Chapter 51: Give Him a Gift
Meng Tian gazed at the open skylight, the sky gradually darkened, the air in the suburbs so fresh that it made one forget their worries.
As for her feud with Tang Jingyao, it could be traced back to his girlfriend, Jiang Ying.
Tang Jingyao was once recognized within their circle as a good man—wealthy and powerful but not a playboy, clean to the extreme with just one official girlfriend by his side.
Jiang Ying came from an ordinary background, so much so that it could be described as tragic.
Her parents divorced when she was young, and her mother couldn’t afford to send her to college, so she found work in a gallery right after high school graduation. Because of her exceptional artistic talent, the gallery owner took notice and patiently nurtured her.
It was at an art exhibition that Tang Jingyao met Jiang Ying and quickly initiated a fiery pursuit.
After they became a couple, they, too, faced opposition from the Tang Family, but Tang Jingyao somehow managed to persuade his parents, allowing the two to continue their relationship.
Their relationship held up very well, and at one point, they even reached the stage where marriage was under discussion.
But good times don’t last long; Jiang Ying’s mother suffered long-term domestic violence at the hands of her second husband, who, in addition to that, harbored ill intentions towards Jiang Ying and even attempted to assault her.
This incident was discovered in time by Mrs. Jiang, who then decided to move away with her daughter.
