Chapter 24: Uncle, Did You Say These Things To Mother Too?
Meng Qinian and Meng Lei’s pupils suddenly contracted.
Meng Qinian’s eyes gradually reddened, his whole body trembling, gritting his teeth as he asked her: “You… what do you mean by that?”
The little ghost in anger had no intention of leaving Ruan Yu any face, tearing it all away completely.
Ruan Yu had a romance with Meng Lei while in university.
But at that time, Meng Lei hadn’t founded the company yet; he was just a poor boy.
Ruan Yu came from a well-off family, and in her dorm, there was a fair, rich, and beautiful girl from S City who spent money like water every month, buying all kinds of designer clothes bags casually.
Due to being taken by the fair, rich, and beautiful girl to a rich people’s banquet by chance one time, Ruan Yu opened her eyes to a new world and gradually became vain.
But her living expenses weren’t even enough for a fraction of a designer bag, and even though Meng Lei went out to do part-time jobs every month and gave her the money, it still wasn’t enough.
Gradually, having seen the arrogance of the rich second generation, Ruan Yu looked down on Meng Lei who was still a poor boy and broke up with him.
Later, after graduating from university, she indeed married a rich second generation as she wished, but marrying up wasn’t as wonderful as she had imagined.
The strict rules in the wealthy family, the dissatisfaction of her husband’s family with her family background, her other half’s philandering and domestic violence, all these trivial matters gradually gave rise to regret in her heart, especially when she learned that Meng Lei had founded a company and married a rich man’s daughter, escaping the poor class in one move, her regret reached its peak.
She couldn’t help but think, what if she hadn’t left Meng Lei back then? Wouldn’t she be the spirited Meng family madam?
So, during a trip to Siam organized by her husband’s family, when she went to the temple to worship and happened to hear the monk mention raising little ghosts, she got ideas.
After learning that the fiercer the raised little ghost, the higher the chance of the wished wish coming true, she paid a high price to have the monk summon a pair of extremely fierce twin little ghosts for her.
After summoning the little ghosts, the first person she harmed wasn’t the Meng family madam.
It was her philandering and abusive husband.
She discreetly dealt with her husband’s entire family, let her son inherit his company, then directed the little ghosts to kill Madam Meng, and designed a meeting with Meng Lei when he was feeling empty and heartbroken, then entered as the charming flower…
Men always retain a special affection for ex-girlfriends and first loves.
In less than half a year, she succeeded.
At first, she also wanted to live well with Meng Lei, but she discovered that Meng Lei didn’t like her as much as she imagined, nor did he treat her son as his own as she imagined.
What he liked more was still the son born to his ex-wife.
Ruan Yu felt unwilling, and she didn’t need such a half-hearted man, so she wanted to repeat the old trick.
But she didn’t expect Nan Yuanman to appear halfway and capsize her in the gutter.
After hearing what the little ghost said, Ruan Yu knew the game was up, her face pale, her whole body limp as she sat in place, the pitiful expression she had feigned on her face slowly fading, revealing the hidden meanness and viciousness.
“This is all your fault.” Ruan Yu had cold sweat beading on her forehead, looking at Meng Lei who was struck as if by lightning, his mind blank: “If you had paid more attention to Cheng Yi, I wouldn’t have targeted you.”
“But even if you know it was me, so what?” A cheerful smile appeared on Ruan Yu’s face.: “Do you have evidence to prove it was me?”
She gradually calmed down, looking smugly and provocatively at Meng Lei and Meng Qinian: “No evidence, even if you call the police, the police can’t arrest me, anything you want to do to me would be a crime…”
“Slap—!”
Before she finished speaking, her cheek was fiercely slapped by Meng Qinian.
His eyes bloodshot, his whole body trembling as he pounced and tightly gripped Ruan Yu’s neck: “I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you—!”
Meng Lei hurriedly stepped forward to hug Meng Qinian and dragged him
Meng Qinian, whose mind was clouded by anger, heard the word “Perfection” and calmed down slightly. He gritted his teeth and pushed Meng Lei away: “It’s all your fault! It’s all your fault for letting the wolf into the house!”
“If it weren’t for you! Mother wouldn’t have died! It’s all your fault!”
Meng Lei took a solid punch, veins bulging on his forehead, gritting his teeth and glaring furiously at Ruan Yu: “……Ruan Yu, I will make you pay the price you should pay.”
Nan Yuanman, who had overheard a bit, raised her hand: “There’s evidence! There’s evidence!”
“The little ghost she raised can serve as a witness.”
Meng Qinian was full of excitement: “Is that possible?”
“Sure, I just don’t know if Police Uncle will believe it.” Nan Yuanman tilted her head slightly.
Meng Lei calmed down a bit and said, “Perfection, I’ll leave those two little ghosts with you for now. I’ll go ask if the authorities have any organization specialized in handling these cases, then hand her over to them.”
Nan Yuanman nodded. “Okay.”
She looked up at the sky. The sun had already set, so she hurriedly said, “Brother Qinian, Uncle Meng, I have something else to do, so I’ll leave first! You can come to the Jiang family to find me if needed!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly ran out. She still had to go back to see Zhang Shimian!
Meng Qinian wouldn’t even have time to send her off.
Meng Lei tiredly pinched his brow: “After handling the family matters, we’ll go properly thank that child.”
Meng Qinian kept a cold face and didn’t respond.
–
Nan Yuanman ran back to the Jiang family. Just as she was about to enter through the main gate, she almost collided with Jiang Lixuan, who was striding out.
She nimbly twisted her body, dodging the tragedy of landing flat on her butt.
Jiang Lixuan was also startled, followed immediately by anger. He grabbed the back collar of Nan Yuanman’s clothes with a cold face and demanded, “Where did you run off to? Do you know how frightening it is to leave without a word like that!”
Nan Yuanman was used to being carried by him, so she crossed her arms over her chest, slanted a glance at him, her voice soft but full of aggression: “What are you pretending for? Last night when you left me alone outside the villa, I didn’t see you get scared.”
Jiang Lixuan’s throat tightened, knowing he was in the wrong.
He let out a slightly guilty tsk, carefully set Nan Yuanman down, squatted in front of her, and sincerely apologized to her: “Yesterday… I was wrong. I shouldn’t have left you alone at the doorway. I should have accompanied you inside first.”
Nan Yuanman responded to kindness but not force. She never expected Jiang Lixuan to apologize. Her small face froze slightly, and she awkwardly scratched her cheek: “I also…”
Before she could finish speaking, she heard Jiang Lixuan say: “But yesterday you were also wrong. You hit Xin Xin’s head with the coffin first and made her forehead red. I got angry for a moment and acted that way.”
“Perfection, the Jiang family is not like the countryside. Xin Xin’s constitution is also weaker than yours. You can’t be so rough when getting along with her, and you can’t be too mischievous either.”
“By the way, you hit Xin Xin yesterday with your own hands. In a bit, when we go inside, you need to apologize properly to Xin Xin. As for uncle, he really shouldn’t have taken out his anger on you because of your mother’s matters. In the future, I’ll try my best to look after you. I also hope that for my sake, you can get along well with Xin Xin, okay?”
Nan Yuanman listened and listened, and the expression on her face gradually disappeared. Her heart inexplicably felt a bit uncomfortable.
She furrowed her brows and looked at Jiang Lixuan with particular confusion: “Why is it me who has to get along well with her, instead of telling her to get along well with me?”
“They don’t understand me. You clearly saw with your own eyes me exorcising ghosts. Can’t you tell whether I was hitting her or helping her?”
“Jiang Lixuan.” She didn’t call him uncle, but softened her voice and asked him: “In the past, did you also say these things to my mother?”
Nan Yuanman was precocious. When she had self-consciousness, she had once asked grandpa about mother’s matters.
Grandpa didn’t hide it from her and told her truthfully some things he had learned from Bai Wenyin.
She had always known that Bai Wenyin came from which Jiang family in S City. She also knew that the Jiang family now regarded this biological daughter Bai Wenyin as a disgrace and treated the fake eldest daughter who had taken her place as a treasure.
At first, she didn’t want to come back with Jiang Lixuan, and this was one of the reasons.
It was just that later… grandpa’s matter, plus she didn’t want mother to keep bearing sins that didn’t belong to her, so she decided to make a trip to the Jiang family.
So…
When mother returned to the Jiang family back then, had uncle also said these words to her?
Requiring herself, who had been abducted for sixteen years and had just returned home, to tolerate the fake younger sister who had occupied her sixteen years of life and enjoyed all the wealth and honor.
Jiang Lixuan’s pupils contracted sharply, and he looked at Nan Yuanman, speechless.
