Chapter 428: A Temporary Solution

Jiang Xinyi thought highly of herself, but she was a very rigid person and did not know how to adapt to circumstances.

However, she did not have any money now, so she could only take out a loan. Seeing that the price fell again, she gave in. As a result, she was trapped. The consequences grew bigger and bigger.

Seeing that there was no hope for her to recover her losses, Jiang Xinyi fell to the ground, her hair all disheveled.

Just then, the loan company called again to pester her. Since she was at her wit’s end and considering the fact that the old madam had been staying at her home for some time, she could only think of ways to seek help from the old madam.

Of course, she could not tell the old madam that she made a loss from playing stocks. Otherwise, with the old madam’s stingy personality, she would not give her any money. Hence, she could only use Sheng Yue and Sheng An as an excuse. This time, the two children had improved their grades so much.

Jiang Xinyi sat on the sofa and tidied her messy hair before telling the old madam about this.

When the old madam heard that, her hand paused for a moment before she frowned. “Don’t lie to me… Ahem, someone told me that Sheng Yang is the top student in the cohort. Even though I don’t really like that child and her personality is too tough, unlike the rest of my grandchildren, her intelligence is definitely part of the Sheng family’s genes.”

“Mom…” Jiang Xinyi tried her best to persuade her. “I don’t know who told you that Yangyang got first place in the cohort because it’s actually Yueyue. Yueyue has been working very hard recently, focusing all her attention on preparing for the mock examination. That’s how she got such good results. I hope you don’t say something like this in front of her, lest it dampens her enthusiasm. ”

The old madam pursed her lips and raised her eyebrows. Did she really make a mistake?

“Mom… I was thinking that since Yueyue and An’an did well this time, then the jade bracelet that you said you wanted to give her last time…” The jade bracelet that the old madam mentioned last time cost more than a million yuan. It was enough to make up for a portion of the deficit.

The old madam pondered for a moment. She had just said it casually that time, but it turned out Jiang Xinyi had taken it seriously. “We’ll talk about this when Yueyue comes back.”

Jiang Xinyi secretly clenched her fists.

The old madam really could not compare to Yu Lin.

For example, the few times she had met Yu Lin, it was always Yu Lin who treated her to the meals. She did not know when Yu Lin would be able to enter the house. She was much easier to serve than the old madam.

**

The old madam was bored staying at Jiang Xinyi’s place, so she came out to take a breather. At the same time, she started cursing.

Seriously, the old man didn’t even know to pick her up after so long.

But it was true… after being with him for so many years, other than when they were dating and when he was pretending to be poor, he had never lowered his head.

Sometimes, she could not help but wonder if she had chosen wrongly. Choosing a bootlicker might have gotten her a better life.

No, probably not…

The old madam shook her head. Although her husband had a bad temper and was arrogant, at least for the past few years, he had buried himself in his work and kept to himself. He had never messed around outside.

Perhaps because he was focused on his career, he was not in the mood to deal with other matters.

The old madam took a walk and unknowingly arrived at the entrance of Yan City High School. It was noon and right before the time for class. She saw many students running in hastily.

The old woman grabbed a student and asked, “Why is everyone running?”

“Oh, Grandma, it’s rare for the top student out of all third-year students to give a speech and impart her experience. I’m afraid we won’t be able to hear her speech if we’re late.”

Sheng Yue? She was the first person who flashed across the old madam’s mind.

After all, Sheng Yue had made countless speeches like this. Although she did not get first in the grade every time, she was also outstanding. And this time…
