Chapter 2

Jiang Moxi returned to the Jiang family, dragging her exhausted body, thinking that her relationship with Fu Youhan was limited to last night.

As she and Fu Yiming had broken off their engagement, they would not see each other again in the future.

But she never expected that she would encounter him again so soon...

As soon as she arrived home, she overheard a conversation in the living room.

"Yiming will come over later to discuss how to announce his engagement with Weiwei. Sigh, I thought he and Moxi would end up together."

Her father, Jiang Guosheng sighed but there was little regret in his tone.

"There's really nothing to regret. He and Weiwei are a perfect match in terms of appearance and talent, while Moxi is ugly and incompetent. It's a real pity for Yiming to be with her."

Her mother, Yu Man remarked. Due to her humble background, she climbed up to the Jiang family by relying on her youthful beauty.

However, she was straightforward in her speech and behavior, unlike other women in the high who often hid their sharp remarks and pretended to be harmonious.

Hearing her mother's blunt words, Jiang Guosheng frowned and said, "You can say that when I'm around, but don't say such things in front of Yiming and the Fu family members. No matter what, Moxi is our biological daughter."

"I know, but sometimes I just can't control myself. Look at her, she hasn't changed a bit since we brought her back four years ago. Always putting on weird makeup and only able to attend a third-rate technical college for university. It would have been better if I gave birth to a piece of pork instead of her."

Yu Man felt uncomfortable. She had been mocked by the other two sisters-in-law of the Jiang family due to her background and was excluded from the high society circle. Fortunately, Jiang Guosheng's business had been doing well in recent years, and their status in the circle had gradually risen.

If they were to find out that their biological daughter was someone like Moxi, they would probably mock her genes!

"It's fortunate that we only announced her as an adopted daughter and allowed Weiwei to continue staying with us. Look at Weiwei, becoming more beautiful and capable each day, making us proud wherever she goes..."

Jiang Moxi leaned against the hall cabinet, her heavy black eyeliner smudged, making it hard to read her expression.

"Moxi, why don't you come inside?" a voice came from behind Jiang Moxi, silencing the conversation in the living room.

Both Yu Man and Jiang Guosheng turned around to see Jiang Moxi and Jiang Weiwei standing at the entrance, side by side.

Yu Man cast a quick glance at Jiang Moxi's colorful face, her displeasure evident in her tone. "You're back and you didn't even say anything?"

Then she looked at Jiang Weiwei, who was wearing a pink dress, with a gentle and sweet appearance, and her eyes softened slightly.

"I just got here," Jiang Moxi replied politely.

But Jiang Weiwei was exceptionally warm and enthusiastic, even taking the initiative to hold Jiang Moxi's and Yu Man's hands.

"Let's go to my room. Cloud Costume's new collection is launching today, and I managed to reserve two outfits for Mom and you to try on."

Cloud Costume, a brand established six years ago, was highly sought after by domestic and foreign high society figures. On the day of the new collection release, the outfits would be sold out in no time. Jiang Weiwei's ability to reserve two outfits for each of them required some effort.

Yu Man was a superfan of Cloud Costume and was instantly delighted. "Our Weiwei is so thoughtful."

She then turned to Jiang Moxi and said, "Moxi, why don't you thank your sister?"

Jiang Moxi, however, pulled her hand back. "Thank you, but I don't need it."

Yu Man suddenly got angry. "Do you think your messy appearance is attractive? If you were good-looking, you wouldn't have been rejected by someone. Weiwei is trying to help you look better, and you're acting all pretentious."

In Jiang Moxi's mind, she recalled a person covered in blood, gripping her hand and saying, "When you go back to the Jiang family, you mustn't let them find you. You must live well!"

She wanted to explain that she was only keeping her promise, but before she could finish her words, Jiang Weiwei held Yu Man's hand and said, "Mom, I was too eager to make Moxi look better and neglected her feelings. Don't blame Moxi. It's my fault."

Yu Man's heart trembled with emotion. How could she ever blame Jiang Weiwei? Every action she took was solely for Moxi's well-being. However, there were certain people whose hearts remained cold and unreceptive, no matter how much effort you put into trying to warm them.

Jiang Moxi looked at the two intimately embracing each other and decided not to explain further.

Jiang Weiwei looked at Jiang Moxi, then glanced at Yu Man, and finally said nothing more.

At that moment, Yu Man said, "By the way, Yiming and his cousin will be coming to discuss your engagement. They should be here soon."

Just as the words left her mouth, the servant led them into the room.

Jiang Moxi turned her head to glance, only to find Fu Yiming standing there, dressed neatly, and next to him was the man she had spent a passionate night with just the night before—

Fu Youhan!

He had changed into a black suit. With his already striking appearance and excellent temperament, he was now even more breathtakingly handsome. The mole at the corner of his right eye made his perfectly flawless face appear even more mysterious and cold, with a compelling aura.

Despite being seated in a wheelchair, propelled by Fu Yiming, Fu Youhan exuded an aura akin to that of a dark monarch reigning over the night.

Fu Yiming, who was usually well-dressed as a rich second-generation, looked like his attendant in comparison.

As Fu Yiming pushed him in, Fu Youhan casually glanced at the asymmetric decoration and arrangement of the living room and slightly frowned.

However, the Jiang family members came forward to greet them, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

Jiang Moxi, who had been examining Fu Youhan's legs curiously, wondered why he insisted on sitting when he could clearly stand.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly looked at her.

Though it was just a casual glance, Jiang Moxi felt that he saw right through last night's affair.

She quickly called out "uncle" and turned her face away.

Fu Youhan nodded slightly, and the two of them had no further interaction.

"Moxi, you just came back from outside. Go upstairs and change your clothes first," Jiang Guosheng said with a smile.

In Jiang Moxi's memory, Jiang Guosheng was always smiling at everyone.

But at this moment, she understood the disdain in his eyes. Perhaps he was afraid that she would embarrass herself here.

However, she didn't want to stay here to face Fu Youhan anymore, so she followed Jiang Guosheng's hint and prepared to go upstairs.

However, a cat's meow made her suddenly turn around and saw Yu Man's ragdoll suddenly jumping toward her from the cabinet.

Jiang Moxi was most afraid of small animals with fur.

Seeing the ragdoll pouncing toward her, she hurriedly stepped back.

Accidentally, she fell onto something.

Jiang Moxi was startled and turned back, realizing that she had fallen onto Fu Youhan's lap.

Fu Youhan wanted to push her away immediately, but suddenly he caught a whiff of the cherry blossom fragrance on her body, the same fragrance as last night's woman.

Therefore...

Was she the woman from last night?
