Chapter 1410: Chapter 1437: Accumulated Disappointments 5
Jiang Tian couldn’t hear what they were talking about, as they were a bit far away.
But she could tell that they were having an enjoyable conversation.
She could even hear Shi Yue’s crisp laughter, and she hugged Lu Xingshen.
Lu Xingshen reached out and touched Shi Yue’s head.
Jiang Tian stared blankly, as if she’d been frozen in place, the whole world fell silent.
Her heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by a giant hand, causing her to struggle for breath, her face pale.
Was Lu Xingshen always this tolerant and gentle towards Shi Yue in private?
His tenderness could be extended to anyone but her.
If she hadn’t realized she was in love with Lu Xingshen, Jiang Tian wouldn’t feel so heartbroken. What upset her more was how well Lu Xingshen treated Shi Yue.
If Shi Yue hadn’t repeatedly troubled her, hadn’t almost caused Zhouzhou harm, given Shi Yue is Lu Xingshen’s niece, Jiang Tian would find it normal for him to be kind to Shi Yue.
But that’s not the case, Jiang Tian can endure many grievances, but she can’t bear Lu Xingshen’s kindness towards Shi Yue.
Jiang Tian couldn’t watch anymore, she turned around, with Lu Zhou asleep in her arms, he didn’t see his mother’s tears streaming down.
"Tiantian, what are you doing here?"
Shi Yue appeared in front of Jiang Tian at some point, wearing a dazzling smile, as if appraising something cheap.
Jiang Tian wiped her tears, "Nothing."
"Why are you crying?" Shi Yue looked concerned, "Are you uncomfortable? Do you need me to call the family doctor for you?"
Jiang Tian slowly calmed down and met Shi Yue’s gaze, "Third Miss Shi, you know I’m from the countryside, I don’t have many tricks up my sleeve, I won’t pretend, so stop pretending with me, okay?"
Shi Yue’s smile gradually disappeared, she smirked, "Not bad, Tiantian, you’ve finally learned to be proactive."
Jiang Tian looked at her coldly, "Third Miss Shi, I believe I’ve never wronged you, why do you have it out for me? Why did you set me up last time?"
"Can’t you see?" Shi Yue scoffed, "You haven’t offended me, but who told you to get pregnant with my Second Uncle’s child and marry him? Tell me, what gives a village girl like you the right?!"
Jiang Tian was stunned, "Just because of this?"
"What else?" Shi Yue didn’t plan to tell Jiang Tian about her feelings for Lu Xingshen now; she’d save that revelation for a critical moment, to deliver a heavy blow to Jiang Tian.
She curled her lips, "You’re just a country girl who used unscrupulous means to marry my Second Uncle, and I’m expected to treat you with courtesy? Honestly, I think you’re not worthy of my Second Uncle. You should leave him sooner, understand."
Jiang Tian stared at her, "Whether I’m worthy or not isn’t decided by you. You could tell all this to Lu Xingshen, why don’t you? Because you don’t dare, you only pick soft targets to bully!"
Shi Yue’s expression stiffened slightly; she hadn’t expected this rural woman to be so sharp-tongued.
She narrowed her eyes, "Don’t think that having a son means you’ll rise in status because of him; there are plenty of women outside wanting to have children for Second Uncle, what makes you special?
I’m giving you a way out now; you can’t hold onto Second Uncle’s heart with just you, neither of you are suited for each other, don’t wait till later when you’re utterly broken and leave crying."
Jiang Tian kept a stiff face and said nothing.
Shi Yue continued, "And Jiang Tian, don’t think about using the incident I framed you with as leverage; do you think Second Uncle is foolish? He already knows it was me."
