Chapter 247
These words were somewhat provocative.
Anyone could hear it, Jiang Meishu was no exception. What's more, there were so many people in the room, but Zhao Xiaojuan didn't ask, but instead asked Jiang Meishu.
The meaning here is naturally self-evident.
Without waiting for Jiang Meishu to reply, Jiang Lamei took the initiative and slapped Zhao Xiaojuan on the shoulder. "What are you talking about? Do you still want to behave like a human being?"
"Also, why are you asking your cousin?"
Zhao Xiaojuan was used to being beaten, and she was tired of being beaten these days, so she didn't seem surprised at her mother's blame. Instead, she rubbed her shoulders coldly.
"I asked Cousin Jiang Meilan because she came here by herself, so you know better than me, right?"
Jiang Meishu was no longer angry at this moment. She was very calm, "You want to follow my path?
"No?"
Zhao Xiaojuan asked back.
Jiang Meishu, "Do you think it's okay?"
"Zhao Xiaojuan." She walked up to Zhao Xiaojuan, as if she was meeting her cousin who grew up with her for the first time.
"It's fine if you have ambition, but don't bring others into it. If you want to be a bitch, then be one."
"It's quite boring to drag other people into this."
The word "bitch" deeply hurt Zhao Xiaojuan's self-esteem. "What did you say?"
Jiang Meishu said, "Neither the Jiang family nor the Zhao family has ever had unmarried pregnancies, or anyone eager to become a mistress, or knowingly becoming a mistress. If you are one of them, please stay away from us."
"Xiaoju is still young. If she knew there was such a filthy elder, her life would be ruined."
"Don't you think so, Auntie?"
Jiang Meishu was halfway through her words when she suddenly turned the topic to Jiang Lamei.
Jiang Lamei has been the director of the trade union for her entire life and is considered a respectable person. She can hardly bear being attacked from both her daughter and niece, and her face is burning.
"Meilan."
She tried to explain, "Xiaojuan did something wrong, but she's still young."
"Not small anymore."
Jiang Meishu was very calm, "I'm 23 years old, I'm already an adult."
"Aunt, I'm telling you the truth. I regret bringing Zhao Xiaojuan to the South. After what happened this time, I'll be frank. We can't accommodate Zhao Xiaojuan here."
"You now have two choices. The first is to move out of here, and the second is to return to the capital."
Jiang Lamei was stunned for a moment.
Before she could react, Zhao Xiaojuan rushed over and demanded, "Why are you chasing me away?"
Twenty-three-year-old Zhao Xiaojuan, after seeing Jiang Meishu living a comfortable life after marrying Liang Qiurun, she also wanted to take a shortcut.
This shortcut also made Zhao Xiaojuan completely detached from her family.
She forgot that she and Jiang Meishu were once good sisters. Even though Jiang Meilan and the others had a bad relationship, they grew up together.
Facing Zhao Xiaojuan's questioning, Jiang Meishu remained calm. "Why? Because I'm the owner of this house. Is that enough?"
"Zhao Xiaojuan, I once supported you, helped you, took you in, and brought you along. You didn't see any of that. You only saw that I married Liang Qiurun and lived a good life. So you want to take this shortcut too, right?"
Zhao Xiaojuan didn't say anything.
Jiang Meishu, however, poured out a barrage of words, "Since you want to take a shortcut, then go for it completely and walk your own path."
"From now on, you go your way, and I'll go mine."
This is to sever ties.
Jiang Lamei noticed it keenly, and she shouted out almost reflexively, "Meishu!"
As soon as these two words fell, the room instantly became quiet.
Jiang Meishu paused for a moment, she looked at Jiang Lamei and straightened her collar, "Aunt, you are confused because of anger. I am not Jiang Meishu, I am Jiang Meilan."
After these words were spoken, no one around thought much about it, especially Zhao Xiaojuan, whose mind was filled with the thought that Jiang Meishu wanted to drive her away.
Naturally, she didn't notice what her mother blurted out.
Jiang Lamei's face was a little dull. She continued with Jiang Meishu's words, "Meilan, I know Xiaojuan is an ignorant child. Can you give her another chance?"
She noticed that the children from her mother's family were doing better than each other. If Xiaojuan was kicked out, that might be how her life would be.
Jiang Meishu withdrew her hand and distanced herself from Jiang Lamei. She said calmly, "Aunt, I gave her a chance, and more than once. Do you think it worked?"
At this point, Zhao Xiaojuan was still provoking her.
Even a clay man has a temper.
Jiang Lamei was speechless. She went to pull Zhao Xiaojuan and said, "Xiaojuan, hurry up and apologize to your cousin."
"No, I can't afford it."
Jiang Meishu raised her wrist to check the time. "It's 10:40 AM now. I'll give you three minutes to think about it."
"Leave or return to the capital, it's your choice."
Zhao Xiaojuan's expression changed. "Cousin, are you really so disregarding my feelings?"
Jiang Meishu, "Favor?"
"Zhao Xiaojuan, haven't I shown you enough kindness? Without kindness, do you think you can come to Yangcheng and live in my house?"
"You can't be too shameless."
Jiang Meishu didn't want to continue talking to her. It was a waste of time. She raised her wrist and looked at her watch. "You've already wasted one minute. There are still two minutes left."
"If you don't make a choice, I'll throw you out."
Jiang Lamei couldn't sit still anymore after hearing this, "Meilan!"
Jiang Meishu was unmoved. Jiang Lamei had no choice but to look at Jiang Chenliang, her own younger brother.
Jiang Chenliang saw it, of course. Just as he was about to open his mouth to plead, Wang Limei grabbed him and spoke on his behalf, "Sister, please don't make things difficult for Chenliang. He has no say in this family because it's not his home. If Meilan gets really angry, she might even send her own father back."
Jiang Lamei's expression changed.
Wang Limei continued, "Don't think my child is heartless. First of all, she didn't start it. It was your Zhao Xiaojuan who repeatedly touched my child's bottom line. My child has done everything he could to treat her well."
"If you believe what I say, take Zhao Xiaojuan back to the capital."
When Wang Limei said this, she meant it sincerely, "Otherwise, your Zhao Xiaojuan will go down the wrong path sooner or later."
What she didn't say was that she felt Zhao Xiaojuan could make mistakes, but she couldn't let her child be implicated by the mistake she made.
This is something Wang Limei would never allow.
If Jiang Lamei had been holding onto some thoughts, her face suddenly turned pale and her lips trembled after Wang Limei said this. "I will take her back to the capital."
Zhao Xiaojuan shrieked, "I won't reply."
"I'm not going back."
What's so good about the capital? It's nothing like Guangzhou, with all its bright lights and partying, where everything is the latest trend.
"It's not up to you."
Jiang Lamei looked at her daughter Zhao Xiaojuan's stubbornness and immediately became cruel. She slapped her in the face and said, "You don't want to be a good person, but you want to be a prostitute, don't you?"
In Jiang Lamei's eyes, her daughter Zhao Xiaojuan was no different from a prostitute after she said that.
Zhao Xiaojuan didn't know whether she was stunned by the slap or hurt by the word "prostitute".
She immediately covered her face and screamed at the top of her lungs, "Mom, is this how you look at me?"
Without waiting for Jiang Lamei to answer, Jiang Meishu pointed directly at the door and said, "Get out!"
"Get out now."
It’s too noisy, making my head buzz.
As soon as Jiang Meishu finished speaking, Zhao Xiaojuan turned around and ran away. Jiang Lamei was angry and didn't want to chase her, but then she thought again and was afraid that something might happen after Zhao Xiaojuan shouted out.
I can only turn around and catch up.
As soon as the mother and daughter left, the room instantly became quiet. Jiang Meishu rubbed her eyebrows and then found a place to sit down.
She has been running around outside recently and the work intensity is so high that she can't adapt. The noise at home makes her feel emotionally overwhelmed.
"Meishu, are you okay?"
Wang Limei asked her in a low voice.
Jiang Meishu rubbed her pale face and said, "Mom, please help me pour a glass of boiled water. I need to take a break."
Wang Limei naturally agreed. After she left, Jiang Chenliang looked at her for a moment before whispering, "Meilan, she is your aunt after all. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to drive her away like this?"
Jiang Meishu pinched her thorny brows and said, "If I don't chase her away, and she really does something like that, Dad, will you be able to hold your heads up high while living in this house?"
Although their family is not wealthy, they are at least a respectable family. They do not commit crimes, steal, rob, or destroy other people's families.
But Zhao Xiaojuan is no longer like that. According to her thinking, she would be willing to destroy other people's families in order to climb up the ladder.
When Jiang Chenliang heard this, he fell silent. "She's still young."
Jiang Meishu looked up at him, and Jiang Chenliang immediately stopped talking. Jiang Meishu said calmly, "The only child in our family who is still young is Xiaoju. The others are all adults."
She closed her eyes, rejecting Jiang Chenliang's plea.
Jiang Chenliang had no choice but to sigh and go out to smoke.
After a while, Wang Limei brought some water over. Jiang Meishu drank a glass of boiled water, and she felt that the headache had subsided a little.
She then carefully warned, "Mom, if you still want to live a peaceful life in the future, Zhao Xiaojuan can no longer let her in."
Wang Limei is different from Jiang Chenliang. She always stands on her children's side no matter what.
She nodded immediately, "I know."
"Put Zhao Xiaojuan and my aunt's things outside the door." After drinking some water, Jiang Meishu's thoughts slowly calmed down. "Put three hundred yuan in my aunt's bag."
The three hundred yuan was enough for her aunt and Zhao Xiaojuan to go back to the capital, and there was even some extra.
Wang Limei: "Okay."
"You obey me in everything?"
Jiang Meishu was a little surprised.
Wang Limei was very open-minded. "You and Meilan are both more powerful than me now. If I don't listen to you, who should I listen to?"
Jiang Meishu was originally in a bad mood, but when she heard this, she burst out laughing, "Mom, don't worry about me and my sister. We will always know our limits and will not harm our interests."
But if it belongs to someone else, she can't guarantee it.
Wang Limei nodded and pinched her temples, and then Jiang Meishu left.
It was only the second day after she left when Wang Limei called again, "Meishu, something happened."
"After your aunt and Zhao Xiaojuan boarded the train, Zhao Xiaojuan initially behaved well, but then she got off the train without permission and disappeared."
When Jiang Meishu heard this, she took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry about her."
"Everyone has his own destiny."
From Zhao Xiaojuan, she understood the importance of respecting other people's destiny.
Wang Limei was a little embarrassed. She said cryptically, "But your aunt is still pestering me at home."
Jiang Meishu understood immediately, "Give her the phone."
The moment Jiang Lamei received the call, she started crying, "Meishu, Meishu, Auntie knows you are capable now, you must save Xiaojuan."
Jiang Lamei has been a strong-willed person all her life, otherwise she would not have been able to become the director of the trade union as a woman.
Jiang Meishu said calmly, "Aunt, go call the police."
“Only the police can help you.”
Jiang Lamei didn't want to call the police because she was afraid that if she did, Zhao Xiaojuan's reputation would be ruined.
"Aunt, if I were you, I would definitely call the police. The sooner you find Zhao Xiaojuan, the sooner she'll be out of danger."
"Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."
Jiang Meishu didn't seem surprised that Zhao Xiaojuan would leave without saying goodbye. She had done this before.
If there is one, there will be two. It’s not surprising.
Jiang Lamei seemed to have completely regained her resolve, and she immediately made up her mind to call the police. However, Zhao Xiaojuan seemed to be deliberately hiding from her family.
Jiang Lamei searched for him in Guangzhou for a whole month but there was no news.
This made Jiang Lamei completely disappointed.
After Jiang Meishu got the news, she just sighed and turned to ask Qiao Jiahui, "Jiahui, has Zhao Xiaojuan come to see you?"
Qiao Jiahui shook his head, "No."
He looked like a good boy, full of curiosity, "Sister-in-law, didn't you tell me not to mess with your cousin?"
"Why did you think of asking her?"
Jiang Meishu, "She's missing."
Qiao Jiahui was stunned for a moment, "Call the police if they're missing."
Jiang Meishu looked at him and he certainly didn't seem to be lying. She sighed, "I called the police, but it's been a month and they still haven't found him."
Qiao Jiahui thought for a moment and said, "Either she hid herself and deliberately didn't let you find her, or something happened to her."
But whether it is the former or the latter, it is not the result Jiang Meishu wants to see.
She hummed and didn't want to bring up the subject anymore.
However, Qiao Jiahui was too embarrassed to ask again when he saw that she didn't want to talk about it. However, what Qiao Jiahui didn't expect was that when he returned home that night, there was a person squatting at the door.
The corridor was too dark, he didn't see it and almost bumped into it.
It was Zhao Xiaojuan who finally reacted. She immediately stood up and shouted happily, "Mr. Qiao, I'm Zhao Xiaojuan. Do you still remember me?"
Qiao Jiahui looked at the embarrassed Zhao Xiaojuan and frowned slightly. If he had been like before, he would have been exposed, but he had been training with Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun for three or four years.
Now he is much calmer.
"I remember you. Are you my sister-in-law's cousin?"
Zhao Xiaojuan was naturally surprised when she heard the first half of the sentence, but she frowned slightly when she heard the second half. However, she was now at the doorstep and still wanted to be taken in by Qiao Jiahui, so it was difficult for her to refute it.
"It's me."
She was a little hesitant and a little embarrassed. "Mr. Qiao, I had a big fight with my cousin, and now I ran away alone. I really have nowhere to go."
"Mr. Qiao, I wonder if you can take me in?"
When she said this, she clasped her hands together, looking pitiful.
Seeing that Qiao Jiahui didn't say anything, Zhao Xiaojuan immediately added, "Don't worry, I won't let you raise me in vain. I can cook, wash clothes, and clean. I can also take care of you. Just treat me as a nanny."
As long as she could stay by Qiao Jiahui's side, she would be willing to do anything.
Qiao Jiahui looked at her strangely, but thought of his sister-in-law during the day, who was still worried about the disappearance of his little cousin.
He hummed, took the key and opened the door, "Come in first."
But he didn't say whether to take her in or not.
Zhao Xiaojuan misunderstood and thought Qiao Jiahui had agreed to her request. She was immediately delighted and said, "Mr. Qiao, don't worry. I will definitely not let you raise me in vain."
Qiao Jiahui hummed, "Go on."
"You stink, go take a shower first."
As soon as these words fell, Zhao Xiaojuan blushed, and her mind immediately became filled with thoughts, "I don't have any clothes."
During the time she sneaked out, she lived in a guesthouse. Fortunately, the guesthouses in Guangzhou did not require travel certificates, otherwise she would have to sleep in the open.
But the three hundred yuan she stole could not afford such eating and drinking. When the money was all spent, she had no choice but to ask around for news about Qiao Jiahui and finally came to him for help.
As for going back, she didn't dare to go back.
Qiao Jiahui thought for a moment and took out two women's clothes from the closet. "You wear them first."
Zhao Xiaojuan looked at the woman's skirt and her face turned pale instantly. There was a woman next to Mr. Qiao.
Otherwise, how could he have women's clothes?
However, this was just a fleeting thought, and Zhao Xiaojuan comforted herself that it was normal for a young master like Mr. Qiao to have a woman by his side.
It was enough for her to be just one of his many women.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaojuan secretly encouraged herself and looked at Qiao Jiahui with a radiant look.
If Zhao Xiaojuan was not his sister-in-law's cousin, Qiao Jiahui might actually agree to let her be his girlfriend for a while.
Unfortunately, his sister-in-law had warned him many times that rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows. If he really attacked Zhao Xiaojuan, his sister-in-law and Brother Qiurun would probably not play with him anymore.
Apparently thighs are more important than an insignificant woman.
Qiao Jiahui listened to the sound of water coming from the bathroom. After he was sure that the other party would not come out for the time being, he walked to the phone and dialed the number.
After a while, the other end picked up the phone. It was Liang Qiurun's voice, "Jiahui, you'd better be okay."
At this time, he and Jiang Meishu were both asleep. The phone call in the middle of the night almost woke Jiang Meishu up.
Qiao Jiahui shrank his neck when he heard it, "I have something important to do, I have something important to do, really."
He didn't dare to call Liang Qiurun and Jiang Meishu on the phone, but just said vaguely, "That person showed up and came to see me in the evening."
Liang Qiurun narrowed his eyes suddenly, and he immediately realized something.
"Zhao Xiaojuan?"
Qiao Jiahui: "Yeah."
Liang Qiurun made a quick decision, "You keep her, we'll come over later." After hanging up the phone, Jiang Meishu was also woken up by the ringing of the phone, "Who is it?"
She was half asleep.
Liang Qiurun came over immediately and tidied her clothes. "It's Jiahui. He said Zhao Xiaojuan went to see her."
As soon as these words fell, Jiang Meishu's sleepiness disappeared immediately, "Who?"
"Zhao Xiaojuan, she went to see Qiao Jiahui."
Jiang Meishu said almost reflexively, "Catch her."
She was about to jump out of bed, but Liang Qiurun held her down, "Don't worry, if she can run away once, she can run away a second time. Think clearly about how to find her. Should we go alone, or should we notify your aunt as well?"
In order to find Zhao Xiaojuan, Jiang Lamei has been staying in Yangcheng for the past few months.
"Notify my aunt."
Jiang Meishu said, "We must notify her and hand Zhao Xiaojuan over to her."
At this point, she also sighed, "What if I leave it to her? Can my aunt control someone with long legs? If someone really wants to run away, they can run away anyway."
"That's their business. It has nothing to do with us." Liang Qiurun helped her put on her clothes. "Go wash your face. I'll call your aunt."
Jiang Meishu hesitated and said, "I'll fight."
"No, I'll do it."
Liang Qiurun insisted for once, "Go wash your face."
Jiang Meishu let out a sigh, and when she came over again, Liang Qiurun had already hung up the phone. She didn't know what he said to Jiang Lamei.
"We're not in a hurry to get there."
Liang Qiurun, "Go lie down for a while. When your aunt comes from Yangcheng, we'll go together."
Jiang Meishu was a little worried, "Will Zhao Xiaojuan run away?"
Liang Qiurun shook her head. "She had a hard time getting close to Jiahui. As long as Jiahui's side is not exposed, she will not leave on her own initiative."
People who have a goal in mind will not give up until they achieve it.
From the very beginning, Zhao Xiaojuan's target was Qiao Jiahui.
Jiang Meishu hummed and lay down again, but she couldn't fall asleep. "Let's go to Jiahui's place now, even if we have to wait outside."
Liang Qiurun nodded, and after going out, he was shocked to realize the inconvenience of not having a car.
He got a bicycle for his daily use and took Jiang Meishu with him. On the way, Jiang Meishu put her arm around his waist and chatted with him about everything, but she didn't mention the car.
This made Liang Qiurun feel extremely guilty, "Jiang Jiang."
"Um?"
"Let's buy a car after this is over."
Poor Liang Qiurun made a lot of money, but he handed it all over to Jiang Meishu, and he himself had less than a hundred yuan.
Jiang Meishu was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and said, "Okay."
"Ask Jiahui to help us keep an eye out for a cost-effective car."
Seeing that she agreed, Liang Qiurun breathed a sigh of relief. The China Merchants Bank was not far from where Qiao Jiahui lived, and he was unwilling to force himself to live in the China Merchants Bank.
So I bought a small courtyard not far away and renovated it completely. It is very comfortable.
After Liang Qiurun and Jiang Meishu arrived, they did not rush in, but stood at the door for a long time, until half past eleven.
Jiang Lamei and her men appeared at the door in a mighty procession. Tears welled up in her eyes, but her face was filled with murderous intent. "Where is that rebellious girl?"
