Chapter 127 Jiang Mianmian was a complete coward when she met the female assassin.
After carefully dressing up, Jiang Mianmian looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help but hesitate: "Am I dressing up too elaborately? Am I going a bit too far in valuing her like this?"
Upon hearing this, Li Tingxue quickly shook her head gently and explained softly, "How could that be? Mother, you might as well think about it carefully. The person you went to see this time is your future daughter-in-law."
It is still your own son, whom you feel deeply guilty about and cherish. If you don't take this matter seriously, how can you show how much importance you attach to it?
The more glamorous your clothes, the more it shows you value this relationship, right?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mianmian's face showed agreement, and she nodded repeatedly in agreement, saying, "Yes, you are absolutely right!"
[Hmph, it's not because I think Wu Zhenmin is too beautiful and I'm worried I'll be outshone by her that I dressed up so elaborately!]
How could an experienced elder like me possibly argue with a little girl?
Besides, back in the day when I was incredibly beautiful and outshone everyone else, Wu Zhenmin was nowhere to be found!
Jiang Mianmian stood in front of the bronze mirror, leaning slightly forward, looking at herself carefully from left to right.
Her face was as white as snow, and her skin was as smooth as silk, without any flaws.
Beneath her arched, willow-leaf eyebrows, a pair of large, watery eyes, like deep, captivating lakes, shone brightly. Below her high, straight nose, her cherry-red lips, naturally rosy, held a subtle, almost imperceptible smile at the slightly upturned corners.
Looking at her well-maintained face in the mirror, Jiang Mian chuckled. She was quite satisfied with her current state.
From any angle, she appears as a stunningly beautiful woman in the prime of her youth, not to mention she is also an extremely wealthy woman!
Although that scumbag died young, it must be said that he wasn't entirely without merit.
At least, he was generous to himself and made a lot of money. Moreover, he left her a large inheritance after his death.
Thinking of this, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but snort softly, secretly pleased with herself: at least he still has some conscience; all these years, she hasn't 'endured' him for nothing.
"Let's go, I'm going to meet her today."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yunchen couldn't help but twitch his lips. Looking at his mother, who was dressed in a flamboyant and luxurious manner, he felt truly helpless.
After all, his adoptive mother had never had much pursuit of material life, and her daily clothing and lifestyle were extremely simple.
In comparison, his mother's elaborate attire today left him speechless, and for a moment, even he, her son, was somewhat overwhelmed.
Just then, Gu Yunchen suddenly felt that the scene before him seemed somewhat familiar. He subconsciously turned his head, and his gaze fell on Shen Xiujin, who was also dressed in a dark purple robe not far away!
Shen Xiujin was impeccably dressed, seemingly understated and simple, but a closer look revealed subtle details – the meticulously embroidered patterns on the collar and the faint gold threads on the cuffs.
Every detail showcases the owner's unique taste; while it may be described as understated, it actually comes across as somewhat ostentatious.
Looking at Shen Xiujin's appearance, Gu Yunchen instantly understood. No wonder he felt a sense of familiarity just now; it turned out that this was the source of his feelings!
To be honest, at times, Shen Xiujin, who grew up with his mother, does seem more like her biological son than he does.
However, unlike Shen Xiujin, her mother wasn't a clean freak. But when she started fussing over those nitpicky things, she could still drive people crazy.
Even Gu Yunchen himself may not have realized that his attitude towards Jiang Mianmian and the Shen family is now much more affectionate than before.
He's even gotten the hang of making sarcastic remarks. He wasn't like this at all back then. He always had a cold, expressionless face and rarely spoke.
Even when they were with his family, everyone felt that Gu Yunchen was just going through the motions, as if he was doing a task he had to complete.
Alright, aside from Jiang Mianmian and Gu's parents who have reunited, Gu Yunchen and the rest of the Shen family may actually regard this so-called "family reunion" as a task they must accomplish.
Ultimately, this concerns everyone's own vital interests, so it's only natural for people to be wary of each other and remain vigilant.
Gu Yunchen: "..."
Hmph, do you guys think I'm a thief?
The Shen family is indeed large and wealthy, but I would never covet it!
Shen Xiuyan: "..."
...Alas, I am merely an illegitimate son, of lowly status, my rights and obligations are illegitimate. Should I yield, or resolutely refuse to yield?
However, this matter left them uncertain. Although the third son had always been considered filial, who knew if he could truly fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of a son?
After all, their mother has always been a big spender. What if the third son is not capable enough and ends up not even being able to support his mother?
Li Tingxue couldn't help but feel sorry for him: Oh dear, my husband is so pitiful! He's been running around and working so hard for so long, and he might not even get any benefits in the end!
Shen Xiujin shook his head and sighed: If even the eldest brother is not qualified, then he, who is not rightfully entitled and has usurped the position, is probably even less qualified! Alas, it's just a pity that he will be treated like a donkey's liver and lungs.
Uh……
However, it's possible that I'll actually have to support my mother in the future, which might not be a bad thing. That way, no one will compete with him for his mother's love!
Gu Yunchen: "..."
You're all bastards!
You shameless bastard, that's my own mother!
The moment the two stepped into the private room of the restaurant, their eyes were immediately drawn to a beautiful figure.
She was dressed in a bright red dress, as vivid as blood, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind, like a red rose in full bloom, exuding a captivating yet dangerous aura.
Looking further up, her exquisite face was impossible to ignore, especially her fiery red lips, which resembled burning flames and were captivating.
Jiang Mianmian only glanced at her, and didn't even need to look at the bright label above her head, to know exactly who the woman in front of her was.
[It's her, it's her, it's definitely her! The bloodthirsty killer, Jung-min!]
[Hehe, I must say, my description actually rhymes quite well!]
Thinking of this, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but feel a little smug and praised herself in her heart.
Then, she straightened her back, trying to appear calm, and walked straight toward Song Na.
As she approached, Jiang Mianmian slightly raised her head, chin held high, trying to adopt an arrogant and haughty demeanor, and began to speak:
"If I'm not mistaken, you are Wu Zhenmin, whom my son often mentions, right?"
After saying that, he secretly glanced at the other person out of the corner of his eye, trying to observe their reaction.
However, faced with Jiang Mianmian's arrogant and rude attitude, Wu Zhenmin merely raised an eyebrow, her eyes revealing a hint of nonchalance, and slowly asked in return:
"Oh? And who are you?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mianmian, who had been pretending to be calm, felt a sudden jolt in her heart and immediately became incredibly timid.
If she weren't trying to save face, she probably would have run behind Gu Yunchen and hidden away long ago.
[Damn, this woman has a half-smile on her lips, yet it exudes a chilling murderous aura!]
【Ahhh...how scary!】
I want to run away now, but I don't know if it's too late!
No, no, no, no, I can't be afraid! I'll just imagine her as 100,000 taels of silver!
Jiang Mianmian kept encouraging herself, repeating these words to herself.
[Ten thousand taels, ten thousand taels...]
[Yeah, I'm back to my best now!]
Jiang Mianmian took a deep breath, straightened her back, and tried to appear calm.
Just then, Gu Yunchen, who had been silent all along, seemed to suddenly come to his senses and reflexively turned his gaze to Wu Zhenmin.
It startled him; he really thought this woman had done something to his own mother.
However, when he turned his head, what came into view was a face as beautiful as an angel. Her exquisite features were as if they had been carefully sculpted by a master sculptor, especially her big, bright eyes, which seemed to speak volumes.
She was also looking at Jiang Mianmian with curiosity, a hint of doubt in her eyes: Who is this?
Wu Zhenmin was indeed somewhat puzzled. After all, she had never seen this woman before in her previous life.
"This is... my mother!" Upon seeing this, Gu Yunchen quickly introduced her, emphasizing his words, "Oh, my dear mother."
Hearing this, Wu Zhenmin felt even more puzzled and couldn't help but think to herself: Does a mother distinguish between close and distant relatives?
Although she wasn't entirely clear about the situation, out of consideration for Gu Yunchen, she still smiled at Jiang Mianmian and politely said:
"Hello, Auntie. I'm Wu Zhenmin, Gu Yunchen's good friend. You can just call me Minmin."
However, beneath this seemingly friendly exterior, Wu Zhenmin secretly sneered: Heh, perfect, I can get rid of them all at once!
[Now we can get rid of them all at once, right?]
Jiang Mianmian appeared calm and composed on the surface, showing no signs of distress, but in reality, her heart was pounding.
She forced herself to stand firm, raised her once-proud chin, and let out a soft snort through her nose: "Hmph!"
To be honest, the reason why Jiang Mianmian chose to respond in this way was simply because she was worried that if she opened her mouth, she would expose her fear.
