Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Aunt_1

"Dad, I have time. The company has already gotten on the right track, with my mom there and two capable assistants.

Unless something really big happens, I won’t be too busy.

Plus, I’m planning to further my education at Jiangfu University and pursue an MBA.

It wouldn’t hurt to visit the school in advance,"

Jiang Meng said with a smile.

Actually, before she met Xiao Chen’s parents, she was really afraid, afraid of communication problems.

But upon meeting them, she found out just how understanding and affable Xiao Chen’s parents were.

So friendly and kind.

She truly felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off her chest.

"If that’s the case, then go ahead. We can’t waste the children’s kind intentions,"

Mother Xiao said to Father Xiao.

"Alright, that settles it. It’s about time for you to do your filial duties,"

Father Xiao nodded and agreed as well.

After the meal, everyone returned to the Jiang Family’s villa.

The villa was very large, so it was no problem at all for Xiao Chen’s parents to stay there.

With fewer people, it was rather quiet instead.

In the evening, Jiang Meng was pulled aside by Xiao Chen’s parents for a chat, really making it seem like Jiang Meng was their own daughter.

Xiao Chen, on the other hand, seemed like a child from another family.

Xiao Chen smiled and simply sat there playing games.

After a while, Liu Xin suddenly approached Xiao Chen with red eyes.

"Mom, what’s wrong? You can’t scare me like this!"

Xiao Chen quickly quit the game. Since he was playing with friends, they wouldn’t blame him for leaving.

If anything, his leaving would probably make it easier for them to win.

The guy was just that bad at games.

"Xiao Chen, I have an uncomfortable favor to ask, and I need your help,"

Liu Xin said as she wiped away tears: "Just now, my aunt called me.

She has a granddaughter with very good grades. In the past, the family was well off, so she kept going to school.

But now she’s in her senior year of high school, about to take college entrance exams, and her family was hit by a flood.

They went bankrupt.

They are deep in debt, her mother ran away, and her father can’t afford to pay for her education any longer.

My aunt’s getting old and doesn’t have any savings, so she turned to me for help."

"What’s this aunt like?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"Do you know why I call her ’aunt’? It’s because my parents died early, and she was the one who raised me.

Later, because I chose to be with Jiang He, the Liu Family blamed her for leading me astray and drove her out.

Even though we haven’t been in touch for a long time, my aunt was really good to me. She wouldn’t come to me if she wasn’t truly in trouble and probably doesn’t even know I’ve turned my life around."

Liu Xin said: "It’s also my fault for not visiting her lately. I made a mistake."

"This matter is easily settled. Since she’s someone who was kind to you, mom, we’ll definitely help!"

Xiao Chen said: "Tomorrow, I’ll personally make a trip to see the situation.

I’ll also bring the aunt to Linhai so the elder can enjoy some peace and quiet.

Otherwise, this villa is too big and empty."

"I’ll go with you!"

Liu Xin said: "You don’t know the aunt, and it could lead to misunderstandings."

"Alright, then tomorrow Jiang Meng can keep my parents company and enjoy Linhai, while I go with you to pick her up."

Xiao Chen nodded, and it was decided.

About sixty kilometers from Linhai, in a small town,

there was a Duck King named Xia Gang.

Although his father passed away early, his mother Liu Mei was formerly from a prominent family in Linhai.

With certain savings,

she invested in Xia Gang’s duck farming business.

The business had actually been doing well, and Xia Gang had been very promising.

But natural disasters are unpredictable—a severe flood had turned the once-wealthy family into one that was struggling to get by

and had racked up a lot of debt.

A whole ten million yuan.

Xia Gang was now very worried, as he hadn’t been able to pay the workers at the duck farm for a month.

He hadn’t repaid the loans,

and even relatives who had invested were banging on his door asking for their money back.

Logically, when an investment fails, everyone should bear the loss together.

But those relatives didn’t acknowledge this.

"Do you feel no remorse? When you were making a lot of money, you called it an investment, now that you’ve lost money, it’s suddenly called a loan?

Being relatives to this extent, truly disgusting!"

Liu Mei couldn’t stand it, watching her son with a constantly furrowed and troubled brow.

Her granddaughter had such good grades, yet there was no money for her to attend university.

Even if she were accepted, she was expected to drop out.

It was really distressing.

Yesterday, she called Liu Xin, whom she had raised from a child, but she also knew that Liu Xin was not having an easy time.

Really unable to offer any help.

The current predicament still had to be faced alone.

"Mother Xia Gang, you can’t say that, we’re struggling ourselves.

We’re not asking for much, just at least return our principal to us."

Xia Gang’s uncle said.

"Exactly, exactly, we’re not asking for dividends anymore, just give us our principal back!"

Xia Gang’s aunt also said.

Only Xia Gang’s second uncle was squatting there, silent.

He felt embarrassed.

Though his family had also been affected by the disaster,

Xia Gang had truly been good to them through the years.

He didn’t have the face to join in kicking someone when they were down.

Xia Muxue stood there timidly; due to the flood, school had been temporarily suspended.

She had lost the motivation to revise.

Her future fate was really uncertain.

All she could do was to comfort her father.

"Beep beep!"

Just then, the sound of a car horn rang out.

A Maybach S-Class drove into the town,

attracting everyone’s attention.

"What a beautiful car, does anyone know the brand?"

Someone asked.

"Never seen it before, definitely not a Mercedes or BMW, must be some off-brand!"

Another person said.

"That’s a Maybach, an S-Class, worth more than three million,"

Xia Gang stood up, glanced at it, and said.

He had seen much of the world and naturally recognized the car.

The car stopped by the roadside.

Everyone was stunned.

"Is this a wealthy person from somewhere else who has come?"

Everyone turned to look at the opening car door.

A man alighted from the car, handsome and well-dressed.

But his identity was not immediately apparent.

However, the woman who got out after him truly shone with a jeweled brilliance.

Her demeanor was one of unmatched nobility.

One look and you knew she was a rich woman.

In fact, Liu Xin was not that dressed up; it was just her natural beauty, plus the jewelry her son-in-law had given her, which would have been awkward not to wear.

With just a few pieces on, she was already dazzling.

"Auntie!"

Liu Xin recognized Liu Mei in an instant.

Although Liu Mei looked much older than before, because she was still leading a somewhat wealthy life, she did not appear decrepit.

But Liu Mei was frozen for a long moment before she recognized Liu Xin.

Upon hearing ’auntie,’ she looked over and scrutinized for quite some time: "Liu Xin! You are Liu Xin!"

"Yes, auntie, as soon as I got your call, I rushed over. How is everything at home?"

Liu Xin went over to support her aunt and asked.

"Is it really you? I heard you weren’t doing well either; I thought you wouldn’t come."

Liu Mei was very surprised.

That car, worth over three million, meant Liu Xin’s situation must not be bad.

It was a stark contrast to what she had imagined.

"Auntie, of course, it’s me. It’s all my fault, I’ve been too busy lately, and I didn’t have the time to visit you, causing you to suffer!"

Liu Xin held onto Liu Mei’s hand, with scenes from her childhood flooding back, filled with emotion.
