Chapter 176 My Mom Transformed into a Real Rich Man After Her Divorce in the 9s (Part 15)
Si Yan fell into deep thought after hearing this, which was unusual. It was too smooth and a bit strange.
"Manxiang, have you done any research? What is Wang Qianmo's roommate's family background? Is she short of money?"
Si Yan asked aloud.
"Mom, don't worry, I've investigated. Bai Yu's father got sick last month. She's really short of money. I heard she's already taken on two part-time jobs, but the money she earns is just a drop in the bucket."
Jiang Manxiang could never have imagined what kind of perseverance a poor student who was able to get into Taipei University had.
If she were someone who could be so easily swayed and betray her friends, would she have had the perseverance to get into Taipei University? She's not like Jiang Manxiang, who got in through connections.
However, Jiang Manxiang's lack of understanding was actually a good thing for Wang Qianmo.
"I always felt that things were going too smoothly."
Si Yan muttered something uneasy.
"Oh, Mom, don't worry. I've already tested her. She accepted the part-time job I arranged. Her eyes lit up when I gave her the money, and she kept saying that I'm a good person."
Jiang Manxiang was very proud of herself, but she didn't know that a fool who rushes to give money to others is a good person.
"Alright, Mom, stop thinking about it. Isn't it supposed to be our family's tea party tomorrow? You should go and get ready."
Jiang Manxiang had just finished speaking when she remembered that her and her mother's cards had been suspended.
"Mom, I have some savings here. You can take it and use it."
Jiang Manxiang spoke cautiously, noticing her mother's expression.
"Alright, Manxiang, Mom won't need your money. Don't think too much about it. Just dress yourself up nicely and make a good impression on Mrs. Zhang tomorrow."
Si Yan smiled helplessly.
After speaking with Jiang Manxiang, Si Yan went back to the bedroom and found her husband.
"Shuping, when will you pay me back the investment you took from me?"
"Why are you suddenly bringing this up? My project is still in progress, and I can't come up with the money right now."
Jiang Shuping's expression stiffened slightly, and he said awkwardly.
“But you said before that the money would be returned before the new year. You also know that my dad has stopped our cards, so I don’t have much money left.”
Si Yan sighed helplessly.
“Honey, don’t worry. I’ll go with you when you go back to your parents’ home for Chinese New Year. The old man will still give me face, after all, I was the one who did the paternity test for him.”
After Jiang Shuping finished speaking, Si Yan became even angrier.
"You still bring this up? If it weren't for you, would I be in this state?"
Jiang Shuping was better off not mentioning it, because the mere mention of Si Yan made him furious. If Si Yan had told him something back then, things wouldn't be like this now.
But she didn't know that Jiang Shuping was doing it on purpose, because he was playing a very big game. In her previous life, Si Yan and her daughter, who successfully acquired the Si family's property, had only ended up benefiting others.
"Listen to me, don't worry. You still have quite a bit saved up, right? Just use it for now, and I'll find a way to help you later."
Jiang Shuping gently coaxed Si Yan.
Looking at the handsome face of the man in front of her, Si Yan's tone softened.
In her words, seeing that handsome face made even the biggest anger disappear.
The next day, Si Yan got up early and put on exquisite makeup.
"Sister Siyan, your skin is so good. I don't even need to put on any makeup, you're already so beautiful. I'm so envious."
The man who was putting on makeup was Si Yan's personal makeup artist.
"That's nonsense, I'm almost forty."
Si Yan spoke modestly, but her face beamed with joy.
"Sister Siyan, you know I don't lie."
The makeup artist showered Si Yan with compliments, making Si Yan laugh non-stop.
However, Si Yan's face in the mirror was really not pretty, which must have been tough on the makeup artist.
However, if you want to make money off Si Yan, the better you are at talking, the more you earn. So, the people who come to work for the Jiang family all have sweeter tongues than the last.
By 10 a.m., most of the guests had arrived.
At this moment, the most important person, Madam Zhang, also arrived.
Si Yan greeted him with a fawning expression.
"Madam Zhang, this way please. I heard that your voice has been sore lately, so I had someone make a special batch of pear syrup for you."
Miss Si, you're very kind.
Mrs. Zhang nodded in satisfaction.
Seeing this, Si Yan's smile deepened.
“I know Mrs. Zhang doesn’t like Western food, so I had someone prepare Chinese pastries for you. Please come this way.”
It's rare to see the usually proud Si Yan so humbly trying to please someone.
That's because Madam Zhang's family background is extraordinary. Although Madam Zhang's family businesses are all in the United States, according to Si Yan's understanding, Madam Zhang's family businesses are much larger than Si's family's.
Moreover, she only has one son. If Madam Zhang takes a liking to Manxiang, wouldn't her future life of wealth and luxury be even better?
Si Yan was about to go in with Madam Zhang when they were stopped.
"Sister Siyan, it's been a long time. This is a gift for you. It's very precious, so please take a good look at it."
The guest in front of them was a woman who had previously appeared at a banquet and who was at odds with Si Yan.
"How did you come?"
Si Yan spoke coldly, and out of consideration for Madam Zhang, her tone became somewhat restrained.
"Of course I'm here to give you a big gift, hurry up and open it to see if you like it?"
The woman in blue spoke with a smile, but only Si Yan could sense the malice in her smile; to the others, the woman's smile seemed genuine.
"Miss Si, why don't you open it and take a look?"
Mrs. Zhang said with great interest.
Si Yan froze for a moment upon hearing this, but out of respect for Madam Zhang, she obediently began to unwrap the gift.
"This is?"
Upon seeing the gift, Mrs. Zhang frowned.
What kind of gift is it when a man is holding a woman's photograph?
But Si Yan, who took out the photo from the gift box, was already furious and could hardly control her expression.
Where did you take this picture?
Si Yan said through gritted teeth.
