Capítulo 12: Chapter 12: Come Take a Wash to Get Rid of the Stench of Poverty
"Is this what you mean by seeing the world?"
Jiang Yi looked at the rows of Maserati sports cars in the 4S store and posed this soul-searching question to He Gu.
He Gu wasn't into beauties as much as he was into sports cars. His family never restrained him from spending money, so in the circle of rich second generations, he was always known for having the most sports cars.
Now that the new model of Maserati was on the market, he, being a key VIP, naturally received the news first.
"The reason I brought you here is actually to cleanse you of that stink of poverty. You are a legitimate heiress of the Hu Family Group, with both looks and money. How did staying abroad for a few years turn you into an idiot?"
"You don't know shit. My ideological awareness is high; I regard money as dung."
Jiang Yi indeed had money. Just the study abroad funds her father deposited into her account over the years amounted to at least several million. Buying a sports car was really nothing to her; she simply wasn't interested.
He Gu nodded perfunctorily and said to a nearby salesman, "Alright, please provide the latest model for this lady with the high ideological consciousness. She's got plenty of 'dung'."
Before Jiang Yi could object, the salesman had already gleefully gone to write up the order.
"I didn't say I wanted to buy…" Jiang Yi said discontentedly.
Before her words ended, the automatic glass doors at the entrance had already opened.
Two ladies in Chanel's new autumn collection high heels were walking in, and a quick-witted salesman had already jogged over to greet them.
Watching the two women enter, He Gu's lips twitched, and he said lazily, "See that? Despite being a dignified heir of the Hu Family Group, you're skimping and scraping to buy a sports car. That wild chicken over there, who climbed her way up by getting into bed with her brother-in-law through her own mother, is living much more lavishly than you."
Jiang Yi was speechless.
Meanwhile, greetings from the sales staff echoed through the showroom: "Welcome, Mrs. Hu."
The visitors were none other than Jiang Yi's stepmother and aunt, Ji Meishu, followed by her daughter with her former husband, Dai Xintong.
Actually, Ji Meishu wasn't Jiang Yi's aunt by blood.
Ji Meishu's biological father, Elder Ji, had been Elder Chief Jiang's comrade-in-arms. During one mission, Elder Ji sacrificed himself and entrusted his daughter to Elder Chief Jiang's care on his deathbed.
Ji Meishu also had a biological mother, but in order to remarry, she refused to take Ji Meishu along no matter what.
Elder Chief had no choice but to take her in as his adoptive daughter.
Although she was just an adoptive daughter, Elder Chief treated her kindly all her life as if she was his own.
However, Elder Chief never expected that this ingrate he'd personally raised would ruin the marriage of his precious daughter and even cause her to leave this world with regrets.
It was a lifelong pain for Elder Chief. He couldn't forgive Ji Meishu, nor could he forgive himself.
"Jiang Yi, what are you doing here? Aren't you studying in the UK?"
It was Dai Xintong who was following Ji Meishu that first noticed Jiang Yi, looking at her in disbelief.
Hearing her, Ji Meishu, who was talking with a salesperson, turned her head too.
Upon seeing Jiang Yi, Ji Meishu's expression stiffened for a moment, but she quickly returned to her natural demeanor.
She walked towards Jiang Yi, her high heels clicking crisply and pleasantly on the marble floor.
In front of Jiang Yi, she said with a smile, "Xiao Yi, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell your aunt in advance so I could have arranged your father to pick you up at the airport?"
As she spoke, she stepped forward intending to affectionately take Jiang Yi's hand, but Jiang Yi subtly avoided her touch.
