reignition

Jiang Mian originally thought things wouldn't be done so quickly.

But Gong Yan had been working hard for several years, and she handled things very efficiently, working overtime non-stop.

The complaint was immediately submitted.

The news quickly reached Lu Bozhou's parents, who were immediately furious.

But when they found Lu Bozhou, he seemed too busy with official business to care about the matter.

Yan Ke and Lu Hong were furious.

A stepmother who started as a nanny wants to fight her biological father, a CEO, for custody of her child?! That's absurd!

The two of them immediately exposed the matter, causing a huge uproar in Los Angeles.

After all, this is quite unbelievable to normal people.

Let's set aside the question of why a stepmother would fight with the biological father for custody.

There have been such cases before, but they usually involve fathers mistreating their children, and stepmothers couldn't stand it anymore.

But this stepmother only has a nanny, while the biological father is a big boss. How can a stepmother who is just a nanny treat a child well?

Is their quality of life even a problem?

Even though there's an old saying, it's better to follow a beggar mother than a high-ranking official father.

She has to be the biological mother, right? What is this stepmother trying to do?

Jiang Mian was unaware that Yan Ke and Lu Hong had leaked the information.

But just because she didn't know doesn't mean the Jiang family didn't know.

That morning, she was just about to take Little Stone to kindergarten.

Song Wan and Jiang Shan went straight to her doorstep, with Jiang Yu standing behind them.

Jiang Mian was taken aback.

She pursed her lips, the words "Mom and Dad" already on the tip of her tongue, but she was afraid of sounding too abrupt.

Song Wan stared at her, her eyes reddening, unable to utter a single word.

Jiang Shan walked up, gently patted her shoulder, and called out, "Mianmian..."

Jiang Mian felt her throat tighten, as if she might burst into tears at any moment.

Song Wan's voice was choked and hoarse as she reached out and tightly grasped Jiang Mian's hand. "Come on, let's go home. Come home with us first."

Jiang Mian didn't think much of it. Her parents called her home, and their words were always heartwarming, no matter the time.

She nodded, took Lu Chaochi's hand, and got into her parents' car.

On the way to her parents' house, Jiang Mian was filled with anxiety, so much so that she was preoccupied with trying to figure out her parents' feelings that she didn't pay much attention to anything else.

On the contrary, Lu Chaochi had a sharp eye and said, "Huh? Why does it look like there's a car following us?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, frowned and turned to Jiang Yu, who was driving, and said, "Shake them off."

"Sit still." Jiang Yu's gaze darkened.

The luxury car's engine emitted a deep roar.

Lu Chaochi gripped the seatbelt in front of him and whispered, "Wow, this is so exciting."

Jiang Mian, even though she had previously thought that her parents came to pick her up simply because they wanted to take her home.

They've already realized that things are probably not that simple.

She originally wanted to ask Jiang Yu directly, but she was afraid it would affect his driving.

What a joke! The whole family is in this car. If anything happens to them, they're all doomed.

Jiang Mian could only grab Song Wan's hand tightly and ask in a low voice, "Mom, what exactly happened?"

Song Wan was stunned and didn't come to her senses for a long time.

Jiang Mian's sudden outburst of "Mom!" in that moment of panic completely stunned Song Wan.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Jiang Mian asked again, "What happened?"

Song Wan looked at her with red eyes before saying, "The Lu family found out about your attempt to compete with Lu Bozhou. You know what kind of people Yan Ke and Lu Hong are; how could they let this go? They'll definitely target you."

"That's why we came to pick you up early this morning, so that Yan Ke and Lu Hong wouldn't cause you any trouble," Jiang Shan added.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mian frowned slightly and glanced back.

Looking at the relentlessly pursuing car.

Jiang Mian looked up at Jiang Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, stop being so impulsive."

“But sister…” Jiang Yu frowned.

“Our whole family is on this bus. Think about it, is it worth arguing with them?” Jiang Mian said.

Hearing this, Jiang Yu's brows remained furrowed, but he eased off the accelerator, and the car gradually slowed down.

Finally, following Jiang Mian's instructions, they stopped directly on the roadside not far from their residential area.

After the car stopped, the car that had been relentlessly chasing them quickly slid up behind them and stopped as well.

The back door opened quickly, and Yan Ke and Lu Hong immediately got out of the car.

Jiang Mian also got out of the car. Before getting out, she told her parents, "You don't need to get out. Just wait for me in the car with Xiao Shitou. I'll talk to them for a bit and then I'll be there."

“But…” Song Wan hesitated, her brows furrowed, her face full of unease.

My daughter was tormented to death by the Lu family couple in her past life...

She suffered so much injustice for so long! Her parents only learned about those injustices, and even some of the details, after her death.

Having finally gotten another chance, how could they bear to see their daughter suffer such injustice again?

Song Wan couldn't sit still any longer and wanted to get out of the car.

But Jiang Yu persuaded his parents, saying, "She is different from before."

Song Wan paused, but she understood perfectly well what was going on.

Indeed, Jiang Mian, in the past, remained silent and forbearing, and never managed to divorce Lu Bozhou until her death.

But Jiang Mian now makes a resolute and decisive decision to divorce.

It is indeed different now.

Song Wan gritted her teeth, "I didn't plan to go down, I just... I'll open the window a crack and listen to what they're saying."

Jiang Mian got out of the car and stood on the curb next to it, watching Yan Ke and Lu Hong walk up aggressively.

"Jiang Mian! How dare you! You actually tried to steal my grandson?!"

Yan Ke walked up and raised her hand to slap Jiang Mian!

Jiang Mian grabbed her wrist.

“Mrs. Lu, Little Stone is in the car. Are you going to make a move? I’m only stopping you this once. Have you thought it through?”

Yan Ke's expression froze.

It means that if he were to attack her again, she would no longer stop or resist him.

Yan Ke gritted her teeth, her voice almost squeezed out from between her teeth, "Do you think I wouldn't dare to hit you!"

Jiang Mian had already let go of his hand, looking completely at ease.

Yan Ke gritted her teeth, feeling extremely angry, and was about to hit him again.

She was subdued again, but this time it wasn't Jiang Mian who subdued her, but Lu Hong who was standing next to her.

Although Lu Hong's expression was also not good, he still remained rational.

He whispered to Yan Ke, "Alright, she's already filed a lawsuit. If we take action against her, it will only make things worse for the lawsuit."

Yan Ke could only withdraw her hand, glaring hatefully at Jiang Mian.

Lu Hong stared coldly at Jiang Mian, "We're here to tell you, don't think that's the end of it. You think everything will be fine just because you have the Jiang family as your backer?"

Lu Hong's voice was filled with a chilling warning, "If you want to fight the Lu family, you'd better pray that you're tough enough!"

Jiang Mian also gave a cold smirk, raised her eyebrows, and her eyes were filled with chilling coldness.

She retorted with a somber tone, "What? Do you think I'm going to let you kill me twice?"
