Chapter 98 This time it's 1
“I just got back from outside. I heard your mother-in-law telling Jiang Xiaoran in the hallway to listen to her mother. I thought you were back, so I stood at the door waiting for you to say a few words. Guess who I saw?”
Song Qiao's heart skipped a beat: "Who?"
“Zhao Xiaoya came downstairs with your daughter. I sensed something was wrong. Did you and Jiang Ming get divorced, and Zhao Xiaoya became Xiao Ran’s mother?”
Upon hearing this, Song Qiao understood: Zhao Xiaoya had gone to the school district property and taken Jiang Xiaoran away.
"Sister-in-law, you must have misheard. I haven't divorced Jiang Ming."
"That's not right. I clearly heard your mother-in-law tell Xiao Ran to listen to her mother. Did Zhao Xiaoya become Xiao Ran's godmother?"
To prevent the situation from spiraling out of control, Song Qiao said on the phone, "It's Zhao Xiaoya who insists on recognizing Ranran as her godmother."
Hearing this, Liu Yan felt relieved: "I told you, you startled me. I thought Jiang Xiaoran was Zhao Xiaoya's daughter."
Liu Yan had been thinking about something. Jiang Xiaoran had always been short-tempered, arrogant, and dishonest, unlike Song Qiao. Just now, she really had a feeling that Jiang Xiaoran and Zhao Xiaoya were very similar.
"Since I misheard, it's alright now. Xiao Song, I haven't seen you for several days, and I've missed you quite a bit. When are you coming back? I'd like to come visit you."
Song Qiao knew it was because of her promotion of Zhang Xiaodong, and Liu Yan had always wanted to express her gratitude.
"Sister-in-law, there's been so much going on at the company lately. My dad isn't feeling well, so I'm staying at the company for now. I've just taken over some things and need to get to know them. I won't be going home for now; my child is being taken care of by her grandma anyway."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yan couldn't help but say on the phone, "Xiao Song, you've helped your sister-in-law so much, I should treat you to a meal. When are you free? I'll treat you!"
Upon hearing Liu Yan's words, Song Qiao quickly said, "Sister-in-law, I know it's because of Brother Zhang. Don't overthink it. Brother Zhang's major is relevant to his job. I put him in charge of quality supervision because he has the ability. You don't need to keep asking me. We've been neighbors for so many years and we know each other well. Brother Zhang is suitable for this job."
Hearing Song Qiao's words, Liu Yan was so moved she almost cried. She said on the phone, "Then I won't bother you anymore. You go ahead and do your work."
Zhang Xiaodong usually doesn't tell her about things at the company, because Liu Yan is a gossip. Although she's not a bad person, she's easy to talk to. Liu Yan didn't even know that Song Jianguo was sick and hospitalized, otherwise she would have gone to the hospital to see him long ago.
Song Qiao and Liu Yan ended their call and were about to call Zhao Xiaoya when Jiang Ming came out of the operating room after receiving a blood transfusion.
He looked at Tong Yao's mother and said, "Your daughter needed blood, and I gave her a transfusion. You have to keep your word and not cause any more trouble for our family."
Seeing Jiang Ming looking exhausted from the blood transfusion, Tong Yao's mother was about to agree when she suddenly remembered what Song Qiao had told her.
He hurriedly said, "The blood transfusion was done, but my daughter was beaten and needs to be hospitalized. Also, I can't go to work for a while because I have to take care of her. You have to give us money. After she gets better, I need to take her to see a psychologist. The doctor said that she has psychological problems after your daughter beat her last time."
These were all taught to me by Song Qiao.
When Jiang Ming heard Tong Yao's mother asking for money, he angrily asked, "Didn't we agree that if I saved your daughter, you wouldn't pursue the matter?"
"I said I wouldn't call the police, but I didn't say I wouldn't pay for my daughter's medical treatment. You have to pay!"
Jiang Ming glanced at Song Qiao suspiciously, wondering if she knew the child wasn't hers and had taught her to say it.
"Why are you looking at me like that? This is all your mother's fault. Ranran got into a fight and your mother even hit her. That child inside is only five years old. After this happened, shouldn't you reflect on your actions?"
Upon hearing Song Qiao's words, Tong Yao's mother suddenly retorted, "I won't pursue the matter of the child, but your mother is an adult, and you need to give us an explanation for this."
Jiang Ming was thoroughly annoyed. He glanced at Tong Yao's mother and asked, "How many do you want?"
"one million!"
Tong Yao's mother looked worried, wondering if Song Qiao knew that Tong Yao was the daughter she had found. At first, she suspected that Song Qiao had made a mistake, until she saw Jiang Ming donate blood to her daughter and then she was certain of the truth.
Jiang Ming was furious when he heard that Tong Yao's mother wanted one million.
"One million? Is your daughter made of gold?"
Hearing Jiang Ming's words, Song Qiao couldn't help but walk up to him: "Is this how an adult should talk? Jiang Ming, let me tell you, I stopped Tong Yao's mother from hiring a lawyer. Since you're talking like this, I'm not getting involved in this matter anymore. You can handle it yourself."
After saying this, Song Qiao turned to leave, but behind her she heard Tong Yao's mother calling the police on her phone: "Hello! 110?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming turned around and said, "One million it is, I admit defeat!"
Seeing Tong Yao's mother put down her phone, Jiang Ming looked at Song Qiao and said, "Can you pay for me first? I don't have any money on me!"
“Jiang Ming, the child got into trouble because of your mother. Why should I pay for it? You should pay for it yourself. I’ve already spoken to the company’s finance department. From now on, you need to check every single penny carefully.”
After saying this, Song Qiao turned to leave. Jiang Ming was afraid that Tong Yao's mother would call the police again, so he quickly went over and grabbed her: "I'll pay for it myself. Don't go. Wait until the child is out and everything is alright before you leave."
Song Qiao also wanted to see if the child was alright. Hearing Jiang Ming's words, she gave him a cold look: "Don't think I don't know how much you took from the company!"
In front of Tong Yao's mother, Jiang Ming couldn't talk to Song Qiao about this, so he took out his phone and dialed Zhao Xiaoya's number.
At this moment, Zhao Xiaoya had already taken Jiang Xiaoran to the Moon Palace, and saw that it was Jiang Ming who answered the phone.
"Hey! Honey."
Jiang Ming was so frightened that he hid his phone behind his back and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Transfer me one million right now, I need it urgently!"
When Zhao Xiaoya heard that Jiang Ming was asking her for money again, she immediately became unhappy: "Where would I get any money?"
"I gave you a million a few days ago to buy bags and clothes. I'll use it first and pay you back in a few days!"
Song Qiao pretended not to hear and let the two chat on the phone.
"No! By the way, I've brought Ranran here; she'll be staying with me for now."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming glanced at Song Qiao, wanting to call her an idiot, but remembering that he still needed to get the money from her, he quickly said, "Hurry up and transfer the money. This girl's mother won't let my mother go if she doesn't give her the money. I'm going to call the police!"
“This whole thing was caused by your mother. Would it have turned out this way if she hadn’t been involved? Song Qiao insisted on sending Ranran to a juvenile detention center. Let that girl’s mother call the police. Arrest your mother and put her in jail for a few days. That’ll save you a million.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming started cursing on the phone: "What nonsense are you talking about? That's my mother. Do you think I'd let my mother go to jail?"
"What should I do? I have no money!"
Zhao Xiaoya has been spending money on Jiang Ming lately, which makes her very angry.
"You forgot what I told you, that you'll have money in the future, more money than you can spend."
Even now, Jiang Ming has no choice but to resort to his ultimate trick: making empty promises to Zhao Xiaoya.
When will you divorce Song Qiao?
Zhao Xiaoya also wanted to outmaneuver Jiang Ming.
"It'll be quick. Transfer the money to me now, and we'll talk about it after this matter has calmed down."
The two of them chatted for a long time, and in the end, Jiang Ming managed to swindle the money.
Jiang Ming transferred one million to Tong Yao's mother, but she looked at Song Qiao and suddenly didn't want to accept it anymore.
She suspected that Song Qiao already knew about Tong Yao's background.
