What did she tell them?

Didn't she say that?

How did this hypocritical couple treat her back then?

They threatened her, insulted her, and refused to give her a single penny.

They actually have the nerve to say such things now.

Jiang Momo suppressed her rising temper, then suddenly noticed the word "club" in her mother's words.

Wait a minute... how did they know I was working part-time at the club?

Jiang Momo doesn't remember ever saying that.

Are they following her?

In the shortest amount of time, Jiang Momo had already figured out the general course of events.

"What exactly do you want? Are you looking for trouble?"

She had long witnessed how shameless and despicable this family was, and her decision to say those words carried a sense of desperation.

She had endured enough during this period; at worst, she would fight them to the death.

That's what I thought, but how easy is it to achieve such a goal?

Jiang Momo still couldn't truly give up everything she had.

After all, she had finally gotten into Jingchuang, and her grandmother was still hospitalized, requiring a lot of medical expenses.

She can only be manipulated by him.

"Get back here as quickly as possible."

Jiang Momo did not answer; her hands and feet felt cold.

Unable to hear her reply, the person on the other end grew even angrier. This time, it was Jiang's father who spoke:

"You've really become capable, haven't you? We can't even get you to do anything with us now."

"Or are you really that eager to make your affairs public?"

"How about we print them out and put the photos up at the hospital entrance, so that your beloved old lady can also see for herself what shameful things her most cherished granddaughter has been doing behind your back?"

photo.

Jiang Momo bit her lip.

Those bastards, I don't know where they got her photos from!

The other party didn't give Jiang Momo much of a chance to react and hung up the phone directly.

A message came through: "I need to see you within half an hour."

The short message contained nearly a hundred messages, all of which were insults directed at Jiang Momo by this family.

They are blood relatives, but nobody cares about that.

They only wanted to profit from her, trying every means to squeeze every last drop of value out of her.

Jiang Momo's hand holding the phone was still trembling.

She has to go today.

But we absolutely cannot let them get away with this for nothing.

Isn't it just about secretly obtaining evidence to manipulate her? What this family can do, she can do too.

Fortunately, it was already time to leave work today. This was the first time Jiang Momo hadn't worked overtime since she started working at Jingchuang, and she left right on time.

It just so happens that I came across a cloisonné.

"President Jing."

At the elevator entrance, Jiang Momo greeted them politely, then waited anxiously for the elevator.

The display screen in front of them showed that the elevator was still stuck on the third basement level.

Seeing the urgency on her face, Jing Tailan asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Is something wrong?"

Unable to tell the truth, Jiang Momo knew that she couldn't just make up an excuse in front of Jing Tailan.

She could only say half of it: "Something came up at home and they need me to come back."

Jing Tailan nodded and kindly spoke up:

"I remember you don't usually drive to and from get off work. Since you're in such a hurry, I'll take you there today."

Jiang Momo was half apprehensive and half flattered.

"Mr. Jing, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it? Do you think I'm some kind of exploitative boss?"

Jiang Momo, who was usually very serious, suddenly made a joke, and she couldn't refuse her kindness, so she had no choice but to agree.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Jing."

The elevator doors opened, and the two of them walked in together, then arrived at the underground parking garage.

Jingtailan's car is just like its owner—understated yet high-end. Its overall black and gold color scheme makes it extremely eye-catching in the underground parking garage.

Jiang Momo first opened the car door for Jing Tailan before sitting in the passenger seat.

She was somewhat uneasy the whole way.

After all, the person sitting next to her, so close to her, is her idol from her school days.

Back when she was still a student, she longed for the day when she could stand beside Jing Tailan.

Now that all her hopes have finally come true, Jiang Momo is unable to completely relax.

It's all because of the constraints of my own identity.

But she had told herself this countless times.

Sooner or later, she will break free from Jiang Weiwei's shadow and, under her own identity and the name Jiang Momo, follow Jing Tailan openly and proudly.

Thinking of this gave her more motivation. Suddenly, someone called her name. Jiang Momo came back to her senses and heard Jing Tailan say:

"Actually, there's something I've never understood: why did you refuse my invitation back then?"

As a leading figure in the industry, she has not taken on any apprentices for many years.

Many noble families wanted to spend a lot of money to put their children under her name, but most of them ended up disappointed.

So when Jing Tailan was rejected, her first reaction was bewilderment.

I never knew I could be rejected. I never knew what it felt like to be rejected.

Having been at the top for so long, with everything going smoothly, she almost forgot how many scornful looks and sarcasm she had endured when she first started her business from scratch.

Fortunately, after this experience with Jiang Momo, she began to reflect again, which enabled her to lead Jingchuang to greater success.

Therefore, from a certain perspective, Jiang Momo also gave her some inspiration.

This made her even more curious about the reason.

Jiang Momo's fingers unconsciously curled up, gripping the strap of her purse.

She really didn't know how to say it.

Should I tell Jing Tailan that I refused her because I didn't want to use connections?

However, her entry into Jingchuang this time was also thanks to Li Yunqi's matchmaking.

If the truth were revealed, the situation would likely become very ugly.

Therefore, after much deliberation, Jiang Momo finally said, "There was a bit of a family crisis at the time, and I might not be able to focus on my studies properly. I was afraid of letting Mr. Jing down, so I declined your offer."

The reason is reasonable enough.

Jing Tailan nodded, which meant she accepted his explanation.

They soon arrived at the address Jiang Momo had given them.

Not far from the Jiang family villa, she really didn't want Jing Tailan to know, so she prepared to get off the car early and walk there herself.

Jiang Momo had already gotten off the bus at Wanxie, but after walking less than three meters, she heard Jing Tailan's voice again.

The other person's words seemed to travel across time, coming from her university days four years ago.

"It's not too late now. We'll have plenty of time to meet again and spend together."

Jiang Momo understood the unspoken meaning in the other person's words, her eyebrows twitched slightly, and a tear flashed in her eyes.

Indeed, it's not too late. She must seize this opportunity, as she has finally gotten another chance.

Whether it's for Grandma's medical expenses or for my own sake.

Jiang Momo turned her head, bowed to Jing Tailan, then looked up with a bright smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Jing. I don't think I will let you down."
