Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Mother is a God-Level Boss

Chapter 174 My Mom Transformed into a Real Rich Man After Her Divorce in the 9s (Part 13)

"Boss, this is bad news. Many businesses in Taipei are refusing to buy our goods."

On the first day of the new year, Zeng brought this bad news.

"It's okay, don't rush. What we need is to expand the market. This is not the time to sell goods anyway."

Si Yan spoke up to comfort her upon hearing this.

"But boss, those people all say..."

Xiao Zeng hesitated, unsure how to begin after recalling what those people had said.

"What's wrong? Nothing. Just say what's on your mind, don't worry about me."

Si Yan said with a light laugh.

"Boss, they say you've offended someone."

Zeng glanced at Si Yan cautiously.

"What's the big deal? Everyone in business offends someone. It's fine. Just focus on your work and don't worry about anything else."

Si Yan probably knows who is targeting her, it seems she's been too kind to them.

Si Yan frowned slightly, her eyes filled with thoughts.

Meanwhile, Si Yan was also bringing up the matter at that moment.

"Mom, I heard that Si Yan's business is having some problems. Is it your doing?"

Jiang Manxiang felt refreshed as she recalled the news she had heard.

"Wow, you're really well-informed."

Si Yan looked surprised. Had she made it so obvious?

"No way, I just remembered that you mentioned it before, so I was suspicious when I saw it."

Jiang Manxiang responded with a slight smile.

"That's good. What you said earlier startled me. If it had been that obvious, your grandfather would probably have had a talk with me."

Si Yan's words were full of wishful thinking, but she didn't know that Si Yan was not one to suffer injustice.

Si Yan stayed up all night compiling a list of dirt on Si Yan and her mother, including the fact that they seemed to have known about their origins in advance.

When this information was presented to Si Shichang, he realized how terribly wrong he had been.

"Yan Yan, don't worry, I won't be soft-hearted anymore."

Si Shichang made the promise with a solemn expression, while Jiang Manxiang quickly realized something was wrong because her card had been cancelled.

"Miss, I'm sorry, your card has been cancelled. Please use a different card to pay."

The waiter in front of Jiang Manxiang spoke with a smile, but to Jiang Manxiang, these words sounded like a shock.

"How could it have been cancelled?"

Jiang Manxiang asked in surprise.

"Madam, I'm sorry, this card is indeed unusable. Please use another card to pay."

Seeing Jiang Manxiang's expression, the waitress had no choice but to repeat herself.

Although I couldn't accept it, I had promised to treat everyone today, so I had no choice but to pay with my own pocket money for now.

Jiang Manxiang then handed over another card, which the waitress took with both hands and started operating the machine.

Soon, the bill came out.

"Hello ma'am, your total bill is 5,800 yuan. Here is the bill, please take a look."

How could there be so much? Jiang Manxiang's face twisted for a moment. Were Deng Lixin and the other woman pigs? How could they eat so much!

Just then, Stephy Tang and her companion, who had just come out of the private room, overheard the waiter announcing the bill.

When they heard that it was more than five thousand, the two women looked slightly uncomfortable, but then they thought that Jiang Manxiang was the granddaughter of the capital city, so this amount of money was probably nothing to her.

Thinking of this, Stephy Tang quickly went to Jiang Manxiang's side.

"Manxiang, only you can be so generous. This is the first time Tingting and I have ever eaten lobster."

Stephy Tang said with an embarrassed smile.

Jiang Manxiang glanced at the bill; there were five lobsters alone. How could they not be stuffed to death?

However, Jiang Manxiang was preoccupied with the fact that the supplementary card given to her by her grandfather could no longer be used, so she had no mood to deal with the others and left in a hurry after leaving a message.

"I'm glad you're all happy. I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."

Watching Jiang Manxiang's retreating figure, Tingting looked uneasy.

"Lixin, haven't we gone too far? Manxiang doesn't seem very happy."

"Hey, what are you afraid of? Our meal isn't even worth as much as one of Manxiang's bags. Do you know how much that bag is worth?"

Stephy Tang approached Tingting and raised an eyebrow as she spoke.

"How many?"

Tingting had no concept of bags, so her eyes were full of curiosity.

"I don't know the exact amount, but I heard it's tens of thousands."

Stephy Tang spoke excitedly, her words filled with envy.

"So many? Looks like we'd better curry favor with Manxiang."

Tingting was also very excited after hearing this, and the two of them planned to try their best to curry favor with Jiang Manxiang in the days to come.

Little did they know that Jiang Manxiang's life of luxury was about to disappear.

Disturbed, Jiang Manxiang didn't even go back to school to ask her teacher for leave before going straight back to the Jiang family home.

"Dad, where is my mother?"

Jiang Manxiang looked flustered, and because she had run so fast, she was slightly out of breath as she leaned on the sofa.

"Manxiang, what's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Jiang Fengyi asked in surprise.

"Something terrible has happened. My grandpa has suspended my credit card."

"What? What's going on?"

Jiang Fengyi frowned as he looked at Jiang Manxiang.

"Oh dear, how should I know? Where's Mom? I have to tell her."

Jiang Manxiang vaguely guessed why, but how could she say it in front of her father? Her father didn't know what she and her mother had done.

"Your mother went out to a party, and judging from the time, she probably won't be back for quite a while."

Jiang Fengyi glanced at the time on his wristwatch. It wasn't even 8 p.m. yet. Usually, Si Yan wouldn't be back until 11 p.m. after going out to parties.

"Well, there's nothing I can do. I can only wait at home. My mom won't be bringing her phone to the party."

Jiang Manxiang complained helplessly. It was all their fault for saying that it was embarrassing to bring a cell phone to a party. Otherwise, it could have been solved with a simple phone call. Now she could only wait at home.

"Dad, please ask Auntie to cook some of my favorite dishes. I ran all the way back and I'm starving."

She originally wanted to take a taxi, but by sheer coincidence, she didn't see a single car along the way. It was then that Jiang Manxiang realized that the villa being too remote wasn't necessarily a good thing.

"Okay, Dad will arrange it for you right away."

When Jiang Fengyi finished making the arrangements and came out, Jiang Manxiang was already lying on the sofa resting and almost asleep.

"Manxiang, don't you have a cell phone? Why don't you call Dad?"

Jiang Fengyi casually poured Jiang Manxiang a glass of lemonade.

"Dad, stop talking. I only realized I forgot my phone halfway there."

Jiang Manxiang took the water glass, took a sip, and looked helpless.

"Why did everything happen all at once today?"

Jiang Manxiang complained as she put a grape in her mouth.

"Manxiang, tell your father the truth, have you two been doing something I don't know about lately?"

Jiang Fengyi frowned slightly as he recalled the news he had heard earlier.

"What could possibly happen? I haven't done it anyway."

Jiang Manxiang pouted. She hadn't had a chance to do anything yet, but she didn't know if her mother had.

Meanwhile, Si Yan, whom Jiang Manxiang was thinking about, was enjoying everyone's compliments.

"Miss Si, it has to be you! You're so kind as to treat me to such an expensive bottle of red wine so readily."

"That's right, a bottle of red wine that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, I wouldn't dare to drink it if it weren't for Miss Si."

Just as the group was getting into their conversation, there was a knock on the door of the private room.

Si Yan's follower, Li Shan, got up and went to open the door.

After opening the door, the waiter went straight to Si Yan.

The waiter approached Si Yan and whispered in her ear.

"Ms. Si, the card you gave me cannot be used. Could you please give me a different one?"

After the waiter finished speaking, he gave Si Yan an awkward smile.

"What? Impossible, I just bought a bag yesterday."

Si Yan frowned upon hearing this, her expression displeased.

"Miss Si, why don't you go and take a look yourself?"

The waiter said cautiously.

"Let's go. If I find out you're wasting my time, I'll have your manager fire you. You can't even pay a bill properly."

After Si Yan finished speaking, she followed the waiter out, saying a few words to everyone before leaving.

"Have a good drink and have fun, everyone. I'll pay the bill later."

Everyone at the dinner table responded in response.

"Alright, Miss Si is very generous."

"Exactly, I think they're all lying. Miss Si is still as generous as ever."

Si Yan smiled, nodded to everyone, and followed the waiter.

"Di..."

"Di..."

"Why is it still not working? Is there something wrong with your machine?"

Si Yan tried several times but failed, and she gradually began to panic.

"Ms. Si, um, would you like to change your card?"

Seeing that Si Yan had tried several times, and remembering that Si Yan was a regular customer, the waitress spoke up to remind her.

After all, who would know that Si Yan, who was spending lavishly outside, was actually relying on Si Shichang's supplementary credit card? Now that Si Shichang has canceled her right to use it, her true colors have been exposed.

"What do you know? You're just telling me to change my card?"

Enraged, Si Yan snapped at the waiter.

The waitress also felt wronged; she hadn't said anything particularly offensive.

"Oh dear, what's wrong? Who made our Miss Si angry?"

At this moment, a man in a suit walked over from the side. He was Li Hai, the lobby manager of the hotel.

Si Yan snorted softly upon hearing this but did not reply.

Seeing Si Yan's reaction, Li Hai knew she must be angry.

To appease Si Yan, Li Hai turned his attention to the waiter.

"Xiao Deng, what's wrong with you? Miss Si is a VIP customer of our hotel, is this the kind of service you provide?"

Li Hai reprimanded him sternly.

"Manager, no, I just wanted to remind Ms. Si that she could use a different card to pay, because the previous one kept failing."

"That's what waiter Xiao Deng said, feeling wronged."

"What am I supposed to say? The customer wants to know which card to use for payment, is it any of your business to give their opinion? Get out of here, I'll handle it."

After Li Hai finished speaking, he turned to look at Si Yan.

"Ms. Si, please give me the card, I'll get it for you."

Li Hai looked at Si Yan with a fawning expression. Si Yan looked impatient but still reached out and handed over the card.

"Di..."

"what."

Li Hai raised an eyebrow in surprise, then tried again, but failed once more. He could only remind Si Yan.

"Ms. Si, it seems that the waiter didn't do it on purpose. There is indeed a problem with your card; it can't be used for payment. Would you like to get a different one?"

Si Yan looked unwell and had no choice but to reach into her bag and take out another card.

"Beep, beep beep..."

As the bill appeared after the payment was successfully deducted, Li Hai handed the card and bill to Si Yan with both hands.

Si Yan took the bottle and saw that the two bottles of red wine alone cost more than 500,000 yuan. Only then did she feel the pain in her heart, as this was her own private savings.

Si Yan took the bill back to the private room, but the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She decided she had to go back and check on things.

She picked up her bag and said goodbye to everyone at the table, saying that there was an emergency at home and she had to go back to take care of it.

After Si Yan left, a woman with French curls suddenly sneered and interrupted everyone's conversation.

"Guess what I just saw outside?"

"What's going on? So mysterious?"

"Yeah, what is it? We were having a great conversation about it."

The curly-haired woman stopped being mysterious and pointed at the spot where Si Yan had sat, letting out a sneer.

"The Miss Si you were just fawning over almost couldn't even pay her bill at the service desk."

"How could that be? I saw the bill in her hand; it's already been paid for, isn't it?"

The man who had been sitting next to Si Yan earlier denied it.

"Ha, if you guys can't do it, then forget it. I think you'd better think twice before trying to curry favor with her in the future."

After the woman finished speaking, she got up and left.

Meanwhile, Si Yan, whom she had just mentioned, had already returned to the Si family home in her driver's car.

Si Yan had just entered the hall when Jiang Manxiang, who had been waiting, spotted her. Jiang Manxiang's eyes lit up and she quickly ran towards Si Yan.

"Mom, Mom, Grandpa has suspended my card."

Jiang Manxiang looked at Si Yan pitifully, but she didn't expect that her mother's expression would become even more unpleasant after hearing this.

"He actually stopped yours too?"

"also?"

Jiang Manxiang asked in surprise.

"Mom, has your card been suspended too?"

Si Yan nodded with a grim expression upon hearing this.

"How can this be? Mom, do you think Grandpa found out something?"

As Jiang Manxiang asked the questions, she looked upstairs, making sure her father didn't know what she was saying.

"I don't know. None of the informants at the old house had tipped me off before."

Si Yan frowned deeply. Things were getting out of control. It seemed that something must have happened at the old house that she didn't know about.

Meanwhile, Si Shichang, who was being thought about by Si Yan and her mother, was talking to Si Yan.

"Yan Yan, take a look at this? This box contains all the things your mother, Mu Qing, left for you."

Si Yan took the box with both hands after hearing this. She felt its weight as soon as she held it. When she opened it, she saw a bright green and translucent jade bracelet.

"Don't let its ordinary appearance fool you; your mother made it by hand."

Si Shichang still looked proud when he mentioned Mu Qing.

"Dad, why did you suddenly decide to give me this today?"

Si Yan held the bracelet and asked softly.

"I suddenly remembered it yesterday. Your mother bought a lot of jewelry before, and I forgot about it for a moment."

"is it?"

Si Yan nodded upon hearing this, but looking at Si Shichang's expression, she didn't think he was alright.
