The Time-Limited Love and Marriage-Chapter 286

Jiang Moxi returned to the Jiang’s Old Mansion half an hour later.

During this time, Jiang Tairan had already had various dishes prepared.

Nevertheless, Jiang Moxi had finally returned to the Jiang Family; as long as they behaved warmly, relationships were bound to improve.

After all, no matter what, Jiang Moxi carried the blood of the Jiang Family.

Compared to the harmonious and joyful atmosphere inside Jiang’s Old Mansion, Jiang Weiwei kneeling outside appeared so forlorn and desolate.

Since returning from the banquet yesterday, Jiang Weiwei had been kneeling there, too afraid to rise even as her legs went numb.

She knew her wings were not yet fully grown, and she couldn’t afford to be without the shelter of the Jiang Family.

She thought that as long as she knelt long enough, she could surely turn Jiang Tairan and others around.

After all, they had been family for so long, they surely couldn’t sever ties with her, Jiang Weiwei, over such a trifle.

But the ideal is splendid, whereas reality is stark.

Jiang Weiwei had been kneeling for a day and a night, feigning tears for just as long, her eyes swollen from crying. Yet, it seemed as if all the Jiang Family had collectively gone blind to her.

What Jiang Weiwei found hardest to accept was the appearance of Jiang Moxi.

When she heard the sound of the motorcycle approaching from afar, Jiang Weiwei wondered if her lengthy kneeling had induced hallucinations.

Otherwise, why would Jiang Moxi, who had almost had a falling out with the Jiang Family, be willing to return to Jiang’s Old Mansion once more?

What stunned Jiang Weiwei even more was that upon hearing the motorcycle approaching, the Jiang Family had all rushed to the mansion gate to welcome Jiang Moxi.

No sooner had Jiang Moxi parked the bike and taken off her helmet than Jiang Tairan stepped forward to express his concern.

"It’s so cold today, why did you ride a motorcycle? Tomorrow Grandfather will give you a car, any model or price, your choice."

Old Madam Jiang and Du Yuke said: "You know it’s cold, why let the child stand outside? Quickly come inside, Grandma made bird’s nest soup for you, have a bowl to warm up."

Jiang Guosheng hurried forward, attempting to take the helmet from Jiang Moxi’s hands.

However, Jiang Moxi, handing the helmet back, placed it on the bike, leaving Jiang Guosheng grabbing at air, his hand suspended in midair.

But Jiang Guosheng was a smiley tiger, quickly masking any embarrassed expression, then said to Jiang Moxi: "Grandpa and Grandma have prepared lots of good stuff at several tables, all waiting for you!"

Then he signaled Yu Man to also quickly say a few pleasant words.

Receiving Jiang Guosheng’s hint, Yu Man had no choice but to step forward and say to Jiang Moxi: "It’s good you’re back. There’s no enmity overnight among family..."

Watching Jiang Moxi surrounded and fawned over by the Jiang Family, receiving warm inquiries and utmost care, Jiang Weiwei could taste the blood in her mouth.

You see, up until this point, it was she, Jiang Weiwei, who had been the pampered darling of the Jiang Family.

But in just one day, their love had all transferred to Jiang Moxi, whom they hated the most.

Just because Jiang Moxi was now guaranteed a position at the National Security Department and a mysterious person had staged a grand drone and fireworks show for her at the Emperor Hotel, they believed that Jiang Moxi could bring unimaginable benefits to the Jiang Family.

Jiang Weiwei loathed this profit-driven face of the Jiang Family.

Nevertheless, no matter how resentful her gaze, the Jiang Family carried on as though she were air, continuing to curry favor with Jiang Moxi!

The only thing that gave Jiang Weiwei some satisfaction was that Jiang Moxi rejected all the Jiang Family’s flattery, her beautiful, proud face showing only indifference.

"All these niceties are unnecessary. I’m here merely to repay what you call the debt of birth. After repaying it, we owe nothing to each other."

Jiang Moxi’s voice was devoid of any warmth.

These words rapidly chilled the atmosphere, causing adept people like Jiang Tairan and Jiang Guosheng to lose their smiles instantly.

Don’t even mention others.

"Moxi, your mother was just joking with you, there’s no need to take it seriously."

Jiang Guosheng tried to make amends, frantically signalling Yu Man to apologize to Jiang Moxi immediately.

Despite still being furious, Yu Man, pressured by Jiang Guosheng, approached Jiang Moxi.

"My words just now were indeed a bit too much, but I am your mother and you are my daughter. I said those things for your own good. Don’t be so nitpicky..."

Although Yu Man was still full of anger, her attitude improved slightly.

But Jiang Moxi coldly looked at her: "Your daughter is kneeling over there."

Once Jiang Moxi said this, Jiang Guosheng immediately scolded her: "Moxi!"

He tried to prevent another dispute between mother and daughter.

But Jiang Moxi retorted, "Isn’t what I said the truth? Or are you saying that you have already disowned Jiang Weiwei?"

Her words refocused everyone at the scene on Jiang Weiwei, Yu Man, and Jiang Guosheng.

In fact, Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man knew, distancing themselves from Jiang Weiwei at this time might actually win back Jiang Moxi’s heart.

But looking back, they saw Jiang Weiwei looking at them with tearful eyes.

After all, she was their beloved daughter for so many years, how could they bring themselves to speak such harsh words to her?

Moreover, Jiang Weiwei had been spoiled since childhood; if they really disowned her, how could she survive on her own?

Neither Yu Man nor Jiang Guosheng could bear to see Jiang Weiwei suffer such fate, even though this time Jiang Weiwei truly disappointed them.

Jiang Guosheng had no response for Jiang Moxi, struggling to find words, while Yu Man again lost control of her emotions.

"Why should we disown Weiwei? She is our daughter for life, but you, you are so petty! Weiwei hasn’t done anything to harm you, yet you force us to disown her? How could I have given birth to someone like you?"

"Yes, Weiwei lies and didn’t get a position in the National Security Department through recommendations like you. But at least she’s obedient and not as harsh as you. I will treat her as my own daughter for my entire life, even if it means disowning you instead of her!"

Listening to Yu Man’s outburst, Jiang Moxi’s mind was flooded again and again with countless instances where Yu Man publicly declared that she only had one daughter, Jiang Weiwei.

In fact, even if she tried to please, in Yu Man’s heart, she would never measure up to Jiang Weiwei whom she raised by hand.

Yu Man’s maternal love was all given to Jiang Weiwei, how could it possibly extend to accommodate her, Jiang Moxi...

Yu Man’s verbal abuse brought different reactions; sadness for the Jiang Family, particularly Jiang Tairan.

They had just managed to bring Jiang Moxi back, and the relationships hadn’t warmed up yet when Yu Man completely stirred things up.

At this point, hoping for Jiang Moxi to have a change of heart and return to the Jiang Family seemed nearly impossible.

But the only one happy was Jiang Weiwei.

Had it not been for this uproar caused by Jiang Moxi, she would never have realized how important she was to Yu Man and Jiang Guosheng.

So, she still had a chance to rebound, and she must seize it well...

While Jiang Weiwei was calculating in her heart, Jiang Moxi’s eyes drooped slightly.

When she opened her eyes again, the despair had disappeared, only coldness and determination remained.

"Fine, what do I have to do to repay your parental grace so that from now on, we owe each other nothing and do not disturb each other?"

Jiang Tairan is an old fox.

He had actually prepared for both scenarios in advance, so seeing reconciliation temporarily hopeless, he signaled Aunt Yao to bring something...
