Chapter 332: Humiliating Aunt Mo at the Parent-Teacher Conference (1)

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

In the living room of the Jian Residence.

Jian Shuxing, Jian Yuncheng, and Jian Yunnao looked at each other with the same thought in their minds. Once again, Wen Nuan had been busy today. Recently, she had been arriving home quite late. Jian Yunnao looked at his father before he asked:

“Lately, my mother has been leaving the house early and coming home late. Furthermore, I feel like the jewelry that she’s been wearing every day seems to be incredibly expensive. On top of that, it seems like she changes it daily as well! Father, is your wallet okay?”

Jian Yunnao asked this in a whisper.

“I didn’t buy those pieces of jewelry for your mother. Your mother had all of that jewelry already,” Jian Shuxing answered. He paused for a moment before he continued: “Many of those pieces are antiques. Your grandma from your mother’s side gave your mother quite a large dowry when she married me. However, your mother never really liked to wear them. And thus, most of them were kept in the safe at home. The others were stored away in the bank. They haven’t been touched in many years. In fact, some of those pieces are so old that you can’t even estimate their price.”

“Antiques? So many of them?”

“There’s more than that. She could wear an entire set of jewelry every day for a month and there’d be spare sets. There’s also a bunch of antique paintings and calligraphy.”

Wen Nuan’s family had many calligraphers and painters. And thus, the family loved to collect things. They owned countless collections. In fact, they had even opened their own museum to display their collection.

Wen Nuan only had two brothers. She didn’t have a single sister. And thus, her parents gave her most of the jewelry as a dowry.

Wen Nuan used to be indifferent about this. She didn’t like to show off.

However, she was now at war with He Yan. And thus, she started taking things out from her dowry. Every single piece of jewelry was worth a lot of money. It was impossible for He Yan to compete with her.

Originally, He Yan had always felt that the rest of the family wanted to steal the Jian family’s assets. Due to this reason, she was suspicious of everyone else. It was as though she was defending herself from wolves.

However, she never knew that Wen Nuan didn’t care one bit about the family’s assets. In fact, Wen Nuan had enough money in her dowry to take care of all her children for a lifetime.

As the three of them talked, Wen Nuan came through the door.

“There’s a parent-teacher conference at Shenghua High School tomorrow. You three will all be going.” Wen Nuan told the rest of them.

“Mother, why do you want the whole family to go?” Jian Yunnao asked in a small voice.

Right now in their family, Jian Yunnao had the least say. And thus, he had to ask questions in a whisper. Furthermore, whether or not he received an answer depended entirely on the mood of the rest of them.

“I’ll go with you to your class. Shuxing and Yuncheng will go to Yiling’s one.”

Then, Wen Nuan turned around to speak specifically to Jian Shuxing and Jian Yuncheng. “You two better be on your best behavior tomorrow. I had to convince Grandma Jian for ages in the afternoon. She finally agreed to let me go to the parent-teacher conference in her place!”

Previously, Grandma Jian had planned to go to Jian Yiling’s parent-teacher conference herself.

However, Wen Nuan had gone to the Old Jian Residence and spent quite a long time trying to persuade Grandma Jian. In the end, Grandma Jian relented and gave the spot to Wen Nuan.

Jian Shuxing knew that his wife wanted to go to Jian Yiling’s parent-teacher conference more. And thus, he said: “If you want to go to Yiling’s parent-teacher conference, you can come as well. Just tell Yuncheng to go to Yunnao’s one.”

Wen Nuan indeed wanted to go to Jian Yiling’s parent-teacher conference. However, she had other things to do as well: “Nah, let Yuncheng go to Yiling’s one. He has a decent face. It will be good for him to go there to support Yiling. Let the boys in Yiling’s class know that her brother is fierce. If they know that, they won’t bully her.”

“Mother, you don’t have to go to my parent-teacher conference. I didn’t attend the class for the first half of the semester. The teacher will have nothing much to say about me. You can go to Yiling’s parent-teacher conference instead.”

Jian Yunnao didn’t really care about his parent-teacher conference.

“I’m not there for your parent-teacher conference. I have other things to settle,” Wen Nuan said. She didn’t specify what exactly it was. However, the three of them could quickly think of the reason.

Mo Huiqin as Mo Shiyun’s mother would definitely be at the parent-teacher conference tomorrow.

Jian Yunnao was in his final year of high school. He had been classmates with Mo Shiyun for three whole years.

In the previous two years, the school had numerous parent-teacher conferences. The Jian family had never mentioned to anyone that Mo Huiqin was their family’s maid when they met at the parent-teacher conference.

However, this time, Wen Nuan didn’t plan to be so kind.
