CHAPTER 309: CHAPTER 309: ARE YOU WILLING?

With these thoughts, Ming Lan directly opened her mouth and said, "You ungrateful wretch, I wasted my life raising you. If I had known you’d turn out like this, I shouldn’t have given birth to you. Or if I did, I should have gotten rid of you."

"Get rid of me? Would you dare?" Jiang Mingzhu looked at Ming Lan with disdain, not taking her seriously at all.

If not for her, would Ming Lan have such a high status in the Jiang Family?

Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to Ming Lan for having her, otherwise, the two elders of the Jiang Family would definitely not treat her as well as they do the third aunt. Thinking about her third aunt, Jiang Mingzhu’s eyes flickered.

The current third aunt was practically like a transparent person in the Jiang Family because she hadn’t given birth to a child, and was always disliked by the Jiang Family.

Of course, it wasn’t that she hadn’t been pregnant. It was just that she had miscarried. Even now, the third aunt doesn’t know someone tampered with her pregnancy and still believes she lost the baby because her health wasn’t good enough to carry it.

Because of this, she feels increasingly guilty and doesn’t dare to make a fuss in the Jiang Family. Also, because she has no children, she isn’t treated much worse than Ming Lan, the biological mother.

If the third aunt knew her child was lost because of her own doing, who knows if she would go mad.

Thinking of all the things she’s done over the years, Jiang Mingzhu’s eyes toward Ming Lan became increasingly hateful.

When she was a child, she wasn’t like this. She used to be kind, but as time went on, everything changed. And it was all because of Ming Lan, who taught her to be malicious, taught her to be selfish and self-serving.

So even if she was ungrateful, it was Ming Lan who taught her to be that way.

"You?" Ming Lan was furious, she couldn’t help but raise her hand. But before her hand could drop, it was directly caught by Jiang Mingzhu.

"Considering you’re my mother, I’ll let it go this time. But next time, if you try to hit me, don’t blame me for being rude."

"I know I’m your mother, but do you dare to treat me like this and not fear heavenly retribution?"

"If you’re not afraid, why should I be?" Jiang Mingzhu looked at Ming Lan indifferently and said coldly, "Don’t forget how many lives your hands are stained with."

"Jiang Mingzhu, you?" Ming Lan was shocked, staring dumbfounded at the daughter who had already changed into a different person, unable to speak for a long time.

"Mother, do you find me terrifying?" Jiang Mingzhu looked at Ming Lan with ridicule and said, "I was taught by you. Now that you see I’ve surpassed you, you should feel gratified."

After saying this, Jiang Mingzhu swiftly shook off Ming Lan’s hand and ignored her, thinking about how she could get out.

She couldn’t count on those people, since in all the days she had been locked up, only Ah Yong had come once and then never again.

Ming Lan certainly couldn’t be relied on now, as she couldn’t even protect herself.

Now, her only hope was in the Jiang Family, hoping they still had some pity for her. Otherwise, she’d really be stuck here forever.

The more Jiang Mingzhu thought, the more annoyed she became, finally venting her anger on Ming Lan again, cursing a few times, "Useless!"

After venting, Jiang Mingzhu also got tired and finally closed her eyes and stopped speaking. However, Ming Lan, looking at Jiang Mingzhu’s behavior, felt heartbroken.

If it were someone else treating her like this, it might still be bearable. But that was her daughter! Could it be true that good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished?

Did heaven give her such a daughter because it saw she had committed so many sins in this life?
