I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Fang Mei was stunned, not knowing how to refute.

Jiang Huashan looked at Shen Zhuang's profile seriously. She had never felt so at peace before.

That's the feeling. Even if the whole world blames her, Grandpa will stand by her side. How foolish she was. How could she have lost such a good Grandpa?

Fang Mei finally couldn't hold it in any longer and looked at Jiang Huashan in panic, "Shanshan, please say something! How has your mother treated you in the past three years? Please say something."

Shen Zhuang raised his hand and stopped Fang Mei with his crutch, "Alright, don't embarrass the child."

He looked up and around, his eyes darting between everyone. "This room is so filthy and it's time to clean it up. Shen Zhi, please arrange for a few quick hands to clean Juyuan again tomorrow. Juyuan is not convenient for people to stay in during this period. Please arrange for Xiaofang to stay in the house in the bay for a few days and come back when Juyuan is clean."

Shen Zhi, "Yes, old man."

Are you trying to drive them away?

Fang Mei's hands and feet were cold and her face was pale. Jiang Wanyi's mind went blank. If her classmates at school knew that she was kicked out by the Shen family, they would definitely not associate with her anymore.

Shen Zhuang lowered his eyes and looked gently at Jiang Huashan beside him, "You should stay in Qinyuan with grandpa for a few days. I will send you to Xiangying after everything is arranged."

Jiang Huashan was overjoyed and nodded vigorously.

Shen Zhuang stood up, glanced at Fang Mei, and led Jiang Huashan to the door.

"Grandpa!" Fang Mei looked at Jiang Huashan eagerly with tears in her eyes. "Can you let me talk to Shanshan alone for a few words?"

Shen Zhuang hesitated slightly.

Fang Mei said, "Grandpa, you are teaching me that I was too confused before. But Shanshan is my child after all. She will be going to Xiangying soon. Please let me give her some advice."

Shen Zhuang lowered his head and looked at Jiang Huashan, who nodded. "Grandpa, I also want to say something to Mom."

"Grandpa is waiting for you outside"

Shen Zhuang was the first to walk out of the room, and Mrs. Liu and the others followed him out dejectedly under Shen Zhi's gaze.

Fang Mei patted Jiang Wanyi's shoulder and said, "Yiyi, you go out too."

Jiang Wanyi was a little surprised and unwilling but also did not dare to disobey.

Soon, Fang Mei and Jiang Huashan were the only ones left in the room.

Jiang Huashan smiled as if nothing had happened, "Mom, what do you want to tell me?"

Fang Mei's expression was cold as he looked her up and down. He felt that he had underestimated her, yet she could still laugh at this time.

"Shanshan, there are no outsiders here. Tell mom, did you do it on purpose?" It doesn't matter if she falls this time, but she must find out where she lost.

Jiang Huashan nodded, "Yes, I did it on purpose."

Fang Mei was stunned for a moment, because she didn't expect her to admit it so readily. However, Jiang Huashan's nonchalant attitude undoubtedly made her even more angry. Fang Mei was so angry that her hands were shaking. "Why?"

Jiang Huashan said, "No reason. I just want Mom to understand something. You want to take advantage of me, but you don't want to be nice to me. There's no such thing as a cheap deal in the world, not even between biological mother and daughter."

Fang Mei didn't expect Jiang Huashan to give such an answer. She was stunned. The girl in front of her made her feel unfamiliar and even scared.

"Shanshan, is there any misunderstanding here? Did someone tell you something?"

Jiang Huashan shook her head. "There's no misunderstanding. Compared to what you've done, Mom, I'm already being very merciful by just kicking you out of Shen Garden. That's all I have to say. Mom, take care of yourself."

She took a step back and turned around without hesitation.

In her previous life, she was driven out of Shen Garden by Shen Lanxi and scorned by the celebrities of Jinggang. Fang Mei only said these four words to her, "Take care of yourself."

It turns out that no matter how deep the feelings are, once enough disappointments have accumulated, they can be easily given up.

"Shanshan!" Fang Mei's eyes were filled with resentment. "Do you really think you can survive in Shen Garden on your own? The old man has so many children, and every one of them is not related to him by blood? Without me to protect you, do you really think that relying solely on your grandmother's kindness can let you rest easy?"

Jiang Huashan paused, turned his head, and raised his eyes slightly, "Of course."

Mom underestimated grandma and grandpa too much. People of their generation guarded their promises with their lives, so grandpa never gave up on raising her well until the moment he died.

Fang Mei was frightened by the extremely indifferent look. In her memory, her daughter was stupid and timid, and she could not say such words at all.

Jiang Huashan didn't want to get entangled with Fang Mei anymore, so she pushed the door open and walked out. She and Fang Mei had already broken up once before, so this time she was very calm.

She remained expressionless as she walked down the stairs until she saw Shen Zhuang waiting for her under the moonlight, leaning on a cane. The old man smiled and waved at her. Suddenly, her eyes warmed up and she trotted forward, "Grandpa."

Shen Zhuang held her hand and said, "Let's go home with grandpa."

Under the moonlight, two shadows, one long and one short, stretched longer and longer, seemingly overlapping with the moonlight in a remote town three years ago...

Winter Garden.

Shen Jiao was wearing silk pajamas, leaning on the railing of the terrace, with a half-burned cigarette butt between her fingers.

Feng Ma pushed the door open and came in. She was stunned for a moment, then very naturally took the cigarette from her hand and extinguished it. "Miss, please be careful. If Suier sees this, he'll learn bad habits again."

Shen Jiao had long regarded Feng Ma as a family member, and was not angry at her behavior at all. Instead, she pinched the bridge of her nose and explained with a smile, "I couldn't sleep, so I smoked for fun. Is Sui'er asleep?"

Aunt Feng took out a silk handkerchief from her bosom, wrapped it around the cigarette several times, and held it in her hand. "Just went to bed. Miss, there was quite a commotion in the Ju Garden just now."

Shen Jiao glanced at Feng Ma, "What's going on?"

Aunt Feng stepped forward and lowered her voice a bit, "Miss Jiang made a big fuss, and Fang Mei and that little girl were kicked out of Shen Garden by the old man."

Shen Jiao was stunned for a moment and looked at Feng Ma in surprise. Feng Ma came closer and whispered a few words to her, and Shen Jiao immediately looked at her with contempt.

"I've told you before that woman is short-sighted, but..." Her gaze deepened, as if she were thinking, "Did Jiang Huashan's grandmother save our old man's life? She's too spoiled."

"Mother……"

Just then, a slightly childish voice interrupted their conversation. Shen Jiao and Feng Ma were both stunned and looked towards the master bedroom. Fu Sui'er walked in barefoot at some point.

Feng Ma trotted into the room, picked up the blanket from the bed frame and covered her feet with it. "My dear little ancestor, this room is air-conditioned. How can you go barefoot? What if you catch a cold?"

Fu Suier raised his eyes and looked at Shen Jiao, "Mom, I can't sleep? Can I sleep with you tonight?"

Shen Jiao was a little surprised. Her daughter had rarely been this close to her since she entered junior high school. Naturally, she wouldn't refuse and nodded. "Okay." As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something and walked towards the bathroom. "You go to sleep first, I'll come over later."

Feng Ma understood tacitly and went forward to make the bed. Fu Sui'er suddenly pulled her sleeve and asked, "Grandma, does your waist still hurt?"

The old woman froze for a moment, tears streaming down her face. She thought she was hallucinating and looked at Fu Suer in disbelief. "Suer, what did you call me just now?"

Fu Suier felt a little awkward, so he jumped onto the bed and covered his head with the quilt. "Nothing, go back to sleep."

Mother Feng wiped her tears and walked out of the room silently.

In fact, Fu Sui'er was very close to Feng Ma when she was a child. Ever since she could remember, there was a fat, dark, and not very good-looking smiling face in her mind.

She didn't call her Feng Ma before, always calling her Grandma. She didn't remember when she changed her name, but she remembered her aunt telling her that Feng Ma was just the family's nanny, who would do anything as long as she was paid, and that she would be laughed at if she kept calling her nanny Grandma.

Later, Shen Jiao specifically asked her about it, and she pointed at Feng Ma and said, "Auntie said she is our family's servant."

Shen Jiao's face changed immediately, and she poured wine on her sister-in-law at a family dinner the next day. Later, Feng's mother moved back to Shen Garden.

Fu Sui'er lifted the quilt and watched Feng Ma's short and fat figure disappear through the crack in the door. She let out a depressed sigh.

So...was what Jiang Huashan said true? Would Feng Ma really die because of her?
