I became the Counterpart of the Winner in a Period Novel

Chapter 415 - 354: Roadblock

"Military coats are good, but they make doing things inconvenient. I was thinking of getting another one for my mom, so she can switch between them."

Ms. Ren laughed, "I understand what you’re saying. I have a brand new one here. I originally made it for my mother-in-law, but if you need it urgently, I’ll give it to you. I can always make another one for her later."

Jiang Mingyue didn’t refuse, "Since you’re offering, I won’t stand on ceremony. How much do you think it’s worth?"

Ms. Ren didn’t refuse either and asked for the cost price, but Jiang Mingyue gave her two extra yuan.

She looked at it and realized she got a good deal. The cotton-filled coat made by Ms. Ren was very thick and finely crafted. Originally, she planned to reimburse Ms. Ren for the cotton and cloth coupons, but Ms. Ren refused. Jiang Mingyue thought about returning the favor with a real gift later.

With everything prepared, Brother Xie was still nowhere to be found, so Jiang Mingyue had to go to the food factory to look for him.

"Stop."

Jiang Mingyue was lost in thought when a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the bike handle.

Jiang Mingyue looked at the person in confusion but froze in the next second.

Xu Ya?

No wonder she didn’t recognize the voice; it was muffled by a covered mouth and nose, not to mention the voice was deliberately lowered, as if afraid of being overheard.

She better be afraid; Jiang Mingyue hasn’t forgotten that this person was reported for having an affair and had to flee Nanxi City in a hurry. But now she’s back, probably because she’s in trouble and has no choice but to come to Nanxi City.

Recalling Jiang Cheng’s revenge against Xu Ya at Yun Dian last time, Jiang Mingyue had a reasonable suspicion that Jiang Cheng’s revenge was ongoing.

"Jiang Mingyue, what kind of look is that? I’m your mother. Come on, take me to your place. I raised you, and now it’s your turn to repay me."

"Aunt Xu, I can repay you, but not now, unless you want me to report you."

"You... dare?"

Xu Ya’s eyes flared with anger, ready to erupt like a volcano. If it weren’t for people already looking their way, she would’ve slapped this daughter twice.

"Ms. Xu, you’re disrupting the unity of the people and have ideological problems! People who make mistakes should be punished; otherwise, if everyone acted like you, wouldn’t society be in chaos?"

Xu Ya suddenly felt that the daughter she raised for eighteen years was so unfamiliar, as if she never really knew her.

She had hoped to use her identity to force her to help avoid disaster, but it wasn’t going as smoothly as she’d imagined.

But she wouldn’t give up. Only this daughter in front of her could save her. Jiang Cheng, that little beast, was going out of control, and no one could restrain him. If he continued to pursue her relentlessly, she’d fall into his hands sooner or later, but why should she? That wretched woman’s son turned out to be a mouse that learned to dig holes.

Xu Ya took a deep breath and tried a different approach.

"Ming Yue, please save your mom. Only you can save me now. Take me to your dad; only he can persuade Jiang Cheng. I raised you, and you should repay me a little."

"Oh? In that case, I can’t help you. You’re better off going directly."

Xu Ya blocking the road to intercept her clearly meant she had a cold reception from Jiang Kangsheng.

Xu Ya’s eyes no longer hid her disappointment and disgust, revealing a vicious glare, "Jiang Mingyue, you’d better listen to me. Otherwise, I’ll make a scene at your workplace and your big cousin’s department store. You should think it through. Once I cause a stir, his job will be gone. You know how many people are eyeing his position, just waiting for him to leave so they can take it."

Jiang Mingyue remained unmoved, "If you’re unyielding, go ahead and make a scene."

Go ahead!
