Inside the Ouyang family villa.
Ouyang Maomao pets all sorts of cats in her cozy house.
Xu Min loves raising cats.
From childhood, the most common pets in my family were cats, and we even had dedicated servants who bathed and dressed them.
So Ouyang Maomao felt from a young age that her mother actually loved cats more than her.
Little did she know that her mother actually hoped her daughter would be pampered and cared for like a kitten, which is why she named her "Cat".
The door opened, and Xu Min walked straight to her side.
"Come on, Mom will take you to confront these two people face to face!"
She pulled Ouyang Maomao toward the door, unable to swallow a single breath.
"No one has ever dared to harm my daughter, Xu Min's daughter, not even if the other party is the King of Heaven himself."
Ouyang Maomao trailed behind, gripping the edge of the door tightly, her eyes fixed on her father, hoping he would step forward and say something.
Seeing that her father remained unmoved, Ouyang Maomao shouted at her, "Mom! I'm not going!"
"Come on, your dad doesn't care, Mom will make the decision for you!"
"mom!"
She was somewhat angry.
Xu Min paused.
"What kind of attitude is that? Do you think I want to control you?"
Ouyang Maomao stood there and cried.
"Why didn't you care about me when I was little? Why are you suddenly taking care of me now that I'm grown up?"
She was also bullied at school when she was a child, and only Su Wanwan would stand up for her.
Xu Min was very unhappy to hear this. "When you were a child? Look at your father when you were a child. If I hadn't gone out to work with your father, would you have the comfortable life you have now?"
The absence of her parents during her childhood made it impossible for her to communicate with them directly; she even felt that money was the most important thing in the world.
Nothing else matters; family, love, and friendship are all just ways to improve one's personal happiness index.
But she doesn't need those things; what she wants is money. As long as the other person is very wealthy and their family income is among the highest in the world, she will be with him.
This way, when she has children in the future, she can ensure that she can be with her children from childhood to adulthood.
This time, she wanted to make a big scene and gamble that Su Wanwan would give Jiang Shengjun to her. If her mother intervened, she would lose her balance in the relationship.
She shook off her mother's hand: "You don't need to worry about me. I can do these things myself. I've already figured out how to solve it."
Xu Min suddenly felt weak all over, as if she was no longer recognizing her daughter, but she still wanted to spoil her, because her daughter had suffered too much when she was young.
That's what I was thinking, but when I said it, it came out differently, and my tone became much harsher.
"How are you going to resolve this! The lawyer's letter has already been sent to our home. He refuses to take any responsibility for the child in your womb and is even going to sue a newborn child. Do you think he'll treat you well after you marry him, given his attitude?!"
Ouyang Maomao is obsessed with money, but ashamed to face her own desires, fearing that her mother will condemn her if she speaks out.
So I had no choice but to use love as a shield.
"Mom, I love him, I love him so much. So what if he doesn't love me? I can still be with him for the rest of my life. Our grandmother likes me very much. She said the other day that she would help me. My best friend Su Wanwan is not a bad person either. She will help me."
"Smack!"
Xu Min raised her hand and slapped her across the face. "When did my Ouyang family raise a daughter like you who would commit adultery? Do you even know what shame is?"
"Shame?"
"How much is a sense of shame worth?"
Can a sense of shame bring me a good life?
At this moment, Xu Min realized that she had failed her daughter. She hadn't spent enough time with her and educated her properly when she was young. But that was not an excuse for her mistakes. She believed that it was never too late to educate a child.
"Kitty, do you know that if a man doesn't want to marry you, and you force yourself into his world, you'll get hurt. You won't even be happy spending money on him, because he can't give you love."
Ouyang Maomao smiled, her eyes vacant as she looked away. She didn't want to say anything more; she just wanted to be alone.
Seeing that she was avoiding the question, Xu Min reached out and pulled her back to confront her directly: "You're 24 this year. Do you still think you're a child? Think carefully about what your mother just said."
"No need to think, I already know. Since you also understand that having money without love is not something to be happy about, then why did you only give me money and not love and companionship when I was a child? Didn't I grow up step by step to where I am today? I didn't receive love when I was a child, I only received money. Money is your way of expressing love, so shouldn't men be the same?"
As soon as she said that, Xu Min got angry.
The daughter's rebuttal was indeed reasonable, but she is the mother. How can a junior dare to criticize an elder so boldly? What will happen after she marries someone else?
She can spoil her daughter at home and indulge her, but if she lets her daughter go out and treats people the same way, she will suffer sooner or later.
She reminded her daughter, "Ouyang Maomao, I am your mother. Let me tell you, respecting your elders is something you should do. If you continue to talk back to me like this, I will never help you again."
It was just an ordinary sentence, but it completely blocked Ouyang Maomao's path to family affection.
"Who needs your help! I'd rather die than have your help!"
She stormed out, crying, slamming the door behind her, without saying a word.
With a "bang!" the door slammed shut, and the room fell silent. Even her husband ignored her.
She squatted there, holding back her tears. At that moment, only the kittens rubbed against her legs.
*
Under the dense sycamore trees, Ouyang Maomao sat on the grass, hugging her knees, unsure of what to do.
The first person I asked when I picked up my phone was Jiang Rou.
[Rou Rou, what should I do? I'm only a little over a month pregnant, and Jiang Shengjun has already sued me without saying a word. It seems like he's really determined to be with Su Wanwan.]
Jiang Rou: [It's alright. Stay calm and don't panic. Go back to the old house to see the matriarch again and try to appease her. She'll definitely stand up for you.]
What if Grandma doesn't want to deal with this either? If Jiang Shengjun doesn't drop the charges, the child will be ruined once the test results are positive.
Jiang Rou: [There are three methods now. The first one is to go to the ancestor, as mentioned earlier. The second one is to go to Su Wanwan and appeal to her emotions. Don't be too forceful. I've noticed that Su Wanwan responds better to gentle persuasion than force.]
What about the third one?
[The third possibility is that Jiang Shengjun still sues you. In that case, you should go directly to Fu Yan and get some hair or something from him. When Jiang Shengjun goes for DNA testing, have someone switch the sample. This process is the most troublesome. Try to handle the first two possibilities as well.]
Okay, I'll do as you say.
Let's act now; the sooner we act, the sooner we can seize the initiative.
