The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 67

Chapter 67: Chapter 67

Jiang Weiwei, Yu Man, and Jiang Guosheng were all taken aback by Xiao Qingyun’s audacity to ask such a question to their faces.

For a moment, the smiles on the three of their faces stiffened.

However, Jiang Weiwei always maintained the image of a well-behaved girl in public, so she didn’t show a cold face immediately, but looked slightly aggrieved at Yu Man.

Yu Man couldn’t bear seeing her with that expression.

That’s why Yu Man immediately retorted with a cold sneer at Xiao Qingyun.

"This opportunity belongs to our family; who gave you the right to interfere?"

"Indeed, it’s not my place to interfere, but I mention this out of goodwill, just to give a reminder to my brother and sister-in-law."

Xiao Qingyun gave an embarrassed smile before continuing.

"Regardless, Moxi is your biological daughter. If you give all the good things to Weiwei, then what about Moxi? She has suffered for so many years. Do you still want her to continue living such a hard life in the future?"

In a corner, Jiang Moxi looked on indifferently like an outsider, watching the drama unfold in the distance.

Suddenly, a female voice spoke up beside her, "Although it’s evident that your aunt is just clashing with your mom, she still spoke a fair word for you."

Jiang Moxi looked up and saw Li Tinglu, the daughter of her aunt Jiang Ruxin, sitting beside her.

Li Tinglu, like Jiang Moxi, was not fond of bustling scenes.

She had just arrived in the hall when Yu Man and Xiao Qingyun started their confrontation.

So, she went straight to greet Jiang Tairan and Du Yuke, then came to sit in this corner with Jiang Moxi.

"If you’re feeling upset, you can talk to me. Although I can’t fight them for you, I can certainly be your emotional trash can."

Li Tinglu said this while pouring Jiang Moxi a cup of warm water.

She had been practicing martial arts from a young age, hence developing a character that sympathized with the underdogs and believed in chivalrous deeds.

So whenever she saw Jiang Moxi, she would instinctively take care of her.

Jiang Moxi was immediately amused by Li Tinglu: "Thank you, trash can."

Li Tinglu playfully flicked her short hair: "No worries, trash."

Meanwhile, Yu Man counterattacked Xiao Qingyun with great confidence.

"Even if we give this rare opportunity to Moxi, she won’t be able to grasp it. Weiwei is different; she is so intelligent, once she gets into the Information Security Department, she will definitely achieve great things."

"Don’t be so sure. Some kids only excel in things they are interested in. I noticed Moxi had an interest in computers before. If you give her the chance, she might even outshine Weiwei."

Xiao Qingyun retorted against Yu Man logically.

But Yu Man felt that Xiao Qingyun, being a university professor, was good at lecturing.

"What do you know? We gave her a chance too, but she utterly disappointed us!"

While saying this, Yu Man looked towards Jiang Moxi with a face full of resentment.

Even as her eyes met Jiang Moxi’s directly, Yu Man didn’t attempt to hide the anger and hatred in her eyes.

That gaze reminded Jiang Moxi of the day when Jiang Weiwei came up with that fake abortion fee document. Yu Man had looked at her in the same hysterical and almost uncontrollable way.

Jiang Moxi suddenly understood why Jiang Weiwei had suddenly produced that fake abortion fee document.

So the next second, her cold gaze also fell on Jiang Weiwei.

At that moment, Jiang Weiwei was also looking at her.

In the instant their gazes met, Jiang Weiwei didn’t evade but instead coyly smiled at Jiang Moxi.

Yes, the fake abortion fee document was her doing, aiming for the spot at the Information Security Department!

No matter what, the spot now belongs to her, and even if Jiang Moxi realizes what’s really going on, there’s nothing she can do about it.

Seeing Jiang Weiwei’s smile also made Jiang Moxi almost certain about her suspicions.

So, when others feared that the dispute between Yu Man and Xiao Qingyun would continue and become uncontrollable, they started to smooth things over.

Jiang Moxi hacked into the National Security Department using her phone and left this message on their website:

"I don’t need the two million nor the job offer at the National Security Department, just give me a spot at the Information Security Department."

By the time she finished her operation, the dinner party had just begun, and various exquisite dishes were being served, receiving endless praise from many guests.

Li Tinglu, when the dishes were served, would always set the table for Jiang Moxi.

"Try this one. If you find the chopsticks difficult to use, use a spoon instead."

Indeed, Li Tinglu’s attentiveness was far removed from her rough and tomboyish appearance.

"Thank you."

With Li Tinglu setting the table, Jiang Moxi discreetly enjoyed her meal using a spoon.

However, not long after the dinner began, a member of the National Security Department, Xiao Zhi, had to suddenly leave.

Xiao Zhi was highly respected by Jiang Tairan and Du Yuke, so seeing him about to leave, the elderly couple personally tried to make him stay.

Seeing the elderly couple standing up, members of the Jiang Family also hurriedly stood up to persuade Xiao Zhi to stay.

"Mr. Xiao, what urgent matter has come up?"

"Mr. Xiao, whatever it is, why not finish dinner before addressing it?"

"Yes, Mr. Xiao. The banquet has just begun, and you’re already leaving..."

But Xiao Zhi kept shaking his head: "Just now, a Justice Hacker hacked into the National Security Department’s system; they turned down two million and only asked for a place to study at the Information Security Department, so the higher-ups asked us to rush back immediately to discuss this."

Thus, the Jiang family began to discuss it among themselves.

"What? Just a place to study at the Information Security Department?"

"It must be fake, right? The Justice Hacker already has the opportunity to work at the National Security Department, why would they want to study at the Information Security Department?"

But Xiao Zhi said: "It seems to be true. Our personnel tracked his terminal and found that he only used a mobile phone, yet the line he left on the National Security Department’s system—we’ve deployed a large number of staff and still can’t erase it to this moment..."

Jiang Weiwei, who was also nearby with Du Yuke, heard Xiao Zhi mention the spot to study at the Information Security Department, and suddenly thought of Jiang Moxi.

She sharply looked up at Jiang Moxi, noticing that Jiang Moxi was also cooling looking back at her.

That gaze, actually no different from usual.

But somehow that gaze made Jiang Weiwei’s heart skip a few beats for no reason.

Yes, her intuition told her that the Justice Hacker’s request for a place to study at the Information Security Department was likely related to Jiang Moxi.

But soon, Jiang Weiwei refuted the idea herself.

Jiang Moxi was so mediocre, how could she be worth such a grand effort by the Justice Hacker?

It must have been because they had just mentioned Jiang Weiwei was going to study at the Information Security Department, and just then, the Justice Hacker also happened to make the same demand, which led her to worry over connecting these two.

After calming herself down, Xiao Zhi also Finished explaining more or less.

Thus, he looked at his watch and said: "Once again, I wish the elder couple a happy golden wedding anniversary and longevity. But I really must leave now."

Seeing that Xiao Zhi was indeed in a rush, others found it hard to ask him to stay any longer.

Thus, they all reminded Xiao Zhi to be careful on the road and to come visit the family when he has time.
