"That white lotus, Jiang Anqi, not only dug up the ginseng that originally belonged to her uncle’s family, but she also knew her uncle could encounter danger while hunting on the mountain, yet she didn’t even try to stop him!"
"Alright, even if she knew she couldn’t stop him. But when she clearly knew that her uncle got attacked by a blind bear and needed ginseng to save his life, she sold the whole ginseng for money, causing her uncle to die from his injuries! Without their son, the old couple from the Jiang Family blamed everything on his wife and daughter-in-law, and they drove them out of the Jiang Family."
"The poor mother and daughter had nowhere to go and no money, so they could only live in a ramshackle earthen house. The aunt, who had always been delicate, became strong and industrious for her daughter’s sake. But she was in poor health and had asthma, and caught a cold in the shabby earthen house during the deep winter. Without money for treatment, she just passed away."
"After Jiang Anqi got the news, she hypocritically sent money for the funeral, allowing the old couple to take her cousin back home. She thought that by doing this, she had atoned for the sins she committed, and the whole family happily moved to the town, enjoying the good life. But her cousin was treated harshly by the elders in the countryside, always doing the most and most tiring work while eating the worst food. Damn! That’s really heartless!"
Her best friend angrily recounted the story from the novel to her.
Jiang Mianmian thought about all this and was furious to the extreme. She even forgot to greet her parents and, driven by her rage, immediately turned around and ran back the way she came.
"Hey, girl, where are you going?" Su Wanyu saw her daughter running back suddenly without any explanation and quickly asked aloud.
Jiang Mianmian, without looking back, said, "Mom, I need to go and take a big one."
Jiang Changhai and Su Wanyu didn’t suspect anything when they saw how urgent Jiang Mianmian was and found a shady spot to sit and wait for their daughter to come back.
Only Yu Cheng sensed the sudden surge of anger from Jiang Mianmian. He frowned slightly, puzzled by her sudden anger.
But as he watched her retreating figure, full of indignation, he did not chase after her.
Since Jiang Mianmian chose not to discuss it with her parents and wanted to deal with it herself, he decided to respect her decision. If she couldn’t resolve it, he would help her then.
When Jiang Mianmian arrived at the Jiang Family, she shouted at Zhaodi, who was working outside, "Jiang Anqi."
Zhaodi instinctively looked back. In her previous life, when she went out to work, she felt that the name Zhaodi didn’t sound good, so she changed her name to Jiang Anqi.
A name she had been called for over twenty years had become ingrained in her, and without thinking, she turned around when she heard her name.
But when she saw it was Jiang Mianmian who had called her name, she was full of shock.
However, she quickly calmed down, knowing that Jiang Mianmian was about to confront her.
Jiang Mianmian stared straight at Zhaodi. Seeing her reaction, she confirmed that Zhaodi was indeed the white lotus female lead from that period novel, and her anger burned even hotter!
She couldn’t help but clench her fists, struggling to restrain the urge to beat her up, and said in an icy tone, "Follow me."
"Okay." Zhaodi thought Jiang Mianmian just wanted to settle things with her, and she nodded her head very calmly.
Zhaodi followed behind Jiang Mianmian, calculating in her heart. Since the other party had taken the initiative to settle things, she might as well take this opportunity to collaborate with her.
