Chapter 230: Chapter 225: Otherwise, I Will Be Unhappy 1
Since the car accident, Jin Jumo hasn’t had a good rest for two consecutive nights, and her face shows an unnaturally pale hue.
"Momo, take the kids home to rest tonight." Ying Jingyao looked at her with concern.
"I’ll take Xixi and Hanhan home first. I’ll come back once they’re asleep," Jin Jumo glanced at the two little ones who were already dozing off on the sofa and said.
"You’re a patient yourself, and you haven’t rested well for two days, don’t push yourself. Go home and take a good rest tonight. You can come to accompany me after sending Xixi and Hanhan to kindergarten tomorrow morning." Ying Jingyao said, slightly furrowing his eyebrows.
Jin Jumo indeed felt a throbbing pain on both sides of her temples, as if a small drum kept beating in her mind throughout the day. If it weren’t for her strong will, she wouldn’t be able to sustain herself.
Hearing Ying Jingyao’s words, Jin Jumo no longer insisted.
Jin Jumo left the hospital with Xixi and Hanhan past nine o’clock and reached the apartment building before ten.
The two little ones were already dozing off in their car seats.
Jin Jumo hurriedly parked the car, and as soon as she pushed the car door open, an orange figure suddenly leaped before her, blocking her at the car door.
Jin Jumo was slightly surprised and looked up.
She saw Gu Lingyi in a chic orange suit, glaring at her with an imposing demeanor.
Jin Jumo glanced at Xixi and Hanhan in the back of the car and said to Gu Lingyi, "Miss Gu, if you have something to say, can you let me get out of the car first? I’m not used to being blocked at the car door like this."
"I waited for someone all day and didn’t like it at all either!" Gu Lingyi said, her tone filled with hostility.
Jin Jumo squinted her eyes, her expression slightly cold, "Since neither of us liked it, why don’t we just not meet."
"Do you think I want to see you?" Gu Lingyi clenched her fist.
"If Miss Gu doesn’t want to see me, neither do I. It’s best like this, let’s never meet again in the future."
Jin Jumo directly stepped out.
Gu Lingyi was forced to retreat two steps, slightly surprised as she watched Jin Jumo slowly close the car door and prepare to head towards the apartment.
Holding her breath, Gu Lingyi quickly walked forward to block Jin Jumo, "My mum and I waited for you all day, finally you’re here, and you want to leave? There’s no way!"
"What does Miss Gu want to do then?" Jin Jumo asked coldly.
"Did you want my mum to give you the cheque personally before you’d accept it?" Gu Lingyi said, gnashing her teeth angrily.
Jin Jumo frowned, "I didn’t say I would necessarily accept it. I just said that if Ms. Liang wants to give it to me, she should give it to me herself."
"What do you mean?"
Gu Lingyi had already lost her patience after waiting in the cold all day, and upon hearing Jin Jumo’s words, she exploded, "My mum and I waited for you all day..."
"Did I ask you and Ms. Liang to wait?" Jin Jumo retorted.
"I don’t care!" Gu Lingyi yelled, her previously fresh young face now twisted with rage, glaring at Jin Jumo, "You must take the cheque today, if you don’t..."
"What will Miss Gu do to me if I don’t accept it?" Jin Jumo asked coldly.
Gu Lingyi looked at Jin Jumo’s indifferent demeanor, which seemed to have a hint of disdain for speaking further with her, and her anger burned even stronger, "Don’t think I won’t dare to do anything to you! If I want to deal with you, I have plenty of methods! You better know when to quit, don’t be shameless!"
Jin Jumo took a deep breath, turned her gaze towards Liang Yi, who stood not far behind Gu Lingyi, looking anxiously in this direction, "Ms. Liang and Miss Gu, despite being from a prominent family, are blocking me downstairs where I live, threatening and intimidating me. Aren’t you afraid that someone might recognize Ms. Liang and Miss Gu and record the process to make it public? How would Ms. Liang explain it to the world then?"
Liang Yi’s face slightly changed, and she instinctively glanced around. Seeing that there was no one nearby, she felt slightly relieved.
Jin Jumo couldn’t help but laugh coldly, "There may be no one now, but there are surveillance videos in front of upscale apartments. I advise Ms. Liang and Miss Gu to be more mindful of their behavior."
"You..."
"Yiyi!" Liang Yi interrupted quickly when Gu Lingyi started to speak.
She stepped forward, pulling Gu Lingyi’s hand back behind her.
"Mum..."
"Shut up!" Liang Yi said fiercely, glaring at Gu Lingyi.
Gu Lingyi’s heart trembled, and her tone weakened, "Mum..."
Liang Yi glared at her again.
Gu Lingyi didn’t dare make another sound.
Jin Jumo observed the scene.
She could see it clearly now.
Gu Lingyi was the typical "bully the soft, fear the hard" type.
The more you tolerated and indulged her, the less she respected you.
Conversely, she was somewhat restrained.
Though Liang Yi seemed gentle, slender, refined, unexpectedly, she was able to intimidate when necessary.
Indeed.
A woman who can abandon her biological daughter wouldn’t have a soft heart.
Looking at Liang Yi’s peach blossom eyes only made Jin Jumo feel colder.
Liang Yi sensed it, and she really felt insecure facing Jin Jumo.
Taking two deep breaths, Liang Yi looked at Jin Jumo, her smile stiffening at the corners of her mouth, "Momo, how have you been these years?"
How have I been?
Jin Jumo stared at Liang Yi, her eyes shining brightly, "Guess, how have I been these years?"
Jin Jumo had no doubt.
Four years ago, in that car accident, everyone thought she was already dead.
And she, her biological mother, perhaps doesn’t even know whether she’s dead or alive.
Where she is now, how she’s been living these years, she doesn’t care, doesn’t mind.
As long as she stays far away and doesn’t disturb her enviable life as a wealthy lady!
Jin Jumo, oh Jin Jumo, do you still have expectations of her?
Liang Yixin paused, guilt showing in her eyes, "Momo..."
"For someone like me, a white-eyed wolf who only cares about money, doesn’t Ms. Liang refuse to see me?"
Jin Jumo didn’t want to hear any more showy, utterly fake words.
Rather than this, she would prefer to hear nothing at all.
Liang Yi’s eyes flickered quickly, looking at Jin Jumo with tears ready to fall, "Are you blaming me for promising to arrange money for you but not doing it?"
Jin Jumo’s lips trembled slightly, looking at the pearl earrings on her ears, "If I’m not wrong, Ms. Liang, those earrings on your ears must be worth at least hundreds of thousands?"
"Hundreds of thousands?" Before Liang Yi could speak, Gu Lingyi stared disdainfully at Jin Jumo, sneering, "These earrings were a gift my daddy gave my mommy for their twentieth wedding anniversary, bought for two million."
Two million?
Jin Jumo nodded, "Mr. Gu truly loves Ms. Liang."
"..." Liang Yi frowned, handing the prepared check to Jin Jumo, "Momo, yesterday’s thirty million, I added five million, making it thirty-five million total, take it."
"Thirty-five million? Ms. Liang is so generous." Jin Jumo stared at the check in her hand, her tone light.
"Some of this money, I sold some jewelry to get..."
"If Ms. Liang is going to give it, why tell me this?" Jin Jumo raised her eyes, her gaze icy.
Liang Yi twitched the corners of her mouth, nodding, "Okay, I won’t say. Momo, you, you take it."
"Is Ms. Liang sure you want me to take it?" Jin Jumo looked at her, a slight curve appearing at the corner of her mouth.
Liang Yi was stunned, looking at Jin Jumo in confusion, not understanding why she suddenly asked this.
Gu Lingyi, however, could not wait, took the check from Liang Yi’s hand, and threw it at Jin Jumo, "Seeing so much money, you’ve long wanted to accept it, why pretend? I’ve never seen someone as hypocritical as you!"
The check slid from Jin Jumo’s chest to the ground, just a piece of paper, falling lightly at Jin Jumo’s feet.
Jin Jumo touched the spot on her chest, suddenly laughed, her eyes bright as stars, making people feel ashamed.
Liang Yi didn’t even dare to look at Jin Jumo’s eyes anymore.
Pressing her lips together, she was about to step forward to pick up the check.
Someone was faster, picking up the check.
That hand, with its elegant bones, long and beautiful.
Liang Yixin’s heart suddenly jumped, holding her breath, she looked up.
The man in her sight, an impressive height of 1.9 meters, wearing a cool-colored suit and coat, his extraordinary face cold and defined, with slightly dropped black long eyelashes, easily seen even in the dark night.
This man possessed a look and height that was envied by many, along with an innate cold and noble demeanor.
And this man was... Rong Mochen!
Seeing the suddenly appearing Rong Mochen, Gu Lingyi stared, shocked and frozen in place.
Jin Jumo, however, seemed not to see Rong Mochen, her expression indifferent.
The check twirled between two long and clean fingers.
A moment later.
Rong Mochen held the check, his dark eyes slowly lifting, without any emotion, staring at Liang Yi, "I’ll accept this kind gesture from Ms. Liang on behalf of Little Mo."
"..."
Jin Jumo lightly frowned.
Liang Yi was shocked, "Mo Chen..."
"I’ve met Ms. Liang a few times, but I don’t recall when I became this familiar with Ms. Liang?" Rong Mochen said coldly, his tone devoid of emotion.
It was precisely this tone that made his words, "we’re not that close," feel more genuine.
Embarrassment crossed Liang Yi’s face.
"Brother Mo Chen, how can you say that? We are already engaged, how can my mommy not be familiar with you?" Gu Lingyi looked at Rong Mochen hurt.
Rong Mochen coldly curled his lips, yet didn’t even glance at Gu Lingyi, his tone icy, "Engaged, are we?"
Changing his tone, raising his volume slightly, Rong Mochen said sharply, "Gu Yan, immediately inform all media in Z City, that my engagement with this Miss Gu is canceled."
Gu Yan looked at Gu Lingyi’s drastically changed expression, curling his lips, replying loudly, "Alright!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Lingyi retreated two steps, unable to control herself.
Liang Yi tightly gripped Gu Lingyi’s hand, panic flickering in her eyes, looking at Rong Mochen, her tone restrained, "The engagement between Mr. Rong and our Gu Family is known worldwide.
How long has it been, and Mr. Rong suddenly makes a unilateral statement canceling the engagement with the Gu Family, isn’t that too rash and frivolous?"
"What about it?"
While speaking, with a ripping sound, the check Rong Mochen was playing with was torn in half by his fingertips.
