She turned around and looked at the villa. This home, this daughter-in-law, and this granddaughter were really at odds with her!

After Sheng You returned, Kang Weizhen told him everything.
Sheng Yue was still young, and getting married was a lifetime affair. She was just afraid that it would be a foolish choice.
Sheng You did not know either. He had not heard of Sheng Yue’s engagement yet.
Kang Weizhen sighed. She wasn’t mean-spirited. She simply felt that since Sheng Yue and Yangyang were the same age and were still kids. How could they get married so early?
Before Jiang Xinyi and Sheng Tai divorced, Sheng Yue still had a mother to help her. But now, if she made the wrong choice and regretted it, her maternal family would not be able to support her.
Marrying the wrong person meant ruining one’s entire life.
After much consideration, Sheng You decided to call his brother, Sheng Tai. He had to inform him about this matter.
When Sheng Tai picked up the phone, there was a lot of noise on his end. There was also the sound of women talking. It seemed that he was in a bar.
“I know,” Sheng Tai said nonchalantly.
“You know?” Sheng You was stunned.
“Yes, this was her own decision. It’s her own choice.” Sheng Tai picked up a glass of wine with one hand and took a sip. He smiled and said, “She’s very opinionated. She takes after Jiang Xinyi.”
Hearing his younger brother’s tone, Sheng You knew that it was useless for him to say more. However, he could not help but nag a little.
Sheng Tai didn’t have the patience to listen. “Alright, Big Brother. I’m very busy. I’m hanging up now.” Beep, beep, beep.
“…”

Sheng Yue bought a lot of clothes at the largest luxury shopping mall in Yan City. The moment she left the shopping mall, she sensed that someone was following her.
Without batting an eyelid, she continued to walk forward. When she reached a corner with all sorts of twists and turns, she hid behind a wall.
She held her breath and tightened her grip on the rod in her hands as she watched a shadow approach.
“Ah!” She used all her strength to strike, but when she saw the person’s face, she suddenly stopped. She almost couldn’t stop in time.
That was why the rod still landed on that person’s head but it was gently pushed aside by her.
“Yueyue…”
“Don’t call me that!” Sheng Yue suddenly shouted angrily.
Jiang Xinyi, who was in front of her, had lost her money to maintain her appearance. She looked much more haggard and aged. There was no light in her eyes, and she no longer had the confidence from before.
She was wearing very plain clothes.
After she divorced Sheng Tai, she tried to find a job with her high education level. Unfortunately, the luxurious life of a rich wife made her lack competitiveness, and she was too arrogant. Hence, she went to many companies and was fired from all her jobs. Later on, her life became more and more difficult. She had no choice but to work in a small company. However, she was still very ambitious and was unwilling to do those small tasks. She was probably not far from being fired.
Jiang Xinyi stared at her intently. It wasn’t that she hadn’t tried to look for Sheng Yue before, but Sheng Yue had always avoided her. This time, it was a rare opportunity that she got to follow Sheng Yue and finally meet her.
It was all because she refused to give up the life of a noblewoman and went to those luxury goods stores again. When she was in the changing room of a store, she accidentally heard the news of Sheng Yue’s engagement and also heard who her engagement partner was.
She was gratified that her daughter had made this choice. Whatever she had not accomplished, her daughter would eventually fulfill those things.
“Yueyue, you did well.”
Sheng Yue pursed her lips. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
Jiang Xinyi smiled. “I already know about your engagement.”
Sheng Yue’s pupils constricted as she stared at her mother blankly.
