Chapter 45 Jiang Mianmian Sees "Possession" Again
Chapter 45 Jiang Mianmian Sees "Possession" Again
Just as Mr. Li was about to open his mouth to refute Jiang Mianmian's utterly absurd remarks, his daughter raised her hand to stop him.
With lightning speed, Li Tingxue grabbed a piece of pastry from the side and shoved it into her father's wide-open mouth. Then, she grinned and said:
"Dad, try this milk shortbread made by the new cook! You must try it, it's so delicious! We can't buy it here, you have to eat a few pieces!"
Suddenly, a piece of pastry was stuffed into Mr. Li's mouth by his daughter. Just as he was about to scold her for her foolish behavior, he saw her winking at him and his wife glaring at him coldly from the side.
Although he was completely bewildered and had no idea what his wife and daughter were trying to say.
But then he remembered the strange things his daughter had said earlier, and Mr. Li just hummed in response without saying anything more.
There was nothing he could do; his wife and daughter were just too fierce. He smacked his lips and swallowed the words that were about to come out, swallowing them down with the pastry.
But the pastry was so dry that he almost choked. He picked up the teacup on the table and gulped down several mouthfuls of tea before he could swallow the pastry.
After witnessing her daughter's actions, Li's mother suddenly remembered what her daughter had quietly told them just before Jiang Mianmian stepped into the room.
No matter what her mother-in-law says or does later, they must make sure that neither of them asks any questions.
Furthermore, the daughter specifically emphasized that no matter how outrageous or unbelievable the things they heard, they absolutely should not show any unusual expression on their faces, so as not to attract her mother-in-law's attention or anything like that...
At this moment, Li's mother looked at Jiang Mianmian with suspicion, thinking to herself: Could this woman have suffered some kind of mental shock or something? Otherwise, why would she say such crazy things?
However, upon further reflection, a pang of sympathy welled up in Li's mother's heart. Alas, Lord Shen, he has truly committed a terrible sin!
Jiang Mianmian's husband, Lord Shen, was a womanizer and a heartless man. He died young, but left her with a group of sons whose identities were hard to discern.
They're always hanging around in front of Jiang Mianmian. Anyone would probably be driven crazy by now.
"Mother, you should have some too. These pastries are very good." After saying that, she picked up a pastry and handed it to Li's mother.
Just then, Li Tingxue said softly, "Mother, why don't you try this pastry? It tastes really good!"
After saying that, she gently picked up a piece of pastry, smiled and handed it to Li's mother, winking at her repeatedly.
Looking at the pastry her daughter offered, Li's mother instantly understood. Her daughter's gesture was a subtle hint to the couple that they should remain silent.
She must have been worried that what the couple said might cause her mother-in-law to go crazy.
Thinking of this, Mother Li nodded slightly, indicating that she understood her daughter's meaning, and silently took the pastry and put it in her mouth.
She understands, she understands! It has to be said that this was a misunderstanding imagined by Li's mother, which saves Li Tingxue the trouble of explaining it here.
Jiang Mianmian was preoccupied with figuring out how to get closer to Li's mother, and didn't pay any attention to the little flirtatious exchanges between the in-laws.
Suddenly, her gaze fell on the clothes her parents were wearing. Ah, a perfect excuse! Her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed with delight:
"Oh my! My dear mother-in-law, is that dress you're wearing made of the latest fabric from Soft Luo Pavilion? Tsk tsk tsk, I've been shopping all day and still couldn't find it!"
Before she finished speaking, Jiang Mianmian jumped up from her seat and rushed to Li's mother's side in three quick steps, reaching out her hands to haphazardly touch Li's mother's clothes.
Startled by Jiang Mianmian's sudden movement, Li's mother trembled involuntarily. However, she quickly regained her composure and nodded hastily in response.
"That's right, this is indeed newly produced material. I sent people out to buy it, and it took a lot of effort. They queued for several days before we finally managed to get some!"
However, Jiang Mianmian's attention shifted to the hairpin on Li's mother's head, noticing that she was wearing another jadeite hairpin.
Her eyes lit up, and a radiant smile bloomed on her face as she exclaimed in admiration:
"Oh my, my dear mother-in-law, look at this jade hairpin you're wearing! It's absolutely gorgeous! It makes you look even younger. Look at how beautiful it is, how clear and lustrous the jade is, and how green it is—it's truly a rare and exquisite piece!"
After saying that, Jiang Mianmian unceremoniously reached out and touched the jade hairpin on Li's mother's head twice, and then praised the hairpin for being beautiful.
Li's mother was completely bewildered by Jiang Mianmian's praise, not understanding why the other woman was so excited. She subconsciously lowered her head, her gaze falling on the crystal-clear jade bracelet on her wrist, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
It should be noted that the bracelet and the jade hairpin in her hair were a matching set of jewelry, but Jiang Mianmian seemed to ignore the bracelet and kept praising the jade hairpin on her head.
Why does Jiang Mianmian seem to have ignored her bracelet and only praised the jade hairpin on her head? It seems she's not very bright, but she speaks very sincerely.
Nevertheless, hearing praise from others is always pleasant, and only now did a genuine smile appear on Li's face as she humbly responded:
"Hehe, you flatter me. The jade pendant you're wearing, my dear mother-in-law, is truly exquisite, and the emerald green color suits your temperament perfectly!"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Mianmian quickly flipped through the character plot interpretation above Li's mother's head.
Upon seeing the contents, she gasped in astonishment, her mouth agape, and she inwardly exclaimed:
God!
This...this...is yet another story about a real and fake heiress!
What surprised her even more was that she didn't find any plot points about Li's father being cuckolded in these storylines.
Alas, what a pity, but she clearly saw some secrets about Li's mother's eldest son.
Oh dear! I never expected her eldest son to be such an irresponsible and scumbag father!
[Also, the "real and fake heiresses" genre is so popular these days, how come it's happening to the children of the Li family at the same time?]
Is it really that easy for children from wealthy families to change their identities these days?
Thinking about this, Jiang Mianmian sighed a few times, feeling that the world was truly full of wonders.
