Veiled Heartbreak

At this moment, Jiang’s mother, alerted by the noise, came downstairs. Seeing the tense atmosphere, she quickly stepped in to mediate. Jiang’s mother smiled at the older man: “Mr. Sun, give me your bank account number, and I’ll transfer the money to you right away.” Mr. Sun was somewhat surprised and then put on a stern face: “Repay the money? Sure, Zhou Huifang, you borrowed two million from me back then, and now with interest, you owe four hundred and thirty million!” Jiang’s mother’s expression changed: “Mr. Sun, you…” “I’ll say it once, either you pay back this amount, or you call Jiang Nuan out today to marry Sun Bo!” Fu Yusen coldly watched the man’s arrogance, his fists clenched. The people he dealt with were usually well-informed and cautious; few dared to be so brazen in front of him. Not to mention, the person they were objectifying was Jiang Nuan. Jiang’s mother thought for a moment and said, “Alright, I’ll repay.” Mr. Sun smiled with satisfaction, then turned to glare at Fu Yusen, about to say something when Jiang’s mother leaned in and whispered, “Mr. Sun, this is the president of Fu’s in Luocheng. It’s best not to offend him.” Mr. Sun’s face turned into a palette of colors, changing several times before he could say a word. Fu Yusen looked at them, his eyes filled with impatience: “Get lost.” Mr. Sun, as if granted a pardon, quickly dragged his son, who was still covering his nose, away. Jiang’s mother smiled at Fu Yusen, then turned to go back inside. Fu Yusen called out to her, asking, “Auntie, do you need my help?” He thought Jiang’s mother wasn’t bad to that extent; at least when it came to money or Jiang Nuan, she chose Jiang Nuan. Jiang’s mother turned around, her voice somewhat desolate: “No need, I cashed the check last time. Even if it’s only half, there’s still money.” She hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, “Back then, I told Nuan Nuan that nothing is more important than money, and she didn’t believe me. She even tore up the check. How silly she was, just an illegitimate child, how could she compare to ten million.” The unspoken thought was, but now, she would rather trade that ten million to have Jiang Nuan back. Now, she has the money, but there’s no one to see her off in her final moments. That Jiang Nuan, she’s really heartless.
