She was both shocked and infuriated.
But Chiang Xiao’s move had made it impossible for her not to believe those ruthless plans she had just laid out.
Ji Desheng was her only hope and reliance in this lifetime, how could she possibly risk him?
Besides, Chiang Xiao’s current expression frightened her.
This Chiang Xiao, where was she like the Chiang Xiao from a year and a half ago?
Chiang Xiao gave her a glance, then added one more line, "You better remember that well."
Having said that, she clapped her hands and walked away.
Watching her receding figure, Liu Caiyun trembled with fear all over.
After Chiang Xiao returned, Ge Liutao looked behind her and asked, "Where’s Desheng’s mother?"
"We don’t welcome her at our home, I drove her away," Chiang Xiao replied.
Ge Liutao hesitated for a moment before asking, "Little, what did she say? What was she trying to say just now?"
Chiang Xiao’s gaze softened, and she walked over, hugging her arm, and said, "Grandma, Liu Caiyun, that kind of person, can’t say anything nice. Let me tell you, she’s coveting my grandpa."
"What?" Ge Liutao was greatly startled, her eyes wide as she looked at Chiang Xiao, completely unexpected of such a statement.
Chiang Xiao said, "Really, she knows that grandpa got a box of jewels back in the day." Chiang Xiao whispered to her, "Also, the people grandpa saved back then, like Grandpa Xue, couldn’t he readily help Chiang Yuequn go study in the provincial city? Liu Caiyun is thinking of paving the way for Ji Desheng."
"But, she can’t..." This matter was something Ge Liutao had never considered, and she found it incredible. Besides, coveting Chiang Songhai, what good would that do? He wasn’t without a spouse.
Chiang Xiao said, "Didn’t your heart used to be not very good, Grandma? That wicked woman wanted to concoct a piece of bad news about my mom to shock you, and if you couldn’t bear it and collapsed, wouldn’t she then have her chance?" Chiang Xiao said, "So, in the future, if she really says something to you about my mom, you must never believe her."
Chiang Xiao told Ge Liutao all this just in case.
It was time Ge Liutao knew some things.
Moreover, Chiang Xiao believed that Ge Liutao could be trusted to process this news.
After all, as far as she knew, Chiang Songhai was also sought after by others in the past, including Ge Liutao’s own aunt.
This was something Liu Caiyun mentioned before, and later she also gathered bits and pieces of information from Liu Pei and Ge Dejun.
Sure enough, Ge Liutao believed her words, sighed, and didn’t dwell on it anymore. Instead, she brought up Chiang Qingzhu, which was rare.
"Actually, your grandpa and I were mentally prepared, fearing that she might have been gone on the outside as well. Little, you shouldn’t be too sad."
"No, I don’t think she’s dead yet," Chiang Xiao said. "Even if she’s already dead, I won’t be too upset, because I still have all of you, right? I have no impression of my mom, but you and grandpa were the ones who raised me. I just hope you all are well, that’s when I’ll get sad."
What Chiang Xiao said was the truth.
She didn’t even know what Chiang Qingzhu looked like, or have any memory of such a person ever being in her life.
To expect her to have any feelings towards Chiang Qingzhu?
That woman had only given her life, but they say a mother’s strength is powerful—Chiang Qingzhu had not achieved that, not offering a bit of a mother’s warmth and protection. In her previous life, her debt was probably considered repaid.
