The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 396:
CHAPTER 396: CHAPTER 396:
Jiang Weiwei felt extremely uncomfortable.
Every time the Jiang Family faced a crisis, Jiang Tairan would push her out to take the fall.
Thinking back to their behavior at Jiang Moxi’s wedding today, almost as if they were willing to kneel and lick Jiang Moxi’s feet, she really wanted to throw everything aside and fly far away.
But Jiang Weiwei also understood that with Jiang Moxi’s wedding now postponed, and the relationship between the Jiang Family and Suchen at a deadlock, this was a perfect opportunity for her.
If she could now help the Jiang Family weather this storm and secure the cooperation with THE ONE Group, they would never dare to underestimate her, Jiang Weiwei, again.
Even if Jiang Moxi could resume her previous relationship with Third Master Fu in the future, she could not replace Jiang Weiwei’s position in the hearts of the Jiang Family members.
So, even though she was reluctant at heart, Jiang Weiwei still responded with a smile.
"Grandpa, I will send a fruit basket to Aunt Suchen right away and sincerely apologize to her. I believe this matter will soon pass."
Jiang Weiwei’s answer was exactly what Jiang Tairan wanted to hear, so he praised her continuously.
"You are such a good child, grandpa hasn’t doted on you in vain all these years."
Half an hour later, Jiang Weiwei appeared at Suchen’s house with a large fruit basket.
When the maid welcomed Jiang Weiwei into the house, Suchen was still wearily leaning on the sofa.
Upon seeing this scene, Jiang Weiwei hurriedly approached with concern and asked, "Aunt Suchen, are you not feeling well?"
Suchen opened her eyes and saw Jiang Weiwei, somewhat surprised, "Weiwei? Why are you here?"
Although Suchen’s demeanor was as usual, Jiang Weiwei could still distinctly sense that Suchen’s enthusiasm toward her was not as warm as before.
It must be that Jiang Moxi had badmouthed her, Jiang Weiwei, in front of Suchen!
Jiang Weiwei felt a tightness in her heart, but in front of Suchen, she still had an innocent and bright face.
"I feel that my mom’s actions today were very excessive, so I came to apologize to you on her behalf."
As Jiang Weiwei spoke and saw Suchen trying to rise from the sofa, she quickly moved to support her.
But Suchen subtly avoided her hand.
Jiang Weiwei noticed this and her hand froze in mid-air.
"Aunt Suchen, did you start disliking me because of my mother?"
She asked Suchen with a hoarse voice.
Suchen didn’t answer, just frowning at her.
So Jiang Weiwei continued, "Aunt Suchen, as you know, I was adopted by the Jiang Family, and many times there are things I cannot control myself. If you are angry because my mother has treated Moxi badly, I will also persuade her in the future to treat Moxi better..."
Jiang Weiwei didn’t speak ill of Jiang Moxi or Yu Man, but rather, tried her best to distance herself from the Jiang Family and show her magnanimity.
However, her words were cut off by Suchen.
"Aren’t these things exactly what you should do? You are the foster daughter of the Jiang Family, and you have occupied Xixi’s happy childhood all by yourself. Now that she has finally returned to her biological parents, can you not continue to occupy the identity of the true daughter and the affection of the entire family?"
Initially, Suchen had felt quite sorry for Jiang Weiwei, especially on the day Yu Man slapped her – she truly felt compassion for Jiang Weiwei.
But when she learned that Jiang Moxi was the real daughter of the Jiang Family, and also discovered the years of mistreatment she had endured while Jiang Weiwei lived a life of luxury, Suchen simply couldn’t bring herself to like Jiang Weiwei anymore.
She always felt that this girl was duplicitous and had quite a scheming mind.
Jiang Weiwei thought that by distancing herself from the Jiang Family members and stirring Suchen’s pity, this matter would also come to an end soon.
Maybe if she continued to stay by Suchen’s side in the future, she could completely replace Jiang Moxi and become the foster daughter Suchen had in mind.
But the dream was shattered by Suchen’s words, "Isn’t this what you should be doing?"
So in Suchen’s eyes, she, Jiang Weiwei, was still inferior to Jiang Moxi, because she monopolized the happy childhood that belonged to Jiang Moxi, and for the rest of her life, she couldn’t hold her head up in front of Moxi?
Jiang Weiwei hated Suchen’s partiality towards Jiang Moxi, and hated even more that Moxi always got all the good things.
But Jiang Weiwei just grievously said: "If Aunt Suchen really thinks I owe Moxi, then when I go back, I will persuade my parents to let Moxi and me return to our respective places. As long as Aunt Suchen can calm down, I don’t mind doing whatever it takes."
Jiang Weiwei performed the drama of green tea and white lotus to perfection, hoping to make Suchen feel guilty or pity her.
But Suchen now always felt that Jiang Weiwei was a bit hypocritical, so she couldn’t feel any sympathy for her.
Hearing Jiang Weiwei say she would return to the destitute countryside to suffer, she just said: "That’s what you should do anyway, not for the sake of appeasing me."
Jiang Weiwei was so infuriated that she almost exploded, always feeling that if she continued to chat with Suchen today, she would lose control of her emotions and have a fallout with Suchen.
Therefore, Jiang Weiwei proposed to leave.
Suchen didn’t ask her to stay, only saying that she would have a servant send Jiang Weiwei off.
Jiang Weiwei felt that Suchen genuinely despised her, the kind that was hard to win back, and her heart started to panic.
Just as she was pondering what tactics to use to change Suchen’s view of her again, she heard Suchen receive a phone call.
"The test results are out?"
At first, Jiang Weiwei just felt a trace of inexplicable tension from Suchen’s tone!
But soon, that tension turned into excitement and secret joy.
"Xixi is really my daughter? Are you sure there is no mistake?"
"My God, this is really great! Louis, thank you so much. I will come over to get the DNA report right now! Lai De will definitely be ecstatic if he knows this news."
Suchen was almost running towards the door, almost not noticing that there was still a Jiang Weiwei in their living room.
And at this moment, Jiang Weiwei’s mind was buzzing.
Suchen’s conversation just now meant that she and Lai De’s daughter had been found.
This also meant that her dream of getting close to Suchen and being adopted by her was directly shattered.
And more importantly—
Xixi...
If Jiang Weiwei remembered correctly, Suchen and Lai De called Jiang Moxi exactly that.
So, Jiang Moxi was the biological daughter of Suchen and Lai De who had been missing for many years?
No...
That’s impossible, and it cannot be.
If Jiang Moxi is their child, would she, Jiang Weiwei, only ever be trampled under Moxi’s feet for the rest of her life?
Jiang Weiwei hurriedly chased after Suchen to their family garage and stood in front of Suchen’s car which was about to start.
"Aunt Suchen, I came here by taxi, could you give me a ride?"
Jiang Weiwei was still smiling, at first glance there seemed to be no difference.
But if you look closely, you would find her face now pale as death, her eyes concealing ferocity and bloodthirst, no different from a fierce ghost.
Suchen was in a hurry to go to the DNA center and didn’t look closely.
Besides, she remembered that the DNA center was indeed on the way to the Jiang Family’s place, so she let Jiang Weiwei get in the car...
