Chapter 38
....At the same time, Li Yan’s cell phone vibrated as he was resting with his eyes closed in the car.
He pulled out his cell phone and saw a transactional text message.
His cold eyes narrowed as he said, “Go to the luxury mall.”
Did that little thing believe that her audacity would go unpunished after her dramatic exit?
…..
Qiao Mu and Chi Xia were chatting as they walked out of the mall when Qiao Mu caught sight of a woman carrying many shopping bags. Qiao Mu froze in her tracks.
Chi Xia was puzzled when she followed Qiao Mu gaze and saw a middle-aged woman who was holding multiple shopping bags, each filled with luxury goods. She was walking out of the mall with a smug look on her face.
The woman wore delicate makeup but her clothes seemed outdated. However, her amazing figure despite her age produced a rather impressive presence.
Chi Xia was stunned. She had seen this woman before because Zhou Jieru had once went to university to look for Qiao Mu.
That was right, this woman was Zhou Jieru!
Qiao Mu’s face gradually turned pale when she saw Zhou Jieru, and she was shocked when she saw the shopping bags in Zhou Jieru’s hands. The anger in her eyes slowly broke loose, and before the other person could notice her, she rushed forward and grabbed the woman’s wrist.
“Mother, why are you here?!”
Zhou Jieru was lowering her head to admire the results of her shopping when Qiao Mu suddenly appeared before her. Her expression froze while she hid the shopping bags behind her and smiled, “Mu Mu, what a coincidence.”
Qiao Mu hauled the shopping bags over and questioned her, “What are these? Where did you get the money to buy these?”
“Be gentle! Don’t pull my bags apart!” Zhou Jieru immediately protected her shopping bags and glared at Qiao Mu, “What’s your attitude after seeing your mother after a long time? You’re becoming more and more rude!”
Qiao Mu’s face was cold, “I’m asking you, where did you get the money to buy these?!”
Zhou Jieru smiled dismissively, “Didn’t you transfer some money to me today?”
“So you’re saying that the gambling debts are all lies?”
“I’m truly in debt, but recently my luck at gambling is good, so I earn back some money. I’m not in a rush to pay back the rest of my debt. I just want to use the eighty thousand RMB that my daughter gave me to enjoy my life. Life is good when you’re rich!” Zhou Jieru was feeling pleased with herself. She did not show any hint of guilt when she faced Qiao Mu.
Qiao Mu was completely appalled!
She had done everything she could possibly do, and she even threw away her dignity before Li Yan for money. For all that trouble, this truth was her only reward.
She never even suspected Zhou Jieru was lying to her!
Qiao Mu snatched the shopping bags from Zhou Jieru, “Return all of these!”
“Return these? I’ve already bought it! Are you crazy? Qiao Mu, you can’t stand the thought of your mother having a good life, right? You can come to the shopping mall and shop but I can’t, right? Didn’t I just use a little of your money? You really have no conscience!”
Qiao Mu felt as if she was suffocated. She took a deep breath but she still could not suppress the sorrow she felt within her.
Chi Xia took a step forward and said angrily, “Aunty, do you think what you said is reasonable? Qiao Mu’s your daughter, not your ATM!”
“It’s because she’s my daughter, that’s why it’s right for me to spend her money!”
“You…”
Chi Xia gritted her teeth in anger. How could there be such a mother in this world?! Just as she was about to say something, she noticed a tall figure walking toward them.
“It’s quite lively here.” The cold voice said.
Qiao Mu raised her head abruptly, and her complexion turned paler when she saw the newcomer.
