Chapter 139: She certainly wanted to get her son's money back

Shen Xi still wanted to argue with her brother, Mother woke up.

Shen Xun called out to Mother once, but got no response.

He felt helpless.

"Dad, I won't stay here and make Mom angry." Shen Xun left on his own.

Mother Shen lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, tears streaming down in continuous lines.

Her heart ached for the money.

The money her son had earned through hard work all went to that little slut Lin Shutong.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Shen Xi rarely saw her mother so upset.

Mother Shen was so angry she couldn't speak, just kept wiping her tears.

Shen Xi looked toward her father.

Father Shen let out a heavy sigh, gesturing to his daughter: "Go pour Mom a cup of warm water."

"Oh." Shen Xi went to get the water unwillingly.

Father Shen sat in the chair, pulling out a tissue for his wife: "Everything has already happened; getting angry now is useless, it only harms your own body."

"How could I not be angry!" Mother Shen fiercely rubbed the tissue at the corner of her eye, "Even if he didn't spend this money on family members, if he used it to start a business, open a company, and become his own boss, it would be better than spending it on a woman who gives nothing in return!"

Shen Xi heard everything clearly.

She felt even angrier inside.

As expected, Mother couldn't tolerate her brother spending money on that woman Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai indeed gave nothing in return—she didn't use her bonus to buy them gifts, but instead asked her brother to buy gifts for Jiang Lai.

White-eyed wolf!

"Mom, my brother really shouldn't be spending money on..."

"Don't add fuel to the fire here." Father Shen took the water cup his daughter was holding and handed it to his wife.

Upon her father's words, Shen Xi instantly turned into a quail.

Mother Shen slowly sat up, picked up the water and took a sip, her tongue almost got scalded.

"Hiss!"

"Everything's going wrong!" Mother Shen looked at her daughter: "Little Xi, are you trying to scald me to death?"

"No, I thought you wanted to let it cool a bit before drinking." Shen Xi pouted her little lips.

Mother Shen set the cup aside, thinking to herself, "If Jiang Lai were here, that would be great—she definitely wouldn't let her get scalded by boiling water, and would take good care of her."

What a sin.

Mother Shen's eyes were red; she would sigh and lament one moment, then be full of fury the next.

Since the person is awake and there's no serious issue, they should be discharged from the hospital to avoid wasting medical resources.

Shen Xi helped Mother into the car, got in herself, and Father Shen drove from the front.

"Mom, put on your coat."

A slip of paper shook loose from the coat pocket.

"What is this?" Shen Xi picked it up and handed it to Mother.

Mother Shen didn't recall putting a note in her coat pocket; she weakly opened it to look.

【Want to get your son's money back from Lin Shutong? Contact me at this phone number】

Written by Jiang Lai.

Mother Shen's eyes widened suddenly; seeing her mother so shocked, Shen Xi leaned over to take a look.

Mother had already slipped the note back into her pocket.

Mother Shen's dark eyes flashed with a glint—of course she wanted to get her son's money back!

She glanced at her husband in the front seat, thinking this matter must not be known to him.

Men are all the same—they spend money on women outside, and even if the affair is exposed, they won't think about getting the money back.

After all, men get the benefits, while the women are the ones who feel wronged.

But Mother Shen also didn't really trust Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai wants to get the money back; there are only two ways: private negotiation or suing for recovery.

Suing would ruin her son's reputation completely—this is unacceptable.

This is absolutely not acceptable.

Yet not getting her son's money back would make her even more unwilling!

……

On the way back to Nanshan Villa, Mo Yi asked: "Miss Jiang, will Mother Shen agree to cooperate? After all, it's her own son."

She personally saw Miss Jiang leave the note.

"That money is also her own son's." Jiang Lai had been thinking about how to obtain solid evidence for Zhong Lü, but she didn't expect Mother Shen to come to her door herself.

Hearing that Mother Shen, even before fainting, never forgot to curse Lin Shutong once, she knew Mother Shen hated Lin Shutong to the bone and could never side with Lin Shutong.

If she doesn't get back those money of Shen Xun, Mother Shen will also feel unwilling.

Having married into the Shen family for four years, she deeply knows that in the eyes of Mother Shen and her daughter, money is never absent.

"Mother Shen isn't just after the money; it's also for her son." Jiang Lai looked out the window, feeling uncertain herself—Mother Shen loves money, but she also loves her son deeply.

To outsiders, Mother Shen seems to dote on her daughter, but in reality she dotes more on her son.

Back then, when Shen Xun wanted to buy a house for his sister as a dowry, Mother Shen thought a large flat was too big and expensive, and Shen Xi would surely live with her husband's family after marriage.

Rather than buying it for the sister, it would be better to buy it for Shen Xun himself.

In the end, it was Shen Xun who said, if Shen Xi didn't have a proper dowry, she might be looked down upon at her husband's home, and only then was Mother Shen convinced.

If Mother Shen doted more on her daughter, she wouldn't first feel sorry for her son's hard work earning money, and she wouldn't even think that the dowry is the daughter's confidence.

Mo Yi sensed Jiang Lai was a little unhappy; resolving years of grievance was a happy thing, but at the same time, resolving it would also cause those years of grievance to rebound.

Just like a clogged pipe, once cleared it still needs a moment to flush out the dirty water ahead.

"Miss Jiang, this weekend the Young Master is holding a celebration banquet; Miss said she'd come pick you up, so you can have a good time!" Mo Yi changed the subject.

Jiang Lai only then remembered the celebration banquet.

To the Ke Clan it's a celebration banquet, but to her it's letting the two sides' project teams get acquainted early, so they can cooperate more smoothly in future collaboration.

Seeing Jiang Lai's gaze soften a little, Mo Yi continued: "Miss especially likes Miss Jiang; if possible, Miss would want to move over to live together with Miss Jiang."

Jiang Lai said: "I won't be staying here long."

"Ah?" Mo Yi exclaimed, "Miss Jiang, you're moving out?"

Jiang Lai nodded: "Yes."

If you move out, what will the Young Master do!

Since taking over the Ke Clan, the Young Master has most often resided at Number One, Nanshan Villa.

If you move out, how will the Young Master still enjoy the advantage of being close?

"Miss Jiang, where are you moving to?" Mo Yi wanted to find out first, then have the Young Master buy a place there so he could continue being neighbors with Miss Jiang!

Jiang Lai looked at Mo Yi: "We'll talk about it later."

Mo Yi: "Miss Jiang, you'll take me with you, right? I can't leave Miss Jiang, or the Young Master will have me pack up and leave the Ke Family."

Jiang Lai: "……"

"I'll take you."

"Great, thank you, Miss Jiang!" Mo Yi thought, feeling she had narrowly avoided being unable to contribute to the Young Master's love life.

They returned to Nanshan Villa.

Jiang Lai saw piles of vegetables at the door and asked Mo Yi, "Did you buy these?"

Mo Yi nodded: "Starting today I'll make nutritious meals for Miss Jiang; her three meals a day must follow my recipes, striving to fatten her up as soon as possible."

"Miss Jiang, you're too thin, it's bad for your health." The Young Master felt heartbroken, and Mo Yi felt heartbroken watching her.

Jiang Lai watched Mo Yi carry bag after bag into the kitchen, and she tried to help, but her hand was slapped away before she could touch anything.

"Miss Jiang! You can't take my job!"

Jiang Lai didn't believe her, and kept carrying things inside.

Mo Yi sighed, "What a good girl," chuckled and followed in, continuing to forbid her from lifting this and that.

The huge villa became a bit livelier.

That evening, Mo Yi cooked a big table of dishes, then slapped her forehead: "Out of habit I forgot to cut back, Miss Jiang. To avoid waste, shall we find someone to share?"

For example, her family's Young Master.

Jiang Lai nodded: "Mo Yi, send a portion to Boss Ke."

Mo Yi was originally a caretaker for Ke Zhongyu.

Mo Yi: "……"

It's over.

Miss Jiang has suffered too much emotional hurt; this is to seal her heart and renounce love.

Young Master, your road is long.
