Chapter 169 Two Slaps Are Just the Interest

• Her stepmother had despised her since she was little because they shared the same birthday. In the first few years after her stepmother, Xiao Meiqin, married her dad, he’d bring her home on her stepmom’s birthday so they could celebrate together. Her mom would come too. From then on, Xiao Meiqin held a grudge against mother and daughter, making life hard for them every chance she got.
• She egged her dad on until he stopped giving them money for living expenses.
• Even after she stopped going back to the Jiang house for birthdays, her stepmother kept nursing that grudge. When she learned that Pierre Cook had “forced” her and that she’d gotten pregnant before marriage with Pierre’s child, her stepmother pushed her dad to cut off his father-daughter relationship with her, saying Jiang Chuyin had shamed the Jiang family.
