Gu Mingzhu stared intently at the house, even though the door was open, she couldn’t control her thoughts, wondering what exactly Jiang Jing had said to Zhao Xiu?
If Jiang Jing really knew it was Zhao Xiu who saved him, what would Jiang Jing do?
Jiang Jing was talented and excellent, also very gracious, capable of managing the factory in an orderly manner. He was very smart and compassionate, almost every week, when he had time, he would visit the orphanage to see the children, and he would bring a lot of things every time.
These were his strengths, but at the same time, they were also his weaknesses. He was too kind and not suited for the business world. Sometimes, Jiang Jing was unwilling to use the necessary means and even strongly disliked them.
Gu Mingzhu, to make Jiang Jing like her, had to force herself to be as compassionate to the children as he was. Yet, those children looked so filthy, she really couldn’t understand why Jiang Jing insisted on being with them.
Such a kind-hearted Jiang Jing, knowing that the lifesaver was Zhao Xiu and not her, would certainly feel very guilty and want to make every effort to compensate Zhao Xiu. If Zhao Xiu asked for any conditions, Jiang Jing would definitely agree.
After who knows how long, Jiang Jing and Zhao Xiu came out. Zhao Xiu was no longer as cold and distant as before. Jiang Jing seemed to be earnestly promising something to Zhao Xiu.
Gu Mingzhu stared blankly at the Zhao Family’s doorway, her fingernails digging into her flesh without her realizing it.
It wasn’t until Jiang Jing left that Gu Mingzhu got out of the car. The scorching sun couldn’t dispel the chill in her heart. Get full chapters from 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝓷𝓮𝓽
"Gu Mingzhu?" Zhao Xiu, her mind in chaos, wondering whether to believe Jiang Jing or not, suddenly saw the heavily pregnant Gu Mingzhu approaching.
Three years had passed, yet even with her big belly, Gu Mingzhu still carried the air of a young lady as she did back then. She always looked down on others with her nose, as if even talking to her was a favor.
"What, after three years, couldn’t you find anyone because you have a crippled leg and now you’re targeting Jing Ge?" Gu Mingzhu’s words were unlike the gentleness she showed when speaking with Jiang Jing; every word was piercing, coldly mocking.
"Gu Mingzhu, if you can’t control the man in your own house, that’s your own incompetence, don’t blame me!"
Zhao Xiu, enraged, shouted back. Over the past three years, she’d endured odd looks from others, drastically changing her personality. Especially when relatives introduced her to some ridiculous matches, she’d become defiant, directly retorting back.
In the factory, with many female workers, some of whom were particularly adept at arguing, Zhao Xiu had learned somewhat how to be like them.
Gu Mingzhu’s eyes instantly turned as sharp as knives, wishing to stab Zhao Xiu. Compared to the timid Zhao Xiu from three years ago, the Zhao Xiu now seemed like a shrew.
"Jing Ge and I are about to become parents soon, surely you aren’t trying to be one of those shameless people wanting to tear our family apart, are you?"
Gu Mingzhu’s hand gently rested on her belly, feeling the baby move inside, she thought: No one would destroy her happiness.
"Name your price, how much to leave Jing Ge?" Gu Mingzhu rummaged through the money in her purse. She usually carried only a few hundred bucks, since her clutch wasn’t big enough to hold much money.
"Three thousand? Five thousand? Leave South City, and never appear in front of us again."
