Chapter 146 Are you mocking me for being short of men?
The cold rebuke made Jiang Ning and Jiang Yao's expressions tremble.

Jiang Ning glanced at her sister's cheek, feeling a little surprised, mainly because she was too bold... As a daughter, how could she dare to talk about her elders' private affairs casually, especially since Jiang Ruxue was more sensitive about this aspect. It would be strange if she wasn't angry after hearing this.

"Mommy..." Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, and then she said in a pale voice, "I am doing this for your own good. Didn't you say that no one is with you?"

Yaoyao was indeed a little scared, even though she had prepared herself mentally.

But I had been scolded so many times before that I couldn't stop my palms from sweating.

But she still mustered up her courage, whispered what she had thought in her mind, and then looked at Jiang Ruxue in panic.

At this moment, she was like a poor little white rabbit trembling with fear.

After Jiang Ruxue glared at Jiang Yao fiercely, she realized that she had lost her composure again. She took a deep breath and tried to calm her expression. If she started arguing at the beginning, she would not be able to say what she wanted to say next. In order to achieve her goal, Jiang Ruxue could only endure it for the time being.

Besides, it looked like Jiang Yao did it unintentionally.

How dare she use this incident to ridicule herself? Jiang Ruxue thought.

In fact, Jiang Ruxue has thought about finding someone to start a family over the years. Most men were attracted by her beauty and her wealth, but whenever they heard her nickname "poisonous woman" and learned more about the widely circulated story twenty years ago, they kept their distance from her.

Rich people have always cared more about their reputation, especially when they reach Jiang Ruxue's level or above.

Those people would rather marry a decent woman who is not that pretty, as long as she is of equal social status, than set their sights on Jiang Ruxue.

Some of the braver ones, after getting to know Jiang Ruxue to a certain extent, were frightened by her personality and stopped, not to mention that she herself had very high standards and was very picky.

So, the older she gets, the more disappointed she becomes with relationships, or rather, with "men."

The setbacks in her relationship, coupled with the various scandals circulating in the outside world, even led to employees in Jiang Ruxue's company knowing the original story and making up all kinds of sensational versions that even she herself found outrageous.

Over time.

Jiang Ruxue was increasingly annoyed by the topic of "starting a family", as it seemed to have become one of the pains in her heart that she did not want to touch.

Can you not be lonely without starting a family? She is the president of a company. She can call many young boys to come and go at will. She eats well and sleeps well. After a while, she changes to another one and no one knows.

It's just that there's one less male owner in the house.

After hearing what her daughter said, Jiang Ruxue felt ridiculed. She thought Jiang Yao was mocking her for "needing a man", so her face changed immediately.

"I don't need it," Jiang Ruxue raised her cheeks proudly and said lightly, "Since your father passed away, my only wish has been his last wish, which is to raise you two well and let you each have your own family. This way, my life as a mother will be complete and I will be worthy of him."

Mentioning my father who passed away many years ago.

Jiang Ning and Jiang Yao's expressions both dimmed, with different feelings rising in their hearts.

Although their father was not very reasonable, at least he truly loved his two daughters. It was after his death that Jiang Ruxue became more and more perverse.

"Mommy, you have done a great job. We are growing up healthy now." Jiang Ning said with a smile.

This weird atmosphere was also easily resolved by her.

"I'm very happy that you think this way," Jiang Ruxue picked up the spoon from the porcelain plate and blew away the rising mist, her face not looking good at all.

Jiang Yao looked at her mother like this and snorted in her heart.

She is no longer the little white flower who was at the mercy of anyone. If Jiang Ruxue wants to knead her casually again, she must be careful not to get hurt.

How many people are born lively and cheerful, but are forced to evolve ways to protect themselves and vow not to be bullied children anymore.

"Tomorrow you and your sister will go to your uncle's place and bring the gifts with you. I will have time in the afternoon to go with you to visit your grandparents."

"I got it, Mommy."

"By the way, just bring one gift. He won't be able to enjoy any more. They will all be sold to that evil woman." Jiang Ruxue raised a sarcastic smile.

The image of his younger brother and sister-in-law flashed through his mind. Their eyes were filled with contempt.

"..." Jiang Ning did not respond, having heard too many of her mother's harsh words.

She was used to it.

"This New Year, you should visit more houses. In previous years, you sent people to deliver the gifts directly, which seemed rude no matter how you look at it. This time, we finally have a chance for you to go together," Jiang Ruxue said, pausing. "By the way, since everyone is back and Ningning has resigned, don't leave after the New Year."

talking.

Jiang Ruxue lowered her head and drank tea with her cherry lips slightly opened.

She said what she really wanted to say so easily, as if she was delivering a verdict.

There wasn't even room for negotiation.

Jiang Yao and Jiang Ning were about to nod reflexively when they suddenly realized that there was something wrong with this sentence.

Before her sister could say anything, Yaoyao suddenly raised her cheek, stopped moving her hands, and shouted, "No!"

Her attitude was too eager.

Ningning couldn't help but frown, realizing that something bad had happened.

Jiang Ruxue listened to this harsh voice of objection and turned her head away: "What's wrong?"

"Of course my sister and I can't stay in Mingzhu City..." Jiang Yao whispered, "We agreed to go back. There are still many things to do over there."

"Have you discussed it?" Jiang Ruxue smiled and looked down at her daughter. "Sisters are so affectionate. Now you guys decide everything without even thinking about Mommy. Right?"

Jiang Yao wanted to stiffen her neck and say, "Yes, that's it! Who do you think you are? Why do you always boss us around?"

But she puffed up her lips and still didn't dare to speak.

"That's not the case. The main thing is that Yaoyao and I have planned to make other plans after her illness is completely cured." Jiang Ning said.

"I think she's almost recovered. Come back and recuperate."

"This……"

"I don't want to," Jiang Yao frowned and refused, "I'm very happy with my sister in Lanjing, and now I have my own life. If I come back here, I have to adapt again. Anyway, I just can't accept it."

"Life? What do you know about life? Besides, what is there to adapt to at home? You have lived here for twenty years. Are you going to become a guest when you come back?!"

"I don't care, I'll leave after the New Year!" Jiang Yao lowered her head and started to move.

"Jiang Yao!"

boom--

Jiang Ruxue slammed the table and said coldly, "You are getting bolder and bolder now. Last time you yelled at Mommy on the phone, Mommy didn't bother with you. Now you dare to talk to me like this in person, right? "

Just for a moment.

The temperature in the entire living room seemed to drop a few degrees.

When the nannies saw the quarrel, they all retreated, pretending to be air, and walked towards the side hall.

The originally harmonious family atmosphere has dropped to freezing point.

Jiang Ruxue narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling more and more that Jiang Yao was now lawless!
