Chapter 132 - 132: You’re a Big Failure as a Mother
Jiang Lianru, Jiang Huiru’s sister, was trembling with envy: “So what if your grandmother is rich? It’s really not that impressive! The daughters she raised also lack morals! Your mom is just a vixen, seducing someone else’s fiance and pretending to be as pure as a lotus. She’s shameless. My sister was jilted back then, with countless tears shed. It’s all your mother’s fault!”
Qiao Yin retorted harshly: “Shut up! If you defame my mother one more time, I will make sure you can never speak again in your life!”
Jiang Lianru was taken aback by Qiao Yin’s ferocious look and couldn’t help but take a step back.
Qiao Yin’s grandmother and mother were masters at brewing medicinal concoctions. Who knows, perhaps Qiao Yin was carrying some sort of poison that could render her mute in an instant.
Jiang Lianru muttered to herself, the little vixen seems different than the elder one, fiercely scary and not easily bullied.
Qiao Yin scared away Jiang Lianru, then coldly turned to Jiang Huiru: “Even if you were already engaged to Qiao Haidong, my mother was definitely unaware. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have married Qiao Haidong, let alone give him a precious medicine recipe. If you’re hurt, go settle the score with Qiao Haidong. It’s none of my mother’s business!”
“Humph, you’re quite skilled at making excuses for your mother, cleaning her slate white. Now I am the villain!”
Jiang Huiru sneered: “I didn’t come here today to dig up old accounts. If it weren’t for you forcing my son to change schools, I would not bother seeing you. I just wanted to tell you that I am the victim here. Don’t think you can harm my son secretly just because I took your father!”
“Let me also tell you this, I don’t have the time to sabotage your son. His move to another school was his own decision. No matter how much you make a fuss with me, it won’t solve any problem! Instead of spending time on this, why don’t you try to understand your son better? You don’t even know what he really thinks. You’re failing as a mother!”
“It was you who made my son change schools, it was you!”
Qiao Yin was already exhausted and just wanted to go home and rest, no longer in the mood to argue with her.
She simply pushed Jiang Huiru aside, revealing the previously blocked door.
She took out her key, entered, and with a bang, shut the door behind her.
Jiang Huiru staggered from the push, and the sisters created quite a commotion outside the door with their yelling and banging.
The next-door neighbor suddenly came out with a rolling pin in her hand, fuming: “What on earth are you two up to? It’s late at night and you’re making such a racket. You’ve got no decency, making such a noise! If you keep this up, I’m calling the police!”
Seeing how fierce the neighbor was, Jiang Huiru and her sister dared not continue their ruckus and reluctantly left.
No sooner had they left than Qiao Yin hurried over to apologize to the neighbor.
“Aunt Wu, I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb your rest.”
Aunt Wu put down the rolling pin and kindly responded: “There’s nothing to worry about, Yin. I saw how they were bothering you and came out to chase them away. As a young lady, you wouldn’t stand a chance against those two shrews!”
Qiao Yin expressed her gratitude: “Thank you for your help, Aunt Wu.”
“It’s nothing. Your mother used to live here, and she and I were well acquainted. Now that she’s gone, it’s only right that I look out for you.”
Aunt Wu then lowered her voice: “Just remember not to believe what those two said. Your mother never stole anyone’s fiance. I have to say, your father was not a match for your mother. Your mother was beautiful and skilled in medicine, with plenty of admirers.”
So she had heard everything.
Qiao Yin sighed and then nodded her head in agreement. She too didn’t believe that her mother would steal someone’s fiance and also felt that Qiao Haidong didn’t deserve her mother.
“It was your father who relentlessly pursued your mother. Of course, your father was quite charming, which was somewhat advantageous. Back then, he was very obedient to your mother, swearing that he would treat her well, hence they ended up together. I never heard any stories about Qiao Haidong having a fiancee. Be careful not to be deceived by others..”
