48 Everyone’s Heart Is Biased
As soon as Lin Qingqian returned to the apartment and entered, Lin Chaoyan came up and asked, “What did the Old Madam say?”
Lin Qingqian looked at her and shook her head gently.
Disappointment immediately appeared on Lin Chaoyan’s face. “It can’t be helped. The human heart is biased. How can the old lady not be biased towards her grandson?”
“Auntie.” Lin Qingqian held her arm. “Grandma has her own thoughts.”
How could Lin Chaoyan not hear the protectiveness in her words towards the old lady? She sighed helplessly. “I’m just worried about you. If you can’t get a divorce…”
Thinking of those people from the Jiang Family, she could not help but sigh.
Lin Qingqian helped her sit down at the dining table and opened the bowls on the plates one by one. “Auntie, don’t worry. I know what to do.”
Lin Chaoyan knew that she had an idea, so she didn’t say anything else. “Let’s eat. I made your favorite stir-fried meat.”

Since Old Madam Jiang was back, this also meant that the wedding date was getting closer and closer. Even the biggest gossip in the industry recently was that Jiang Yanshen was getting married to the country bumpkin who had chased after him for four years.
Yan Sui sent a WeChat message to comfort her. Jiang Yanshen did not make things difficult for her when she helped Lin Qingqian get a fake identity card previously.
No matter what was said online or what the people in the industry said, Lin Qingqian’s heart was very calm. She did not refute or plan to escape.
Firstly, Jiang Yanshen had recently arranged twice as many bodyguards near the apartment, so there was no chance. Secondly, even if she ran to the ends of the world, with Jiang Yanshen’s ability, it wouldn’t take him more than two years to find her.
It was a fool’s dream to hope to live separately for two years, leaving only the last path to take. But this path…
When Lin Qingqian thought of Grandma, she could not help but feel guilty and unable to bear it.
After what happened last time, no matter how much Madam Jiang did not want Jiang Yanshen to hold the wedding, she could only go along with him. Li Ruzhu, on the other hand, was angry and threw a tantrum for a few days.
Madam Jiang persuaded her for a few days and asked her to endure it. If she waited a while, they could still get a divorce after getting married, if not, when the Old Madam left Lan City, she would definitely think of a way to let her be with Yanshen.
Li Ruzhu had heard these words for many years and was tired of it. However, she had no choice but to rely on Madam Jiang’s arrangements in the Jiang family, so she could only endure this resentment for the time being.

At night, a crescent moon hung high in the sky. The bright moonlight quietly enveloped the mortal world, and the lights at night shone silently.
Old Madam Jiang had eaten dinner early and rested. After waking up from a nap, she felt thirsty and got up to pour some water to drink.
The kettle was empty, and the servant had probably missed it. She picked up her cup and walked out of the room. Before she could take two steps, she heard a very low voice coming from the bend in the corridor—
“Didn’t I give you 300,000 previously? Why do you want another 300,000?”
“That 300,000 yuan was to prevent me from calling the Old Madam and spilling everything. This time, when the Old Madam came back and personally asked me to go over for questioning, I answered according to your wishes.”
The old lady immediately recognized that it was Madam Zhang’s voice and her body froze.
“Moreover, my daughter is about to give birth and wants to live in a better confinement center…” Madam Zhang’s voice sounded again with a hint of flattery. “Madam, look…”
“Alright, alright, this is the last time.” Madam Jiang said impatiently, “Follow me…”
“Heh, thank you, Madam!” Madam Zhang immediately smiled and said as she walked, “Madam, don’t worry. I won’t say anything to the Old Madam in the future…”
The old lady stood rooted to the ground in a daze. As she heard their voices getting further and further away, she felt her entire body turn extremely cold. She staggered a few steps and fell to the ground…
