Father Jiang looked incredulous. How could he have had such a falling out with his wife that they couldn't even see each other one last time?

He wanted to be glued to his wife every single day.

Song Shiwei was forced to accept a red envelope and silently thought to herself, [If I'm not mistaken, this scheming uncle is probably going to say some harsh words to my father-in-law.]

Father Jiang, who had just been threatened, felt a chill run down his spine. Good heavens, Weiwei had really hit the nail on the head.

"Lanjun, I'm so glad you could come see me today. I'm also very happy to see how grown up your children are," Gao Nianjun said with a smile. "Hongzhe is so lucky to have a wife like Lanjun, unlike me, all alone."

Jiang Hongzhe looked at him speechlessly, "I am indeed very happy, but saying I'm all alone is a bit of an exaggeration. We're all adults; who doesn't have a partner?"

Father Jiang's words were quite blunt, almost as if he were sticking the words "You're a green tea b*tch, stop pretending" on Gao Nianjun's forehead.

Gao Nianjun wasn't annoyed and casually changed the subject, "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's eat."

Song Shiwei sat to the side, inwardly thinking, "[Are you afraid that if you keep talking, you'll expose your true colors as a male 'green tea'?]"

[As expected, everyone gets confused when dealing with a "green tea" (a manipulative woman), especially a high-level one like this—it's really hard to handle!]

Father Jiang nodded, expressing his deep agreement, and turned to Mother Jiang with a pitiful look, his puppy-like eyes seeming to be pleading with her.

If Mother Jiang still can't sense Gao Changyi's manipulative nature at this point, then she's truly wasted half her life.

Waiters filed in, placing one delicious dish after another on the table. Gao Nianjun smiled slightly, "Excuse me, everyone, I took the liberty of ordering the dishes today. I hope you don't mind."

He claimed he was asking for their opinions, but he never gave them a chance to speak, instead saying to himself, "Lanjun, I ordered all your favorite dishes. You must eat more later; look how thin you've become."

"Zhuxin, Weiwei, you should eat more too. If there's anything you don't like, remember to tell your uncle, and he'll make you something you like."

Song Shiwei remained silent, but inwardly she was already cursing loudly, [Wow, that's a really high level of subtlety! She subtly implied that her father-in-law hadn't taken good care of her mother-in-law!]

[Wait a minute! Didn't that scheming old man just say something like, "If I die, will my mother-in-law remember me for the rest of her life?!"]

While the dishes were being served, Song Shiwei finally managed to find the gossip about this old green tea uncle in the original novel.

[You're crazy.]

He actually died, but then came back to life!

Song Shiwei gossip for so many days, this latest revelation has truly shocked Song Shiwei.

Melons can be down-to-earth, but they shouldn't be associated with the powerful and influential.

[This scheming uncle and his father-in-law's family are sworn enemies. He pursued his mother-in-law initially to get revenge on his father-in-law, but unexpectedly, she chose his father-in-law instead. Their family fell into ruin and, with their last breaths, moved abroad.]

[Unexpectedly, after arriving abroad, this family started a fraud business, even amassing a fortune through it, becoming some of the wealthiest people in the area. He still harbored hatred for the Jiang Family, so more than twenty years later, he returned to seek revenge.]

He knew the Jiang Family was too difficult to bring down now, so instead of targeting his father-in-law, he precisely targeted his mother-in-law. He invited her to dinner under the guise of a friend, knowing his father-in-law would never let her come alone, and meticulously planned this elaborate scheme.

[The green tea was just his first step; what followed was the main event: dying on the spot in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law!]

Father Jiang Mother Jiang:???

What the hell? He died right in front of them?

They are law-abiding citizens; they don't want to break the law. Should they run away?

Jiang Zhuxin was even prepared to grab her parents and run away as fast as she could Song Shiwei's gossipy voice rang out again. "[This guy is really meticulous. He can't even escape. He's already instructed the waiter to lock the door from the inside. He can only come in when he presses the button. He wants to die in front of his mother-in-law and then have all his ashes sent to her, causing trouble for his parents-in-law every day.]"

[Actually, he didn't die. His illness was even fake; he was just trying to gain his mother-in-law's sympathy. He's going to put on a show of entrusting his child to her later, and his mother-in-law will be completely manipulated.]

[Some people see him as dead, but he miraculously lives on, and thrives just fine. Without uttering a single word, he can turn two once loving couples into bitter enemies.]

Mother Jiang:???

What does "entrusting an orphan" mean? It means taking someone's orphan away from you, entrusting them to whom?

What else is it to be dead, yet miraculously alive?

For a moment, her mind couldn't even process it.

Song Shiwei blinked and continued watching the Gossip Compendium, thinking to herself, "[After causing trouble for his in-laws and sending his own ashes, this guy did something even more outrageous: he secretly brought his father-in-law's scheming sister back to China!]"

[Upon returning to China, the "green tea girl" seized the opportunity presented by the tense relationship between her in-laws. She used every trick in the book to pry open her father-in-law's and mother-in-law's minds, successfully sowing discord. Her mother-in-law even inadvertently discovered the deception, further straining their relationship. Later in the story, their relationship reached a breaking point, and they didn't even get to see each other one last time.]

[The cunning, manipulative man, having successfully retired, later used the money he swindled to support the protagonist's career, ultimately completing his revenge.]

Father Jiang:???

Mother Jiang:???

Younger sister?!

They went to great lengths to finally get Jiang Minru out of the country, and now Jiang Minru's coming back?
