The other guests and the bullet - screen were all taken aback.
[What's going on? Is Jiang Zhi from this village?]
[Then why haven't we seen Jiang Zhi's biological mother in the village?]
[Did she go to work?]
[Jiang Zhi is already in the entertainment industry. Does her mother still need to work?]
"Grandpa Chen, long time no see. How have you been recently?" Jiang Zhi stepped forward and, with a smile, helped Grandpa Chen to the main table.
"Not bad, just the same old way."
Grandpa Chen nodded, then his eyes fell on Jiang Miaomiao. "Hey, this girl looks kind of familiar to me."
Jiang Zhi said meaningfully, "She's the baby who was switched with me back then. She grew up in the village. Grandpa Chen, you should remember her, right?"
Hearing this, those grandmas and aunts all gathered around. "You're that girl from Xu Cuilan's family? Oh my, it's been two years, and this girl has changed so much. I didn't even recognize her."
"Yes, she's become much fairer and prettier."
The trolls arranged by Jiang Zhi immediately took the opportunity.
[What does that mean? Could Jiang Miaomiao have had plastic surgery?]
[I've always thought her face looked strange. It's pretty, but not natural at all. So she had plastic surgery.]
[I still prefer Jiang Zhi's looks. She clearly has a natural face.]
[Jiang Miaomiao is so vain. She's only twenty or twenty - one, right? Going for plastic surgery at such a young age. She's really vain!]
[Are you singing an opera upstairs? How can you be so sure Jiang Miaomiao had plastic surgery?]
"Grandpa Chen, please have a seat." Jiang Zhi enthusiastically pulled out a chair for Grandpa Chen, and when her hand touched his arm, she subtly pinched him.
Grandpa Chen exclaimed and quickly asked, "Hey, where's your mom, Cuilan? She hasn't come back to the village in the past two years. Is she enjoying a good life with you?"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhi lowered her eyes sadly, her voice trembling. "My mom... because of some things... she's in prison."
The guests were stunned.
What did "in prison" mean?
"What! Cuilan is in prison?" Grandpa Chen feigned surprise.
Jiang Zhi sniffled and sobbed. "Grandpa Chen, you know, I and..."
She said, glancing at Jiang Miaomiao. "Miaomiao and I were switched by accident back then. Although we both found our biological mothers two years ago, there are still some misunderstandings between Miaomiao's family and my mom. My mom is just an ordinary rural woman, and she ended up in prison like this, without any clear reason."
The people around gasped.
What did this mean?
[Jiang Zhi is saying that the Jiang family sent her mom to prison?]
[No way. The Jiang family is too much. She didn't break the law, yet they, relying on their power, sent an ordinary civilian with no background to prison. How hateful!]
Seeing the strange looks from everyone around falling on Jiang Miaomiao, a flash of triumph quickly passed through Jiang Zhi's eyes.
Then she slowly walked up to Jiang Miaomiao, almost to the point of bowing and scraping. "Sister Miaomiao, none of us wanted the baby - switching incident to happen back then. My mom is just a rural woman. Maybe she couldn't provide you with good material conditions when you were a child, but she really raised you as her own daughter. Can't you let her go for the sake of your years of affection?"
As she spoke, she pretended to kneel down. "I'm begging you..."
Gu Beichen, his face full of heartache, pulled her up. "Zhizhi, why didn't you tell me about your mom's matter earlier?"
"I... I didn't want to trouble you."
"What trouble? You're my woman, Gu Beichen's woman. I won't allow you to be bullied by other women."
As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Miaomiao domineeringly. "Don't think your Jiang family can cover the sky with one hand. My Gu family won't let this go!"
Jiang Zhi's trolls started to stir things up.
[Gu Beichen is so cool, protecting his wife so domineeringly!]
[Did Jiang Miaomiao really send her adoptive mother to prison? She's such an ungrateful person.]
[Exactly. They were mother - daughter for eighteen years. As soon as she returned to the wealthy family, she sent her adoptive mother to prison. Even a dog would be grateful.]
[Yes. Although the adoptive mother's conditions were poor, it's understandable. She also wanted to raise her own child. You can't blame the adoptive mother for the accident. Why doesn't Jiang Miaomiao blame her own mother for not taking good care of her when she was born?]
[It's too much. I can't believe there's such a dark side in modern society.]
From beginning to end, Jiang Miaomiao didn't say a word, just smiling faintly.
Mrs. Fu, seeing her like this, was a bit worried. "Miaomiao, don't be afraid. You have me backing you up."
[What does Mrs. Fu mean? Is she going to stand up for Jiang Miaomiao?]
[It seems the Fu family is no good either. Do they think they can deal with ordinary people as they like just because they're rich?]
There were a lot of people watching the live - stream, mostly passers - by.
Passers - by are prone to following the trend. Stirred up by the trolls, they also believed that Jiang Miaomiao was a heartless person who sent her adoptive mother to prison.
"Zhizhi, don't worry. I'll call my assistant later and ask him to hire the best lawyer to fight for your mom!" Gu Beichen put his arm around Jiang Zhi's shoulder, speaking in an overbearing - president tone.
Hearing this, Jiang Miaomiao sneered. "Are you going to help that child - abusing criminal fight a lawsuit?"
Jiang Zhi immediately furrowed her brows. "What nonsense are you talking? When did my mom abduct or abuse children? This is clearly a lie you made up to send her to prison!"
Then, she looked at Grandpa Chen and the other villagers. "Grandpa Chen, and all the grandmas and aunts, my mom has lived in this village for so many years. Tell me, has she ever abused children?"
Grandpa Chen took a puff of his old cigarette and shook his head. "I think that bitch of yours should have been sent in earlier. I even think prison is too lenient for her!"
?
Jiang Zhi was stunned.
What was this old guy talking about?
Hadn't he already taken her money?
The on - looking passers - by were also dumbfounded.
[Ah? What's going on?]
[This is getting more and more interesting.]
Grandpa Chen put down his cigarette, stood up, and took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it over. "Here's your bank card. You gave me five hundred thousand yuan to make me lie with my eyes open. What do you take me, Old Chen, for? Some money - grubbing person?"
Jiang Zhi's eyes widened, and she pushed the card away in a fit of anger. "What nonsense! When did I give you money?"
At this moment, a grandma suddenly stood up and pointed at Jiang Zhi, scolding. "You're so mean! You gave Old Chen five hundred thousand yuan, but only gave us two thousand yuan. How can you be so heartless?"
Ah?
The guests were left dumbstruck.
Jiang Zhi gritted her teeth. "You're talking nonsense! I don't even know you. Why would I give you money?"
Damn it, what was wrong with these old people!
Jiang Miaomiao sneered. "You don't know them? Weren't you calling Grandpa Chen so affectionately just now?"
