Chapter 38: Intercepting

Liu Yueyue angrily wanted to leave after seeing the saleswoman pointing fingers at her. She wanted to find Hong Wenbin to clarify if he really had no intention of marrying her.

The saleswoman walked over and stopped her.

“Excuse me, you haven’t paid for the clothes you’re wearing.” The saleswoman looked at her seriously.

Liu Yueyue felt humiliated and angrily said, “I can afford it, I’ll pay by card.” Liu Yueyue took out her card from her wallet.

The saleswoman took the card, turned around and rolled her eyes, thinking: Humph! So what if you can afford it? You’re just a mistress, spending your man’s money, what’s there to be proud of?

As she thought, she swiped the card.

After the saleswoman swiped the card, the machine beeped, and the screen displayed red text: Insufficient balance.

She frowned, looked at Liu Yueyue, and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, ma’am, your card shows an insufficient balance. This dress costs 53,000 yuan. How would you like to pay? If you can’t afford it, you can take it off, after all, our store allows customers to try on clothes.”

Hearing this, Liu Yueyue’s face turned pale instantly, her eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief.

She muttered to herself, “How can there be insufficient balance, it’s impossible!” She held the bank card in her hand tightly, as if it were her last hope.

The saleswoman smiled slightly, a hint of subtle sarcasm in her smile.

He said gently to Liu Yueyue, “This is indeed your card, you can check it yourself if you don’t believe me.” After saying that, he handed the card back to Liu Yueyue, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

Liu Yueyue looked at the saleswoman’s smile, a pang of pain in her heart. She felt that the saleswoman was clearly mocking her, making her feel extremely heartbroken.

However, the facts were there, and she had to admit her embarrassing situation.

With no choice, she had to use her savings to pay for the dress.

She originally had over a million yuan in her account, but now she found that the money had vanished.

“Ma’am, here is your receipt and the clothes you changed out of, please keep them.” The saleswoman smiled throughout the entire process, her tone friendly. But in Liu Yueyue’s eyes, this smile was more like a mockery.

“Xiao Li, you’re amazing, your self-control is really impressive, you managed to smile the whole time. If it were me, I would have been mocking her the whole time.” A friend came over and said.

“What are you thinking? It’s her own fault for being a mistress, I only care about getting my commission, she’s going to suffer sooner or later, why should I care about her money?” Xiao Li smiled even more brightly after getting her commission.

“You’re right, but I still admire Ms. Xiao from before, she’s still the young mistress of the Li family, she didn’t make a fuss, she just got the evidence and then broke up and divorced, got half the property and then got remarried into the Li family.”

“If she can really give birth to a son or daughter, the Li family will have to treat her like a goddess.”

“She’s not bad herself, her looks and everything are excellent, and Mrs. Jiang is also eager for Ms. Xiao to be her daughter-in-law.”

“That’s right, as long as we provide good customer service, the rest is none of our business.”

“Okay, let’s get back to work.”

After saying this, the two turned and left, leaving Xiao Li standing alone, a smug smile on her face.

Liu Yueyue stormed towards Hong Wenbin’s company, her heart filled with disbelief.

She couldn’t accept that her bank card had no money, and what angered her even more was that Hong Wenbin actually planned to marry another woman instead of marrying her home. She was now eight months pregnant, and all of this made her feel incredibly painful and desperate.

At the same time, she began to resent Xiao Miaomiao. She thought that Xiao Miaomiao was lucky, that she was able to marry into a wealthy family like the Li family after the divorce.

When she saw the background and assets of the Li family on her phone, her eyes turned red.

She used to think that she was better than Xiao Miaomiao, otherwise why would Hong Wenbin not like her and only like her. But now it seems that she has personally pushed Xiao Miaomiao to a higher position.

Perhaps, as Xiao Miaomiao said, it wasn’t that Hong Wenbin didn’t like her, but that Hong Wenbin wasn’t worthy of her.

At this time, Xiao Miaomiao suddenly sneezed, and couldn’t help but wonder: Who is talking about me?

“Miaomiao, are you okay?” Mrs. Jiang and Ouyang Xuan asked with concern.

“I’m fine.” Xiao Miaomiao replied with a smile.

“Miaomiao, what’s going on, how come you married the Li family president?” Mrs. Jiang looked at Xiao Miaomiao in surprise, she knew that Xiao Miaomiao had a special connection with the Jiang Group. Her husband was originally a talent cultivated by the Jiang Group.

Mrs. Jiang turned to Ouyang Xuan, saying apologetically, “Mrs. Li, I don’t mean anything else, it’s just that we all know about your son’s situation. Miaomiao is still young…”

“Of course, your son is very excellent, we all know and acknowledge that, but as an elder, I still hope that Miaomiao can live a happier life.” Mrs. Jiang sincerely expressed her opinion, she didn’t want Xiao Miaomiao to be trapped in a marriage that might bring her despair.

Ouyang Xuan fully understood Mrs. Jiang’s concerns.

Xiao Miaomiao still explained to Mrs. Jiang that this was indeed what she wanted.

Mrs. Jiang also understood, after all, Xiao Miaomiao was related to the Jiang Group, naturally no one could force her to do something she didn’t want to do, and she chose Hong Wenbin in the first place because she considered his family situation, she didn’t expect that Hong Wenbin was a scumbag.

She smiled and replied, “I understand your concerns, if my daughter wanted to marry a vegetable, I wouldn’t agree either. But now that Miaomiao has become the wife of my vegetable son, I will do my best to take care of her.”

Ouyang Xuan did not blame Mrs. Jiang for her concerns, but instead expressed her understanding. Seeing that Mrs. Li was not angry or blaming, Mrs. Jiang’s nervous emotions gradually eased.

“Yes, Miaomiao is such a likable child! If my eldest son was still abroad, I would have insisted that he marry Miaomiao, how could it be Hong Wenbin’s turn!” Mrs. Jiang sighed.

“That’s right, Hong Wenbin doesn’t know how to cherish Miaomiao, it’s a good thing that Miaomiao didn’t have much entanglement with him.” Ouyang Xuan agreed.

Mrs. Jiang sighed with emotion: “I didn’t expect that I would also misjudge people. I used to think that Hong Wenbin was a good person, quite considerate, but now it seems that you can’t judge a book by its cover!”

“Yes, people who are blessed don’t enter a house without blessings, Hong Wenbin is not worthy of our Miaomiao, such a good girl.” Ouyang Xuan agreed deeply.

Ouyang Xuan continued, “Our family is different, we know that Miaomiao is a lucky star, so we quickly brought her into our family.”

Mrs. Jiang smiled: “You’re right, our family also missed Miaomiao, but now seeing that Miaomiao has such a good mother-in-law like you, I’m relieved.”

The two looked at each other and smiled, they became acquainted because of Xiao Miaomiao, and they even made an appointment to go for beauty treatments together next time.

“Speaking of which, my son is still climbing a high mountain to reach Miaomiao, it’s a pity that you took him in, he doesn’t even have the chance to climb a high mountain.” Mrs. Jiang sighed. Xiao Miaomiao felt embarrassed when she heard Mrs. Jiang still say this, “Mrs. Jiang, Jiang Shen has someone he likes, I’ve even met her, but he hasn’t pursued her yet, so I haven’t told you.”

“He has someone he likes? What kind of person is she, is she nice?” Mrs. Jiang asked eagerly.

“She’s a very strong-willed sister, she’s a strong woman, but she’s very gentle, I like her very much, it’s just that she’s three years older than Jiang Shen, can you accept it?” Xiao Miaomiao looked at Mrs. Jiang and said.

“Three years older, what’s the problem with that, a woman three years older, brings gold bricks, right?” Mrs. Jiang heard that three years older was still acceptable, “You even said you like her, her personality must be good.” After all, in the case of Hong Wenbin, the answer Xiao Miaomiao gave was just okay, but that was because Hong Wenbin was pretending to be okay in front of Xiao Miaomiao.

Xiao Miaomiao thought of that gentle and strong sister, a smile couldn’t help but appear on her lips: “Yeah, she’s really good, she’s very good to Jiang Shen. And when she’s with Jiang Shen, Jiang Shen’s whole person has changed.”

Mrs. Jiang looked at the happy smile on Xiao Miaomiao’s face, and her heart felt much more at ease. She knew that Xiao Miaomiao was a smart and kind child, since she approved of the girl so much, she must have something special about her.

“That’s good, as long as they like each other, age is not a problem.” Mrs. Jiang said with a smile, “I hope Jiang Shen can chase after the girl he likes soon, and we parents will be relieved.”

Xiao Miaomiao nodded, and was also happy for Jiang Shen. She believed that Jiang Shen would definitely use his sincerity to move that sister and gain his own happiness. And she herself would always be by his side, witnessing his growth and happiness.

Therefore, when Xiao Miaomiao later found out about Hong Wenbin’s extramarital affair, she didn’t feel much sadness or grief, after all, it was just okay in the first place, just change to another one.

Now it seems that it is indeed true, the previous one was not easy to change, but this one is much better than the previous one, so people should be more open-minded.

“Wenbin, where did the money in the card you gave me go?” Liu Yueyue followed Hong Wenbin’s assistant directly upstairs, and as soon as she entered the door, she asked about the card.

Hong Wenbin had been having a headache for the past few days, ever since he learned that Xiao Miaomiao was Jiang Chen’s cousin.

Now he has lost a lot of orders, all related to the Jiang Group, and he was finally able to catch his breath, but he was just informed that many orders had been canceled, and upon inquiry, he learned that he was exposed for having an extramarital affair and even condoned his mistress to yell at his ex-wife, which made people doubt his character.

“Did you target Xiao Miaomiao just now? Didn’t I tell you not to provoke her? She’s not someone you can mess with.” Hong Wenbin was also angry and threw the documents in his hand.

“Ah.” Liu Yueyue didn’t expect him to yell at her, and was also scared by his rage.

“Did you know? Xiao Miaomiao married Li Jingcheng.” Liu Yueyue thought he was angry about this, saying that she couldn’t offend Xiao Miaomiao.

“What Li Jingcheng, Xiao Miaomiao is the cousin of the president of the Jiang Group, as long as she speaks, the Jiang Group can bankrupt me.”

“Also, you said that Xiao Miaomiao married Li Jingcheng, how is that possible, Li Jingcheng is just a vegetable.” Hong Wenbin didn’t believe that Xiao Miaomiao would choose a vegetable.
