1359 Not Giving In to Each Other
“Look, this girl is really amazing. She made these two people from the Ye family stop their nonsense with just a few words. I’m sure there’s something wrong with the Ye family! Otherwise, why are they so obedient now?” Sister Wang said as she looked at Auntie Zhang proudly.

Auntie Zhang curled her lips in disdain and said, “Hmph, if you’re so capable, why don’t you go and help Jiang Shu? Why are you still arguing with me here?”

“How can you say I haven’t helped Jiang Shu! I even taught these two women a lesson! That day, I was the one who rushed to the front to stop them! What did you do? Jiang Shu is so nice to you and yet you turn your back on her. When this matter is over, I’ll definitely tell Jiang Shu about this! Let’s see how you can take advantage of their family in the future!” Sister Wang said angrily.

“You really like to poke your nose in other people’s business! I think you’re just a busybody! What does my interactions with Jiang Shu have to do with you? Are you jealous of my relationship with Jiang Shu?” Auntie Zhang said as she looked at Sister Wang smugly.

Both women did not want to give in to each other and started arguing. The crowd outside were basically divided into two factions. One faction was those who supported Jiang Shu, while the other faction felt that there was something wrong with Deng Fan’s behavior. A few people maintained neutrality and only stayed to watch the fun.

“You’re just an old widow! You’re just jealous that Jiang Shu is happy and blissful! You can’t bear to see Deng Fan doing well! Pfft!” Sister Wang pointed at Auntie Zhang and scolded her angrily.

“Who are you calling a widow! Don’t make me hit you! You still have the cheek to talk about me. Don’t you remember why your husband married you? Slut! You’re the most shameless slut in the entire alley!” Auntie Zhang was so angry that her voice began to tremble. She was already so old, yet she still had to quarrel with others.

Just as the two of them were about to get into a fight, Deng Fan hurriedly walked over and said, “Auntie Zhang, Sister Wang, stop arguing. Don’t ruin the harmony between you because of us. We’re all neighbors. Let’s talk calmly.”

“Xiao Fan, I know that you definitely haven’t done anything wrong. I believe you! If anyone bullies you, I’ll definitely beat her to death!” Sister Wang said as she looked over at Auntie Zhang.

Auntie Zhang had received a lot of gifts from Jiang Shu over the years. She was too ashamed to stand in front of Deng Fan, so she covered her face with a handkerchief and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

“Sister Wang, don’t be angry. This matter will be resolved soon. All of you don’t have to worry about it,” Deng Fan said with a smile.
“Good, good, good! You must take good care of your mother! I’ll take care of everything outside!” Sister Wang patted her chest and promised Deng Fan.

On the other side, Xia He carefully checked the items that the two women had with them and checked the spots where they could easily hide things, but she did not find anything unusual.

However, just as they were about to enter the house, Qiao Mei suddenly stopped. She looked at Ye Xiang’s shoes without moving. Just now, she had realized that Ye Xiang’s gait was a little strange, as if she walked with a limp. However, there was no mention of this in the documents.

“Take off your shoes,” Qiao Mei said.

Xia He and Deng Fan looked on nervously. Xia He had missed this part when doing the body search just now. The two of them held their breaths and focused on the shoes of the Ye family’s mother-and-daughter duo.

Ye Xiang took off her shoes embarrassedly. There was indeed something inside the shoes, but it was not the dangerous items which Qiao Mei thought of. Instead, it was a handkerchief with something wrapped inside.

“It’s… it’s my money,” Ye Xiang said.

“Why do you put money in your shoes! Seriously… I’m almost scared to death…” Xia He said as she patted her chest.

“I’m just worried that someone will steal it! Not everyone is from a wealthy family like yours!” Ye Xiang said in a jealous manner.

Qiao Mei and Xia He ignored her. Even if she came from a wealthy family, she still had to rely on her own efforts and add on to the hard work of her ancestors in order to accumulate wealth. Could she become rich just by dreaming? It was simply something that a fool would say.

When Ye Xiang entered the house, she behaved like how she used to in the past. Everything looked beautiful and interesting to her. Although this was the Jiang family’s old house, the internal structure was completely different from before. Deng Rui had personally designed this place.

“Ha, it’s been a long time, Jiang Shu,” Ye Xiang said with a cold smile.

Jiang Shu suppressed the anger in her heart and said, “Long time no see.”

“Oh, your husband is still this man. I hope it’s a different person the next time I come by,” Ye Xiang said as she looked at Jiang Shu.
