Madam Jiang knew Lin Jia’s importance better than Jiang Xing. Her husband had always been hindered in his business with the government because of Lin
Jia. No matter how he dealt with it, Lin Jia seemed to be impervious. Moreover, Lin Jia had control over many government resources in City A. Madam Jiang didn’t want to offend him.
‘Why? Don’t tell me you think she was poorly brought up too?” Jiang Xing turned to look at his mother in surprise. He felt that she wasn’t such an old-fashioned person.
“Of course not.” Madam Jiang shook her head and spoke her mind. “Yin Tao is much better than her mother. At the very least, she’s not that hypocritical. Moreover, in a sense, she’s quite brave. She’s somewhat similar to my personality when I was young.”
Madam Jiang didn’t have any prejudice against Yin Tao. Instead, she had a somewhat good impression of her.
“Then choose her as your daughter-in-law. In any case, it’s the same no matter who you choose. You might as well choose someone who is pleasing to the eye.” Jiang Xing didn’t dislike interacting with Yin Tao. Compared to her pretentious sister, Jiang Xing preferred Yin Tao’s straightforward personality.
“Silly boy, you have to see who you’re competing with.” Madam Jiang looked at her son helplessly. Jiang Xing was used to being arrogant. Other than partying and gallivanting, Jiang Xing didn’t seem to be good for anything.
“Do you mean that Lin Jia and Yin Tao are having an affair?” Jiang Xing’s tone was very frivolous, causing Madam Jiang to frown unhappily.
“Lin Jia should have a solid relationship with that girl for him to confront Zhao Yue.’
Hearing his mother’s words, it occurred to Jiang Xing that Lin Jia was obviously hostile towards him. It seemed that he was a little slow in reading the situation.
“That child can’t be theirs, right?” Jiang Xing thought of the little girl in Lin
Jia’s arms. That little girl looked quite cute and seemed to resemble Yin Tao. He complained angrily, ‘The Yin family can’t be that immoral, right?
Matchmaking me with a woman who has already had a child. They have a death wish, don’t they?”
Although Jiang Xing was a little interested in Yin Tao, it wasn’t to the extent that he didn’t care that she was already a mother. He wasn’t keen on becoming a stepfather.
“It’s not completely impossible, but that girl doesn ‘t look like she’s had children before.”
Jiang Xing looked at his mother in the rearview mirror and joked, “Are your eyes that sharp? You can tell if one has given birth or not?”
Madam Jiang glared at Jiang Xing and slowly said, “Kid, stop thinking too highly of yourself. There is a lot you need to learn. That girl just now doesn’t seem simple. The reason I don’t want you to interact with her is because I’m afraid you won’t be able to outwit her.’
Madam Jiang knew very well that Lin Jia’s shrewdness was on a completely different level from her silly son’s. For Lin Jia to be so protective of her, Yin Tao’s methods were probably not simple.
However, Jiang Xing wasn’t convinced. He didn’t believe that he would be so gullible as to be outwitted by a young girl in her early twenties.
“Mom, don’t look down on me. I’ve seen many innocent young girls like Yin Tao. As long as I don’t get real, no one can outwit me?”
However, Madam Jiang didn’t trust her son at all. She smiled and teased, “Forget it. She might only have to put on some makeup and a nice dress and you would fall for her.”
At this point, Madam Jiang suddenly recalled something her secretary had revealed to her previously and questioned Jiang Xing, “Weren’t you trying very hard to track down a girl a while ago? I heard that she’s a kept woman. Have you lost your mind?”
Jiang Xing knew that his secretary didn’t have tight lips. His mother controlled the purse strings, so while Jiang Xing may be dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do.
“Mom, can you stop looking at me? That girl schemed against me and I was only trying to track her down so as to get even with her.”
Madam Jiang looked at her son in front of her. He was still such a disappointment even though he was nearly thirty years old. “Even a kept woman can outwit you. You really should stay away from Yin Tao.”
Jiang Xing was indignant, but he didn’t dare to say it out loud. If his mother really asked, it would be difficult to explain the money he had lost. After all, she had once explicitly forbidden him to go to the casino, so Jiang Xing didn’t dare risk being discovered by her.
“Sigh, I’m just destined to not be on good terms with people named Xiaotao…” Just as Jiang Xing finished speaking, he suddenly braked and swerved to the side of the road.
“Brat, are you crazy!” Madam Jiang cursed unhappily after she was almost flung from her seat by the hard braking..
