Chapter 114: The venomous man who pretends to be poor and has no heirs vs. the idle woman who preten
Jiang Meiling was probably still not satisfied with the sense of superiority she got from Jiang Zheng, so she asked about her job again.
Jiang Zheng smiled and replied, "Unemployed vagrant."
As expected, Jiang Meiling smiled with satisfaction, but still said it was okay. What a hypocrite.
"What are you talking about?"
Jiang Zheng and Jiang Meiling felt a little bored after fighting for two rounds. Just as they were wondering when Ming Yi would come down, they heard his voice.
"Nothing, just a quick chat." Jiang Zheng was too lazy to repeat what she could handle, "Are you going home?"
"Yes, let's go home." Mingyi came over and held her hand and walked two steps away from Jiang Meiling. "Don't get involved with such a questionable woman. You never know when she will kill you."
Mingyi's merciless words left a crack in Jiang Meiling's impeccable mask.
At that moment, Jiang Zheng saw a hint of jealousy on Jiang Meiling's face.
"Don't I have to go see your dad?" Jiang Zheng said, looking at the half-open door upstairs.
"No! What's so good about seeing an old man who is half buried in the ground!" Ming Yi's expression was full of irritability. When he heard the name Ming Chengyuan, he became even more gloomy. He was very different from the nonchalant Jiang Zheng usually saw. He was like the gloom exuded by a lion whose territory was invaded.
Jiang Zheng said nothing more.
Instead, Jiang Meiling came up and said, "Mingyi, you've finally come back, so please stay for dinner. Our family hasn't had a reunion dinner for a long time." Her gentle and kind appearance formed a sharp contrast with Mingyi's irritability.
The Ming family had no shortage of servants. Jiang Zheng glanced back and, as expected, although the servants didn't say anything, the expressions in their eyes said it all.
Jiang Meiling is a woman with real tricks.
"Family reunion dinner?" Ming Yi seemed to be stabbed, and all the thorns on his body stood up. "My mother is dead, what kind of family reunion dinner is that?"
Jiang Meiling's words got stuck in her throat before she could react.
Mingyi added: "I really don't dare to eat your food. What if I get sick while eating it? I don't know when I will die!"
"How can you talk like that!" Ming Chengyuan opened the door at some point and walked down from upstairs. The look he gave Ming Yi was as cold as that of a stranger.
"Did I said wrong thing?"
Ming Yi hid Jiang Zheng behind him and faced Ming Chengyuan's rage. "A mistress, or to put it bluntly, a complete bitch! A bitch who dared to climb into your bed while your original wife was still alive, is she worthy of my kindness?"
When Jiang Meiling's fig leaf was lifted, she was so frightened that her face turned pale. She pressed her back against the sofa and dared not move at all.
"Beast! Is that what you should say?" Ming Chengyuan was so angry that he raised his head to slap Ming Yi. Jiang Zheng wanted to pull Ming Yi away, but unexpectedly Ming Yi rushed forward and stopped Ming Chengyuan's hand in mid-air.
"Chairman Ming, what should I say?" Ming Yi sneered, "Oh, I forgot, you are not a good person either! Otherwise, even if Jiang Meiling is shameless, if you keep your integrity, that kind of thing would not have happened, right? In the final analysis... you two are in the same nest, you are in cahoots with each other, and you are not good people!"
After saying that, Mingyi took Jiang Zheng and left without looking back.
Looking for an opportunity, Jiang Zheng looked back and caught the fierceness in Jiang Meiling's eyes that she had not yet retracted.
interesting.
Ming Yi was in an unstable mood and pulled Jiang Zheng for a long time. They only stopped when they left the Ming family manor and walked onto the crowded street.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Zheng patted Mingyi on the back and comforted him.
Jiang Zheng was really frightened by Ming Yi's indiscriminate attack just now, as if a beast that had been suppressed for a long time was desperately biting his enemy the moment the cage was opened.
"What can happen to me?"
In Jiang Zheng's eyes, Ming Yi has always been nonchalant. Even if he is trapped by emotions at some point, he will quickly break free and be smiling again.
"Why are you getting so close to me?" Ming Yi hugged Jiang Zheng and asked teasingly, "Want to kiss me?"
Jiang Zheng hit him angrily, "Be serious!"
Mingyi's lips curved, and for a moment, the two of them didn't speak, just hugged each other tightly. Under the snowy sky, they ignored the gazes of passers-by and regarded each other as the only warmth in the snowy day.
"I... didn't mean to lie to you. I really don't want to have anything to do with the Ming family." After a long silence, Ming Yi actually took the initiative to bring up all this. "If it weren't for my mother's last words, I wouldn't even want a last name!"
From Mingyi's incoherent words, Jiang Zheng learned about the panic and helpless first half of the life of the man in front of her.
Ming Yi was originally the pampered only son of the Ming family. However, when he was 13 years old, his father Ming Chengyuan cheated on his wife, and the object of the cheating was Jiang Meiling whom he met today.
Mingyi's mother was a wealthy lady who had never been involved in worldly affairs. She had no ability to resist the vicious Jiang Meiling. If it weren't for her mother's family's support, Ming Chengyuan would have divorced her long ago.
Although the two did not divorce, they were physically together but spiritually apart, and this situation lasted for two years.
When Mingyi was fifteen years old, his mother suddenly fell seriously ill and passed away within half a year. It was also in that year that the fifteen-year-old Mingyi broke off completely with the Ming family and left.
Jiang Zheng sighed deeply.
A fifteen-year-old child, an age when one knows things but is powerless to do anything.
Without education and money, Mingyi's growing up process must have been very difficult.
"Do you suspect that Jiang Meiling was responsible for your mother's death?" Jiang Zheng sensed the hatred that burst out of Mingyi when he talked about his mother's death, and made a bold guess.
There was no sound from the other end for a long time. Just when Jiang Zheng thought Ming Yi would not speak, he spoke.
"It's not suspicion, it's certainty! Jiang Meiling bribed a domestic helper to add trace amounts of toxins to my mother's meals every day, which caused my mother's health to gradually deteriorate. By the time we found out, it was too late to save her!" The voice was full of hatred, as if it had traveled through time and space to tear Jiang Meiling's tendons and skin her alive, but then it faded away. "But... I can't find any evidence. The domestic helper died that year, and my mother's body was forcibly cremated by Ming Chengyuan. By the time I realized the problem, it was too late."
Jiang Zheng couldn't imagine Mingyi's helplessness and pain. She finally found clues of her mother's death, but they were wiped out by her own father.
She suddenly felt that what Mingyi had just said was far from enough, and that pair of beasts did not deserve to live!
"But it doesn't matter... I can always find a way to make them suffer a fate worse than death!" he said.
……
The two of them walked hand in hand towards home, and after just two steps they heard a familiar voice.
"Zheng Zheng, why don't you go home now that you've come this far? Mom and Dad are at home today."
A dark line flashed across Jiang Zheng’s head.
It's over, I'm exposed!
