Chapter 155 Do one good deed a day
She was dressed in a light blue short top, paired with a white gauze skirt, and her jet-black hair was carefully styled into a bun at the back of her head.
She wore a simple, snow-white jasmine hairpin, which emitted a faint fragrance.
Two round white pearl earrings dangled from her ears, swaying gently with her slight movements. This outfit looked both elegant and clean, yet beautiful and charming.
"You must be Yang Yuemei?"
Upon hearing the voice, Yang Yuemei slowly raised her head, and what came into view was a gentle face.
In particular, her delicate almond-shaped eyes, like two crescent moons, were clear and bright, with a hint of curiosity and anticipation in them: "Yes, it's me! You must be Jiang Mianmian?"
Jiang Mianmian smiled and nodded, then turned to introduce, "This is my daughter-in-law, Li Tingxue. She's always worried about me going out alone and insists on coming along with me."
After saying that, Jiang Mianmian moved to the seat opposite Yang Yuemei and sat down, complaining as she did so.
"Oh dear, really, I'm this old, not a three-year-old. Do you think I'd get lost?"
However, there was a hint of boasting in her tone, and she was extremely proud to have such a filial daughter-in-law.
Li Tingxue simply said "Hello" softly before gracefully taking her seat next to Jiang Mianmian. As for the people who had come with them, they waited quietly at the door of the private room.
Yang Yuemei silently observed the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in front of her, noticing their exquisite attire.
Then, she glanced at the attendants standing at the door and immediately understood—these two were probably the so-called "powerful and influential" people in the rumors, or the ladies of wealthy families.
However, given her current abilities and social circle, it would be incredibly difficult for her to even cross paths with someone like that!
After all, those people were of a higher level and held more prestigious positions than she could ever hope to reach.
At this moment, Yang Yuemei's face was full of a fawning smile as she said ingratiatingly, "Oh dear, you really are a filial daughter-in-law, taking such good care of you!"
"I can tell at a glance that your relationship with your mother-in-law must be exceptionally harmonious and peaceful."
Hearing this, Jiang Mianmian pretended to be indifferent and said, "It's nothing special. We used to argue and bicker a lot!"
Usually, though, I'm the one nagging, and she just listens obediently, not daring to say a word back. Luckily, she's gentle by nature, and even if she's angry, she wouldn't dare to argue with me.
Then, Jiang Mianmian added with a hint of disdain, "But now it's all good, at least your mouth doesn't argue with me anymore."
But those little legs always follow me like a little tail, I can't shake them off. Ugh, it's so annoying!
Yang Yuemei pursed her lips, muttering to herself, "Ha! You didn't specifically invite me here just to show off your daughter-in-law, did you?"
Actually, she really wanted to tell him directly that they weren't close at all, and there was no need for him to go to such lengths to show off his trivial family matters.
Although she secretly hoped to get close to the wealthy woman in front of her and cling to her powerful backer.
But after thinking it over, I realized that I was just an ordinary housewife!
But she couldn't figure out what she was so special about herself that would attract the attention of this noblewoman, who even sent someone to invite her here!
If it weren't for the thought that this was at least a potential "connection" that might come in handy in the future, she really wouldn't want to come here for even a moment longer.
"No, it's actually about your husband," the other person quickly explained.
"My...husband?"
Yang Yuemei couldn't help but show surprise, and alarm bells immediately went off in her mind, "Could it be that that bastard has a huge debt to you guys? To be honest, our relationship has never been very good."
Besides, if he really owes money, then you should go find him directly. I don't have a single penny to give you!
Jiang Mianmian waved her hands repeatedly, trying to comfort her, saying, "Oh dear, don't misunderstand, I don't know who your husband is at all."
It's just that while investigating some things recently, I accidentally discovered his unknown secret.
"Oh well, what can I do? I'm just naturally kind-hearted, and I can't bear to see someone deceive another person's feelings like this, especially a woman's."
"So, that's why we came all this way to tell you. Did you understand?"
"Oh, really? Then... is there really no other purpose?" Yang Yuemei asked with suspicion, secretly wondering to herself, "Could this woman have taken a fancy to my husband?"
"What purpose could I possibly have? I have plenty of money, and I have people around me who take good care of me. I have no reason to try anything with your husband!" Jiang Mianmian replied with a look of disgust.
After saying that, Jiang Mianmian raised her hand slightly and nodded gently to Li Tingxue, gesturing for her to take out the leather bag.
Then, she turned to Yang Yuemei and said slowly, "Miss Yang, why don't you take a look at what's in this bag? But you can also just pretend I had nothing better to do and suddenly decided to do a good deed."
You can look at what's in here, or you can simply ignore it.
But... I'm worried you might not be able to handle it after reading this. After all, the last person in a similar situation cried their eyes out after learning the truth!
Hearing this, Yang Yuemei felt a pang of sadness, but even more so, an indescribable sense of irony.
She muttered to herself, "Hmph, besides that incident, could there be anything worse that could make me even more devastated?"
With a hint of suspicion and disdain, Yang Yuemei silently reached out and took the leather bag.
However, just as she opened the bag and saw the contents of the documents, an unexpected yet seemingly expected emotion welled up inside her.
Hehe, at this moment, she felt "not surprised at all".
Yang Yuemei's expression remained calm as she slowly placed the documents back into the bag. Then, she raised her head, looked directly at Jiang Mianmian, and spoke in a flat tone:
"Actually, I already knew about this a long time ago. If you two specifically sought me out today just to discuss this matter, then I'm afraid you'll be greatly disappointed."
To be honest, my influence is negligible to him; he doesn't care about me at all.
"If it weren't for fulfilling the duty of carrying on the family line and giving his parents an explanation, he wouldn't have been willing to marry me and have children!"
Even that child, in his selfish and indifferent eyes, was nothing more than a tool to "please" his parents.
"You already knew?!"
Jiang Mianmian's face was filled with undisguised astonishment. She stared wide-eyed at Yang Yuemei in front of her, hardly believing what she was hearing.
[Uh... but the information the third brother gave me didn't mention that this woman already knew about this!]
[Could it be that the information they found was wrong? Or did something go wrong in the middle?] Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Yang Yuemei nodded slightly and replied calmly, "That's right. I had already noticed this shortly after we got married."
Therefore, this is the real reason why we decided to separate so quickly.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I must say, you're much stronger than any of the women I've ever met before!"
Jiang Mianmian shook her head with deep emotion and continued, "After they learned the truth, they all cried their eyes out."
She felt utterly miserable, wondering how she could be so unlucky to have her feelings deceived by such a scumbag.
[Especially when they found out they were the so-called 'wives of gay men,' the anger and despair almost drove them mad. They all wanted nothing more than to tear those damned men to pieces!]
Unfortunately, murder is a serious crime. Even if they harbor a great deal of resentment and bitterness, at this moment, they probably have no idea how to deal with this situation.
However, Yang Yuemei remained expressionless in the face of Jiang Mianmian's words, which were full of sympathy and regret.
She responded calmly, "What can I do if I'm not strong enough? I've been an orphan since I was little, and there's no one around me who can stand up for me and help me."
Besides gritting my teeth and persevering, what other choice did I have?
Jiang Mianmian knew perfectly well that the pitiful Yang Yuemei in front of her was a helpless orphan.
Those despicable swindlers specifically target people like them who are easily fooled and misled.
Jiang Mianmian calmly took out another slip of paper from her pocket and carefully handed it to Yang Yuemei.
"Yang Yuemei, perhaps I really can't help you in other aspects, but if you want to make a living in the future, you can go and find the person written on this paper. He might be able to help you!"
Furthermore, this person knows several renowned lawyers. If you intend to seek justice through litigation, he might be able to help connect you with them and make the fees a little cheaper.
If you can't come up with the money right now, that's fine. You can choose to work for this person below and pay off the debt with your wages, then repay it slowly later..."
After hearing these words, Yang Yuemei was stunned and stared blankly at the note on the table.
It took her a while to come to her senses, and she stammered, "Why...why are you helping me like this?"
