Ch 92: A-Ci, Let’s Go Home
The call was from Lan Yi.
It was an unfamiliar number.
Opening her mouth, she questioned: “Jiang Zao, did you blacklist my number?”
Jiang Zao didn’t deny it: “Yes, I’ve already severed ties with the Xia Family. From now on, we’re strangers. What’s the point of keeping in touch?”
Lan Yi didn’t argue with her, directly giving an order: “Come home.”
Jiang Zao chuckled: “Home? Which home? Do you think the house you live in is my home?”
A place where you’re living under someone else’s roof can never be called home.
Lan Yi didn’t care about that: “Anyway, you come over here right now. I’m your mother, are you not even going to listen to me? Your wings have hardened now, you’ve climbed onto the Fu Family, so you don’t even care about your own mother anymore, is that it? Aren’t you afraid people outside will point fingers at you, implicating the Fu Family’s reputation?”
Her words were both soft and hard, even using threats.
This was Jiang Zao’s own mother.
“Okay.” Jiang Zao agreed, “I’ll go over now.”
Some things should be resolved face-to-face. She didn’t want to be harassed by the Xia Family every now and then in the future.
She had enough of this kind of repayment of kindness.
“Wife, let’s go buy shoes first.” Fu Yanci suppressed his anger towards the Xia Family and Lan Yi, reminding Jiang Zao.
The driver took them to the commercial street.
Jiang Zao didn’t have any shoes to wear, so she didn’t get out of the car. She thought that if the shoes Fu Yanci bought didn’t fit, she would take them back to exchange them. But she didn’t expect that not only did the style match her aesthetic and go well with the clothes she was wearing today, but the size was also just right, and they were very comfortable to wear.
“A-Ci is so amazing, great job.” Jiang Zao pinched Fu Yanci’s face.
Children should be praised more.
If it were the former Fu Yanci, who would dare to pinch his face like this? It would be good enough if they weren’t kicked away.
But now, he was used to Jiang Zao touching him, and would even subconsciously bring his face closer for Jiang Zao to pinch.
After getting in the car, they went directly to the Xia Family’s house.
“A-Ci, you stay in the car.” Jiang Zao didn’t let him get out.
She knew the Xia Family’s character too well. It was possible that they would indiscriminately attack A-Ci and take advantage of A-Ci’s kindness.
So, for safety’s sake, she left Fu Yanci in the car and had the driver, Little Zhao, accompany him.
Entering the Xia Family’s door, Lan Yi was sitting on the sofa.
She hadn’t even started showing yet, but she was already wearing maternity clothes.
Various supplements and fruits that pregnant women should eat were placed on the coffee table.
It was as if she was afraid others wouldn’t know she had one in her belly.
“I’m here, just say what you need to say.” Jiang Zao didn’t plan to go in, and just stood at the entrance, looking towards the living room.
Xia Yunqian came down from upstairs, a rare look of kindness on his face towards Jiang Zao, and greeted her with a smile.
This was a first in nearly twenty years.
“Zao Zao is back? Quickly change your shoes and come in, why are you being so polite when you’re home?” Xia Yunqian signaled the servant to help Jiang Zao change her shoes.
Jiang Zao refused, “General Xia, let’s get straight to the point. There’s no need to beat around the bush. My husband is still waiting for me outside, and my mother-in-law is also waiting for us to go home for dinner.”
Lan Yi got up, but before she could walk over, Xia Yunqian quickly went over to support her, cherishing her as if he was holding the most unique treasure in the world.
Lan Yi also enjoyed this very much.
Ever since she found out she was pregnant, her days in the Xia Family were like being treated like a queen.
◈◈◈
She truly enjoyed the love from her husband.
Therefore, she wouldn’t allow anyone to ruin it.
Not even her own daughter.
“Jiang Zao, how can you talk to your Uncle Xia like that? Let me tell you honestly, I’m planning to move your household registration to the Xia Family. From now on, he will be your father, and you must be as filial to him as you are to me.”
Before Lan Yi could finish speaking, Jiang Zao couldn’t help but laugh.
“Mom, have you forgotten that I’m already married? My household registration was moved to the Fu Family by my mother-in-law a long time ago. Of course, if you have the ability, you can try to move it back. If you can do that, then I promise to call this man ‘Dad’.”
Lan Yi: “……”
She thought it was just a marriage alliance tool, and the Fu Family wouldn’t value her, but she didn’t expect that they had even taken care of the household registration.
Lan Yi didn’t plan to beat around the bush anymore, and went straight to the point.
“Replace all the raw materials for the South of the City Resort construction site with the Xia Corporation’s. It’s all about making money, why should we benefit outsiders?”
Jiang Zao raised an eyebrow: “Are you guys insiders?”
Lan Yi frowned, one hand covering her lower abdomen: “Jiang Zao! Are you trying to anger me to death? How could I have given birth to a white-eyed wolf like you? I worked so hard to raise you, and you can’t even do such a small thing well. Could your Uncle Xia possibly harm you?”
“Would he help me?” Jiang Zao didn’t plan to waste any more words with them, after all, Fu Yanci was still waiting outside.
“There’s no need to talk about the raw materials. I’ve worked at the Xia Corporation before. I know better than anyone what kind of quality those things in the Xia Corporation’s factory are. Don’t even think about using them on my construction site.”
Jiang Zao paused, and looked at Xia Yunqian again: “General Xia used my mom to trick me into coming back, it shouldn’t just be for the raw materials, it’s also for Xia Chuwei’s matter, right?”
Her thoughts were exposed, and Xia Yunqian’s face turned pale.
He had underestimated this girl, Jiang Zao, before.
He thought she was just a little clever, but he didn’t expect that once she gained power, she would become so unforgiving and ungrateful.
Jiang Zao glanced at him and saw through Xia Yunqian’s thoughts, chuckling: “It’s not the first day you’ve known that I’m ungrateful. On the day of my homecoming, I returned all the money the Xia Family spent raising me, and said that we wouldn’t owe each other anything from now on. Now, Xia Chuwei is seeing death and not saving, and almost harmed my mother-in-law and my husband. You actually want me to plead for her, are you really treating me like a three-year-old to coax?”
Pausing, Jiang Zao’s face darkened: “Now, my mother-in-law and A-Ci are both safe and sound. If anything really happened to either of them because of Xia Chuwei, I will definitely repay her double. I mean what I say.”
Turning around, Jiang Zao was about to leave, but stopped at the door again.
She turned slightly, looking at Lan Yi: “A sum of money to sever our mother-daughter relationship. Think clearly about the amount yourself. I don’t have much, and don’t think about asking for a fortune. I’ll only give you three days to consider. After three days, I will post on Weibo to announce that I’m severing ties with you, and we will never see each other again.”
Bang!
Jiang Zao slammed the Xia Family’s door shut.
It was as if she was severing the grievances and hatred towards the Xia Family from two lifetimes.
From now on, this house, the people inside, would have nothing to do with her.
“Wife!”
Fu Yanci didn’t know when he had gotten out of the car, and hugged Jiang Zao tightly.
He didn’t say anything, he just hugged her like that.
Jiang Zao’s stiff body suddenly softened, and for the first time, she let herself go, placing all the weight of her body on Fu Yanci.
After a long time, she finally spoke: “A-Ci, let’s go home.”
