Chapter 352: The Angry Li Mei
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Zheng Wen went out to play cards, she spouted nonsense everywhere. Naturally, she received a lot of preferential treatment. They all thought that Zheng Wen was about to have a daughter-in-law from an illustrious family and had to curry favor with her.
When they got home, Zheng Wen said smugly, “That vixen’s calculations are useless. My daughter-in-law comes from the best family.”
After saying that, she called the jeweler and said, “I want to customize an Ocean Blue Treasure necklace for my daughter-in-law. If you have anything good, send it over.”
Zheng Wen had always been stingy with others. Back then, when Tan Si gave birth, she had only bought some diamonds. Furthermore, they were all finished products from jewelry shops and could not be passed down as family heirlooms.
This time, she was willing to spend a lot of money to customize jewelry to make Jiang An happy. As long as she was happy, she could return to Si Cheng’s side as soon as possible.
When the time came, as long as the two of them remarried, she could get the jewelry back. Anyway, she was her mother-in-law, so she had to be filial to her.
Just as Zheng Wen was dreaming, Li Mei, who was far away in Xiyun, found out about this. Recently, many people had started to ask about An’an’s relationship situation. She sensed that something was wrong.
Before she could get someone to investigate, Second Brother’s wife, Yu Feng, came to the door. She sat down and asked, “Sister-in-law, everyone outside said that An’an is going to remarry Si Cheng. Is this true?”
Li Mei’s eyes widened. “Who’s spreading lies? An’an has nothing to do with Si Cheng anymore. She just returned home after filming and didn’t mention such a thing at all.”
Yu Feng actually did not want to believe it either. In her opinion, Si Cheng was not a good person. Back then, he cheated on her and had an illegitimate child. It could be seen that he was not sincere to An’an at all.
Even though it was later proven that the child was not his, the news reports about him and Tan Si dating were all there. He must have cheated.
Such a person was not worthy of An’an. She also believed that An’an would not fall for him blindly.
Yu Feng sighed. “But what others say must come from somewhere. They even said that it was Si Cheng’s mother, Zheng Wen, who said that she wanted to customize a necklace for her daughter-in-law from a jeweler.”
Li Mei smiled. “Then it must be for Miss Bai. Si Cheng and Bai Ting are already engaged.”
“That’s not for Bai Ting. Zheng Wen personally said in front of the jeweler that it’s for her daughter-in-law, Jiang An. She also wants to customize other jewelry for the two children.” Yu Feng told her what she had heard.
This time, Li Mei couldn’t accept it. She suddenly stood up and said, “What nonsense is she talking about? An’an already has her own life now. Why is their family still sticking to her? Our Jiang family doesn’t care about jewelry. If An’an wants any I can get it for her, we don’t need her to give us anything!”
In Li Mei’s opinion, none of the Si family members were good people. When she was accompanying An’an during her confinement in Sea City, none of them came to visit An’an.
Even when they came later, they mocked and ridiculed An’an and the children. Now that An’an was home, they were starting to regret it. It was simply a daydream to want An’an to go back.
They could do such a thing because they valued An’an’s background and not her. They were all despicable people who curry favor with the rich and powerful.
Yu Feng also scolded, “The whole family is not good people. They want An’an to go back, but they’re not here to apologize. Instead, they’re spouting nonsense outside. Do they think that just a few words will make it true?”
Li Mei knew how powerful rumors were. Moreover, An’an and Si Cheng had indeed been married before. As long as such news was spread, people would believe it unless An’an had fallen in love with someone else.
At the thought of this, she quickly picked up the phone. Yu Feng asked, “Sister-in-law, what are you doing?”
Li Mei said, “Since they want to use public opinion to force An’an to submit, I’ll make the public opinion more intense.”
She called Jiang Zhen to explain the situation, wanting him to admit that he was with An’an. This way, Si Cheng would not be able to pester An’an anymore.
If it was in the past, Jiang Zhen would not hesitate to do so. However, now that he knew that An’an liked Zou Bai, he hesitated for a moment and said, “Have you asked An’an about her thoughts?”
Only then did Li Mei realize that she had not told her daughter yet. However, she felt that her daughter still had a good impression of Jiang Zhen. Moreover, this was only an excuse to the outside world. Even if she was unwilling to be together, she could say that they had separated. It was very normal for a man and woman to fall in and out of love. It was not a life-threatening matter.
Jiang Zhen sighed and said, “You should ask An’an how to resolve it first. We might do something wrong if we act on our own..”
