Chapter 26 It's all your fault for being so indiscreet
After listening, Lin Xuesha's eyes flashed with a hint of malice. What was this old woman saying?
Who is the mistress after all? Fu Shenyuan should have belonged to Lin Xuesha from the beginning.
Xu Qinghe portrayed her as someone who sells herself. She doesn't even know what she looks like; how dare she speak to her like that!
Lin Xuesha tugged at Fu Shenyuan's sleeve, looking at him pitifully.
Fu Shenyuan immediately shouted, "Watch your language! Butler, show the guests out!"
Hearing the commotion, the housekeeper came over to escort Xu Qinghe and Jiang Huanchen out.
Fu Shenyuan and Lin Xuesha linked arms and prepared to go to the study to retrieve the diamond jewelry, ignoring them completely.
Xu Qinghe saw that they were about to be kicked out, which wouldn't do, since they hadn't gotten the money yet. She quickly told Jiang Huanchen to go and stop Fu Shenyuan.
Jiang Huanchen immediately understood Xu Qinghe's meaning, and took a big step to stand in front of Fu Shenyuan and Lin Xuesha.
"Brother-in-law! You can't do this to me and Mom! We're your family!"
Xu Qinghe also joined in the act, crying and shouting.
"My poor daughter, her family has been destroyed, and they even brazenly came to her house. My daughter's life is so miserable..."
When Jiang Ranxing returned to the villa, he heard Xu Qinghe crying. Xu Qinghe was complaining that her daughter had been wronged.
Jiang Ranxing found it ironic; when had Xu Qinghe ever truly cared for her daughter?
When the nanny saw that Jiang Ranxing had arrived, she quickly came over and spoke in a low voice.
"Madam, Mr. Jiang and Madam Jiang had a rather unpleasant argument just now. You should go and see them."
Jiang Ranxing could guess what the people in the room were talking about just by looking at them.
Her parents and younger brother always came to her asking for money.
Xu Qinghe and Jiang Huanchen certainly didn't come because they cared about their daughter.
If he truly cared, how could he not have inquired about her well-being after six years of marriage?
Remembering her previous phone call with Jiang Huanchen, when he asked her for money but she refused, Jiang Ranxing felt a pang of anxiety.
Jiang Ranxing quickly walked to the living room and helped Xu Qinghe up.
"Mom, get up first. If you and Huanchen have anything to say, go outside and talk to me. Don't make a scene here."
She glanced at Fu Shenyuan and Lin Xuesha, not wanting to bring her family's affairs to Fu Shenyuan's attention.
She used to be afraid that her family's affairs would affect Fu Shenyuan, and she didn't want Fu Shenyuan to be troubled by family matters.
Now, she doesn't need to let Fu Shenyuan know.
After the divorce, they would no longer be a family, so there was no need to bring it up in front of Fu Shenyuan.
Fu Shenyuan didn't even glance at Jiang Ranxing, but spoke coldly.
"Take care of your family matters and don't make a scene."
Jiang Ranxing gave a sad laugh. Did Fu Shenyuan's words mean that he had already drawn a line between them?
Jiang Ranxing said to Xu Qinghe, "Mom, you and my brother come out with me. Don't make a scene in the villa."
Upon hearing Jiang Ranxing's words, Xu Qinghe's eyes narrowed, and the fawning attitude she had shown towards Fu Shenyuan instantly vanished as she glared fiercely at Jiang Ranxing.
"What did you say! You said I was making a scene? Jiang Ranxing, how can you be so heartless? I've raised a complete ingrate! Don't you even know who you are?!"
Jiang Huanchen also came over and said, "Yeah, sis, how can you talk to your own mother like that! Your brother-in-law has brought other women home. Mom is trying to help you and say a few words for you, and you're saying Mom's making a scene? Have you lost your mind?!"
Lin Xuesha looked up at the Jiang family mother and son, and was extremely satisfied.
As long as this mother and son keep provoking them, who knows what kind of trouble it will cause? The more they make a scene, the faster their divorce will happen.
Lin Xuesha prepared to add another fire inside.
“Auntie, brother, please don’t talk about Ranxing anymore. Ranxing and Mr. Wen have been busy with official business and haven’t had time to take care of Shen Yuan. I heard they don’t even live in the villa anymore.”
Xu Qinghe immediately grasped the key words in Lin Xuesha's words.
"Mr. Wen? A man?" Xu Qinghe glared at Jiang Ranxing and said, "So it's because you're not proper. No wonder your son-in-law doesn't like you. Have you no shame? Have you forgotten who your husband is?"
Jiang Ranxing's vision went black; the sound of Xu Qinghe's scolding was all too familiar.
Xu Qinghe hadn't treated her very well before, but that was because she was a daughter, not a son.
In Xu Qinghe's eyes, giving birth to a daughter for her husband's family was equivalent to giving birth to a money-losing child, while giving birth to a son was what brought honor to the family.
If Jiang Ranxing hadn't managed to marry a wealthy husband, Xu Qinghe's attitude towards her would have only gotten worse.
Jiang Ranxing was also very unhappy with Xu Qinghe's constant disdain and scolding.
However, over the years, Jiang Ranxing has held rather traditional views, always believing that children should always be filial to their parents.
So she told herself to ignore those harsh words and try her best to meet her parents' requests, to be a dutiful child.
As a result, her filial piety was met with even more severe oppression.
"Mom, can you stop making a scene? If you keep this up, I'll have to call the police."
Jiang Ranxing said to Xu Qinghe.
She no longer wanted to endure Xu Qinghe's indiscriminate scolding.
Why should she admit to something she didn't do?
Xu Qinghe didn't expect Jiang Ranxing to talk to her like that.
"Jiang Ranxing, I'm your mother! How dare you talk to me like that! You ungrateful wretch, you still want to send me to jail?!"
Jiang Huanchen said, "Sis, what are you saying! Have you really lost your mind after getting married?"
Jiang Huanchen turned to Fu Shenyuan and asked, "Brother-in-law, what's wrong with my sister?"
Fu Shenyuan glanced at Jiang Ranxing, but he didn't say anything.
Jiang Ranxing stood there, his expression inscrutable.
Jiang Ranxing exudes an aura that evokes both pity and stubbornness.
Jiang Ranxing also looked up, and their eyes met in the air.
With just one glance, an unusual feeling arose between the two of them.
Jiang Ranxing shifted her gaze away, trying to hide the deep disappointment in her eyes, not wanting Fu Shenyuan to see it.
Jiang Ranxing sighed and said, "Mom, Huanchen, I told you, let's talk outside. Don't make a scene here, or you won't get what you want."
Jiang Ranxing didn't explicitly say it was money, because Fu Shenyuan didn't actually know about it.
She didn't want Fu Shenyuan to know before, and she still doesn't want to now.
She never wanted Fu Shenyuan to think that her family was only after money.
What Jiang Ranxing wanted from Fu Shenyuan was never money or material things, but love.
When Xu Qinghe saw that Jiang Ranxing was about to give in, she didn't want to make a scene anymore. Their purpose in coming here was to get money.
As for whether their son-in-law Fu Shenyuan has other women, they really don't care.
Xu Qinghe gestured for Jiang Huanchen to walk together, and then said a few flattering words to Fu Shenyuan before the two of them started to walk out.
Jiang Ranxing breathed a sigh of relief; at this moment, his head was throbbing with pain.
