Chapter 38: The Struggle of Being a Stepmother? This Woman i

Luo Ningxi slowly lowered her head, smoothing the pleats of her skirt. "This dress cost me a full twenty thousand! It's so beautiful, it has to be shown off to the world."As soon as the words left her...Lu Ningxi gritted her teeth, anger swirling in her chest.

This isn't gratitude at all, it's deliberately embarrassing her by knowing Li Bochen isn't coming!

Besides, even if Li Bochen really came, she wouldn't dance the opening dance with him.

Today there are quite a few playful rich girls and young masters at the scene. If someone recognizes Li Bochen's identity, her whole marriage will be exposed as a sham!

Lu Ningxi forced out a smile, each word seeming to pop out of her throat, "I'm sorry everyone, my husband isn't feeling well and can't come last minute..."

"Feeling unwell" Jiang Jingya pretended to be concerned as she stepped forward, about to grab her arm. "Where are you feeling uncomfortable Have you seen a doctor Why don't I accompany you to see your son-in-law"

"Get out of here! You don't need to pretend to be nice!" Jiang Jingya's hypocrisy was just like Luo Zhiqin's. Luo Ningxi, hearing her call him "son-in-law," angrily swatted her hand away.

Jiang Jingya seemed to have suffered some immense injustice, tears welling up instantly. "Ning Xi, Auntie only wanted to care about you and your husband...Fine, everyone says being a stepmother is difficult, so I understand if you reject me."

As she spoke, two tears rolled down her cheeks, causing the other noblewomen in the banquet hall to murmur, “We’d heard that Miss Luo, the second daughter of the Luo family, had a fiery temper. It seems true. Listen to how she speaks to her own elder, Mrs. Luo! How can she be so disrespectful”

"That's right! Mr. Luo only married Jiang Jingya after his wife died... Doesn't she want her father to be lonely for the rest of his life"

"I also heard that Luo Yi and Jiang Jingya were originally a couple. It was Luo Ningxi's biological mother, who used her wealth and influence to force them to break up and marry her..."

"All of you, stop talking," Jiang Jingya feigned wiping away tears. "It's my fault for disappointing Ningxi's mother, and it's also my fault for marrying Luo Yi. It's only right that the child holds a grudge against me…"

Luo Ningxi was once again shaken to her core by Jiang Jingya's vicious words. This shameless old woman actually dared to bring up her mother!

Her mother treated Jiang Jingya as her best friend, but she took advantage of her mother's trust to get Luo Yi to play the role she wanted. She schemed to flatter her mother and make her believe that she had found true love, only to end up walking into a den of wolves!

Later, she tragically miscarried and died of grief after catching them in the act.

And she, Jiang Jingya, this shameless woman, after her mother's death, not only did not regret or grieve, but instead transformed into Mrs. Luo, enjoying everything that her mother left behind!

Lu Ningxi's eyes were bloodshot, her voice ringing with each word, "You keep saying sorry to my mother, but why did you bring Luo Zhiqin to my door less than a month after she died Why wear her clothes and sleep in her bed And why has everything good always belonged to Luo Zhiqin from childhood to now, while I'm left with only the scraps she discarded Is this what you call caring for me"

Jiang Jingya's face changed, and she instinctively wanted to retort, but Luo Ningxi didn't give her a chance.

Before Jiang Jingya could speak, Luo Ningxi continued, "When I was in university, I wanted to sign up for a training program that cost 150,000 yuan. You said our family was short on money and couldn't afford it, so I believed you and never mentioned it again. But what did you do You turned around and bought Luo Zhiqin jewelry worth one million! Is it more important for Luo Zhiqin to have a set of jewelry than for me to learn and strive for the Luo family"

Her voice, choked with rage, fell silent. The mood in the room shifted again.

There were many original wives present, and naturally, they most hated the mistress...

The thought of her own husband being seduced by other women and bringing them home to mistreat their children filled her with anger, "So Jiang Jingya isn't a stepmother who is struggling, she's simply heartless!"

"Jiang Jingya often told us before that her husband's ex-wife's daughter was disobedient and uncooperative. Thinking about it carefully, wasn't the Second Miss's bad reputation spread by her"

"It's not just her, Luo Zhiqin too... Think about it, when her brother-in-law was unwell, she didn't even know and still asked people to dance This shows that their relationship is very distant! It's not at all the deep sisterly love she claims!"

……

Jiang Jingya never expected Luo Ningxi to expose her family secrets at the banquet!

Although she had always been headstrong, she knew her limits. Now that she's married to that nobody, has she gotten bolder This isn't just slapping her face, it's also slapping Luo Yi's face!

Jiang Jingya's face flushed crimson, like a pig liver, and Luo Yi was also burning with anger!

Luo Yi suppressed his anger and strode towards Luo Ningxi, "Ningxi, your husband isn't feeling well, hurry to the hospital to accompany him, don't talk nonsense here! I'm sorry, Ningxi is in a bad mood, everyone just treat it as a joke..."randpa would find out she was the one who hurt her. But this is our child! How can you be so cold-blooded I'm going to call Grandpa, right now!"Jian Ning yi mustered her last bit of strength, frantica...
