Chapter 528: Canceling the Engagement
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Kong Xia stopped at the main entrance and opened the iron door to be welcomed in by the maid.
Kong Xia stood at the entrance for a while and looked at the large villa in front of her. She lamented in her heart that this was the place where Jiang Li had lived for more than two years after she left them…
However, to outsiders, she looked as if she had not seen anything.
Kong Xia had been growing herbs outdoors all year round, so her skin was slightly yellowish and rough. In addition, she had overthought for the past two years. Kong Xia also had some white hair on her head, and she was wearing very plain clothes that had been washed until they were white, it was
indeed a little out of place in this wealthy district.
Kong Xia was dressed as usual, so the servants at the door could not help but look at her with disdain.
This outfit was not even as good as the cleaning lady in their district.
However, Kong Xia was a guest invited by the Jiang family, so the maid did not dare to show too much disdain. Instead, she politely brought Kong Xia into the villa.
‘As soon as Kong Xia entered, she faced Father Jiang, Mother Jiang, and Jiang Man. The three of them sat on an expensive leather sofa. They were dressed luxuriously and had an arrogant posture. When they looked at Kong Xia, all of them raised their chins and looked at her through their nostrils.
Kong Xia did not care about these things and took the initiative to sit across from the three of them.
Kong Xia’s actions clearly made the three of them unhappy. Mother Jiang frowned. She always felt that Kong Xia’s dirty pants would stain her sofa.
Jiang Man felt that it was very funny when she saw Kong Xia. Kong Xia’s appearance was so uncouth that even she felt disgusted. Even her eyes felt uncomfortable when she saw it.
Moreover, she did not know the etiquette. The house’s owner had not even spoken before she sat down. No wonder she had raised such an uneducated person like Jiang Li.
‘The moment Father Jiang saw Kong Xia, the disgust in his eyes did not even want to be concealed.
“You’re Kong Xia, Jiang Li’s foster mother?”
‘The one who spoke was Mother Jiang, and her attitude was extremely arrogant. She did not have the same respect that she had when she invited Kong Xia over on the phone.
Kong Xia saw that the three people opposite her were Jiang Li’s real family, but they all looked extremely mean and unfriendly.
It was hard to imagine if they had the same attitude toward Jiang Li back then.
However, Kong Xia did not feel afraid or lacking in confidence just because she was alone. She straightened her back.
“Yes, it’s me.”
Mother Jiang was very displeased when she saw Kong Xia looking straight at her. However, when she thought about how she would have to ask Kong Xia for help later, she endured it.
“You should know why we called you over this time, right?”
“Is it because of Jiang Li?”
Kong Xia’s voice was filled with anxiety. She was afraid that something would happen to Jiang Li. Even if something happened to Jiang Li, she was unwilling to tell her. She was afraid that she would be worried and sad, but she didn’t know that this would make her even more worried.
Mother Jiang snorted coldly,
“Jiang Li is too disobedient. I don’t know how you taught my daughter to be like this!”
Kong Xia’s eyes widened because Mother Jiang’s words were completely opposite to what she had been praising Jiang Li on the phone!
“How is that possible? Jiang Li has always been very obedient!”
No matter what Mother Jiang said, Kong Xia had always believed in her daughter that she had raised.
“Hmph, that was just an act. She almost tore this family apart in our Jiang Family!”
‘Mother Jiang wanted to say that Jiang Li had been ‘unfilial’’ in the past, but she was interrupted impatiently by Father Jiang.
“Why are you talking nonsense? Let’s get down to business!”
Only then did Mother Jiang stop talking. She straightened her body and looked at Kong Xia with some annoyance.
“Lcalled you here this time to ask you to persuade Jiang Li and Fu Jiuxiao to call off the engagement.”
“What?!”
Kong Xia looked at the three people in front of her, her face full of anger.. Did they want her to throw her son-in-law away?
