Mr. Lu, don't be arrogant.

Chapter 183 I Want to Change My Son-in-Law

Mu Wanying started to pay attention to Sister Zhang when her grandmother told her that Sister Zhang sometimes rummaged through things in her grandmother's room.

I asked my mother later, but she didn't get any useful information.

She could only turn her attention back to her grandmother, and observe from time to time how Sister Zhang treated her grandmother. She paid attention to her when she was in front of her and when she was not, but she could not find any flaws at all.

Sister Zhang treats grandma even more carefully and gently than she does, and it doesn't seem like she's just pretending.

But Sister Zhang still searched grandma's room last night, which can only prove one thing: Sister Zhang has other plans and is more likely to be following orders from someone.

It was impossible for Sister Zhang to confess before that person spoke.

But Sister Zhang still found her early in the morning and confessed, which means that Sister Zhang had obtained permission and authorization, and the person behind Sister Zhang allowed Sister Zhang to do so.

As for the person behind it...

Mu Wanying thought about it and the only one she could think of was Jiang Shangru; she couldn't think of a second one.

"Makes sense."

Jiang Shangru refilled his teacup and took a sip from it, still calm and composed, but he hesitated to say the rest of the words and did not defend himself.

Mu Wanying was a little anxious and was about to speak when she was stopped by Lu Linfeng.

Lu Linfeng also imitated Jiang Shangru, gracefully picking up the teacup in front of him and bringing it to his wife's lips, "Wanying, have some tea!"

"Lin Feng?"

Mu Wanying was puzzled and turned to look at her husband.

Lu Linfeng smiled and continued to feed his wife tea.

After Mu Wanying took a sip, he slowly said, "Wanying, you'll be busy again after the New Year. It's rare for you to be reunited with Mom. Why don't we bring Mom over to stay with us for a few days?"

"what?"

"Take our mother home and stay at home for a few days!"

"Take our mother home?"

Mu Wanying didn't react.

Jiang Shangru was anxious. Before Mu Wanying could say anything else, he kicked Lu Linfeng on the leg and glared at him, saying, "You little bastard, do you deserve a beating?"

"No."

Lu Linfeng answered in a gangster tone, and leisurely took out a tissue to wipe the tea from the corner of his wife's mouth, and gave Mu Wanying a wink.

Mu Wanying finally reacted and was about to continue with Lu Linfeng's words, planning to take her mother away to spend a few days together, when she heard Jiang Shangru cough twice, and finally got to the point and turned to Mu Wanying.

"I arranged for Xiao Zhang to be here. She did tell me what happened last night. I asked her to find something for me while she was taking care of the old lady. As for what she was looking for, she should have told you guys right away. Tell me, what do you want to ask?"

"What a shame! You're playing tricks on your own daughter! You deserve to be punished!"

Lu Linfeng spoke out in front of his father-in-law without mercy.

After saying that, he gently bumped his wife's arm and said, "Wanying, just ask whatever you want to ask. This old man has already helped you."

Jiang Shangru: ...

Brat!

It's getting more and more outrageous!

What should I do if I really want to change my son-in-law?

Mu Wanying: ...

His methods of manipulating people are becoming more and more powerful!

Great!

Mu Wanying gave the man an appreciative look and then spoke to her father.

"Sister Zhang said you've been sending money to my mother, Mu Xiu. When did you start sending money to my mother, Mu Xiu? How did you get the money?"

"It started when I gave you to her to raise, when you were only a few months old. At first, I gave her cash directly in an envelope. Your mother and I went to hand it to her personally. She kept a small account book, and I didn't ask her to, but she always wrote it down."

Jiang Shangru put down his teacup and answered in a low voice.

Mu Wanying bit her lip and continued to ask, "What happened next?"

"Later, as the use of bank cards gradually became more common, I switched to using your mother's name to transfer money to her bank card."

"How much? How often?"

"The time is fixed, once every three months, and the amount is not fixed, ranging from as little as 18,000 to as much as tens of thousands. On average, it's about 100,000 yuan a year."

"One hundred thousand?"

Mu Wanying asked in surprise.

She had the impression that she had always lived a hard life in her adoptive parents' home, and that they often quarreled over financial issues.

If Jiang Shangru really gave so much, it would add up to at least a million. Adding the income of his adoptive father Chen Quan and his adoptive mother Mu Xiu's mother, they should have lived a good life. Why did things become so chaotic later?

"You didn't lie to me?"

Mu Wanying looked at her father steadily.

Jiang Shangru shook his head, stood up and went to his desk, opened the drawer, took out a file bag, and walked over slowly with the file bag.

"This is the account I've kept over the years, as well as my remittance records. I'm not lying to you, this is indeed the number."

Jiang Shangru handed the file bag to his daughter Mu Wanying and sighed, "I'm sorry, Wanying. Dad knows that this amount of money is insignificant compared to what he spent on you, your sisters, and your younger brother. Over the years, Dad's care and concern for you are indeed not as much as for you, your sisters, and your younger brother. But Dad is not completely unconcerned about you. Dad is just..."

Jiang Shangru lowered his head.

He choked a few times before speaking again.

"Dad just wasn't good enough. He didn't love you or care about you enough, and he was so obsessed with saving face that he suffered. When you were little, the policy was strict. Dad was worried that his work and your mom's work would be affected, so he didn't dare to visit you often. Later, when we had a big argument, he didn't know how to give in to you, so... so that we ended up like this."

As he spoke, Jiang Shangru stood up.

After taking two steps back, he solemnly bowed deeply to Mu Wanying. "Wanying, Daddy's sorry. Daddy is sorry for you! Daddy doesn't ask for your forgiveness, nor does he dare to hope that you can call me Daddy again. I only ask you... I only ask you... Don't treat Daddy as an enemy or rival! When you come to see your mother, if you can glance at me, even just for a moment, Daddy will be satisfied!"

Jiang Shangru had never bowed his head in front of others like this before.

Even the old man of the Jiang family has his own principles.

Mu Wanying was not aware of this, but Lu Linfeng, who had lived next door since childhood, was clear about it.

Therefore, he did not interrupt, but just sat beside his wife Wanying and quietly looked at the man in front of him who was about the same age as his father.

Mu Wanying had already opened the file bag and found Jiang Shangru's account book and remittance records.

As the tears flowed, her eyes gradually became moist.

Let’s not talk about anything else.

Mu Xiu’s mother’s bank card cannot be forged.

She remembered the bank where the account was opened and the last few digits of the card. She also knew that the card was given to her grandmother after Mu Xiu's mother died.

But neither Mu Xiu's mother nor her grandmother mentioned it to her.

They didn't even mention that her father had sent them money or made payments.

why?

Why don't they say it?

Why don’t they say anything?

Were they hiding these things for her own good? Or was there some other consideration?

Mu Wanying's thoughts were a little confused.

She sniffed, looked up and asked Jiang Shangru: "Why didn't you tell me these things directly? Why did you let Sister Zhang go through grandma's things? If Sister Zhang found it, what would you do?"
