Jiang Qin was stunned.

Murong Xiang’s eyes lit up.

Madam Jiang frowned, not believing that Si Fan would agree so readily.

She warned, “Si Fan, let me tell you, don’t go back on your words. If you refuse to do it, I’ll teach you a lesson!”

Si Fan opened her eyes and smiled disdainfully. “There’s no need for that. After all, your son is really a good-for-nothing.”

“You!” Madam Jiang was so angry that her face turned red. She was about to say something when Murong Xiang stopped her softly.

“Madam Jiang, that’s enough. Since the young lady has agreed to break off the engagement, don’t make it so complicated. Isn’t it fine if it succeeds?”

Madam Jiang glanced at Murong Xiang. For Murong Xiang’s sake, she did not continue to make things difficult for Jiang Qin and her daughter.

She snorted. “Remember what you said. I’ll wait for you at the Jiang Family’s residence!”

Si Fan was too lazy to respond to her and left with Jiang Qin.

Jiang Qin frowned and glanced at Si Fan. She wanted to say something but she didn’t in the end.

Anyway, Si Mingyuan had already chased Fanfan out of the house. He couldn’t make any decisions about Fanfan’s marriage, right?

She hoped that everything would go well.

Sigh…

Seeing Si Fan and Jiang Qin leave, Madam Jiang asked Murong Xiang nicely, “Madam Jun, have you bought your shoes?”

“No, I haven’t found a suitable pair yet.”

Murong Xiang had just said that she wanted to buy shoes because she had an ulterior motive. She wasn’t really buying shoes.

However, Madam Jiang misunderstood. “Madam Jun, I told you that shoes from this kind of shoe boutique are not presentable. The materials and quality are extremely poor. How can you buy such shoes?!”

Murong Xiang smiled and did not respond.

After a pause, Murong Xiang asked, “Is that young lady really your son’s fiancée? Where did she come from?”

Madam Jiang smiled disdainfully and then revealed all the dirt on Jiang Qin and Si Fan.

Jiang Qin was abandoned by a man and hooked up with Si Mingyuan for a second marriage.

Si Fan was uncultured and uneducated. She often bullied the Si sisters and was very vicious.

Madam Jiang said a lot of bad things about them.

Moreover, the few madams beside Madam Jiang kept echoing her words to increase the story’s authenticity.

Murong Xiang had a hint of discomfort after hearing them.

A woman had been abandoned by a man just after being married for a few years and she raised her two children alone. The saddest thing was that her youngest boy had a heart problem and had to be hospitalized.

How could a woman afford such expensive medical fees?!

As a woman, she felt that Jiang Qin was very noble. She was not like Madam Jiang who would do anything to get to the top.

Moreover, we all have our burdens to bear, every family has its hardships. It was not convenient to comment when one did not know the truth.

Madam Jiang and the others only knew certain people or things. They were too one-sided.

Based on their words, she could not conclude that the beautiful girl was the kind of person they were talking about.

Moreover, she felt that the young lady had an aura and maturity that exceeded her peers.

Typically, such people wouldn’t bully the weak.

There was probably… some misunderstanding.

Madam Jiang’s mouth was dry. After saying that, she said, “Madam Jun, let’s not talk about these two uncouth people. I know a famous shoe boutique nearby. Let’s go shopping together.”

Murong Xiang looked back at Si Fan and Jiang Qin, who had gone far, and nodded. “Let’s go.”

The group of them walked out of the shoe boutique.

Murong Xiang stopped. “Forget it, I won’t shop anymore. You ladies can continue shopping. I’ll call my son to pick me up.”

When Madam Jiang and the other madams heard Murong Xiang call her son out to pick her up, their eyes lit up.

“Madam Jun, we’re not going shopping anymore. We’ll keep you company here until your son comes!”

“That’s right, that’s right. Otherwise, it would be so lonely for you to wait alone!”

Although they didn’t know what the son Murong Xiang mentioned looked like, how knowledgeable, and how talented he was, how bad could the young master of the Jun family, who was raised by a top noble family in the capital, be?

He must be noble and extraordinary, high up in the air. Most importantly, the Jun family in Beijing was the number one aristocratic family, the richest family in Asia Continent, and the business overlord of Asia Continent.

If their daughters could marry into the Jun family, their family’s value would rise. They would be able to do whatever they wanted and be pursued by everyone.

Therefore, how could they let go of such a big fish??

Murong Xiang looked at the suddenly excited Madams and smiled meaningfully.

It was not that she did not know their intentions.

Normally, she would still like people to introduce a potential partner to her son, but now…

Murong Xiang looked back at the shoe boutique and smiled. She had a potential daughter-in-law to examine.

She would think about the rest later.

Murong Xiang quickly called Jun Yan.

“Son, come quickly. I have sprained my ankle. Hurry up and bring me to the hospital for treatment!”

She hung up without waiting for Jun Yan’s reaction.

Of course, she also sent a location to Jun Yan.

At that time, Jun Yan was still in the restaurant. He frowned when he received Murong Xiang’s call.

Seeing that Jun Yan was still sitting there, Jiang Wang was a little anxious. “Yan, hurry up and fetch Auntie. Auntie is old and it’s not easy to treat a sprained ankle!”

Jun Yan glanced at Jiang Wang and said coldly, “You believed that?”

Jiang Wang looked confused. “Why shouldn’t I believe her?”

Jun Yan didn’t say anything. He stared at the location sent by Murong Xiang. It wasn’t far from here.

He stood up expressionlessly and walked out.

Jiang Wang wanted to follow him, but he thought better of it.

This was because Murong Xiang suspected that he was having a gay relationship with Jun Yan and interrogated him the last time he met her. He was afraid and did not dare to see her.

***

On the other hand,

Jiang Qin picked out a few pairs of shoes for Si Fan and walked out of the shoe boutique with many bags.

She realized that Madam Jiang and the others were still there when she came out.

Jiang Qin lowered her head and pretended not to see them.

Murong Xiang suddenly said, “Hey, Madam Si, Miss Si, please wait!”

Jiang Qin was stunned. She looked at Murong Xiang, who was being surrounded by Madam Jiang and the others. The calm and elegant aura on her was something that she could never achieve in her life.

There was a noble aura in her bones, but she did not have that overbearing sharpness. Instead, she was gentle and elegant, giving off a friendly feeling.

Jiang Qin could not help but sigh. Her world with this Madam was like two parallel lines. No matter how close they were, they could not interact.

Otherwise, how could there be such a saying as “as far as heaven from the abyss of the ocean”?

Madam Jiang was a little unhappy that Murong Xiang stopped Jiang Qin and Si Fan. “Madam Jun, why did you call them?”

Murong Xiang ignored Madam Jiang and walked straight to Jiang Qin and Si Fan. Her eyes revealed a hint of heartache when she saw the bags in their hands.

“Madam Si, Miss Si, my son is coming to pick me up soon. If you don’t mind, how about I get my son to give you a ride back?”
