Feng Shuyao was being pulled along by Li Damei, her face showing displeasure.
"Why are you pulling me? Don't think I don't know you and Jiang Jianguo are exchanging glances. If I weren't so weak, you wouldn't have to work here."
Li Damei smiled broadly, adopting an attitude of not fighting back or arguing back, and winked as she said:
"Do you know what I heard today? Your daughter Jiang Ning started a company outside, I heard it's in trade, making money from foreigners, and the money is flowing into her pocket like water."
Have you seen her send you money even once these days? I think Jiang Rou is more filial than her. She's the one who invited me back during this time when you needed care.”
Feng Shuyao thought about it again and realized that it was true; her two sons also didn't come back for several months at a time.
She recovered, but they probably don't even know it.
However, Jiang Ning is not her biological daughter, so she has no right to seek her help!
Knowing her concerns, Li Damei quickly offered her some advice:
“Jiang Ning runs a company now, so she definitely doesn’t want anyone causing trouble. You just need to ask her for some living expenses. If she doesn’t give them to you, you can threaten her to cause trouble at her company.”
Feng Shuyao nodded, instantly convinced by her.
Li Damei happily told her their home address.
After a night of internal struggle, Feng Shuyao went to the address the next day.
At this moment, in the courtyard house at No. 88, everyone sat around the large table in the courtyard, celebrating Gao Baoliang and Yang Lu's marriage certificate.
They didn't have a wedding ceremony; they simply dressed as bride and groom and hosted a dinner for their closest friends.
In the center of the table was a steaming hot pot, with a dish of condiments in front of each person. Next to the copper hot pot were plates of hand-cut mutton, beef, meatballs, vegetables, and other dishes.
This was quite a unique wedding banquet.
Before the meal began, Gao Baoliang raised his glass and addressed everyone:
"Thank you to all the elders and friends for your care. Lulu and I are finally officially certified to work today."
From now on, we'll be living next door, so everyone can visit each other anytime.
Everyone toasted them and offered their blessings.
Wang Xiufen took a sip of soda and said:
"From now on, if you live next door and don't have time to cook, just come here to eat. I'll do my part."
Yang Lu raised her glass in thanks:
"Thank you, Aunt Wang. I'll definitely need to learn cooking from you in the future."
She had never been to a kitchen since she was a child and didn't know how to cook. Later, she had a nanny, so she didn't need to know how to cook anymore.
Gao Baoliang squeezed her hand and said softly:
"If you don't want to do it, then don't. I can do it."
If he's busy, he can eat at the restaurant at the entrance of the alley; it won't cost much.
We originally wanted to hire someone to take care of her, but she flatly refused, saying that it would be inconvenient to do anything if there was an outsider in the house.
At this moment, Grandpa Ji raised his glass and said to Gao Baoliang and his wife with gratitude:
"Thank you for not looking down on my old bones. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on things at home."
Gao Baoliang quickly lowered his glass and clinked glasses with him.
"Uncle Ji, we're overjoyed that you can stay! You know all the neighbors well, you're the pillar of this place, we all rely on you!"
Ji Yang also raised his glass and downed the wine with his father.
"It's really embarrassing to admit, but something so shameful happened in my family. I was initially hesitant to come because I thought it was bad luck..."
Gao Baoliang raised his glass to stop him from continuing.
"Uncle Ji, we've known each other for a long time, so let's not be so formal. Come to think of it, we've all been quite connected. Back when Zhuangzhuang went missing... sigh, that was a long time ago, why bring it up again? People always have to move on."
By the way, why didn't your daughter come?
Ji Yang sighed, "This child is about to go abroad, but she insisted on seeing Lu Ming one last time. I couldn't stop her, so I let her go."
Just as everyone was eating and chatting, Feng Shuyao stepped across the threshold and walked in with a suspicious look on her face.
She hadn't expected that Jiang Ning's family had so many people.
That's fine. If there are many people around, Jiang Ning won't do anything to her because he wants to save face.
"Jiang Ning, I have something to tell you."
Her gaze fell on Jiang Ning, her face grim and sinister.
Jiang Ning glanced sideways. What's wrong with Feng Shuyao today? Is she no longer mentally impaired?
So, after she recovered from her illness, she thought of coming to cause trouble for her.
"Please leave. I have nothing to say to you."
Jiang Ning immediately kicked them out.
Feng Shuyao showed no intention of leaving; instead, she took a few steps closer to them.
"I'm your mother, how can you talk to me like that?"
Today, I don't want to make a scene. I'm trying to reason with you, so don't be ungrateful.
She was quite self-righteous.
Jiang Ning stood up abruptly, telling them to continue eating, while she took out the agreement severing parent-child ties from her room and showed it to her.
"Didn't Jiang Jianguo tell you about this? Or were you deceived by Li Damei?"
I've known for a long time that you're not my biological mother, but you're still acting all high and mighty!
Look at this carefully. I've severed all ties with you, whether you're biological or adopted. Your life or death is none of my concern.
When Feng Shuyao saw the written agreement severing ties, she was so frightened that she took a step back.
How did you know?
She did the switch so discreetly that no one noticed anything amiss for so many years. Moreover, after the switch, her biological daughter died, and the woman who was switched went insane. No one knew the truth.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but chuckle when she saw her bewildered expression.
"Li Damei was the nurse who delivered your baby back then. Did she discover your secret but not tell you?"
Feng Shuyao felt dizzy and disoriented, never expecting that she had been tricked by Li Damei.
Knowing full well that Jiang Ning knew everything, he still made her embarrass herself.
When she gets back, she'll definitely tear her apart.
At this moment, Sister Hong visited her home again, heavily made up.
Jiang Rou hoped she could find out the whereabouts of the treasure as soon as possible, so she had no choice but to come and curry favor with Jiang Jianguo.
Luckily, Feng Shuyao wasn't there.
"Jianguo, I've heard that Jiang Ning isn't his biological daughter. That Shuyao is really something, abandoning her own daughter to raise someone else's. If word gets out, she'll be laughed at by the neighbors to death!"
I think you should divorce her as soon as possible, so you don't become a laughing stock.
Hongjie took the opportunity to badmouth her in front of Jiang Jianguo.
Jiang Jianguo rubbed Hong Jie's hand, his eyes filled with desire:
"If I divorce her, will you marry me? I need close care in my current condition, can you do that?"
"This...this..."
Just as Sister Hong was organizing her thoughts, Jiang Rou came running over, panting.
"Mom, you'd better go and see! My brother has tied up Ji Tingting with a knife."
