The woman was so angry that her nose was askew. She wanted to scold Qiao Yin but was stopped by Jiang Huiru.
The hatred was clear in her eyes: “This is Jiasen’s aunt, here today with me to settle a score with you! What right do you have to force my son to transfer to public school? If you’re trying to ruin my son, don’t you dare do it without my agreement!”
Qiao Yin snorted: “All of you, one after another, believe it was me who forced Qiao Jiasen to transfer schools. Do I really hold such power over you all? Couldn’t it be that he has matured and didn’t want to spend too much of the family’s money, so chose to transfer schools on his own?”
“What a blatant liar you are! I know my own son. He would never transfer schools on his own. It is clear to me that you forced him, but you still won’t admit it.”
“If you don’t believe me, go ask Qiao Jiasen yourself. See if he transferred schools on his own initiative. Don’t just stand in my doorway; it’s annoying.” “Why are you so malicious at such a young age? Although Jiasen is my son, he is also your brother! Can your conscience take ruining his life? Are you still bitter because you think I stole your father? I’ll tell you the truth today. It wasn’t I who stole your father; it was your mother who stole my man!”
Qiao Yin was almost choked with laughter by her ridiculousness: “You should know there’s a limit to your nonsense. My mother stole your man? I’m seven years older than Qiao Jiasen. Isn’t it clear who was first between you and my mother?”
Jiang Huiru’s voice was filled with resentment: “What do you know! I knew Qiao Haidong before your mother even met him. We were already engaged!” Qiao Yin’s face hardened slightly: “What did you say?”
“I’m not lying to you!”
Jiang Huiru exclaimed angrily: “Qiao Haidong was my fiance! But your mother stole him away with a pharmaceutical formula. He used that formula to start a pharmaceutical company and dumped me, then swiftly got married to your mother! I’m the real victim!”
“Impossible! You’re just being unreasonable – my mother would never steal your fiance!”
Qiao Yin knew better than anyone, her mother would never do such a thing.
Her mother died when she was seven; she was only 30 years old at the time and renowned for her beauty.
She was devoted to her medical research and lived with her maternal grandmother for many years. There were always people who thought she was divorced or widowed and were frequent suitors, not caring that she had a daughter.
Many men even tried to win her mother’s favor by buying her various toys and sweets.
But her mother never let her accept gifts from these people, not even a single piece of candy, and she would firmly reject their courtship.
If anyone was persistent, she would call Qiao Haidong to stay with them for a few days. After few outings together as a family would typically deter the suitors for awhile.
Her mother was gentle and kind by nature, and somewhat detached from worldly affairs. She had many suitors, many of whom were better off than Qiao Haidong. How could she possibly steal someone else’s fiance?
“The fact is that your mother stole Qiao Haidong from me. I knew you wouldn’t believe me, that’s why I brought my sister with me today as a witness! 23 years ago, when Qiao Haidong and I were engaged, everyone in my family knew about it! The Qiao Family also knew all about it. It’s only because your grandmother’s family had more money and connections than ours that the Qiao Family didn’t dare to mention me anymore!”
Qiao Yin knew that her grandmother indeed had some wealth. At her wedding, grandmother had casually gifted her a Porsche worth 1.2 million, along with enormous gold bars, and also gave her three million in cash as dowry. However, all this money was later taken away by Qiao Haidong.
Her grandmother had been practicing medicine for many years and had saved countless lives. Many of the people she had cured would go to thank her every year. To a certain extent, this indeed constituted a form of connection.
The Jiang Family, on the other hand, was quite ordinary. Jiang Huiru herself also wasn’t particularly skilled or capable, so it was possible that the Qiao family would look down on her and stop mentioning her..
