The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind

Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Snatch What You Like

Mrs. Jiang stared dumbfounded at her.

The “daughter” before her was completely filled with unfamiliarity.

She differed drastically from Chu Muxi, who, not long ago, clung to her, needing her desperately.

Just like how the Song Family suddenly turned hostile and even kicked her out, she felt bewildered.

“Xixi… you, you’re not my daughter? I divorced just to acknowledge your identity, I did it to prove that you truly are…”

“Ha.” Chu Muxi sneered, “Stop joking, you’re so foolish, only someone as foolish as you could agree to a divorce! What are you without the Jiang Family? Did you really think I would want you as my mother? If not for the small use I could extract from you, even a passing dog wouldn’t bother with you! You really think too highly of yourself!”

Chu Muxi grew more furious as she vented.

Just thinking about Mrs. Jiang’s foolish actions made her want to slap her into realization and stop her pretentious modesty!

“Don’t come begging at my doorstep, claiming I am your daughter. Do I even share a blood relation with you? Heh, I’m not afraid to tell you at this point. Your real daughter is Jiang Nanshu. I am just an imposter. No wonder I’m so foolish; even believing an imposter’s words, you deserve it! Ugh.”

Chu Muxi spat on Mrs. Jiang.

Gone was any trace of previous affection.

Mrs. Jiang shook her head in disbelief, “What… what are you saying?” Tears reddened her eyes, “How can you treat me this way? Nannan… Nannan is my daughter?”

Chu Muxi saw no trace of pride left in her. Mrs. Jiang looked as if she had aged a decade in mere days, her usually well-maintained hair now filled with white, returning only disdain when previously she had tried to please. Even after she came back, all she saw was disapproval.

She was just a tool used by her to spite Jiang Nanshu.

A flicker of malice crossed her eyes.

She waved her hands to dismiss the bodyguards on each side.

She moved closer, lowering her voice, “Let me tell you a secret, I am not Jiang Nanshu. I am the one who usurped Jiang Nanshu’s body to commit atrocities. The real Jiang Nanshu has returned after much difficulty, and you still wanted her dead, ousted her from the house, and recognized me, an imposter, as your daughter. Jiang Nanshu will never forgive you in her life.”

Mrs. Jiang’s pupils dilated, her heart ached so intensely that she couldn’t breathe.

“You must be wondering why the Song Family used you and then cruelly discarded you, right? Have you never doubted your own origins? But it figures, you’re so foolish you couldn’t even see through your false daughter, how could you recognize a group of pretentious fake relatives? My real mother already told me, she is the biological daughter of the grandfather, and you are just some wild seed found from nowhere!”

Mrs. Jiang was on the verge of exploding, her eyes red as if bleeding tears.

“I will kill you, I will kill you!” Mrs. Jiang grabbed Chu Muxi’s hair and pulled hard.

“Ah! Bodyguards! Get this crazy woman away from me.”

Soon, Mrs. Jiang was subdued.

Unsatisfied, Chu Muxi stepped forward and slapped her twice, “Crazy woman, get out.”

“Drive her out, let her beg somewhere else, don’t dirty my house’s ground.”

Mrs. Jiang was driven out.

No wonder… no wonder she had always felt no resemblance to Old Sir Song from her childhood.

No wonder her father was cold towards her, even her mother was not as affectionate as she was towards her two brothers.

But she had been too good at deluding herself.

Every small kind gesture from her family was magnified many times over, making her feel as if she grew up in a honey jar.

Gradually,

in her eyes, her family cared and cherished her, saved the best food for last for her, her brothers would protect her, and her mother would stay by her side when she was sick.

But what was Chu Muxi talking about?

Her family wasn’t really her family.

Her lifelong beliefs began to collapse.

She couldn’t believe… couldn’t believe…

She needed to ask clearly.

…

Chu Muxi fixed her hair before entering her home.

Chu Xin was admiring her newly done manicure.

“Mom.”

Chu Xin looked up at her, “Did you drive them away?”

“Mm-hmm,” Chu Muxi nodded, stroking her head.

A flicker of disdain passed through Chu Xin’s eyes, “It’s refreshing to see Song Shuling in this state. If not for her luck of being ‘born’ into the Song Family and then coincidentally being noticed by Jiang Huanye after growing up, she would never have had the chance to turn into a phoenix!”

“Indeed, the heavens gave her beauty but also gifted her with the brain of a pig.” Chu Xin finally felt like she could breathe easy.

She had been puzzled about how she could tell her intentions were not pure and clearly set boundaries with her.

Little did she know that a series of rash actions would end up killing her own retreat.

“But now we can’t rely on the Song Family anymore. We need to find another way out,” Chu Xin said slowly.

She squinted at Chu Muxi.

Although her daughter had been somewhat neurotic recently, she indeed looked good, and the Chu Family was also declining. The Jiang Family and Song Family were unreliable. They needed to find another way out.

In Beijing, the Lu Family stood at the upper echelons of power.

It was just a pity the young man from the Lu Family was already engaged.

And to Song Shuling’s daughter!

A suffocating feeling grew in Chu Xin’s heart.

Regardless of Mrs. Jiang’s outcome, at least she enjoyed what she should have while she herself had nothing.

No son to rely on either, her daughter was in poor health, and her husband was useless.

She gave a slight smile, “Xixi, do you like the Lu Family Crown Prince?”

Mentioning Lu Qingyan, Chu Muxi’s eyes lit up and her face blushed, “Yes, I like him, but he’s blind! He actually fell for Jiang Nanshu.”

Her tone filled with resentment, and fiery jealousy that she couldn’t hide.

“Being engaged doesn’t mean marriage; there’s still room to back out, and even after marriage, they can divorce. Xixi, you have many opportunities,” Chu Xin said with a mild smile.

Chu Muxi’s eyes brightened, “Mom, what do you mean?”

Chu Xin grinned, “If you love something, even if you have to steal it, you steal. If you can’t steal it, at least make them miserable. It would be best if you succeed, but even if you don’t, they’re not far from breaking off the engagement. If you can’t have it, why should others? Xixi, listen to mom, someday soon, let him sleep with you.”

Chu Muxi nodded excitedly, her voice trembling, “Yes, yes, mom, you’re so good to me. As long as I end up with Brother Qingyan, I will make the Chu Family greater than the Jiang Family can ever reach!”

The pie was big and round.

But, Chu Xin felt comforted in her heart.

“Good, mom will make sure you get your wish.”

…

Meanwhile, at the Song Family villa.

Mrs. Jiang pounded on the door relentlessly.

“Open up, open the door. Give me back my money! Return my money! I’m no longer lending, just give me my money.”

Because she was crying and shouting so noisily.

Eventually, the Song Family butler opened the door with a cold face.

Seeing Mrs. Jiang disheveled, disdain filled his eyes, “The madam lets you in to say, not even the eldest young master could you save, how do you still have the face to come back to the Song Family.”
