Chapter 163 My Mom Transformed into a Real Rich Man After Her Divorce in the 9s (Part 2)
Taipei, Wang Family.
"Son, why are you lying on the floor?"
As soon as Liu Shufen entered the room, she saw her son curled up on the floor, and she could vaguely hear a few groans.
"Damn it, who did this?!"
Liu Shufen bent down to help Wang Fangzhi up. Seeing his bruised and swollen face, she felt extremely distressed. If she knew who did it, she would tear the person apart and change her name.
"Oh dear, what happened to you? Son, are you in pain?"
Liu Shufen hurriedly grabbed some liniment for bruises and sprains from the cabinet, quickly unscrewed it, and applied it to Wang Fangzhi's face.
"Ouch! Mom, be gentle!"
Wang Fangzhi had regained some strength and was resting on the sofa when he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his face. When he opened his eyes, he saw his mother applying medicine to his face.
"Okay, okay, Mom, be gentle, be gentle."
Liu Shufen wouldn't dare to speak harshly to her own son, but she puts on a very high pedestal with her daughter-in-law.
"Son, what exactly happened? Who hit you?"
Liu Shufen asked angrily.
However, Wang Fangzhi fell silent, which was unusual for him, and his expression became even more unpleasant.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Do you think we can't afford to mess with the person who hit you?"
Liu Shufen asked cautiously.
Seeing that her son remained silent, she assumed that he had offended someone he shouldn't have.
"Mom, what are you thinking? I didn't offend anyone. It was that bitch Si Yan who hit me."
After Wang Fangzhi finished speaking, his expression became slightly unnatural. If others found out that he had been beaten by a woman, how could he ever face others again?
"What? It was her? With her personality, you'd sell her out and still have to count the money for her. How could she beat you up like this?"
Liu Shufen looked at her son in disbelief. She had suspected everyone but never that the one who hit her was Si Yan.
Even if it was Wang Qianmo who did it, it's more believable than Si Yan doing it.
"What's the use of whether you believe it or not? I still get beaten even if I don't believe it. It's all because of your bad idea, Mom, to make her divorce but not leave the house. That's what pushes people to the edge."
Wang Fangzhi complained impatiently.
"Who am I doing this for, son? Isn't it just because I want my precious grandson to be registered in our household as soon as possible? What future can he have with his widowed mother?"
Liu Shufen was also anxious, because she was wholeheartedly doing what was best for her son.
However, Liu Shufen was a little reluctant to part with Si Yan's competence, so she rolled her eyes and spoke again.
"Son, why don't you just keep the child and not that widow? I've heard that widow Li Erniang is notoriously lazy. If she marries into your family, will you have a good life?"
“Mom, my second aunt loves me the most. She’s not like what everyone says. Besides, I’ve decided on my second aunt for life. I don’t want to wrong her. I’m determined to get a divorce.”
Wang Fangzhi looked determined. Thinking of Li Erniang's face, he felt that his wounds didn't hurt as much anymore.
"Alright, whatever you say, but Si Yan has to stay. From now on, she can cook and clean for you."
Liu Shufen gave her further instructions separately.
"Mom, based on Si Yan's past performance, your plan should be fine, but I'm not so sure now. She's incredibly strong now, and I can't handle her."
Wang Fangzhi said with an unnatural expression.
“Son, don’t worry. Si Yan wouldn’t dare disobey me. I’ll wait here with you today. I’m going to teach her a lesson. She dares to hit her husband. She’s really gone too far. She must be taught a good lesson.”
Liu Shufen said with a sinister expression.
Wang Fangzhi nodded and continued to rest, leaning back.
Si Yan is currently arranging her accommodations. She bought new bed sheets and duvet covers, since Grandma Zhang only provided one room, and these items were not provided in the room.
Si Yan bought some bedding, which cost a total of eight yuan.
"Mom, now that everything is almost set up here, I'll head back to school."
Wang Qianmo patted the bed sheet twice to smooth it out, and then smiled and said after seeing that it was all set up.
"Don't we already have a place to stay? Why do we still need to go back to school?"
Si Yan asked, puzzled.
"I took on a tutoring order from a junior student for the next two weeks, so I have to rush back to school."
Wang Qianmo smiled sheepishly.
"Qianmo, I'm sorry. I was so useless before and made you suffer. Don't worry, I won't let you suffer again."
Si Yan looked at Wang Qianmo with heartache. Such a good child, it was clear that the Wang family was utterly despicable.
"Mom, I'll be going now."
Wang Qianmo smiled at Si Yan and then turned to head towards the school. Fortunately, it was right behind her school, only a few minutes away.
"Qianmo, be careful!"
Si Yan watched her retreating figure and gave her another word of advice.
Wang Qianmo didn't turn around. She raised her right hand and waved before running forward quickly. The time she had agreed to meet her junior was almost up, and the tutoring fee was her travel expenses, so she couldn't lose it.
"Siyan, you have a good daughter."
Grandma Zhang won't be going back to her hometown until tomorrow. She was sitting in front of the door enjoying the cool air, watching the interaction between Si Yan and her daughter with great envy.
"Yes, Qianmo is a good child. Grandma Zhang, have you bought your tickets yet?"
Si Yan asked casually.
“I bought it. My nephew bought it for me a couple of days ago. He’s coming to pick me up tomorrow morning.”
Grandma Zhang smiled happily; at least there were still people who cared about her.
"And what about your son?"
"He immigrated to America, he's not coming back."
Grandma Zhang looked into the distance and said softly.
"Grandma Zhang, I'm sorry, I don't usually go out much, so I didn't know about this."
"Hey, what's the big deal? It's all fate, all fate. Luckily, my nephew is pretty good to me. He's the one who let me go back to my hometown for a while."
Grandma Zhang smiled nonchalantly, but her eyes were full of pride when she mentioned her nephew.
Seeing that Granny Zhang looked alright, Si Yan turned and went back into the house. She still had some things to prepare; there was a tough battle to fight tomorrow.
Wang Fangzhi was very concerned about his reputation. He was just a small foreman in the factory, but he loved to act like a leader. So if you wanted to bring him down, you had to start by looking at his work.
However, Si Yan was unaware that Wang Fangzhi and Liu Shufen, mother and son, were waiting for her to return home to cook and discipline her. Unfortunately, they miscalculated.
"Why hasn't Si Yan come back yet? She's getting more and more out of control. When she gets back, son, you'll have to teach her a lesson."
Liu Shufen's face was gloomy, and her stomach was rumbling. She hadn't cooked a meal since Si Yan came into the family, and now that it was this late, she could only make some noodles.
Thinking of this, Liu Shufen turned and went to the kitchen to cook noodles, while Wang Fangzhi was still lying on the sofa, not daring to move. After all, Si Yan had used a vicious method, and even though some time had passed, the pain had not lessened much. Wang Fangzhi vowed that if he saw Si Yan again, he would make her pay.
Compared to Wang Fangzhi's distress, Si Yan was already fast asleep.
Meanwhile, Si Shichang, the male head of the Si family in Taipei, was looking at the photo in his hand with a sorrowful expression.
"Mu Qing, I have finally found our daughter."
Si Shichang's voice choked with emotion as he gently stroked the woman in the photograph with his right hand.
"I'm sorry, I was too slow and couldn't find my daughter before you left."
Si Shichang was very frustrated. Why couldn't he have been faster? His daughter was in Taipei, so why had he missed so many years with her?
He and Mu Qing never doubted Si Yan's identity back then, even though everyone said that Si Yan didn't look like them. But he personally saw the nurse carry Si Yan out, so Si Shichang never doubted Si Yan's identity.
It wasn't until a year ago, when Si Yan's husband, Jiang Yuan, took it upon himself to prepare a paternity test report for his family and sent the report directly to Mu Qing without checking it, that the fact that the babies had been switched at birth was exposed.
His wife, Mu Qing, also suffered a worsening illness due to this blow, and she passed away before he could find their daughter.
As Mu Qing left, she kept telling him that he must find his daughter. Thinking of this, Si Shichang felt even more remorseful.
"Mu Qing, after I reunite with my daughter, I will take her to Qiming Mountain to see you."
After speaking, Si Shichang composed himself, stood up, and carefully put the photos away.
"Dad, we're back. What are you doing in your room?"
Si Yan opened the door as she spoke, and when she looked over, Si Shichang was standing there alone, looking utterly lonely.
Si Yan's lips stiffened slightly, and her eyes were filled with a cold emotion.
[That old geezer, who does he think he is with that long face? Just wait, once the stuff comes back, we can start putting the plan into action, and then we'll never have to see him again.]
Si Yan thought this to herself, but sweetly called out, "Dad."
"What are you still standing here for? Manxiang is waiting for you downstairs. She won first prize in the dance competition today."
Si Yan's voice pulled Si Shichang back to reality.
"Manxiang is here too, I'll be right down."
After saying that, Si Shichang left the room and went downstairs.
Before he even reached the first floor, Jiang Manxiang's clear voice rang out.
"Grandpa, look, this is the trophy I won in the dance competition today."
"Look here, the first prize!"
Jiang Manxiang pointed arrogantly, her eyes full of pride.
"Not bad! Manxiang is really good. Tell Grandpa what you want, and Grandpa will give it to you."
Si Shichang looked at Jiang Manxiang with a smile, but as he looked at Jiang Manxiang, he thought of the child named Wang Qianmo. She never had any good resources, but she still grew up to be so outstanding.
"Grandpa, is anything alright?"
Jiang Manxiang asked in surprise.
"Manxiang, your grandfather always doted on you the most. Just tell him what you want, and he will definitely give it to you."
Before Si Shichang could reply, Si Yan, who had come downstairs, spoke up.
After she finished speaking, she winked at Jiang Manxiang.
"Didn't you want to go to Taipei Municipal University? Tell me quickly!"
Seeing Si Yan's signal, Jiang Manxiang nodded with secret delight, and then she spoke with a light smile.
"Grandpa, I heard you know Director Sun from the admissions office of Taipei University. Could you please put in a good word for me? I'm just a few points short of my required score in the academic subjects."
After Jiang Manxiang finished speaking, she looked at Si Shichang with an expectant expression.
"This one doesn't work, let's find another one."
Si Shichang's face immediately darkened after he had been smiling.
"Dad, please help Manxiang. Look how upset the child is. Besides, it's a good thing that Manxiang is ambitious."
Si Yan, standing to the side, felt heartbroken seeing Jiang Manxiang's eyes instantly redden.
"You call this ambition? I think it's wishful thinking."
Si Shichang was amused by Si Yan's words. Although he had some money and ability, he was not yet at the level to influence the admission qualifications of the country's top universities.
"Dad, it's just a matter of money, we can just give you more money, right?"
Si Yan said with a hint of disdain, "It's not like there aren't any in this circle."
"Manxiang, is it just a few points short? Is being eighty-something points short really considered just a few points short?"
After Si Shichang finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and said to Jiang Manxiang earnestly.
“Manxiang, if Grandpa uses everything to get you in, it won’t help you, it will harm you, and it will also be unfair to other students who have real talent.”
After saying his last sentence, Si Shichang thought of Wang Qianmo, that child.
"Hmph, Grandpa, all you do is spout platitudes, I'm not going to listen to you."
After Jiang Manxiang finished speaking, she ran out of the villa and into the garden at the entrance. Tears streamed down her face the whole way. Why was Wang Qianmo allowed to go to Taipei University?
But Jiang Manxiang forgot that Wang Qianmo got into the university through her own abilities, not through any back channels.
"Manxiang, why are you running? Why are you so impatient?"
Si Yan, who followed her out, looked at Jiang Manxiang with disgust. She was so disgusted by the little thing. She was so pathetic.
"Alright, stop crying. Mom knows you want to compete with Wang Qianmo, but so what if she gets into Taipei University? She'll still have to work for the rest of her life. You, on the other hand, are the next generation heir of the Si family. How can you not even understand this?"
Si Yan poked Jiang Manxiang's drooping head with a look of exasperation.
However, seeing Jiang Manxiang so fixated on this, she still softened.
"Besides, it's still uncertain whether Wang Qianmo will be able to get into Taipei University. Her good father has already taken all the dowry money from other people."
"really?"
Hearing Si Yan's words, Jiang Manxiang happily raised her head.
"It couldn't be more real. When has Mom ever lied to you?"
Si Yan smiled smugly, but then, remembering the information she had recently gathered, she continued.
“Manxiang, you should reconsider what your mother said. Why don’t you just apply to study in the United States? These days, which prominent family in Taipei doesn’t send their child abroad to study?”
"Mom, I don't want to go abroad. I want to stay by your side."
Jiang Manxiang clung to Si Yan's arm, acting coquettishly.
"Alright, since your grandfather doesn't agree, Mom will try to pull some strings for you."
Si Yan lowered her eyes slightly and spoke.
"But Mom, how can you pull strings if Grandpa doesn't intervene?"
Jiang Manxiang asked in confusion.
"Silly child, who says I can't use your grandfather's connections if he doesn't intervene? Just wait and see, I'll make sure you get what you want."
"Okay, calm down and apologize to your grandfather. Get some rest and don't think too much. Mom will take care of everything."
Si Yan patted Jiang Manxiang's head and then pulled her back into the house with a look of affection.
Wang Qianmo had only finished her tutoring session, which lasted for a little over an hour.
