Chapter 377: Pain of the Past
When Uncle Jiang thought about this, he wished that he could go straight to those people and fight them to death. However, they were too weak now to go up against such power. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be in today’s state. Seeing that Jiang Xiaoman was so sad, he said angrily,
“Master, you can’t blame yourself for this. We can only blame that man for hiding his ident.i.ty and deceiving you. And that woman for deliberately getting close to you and pretended to be your best friend before she used despicable methods to s.n.a.t.c.h away that blind idiot.”
Jiang Xiaoman quickly stopped Uncle Jiang from saying more. Who could really explain everything back then? Also, everything was so far in the past. She looked at the token of love that man had given her back then on her wrist and said bitterly,
“Uncle Jiang, stop. That man is too powerful, and he’s not someone that you and I can insult. We could get into trouble for that. I was blind back then and couldn’t tell good from bad. I ended up here in order to save my life.”
Uncle Jiang sighed when he heard this. Jiang Xiaoman had suffered all these years pretending to be crazy and had to bear the pain of being separated from her children. These were all caused by those few individuals but they were in no position to fight back. He lamented,
!!
“Sigh, we thought that young miss could help us turn the tide, but she didn’t live up to your expectations. If young master is also so unbearable, Master, your life is too hard.”
Jiang Xiaoman shook her head. As a mother, how could she feel bitter protecting her children? If she hadn’t done that, they wouldn’t be able to grow up like they had. She patted Uncle Jiang’s shoulder and comforted,
“Uncle Jiang, I’m not bitter. I’m their mother, and it’s my duty to protect them. Even if I die, I will never let that woman hurt my children.”
Uncle Jiang wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes when he heard this. It was useless to say anything now. He had to think of a way to stop this black hole of Miss Su Jin’s as soon as possible. Otherwise, Miss Su Jin would be in deep trouble. It was not just a matter of money, her dignity would also be trampled on. He said helplessly,
“Master, now that Miss Su Jin has lost, how shall we deal with the compensation of tens of billions of yuan?”
Jiang Xiaoman shook her head helplessly when she heard this. She didn’t expect that she had misjudged Su Jin. She thought that her daughter had been playing dumb like her, but in the end, she was really dumb and ended up being last in cla.s.s. This could only mean that she had misjudged the person so Jiang Xiaoman said with a bitter smile,
“I miscalculated. There’s no other way. We’ll have to pay up!”
Uncle Jiang’s face was full of worry. It was not just a matter of money. After paying up the money, the Zhang family might not listen to Jiang Xiaoman anymore and might even take over her position. He said truthfully to Jiang Xiaoman,
“Master, if we paid up these tens of billions of yuan, some members of the Zhang family will use this as an excuse to shake our position. Previously, we had planned to give all our shares to the young master if we couldn’t defeat those people. But the young master is too immature now; he will just squander all the Jiang family’s a.s.sets.”
It was a pity that the young master had been pampered since young and could not tell good from evil. It’s unwise to let him take care of everything left behind by the Jiang family. He would only end up squandering everything. Moreover, there would be other dangers. Jiang Xiaoman felt very helpless when she heard these words. She replied plainly,
“Alright, let’s leave these a.s.sets in the hands of Zhang Youquan first. Zhang De will never become a qualified successor. Besides, I see Su Jin as the likely successor but I just don’t know if she would become a qualified successor.”
Jiang Xiaoman’s face turned even paler. Every time she thought about these things, she could hardly breathe and sometimes had the urge to end her life. However, for the sake of her children, she had to stay strong and live on. Looking at the time on the wall clock, she cautioned Uncle Jiang,
“Alright, Uncle Jiang, you should go. Su Beijiang is sending someone over.”
Uncle Jiang could only nod when he heard this before he left quietly. After all, the master was pretending to be stupid so she could hide here and avoid the threats to her life. Not long after Uncle Jiang left, Su Beijiang walked in with a few security guards and said with a smirk on his face,
“Man, I’m here to see you.”
