When Su Jiaojiao stood at the door, she heard Liu Dongmei say, “You don’t have to tell us that. Your father and I already had this plan. Before we knew about the three-day cooling-off period, we intended to send her to the most remote countryside to suffer as soon as the money was withdrawn. The timing was also three days later. It’s still the same now.
The bank didn’t specify that the person concerned must be present during this three-day cooling-off period.
Three days later, we can still send her to the countryside.”
Shen Qingyu’s eyes lit up, filled with excitement and thrill. She asked, “Mom, are you selling her to a poor, old, and disabled man? In my opinion, Su Jiaojiao only deserves that kind of treatment to relieve the hatred I’ve held for over ten years.
Why was she born as the Su Family’s young lady, so high and mighty? Why can she openly be Dad’s daughter, while I can only be a stepdaughter, even though we are both Dad’s daughters?
Why do we have to coax and deceive a person like her who has lost her birth mother, pretending to be friendly and loving in front of her? It’s utterly disgusting.
A cheap person like her should be paired with the ugliest and most useless man?”
Seeing the anger and hatred in Shen Qingyu’s eyes, Liu Dongmei comforted her, “Yu’er, from now on, we don’t have to pretend anymore. You can treat her however you want, and your father and I will take care of any consequences.”
Shen Qingyu said loudly, “Mom, when she comes back, let’s tie her up, okay?”She wanted to take revenge on Su Jiaojiao fiercely—whip her with a braid, make her kneel in chili water, and even put a dog leash on her, making her crawl on her knees like a dog begging at her feet.” That would be so satisfying.
Liu Dongmei smiled and agreed, “Okay.”She glanced at the clock on the wall and frowned slightly, ‘It’s already five o’clock, and that little bitch hasn’t come back yet.’ Could she be staying at the Luo Family and not returning?”
“Mom, what should we do then?”Shen Qingyu asked puzzledly, ‘Mom, who is that old man Luo?” Why do you all seem so afraid of him?”
Liu Dongmei said, “That’s the head of the Luo Family, one of the four major families in Hu City. The Luo Family’s descendants are either in politics or the military, with a few in business. If their family stomps their foot in Hu City, the whole city trembles three times. Our family of three plans to develop in Hong Kong City, but this must be kept secret; otherwise, we could all be arrested.”That dead old man is that powerful?””
Shen Qingyu was very surprised, then envy flashed in her eyes. She cursed angrily,
“That bitch Su Jiaojiao, why is she so lucky to gain that dead old man’s favor?” That dead old man almost stopped that cheap person from signing the power of attorney.
Fortunately, that fool has been deceived by us since childhood and has become very naive, trusting only us and not that dead old man. Otherwise, our over-ten-year plan might have fallen through.”
“Exactly,” Liu Dongmei said with a smile. “When she was talking with the old man Luo next door, your father and I were on edge.” Luckily, this fool really believes we are good to her and actually persuaded that dead old man to agree to sign the power of attorney. Otherwise, we would have had to put in more effort to trick her into signing it.”
Shen Qingyu’s eyes rolled as she asked curiously, “Mom, will our family really live a good life in Hong Kong City?”
Liu Dongmei said, “Your father has made thorough inquiries. Hong Kong City is a very prosperous metropolis where the residents are either wealthy or noble. However, for mainlanders to go to Hong Kong City, their net worth must reach at least one hundred thousand.”
“In the future, when we arrive in Hong Kong City, any man we randomly pick will likely be a wealthy individual with a net worth of at least one hundred thousand.”
“With our Xiaoyu’s beautiful face and excellent figure, won’t there be plenty of outstanding young talents from prominent families for us to choose from?”
At this point, Liu Dongmei asked seriously, “Yu’er, did that Song Xiangdong come looking for you today? Let me tell you, since our family of three is going to Hong Kong City, we should completely cut off relations with the Song family. Otherwise, if we continue to interact with them and any clues are revealed, it will only bring trouble. Understand?”
Shen Qingyu shook her mother’s sleeve and said, “Yes, Mom, I understand. Don’t worry, from now on, I will resolutely not have any contact with Song Xiangdong. Even if he comes looking for me, I won’t meet him.”
“Hmph, that’s good.” Liu Dongmei glanced at the clock again. “It’s almost dark. We need to go find that little wretch. No matter what, we must keep her under our watch for these three days to feel at ease.”
“Okay, Mom, I’ll go with you.”
Just as Liu Dongmei and Shen Qingyu opened the door, they saw Su Jiaojiao about to open it.
Liu Dongmei immediately spoke in a sarcastic tone, “Oh, has the Shen family’s young lady finally decided to come back? I thought since you’ve climbed the high branch of the Luo Family, you’d forgotten about coming home.”
Su Jiaojiao’s face showed shock, and she asked in great surprise, “Stepmother, why… why would you say that about me?”
Liu Dongmei’s attitude had changed too quickly between before and after.
Hmph, she really thought that just because she signed the power of attorney, everything would be fine. So now, she couldn’t even be bothered to pretend in front of her.
Shen Qingyu crossed her arms, a mocking expression on her face. “Heh, what did we say about you? Su Jiaojiao, do you really think of yourself as some lofty young lady?”
“Let me tell you the truth. The only reason my mother was kind to you and took care of you was for the money in your hands. The money in your hands, understand?”
“Now that you’ve signed the power of attorney, you have no more use. Why should my mother bother being nice to you?”
Hearing these words, Su Jiaojiao’s beautiful and delicate face showed an expression of disbelief. She looked at Liu Dongmei and asked, “Stepmother, is this true?”
Liu Dongmei, completely changing from her previous friendly and kind demeanor, now had a very hostile attitude. Hatred showed in her eyes as she said,
“Su Jiaojiao, if it weren’t for the huge fortune your mother left you, who would be willing to pretend in front of you? Do you know that every time I see your face, which looks almost exactly like that bitch your mother’s, I dream every night of scratching your face to pieces.”
“Twenty years ago, why did that old man Su Qiaoshan have to choose Shen Jianguo to be his live-in son-in-law? At that time, Shen Jianguo and I were already engaged in our hometown.”
“As a result, that old man chose him, and we had to separate. At that time, we were expecting our first child—a boy—but because of this matter, I was so angry that I had a miscarriage, yet we could only hide it secretly.”
“Why was it that back then, you rich people could do whatever you wanted, stealing someone else’s husband as if it were completely justified?”
“I hate Su Qiaoshan, I hate Su Yingxue, I hate every member of the Su Family. Su Jiaojiao, do you know how many days and nights I’ve stood by your bedside, wanting to strangle you to death?”
Su Jiaojiao asked in disbelief, “You and Shen Jianguo were engaged twenty years ago? How is that possible? When my grandfather selects people, he definitely investigates thoroughly. How could he have missed your relationship?”
“Wait, if you and Shen Jianguo were engaged, if Shen Jianguo didn’t want to marry my mother, he could have simply refused. My grandfather would never force anyone against their will. Why didn’t Shen Jianguo refuse, and why did he conceal his relationship with you?”
