Jiang Mian had previously confessed to Zhan Meng why she had ended up where she was today.

Zhan Meng has always protected her. When the others in the dormitory isolated her, Zhan Meng stood up to them head-on.

I've never been a coward.

At this moment, there was no need for formalities when facing Mu Xiaomei.

She will naturally respect elders who deserve respect.

She has no respect for those who don't respect their elders. She's already given them face.

When Mu Xiaomei heard Zhan Meng's words, her face immediately turned ugly.

She initially felt somewhat guilty towards Jiang Mian...

Or rather, after Jiang Mian's attitude towards her became somewhat unsettling.

She did feel somewhat guilty towards Jiang Mian.

But upon hearing Zhan Meng's words, Mu Xiaomei's first reaction was to blame Jiang Mian.

"You brat, why do you tell everyone everything?! It's been so long, how can you be like this? Holding a grudge against your parents like this?"

Jiang Mian didn't feel much when she heard this.

I just wanted to laugh.

She didn't know if any lingering resentment from the original owner remained in this body.

If so, she really felt sorry for the original owner.

Jiang Mian silently said to the original owner in her heart.

"So, it was never your fault. Jiang Mian, you did nothing wrong. You did very well, you tried your best, and you did everything you could. I hope your next chapter in life will be fulfilling, wonderful, and without regrets."

When Zhan Meng heard Mu Xiaomei's words, she immediately became furious.

"Hey, you still have the nerve to talk back? You did something wrong, and you don't even want others to talk about it? If you hadn't wanted to betray Jiang Mian, would Jiang Mian have had to take a year off from school just to please your gambling husband?"

"You really love your gambling husband so much, you even came all the way to Luocheng after you couldn't find him. The problem is, if you love him so much, why did you have to sacrifice Jiang Mian?"

Zhan Meng's voice came out in rapid succession.

Mu Xiaomei's face turned red and then white, looking terribly ugly.

She hadn't read many books, wasn't very cultured, and couldn't articulate any profound truths.

Then the voice grew louder, "She's our daughter! What's wrong with taking a few coins from her?! We even gave her our life!"

"She holds a grudge against her parents, and she thinks she's right? And who do you think you are, spouting nonsense here!"

"Enough!" Jiang Mian snapped, interrupting Mu Xiaomei. "This has nothing to do with my friend. What exactly do you want?"

Jiang Mian asked in a cold voice.

Mu Xiaomei chuckled, and at this moment, her face no longer had the usual simple and honest look.

Jiang Mian even felt that the expression on Mu Xiaomei's face at this moment was exactly the same as the expression on Jiang Da's face usually.

"I saw you get into a fancy car last time. I had no idea what good things you were learning in school."

When Jiang Mian heard Mu Xiaomei say this, she could see a very clear look of disdain in her eyes.

It's that kind of disdain, like seeing something dirty.

It's like a deep-seated disdain or contempt.

Jiang Mian almost laughed.

"That's not how I taught you growing up. Did I teach you to live a normal life, or to make money off men?!" Mu Xiaomei sneered again.

Jiang Mian looked at her and said, "It's better than you letting your man earn my money, right? You don't need to look down on me."

“If a normal life is like yours, where you get three small beatings a day and a full beating every three days, then I’d rather be abnormal,” Jiang Mian said.

These words seemed to have completely enraged Mu Xiaomei.

The middle-aged woman who worked in agriculture had an extremely strong grip. She jumped up and slapped Jiang Mian across the face!

"Hey, what are you doing!" Zhan Meng exclaimed in surprise!

Jiang Mian felt a force push her away slightly.

The next second, a crisp sound suddenly rang out!

Snapped!

However, Jiang Mian did not feel any pain, and she looked at Zhan Meng in shock.

Zhan Meng covered her face, her body unsteady, and she staggered back a few steps.

Someone helped Zhan Meng from behind.

"Are you alright?" Song Xun asked.

Lu Bozhou was already standing next to Jiang Mian, restraining Mu Xiaomei's still raised hand with one hand.

Jiang Mian's expression was still somewhat shocked.

She stared intently at Zhan Meng and saw the red finger marks slowly appearing on Zhan Meng's fair cheek.

Jiang Mian felt that this matter was a bit absurd and incredibly ironic.

Sure enough, you can't sleep in the same bed with two different kinds of people.

As for Mu Xiaomei, she probably felt that there was no point in trying anymore, since things had already come to this point.

She said in a defiant tone, "I don't care, you're all grown up now! You've even learned how to make money off men. Give me some money, and once the family has money, your dad will naturally come back!"

"Besides, Xiaofeng needs money for school! Shouldn't you, as her older sister, help out? Do you think we raised you for nothing?"

"Logically, you should go back to your hometown for arranged marriages and bring back a dowry to us when you reach a certain age! Since you don't want to go back, then give me the money!"

Jiang Mian stood still, looking at her indifferently. Her eyes were almost devoid of light, staring at Mu Xiaomei with a very dark expression.

Lu Bozhou looked down and saw her gaze, clicked his tongue, and casually pulled Jiang Mian behind him.

Her voice was indifferent. "Never mind, I'll do it."

Looking at the tall man in front of her, Mu Xiaomei felt inexplicably uneasy.

"You, you..." Mu Xiaomei's lips trembled.

This man is clearly very handsome and has an air of nobility.

But Mu Xiaomei felt a chill in her heart.

What's more, this handsome man was smiling at that moment.

What a smile it was! It was as if it had just emerged from an ice cave.

It sends chills down my spine!

Lu Bozhou reached out his hand to Song Xun, who then handed him his phone.

Lu Bozhou's attitude and demeanor even seemed mild.

He even bent down slightly to accommodate Mu Xiaomei's height.

He moved closer to Mu Xiaomei.

Song Xun walked to Jiang Mian's side and said softly, "Madam, let's get in the car first. Your classmate's face also needs an ice pack."

Jiang Mian nodded and accompanied Zhan Meng into the car.

Mu Xiaomei watched as Jiang Mian turned and left, leaving her alone to face the man whose smile sent chills down her spine.

Mu Xiaomei panicked a little and was about to turn around and call out to Jiang Mian.

But Lu Bozhou stuck out a finger and pressed it against his temple.

He simply reached out and pressed his hand against Mu Xiaomei's temple, preventing her from turning her head to call Jiang Mian.

But Mu Xiaomei had a strange feeling, as if a gun was pointed at her temple, which was terrifying!

And the devil's whispers still echoed in my ears.

"Didn't you want to know where your husband went? Hmm?"

A phone screen was thrust in front of her. "Here it is."

Mu Xiaomei saw Jiang Da's image on her phone screen.

On the screen, Jiang Da seems to be locked up somewhere—is it a hospital room? Or somewhere else?

Before Mu Xiaomei could investigate further, she heard this devilish man pick up another phone and dial a number.

He instructed the person on the other end, "Make some noise for him; someone here wants to see." [Seven Seven is asking for favorites and votes! It's so hot, it's unbearable!]
