CHAPTER 340: CHAPTER 340:

"Could it be that she was upset and ran into Suchen?" Jiang Tairan pondered, then tasked Jiang Guosheng.

"You immediately contact Weiwei to confirm whether she has moved into Suchen’s house, and then..."

After Jiang Tairan hung up the phone, Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man hurriedly checked their social circles.

Yu Man was also somewhat shocked by the table full of luxury skincare products.

She also enjoyed experimenting with these skincare products and had purchased a lot of them, so she roughly knew how much all that would cost.

What puzzled her was that these skincare products were all the type suitable for young people and not suitable for someone Suchen’s age.

If Suchen really prepared so many luxury skincare products for Jiang Weiwei, she truly treated Jiang Weiwei like her own daughter.

But remembering how Jiang Weiwei blatantly lied to her face tonight, Yu Man began to doubt the authenticity of the picture.

"Could it be that she’s staying at a friend’s house and just staged this scene at her friend’s dressing table?"

But Jiang Guosheng also doubted this possibility and even zoomed in on the photo to inspect, before finally saying:

"It doesn’t look staged; you see, these have not even been opened."

After discussing the photo for a while, Jiang Guosheng then suggested: "Why don’t you give Weiwei a call to apologize, and you can casually ask her, then we’ll know the truth."

Yu Man couldn’t bring herself to do it, annoyed: "I didn’t do anything wrong, why should I be the one to apologize?"

"Just consider that if she succeeds, you’ll be the lady of THE ONE Group, standing tall and speaking with pride in front of wives from all the noble families."

With Jiang Guosheng’s persuasion, Yu Man finally gave Jiang Weiwei a call.

However, Jiang Weiwei purposefully kept Yu Man waiting, only answering after Yu Man had called for the fourth time.

"Weiwei, sorry. Mom was just too angry earlier, lost control and even hit you. Are you okay?"

Yu Man was irritated, but she apologized as Jiang Guosheng had suggested.

"Mom, I’m not mad, I’m fine," Jiang Weiwei said.

But she didn’t mention her stay at Suchen’s house to Yu Man, nor did she mention anything else, leaving Yu Man feeling uneasy.

Yu Man could only ask, "Are you still angry? Why else haven’t you come home so late?"

Jiang Weiwei knew that Yu Man must have seen her social media post to call and apologize and to be concerned about her whereabouts.

Otherwise, given Yu Man’s usual character, she would have definitely neglected Jiang Weiwei for a while.

Jiang Weiwei thought for a second before responding, "I’m not mad... I just happened to run into Aunt Suchen, and seeing me all alone, she took me back to her place."

Yu Man didn’t immediately rejoice but repeatedly confirmed, "Are you really at Suchen’s house?"

"Mom, do I need to lie to you?" Jiang Weiwei’s tone cooled.

Thinking about the embarrassing events of the evening, Yu Man retorted sarcastically: "That’s pretty much how you lied this evening!"

When their conversation became stuck, Suchen’s voice came through, "Weiwei, would you like some milk stewed with fish maw? It’s very good for the skin."

Recognizing Suchen’s voice and realizing she had wronged Jiang Weiwei, Yu Man said, "Weiwei, I indeed behaved terribly tonight, sorry."

Jiang Weiwei didn’t care much for her response.

After the nasty fallout with Yu Man, she suddenly didn’t know how to converse casually with Jiang Weiwei, so she simply relayed what Jiang Tairan had mentioned on the phone.

"I understand, I’ll contact Grandpa first thing tomorrow morning."

Then, Jiang Weiwei hung up the phone.

Right then, Suchen came in with a bowl of milk stewed with fish maw.

Seeing Weiwei staring blankly at her phone, she asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing much. I just called my mom, but she still won’t listen to me explain."

Jiang Weiwei’s eyes reddened the moment she spoke.

Suchen tried to console her, "Don’t think too much, have something to eat and rest early. Your mom will come around eventually."

But such consolation was neither here nor there for Jiang Weiwei.

So, Jiang Weiwei had to intensify her tears in front of Suchen.

"Aunt Suchen, you are so kind. Why isn’t my mom as gentle as you?"

Jiang Weiwei wanted to add, "If only you were my mom, that would be wonderful."

Yes, Jiang Weiwei wanted to use such tearful words to attack and break into Suchen’s heart, hoping Suchen would consider adopting her.

But before she could finish her words, Suchen said: "Everyone in this world is different. Your mother might not be gentle, but she surely has other shining points."

These words blocked what Jiang Weiwei was about to blurt out, leaving her no choice but to start devising a new plan.

However, before she could come up with anything, Suchen comforted her with a few more words, saying:

"Alright, Lai De will be back soon. I’m going back to my room. After you finish eating, you should go to sleep early."

Jiang Weiwei could only nod in agreement and politely saw Suchen out of the room...

On the other side, after leaving the celebration, Jiang Moxi took out her phone to check it.

She had hoped that after Fu Youhan finished his work and returned to Tianqin Bay, he would notice she hadn’t eaten anything and come to find her.

But there were still no new messages or missed calls from Fu Youhan on her phone.

So, Jiang Moxi didn’t feel like returning to Tianqin Bay, not wanting to face the empty house alone.

Jiang Moxi was riding her motorcycle aimlessly around the city to clear her mind when she unexpectedly came across a group of thugs harassing two young girls.

She then got off her bike and approached the group of thugs.

"Yo, here comes another one."

"Seeing us having fun, you want to join us?"

"Tsk tsk! This girl is absolutely stunning, and what a figure too."

"How do you like to play? The brothers here are ready to die accompanying you."

As they saw Jiang Moxi approaching, their sleazy gazes continuously sized her up, surrounding her with vulgar and filthy language.

"Jiang Moxi, it’s you!"

Among the thugs, someone accurately called out her name, Jiang Moxi.

Jiang Moxi looked towards the voice and saw Liu Er, previously a subordinate of Fu Yiming.

But Jiang Moxi showed no fear, instead, she gave a look to the two girls, signaling them to leave quickly.

The two girls got the hint from Jiang Moxi and promptly ran away.

As the thugs focused their attention on Jiang Moxi, they paid little heed to where the girls went.

Someone asked Liu Er: "Brother Liu Er, you know this girl?"

With a wicked smile and a sinister look, Liu Er said: "More than just know her!"

The moment Liu Er saw Jiang Moxi, his violent nature was provoked.

He had previously failed to rob Jiang Moxi and even had his motorcycle stolen by her, which was humiliating enough.

Later on, when trying to expose Jiang Moxi’s true nature failed and Fu Yiming mistakenly thought he had embezzled goods, he even had one of his fingers cut off!

Since that day, Liu Er had been plotting to kill Jiang Moxi to cleanse his humiliation.

So he had been investigating and tracking Jiang Moxi and knew what she looked like without makeup.

However, he knew that Jiang Moxi’s Kung Fu skills were good, and he couldn’t handle her alone, which is why he hadn’t acted rashly.

But he didn’t expect Jiang Moxi to show up herself.

"Brothers, since Jiang Moxi let our prey escape, she will take their place herself."

Liu Er’s suggestion gained the support of his brothers.

Someone else said: "Who’s first?"

Liu Er thought, Jiang Moxi was skilled enough to beat up a man, but if several men attacked her at once, she definitely couldn’t fend them off.

So, he maliciously smiled: "All together, no need to take turns."

Then they rubbed their hands in anticipation and reached out towards Jiang Moxi...

Ten minutes later, all of them were lying on the ground, wincing in pain.

Jiang Moxi was still standing on Liu Er’s hand, asking him: "That deep purple car of yours, I’ll trade you for another one."

Liu Er: "..."

This car swap came a bit sudden.
