Upon hearing Tang An's words, Shi Mubai's expression became quite complicated.
He turned and glanced in Jiang Ning's direction.
She got married and divorced at the age of nineteen.
It seems so.
Some people really can't be judged by appearances alone.
Jiang Ning looks clean and pretty.
Can.....
Tang An calmly observed Shi Mubai's expression, a slight smile playing on his lips, and then said, "Brother Mubai, I'm not telling you about Shengbao's divorce to sow discord. I just feel sorry for her and hope that you can protect and cherish her like the thirteen brothers of the Si family. After all, Shengbao has suffered in the countryside for more than ten years."
Tang An acted like a kind older sister, and her acting skills, which were so good that it was hard to tell if she was being genuine.
At this point, Tang An continued, "Although everyone says that good girls don't divorce and abandon their families for no reason, I don't know why Sheng Bao got married and divorced at such a young age. But I know that the divorce was definitely not her fault. Sheng Bao is so outstanding, she certainly wouldn't do anything outrageous during her marriage. Brother Mu Bai, you must not be prejudiced against her just because she was divorced."
Tang An's words, seemingly pleading for Jiang Ning, were actually no different from smearing her.
Because Tang An's purpose was obvious from the beginning.
She will slowly drive Jiang Ning out of the Shi family!
She wanted everyone to hate Jiang Ning!
Isolate Jiang Ning!
Sure enough, Shi Mubai's expression changed after hearing Tang An's words.
In particular, the line "A good girl wouldn't divorce and abandon her family for no reason" directly ripped open Shi Mubai's already scabbed wound.
The bleeding wouldn't stop.
Shi Mubai felt as if he had returned to the day his mother left home.
The five-year-old boy clung tightly to his mother's legs, begging her not to leave.
But his mother still pushed him away mercilessly.
My mother just left.
The father then jumped from the eighteenth floor.
Shi Mubai will always remember that morning.
In the blink of an eye, Shi Mubai went from a child with a happy family to an orphan.
"Does she have children?" Shi Mubai then asked.
Shi Mubai's way of addressing Jiang Ning has changed from "Shengbao" to "she".
“No children,” Tang An shook his head. “However, I don’t know if she’s had an abortion. Actually, Sheng Bao is still so young, it’s normal that she doesn’t want children! Come to think of it, it’s actually good not to have children. If we had children, who knows how much of an impact it would have on them! When parents divorce, the biggest victims are the children.”
Shi Mubai's expression changed slightly.
Yes.
Tang An is right.
When parents divorce, the children are always the victims.
Moreover, although Tang An did not say it explicitly, his implication was quite clear: Jiang Ning had an abortion.
Thinking of this, a strong look of disgust flashed in Shi Mubai's eyes.
Catching the disgust in Shi Mubai's eyes, Tang An's lips curled slightly. She took Shi Mubai's hand and smiled sweetly as ever, "Brother Mubai, let's not talk about this! We haven't seen each other for so long, let's talk about something else! You've been abroad for so long, have you brought me back a sister-in-law?"
Shi Mubai shook his head. "No rush."
Because of childhood trauma, Shi Mubai is terrified of marriage and dating girls.
He fears his child will become a second him.
If he cannot guarantee that he can provide his child with a healthy and happy family, he would rather not get married.
--
The family reunion banquet is still ongoing.
Popular male and female stars are singing on stage.
The atmosphere at the scene was particularly lively, and when the song reached its climax, the guests in the audience would hum along.
Madam Shi led Jiang Ning through the crowd, introducing her to family relatives, friends, and business partners.
After all, Jiang Ning will be taking over the Shi family in the future.
Old Madam Shi took Jiang Ning's arm and led her through the banquet hall.
"Shengbao, this is President Song and Mrs. Song. They have been cooperating with our family for over ten years."
Jiang Ning then spoke up. "Mr. Song, Mrs. Song, hello, I'm Shi Sheng."
Mr. Song was soon called away for drinks by his colleagues.
Mrs. Song was left to chat with Jiang Ning.
Mrs. Song was holding the hand of a boy who looked to be about ten years old. She looked at Jiang Ning with amazement in her eyes. "Miss Shi is indeed young and beautiful. She has the same charm as the old lady when she was young! Come, Haoran, quickly call her Sister Shi."
Song Haoran glanced at Shi Sheng, then looked timid and remained silent.
Mrs. Song explained, "Haoran just doesn't like to greet people, Miss Shi, please don't mind."
Jiang Ning said, "Mrs. Song is joking. It's normal for Haoran to be young and not like to greet people. It's alright."
Mrs. Song continued, "This child not only doesn't like to greet people, but he's also been sleeping poorly lately, often waking up in the middle of the night. He doesn't eat much either, which is really worrying me."
Jiang Ning glanced at Song Haoran and asked, "Mrs. Song, did Haoran's condition only start in the last two months?"
“Yes!” Mrs. Song nodded, and asked in surprise, “Miss Shi, how did you figure that out?”
Madam Shi said proudly, "Mrs. Song, my granddaughter knows traditional Chinese medicine, and her medical skills are excellent!"
Tang An stood right behind them and heard their conversation very clearly.
Is your medical skill very good?
A sarcastic look appeared in Tang An's eyes.
Madam Shi was not afraid of being laughed at by others.
