Jiang Qiuyue was annoyed by her calling for her mom, and due to her prejudice, she had no patience for Jiang Ruyi. Seeing her cry, she sternly said, “Stop crying! You’re not a baby anymore! It’s just a broken piggy bank! I’ll buy you a new one later.”
She stuffed the money into her wallet, not missing even the coins, totaling 3218 yuan. She wasn’t satisfied and, ignoring Jiang Ruyi’s tears, continued, “Tell me, where did your mom hide the money? That’s all my money! That fox spirit, she’s got good taste, picking my brother as a potential stock. She’s lived well all these years, look at her cosmetics, her clothes. Ungrateful little white-eyed wolf, didn’t even buy me anything!”
She was jealous of Xu Xiangying, who was young, beautiful, and married well, unlike her, who had wasted her youth and married a “phoenix man”. By the way, Jiang Qiuyue’s husband was 13 years younger than her, a “little fresh meat” back then. Unfortunately, keeping a young man was expensive!
As Jiang Qiuyue aged, she couldn’t find good work and relied on the house she owned to keep her husband. Now, even that was barely holding him. That little fresh meat seemed to realize she was all bark and no bite and was eyeing other wealthy women. So, this time, she had to get at least a few hundred thousand, or her marriage was doomed. Her daughter needed a father too.
Thinking of all this, the pressure was immense, and she almost hated Xu Xiangying and her daughter to death. If they weren’t around, everything would be hers. And there was that 600,000 reward. She prayed no one would ever provide any leads. If anyone did, curse their whole family!
“Mom is not a fox spirit.”
“You can’t say bad things about my mom.”
“Boo hoo, I’ll tell dad.”
Normally, anyone would have tried to comfort her by now, but not Jiang Qiuyue. She yelled at her daughter to leave, then closed the door and slapped Jiang Ruyi: “How dare you! Little brat! Behave! Your mom left you, probably ran off with some other man. If your dad finds out, he might not want you either. Still crying? Shut up!”
Jiang Ruyi: “…”
