The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind

Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Can It Get Her Sent to Jail?

Mrs. Ji’s footsteps halted, and she rapidly turned around, only to see her long-yearned-for daughter, who was now clutching her arm.

She felt as if she were dreaming, her gaze lingering over the familiar yet unrecognizable face.

Her daughter, whom she had raised with painstaking care, had grown much prettier and more striking compared to her tender-faced self at fifteen, when she had insisted on searching for her relatives.

Mrs. Ji’s lips parted slightly, suddenly remembering how, three years ago, Jiang Nanshu had made a huge scene at their home, blaming them for depriving her of nearly sixteen years of wealth and luxury and accusing them of keeping her trapped in the countryside despite their inability to provide for her.

Back then, Jiang Nanshu, relying on her own achievements, had been accepted into the top high school in the city, but just two months in, something happened. When she awoke, she insisted on searching for her relatives and wouldn’t even let her touch her, treating them as if they were most grievous sinners.

But no matter what, she had never blamed her daughter. She was content as long as her child was happy and well.

Mrs. Ji’s gaze fell upon the expensive dress Nanshu wore, which contrasted sharply with her own ten-yuan loose T-shirt.

At least her dear girl had gone on to live a good life.

So when she felt the discerning and peculiar looks from the people around her, Mrs. Ji’s heart was filled with a deep-seated inferiority.

Her initial strong desire to see Jiang Nanshu vanished without a trace.
