Chapter 73 - Imprisonment
“To put it bluntly, as things stand, the Second Miss has no sense of shame at all! If we were forced to choose, I prefer Second Miss who wears the cold and distant dead-person persona everyday.”
Zhong Qianqian turned her attention to Jiang Shuwan, asking, “Mum, she hasn’t found out about anything, has she?”
Jiang Shuwan was scared out of her wits. “That… that can’t be!”
“Then why is she behaving this way all of a sudden?”
“Humph. If she has changed, so be it. Even if she finds out that I’m not her mum, what can she possibly do?” Jiang Shuwan put on a look as if to say that she had nothing to lose.
“If she knows that you’re not her mother, what awaits you may well be imprisonment! You can choose not to become a good mother to her, but if she ever learns the truth, don’t expect me to bail you out!”
The main door was not closed. Zhong Kuijun had a meeting at the administrative office and came home earlier than expected. He had only just entered the house when he heard the three women whispering behind Zhong Nuannuan’s back.
Jiang Shuwen nearly jumped out of her skin. She rubbed her chest and stood up whilst saying, “Oh my god, you scared me. Why are you back so early today?”
“Jiang Shuwan, I’m warning you. You better not let Nuannuan notice that anything is amiss and perform your duty as a mother well. If she notices that anything is wrong, don’t blame me for disregarding our relationship as husband and wife when you’re eventually caught!”
Jiang Shuwan was uncomfortable at getting reprimanded. She also held some fears in her heart. Thus, she explained sheepishly, “I know, I know! I’ve been doing well, haven’t I? I even bought her a 300-thousand-bucks gown today! Just earlier, she swindled me out of 3000 bucks, claiming that she wants to buy a phone. In the end, she kept the money in her purse.”
