Chapter 308: Jiang Xiaomei's Inner Heart
Zhao Xiaofei asked Jiang Di to go to Beijing to bring Jiang's mother to Nanjing. Jiang's mother was a little surprised to see Zhao Xiaofei! Jiang Di did not say that it was Zhao Xiaofei who wanted to see her.
"Auntie! Long time no see. How are you?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.
Mother Jiang was stunned for a second, then said stiffly, "Very good!"
"Auntie! I asked Jiang Di to bring you here mainly because I want you to persuade Xiaomei. I want her to be the executive director of the company, but she doesn't want to. I am sincere and will give her 5% of the shares. I am not in the country all year round, and the company cannot be without people. I have no one I can trust." Zhao Xiaofei said.
Mother Jiang looked at Zhao Xiaofei and said, "Auntie doesn't understand the affairs of you young people! You and Xiaomei have already broken up, and she has worked for you for several years. I think she is tired too."
"Auntie! It was my mother who went a little too far at the beginning. I wanted Xiaomei to work for me so that she could earn more and have some assets for the family. No matter what happens to her in the future, at least she has some assets, and you don't have to worry too much, right?" Zhao Xiaofei said.
Seeing that Jiang's mother hesitated, Zhao Xiaofei continued, "Auntie, although Xiaomei and I are separated, we still have a friendship. We grew up together. Even if I don't want to be her husband, I still want her to be well. Do you think I would cheat her?"
"I have watched you grow up, and I know you wouldn't cheat Xiaomei. But her heart is hurt, and she originally thought she could get over your shadow. But I know she may never be able to get over it in her lifetime. Didn't she have a new boyfriend before? But that boy broke up with her because his family didn't agree. They thought our family was marrying above their station, and Xiaomei was also stubborn and said no, no. But you two have stimulated her too much, and she may not be able to bear it. Now it's not a matter of money, I'm afraid Xiaomei will have a mental breakdown." Jiang's mother said.
This was the first time Zhao Xiaofei knew the truth: he had never considered others. It was also the first time he realized how selfish he was.
Jiang Di, who was standing nearby, saw Zhao Xiaofei's expression and became anxious. He stepped forward and said, "Mom! You have to convince my sister to take over! A woman should have her own career. Who knows what she'll be like in the future! But if she loses her job and her bright future, she'll be left with nothing. Keep her busy and occupied, and maybe she'll be fine someday. If you leave her at home with nothing to do every day, she might start to have wild thoughts, and her condition could get even worse!"
This moved Jiang's mother, but Zhao Xiaofei's conscience was awakened at this time. He knew that if Jiang Xiaomei faced him again, she might really collapse. So Zhao Xiaofei chose to let go and said to Jiang's mother: "Auntie! I didn't know what Xiaomei's situation was before, but now I know, and of course I don't want Xiaomei to get hurt. So let Xiaomei go!"
Zhao Xiaofei turned and left after he finished speaking. Jiang Di looked at her mother and said, "Mom! If you don't think about my sister's future, you should think about mine too! If my sister doesn't take this position, what will I do? My efforts over the past two years will be in vain. I've worked so hard these past few years just to make a difference one day. Now is such a good opportunity, why don't you seize it?"
"Xiao Di, have you forgotten why your sister couldn't marry Xiao Fei? You only think about your future. Have you ever thought about your sister? Have you ever thought about whether she is happy or sad? You are too selfish. You only have yourself in your eyes." Jiang's mother scolded.
"Mom, I..." Jiang Di didn't know how to start.
Zhao Xiaofei returned to the company and had to choose another executive director. He ultimately chose a veteran, someone who had been with the company since he first arrived in Nanjing. He was an expert in antiques, gold, and jade. His name was Wang Lipu, and he was from Nanjing.
No one expected that the company would change its policy so quickly. Yesterday, the company thought Jiang Xiaomei would become their boss's wife, but today it revoked the company's decision and let an old employee of the company be the executive director.
Wang Lipu felt as if he had been struck by luck. He could only say that he worked diligently, but he didn't have any ideas and was just a person who followed the rules.
What can I do? There is no one available now, so this is the only way.
When Jiang Xiaomei learned that her brother had taken her mother to live with her, she immediately asked for leave and went home.
At the Jiang family, Jiang Xiaomei questioned Jiang Di, "Why did you bring Mom here?"
Jiang Di scratched his head and said, "Mom, this is because I miss you. I miss Mom too, so I asked her to come and see you."
"Don't try to be clever with me. You brought mom here because you saw that I didn't want to take over the position of executive director of the company!" Jiang Xiaomei looked at Jiang Di and asked.
"No!" Jiang Di denied.
"Xiaomei, Xiaodi is right. I missed you. I asked him to pick me up. I heard that you don't want to work with Xiaofei anymore?" said Jiang's mother.
"Yes, I want to go home." Jiang Xiaomei said.
"Okay! Then let Xiaodi help you pack and go back to the capital with mom, okay?" said Jiang's mother.
"Okay." Jiang Xiaomei nodded, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
Jiang's mother could tell her daughter seemed troubled, so she said to Jiang Di, "Go buy some Nanjing snacks. I'll chat with your sister!"
"Oh!" Jiang Di agreed and went out to buy things.
Mother Jiang came to her daughter, took her hand and asked, "What's wrong? Are you worried?"
"I don't know how to tell you!" Jiang Xiaomei said.
"Then tell me slowly from the beginning. Mom has plenty of time to listen to you." said Jiang's mother.
"This man is so fickle. I've had enough of it and I'm fed up with it! I originally thought that Zhao Xiaofei was my destination in this life, but I couldn't resist the tricks of fate. Xiaodi actually ruined my love. Later, Zhao Shuo appeared, and I thought that this was how my life would be, marrying a man I didn't love and living my whole life with him. But I didn't expect that I was overthinking it. His family doesn't even look down on me." Jiang Xiaomei had tears in her eyes when she said this.
"Don't be sad, the right person will appear." Jiang's mother comforted.
"No, I don't want to fall in love even if he is suitable for me. A few months ago, Xiaodi drank too much and I went to the police station to pick him up. Guess what I saw?" Jiang Xiaomei said.
"What did you see?" asked Jiang's mother.
"Zhao Xiaofei has a concubine who is in his teens, probably no more than 20 years old. He can't find her family yet, so he can only go to the police station to inquire. I was very sad when I saw it, even sadder than when Xiaofei broke up with me. Xiaofei has changed and become a scumbag. But I am also very lucky that I am not his wife, otherwise I would be the one worrying about him having someone else outside all day long. Xiaofei used to be such an honest man! He was just like a child. Sometimes I always said that he never grew up and despised him. But in fact, he gave me his truest feelings at that time, and he showed his worst side to Qin Baobao." Jiang Xiaomei burst into tears as she spoke.
Jiang's mother felt something was wrong. What was wrong with her daughter? She was talking incoherently and inconsistently. Was she happy or sad?
"Xiaomei! What's wrong with you? Don't scare your mother!" Mother Jiang was a little at a loss when faced with her collapsed daughter.
