Bab 7: Chapter 7 The Mistress Becomes the Neighbor
"Auntie, it's all my fault, please don't blame Chaoyang!" Bai Mengmeng looked the part of a downtrodden little wife.
This was a top-tier green tea bitch; Mom definitely couldn't handle her.
"Shut your mouth, you bed-warming tramp, what rights do you have to talk to me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about..." Bai Mengmeng was getting flustered, with so many people around, she suddenly felt hard pressed to save face.
"Nonsense? How old is your son now, while someone's wife is pregnant, you just shamelessly threw yourself at him, you're that desperate for a man!"
Jhiang Yuan secretly gave a thumbs up to Mom, what she said was spot on.
"Mom, whatever happened between Jhiang Yuan and me is in the past, please stop picking on Mengmeng."
Xia Chaoyang cared about his face, and with everyone pointing fingers now, he certainly couldn't take it.
"Oh, since you know there's nothing between you and our Yuanyuan anymore, then why do you even come here, Xia Shimei, pah!"
Qin Yue spat with impeccable aim right onto 'Xia Shimei's' face; Jhiang Yuan found it incredibly satisfying!
"Chaoyang, are you okay?" Bai Mengmeng immediately assumed the role of the virtuous wife and caring mother, hurriedly looking for a napkin to wipe his face.
"Dad, Mom, let's go!"
She really didn't want to have too much entanglement with them. Although it had been many days, she was able to control her emotions well.
But she couldn't guarantee that if this went on for long, she wouldn't hit someone.
"Jhiang Yuan, that's enough, no matter what, I'm still Xiao Nuan's dad, you can't treat me this way."
It's really shameless, how could this asshole brazenly say that.
"You have the nerve to call yourself Xiao Nuan's dad; since you walked through that door, have you asked about Xiao Nuan once?
You've kicked us out for so long; have you called Xiao Nuan even once?
Have you ever bought her anything?
I really don't know where you get the face."
Xia Chaoyang was so out-argued by her that he couldn't speak, and Bai Mengmeng came out to cause trouble again: "Sister Jhiang Yuan, Chaoyang really misses Xiao Nuan. We're about to move to Lushan Garden soon, and then Xiao Nuan can come to our place for a visit."
It had to be said, Bai Mengmeng played the green tea act to perfection.
It sounded like she was concerned about Xiao Nuan's well-being, but when she said 'come for a visit,' that's claiming ownership, isn't it? When is returning to one's own home considered visiting?
"Don't tell me, Xia Chaoyang even got you a house in Lushan Garden?"
"That's all in the past now."
"Great, infidelity during marriage, and then setting up your mistress in the same complex, Xia Chaoyang, you're a real talent!"
Living close is great, huh? This way she could witness firsthand how you two meet your end, which would be much more interesting than watching surveillance footage.
"Sister Jhiang Yuan, it's been too hot recently, that's why we thought of moving in here, don't take it to heart, okay?"
Jhiang Yuan checked her phone, it was already 9:30. She really didn't want to waste time with these two shameless people.
"Whatever, what's that got to do with me, move aside!"
Mom and Dad were still quite worried about her; nobody would have thought Xia Chaoyang had actually bought a house for his mistress in the same complex as them.
Now that she thought about it, back then, whenever he went downstairs to throw away the trash or buy something, wasn't he able to sneak around for secret dates?
Young people are quite the players!
But this kind of joy at others' expense isn't so easily enjoyed; sooner or later they'll have to pay the price.
"Yuanyuan, are you doing okay?"
Who? What's happened?
"I'm fine, Mom, don't worry about me, just think about what we are going to buy at the supermarket later!"
What a joke, the apocalypse was upon them, who had time for love and romance, especially when it was all fake and insincere.
They bought a lot of things, but didn't touch the grains and oil.
Noodles, oat noodles, buckwheat noodles, and other semi-finished products were certainly on the list, along with fresh vegetables and fruits, and I picked up some daily necessities, especially mosquito repellent incense.
By the end, it was a full six large bags, two for each person, absolutely no fewer.
The supermarket was crowded, but everyone was leisurely browsing, without the sense of panic-buying. It seemed even more relaxed than when the mask debate arose.
Jhiang Yuan knew that this was just the calm before the storm; the more peaceful it was now, the more chaotic it would become later.
Once home, she quickly took Xiao Nuan to bathe, while grandma and grandpa were responsible for organizing the supplies they had bought.
Lushan Garden was located on the outskirts of the city, not surrounded by many large buildings. There were plenty of farmhouses and park villas, and the temperature was normally a few degrees lower than in the city. It made sense why Bai Mengmeng chose to live here.
Jhiang Yuan again checked the surveillance of the house from afar, finding it empty, guessing that the old folks had probably gone shopping as well.
She really had no good feelings about her former in-laws at all. Not only were they selfish and self-centered, but their living habits were poor.
They never closed the bathroom door, no matter if someone was home or not, and they dressed with little regard for others, not to mention a lack of cleanliness—it was especially dirty.
A tidy home would look like it had been robbed after just one day with them around.
Her mother-in-law was a real piece of work, never knocking before entering their bedroom, and way too familiar, touching everything, and if she fancied something, she'd just take it without asking.
She would use Jhiang Yuan's stuff like it was her own without any hesitation.
One time, Xia Chaoyang was using the bathroom, and she just barged right in. Jhiang Yuan brought it up, and the woman retorted with a hundred excuses.
He was her son—she'd say—she can look however she wanted; there was nothing Jhiang Yuan could do about it.
Bai Mengmeng seemed like the type who couldn't get along with them either; her belligerent manner was off-putting.
The thing that most upset Jhiang Yuan was their preference for sons over daughters. The reason Jhiang Yuan insisted on staying home with the child was her fear that Xiao Nuan would be mistreated, which wasn't an unfounded concern.
Xia Chaoyang always took the side of his parents, reminding her every time how hard it had been for them to put him through university, suggesting that even if he hadn't cheated, their divorce would have been inevitable.
Now that the despicable couple was moving in, she had to keep an eye on their movements.
She didn't know what number Bai Mengmeng lived in, but the feeling of being persecuted from the past life was too strong.
There was nothing those two wouldn't do; she had to be on her guard.
If she could, she'd like to find an opportunity to personally take revenge on those shameless two.
After all, when law and order collapsed in the latter stages, it would be quite normal for something outrageous to occur.
"Mommy~" "What's up, Xiao Nuan~"
Picking up her daughter from the bed, a soft and cuddly little thing—so cute!
"Aren't we wanting Daddy anymore?"
The little girl looked up curiously and asked. Jhiang Yuan honestly didn't know how to answer her—even so, that was the man she had been calling daddy for a year and a half.
"Xiao Nuan, Daddy made a mistake, and now he needs to face the consequences.
Let's play a game, okay? From now on, let's ignore Daddy, don't talk to him, and run away fast whenever we see him.
Then tell Mommy, or grandma, or grandpa, okay?"
"Mm~" "Xiao Nuan is such a good girl, come on, let's go eat watermelon~"
"Yay, watermelon, watermelon."
Jhiang Yuan wasn't sure if she truly understood, but Xia Chaoyang must under no circumstances come near Xiao Nuan.
From now on, wherever she went, she would take her along, never wanting to experience the agony of losing her daughter again~
