Chapter 587: 'Mother' and the Snake
"Knock Knock-"
"Enter."
There was a knock on the door. Jiang Huashan thought it was Zhang Ru coming to pack her luggage, so she answered casually.
The door was pushed open from the outside, casting a tall shadow on the ground.
"When are we going to Huaicheng?"
Jiang Huashan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Shen Guiling leaning against the door, looking at her with tender eyes.
"Why are you here?" She looked around and ran forward with a vigilant look on her face. "Where's Shen Lanxi? Did she follow?"
Shen Guiling lowered her eyelids, the smile in her eyes becoming more gentle, "Do you care about him a lot?"
I don’t care!
Shen Lanxi's brain is no worse than Shen Guiling's. She is just worried that if she reveals too many clues, he will catch her.
Although Shen Dasha is old-fashioned, he still has his ways. In his previous life, he suspected that she was colluding with the second house, so he pinned the crime of murdering his grandfather on her head. If he found out that she and Shen Guiling were secretly allying to cause trouble, she might kick her out of Shen Garden again.
"You don't understand." She didn't want to explain this kind of thing and just waved her hand.
Shen Guiling stared into her eyes for a while, then suddenly thought of something. He slightly suppressed his hostility and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. "I just went to Qinyuan, and Grandpa said you chose me to go to Huaicheng with you?"
Jiang Huashan mentioned this matter last time in the hospital, and he had always kept it in mind. When he came back, he excitedly memorized the entire map of Huaicheng. Although he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel happy when he heard that Jiang Huashan had chosen him.
Why is this smile so dazzling?
Jiang Huashan felt a little uncomfortable and turned her head away, avoiding the main point. "You should hurry back and pack. I've agreed with Grandpa that we'll leave tomorrow."
"Okay." Shen Guiling didn't stay for too long, turned around and opened the door.
Just then, Zhang Ru came up from downstairs and saw Shen Guiling coming out of the room. She greeted him warmly, "Master A Ling, are you going home?"
Shen Guiling's expression was gentle. "I just came from Qinyuan and saw Grandpa eating sweet soup. He said it was made by Aunt Zhang. There's no such snack in Nanwan. I think it's new. I wonder if I can try Aunt Zhang's cooking?"
Zhang Ru was a little flattered and quickly responded, "Master A Ling likes it too? I made a lot. If you don't mind, I'll send it to you later."
Shen Guiling nodded with a smile on his face, "That would be troublesome."
Zhang Ru, "It's not a bother, it's not a bother."
Jiang Huashan sat sideways on the sofa and waited for a while before seeing Zhang Ru walk in with a smile on her face.
She was a little puzzled and asked, "What did you just say to Shen Guiling?"
"Master A Ling said he wanted to eat the sweet soup I made, and I promised him I would send it to him later."
syrup?
Jiang Huashan curled her lips and said, "You bastard, you are trying to mislead people again!"
Zhang Ru walked into the cloakroom with ease, picked out a suitcase of suitable size and began to pack. After sorting for a while, she thought of Shen Guiling's words and actions just now, and couldn't help but shook her head and praised, "Master A Ling is really good. Not only is he kind-hearted, but he also respects us, his subordinates."
"Also, every time he comes to Juyuan, he tells me first, and he doesn't stay long. You can tell he puts a lot of thought into it. He's so attentive and considerate. It's really rare to find a guy like Master A Ling, miss, don't you agree?"
"..." Jiang Huashan pinched her brows and thought, forget it, it would be safer to keep someone like Zhang Ma who has the ability to judge people around.

Emerald Hills.
"What should I do?! Answer the phone... answer the phone..."
Jiang Wanyi's hands were shaking, and her eyes were full of horror as she looked at the message reminder that kept showing rejection. She had not been able to contact Jiang Huashan since a week ago, and all her calls and messages fell on deaf ears.
"why why?!"
Jiang Wanyi stared blankly at the current affairs newspapers on the floor. The headline photo was of a riot of thousands of people in the government square seven days ago. The girl standing on the roof of the car was full of vigor and was the focus of everyone's attention.
"Ahhh!" She covered her ears and stared at the girl in the photo, "Why didn't she go find Fang Mei?"
"Ta-da-ta-da-"
Outside the room, the sound of high heels gradually approached.
Jiang Wanyi's face suddenly changed, and he quickly turned off his phone and hid it under the bed.
"Squeak-"
The door slowly opened, and Jiang Wanyi's face was instantly filled with fear.
Fang Mei stood outside the door with her arms folded across her chest, her eyes devoid of the warmth they once had. "Have you figured out how to explain this to me?"
"Mom!" Jiang Wanyi crawled forward crying and hugged Fang Mei's calf. "I really don't know why there are surveillance cameras at home? I didn't do it, I really didn't do it!"
Fang Mei squatted down and clamped her chin. "In this family, besides me and you, who else could it be if not you? Jiang Wanyi, who gave you the courage to spy on me?!"
A series of pieces of news that fell on despair flashed through Jiang Wanyi's mind. It had been seven days and there had been no news from Jiang Huashan. She had been completely abandoned.
Unable to suppress the hatred in her heart, she made up her mind and cried out, "I know! It's my sister!"
Fang Mei frowned, "You mean that damn girl?"
"Last time my sister came to visit unexpectedly, ostensibly to support me, but in reality she was there to plant surveillance cameras in the house."
Jiang Wanyi was actually not aware of the surveillance. The reason she pointed fingers at Jiang Huashan was because she knew she was abandoned and wanted to find a way to survive. Now Fang Mei suspects that the surveillance was her doing. If she can't find a more suspicious person, her end will definitely be miserable.
"Snapped--"
"You ungrateful traitor." Fang Mei was furious and slapped him. "Don't you forget who you relied on to get to where you are today? How dare you team up with that little bitch to plot against me? No wonder that little bitch was willing to bail you out of the police station. So you sold me out all along?"
"I didn't!" Jiang Wanyi covered her face with her hands as she cried. "Sister did want to bribe me, but I didn't agree."
"You dare to lie?!" Fang Mei was furious and shouted loudly.
"I'm not lying." Jiang Wanyi was extremely scared, but she knew she couldn't back down at this moment. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Fang Mei. "If I really wanted to cooperate with her, I would be in Shen Garden by now. Why am I still here?"
Fang Mei narrowed her eyes, grabbed Jiang Wanyi's hair, and forced her to look up at her. "Tell me, what on earth is that damn girl plotting?"
Jiang Wanyi didn't dare to struggle. She whimpered and said, "My sister suspects that you are colluding with other people in the Shen family to harm Shen Jiao. She wants me to watch you and pay attention to your every move at any time."
"So you told her that I would go to Weiyangtai to see Shen Jiao?" Fang Mei said in a deep tone and tightened the strength of her palm.
"Ah!" Jiang Wanyi screamed, crying and shouting, "I didn't! If I told my sister, she would definitely find someone to deal with you. You are my mother, how could I possibly do such a thing? But my sister is deeply trusted by the old man, and I dare not offend her, so I can only pretend to obey her."
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Really! I swear to God, if I tell you even a lie, I'll be damned!"
Fang Mei stared at Jiang Wanyi's face and examined her carefully. After a long moment, she threw her away like trash. "So, you still listen to me?"
Jiang Wanyi climbed up again, clutching the hem of Fang Mei's skirt tightly, "I'll listen, Mom. I know I was wrong. I know everything you did was for my own good. I'll listen to you."
Fang Mei had a blank expression on her face. After a long while, she smiled and put on the mask of a loving mother again.
"That's right. What mother wouldn't consider her children? Your sister is stubborn. You can't learn from her, otherwise..."
Fang Mei smiled and touched Jiang Wanyi's neck, "Mom will be very sad."

Ten minutes later, Fang Mei walked out of the room, locked the door, and walked straight to the balcony.
She took out her cell phone, pressed the number button familiarly, and waited for a long time before the call was connected.
"Ah, hey~" She was completely different now. "I asked, and the girl confessed everything. You're right, they all have bad intentions! Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been buried with Shen Jiao by now."
