Chapter 12: Chapter 012. Who knew how angry she was?

Author: DawnMachine Translation

"You see, Zuo Aiai's engagement with Ziyi has been dissolved," she said with barely-suppressed glee. "The head of the Chen family came to visit Tianhao today and set a new date wedding date, for Ziyi and Yunyun. And now the whole family has gone dress shopping for her. And since the Zuo family is in such dire straits financially...we need the angel's heart necklace for a dowry, sister. Since Yunyun is the first of the girls to get married, the necklace goes to her."

Zuo Aiai had always known that Lin Huiyue would take any opportunity to hurt her mother. ​​

But she wouldn't have expected that, even now, when it seemed like Zuo Yunyun would finally be marrying into the Chen family, she would be more concerned about gloating to her mother than anything else.

Even though she knew perfectly well that this was her mother's house, she still dared to behave in this way, demanding the angel's heart necklace as if she had a right to it.

"Mom, please, let me explain..."

"Zuo Aiai, is this true? Your engagement with Ziyi has been broken off?" Her mother's tired face was full of shock and panic, and the hand holding her book was trembling.

Zuo Aiai rushed forward to grab her mother's hand. "Mom, don't worry. It doesn't even matter if it's broken off...don't worry, please don't be angry..."

"Zuo Aiai! You...why didn't you...how did this even...?" After her mother's hemorrhage, the doctor had made a point of warning Zuo Aiai to avoid getting her angry, just in case it happened again.

Her mother's face was gradually reddening, her tone getting shorter and more urgent by the second, and Zuo Aiai, without thinking twice, picked up the phone and dialed 120.

But before the call went through, Lin Huiyue yanked the phone out of her hand.

"Don't change the topic!" she snapped.

"Besides, sister, your daughter can't get married now. What's the point of keeping the family heirloom for yourself? Tianhao thinks you should give it to our Yunyun. Where is it hidden? Even if you want to keep pretending to be sick, surely you have enough energy to get the necklace for me? I'm not going to let you get off so easily—no way! Want to go to the hospital? Fine! But you'd better get the necklace out for me before you go!"

Although Mo Chen was bedridden, as long as she was alive, Lin Huiyue would always hold the shameful title of concubine.

She had endured Zuo Aiai's cold judgement for five years, and she still had to act like a good aunt to her!

She acted sweet, but inside, she was full of bitter resentment.

It hadn't been easy for her to wait so patiently for this day to come. Now that the engagement between Zuo Yunyun and Chen Ziyi had been finalized, Lin Huiyue decided it was time to teach this mother and daughter a lesson.

She wanted them to understand who would be the true mistress of the Zuo family in the future!

"Let go!" Zuo Aiai screamed. Lin Huiyue had grabbed her mother by the shoulders.

"Oh, Zuo Aiai! You still think you're the top socialite of Binhai City don't you? You still think you're a star. Don't be ridiculous! Have you seen the news today? You're just a broken shoe that no one wants...once you were fashionable, but now you're...well, used. Why do you always have to be so arrogant? Just do what you're told and give me the necklace. I know how valuable it is. It's worth seven figures. You and your mother probably want to keep that money for yourselves, right? Well, that's impossible! If you don't give me the necklace right now, you can just watch your mother die right here—she doesn't look like she's doing too well. And if she dies, I'll deny that I had anything to do with it."

Zuo Aiai felt her face flush with anger. She took a deep breath. When her mother had become paralyzed, all of her valuables had been left to her.

Including the angel's heart necklace.

She had never cared much for jewelry, anyway.

She only wanted her mother. As long as her mother was by her side, that was enough for her!

She flipped open the box on the bedside table, snatching the necklace out and throwing it fiercely at Lin Huiyue.
