a vague idea formed in jiang jin's mind as she listened to her friends' words. she waited until her friends were done before she sighed and said, "that's right. the ning family's affairs really cause people to sigh..."
someone asked curiously, "hmm? do you know something we don't?"
jiang jin nodded. then, she revealed the ning family's private matters. she told them how zhuang yi and ning zhe built the ning group's clothing business together and how ning zhe brought his mistress and her seven-year-old son to the ning family house. she told them zhuang yi refused to share her husband and insisted on a divorce; she wanted to split the family fortune and take her daughter away. she did not hold back and shared with her friends how at that time, in the midst of chaos, zhuang yi lost the son in her womb. in the end, to get custody of her daughter, she even gave up on the fortune she rightly deserved.
everyone listened to jiang jin's story attentively. curiosity, anger, and pity rose in their hearts. some of them even shed tears.
"the former madam of the ning family was really pitiful.. in the end, not only did she lose her husband, but she lost her son as well. this is all the mistress' fault."
"what happened to her daughter after she left with her mother? her life must be tough..."
"in my opinion, the former madam of the ning family shouldn't have let ning zhe and his mistress get away with all that. she should've taken both her daughter and the fortune she deserved."
"that's right! why did she let that pair of bast*rd off the hook? she was too kindhearted."
"if it were me, i would spite them and refuse to divorce. i want to see what a mistress can do in such a situation!"
"well, it seems like the former mrs. ning was someone who placed great importance on love. a woman like her doesn't fall in love easily, but when they do, they fall deeply. her eyesight must be bad to fall for a bast*rd like ning zhe! what a pity!"
someone sighed. "people's morals are really declining with time. it's all the fault of those cheap and shameless women. when they meet rich men, they'll try to cling onto the rich men and tie them down by getting pregnant! it doesn't matter to them if the men are married. they'll pretend like they don't want anything, but once you give in once, they're there the type that once you give an inch, they'd take a mile."
when jiang jin saw how furious her friends were, she continued to say, "did you know after the former mrs. ning left the ning family, her parents died one after another. at that time, her daughter was about to sit for the college entrance exam as well. for all these reasons, she later died of exhaustion..."
"what?"
