Jiang Yue'er was unwilling to leave Beijing in the first place, but she never expected such a big surprise.
Didn't the Jiang family abandon her for the sake of a so-called marriage alliance?
Now look what's happened! They don't even look at her, this fake heiress. It's truly a blessing from heaven!
It's a pity that Jiang Mingzhu was too stupid and died before she could even start her mission. Otherwise, she really wanted to see Wen Li's pain after her man was taken away!
As Jiang Laosan stepped into the house, he saw the undisguised gloating on Jiang Yue'er's face, completely unaware of his father's pale face and hunched back.
He sighed silently in his heart. She was so selfish and only cared about herself. All these years of pampering her had been for nothing.
Jiang Laosan's footsteps broke the dull atmosphere.
"Well, what did Wen Zhiqing say to you?" The village chief looked at Jiang Laosan anxiously.
"It's nothing. Wen Zhiqing just wanted to talk to me about something else; it has nothing to do with Mingzhu!"
"That's good, that's good!" The village chief finally breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Jiang Mingzhu, "Mingzhu, you should go back to Beijing first. I'll have your older brother book your ticket!"
"No, I can't go back!" Jiang Mingzhu raised her swollen, red eyes, looking pitifully at the village chief and the two Jiang brothers. "Mom and Dad, brothers, don't you want me anymore?"
The village chief's eyes were full of heartache. How could he abandon his own daughter?
"Of course not, but what if you're still at home and Wen, the educated youth, reports it to the police?"
"She wouldn't dare!" Jiang Mingzhu said decisively.
She was indeed frightened at the time, but after she calmed down, she realized the key point.
"How can you be so sure she wouldn't dare?" Jiang Yue'er said sneer.
Jiang Mingzhu glared fiercely at Jiang Yue'er, then explained:
"Wen Zhiqing won't report it to the police. My engagement with Brother Lu was personally arranged by Uncle Lu. If she really reports it to the police, Uncle Lu will also be implicated. She hasn't even married into the Lu family yet, how dare she offend her future father-in-law?"
Jiang Lao Er had wanted to remind Jiang Mingzhu for a long time, but Jiang Mingzhu kept making a fuss after he came back. Now that he had a chance, he was finally able to speak up.
Do you know what Wen's background is?
Jiang Mingzhu glanced at An Xing with a hint of disdain. "What kind of background does she have? Isn't she just an ordinary college student?"
The Jiang family fell silent. Jiang Lao Er had already told everyone what Jiang Mingzhu and Lu Zechuan had said when Jiang Mingzhu ran out to find Wen Li.
They just hadn't had a chance to tell Jiang Mingzhu yet.
"Wen Zhiqing's father was a regimental commander, his grandfather was also a commander, and his brother is now a battalion commander. What do you think?"
Jiang Mingzhu's face turned pale. Thinking of the disparaging things she had said about Wen Li, she instantly felt like a clown.
Didn't Aunt Shen say that Wen Li was just an ordinary educated youth?
How come Wen Li's family is also in the military? And their titles are even higher than her adoptive father's!
Was she scammed?
"How could that be? Didn't Aunt Shen say..."
After listening to the whole story, Jiang Lao Er sighed. "You know she's a stepmother? How could she possibly want Comrade Lu to have a good life?"
Jiang Lao Er speculated that the reason the Lu family wanted to ruin Wen Li and Lu Zechuan's relationship was because the stepmother couldn't stand her stepson having an easy time, so she approached her own sister.
Jiang Lao Er's idea was somewhat accidental, but the reality was even worse.
"Second Brother, do you mean Aunt Shen wants to use me to humiliate Brother Lu?"
Jiang Mingzhu was stunned after she finished speaking.
Not only was she a fake heiress, but she was also jilted at the altar. She had originally been engaged to Lu Zechuan.
Later, when Liu Mei saw that Lu Zechuan was not valued and the Su family was involved in another uproar, the Jiang family thought that Lu Zechuan was finished and simply broke off the engagement.
She had a vague suspicion that Shen Ju harbored ill intentions.
But Shen Ju dispelled her doubts with just a few words.
Looking back now, nothing about it seems right.
No! Shen Ju didn't want to humiliate Lu Zechuan; she wanted to ruin him!
Shen Ju must have known about Wen Li's background long ago. She had also heard about Lu Zechuan being abused. Although there was no evidence, rumors had been circulating.
Shen Ju, as a stepmother, could not possibly allow Lu Zechuan to marry a wife who would be of help to him.
No wonder she took the initiative to come to the Jiang family after her engagement was broken off!
Jiang Mingzhu grew up in the Jiang family, a place rife with intrigue and backstabbing. How could she possibly be a fool?
The intricacies were quickly clarified.
After thinking it through, she felt a chill run down her spine. If she really did get together with Lu Zechuan, he would also be punished for his conduct.
If Wen Li's family finds out, they might also target Lu Zechuan to get revenge for her, and then Lu Zechuan's life would be ruined!
How could she be willing to marry an ordinary person?
The villagers' faces darkened. How could marrying his daughter be considered a disgrace?
"Mingzhu, don't think so much. This isn't a good thing anyway. You should go back to Beijing first!"
"No, Dad, I've become the laughingstock of the compound. If I don't win over Lu Zechuan, they'll just find some random old man to marry me off when I get back!"
Jiang Mingzhu was in a state of confusion; she was now caught in a dilemma.
Staying in the village means having absolutely no connection with Beijing.
She had no idea what she would face upon returning!
"What? Your adoptive parents actually treated you like this?"
Liu Guixiang's shrill voice hurt Jiang Yue'er's eardrums. She had originally wanted to leave Jiang Mingzhu in the village, but now she thought it was better to go back.
It would be best to marry her off to an older man; then things would get interesting.
"Mingzhu, my parents raised you for nineteen years, how could they treat you like this? How could you think such a terrible thing about them!"
Jiang Mingzhu saw the gloating in Jiang Yue'er's eyes, her own eyes turned red, and she roared at Jiang Yue'er with a face full of resentment:
"It's all your fault! If you hadn't gone to acknowledge my relatives, how could I have been jilted? How could they have treated me like this?"
The family members all looked rather grim, and felt a chill in their hearts.
Jiang Yue'er was spoiled by them since she was a child, and they never mistreated her.
Even knowing she wasn't his biological daughter, his attitude never changed.
But Jiang Yue'er so blatantly took advantage of their daughter's (younger sister's) misfortune.
How could this not chill their hearts?
Jiang Yue'er seemed to realize that something was wrong with everyone, and that's when she realized she had said the wrong thing.
"Mom and Dad, that's not what I meant. I'm not your biological child either, but even though you know the truth, you're still very good to me. I don't think my biological parents would do such a thing!"
Her explanation made the Jiang family feel much better.
"Sister, I'm sorry, I just wanted to meet my biological parents. I really didn't expect you to be jilted!"
Jiang Yue'er looked at everyone with a wronged expression, and her eyes quickly reddened.
The village chief sighed. Jiang Yue'er wasn't wrong in this matter. Anyone who knows the whereabouts of their biological parents would want to go and see them.
"Mingzhu, your being jilted has nothing to do with Yue'er. It's because that family has bad character. It's a good thing you didn't marry into their family, otherwise you might have been tormented in the future!"
