The Time-Limited Love and Marriage-Chapter 532:

Jiang Guosheng, following Jiang Tairan’s request, changed several phone numbers trying to get in touch with Jiang Moxi, making efforts to mitigate the impact.

Yu Man did the same, continuously trying various contact methods to call Jiang Moxi.

But Jiang Moxi had nearly added all their related phone numbers to her blacklist.

"This damned girl, why does she need to take things to such an extreme? After all, it’s our blood that flows through her veins, why must she wipe us out completely?"

Yu Man complained about Jiang Moxi’s heartlessness, and she couldn’t help but think of Jiang Weiwei’s obedience.

She thought that after such a long time, Jiang Weiwei must have reformed.

She even planned to visit the women’s detention center in the next few days to see how Jiang Weiwei was doing, and to help her out a bit.

If Jiang Weiwei acknowledged her wrongdoings, Yu Man even considered selling all the funds and stocks she had on hand, to pay Jiang Weiwei’s breach of contract penalty, so she could be released early and the family of three reunited.

However, after Jiang Guosheng’s repeated attempts to contact Jiang Moxi had failed, and seeing the stock market plunge to an unbearable level, he couldn’t sit still anymore.

"Let’s go to the Feng Family," Jiang Guosheng said.

"To that place? Forget it, even if we went, the noble Miss Xi certainly wouldn’t let us in."

Yu Man thought back to the last time their family stood at the entrance of Feng Family’s Mansion for several hours without seeing anyone, and was infuriated.

But Jiang Guosheng said, "Do you want to just watch as Jiang’s market value shrinks by tens of times? By that time, not to speak of rejuvenating the Jiang Family, we wouldn’t even be able to pay Weiwei’s compensation."

Hearing Jiang Guosheng mention Jiang Weiwei’s compensation, Yu Man immediately compromised.

Soon, the two of them arrived in front of the Feng Family’s gates.

Originally, they thought that getting into the Feng Family this time would definitely be more difficult than before.

Unexpectedly, after the butler went into the mansion to ask Old Master Feng, they were allowed in.

"The Old Master said to let the two of you in to talk."

Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man exchanged a gleeful look and hurriedly followed the butler’s pace.

On their way, Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man were astounded numerous times by the pavilions, terraces, and towers inside the Feng Mansion, which they could describe as the very pinnacle among luxury homes they had seen.

However, there was one place in this estate that seemed somewhat out of place with these scenes of utmost beauty.

It was where there should have been a small pond that would complement the scenery perfectly, but instead, there was a small children’s playground.

Swings, slides, seesaws, and a carousel, it seemed to have everything.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Guosheng couldn’t help but exclaim, "Turning a scenic spot into a playground seems a bit of a waste." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Hearing Jiang Guosheng’s words, the butler couldn’t help but respond, "This used to be a small pond. Miss Xi slipped and fell into the pond at the age of seven, crying. So Old Master Feng had the pond filled in and turned it into a playground to console her."

Hearing this, Jiang Guosheng was instantly at a loss for words.

Yu Man couldn’t help but feel sour in her heart, "Talk about the whims of the rich; just because of a fall, they changed such a beautiful garden into a playground."

Yu Man even felt that the reason Jiang Moxi was so temperamental and willful now was entirely because she had been spoiled by Old Master Feng.

The two remained silent, and the butler continued to lead them through the house to the living room of the main residence.

In the living room, Old Master Feng was playing with his bird.

"Old Master Feng, hello. It’s rather presumptuous of us to come visit so abruptly."

Jiang Guosheng was the first to greet him, while Yu Man quickly followed with a flattering smile, yet she didn’t forget to look around, hoping to catch sight of Jiang Moxi.

But Old Master Feng quickly caught on to something and said with a light smile, "Xixi is not here. She’s gone to the mountains with her brothers to look for game for a barbecue they’re having in the garden tonight."

The barbecue was suggested by Feng Ming and Cen Xuan, probably out of concern that Jiang Moxi would be distressed by the Jiang Family’s announcement of severing ties, so they were trying hard to divert her attention from the matter.

At the moment, Old Master Feng was also relieved that Feng Ming had taken Jiang Moxi out to hunt for game earlier. Otherwise, if she had seen these two, she probably would have been upset again.

"Game? I know a good store for that. How about I go and get some for Moxi and the others later?"

Jiang Guosheng intended to use the excuse of bringing game to the Feng Family more often, hoping to establish a connection with them.

Doing so could also solve the current problems facing the Jiang Family.

But Old Master Feng said, "No need, it’s more meaningful when you hunt for the game yourself."

Jiang Guosheng’s offer was rejected, and his smile stiffened a bit.

Yu Man quickly took over the conversation, "Then, how about I help them deal with the game they catch later? It wouldn’t be nice for Moxi, a girl, to have to touch something bloody."

"No need, Moxi’s brothers will naturally take care of it for her. Even if they weren’t around, this old man here would make sure everything is arranged properly. Our precious girl from the Feng Family need only be responsible for having fun."

Old Master Feng refused again. Yu Man and Jiang Guosheng weren’t fools; they could certainly hear the underlying criticism in Old Master Feng’s words about their poor treatment of Jiang Moxi.

Jiang Guosheng knew it was not a good idea to talk back in such a situation, especially when they were asking for a favor.

But Yu Man, feeling unjustly accused, spoke up, "Old Mr. Feng, we have not mistreated Moxi. You cannot simply take a child’s words at face value and conclude that everything is our fault."

"Then tell me, what exactly have you done right? Was it shielding your foster daughter and denying Miss Xi’s identity? Or was it that in an attempt to protect your foster daughter, you throw all the dirt on Miss Xi? Or perhaps you were worried about being dragged down by Miss Xi and took the initiative to publish a declaration to cut off relations?"

With a barrage of questions from Old Master Feng, Jiang Guosheng’s complexion became quite uncomfortable.

He quickly gestured to Yu Man to stop talking.

But Yu Man, burning with indignation, couldn’t hold back, "Our public declaration was also for self-preservation. Look, Moxi has not undergone proper training at the Chinese Medicine College. Letting someone like her treat cancer patients is bound to end poorly."

"Moreover, our Jiang’s is already on the brink of disaster. If we allow her to drag us down further, we’ll surely be on the verge of bankruptcy."

"So you’re saying that for your own protection, you’re willing to push Miss Xi into the storm again, and you think you’re doing the right thing?" Old Master Feng retorted.

"Self-preservation is human nature," Yu Man said.

"So what is it you’re looking for Miss Xi to do now?" Old Master Feng’s eyes grew colder.

"We want her to release a statement as soon as possible to clarify that the Jiang Family is at fault," Yu Man answered bluntly.

But Old Master Feng questioned her, "You’ve clearly made a mistake, what right do you have to ask Miss Xi to ’clarify’ on your behalf?"

Yu Man said, "Moxi shares the same blood with us, and even if the bones are broken, the sinews are still connected. Could she really bear to see the Jiang Family diminish by dozens of times?"

Old Master Feng scoffed, "You keep hurting Miss Xi over and over again, you vocally claim to sever relations with her, but when troubles arise, you expect her to bail you out? Your skin is really thick indeed."
