She feared that her only son would no longer listen to her, and even more so, she was afraid of losing everything because of it.
Taking a deep breath, Xue Yiyang furrowed his brows and clenched his teeth, struggling to speak words of comfort: "I'm sorry, I was too harsh. But Mom, you need to understand that Mu Tongzi is not as simple as you think. Since you dared to let someone publish his scandal, he certainly has the ability to find out about you. If you provoke him too much, the entire Xue Family might not end up well. If you want to see the Xue Family come to ruin, then go ahead and do what you want!"
With a slight sigh, he looked at his pale-faced mother, turned coldly, and left the living room without looking back.
Staring intently at the entrance that had long been empty, Xiao Jingqiu gasped for breath, clutching her painful chest, and cried out in distress.
No matter how strong or powerful she was, when faced with betrayal from those close to her, she still felt as if the sky had fallen, engulfed in darkness.
Returning to the Jiang family was a painful experience, especially during such an interrogation; it made Green Qi feel as if every moment stretched into a year.
Standing beside the sofa, she glanced at the elders of the Jiang family waiting for their return; the living room felt like a courtroom where she was the one awaiting sentencing.
Aside from witnessing such a grand occasion during competitions and university speeches, she had never seen such a serious scene before. Even her uncles and aunts who usually didn't come home for holidays were present.
Since marrying into the Jiang family, Green Qi had gained some understanding of their network. The second son of the Jiang family, Jiang Chengmu's uncle, worked at the Land Bureau as a deputy director. However, he disliked being referred to with the title "deputy," so everyone generally called him Director Jiang. Perhaps accustomed to dealing with officials, he carried an air of authority about him. Unfortunately, he only had one daughter, Jiang Chengmu's younger sister Jiang Zixi.
The eldest aunt was the director of a private hospital, dressed in a white Chanel suit, exuding a strong woman vibe. She also had one daughter, who was Jiang Chengmu's older sister Ma Xuxu.
The younger aunt was a diplomat; she had only been seen once on her wedding day and had since disappeared, reportedly having gone to England.
The uncle was a military officer and served as chief of staff in a certain military district; she had yet to meet him since their marriage.
After scanning the room for a week and observing the many elders, Green Qi finally fixed her gaze on Madam Jiang, who was sitting on a single sofa. She slightly lowered her eyes, feeling awkward and guilty.
In the entire Jiang family, it seemed that only Madam Jiang supported her joining the family. However, after the internal restructuring of Wind Dust Group and the recent media reports, Madam Jiang must have been thoroughly disappointed in her by now!
Standing to the side, Jiang Chengmu glanced at the woman next to him who was preparing to shrink back like a turtle. He mockingly curled his lips and pulled her into his embrace, looking up with a smile at the many elders: "Grandma, Mom, Aunt, Uncle, we’re back!"
Slowly raising her head, Green Qi was just about to greet the elders when Madam Jiang on the right side of the sofa interrupted: "Xiaomu, look at the wife you brought home; she doesn’t even understand basic manners. She doesn’t know to greet anyone when she comes home! I see she doesn’t care about us elders at all. A commoner is just a commoner; look at how she doesn’t deserve you! I don’t expect her to bring glory to the Jiang family, but now she’s even putting a green hat on you. Climbing walls is one thing, but she dares to make it public? Aren't you ashamed enough for the Jiang family?"
"Grandma, I'm sorry..." With her head lowered, Green Qi gritted her teeth and apologized.
