The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 211

Chapter 211: Chapter 211

Yu Man spent millions just to make Jiang Weiwei stand out at the new student orientation, to suppress others, and become the freshman representative to deliver a speech at the assembly.

Two days ago, Jiang Weiwei had prepared her speech and practiced it countless times at home.

Yet, all of this had been destroyed by Jiang Moxi...

Multiple times Yu Man looked towards Xiao Zhi, signalling him to find a way to get Jiang Weiwei onstage.

But Xiao Zhi didn’t even dare glance in Yu Man’s direction, because Si Lin was not only his direct superior but also one of the two most feared figures in Yan City.

He could plainly see that everything Si Lin was doing today was to pave the way for Jiang Moxi. Who would dare upset him, was he looking for a death wish?

Xiao Zhi took money but did nothing. The Jiang Family could only watch helplessly as what should have been Jiang Weiwei’s moment of glory at the new student orientation became Jiang Moxi’s instead...

*

After the new student orientation, Jiang Moxi followed the other students to visit the classrooms they would soon use and see the latest innovations from the National Security Department.

Jiang Moxi lacked interest in these things, so she trailed at the very end of the group.

Unexpectedly, Yu Man caught up to her at this moment, yanking on Jiang Moxi’s clothes, shrieking, "Jiang Moxi, how can you be so shameless? Just to outdo Weiwei, you would stoop to doing anything?"

"How am I shameless?" Jiang Moxi’s eyes suddenly turned cold.

Even though she had already been deeply hurt by Yu Man, her biological mother, the way she unscrupulously slandered her still made her long-dead heart ache.

"If you weren’t shameless, why would Young Master Si show off for you like that? Also, did you disparage me and your father to him?"

Yu Man didn’t wait for Jiang Moxi to respond before she pressed charges against her.

"To climb up the ladder, you have no sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity, or shame! How could we have given birth to such a scourge?"

Yu Man’s accusations made Jiang Moxi feel utterly powerless.

She didn’t want to return to the Jiang Family anymore, so why did these people still insist on splashing dirty water on her?

"If you had any conscience at all, you should go find Young Master Si now, explain everything, and voluntarily give up your spot to study..."

Yu Man’s ranting was met only with a cold stare from Jiang Moxi, who looked on like an indifferent bystander.

It was Si Lin who saw Jiang Moxi lagging behind the group and circled back to find her.

He hadn’t expected to overhear Yu Man’s heart-wrenching accusations.

"So this crazy woman is actually your biological mother?"

Si Lin originally didn’t want to get involved, but in the end, he couldn’t tolerate it any longer and decided to step forward.

Yu Man’s face instantly turned a ghastly pale when Si Lin appeared unexpectedly.

However, she also saw it as an opportunity, a chance to clarify for herself and to slander Jiang Moxi.

She quickly wiped her tears and explained to Si Lin, "Young Master Si, I’m not a crazy woman. I had no choice. I was really driven to desperation by that cheap breed Jiang Moxi..."

Si Lin’s eyes grew colder and colder as he looked at Yu Man.

"Xixi has never mentioned you in front of me, and if I hadn’t accidentally overheard your conversation just now, I would have never known her biological parents could be such scoundrels like you!"

Yu Man was suddenly rendered speechless.

If Jiang Moxi had never brought them up to Si Lin, then why was it that Si Lin targeted them the moment he first met them?

"As for you calling Xixi ’cheap breed,’ to my knowledge, a normal birth mother would never bear to say such about her own child, because it’s like insulting herself too."

After logically rebutting Yu Man, Si Lin then turned to Jiang Moxi: "Are you sure this woman is really your mother? Have you done a DNA test?"

"I did." Jiang Moxi gave Yu Man a glance, a cool color hiding the desolation within her eyes.

"That’s a disaster having such parents. How about I help you kill them off?" Si Lin sneered with malice.

His demeanor in strategizing made it seem as though killing a person was as simple as killing an ant.

Yu Man was so frightened that she turned pale with shock.

Thankfully, at that moment, Jiang Weiwei and Jiang Guosheng arrived.

"Young Master Si, my partner has not been in the best state of mind recently, please forgive us."

Jiang Guosheng hurried forward to explain to Si Lin.

Si Lin mischievously said, "If she’s gone mad, she should be chained at home. It’s not good to let her run out and bite people."

Yu Man was extremely irritated, no one would like to be scolded as if they were a mad dog.

"Yes, yes, yes. I will definitely keep a better watch on my partner from now on."

Jiang Guosheng responded to Si Lin with a smile, while tightly pinching Yu Man’s hand, signaling her not to cause more trouble.

Seeing Yu Man compromised and calmed down, Jiang Guosheng then put on a loving gaze and looked at Jiang Moxi.

"Moxi, these past few days I’ve been eagerly awaiting your return home, having people make several health soups every day, just hoping you could have a warm sip the moment you get home."

He could sense that Si Lin’s attitude towards Jiang Moxi was quite unusual, so he thought if Jiang Moxi could marry into the Si Family and become the lady of the house, then in the future he would be Si Lin’s father-in-law.

That way, he would be unbeatable in the business arena in the future, let alone before other members of the Jiang Family; he reckoned they would all have to act according to his mood.

So now, he turned his attitude around by one hundred and eighty degrees.

But Jiang Moxi was just looking at him coldly, as if she already saw through his pretentious facade, and gave him the cold shoulder.

Therefore, Jiang Guosheng could only temporarily put away his smile and said sincerely to Jiang Moxi: "There are no permanent grudges between parents and children, no matter how far you go, home will always be your harbor."

Then, without waiting for Jiang Moxi to reply, Jiang Guosheng signaled Jiang Weiwei to help Yu Man leave with him.

Jiang Guosheng started to ingratiate himself with Jiang Moxi again, to which Jiang Weiwei was very dissatisfied, even full of a sense of crisis.

But after being chastised by Si Lin, Jiang Weiwei also became more cautious, not daring to speak casually with Si Lin anymore.

But this did not mean that she, Jiang Weiwei, would just sit and wait for Jiang Moxi to rise above her.

In the upcoming days at the Information Security Department, she would definitely seize the chance to change Si Lin’s impression of her, and then conquer him in one fell swoop.

Jiang Weiwei was full of confidence, after all, with the successful case of Fu Yiming, so she felt that it was only a matter of time before Si Lin became her devoted follower...

After the Jiang family trio left, Si Lin leaned close to Jiang Moxi and whispered in her ear, "I promised to escort and protect you, I didn’t break my word, did I?"

"Hmm, I thank your eight generations of ancestors."

Si Lin felt like he was being cursed, but Jiang Moxi’s eyes were so clean, as if she didn’t know that these were words of cursing.

So he took it as Jiang Moxi thanking him!

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day’s evening, and Jiang Moxi went to the Ling Family to tutor Ling Hua.

By the time the tutoring session ended, it was nearly dinner time.

The Ling siblings eagerly invited Jiang Moxi to stay and have dinner together, and Jiang Moxi accepted the invitation.

At this time, the doorbell suddenly rang.

After Ling Hua opened the door, she shouted with great excitement, "Brother, Uncle and Aunt Wangning have arrived."
