Chapter 273 - With Interest
Lihua nodded. "I can understand. Ahhh, my mother-in-law is so great! She didn\'t deter the Old Madam and fought for her love!"
Yang Bingqing sadly smiled. "But that came with a huge price. She never stepped into the Jiang family and it was especially more hurtful because she had lost her parents when she was young."
Lihua widened her eyes and looked at Wei. He nodded.
"Mom stayed with some of her relatives and then she moved out after she completed high school. Then, she set up her flower and arts shop to start earning money."
"En," Yang Bingqing said, "That\'s why I admire her so much. Life was really difficult for her. She said that her relatives weren\'t so welcoming towards her to take her responsibility. So she left as quickly as she could to ease their burden. She had some savings when she left so she set up a shop to support herself. Because she lost her parents at a very young age, she always wished to have a complete family. She hoped that the family she would marry into one day would fill that gap in her life. But…"
Listening to Jiang Yubi\'s struggles brought tears to her eyes. She just wanted a happy family but even after marriage, she couldn\'t achieve that.
How lonely would she be feeling in that separate mansion…?
She snapped out of her stupor as Yang Bingqing softly held her hand. "That\'s why Lixue, I hope you could help her. Ever since you have stepped into the Jiang family, it is only changing for the better. You have given justice to Jiang Xiurang and Jiang Li and that isn\'t an easy feat to achieve. The wind is blowing in a new direction and once Jiang Yubi gets her place in the family, it will be complete. That and her dream too."
Lihua stared at her hand and gazed at her expression that was fixed at her, holding hope for Jiang Yubi.
She smiled. "You really like her, right?"
"Very," Yang Bingqing smiled. "She was the only one I could talk to without any inhibitions. Otherwise, the socialites in our world are too... let\'s say that it\'s tiring to be with their fake personalities. Jiang Yubi was the only honest and sincere soul among them who I could connect to. She was a breath of fresh air unlike those women who would only talk about status and shopping. I got to learn so many things from her way of living and most importantly, I admired her strength."
Her gaze dimmed. "But I couldn\'t do much to help her. Even if our families are close, Old Madam wouldn\'t allow us to interfere after a certain point."
She gently patted Wei\'s cheek. "That\'s also why Wei grew up to be so detached from emotions. There wasn\'t Jiang Yubi around him to teach him about feelings and his heart. Life has so many colors but Wei only lived a black and white life until now. It is heartbreaking for a mother and a child to stay away from each other."
Wei tilted his head and curiously looked at her, staring at him so emotionally.
As far as he remembered, he never felt that he missed Jiang Yubi. It was harsh and cruel but Old Madam had immersed him in the Underworld training so deeply that he didn\'t get any time to think about his mother.
By the time he grew more, he lost all his connection and simply didn\'t feel anything. He got used to not having her around.
Lihua put her hand on the back of hers and gently squeezed it. "You don\'t have to request me, Aunt. I was going to help Mom anyway. How will I bear seeing her living separately from us? Those painful and sad days are over now! It\'s time for Mom to come back and get the position and the title that she deserves."
Yang Bingqing\'s gaze turned a little misty. "Thank you Lixue…"
She sighed. "To be honest, I really wanted for Jiang Yubi to have a daughter. That way, I would have already set her up as Mingshen\'s future wife. My whole worries would have been resolved."
Lihua burst into laughter. "Haha so cute."
She whined. "It\'s not a laughing matter. I had bugged Jiang Weizhe so badly to have another child. But damn he was so stingy! After Wei was born, he had completely changed his attitude and even if I as such mentioned the topic, he would send death glares towards me. He even forbade me from meeting her for a whole month! Hmph! It\'s because of him that I am suffering right now with Mingshen!"
Lihua laughed even more. "I cannot help but find Dad so funny."
When they saw Jiang Li and Jiang Lanying coming towards them, Lihua eagerly asked, "So, so! How was it? Will Mingshen be able to help him?"
Jiang Lanying happily hugged her as she cried a little. "En. He has a way of removing that tumor and expelling the toxins too. It would take some time for him to get completely normal but it would definitely happen!"
Yang Bingqing clapped. "Aiyaaa that\'s such good news! My son is only useful in these situations."
"I am so happy for you!" Lihua hugged her back.
Jiang Li sneered. "Like hell we are happy! Do you even know how much he is charging us!? One eighty million Yuan! He said that he was going to take two hundred million but he gave us a \'discount\'," He gritted his teeth. "Fuck he is looting me! Just how crazy is that man for money!"
That man only spouts either insults or money from his mouth! Lihua grimaced.
Yang Bingqing burst into tears. "I am so sorry, dear. I cannot believe that Mingshen would charge you anything. Our families are no strangers, after all. I will tell him right now to take it back! Ah, where did I go wrong in raising my son?" She sobbed.
He smiled. "It\'s alright, Aunt. I will throw a whole three hundred million on his face for his \'help\'. The extra hundred will be my interest."
