The two looked at each other, curled their lips, and said nothing.
Zhao Menglou held her hand and brought it to him, with lingering fear:
"If I hadn't asked Su Mi, I wouldn't have known that you came here to vent my anger on my mother when I haven't been seen for the past two days. You didn't even say a word, which made me worried. You came to an unfamiliar place alone. What if that Wu Yao...
What should I do if a pity dog jumps over the wall and attacks you? If anything happens in the future, please tell me first!"
"Don't you know what I do? This isn't the first time this has happened. Besides, I'm not alone. This time I brought Mr. Huo's bodyguard with me. What's there to worry about?"
Jiang Qiaoyue stood on tiptoe and touched his hair: "So, after you find out, why don't you just run over and settle the score with Wu Yaolian?"
He nodded and let her rub his hair:
"Even if I hadn't come here to find you, I would have already planned to settle a score with this mistress."
"After I heard my mother mention this incident that day, I asked someone to check the receipt of my father's transfer after breaking up with her, hoping to punish her through this."
"This investigation really revealed something. When my father transferred money to her, he hid it from his mother. He was afraid that her mother would be angry when she found out that the woman who gave her the money would be angry or chase her back, so he marked it on the transfer note.
A loan for a client's business, so even if my mother discovers the money, she won't pay much attention to it."
Jiang Qiaoyue was relieved and looked at the direction of the barber shop again:
"This Wu Yaolian has finally received the end he deserves."
More than three million yuan is enough for her to sell shops and houses.
After twenty years of good life, once I return to my original shape, I am afraid it will be difficult to turn over.
In addition to losing her money and losing her reputation, in a small place like Rong County, with her experience and background, she is afraid that she will be talked about by the neighbors for the rest of her life.
The most important thing is that the family may be broken up, and even if Lao Pang doesn't divorce her, he may never be able to look at this wife again in the future.
…………
It was already late at night after the two of them and their bodyguards caught the evening flight back to Tancheng.
The bodyguard sent the two people back to the hotel where Zhao's mother and son were staying, and then returned to Huayuan to report to Huo Shenxiu.
Jiang Qiaoyue stood at the door of the hotel, hesitating: "It's too late, I won't disturb you. You go in first."
How could Zhao Menglou not know what she was thinking, so he pulled her hand in and said, "No matter how late it is today, Mom probably won't sleep yet."
He pulled her upstairs. As soon as he got out of the elevator, the Zhao family's bodyguards outside the suite saw him coming back with Miss Jiang and greeted him:
"Fourth Young Master, you are back."
He glanced at the door: "Mom hasn't rested yet."
The bodyguard shook his head: "...I received the video you sent before, and I was always a little excited. I have calmed down a little now."
He led Jiang Qiaoyue in.
Sure enough, Li Wenxin was sitting under a fixed lamp in the living room, her heart was still a little ups and downs, and she couldn't calm down.
When he saw the two people coming back, he took a steady breath and looked at them.
Zhao Menglou broke the silence and comforted: "Mom, have you watched the video? The woman named Wu has already apologized to you. Also, she will spit out my family's money and her reputation will be ruined. I'm afraid she won't be able to stay in her hometown anymore.
Are you happy now that you've vented your anger..."
Li Wenxin looked at Jiang Qiaoyue coldly: "Why didn't you tell me when you went to find that woman?"
Seeing her reaction, Zhao Menglou was afraid that she would blame Jiang Qiaoyue, so he took two steps forward and stood in front of Jiang Qiaoyue:
"Qiaoqiao also has good intentions..."
Li Wenxin still stared at Jiang Qiaoyue behind her son: "Are you pitying me, or do you want to curry favor with me?"
Jiang Qiaoyue pushed Zhao Menglou aside and said calmly:
"It's not pity, nor is it flattery. As a woman, I can't stand the hurt you have suffered. But I would also like to advise Mrs. Zhao that the best way to resolve the knot is not to take revenge, but to let yourself go. We can do it for
You vent your anger, but the one who can truly redeem you is yourself. Why use other people's faults to punish yourself? Stop immersing yourself in painful memories. Life is short."
Li Wenxin's face became increasingly red, she lowered her head weakly, and her eyes became moist.
Zhao Menglou was afraid that his mother would be angry, so he hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Mom, Qiaoqiao really went there for your own good..."
Li Wenxin raised her head sharply and interrupted with a low voice: "Making decisions without permission means making decisions without permission. Don't use these excuses to excuse yourself!"
He quickly stood up and walked towards Jiang Qiaoyue.
Zhao Menglou's heart skipped a beat and he protected Jiang Qiaoyue.
However, Jiang Qiaoyue did not dodge at all. She met Li Wenxin's gaze with neither humility nor arrogance, as if she was listening to the wind and rain.
Li Wenxin pulled her son away.
"Mom..." Zhao Menglou was trying to force Li Wenxin away when he heard her softly say:
Li Wenxin went back to the sofa and sat down. Every tense muscle on her face relaxed. Her voice was a little tired, but much gentler:
"Since we are going to frequent each other in the future, don't let the wife go before the wife. Just call me aunt like Mimi."
Zhao Menglou once again thought that he was hallucinating, so he woke up and agreed on behalf of Jiang Qiaoyue:
"Mom, you too, just call her Qiaoqiao from now on."
**
Su Mi was relieved to learn that Li Wenxin accepted Jiang Qiaoyue.
Three days later, Li Wenxin left Tancheng and returned to Jingzhou.
Before going back, I reopened my son's bank card.
Zhao Menglou wanted to spend more time with Jiang Qiaoyue in Tancheng, so he stayed.
There is even an intention to open a branch of a law firm here in Tancheng and move business here.
Li Wenxin said nothing more.
When she was young, her husband cheated on her with his mistress, and she lost a son and a daughter. This was a hurdle that she never got over.
Now, the knot in her heart has been untangled, her anger has dissipated, those who have hurt her have received their due end, and she has less resentment.
Especially towards Jiang Qiaoyue, the person who helped her overcome this hurdle, her attitude changed drastically.
Even before leaving, he gave Jiang Qiaoyue a small jewelry that he had worn for a long time.
It can be seen that he has basically recognized her.
On the day Li Wenxin left, Zhao Menglou and Jiang Qiaoyue went to the airport to see them off and then turned back to Huayuan to see Huo Shenxiu and Su Mi.
Seeing the two of them holding hands and appearing sweetly in front of her eyes, Su Mi took another look at Aunt Li's necklace on Sister Qiaoqiao's neck, and knew that she didn't have much to ask.
This pair is considered stable.
The four of them, plus Xiao Subao, had dinner in Huayuan and sat in the living room chatting for a while. It was getting late.
Su Mi asked Sister He to take Xiao Subao back to the room first, and then Xiao Subao waved her little paws at Jiang Qiaoyue and Zhao Menglou:
"Aunt Qiaoqiao, Uncle Menglou, I will go to bed first, and all the ministers will retreat later."
Jiang Qiaoyue was drinking a drink and almost spit out a mouthful.
