Si Fan’s cold gaze didn’t change at all, but she understood inwardly. So, the crazy woman in front of him was the mother of the original host’s fiancé??

Ha…

She was even more disdainful!

When Madam Jiang and the others heard how Jiang Qin addressed the girl beside her, their eyes instantly widened.

What?!

The pretty girl in front of them was actually the Si Fan who wore ugly glasses every day?!

Wasn’t the difference too great?!

Madam Jiang didn’t want to believe it, but seeing how Si Fan was obviously defending Jiang Qin, she had no choice but to believe it.

She frowned. So what if Si Fan was beautiful?

She was such a rude and uneducated woman. If her son married her, wouldn’t she torture her mother-in-law to death?!

Most importantly, she did not want her son to marry a useless woman!

No matter how beautiful she was, she was just a vase without any real talent.

She was not even as outstanding as Si Ya’s finger!

Madam Jiang thought about it and started to despise Si Fan again. “Si Fan, you don’t even know me and you still want to be my daughter-in-law?! I think you’re daydreaming and fantasizing!”

When Jiang Qin heard Madam Jiang belittling Si Fan, no matter how weak she was, she had to be tough for Si Fan.

As a mother, she was tough. It didn’t matter how Madam Jiang belittled her, but she couldn’t belittle her daughter!

She retorted firmly, “Madam Jiang, what’s wrong with my daughter? She didn’t even despise your son for being a playboy. How can you have the cheek to despise my daughter?”

Madam Jiang was furious. Jiang Qin actually had the cheek to argue with her?!

Look at her status!

“So what if my son is a playboy? He’s still thousands of times more noble than your daughter. Do you really think that your daughter is the real daughter of the Si Family just because you married into the Si Family?! Bullsh*t, she’s just a burden that you brought into the Si Family! A burden that doesn’t even have a biological father!”

“And you, do you think you’re noble just because you married into the Si Family? You’re a twice-married woman who was abandoned by a man. He even left a son and a daughter for you to raise. If President Si hadn’t been kind enough to marry you and take you in, you wouldn’t even know where to beg for a living!”

“Y-you!”

Jiang Qin blushed.

Madam Jiang’s words revealed the scar that Jiang Qin had hidden in her heart.

Jiang Qin had once married a man. That man was a taxi driver and his salary was not very stable. His average salary was about 7,000 to 8,000 yuan a month.

Jiang Qin also had her own job, which was about 5,000 yuan a month.

Their monthly salary added up to more than 10,000 yuan.

Other than the various living expenses, there was not much they could save every month.

At that time, they still had to save money to buy a car and a house. Their life was quite tough.

Although their days were tough, they were fulfilling.

However, this fulfilling life was completely shattered when Si Yi was diagnosed with congenital heart disease when he was five years old.

When the man found out that Si Yi’s illness would cost an astronomical amount of medical fees, he abandoned her and her two children and disappeared from her world without a word.

She and the two children searched for him for a long time but they could not find him.

Later on, she could only give up looking for him and work hard to borrow money and earn money because Si Yi’s heart disease gradually worsened and he needed to be hospitalized. She lived in darkness every day.

In the end, she had no choice but to borrow money from loan sharks.

In the end, she agreed to donate her kidney to Si Ya before Si Mingyuan agreed to help her repay the loan sharks.

She overheard Si Mingyuan’s conversation with the doctor in the past. He said that even after Si Ya’s surgery was successful, her uremia might relapse. If it did, she might need another kidney.

The only suitable kidney source was her.

That was why Si Mingyuan married her.

On the surface, he said that he wanted her to live the life of a well-to-do Mrs. Si, but in reality, it was just to tie her up tightly and prevent her, a walking kidney source, from leaving.

However, she had no choice but to agree to Si Mingyuan at that time. She signed a prenuptial agreement and became his wife.

Outsiders thought that Si Mingyuan had helped her family and was their benefactor.

Little did they know that Si Mingyuan only treated her as a vessel.

If Si Ya’s uremia relapsed, Si Mingyuan would definitely ask her to donate her kidney to Si Ya without hesitation!

Jiang Qin recalled her terrible experiences and her heart ached uncontrollably.

When Madam Jiang saw Jiang Qin’s pale face, she felt inexplicably happy and smiled.

“Jiang Qin, if you know what’s good for you, take your daughter to the Jiang family to break off the engagement. You’re not worthy of my Jiang family!”

As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle voice spoke up.

“Who is not worthy of your Jiang family?”

Madam Jiang was stunned when she heard this. She looked over and saw Murong Xiang slowly walking towards them.

Dressed in a simple and elegant white dress, Murong Xiang looked elegant and sophisticated.

The meanness on Madam Jiang’s face instantly disappeared and she smiled faintly. “Madam Jun, it’s nothing. I’m just reprimanding a person who wants to be a toad and wants to eat swan meat1.”

“Oh? Who?” Murong Xiang asked, but she couldn’t help but size up Si Fan and Jiang Qin.

She had been searching for a long time but did not see Si Fan. So, Si Fan had come over here.

Si Fan noticed Murong Xiang’s gaze and recognized her as the woman in the cheongsam she bumped into two days ago. She nodded politely.

The smile on Murong Xiang’s face widened.

She actually met this young lady again. What did this mean?!

This meant that they were fated to be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!

Fate was something that could only be chanced upon by luck. She had to grasp it well.

Madam Jiang had no idea what Murong Xiang was thinking. Seeing that Murong Xiang was staring at Si Fan, she said, “It’s the two people you’re looking at. Both mother and daughter are very scheming. Mother hooked up with the Si Family and became Madam Si. Her daughter is even more scheming. She even wants to cling to my Jiang family and be my son’s fiancée. She doesn’t even consider if she’s worthy!”

Murong Xiang heard it clearly and was stunned. “What?? Your son’s fiancée?!”

Although Madam Jiang didn’t want to admit it, everyone present knew about it. Hence, she nodded reluctantly.

After a pause, she couldn’t help but add, “However, I don’t know if she would successfully marry my son in the end.”

Murong Xiang loved hearing that. “You’re right. After all, no one knows what will happen in the future. Some people are just not fated. There will be no outcome to tie them together.”

Madam Jiang thought that Murong Xiang agreed with her and couldn’t help but smile. “Madam Jun, thank you for your blessings.”

Murong Xiang’s smile widened. “Of course, of course. I wish you all the best.”

Jiang Qin couldn’t take it anymore. “Excuse me, Madam Jiang. My daughter and I are going to pick out some shoes!”

She grabbed Si Fan’s hand and wanted to leave.

Madam Jiang had just got the upper-hand. How could she let Jiang Qin leave so easily? “Stop right there. Did you hear what I said just now? If you know what’s good for you, take your daughter to the Jiang family to break off the engagement!”

Jiang Qin frowned. If not for Si Mingyuan’s coercion, who would have let their daughter marry such a playboy??

She couldn’t wait for her daughter to get a good boyfriend. It didn’t matter if he was poor. At least they would be compatible.

Her daughter would not be easily looked down upon.

But before she could say anything, Si Fan said calmly, “Call off the engagement then.”
