Jiang Nuan understood her mood and didn't say anything further, personally seeing her mother off.
Yu Meng got into the car, but the more she thought about it, the more something felt wrong.
Why was the girl named Jiang Nuan exactly the same name as that girl, and also looked so much like Jin Yan?
Yu Meng couldn't sit still any longer. She took out her phone and dialed Lu Qiaoyi's number.
"Godmother!"
"Yiyi! Have you had dinner?"
The events at the banquet had deeply hurt Yiyi. That damned Mu Jiuchen, how dare he scheme against Yiyi like that, it made her so angry she wanted to tear that man apart.
"Yes, Godmother. I'm resting at home." Lu Qiaoyi's tone was not good.
Yu Meng also knew she was feeling upset, so she didn't touch her sore spot. She knew Lu Qiaoyi's temperament best.
"By the way, Yiyi, I just met your mother and Jiang Nuan going out to dinner together. You know Jiang Nuan, right? You mentioned Jiang Nuan's name when you called me before."
Yu Meng asked in one breath, waiting for Lu Qiaoyi's reply.
Unexpectedly, a startled cry came from the other end: "What did you say? Jiang Nuan is going out to dinner with my mother?"
"Yes! I just parted ways with them. Yiyi, are you okay?" she asked caringly.
Lu Qiaoyi looked out at the quiet night scene. She was more than not okay; she wished she could kill Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen.
The humiliation these two had brought her, she would never forget in her lifetime.
"I'm fine, Godmother. I need to rest." Lu Qiaoyi had no interest in dealing with anyone. She was very agitated right now, so agitated that she didn't know what to do.
She just wanted to be alone quietly, not wanting to see anyone or do anything.
Now that her father was bedridden, with Lu Jin Yue leading the Lu family, it would never develop as well as when her father led the Lu Group.
Although her elder brother was very capable, he wasn't as steady or far-sighted as her father. No one knew how long the Lu family could support itself.
She also didn't know if her decision was right or wrong, but she had no turning back.
After lying like this for half an hour, Lu Qiaoyi felt a bit thirsty. She got out of bed to get some water and saw a car parked at the entrance, the same G-wagon Jiang Nuan had driven a couple of days ago!
Suddenly seeing her mother getting out of Jiang Nuan's car, she froze completely. The cup in her hand slipped from her grasp.
It fell onto the carpet with a light sound.
Jin Yan gently stroked Jiang Nuan's head. Seeing this scene, it stung Lu Qiaoyi's eyes. Such affection was meant only for her!
Or had her mother already found out something?
Lu Qiaoyi turned to look for her phone, fumbling through the quilt several times before finding it.
But she made two calls, and neither of them answered.
"What's going on? Why aren't they answering?" Lu Qiaoyi was very nervous. Seeing Jiang Nuan drive away, her sensitive heart relaxed slightly.
She rushed downstairs and saw Jin Yan entering with a happy smile on her face. The anger she had accumulated over this period instantly erupted.
"Mom, where did you go? I was set up, Dad is sick, why are you still smiling so happily?" Lu Qiaoyi questioned hysterically.
Their eyes met, and Jin Yan saw the fierce gaze in hers. Her heart trembled slightly. When a person becomes terrifying, even their gaze can make one's heart tremble.
Lu Qiaoyi was jealous that she went out to dinner with Jiang Nuan alone. Why?
Did they have something going on between them?
Seeing Lu Qiaoyi suddenly lose control, Jin Yan thought of Yu Meng, and her expression also turned grim.
"What? So what if you're both sick, do I have to stay by your bedside and cry for you?"
"Your father can't even get up now. I went to discuss your father's condition with Jiang Nuan. Isn't that me thinking for your father?" Jin Yan said, then went upstairs angrily.
Lu Qiaoyi was stunned. She turned and looked at her mother's angry back. She knew she had been too hasty.
In that moment, she felt as if her mother was being snatched away.
Ever since she learned she wasn't the Lu family's biological daughter, she had been completely collapsed. No matter where she was, she was thinking about who she was, why she was in the Lu family, and the Lu family's favorable conditions made it impossible for her to leave.
Lu Qiaoyi chased after her, apologizing proactively: "Mom, I'm sorry. I was too impulsive just now. Please don't be angry, okay?"
Jin Yan was just about to open the door when she heard her apology. She turned back to look at her with some surprise.
Seeing her teary eyes looking pitiful, in the past, she would have rushed to hug her and gently coax her.
But now, she really couldn't do it.
This child in front of her was someone she had doted on and raised with her own hands, but what she had done was outrageous.
Sometimes she even thought that even if she wasn't her biological daughter, if she found her biological daughter, she would treat both daughters equally well.
But she was wrong. There were too many desires, too many conflicts of interest. Even if she tried to be impartial like a bowl of water, it would be impossible to achieve.
"Go back and rest," Jin Yan said plainly, without much expression on her face. She turned and opened the door to go in.
Lu Qiaoyi stood there for a moment, stunned. She hadn't missed the indifferent expression on her mother's face.
She didn't know when it started, but her mother's gaze towards her had become so indifferent.
When Jiang Nuan returned home, Mu Jiuchen had already returned and was playing games with Xiao Jinli. Seeing Jiang Nuan return, he sent a message to Xiao Jinli.
[Your mother is back.]
Jiang Shaoqing, with his new game equipment, was no longer as clingy to his mother.
[Hurry up and go accompany Nuanbao.]
Mu Jiuchen smiled, put down his phone, and walked towards Jiang Nuan.
He embraced her and bit her ear possessively, leaving a faint red mark before slowly letting go.
Jiang Nuan's eyes were filled with anger. She asked unhappily, "What are you doing? Are you a dog? Biting people as soon as you come up?"
Mu Jiuchen took a sharp breath. This little girl's boldness was growing.
"This is your punishment for not accompanying me for dinner tonight!" Mu Jiuchen smiled at her, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Jiang Nuan sat down on the sofa, and he felt like handing her a cup of water.
Seeing only him in the living room, she asked, "Haven't Big Brother and the others returned yet?"
Mu Jiuchen also casually sat beside her. "They're back. After dinner, the three of them went out again, saying they had a lead."
"Did Jiang Muyan confess?" Jiang Nuan asked.
Mu Jiuchen shook his head slightly. "I don't know the specifics, but Jiang Muyan won't last long. You cut off the Jiang family's source of income, and your uncle Jiang Xian has hooked up with a big fish. Do you know who it is?"
He had received interesting news after returning today.
Jiang Nuan looked at him. When he smiled, he was very dazzling, especially when he was in a good mood, appearing even more gentle.
Jiang Nuan suddenly leaned into his embrace.
Mu Jiuchen was stunned for a moment, delighted by the little woman throwing herself into his arms.
He gently stroked her soft hair with his fingers and asked in a low voice, "Nuan Nuan, do you miss me?" The tail of his voice rose, seductively, and his fingers slowly traced Jiang Nuan's slender waist. Jiang Nuan's immediate reaction made him slowly curl his lips!
Ninth Master is very wicked!
Jiang Nuan's slender fingers drew circles in his embrace. "Who misses you? I just think, I have such a good boyfriend, do you?"
