Call Me The Mother of Quick Transmigration

Chapter 27 – My Son is a Phoenix Man (part 7)

Now, even Wei Yue Er thought that there was something wrong. She pulled at Jiang Shan. “Then, what do you mean? Mei Li, don’t you think that it is bad to look at someone else’s husband so pitifully?”

Mei Li ignored Wei Yue Er and only looked at Jiang Shan. “Jiang Shan, I really had no choice but to come to you. I didn’t expect that you have changed and have become so cold and ruthless. It seems like I am bothering you. Goodbye!” She made a mistake today. That Jiang Shan was so fucking hard to deal with. She should look for him in private. That way, things wouldn’t have turned out like this. Damn it!

After she finished speaking, she turned to leave.

Li Su stopped her. “Girl, I don’t like what you said. While I doubt the authenticity of your words, let’s give you the benefit of the doubt here. Even if what you said is true, one hundred and eighty thousand yuan is a large amount. It is more than my son’s yearly salary. Why are you desperate? Does my son have a duty to lend you one hundred and eighty thousand yuan?! Does he have money to burn?1 My son is married now. His responsibility is to his wife and family. He doesn’t have that much money, but even if he did, he would not have this obligation! Is it ruthless to not lend you money? You’re taking this for granted! Don’t say that you are just ordinary classmates. Even if you were dating, my son has no obligation to you!”

Li Su’s words made sense to all of the onlookers. Yes, even if they were lovers or related, let alone just classmates, 180000 yuan was a lot. This wasn’t appropriate!

“Auntie is right. I can’t understand you green tea bitches, sending such amorous glances. How heartless! Quit it!” said one girl in the crowd disdainfully.

“She really has no shame!”

Mei Li’s face was white. She bit her lip and stared at Li Su viciously. “Don’t force me!”

“How did I force you? Everyone saw it clearly. I didn’t do anything,” Li Su said indifferently.

The people pointing at Mei Li made her very embarrassed. Her expression changed and she finally lowered her head without a word and ran away. As there was no longer a show to watch, the onlookers dispersed.

Li Su looked at Mei Li’s retreating form and shook her head. “This girl is really full of lies. Even if what she said was true, can’t she just do something about it? Yue Er, I remember that when we met last time, you had the same bag as she had. How much is it?”

Wei Yue Er thought about it seriously. “That day, she wore Chanel. Although it isn’t from a new season, it is more than ten thousand. The bag is from LV, which costs ten to twenty thousand. The shoes are Dior and are probably in the ten thousands. Oh, the dress she wore today is also from Chanel. Although it looks rather simple, it is also probably in the ten thousands.”

Jiang Shan was dumbfounded. How could he not have noticed?

“These clothes and shoes alone are worth tens of thousands. Since she is so short on money, why doesn’t she just sell them and get some money back? See? She has bad intentions and wants to deceive men who don’t know anything! You better stay away from her in the future,” said Li Su.

“Maybe they are imitations,” Jiang Shan said awkwardly, although he knew it was unlikely.

“How can it be? I can tell at a glance whether it is real or an imitation. It is definitely real,” Wei Yue Er said firmly. “Listen to mum. I also think she has ulterior motives. Husband, you aren’t allowed to talk to her!”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you and ignore her!” Jiang Shan smiled and put his arms around Wei Yue Er. “Let’s go. Didn’t you want to buy clothes for mum?”

Wei Yue Er snorted and broke away from Jiang Shan. She ran over to take Li Su’s hand and said sweetly, “Mum, let’s go.”

Jiang Shan smiled helplessly and followed closely.

In fact, Mei Li didn’t go far. She was hiding behind a big tree and watching them with hatred! That damn old woman flattered Wei Yue Er to no end, but showed such an attitude towards her! Wasn’t it because the Wei family was powerful?

“One day, one day!” Mei Li dug her nails into the tree bark. The humiliation and anger in her heart made her able to ignore the pain. By the time she realised it, the manicure she spent hundreds of yuan on had been ruined.

Mei Li looked at her hands in distress. No, she couldn’t let this go. She would definitely get revenge for the humiliation she suffered today. She originally only wanted to be a hidden mistress with no worries, but now she had changed her mind. Wei Yue Er, aren’t you only arrogant because you are rich and powerful? I want to take everything from you! I want to watch you cry with a big smile!

As for that old witch, what could she do? After being with Jiang Shan for 3 years, she knew how deeply filial he was. His mother was indispensable in getting him to the top smoothly. Hmph, when her luck changes, she will deal with her!

Mei Li calmed down and began to think about what to do next. What she had said before was partially true. Her brother was about to get married and the woman did ask for a bride price of 180000 yuan. But, since she had gone to university, she had cut all contact with her family. Her parents couldn’t get money from her sisters, so now they were looking for her crazily! Her fellow villagers had informed her of this. She just mentioned this reason to Jiang Shan before to win sympathy from him.

She would lie low for now.

Mei Li believed that, as long as she waited patiently, she could find an opportunity one day. Would there be true love between a peacock girl and a phoenix man? Even if there was, it could be worn down by the trivialities of life. Wei Yue Er was a lady from a wealthy family. She was charming and not easy to raise. If she couldn’t give birth or if she gave birth to a daughter, she didn’t believe that the old witch wouldn’t react at all! It was just natural that the Chinese favoured sons over daughters, especially people from rural areas. Mei Li suffered from this mindset. She believed that the widowed old witch would be the same as her parents. When that time came, she would have her chance!

Before that time, she would wait patiently.

Mei Li thought of this and sighed. It seemed that she had to sell something and then find a place to settle down. It wasn’t easy to stay at a hotel. She needed to find a job. Maybe she could go to the Wei family and find work. It would be more convenient if she was near them when the time came.

Mei Li smiled triumphantly when she thought of this before she walked away briskly.

Jiang Shan finally made Wei Yue Er laugh. After this, Wei Yue Er leaned into Jiang Shan’s arms. “Husband, I am so happy now. I have a husband who loves me and a mother-in-law who loves and protects me. I hope we can continue to be happy. Don’t you also think so?”

Jiang Shan gently placed a kiss on her cheek. “We will always be happy. I promise!” In fact, he had thought that Yue Er was too squeamish before and that his mother wouldn’t like her. He worried that his mother wouldn’t get along with her and that he would be embarrassed by this. Unexpectedly, his mother liked Yue Er a lot and Yue Er was so sensible and filial.

Jiang Shan felt that this current situation was very good. He liked it a lot.

“Husband, when the tender has been completed, my mother said that she would like to invite us to her house. We can take a few days off and take mum out for a trip. Maybe we can go to Hainan and see the ocean. Mum must have never seen the ocean! How does this sound?” Wei Yue Er raised her head and said excitedly.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Jiang Shan touched Wei Yue Er’s head and lifted up the quilt. “You should stay here. I’ll get your bath water ready.”

Wei Yue Er nestled in the quilt. “Mm, okay. Thank you, husband.”

When Wei Yue Er came out of the bathroom, Jiang Shan had changed the sheets and duvets. When he saw her come out, he waved. “It’s getting late. Let’s go to bed!”

Wei Yue Er threw herself on the bed. “Husband, I am so happy!”

Jiang Shan looked at her and smiled.

At this time, Li Su was sitting on the sofa and watching TV. She had some roast meat and a few bottles of beer in front of her. She felt there was nothing wrong with acting like an old woman. She didn’t have to deal with a period. She didn’t have to go to work from 9 to 5. She didn’t need to engage in scheming in a career. She could eat and drink and dance since she had a lot of free time. This was very comfortable! She had received professional dance training. On the first day she had moved into the community, she had conquered the men and women in the surrounding communities with her dance skills. They clamoured to worship her as a teacher.

Of course, a happy life meant that one would have a filial son.

Li Su proudly took a sip of her beer and then took a bite of her mutton skewers. She smiled.

A week later, the tender had finished. The Wei family successfully won the project and they could now meet with the in-laws. Wei Ding Shan wanted to set up a table at a hotel, but Mother Wei thought that eating at home would be better.

“I’ve heard Yue Er talk about mother’s temperament. She is very easy-going and understands things well. I’m so thankful that Yue Er has such a mother-in-law!” Mother Wei said.

Wei Ding Shan was busy with company affairs so he didn’t know much about this.

Mother Wei was proud of her daughter’s knowledge about things pertaining to her relationship. “Isn’t Jiang Shan’s ex-girlfriend called Mei something? Didn’t you give her half a million to send her away? They are now back again. It is likely she has spent all the money. Fortunately, her mother-in-law is so powerful and stood by Yue Er’s side. She sent that woman away with a few words.”

“Does Yue Er know?” Wei Ding Shan frowned. He didn’t hesitate to use money to send that woman away, but he was worried that his daughter would know about it and blame him for bullying people. Therefore, he kept the matter of Mei Li a secret from Wei Yue Er. He only told her that Mei Li had broken up by herself.

“Yue Er doesn’t know. According to my intuition, mother-in-law should know. She knows, and yet she is standing by Yue Er. Because of this, I will look after her!” said Mother Wei.

Wei Ding Shan was relieved and leaned back against the sofa. “What is this? You can only see people’s hearts over time. You need to take time to analyse these things!”
