The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 81

Chapter 81: Chapter 81

Jiang Moxi looked at Jiang Weiwei’s deliberately affected noble airs and couldn’t be bothered to argue with her about the vote rigging. She asked Jiang Weiwei idly.

"Don’t you think this supporting female role is tailor-made for you? It’s a waste if you don’t take it."

The stepsister of Cinderella is the daughter that the stepmother brings home after marrying their father.

She bears no blood relation to Cinderella, yet she usurps her place, making Cinderella a servant in her own home.

From these two aspects, the stepsister’s character is indeed strikingly similar to Jiang Weiwei.

As expected, the gentle smile on Jiang Weiwei’s face couldn’t hold up anymore.

"So Moxi, in your eyes, I’m never truly a member of the Jiang Family, but I’m always occupying what belongs to you?"

She appeared unable to bear Jiang Moxi’s harsh words, with her eyes even reddening.

But Jiang Moxi was no longer surprised by her rapid change of expressions.

"Isn’t that the truth? Why do you always pretend to be so wronged?"

"I..." Jiang Weiwei wanted to defend herself.

But Jiang Moxi didn’t give her the chance: "Jiang Weiwei, you haven’t settled the last time you framed me! If you know what’s good for you, stop playing dirty tricks, otherwise, I will make you lose everything you care about."

This was the first time Jiang Moxi directly warned Jiang Weiwei.

The dirty trick Jiang Weiwei played last time truly disgusted her.

But what Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man did hurt her even more.

That’s why she didn’t seek evidence to prove her innocence, but just moved out.

But if Jiang Weiwei dares to disgust her again, she is capable of anything.

After dropping these words, Jiang Moxi couldn’t bother to face Jiang Weiwei’s hypocritical expressions any longer and left with her backpack.

Watching Jiang Moxi’s retreating figure fading into the distance, the gentleness in Jiang Weiwei’s eyes turned into malice.

Jiang Moxi actually dares to accuse her of usurping the nest?

If Jiang Moxi hadn’t come back, everything in the Jiang Family would have been hers from the beginning!

Now Jiang Moxi even dares to threaten her in return; naturally, she couldn’t swallow this grievance.

So that very evening, she returned to the Jiang Family with swollen eyes.

Upon seeing her, Yu Man became anxious immediately, comforted her, and urged her to reveal the reason for her tears.

Upon learning it was because Jiang Moxi rigged the votes to steal the Cinderella role meant for Jiang Weiwei and even mocked her ability to naturally play the supporting female, Yu Man immediately called Jiang Moxi.

By that time, Jiang Moxi had already arrived at Night Color and just changed into her uniform as Yu Man’s call came through.

"Come back home right now."

Yu Man’s hysteria was as if it turned into tangible flames, rushing through the radio waves and hitting Jiang Moxi in the face.

"Speak if you have something to say, otherwise I’m hanging up."

When Jiang Moxi saw the incoming caller ID, she had a tiny bit of hope in her heart.

But Yu Man’s roar made her snap back to reality.

She had already roughly guessed what troublemaker Jiang Weiwei had stirred up in front of Yu Man, and the rare initiative Yu Man took in calling her was just to reprimand her.

As expected, Yu Man quickly broke into a tirade.

"Weiwei, I’ve raised her myself since she was a child, she is even closer to me than my own child, in my eyes, she is the future master of this house. What are you, daring to say she usurped a place..."

"I really regret why I brought you back home in the first place! If it wasn’t for you, our family of three would have been so happy."

Yu Man’s voice was filled with malice as she spoke, defending Jiang Weiwei with every ounce of her strength. Jiang Moxi actually felt quite envious.

She had once fantasized that if she spent more time with Yu Man, perhaps one day Yu Man would come to love her the same way she loves Jiang Weiwei.

But now it seemed clear that in that family, she would always be an outsider. How could she possibly be loved?

Jiang Moxi quickly hung up the phone and also blocked Yu Man’s number.

Since Yu Man didn’t want her around, from now on they shouldn’t disturb each other, and may they each live well...

Just as she had put away her phone and was about to push open the door to the private room on the ninth floor, she heard a familiar male voice from behind.

"Jiang Moxi, what’s wrong?"

Jiang Moxi turned around and saw Si Lin standing not far away.

He probably had just rushed over from some formal event, still in a suit with a white shirt, except the tie was loosely undone, and two buttons had been unfastened.

Under the dim light of the hallway, his already profound facial features appeared even more three-dimensional, giving off an unsettling charm.

However, Jiang Moxi showed no extra emotion towards him, "Nothing."

After replying coldly, Jiang Moxi was about to push open the door to the private room.

But Si Lin stepped forward and grabbed her wrist: "Who upset you just now?"

He looked down at her, and even though she wore ugly makeup and her skin was dark, those clear and dust-free eyes of hers inexplicably caught his attention.

And right now, those beautiful eyes of hers clearly held visible sadness.

"What does it matter to you if I’m upset?"

Annoyed, Jiang Moxi withdrew her hand and pushed open the door to the private room, with Si Lin naturally following closely behind.

When the two of them entered, one after the other, they realized that there were quite a few people in the private room, Fu Youhan among them.

He too was dressed in a black suit today, with a matching black shirt, not wearing a tie, and even sitting in a wheelchair, he appeared utterly elegant and immensely dignified.

Si Lin was the first to glance at Fu Youhan, and the next second, a sly curve crossed his thin lips.

"Moxi, you are my girlfriend. Of course, it matters to me if you’re unhappy."

He was speaking to Jiang Moxi, but his gaze was fixed on Fu Youhan.

Fu Youhan’s attention suddenly shifted to Jiang Moxi, his entire persona becoming extremely somber and frosty, and his voice was tinged with an icy tone.

"Is the relationship confirmed? If so, it seems Young Master Si will soon have to call me ’little uncle.’"

Si Lin paused, then quickly regained his smile: "To follow where the marriage leads, I’ll start calling you that the day we get our marriage certificate."

Fu Youhan took a sip of his drink, "We shall see."

The two men seemed to be joking and laughing, but invisibly, sparks were flying around in the room.

It was only after Ye Chen made an effort to smooth things over and liven up the atmosphere, that the people in the private room became lively again.

Even Fu Youhan seemed to blend in with the gathering, chatting with people in the circle.

Jiang Moxi stole glances at him several times, noticing that even though he was smiling, there seemed to be a barrier, making him inscrutable.

So after midnight passed, when most of the people had left the private room, Jiang Moxi was about to go back in to tidy up, but found that the door to the private room was ajar.

Through this door, she could clearly hear the conversation between Fu Youhan and Ye Chen inside.

"You can obviously see that Si Lin is just playing with her. If you were serious, you’d simply appease her nicely and she’d be back in your arms in no time."

Ye Chen was persuading Fu Youhan.

And Fu Youhan, with a light sneer, countered him: "Just a fling, what’s there to appease?"

Listening to the man’s almost indifferent voice, Jiang Moxi suddenly felt like her earlier desire to explain things to him without considering the consequences was just a joke...
