After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 644 - 642: Everything is leaning towards that woman!
Chapter 644: Chapter 642: Everything is leaning towards that woman!
"Mistress and Little Four?" Keren’s smile on her face became even more sinister.
"Not only a mistress, Little Four, but there’s also a Little Seven and Little Eight..."
Xiao Jinglan felt a chill from Keren’s expression but still tried to comfort her, saying, "Men, they all have roving eyes. As long as you’re the legitimate wife at home, nobody can get a hold on you."
Now, when Keren heard Xiao Jinglan’s words, she couldn’t help but laugh.
She slowly walked down the stairs, coming to stand face-to-face with Xiao Jinglan.
Only then did Xiao Jinglan notice Keren’s skin was in terrible condition; her complexion was sallow, her figure had become alarmingly thin, her whole body was dried up and withered.
She could hardly believe her own eyes.
Keren had always loved beauty before she got married.
Whether it was her attire or makeup, it was always impeccable.
A condition like this was the first time Xiao Jinglan had seen it.
Xiao Jinglan’s mouth opened and closed, her gaze circled Keren’s body, then she asked with confusion, "What happened to you when you went abroad with Justin? How did you end up looking like neither human nor ghost?"
Keren’s current state was completely different from how she was before marrying Justin, like heaven and earth.
Xiao Jinglan couldn’t help but let her mind wander.
Although Keren was just a girl, she was Xiao Jinglan’s own flesh and blood; she couldn’t be indifferent.
Especially now that she had appeared before her, Xiao Jinglan just couldn’t ignore her any longer.
Keren, as though she didn’t see the way Xiao Jinglan looked at her, walked over to the living room sofa on her own.
"Keren, talk to me, what on earth happened?" Xiao Jinglan closed the distance in a few strides, seizing Keren’s arm, only to realize that her wrist was almost all bone.
She lifted Keren’s sleeve in astonishment and saw her bony, emaciated arm.
"That scumbag Justin! Did he abuse you?" Xiao Jinglan bit her teeth in anger, the words almost hissing through her molars.
She had thought that Keren would have a good life after marrying Justin.
Never did she expect it to turn out worse than when she was in the country.
How much had Keren suffered to have ended up like this?
Xiao Jinglan simply couldn’t imagine.
Seeing the look on Xiao Jinglan’s face, as if she was truly distressed for her, Keren couldn’t suppress the mocking laughter in her heart.
If she really cared about her, she would have noticed not long after she moved abroad with Justin.
But now that she had already returned, Xiao Jinglan had to wait until Keren stood right in front of her to notice something was wrong. Could this even be called love?
Keren withdrew her hand that Xiao Jinglan was gripping tightly and then looked at her with a smile that was more like a taunt, saying, "Didn’t I just tell you? That man married seven or eight wives outside, and I am just one of them."
"Why could he marry seven or eight wives?" Xiao Jinglan felt increasingly frustrated the more she heard.
Even in M country they practiced monogamy.
Seeing clearly her confusion, Keren finally spoke word by word, "Instead of asking me, you might as well ask him."
Xiao Jinglan fell silent for a moment, "Is there some misunderstanding between you and Justin? If there is a misunderstanding between the two of you, it’s good to just talk it out. As a woman, you don’t need to be too stubborn, after all, he’s your husband. Sometimes, it’s necessary to turn a blind eye."
"S..."
Song Keren was slightly stunned but soon snapped back to reality.
What had she been expecting anyway? fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Did she hope that Xiao Jinglan would stand up for her?
She had always known that she was not as important to Xiao Jinglan as Xiao Mo, but now that she had faced such humiliation outside, Xiao Jinglan’s first reaction was not to care about her but to ask if there was a misunderstanding with Justin?
What could she possibly expect from such a mother?
Song Keren had thought marrying Justin was a good choice, but she hadn’t expected that after he went abroad, he would marry so many other women.
Song Keren had considered asking Xiao Jinglan for help, but now it seemed her mother only had eyes for her son, Xiao Mo. What did that make her, the daughter?
She guessed that Xiao Jinglan feared she would cause trouble with Justin, worrying that it might affect Xiao Mo’s collaboration with him.
Thinking of what someone had said to her before, the corners of Song Keren’s mouth involuntarily curled up, and her gaze towards Xiao Jinglan softened considerably.
"Whether it’s a misunderstanding or not is not important, the fact that he has married so many women is already a fact," Song Keren took another look at Xiao Jinglan before continuing, "Rest assured, I won’t make a fuss about this with him, nor will I allow this matter to interfere with Xiao Mo’s collaboration with Justin."
Hearing this, Xiao Jinglan visibly relaxed, "Keren, you have finally grown up. You can handle such things yourself now without mother worrying."
Heh...
Song Keren sneered inwardly. Sure enough, no matter how much she suffered, it didn’t matter in Xiao Jinglan’s eyes.
As long as it didn’t affect her precious son, whatever she encountered was inconsequential.
Song Keren’s gaze towards Xiao Jinglan grew colder, "Yes, I can make decisions about many things myself now, I have to grow up eventually."
Xiao Jinglan didn’t detect the sarcasm in Song Keren’s tone; instead, she began to complain, "You have no idea how frustrated I’ve been here since you left! Your brother, now that Xia Wenjin, that wretched woman is gone, found another wretched woman from the Feng family, and he even argued with me over her last time!"
She was filled with rage at the mention of Hao Jiayi.
That little mistress was even more troublesome than Xia Wenjin.
Although Xia Wenjin was annoying, she didn’t like Xiao Mo, so he wouldn’t defy his mother for her, but Hao Jiayi was different.
With her act of an innocent flower in front of Xiao Mo, he was utterly enchanted.
Not only did he confront her for that woman, but he also sided with her in every issue!
Xiao Jinglan gritted her teeth as she told Song Keren about it.
But then she heard Song Keren say in a low voice, "Big brother likes that woman, he must have his reasons. Mom, you are getting older now, and there are some things you should not meddle in, otherwise, you will only anger brother."
At these words, Xiao Jinglan was beside herself.
Frowning tightly, she looked at Song Keren very angrily, "I’m his mother! Could I harm him? That Hao Jiayi is clearly no good, and he might even end up being sold out by her and counting the money for her!"
Song Keren shrugged, "But if brother likes her, your trying to stop it will only annoy him even more."
Xiao Jinglan opened her mouth to retort, but then she thought about it and realized that it did indeed seem to be the case.
Whether it was last time or the time before, whenever she faced off against that woman, Hao Jiayi, she always ended up losing.
Even when she told Xiao Mo that her days were numbered, that brat never said he would stand by her side...
