Shocking! The seemingly useless ex-wife is actually an all-around queen!

Chapter 210 Retribution Arrives, He Comes Across the Mountain to Seek Revenge!

"It's alright, Shengbao isn't the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for her. This ointment might not do much for me, but it definitely won't ruin my face." Although Zhou Yingzhi knew that the acne cream wouldn't be of much use to her, it was Jiang Ning's kind gesture after all. If she didn't even use it, wouldn't she be letting Jiang Ning down?

So, she definitely has to give it a try.

Mrs. Zhou was still a little uneasy. She picked up the ointment on the table and smelled it carefully. Only when she could no longer smell anything particularly strange did she put the box down.

Mrs. Zhou then asked, "Did Jingmo gain anything from hiking with you today?"

Zhou Yingzhi shook her head. "You know Third Brother's personality; you can't get a word out of him. I originally wanted to set him up with Sheng Bao, but who knew..."

Before Zhou Yingzhi could finish her sentence, Mrs. Zhou interrupted her, "Who? Who did you say? Who are you trying to matchmake Jingmo with?"

"Shengbao," Zhou Yingzhi looked up at Mrs. Zhou, "What's wrong?"

She likes Jiang Ning.

Not only is Jiang Ning beautiful, but she also has inner qualities, which is why Zhou Yingzhi hopes that Zhuang Jingmo can get together with Jiang Ning.

"Nonsense! Absolutely nonsense! Shi Sheng? She's divorced!" Mrs. Zhou said speechlessly, "How could someone of Jing Mo's noble status marry a divorced woman?"

Although divorce is no longer considered shameful.

But divorced women can never compare to unmarried young women.

Unless he's the kind of man who can't find a wife, who would marry a divorced woman?

Not to mention a business tycoon like Zhuang Jingmo!

In Mrs. Zhou's opinion, this was simply a fantasy.

Aside from being the eldest daughter of the Shi family, how is Jiang Ning worthy of Zhuang Jingmo?

Zhou Yingzhi was speechless. "Mom, what era are we living in? So what if someone is divorced? Being divorced just means having an extra piece of paper compared to being unmarried. Shengbao and her ex-husband didn't have any children, so why are you so concerned about this?"

We live in an open society now.

So many men and women live together before marriage, doing all sorts of things they should and shouldn't do before marriage, and then break up with each other a few days later and find someone else. What's the difference between this behavior and being married?

In Zhou Yingzhi's view, her mother's thinking was too conservative.

"No means no!" Mrs. Zhou said sternly. "Yingzhi, let me tell you, I won't stop you from being close to Shisheng, that's your freedom! But you can't try to match Shisheng and Jingmo up! They're just not compatible."

Someone like Jiang Ning will only be able to marry a widower in the future.

Zhuang Jingmo was not someone she could even dream of.

After saying that, Mrs. Zhou added, "Also, you absolutely must not let your aunt know about this."

If her sister-in-law found out that her daughter had introduced Zhuang Jingmo to a divorced woman, her sister-in-law would definitely cause a huge uproar.

Zhou Yingzhi naturally knew her sister-in-law's temper, "I know, I know, I won't mention it again."

Mrs. Zhou then asked, "Jingmo didn't add Shisheng on WeChat today, did he?"

"No." Zhou Yingzhi shook her head.

Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good!"

Fortunately, the nephew had eyes and wasn't bothered by Zhou Yingzhi.

Zhou Yingzhi looked at Mrs. Zhou, "Mom, what if Auntie falls in love with Shengbao after meeting her?"

"Impossible! Your aunt is the kind of person who can't tolerate any nonsense. How could she possibly accept a divorced daughter-in-law?" Even a fool would know it's impossible.

Let alone the sister-in-law's inability to accept it, if it were her, she wouldn't be able to accept a divorced daughter-in-law either.

Zhou Yingzhi scratched her hair and didn't say anything more. Her aunt was indeed not an easy person to get along with.

The mother and daughter continued chatting.

Zhou Yingzhi told Mrs. Zhou about the mountain peak incident and also about the bet between Jiang Ning and Xu Ruoying.

Mrs. Zhou narrowed her eyes. "I also think Shi Sheng is exaggerating a bit. No matter how powerful a snake is, it's just an animal. How could it have the ability to remember a scent and track you home?"

"Anyway, that's what Shengbao said. We'll see in three days whether it works or not."

The next morning.

Because of the pimples on her face, the first thing Zhou Yingzhi did after waking up was to look in the mirror.

This photo.

She was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.

On weekdays, when she wakes up in the morning, the pimples on her face are red and swollen, which looks quite frightening.

But this morning.

The pimples are no longer red or swollen; they look like they've mostly healed.

Zhou Yingzhi had used many ointments, but none of them had ever brought her such a miraculous effect.

This is the first time.

No one knew how excited Zhou Yingzhi was.

She thought the ointment Jiang Ning gave her would be useless, but she never expected it to have such a pleasant surprise.

Zhou Yingzhi immediately made a WeChat video call to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning answered quickly, "Hello, Yingzhi."

Zhou Yingzhi said happily, "Shengbao, your ointment is so effective! I applied it last night, and this morning most of the pimples on my face were gone."

Jiang Ning continued, "Yingzhi, remember to apply it three times a day for about a week. Try not to wear makeup during this week. After a week, all the pimples on your face will disappear."

"Really, Shengbao? Thank you. I'll treat you to hot pot once my acne clears up."

"Ok."

Xu family.

Xu Ruoying safely passed the first night and didn't take the rumors about the mountain peak to heart. If the mountain peak was really that powerful, it should have caught up with her a long time ago, instead of waiting until now.

at the same time.

The Xu family's back garden.

It looked as if some giant creature had glided past in the dense flowerbed. Its scales reflected a faint light in the sunlight. It crawled very fast, and it was almost impossible to catch a glimpse with the naked eye if you weren't paying attention.

The gardener in charge of pruning seemed to have noticed something was wrong. He frowned and looked at his colleague, "Old Xu, don't you think there's something off about our back garden?"

He didn't know why, but this afternoon, as soon as he arrived in the back garden, he felt uneasy.

As he laid the lawn, Old Xu said, "What's wrong? Old Wu, I think you're just scaring yourself for no reason. Let's hurry up and finish this so we can go home as soon as possible."

Hearing what Lao Xu said, Lao Wu didn't think much of it.

Xu Ruoying put on a beautiful makeup and then left with her bag.

Xu Ruoying went to a high-end restaurant for afternoon tea.

Coincidentally.

Jiang Ning and Madam Shi were also dining in the restaurant.

Xu Ruoying put down her bag, walked arrogantly to Jiang Ning's side, and said with a smile, "Madam Shi, Miss Shi, what a coincidence! I didn't expect you two to be dining here."

“Miss Xu.” Jiang Ning turned her head slightly.

Xu Ruoying curled the corners of her lips, "Miss Shi must be very disappointed to see that I am safe and sound and have not been caught by Guo Shanfeng, right?"

"Only one day has passed," Jiang Ning said calmly.

Xu Ruoying nodded, her smile widening. "Yes, there are only two days left. In just two more days, we'll be able to enjoy Miss Shi's exquisite dance. I'm so excited!"

She'll definitely sneak a phone and record it, spreading the embarrassing moment of Jiang Ning throughout the entire industry.

"I'm also looking forward to seeing Ms. Xu donate to impoverished areas," Jiang Ning said, deftly deflecting the question.

Xu Ruoying snorted coldly, "Then let's see who has the last laugh!"

After Xu Ruoying left, Madam Shi immediately asked Jiang Ning what had happened.

Jiang Ning told Old Madam Shi about what had happened yesterday.

Upon hearing this, Madam Shi frowned slightly. "I'll go find Xu Weifeng right away! Is this how he raises his daughter!"

“No need,” Jiang Ning pressed down on Madam Shi’s hand. “Grandma, Xu Ruoying will soon reap what she sows.”

Madam Shi looked at Jiang Ning and asked with some doubt, "Shengbao, is that mountain peak really that powerful?"

Jiang Ning took a bite of dessert. "Actually, Guo Shanfeng isn't that angry, but the problem is that Xu Ruoying ignored my advice and took Guo Shanfeng's egg. So, Guo Shanfeng will definitely chase after the Xu family to take revenge."

Madam Shi nodded.

Since she had already safely passed through the night, Xu Ruoying didn't take the matter to heart at all tonight and went to sleep after applying a face mask.

At 2:30 a.m., Xu Ruoying was suddenly awakened by a chill.

It was a very strange feeling.

It was as if something smooth and cold had crawled down her trouser leg and into her body.

Xu Ruoying opened her eyes groggily and saw a terrifying snake head sticking out from the collar of her pajamas, hissing and flicking its tongue.

Xu Ruoying was instantly startled awake and screamed.

"what!"
