A vague idea formed in Jiang Jin’s mind as she listened to her friends’ words. She waited until her friends were done before she sighed and said, “That’s right. The Ning family’s affairs really cause people to sigh…”
Someone asked curiously, “Hmm? Do you know something we don’t?”
Jiang Jin nodded. Then, she revealed the Ning family’s private matters. She told them how Zhuang Yi and Ning Zhe built the Ning Group’s clothing business together and how Ning Zhe brought his mistress and her seven-year-old son to the Ning family house. She told them Zhuang Yi refused to share her husband and insisted on a divorce; she wanted to split the family fortune and take her daughter away. She did not hold back and shared with her friends how at that time, in the midst of chaos, Zhuang Yi lost the son in her womb. In the end, to get custody of her daughter, she even gave up on the fortune she rightly deserved.
Everyone listened to Jiang Jin’s story attentively. Curiosity, anger, and pity rose in their hearts. Some of them even shed tears.
“The former Madam of the Ning family was really pitiful. In the end, not only did she lose her husband, but she lost her son as well. This is all the mistress’ fault.”
“What happened to her daughter after she left with her mother? Her life must be tough…”
“In my opinion, the former Madam of the Ning family shouldn’t have let Ning Zhe and his mistress get away with all that. She should’ve taken both her daughter and the fortune she deserved.”
“That’s right! Why did she let that pair of bast*rd off the hook? She was too kindhearted.”
“If it were me, I would spite them and refuse to divorce. I want to see what a mistress can do in such a situation!”
“Well, it seems like the former Mrs. Ning was someone who placed great importance on love. A woman like her doesn’t fall in love easily, but when they do, they fall deeply. Her eyesight must be bad to fall for a bast*rd like Ning Zhe! What a pity!”
Someone sighed. “People’s morals are really declining with time. It’s all the fault of those cheap and shameless women. When they meet rich men, they’ll try to cling onto the rich men and tie them down by getting pregnant! It doesn’t matter to them if the men are married. They’ll pretend like they don’t want anything, but once you give in once, they’re there the type that once you give an inch, they’d take a mile.”
When Jiang Jin saw how furious her friends were, she continued to say, “Did you know after the former Mrs. Ning left the Ning family, her parents died one after another. At that time, her daughter was about to sit for the college entrance exam as well. For all these reasons, she later died of exhaustion…”
“What?”
“That’s too pitiful!”
“Why did the heavens let the former Mrs. Ning die while the adulterous couple lives well?”
“Her daughter is really pitiful as well. She must have been a very good child. To think she was forced by circumstances to leave the Ning family…”
“That’s right. In fact, she’s innocent. She was only affected because of her parents’ issue.”
At this moment, someone finally asked, “Jiang Jin, how do you know so much? From what I know, your family doesn’t have any business dealings with the Ning family, right? Moreover, you have no interaction with the Ning family as well…”
“That’s right, Jiang Jin. You’ve never been one to gossip about other families’ private affairs. You’ve always been focused on your grandson. How do you know so much about the Ning family?”
Jiang Jin sighed again before she said, “Speaking about private family affairs, I have to thank all of you. Back then, there was also a commotion in my family. Not only did all of you not laugh at me, but all of you even comforted me. Truly, all of you have accompanied me through difficult times.”
“Is there a need to thank us for that matter? We’re good friends, after all.”
“That’s right, that’s right. Now, hurry up and tell us how you know so much about the Ning family!”
“Jiang Jin, why are you so sad all of a sudden? Moreover, the situation in your family back then is different from the Ning family. Back then, for the sake of your daughter-in-law and your grandson, you even chased your son out. Of course, you’d have our support for doing the right thing.”
“That’s right. We’re talking about the Ning family, how did it suddenly shift to your family? Your grandson is so capable and filial; your granddaughter-in-law is also obedient, filial, sensible, and capable. Is there a need for you to be sad?”
Everyone feigned anger in order to comfort Jiang Jin.
Jiang Jin smiled upon hearing these words before she lifted her hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. Then, she said, “Didn’t all of you want to know what happened to the Young Miss of the Ning family? Let me tell you, the unwanted daughter from the Ning family is my granddaughter-in-law, Song Ning.” Her eyes grew wet as she said again, “You heard me right. The Eldest Young Miss of the Ning family is Song Ning.”
