Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Your Marriage Partner Has Run Away
“What is this attitude?” Jiang Yueping was so angry he wanted to hit soone, he looked around but couldn’t find a suitable tool, so he simply loosened the belt around his waist.
He raised the belt, threatening, “You try yelling again? Seems like no one has taught you in twenty years, do you even know what filial piety is? Your mother went through ten months of hard labor to give birth to you, only to have this thing co out?”
“There is an old saying: If you are born but not raised, cutting off a finger can repay the obligation! It ans, since you gave birth to
but didn’t raise , cutting off one of my fingers would be enough to repay my debt,” Jiang Man said coldly, her face taut with a murderous look.
She strode over to the dining table, picked up the fruit knife from the fruit plate, “Just one finger, and after that, we will owe each other nothing!”
“Oh no!” Hu Fangqin was terrified upon seeing this.
Though she had not spent much ti with her biological daughter, she was well aware of her temperant.
Her biological daughter was a tough character; if she said she would cut off a finger, she really would do it.
But cutting off a finger would be useless for them!
A living person in hand, that’s where the real value lies.
They had only just found their daughter; if they severed relations now, wouldn’t all the pretense in front of caras have been a waste of effort?
Furthermore, they had brought their biological daughter back to solve problems, not to create them.
“Stop, stop, Manman, let’s be calm!” Hu Fangqin quickly tried to diate, glaring at her husband, “Why must you push Manman? Can’t we discuss things peacefully? Manman is the child I carried for ten months, and blood is thicker than water. How can you bear it?”
“Manman, let’s put down the fruit knife and talk,” Hu Fangqin walked up to Jiang Man, persuading her gently, “Your dad is just desperate. How about you listen to Mom for a solution, all right?”
Jiang Man was really ready to cut off her finger, her eyes red, exuding a fierce aura.
Seeing this, Jiang Yueping finally eased his bad temper, “Your mom is right, we are bound by blood, can’t we talk nicely?”
Only then did Jiang Man put down the fruit knife, her attitude icy, “Speak, what’s the solution?”
“Here’s the deal, let your husband pay 1.76 million as the dowry, and we’ll return Yang Ge’s 880,000 as the betrothal gift. What do you think?”
“1.76 million?” Jiang Man was shocked by the figure.
Hu Fangqin imdiately tried to appease her with a laugh, “Yes, 1.76 million, we return the 880,000 to Yang Ge, and we’re left with 880,000, not bad at all.”
Jiang Man laughed hearing this; she actually thought her birth mother had the thick blood of kinship in her heart, but it turned out it was still a calculation.
That 1.76 million was small money for her, but she ca back to the country to recognize her relatives without telling her adoptive father.
If she used the black card given by her adoptive father, he would definitely find out about the whole affair.
Her adoptive father had graced her with a new life, she didn’t want to trouble him with repaying her birth parents anymore, she wanted to rely on herself.
“1.76 million is impossible. 880,000 is what I’ll give you, and consider it repaynt for giving birth to . From now on, I will no longer go by the na Jiang Man!”
Her adoptive father was Jin Lisite; she was originally nad Man Lisite.
This Jiang surna had only been hers recently; it was just as well to be rid of it.
“Manman, what do you an by always talking about severing ties?” Hu Fangqin feigned ignorance.
Jiang Man didn’t bother pretending anymore, and shoved her hands in her pockets, “One minute to decide. If you don’t agree, then forget about the 880,000 too!”
“You…” Jiang Yueping burst into rage, his hand gripping the belt, ready to strike, “It seems today I really must fulfill a father’s duties and teach you how to be a human!”
He raised his belt and fiercely swung it toward Jiang Man.
Jiang Man stood unflinchingly but with quick reflexes, she caught the belt with her bare hands and flung it with force.
Jiang Yueping was taken aback, the belt flinging out of his hand and unintentionally hitting Jiang Rou as well as himself.
“Ah…” Jiang Rou cried out in pain.
Jiang Yueping had not regained his senses, having endured a lash.
Jiang Man threw the belt onto the coffee table, causing the glass to shatter.
“3…”
“2…”
She counted down the ti.
Seeing this, Hu Fangqin hurriedly called out, “We agree! We agree!”
“Good!” Jiang Man said coldly, tossing the whip hard on the floor, “I will transfer the money to your account within a week!”
Having said this, she turned and walked away.
With the door slamming shut behind her, Jiang Yueping finally clutched his pained arm, cursing, “We shouldn’t have brought her back! Bad luck!”
“Ah Ping, you can’t say that, she did help us solve a big problem after all. The 880,000, you’ve already invested it, anyway it can’t be spit out now. Now Rourou doesn’t have to marry that old man, isn’t that good?” Hu Fangqin earnestly pleaded.
Jiang Yueping finally let out a long sigh, grunting, “I’m putting up with that unfilial daughter just for your sake!”
…
After leaving ho, Jiang Man imdiately ssaged a subordinate.
[Three days later, transfer 880,000 to my birth father, treat it as a loan from , use your private account, don’t let my old dad find out. Also, draft a docunt for , I want to sever ties with my birth parents.]
After sending this ssage, she thought of sothing and added:
[I’ll be back within two months, keep it from my old dad on your end.]
The reply from the other end of the phone was almost instant and very concise: [Yes! Miss!]
Jiang Man read the ssage, looked up at the sky.
Her inner strength was sufficient.
Thus, despite the ugly faces of her birth parents, she didn’t care.
For now, she needed to wrap up the ss at hand quickly and then return to her old dad’s side to help him manage the business, serving only him hereafter.
Thinking this, Jiang Man decided to clear up the situation with her rushed-marriage husband.
But when opening her contacts, she realized that they didn’t even exchange contact details after getting their marriage certificate.
It seed, not only was she dealing with this marriage perfunctorily, her flash-husband was too.
First, she’d go to their bridal ho.
…
Elsewhere.
Lu Xingzhou had just arrived at the airport, about to board through the VIP passage.
Just then, an urgent phone call ca through.
The caller ID showed ‘Grandma’, so he answered without hesitation.
“Hello?” His voice, unlike its usual coldness, softened.
“Xingzhou, Manman has changed her mind, grandma thought about it and gave her twenty million as a reward. She took the money and said she wants to go abroad to study, so you two should call off the marriage.”
“What?” Lu Xingzhou’s brow furrowed deeply, his tone rising unintentionally.
“Manman is my life-saver, I think she’s a kind-hearted good girl, and you aren’t getting any younger, I thought matching you two was nice, but since the girl doesn’t want to, we can’t force…”
“Wait.” Lu Xingzhou interrupted his grandma, “But I had just gotten a marriage certificate with that Manman not long ago!”
