The Time-Limited Love and Marriage-Chapter 285

Li Tinglu was forthright in nature, and seldom spoke in such a roundabout way.

Therefore, Jiang Moxi was almost certain that Old Master Jiang, Jiang Tairan, was at Li Tinglu’s side, forcing her to say these things.

Hence, Jiang Moxi bluntly said: "Tell him that’s not my home, and there’s no need for him to force you to be a messenger."

After Jiang Moxi finished speaking, she hung up the call, but her cool voice was quickly transmitted to Li Tinglu’s side.

Because Jiang Tairan had forced her to put the phone on speaker, Jiang Moxi’s words had been directly heard by Jiang Tairan, as well as the other members of the Jiang Family who were nearby.

Yu Man couldn’t help but grumble upon hearing Jiang Moxi’s rejection of their kindness and saying that it wasn’t her home.

"I knew she would never agree to come over. She’s just naturally rebellious!"

Jiang Guosheng also sighed regretfully.

Seeing this, Xiao Qingyun hurriedly added fuel to the fire: "You don’t accompany during the bitter winter; who are you when spring comes next year? If you had diverted even a little bit of the affection you have for Weiwei to Moxi before, she wouldn’t be at odds with you like fire and water now."

"This is our family’s affair, what does it have to do with you!" Yu Man couldn’t stand Xiao Qingyun stepping harshly on the sore spot in her heart and snapped back furiously.

"How can it not matter? My brother said that Moxi has made great contributions in the National Security Department, and after she gains experience there for a while, she will definitely hold an important position. That’s related to the honor of our entire Jiang Family."

After Jiang Weiwei’s celebratory banquet ended fruitlessly, Xiao Qingyun specifically sought out her brother, Xiao Zhi, to inquire about the news of Jiang Moxi’s direct admission.

Xiao Zhi was puzzled at first as to how the Jiang Family could be unaware of these matters, and then he praised Jiang Moxi’s brilliant performance at the time.

Xiao Qingyun guessed right then that Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man must have hidden the information, worried that Jiang Tairan would completely lose hope in Jiang Weiwei, wanting to drive her out and restore Jiang Moxi to the family, as a strategy.

To be honest, Xiao Qingyun originally didn’t have much contact with Jiang Moxi and lacked deep feelings for her.

But after learning about Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man’s behavior from Xiao Zhi, she suddenly felt indignant on behalf of Jiang Moxi, and that was why she deliberately said those things in front of Jiang Tairan.

As expected, Jiang Tairan lectured Yu Man and Jiang Guosheng on the spot.

"What kind of parents are you? Moxi is your own flesh and blood, and the one kneeling outside is the one with an unclear origin. Can’t you distinguish between what’s more important and what’s less?"

Indeed, Jiang Weiwei had been kneeling at the front gate of Jiang’s Old Mansion since the end of the banquet last night.

Whenever someone passed by, she would say she knew she had done wrong, and that she had her reasons, also claiming she had something to tell Jiang Tairan.

But because yesterday she had caused extreme embarrassment for the Jiang Family, no one wanted to pay her any attention.

Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man had softened a bit seeing Jiang Weiwei’s tears never stopping, but they were temporarily too afraid to provoke Jiang Tairan’s anger.

After scolding them thoroughly, Jiang Tairan dropped a harsh warning: "If you don’t bring Moxi back home today, then you all can get out of Yan City, including that thing kneeling outside."

The faces of Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man went pale.

The roots of the Jiang Family, as well as most of their assets, were in Yan City.

Being driven out of Yan City by Jiang Tairan would mean losing the right to contend for the Jiang Family’s wealth and becoming the laughingstock of the entire Yan City.

For Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man, who cared immensely about face, this was almost like a deathblow to the heart.

Thus, Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man had no choice but to act quickly, beginning to try to contact Jiang Moxi, despite the fact that their numbers had long since been blocked by her.

After several attempts, both turned to look at Li Tinglu.

"Tinglu, your aunt and uncle have never mistreated you, could you please help us out?"

Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man pleaded with Li Tinglu appealingly, but she turned a deaf ear, "If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"

"We know we were wrong before..." Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man both lowered their stance significantly.

As they were after all Li Tinglu’s elders, and considering that her mother, Jiang Ruxin, also kept giving her meaningful glances to help out. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

After all, their family had also pinned all their hopes on Jiang Guosheng’s family, and to curry favor with them, Jiang Ruxin had done many things to offend Xiao Qingyun and Zhao Guangmei.

If Jiang Guosheng’s family were really to be driven out of Yan City now, their family would also lose their support.

In the end, Li Tinglu reluctantly agreed to help.

But before making the call, Li Tinglu emphasized: "I personally have great admiration for Sister Moxi, so I cannot offend her for your sake and end up with my number being blocked by her too. Try not to make any noise, and certainly don’t make any radical statements."

Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man just wanted to get in touch with Jiang Moxi as soon as possible, so they replied perfunctorily: "Got it, just make the call."

Hence, Li Tinglu dialed Jiang Moxi’s number for the second time that evening.

"Sister Moxi, here’s the situation. Grandpa has given aunt and uncle a task—if you don’t come back to the Jiang Family, they will be driven out of Yan City."

Li Tinglu explained the whole situation to Jiang Moxi, implying that it was up to her to decide what to do without having to do anyone any favors.

Jiang Moxi responded quickly on the other end: "Their business has nothing to do with me, and I don’t want to go back either."

Although they had anticipated Jiang Moxi would respond this way, hearing her cold, indifferent voice coming from the speakerphone still caused Yu Man and Jiang Guosheng’s hearts to sink.

Unable to tolerate Jiang Moxi’s disregard, Yu Man didn’t care about the promise she made to Li Tinglu earlier and snatched the phone from her hand, starting to rant crazily at Jiang Moxi on the other end.

"Jiang Moxi, so what if you were recommended to the National Security Department? Do you think you could have achieved this without us?"

"Do you want to sever ties with us completely just because of this trivial matter, this small debt?"

"I admit that in terms of education, we did not support you as much as we did Weiwei, but we gave you life. Without life, could you have lived so freely and brilliantly?"

"You think we weren’t good to you, but you don’t realize how much you owe us. If you really don’t want to have anything to do with us anymore, repay us for the kindness of giving birth to you, and then it won’t be late to sever ties."

Yu Man almost let out all the scolding she had for Jiang Moxi that night in one breath.

She thought, since they had already made it this bad with Jiang Moxi and the Jiang Family, might as well vent all her frustration now, or else she might never have the chance to express it again.

Now, everyone present was angrily looking at her upon hearing Yu Man’s hysterical remarks.

They all felt that Yu Man was about to ruin the last bit of sentiment between Jiang Moxi and the Jiang Family.

Even Jiang Guosheng glared at her, "Have you lost your mind? What’s the point of saying all this! It’s more than enough to ruin things but not enough to make things happen!"

Li Tinglu was even more annoyed, "Aunt, didn’t you promise me not to say anything extreme? What do you mean by this? If Sister Moxi really blocks my number, I’ll be upset with you!"

After venting all her anger, Yu Man calmed down quite a bit and started to regret her radical outburst.

But to her and everyone’s disbelief, after her hysterical outburst, Jiang Moxi actually changed her mind: "Fine, I’ll come back now, to repay you for the kindness of giving birth to me."
