Under her blouse, Jiang Shuwan had a splint at her ribs.
“My ribs are broken. Do you know how my ribs were broken? It was because Zhong Nuannuan refused to listen to my advice. After sleeping with her elder sister’s fiancé, she went to live with him. At the same time, she had an affair with another classmate. I couldn’t stand it anymore and criticized her. In the end, she knocked me down and broke my ribs.”
The crowd erupted into an uproar and glanced at Zhong Nuannuan.
After all, Jiang Shuwan’s looks were undebatable. There should be no doubt that she was Zhong Nuannuan’s mother. Nobody would have thought that such an ethereal and sophisticated girl would have such a cruel heart.
However, since the Nangong family seemed to be protective toward her, no one dared to speak up.
Just as the reporters from the gossip columns were about to speak, the Nangong family could no longer tolerate Jiang Shuwan.
Nangong Shu asked, “Are you done?”
Jiang Shuwan was struck dumb for a second. Why did the Nangong family still look unaffected?
While Jiang Shuwan was still in shock, Nangong Shu finally rebuked her.
“Jiang Shuwan, you’re right. The Nangong family is out of your league. If you treated Nuannuan well, the Nangong family would’ve rewarded you handsomely for taking care of Nuannuan for so many years. However, you’re a vicious woman. We wouldn’t usually want to have anything to do with a nobody like you, but since you’ve badmouthed our Nuannuan so horridly, I’ll now let everyone here witness how this evil stepmother cuckooed her way into the family.”
After saying that, Nangong Shu gestured to his own people. His aide-de-camp immediately brought up all the information about the Zhong and Jiang families from the thorough investigations that the Nangong family conducted. Then, he projected it onto a huge screen.
“You said that you’re Nuannuan’s mother, so let’s take a look at these pictures first.”
Everyone saw a woman who resembled Zhong Qianqian consulting a plastic surgeon for burns at a general hospital.
“You probably can’t recognize her. That’s Jiang Shuwan.”
Everyone was shocked, and they instantly thought of something that they had previously ignored.
Plastic surgery!
Jiang Shuwan panicked when she saw the photos.
After all, she was born a country bumpkin. Even though she had been rich for so many years, she still failed to understand the real wealthy families and the kind of reach they had.
It was the late ’80s and early ’90s. Back then, surveillance cameras were not as widespread back then. Thus, she did not expect her past to be exposed like this.
“This picture is about her inquiring about plastic surgery. The second picture shows her undergoing plastic surgery. The third picture is of her after the plastic surgery. In the fourth picture, two years later, she continued to alter her appearance. The fifth picture shows her final look—her current look. I’ve employed a plastic surgeon for burns from the Military Medical University. Professor Hu, please.”
A middle-aged man wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses stepped forward and nodded at the crowd, then walked to Jiang Shuwan.
Jiang Shuwan subconsciously stepped back and shouted, “Don’t touch me!”
Nangong Shu replied coldly, “That’s not up to you now.”
With that, a group of security guards immediately walked over and separated Jiang Shuwan and Zhong Qianqian aggressively.
Zhong Qianqian had already gone limp from fright. She stumbled and fell to the ground after that aggressive push.
