Hearing that Zhan Yichen had begun to pity her, Jiang Siyu knew she had succeeded halfway. The next step was to get a large sum of money from Zhan Yichen, which was her bargaining chip.
She looked at Zhan Yichen with tear-filled eyes, her voice still tinged with disbelief, "Yichen... are you really willing to help me?"
Zhan Yichen nodded, "Since I saved you that day, I naturally can't abandon you. Moreover, my elder brother is no longer pursuing past matters. With his magnanimity, he wouldn't bear to ignore you."
Seizing the opportunity, Jiang Siyu immediately stated her need for a large sum of money.
"Yichen, I only want money. As long as I have enough money, I will go far away and never bother you again. Can you help me?"
Zhan Yichen agreed without hesitation. Problems that could be solved with money were not big problems. He could still help Jiang Siyu with her immediate difficulties.
So he left Jinbi Huihuang with Jiang Siyu. He was a guest, and it was common for guests to take a princess with them, so they left very smoothly.
After following him to the bank to withdraw a large stack of cash, Jiang Siyu was sent to the train station by him.
"Alright, now you have the money. Take these things and leave Pengcheng. Live a good life from now on."
To forgive is divine. Zhan Yichen didn't harbor much hatred towards her, and he didn't overthink helping her this time.
Therefore, after he saw her off, he directly left the station, unaware that the person who had already entered the station had walked out again after he left.
Jiang Siyu certainly wouldn't leave just like that. With the money, she first found a place to stay and bought herself a few outfits.
No longer wearing the clothes provided by Jinbi Huihuang, she finally felt less dirty. However, when she thought of her current predicament being all thanks to Wei Yumeng, she gnashed her teeth in hatred.
She knew she had to wait, wait for an opportunity to repay Wei Yumeng a thousand times over for the pain she had inflicted on her.
During her time in prison, she hadn't learned much else, but her patience had grown. Although eager for revenge, she was not impetuous.
However, instead of her seeking an opportunity, it came to her.
She had never expected to see Feng Shiming again. It was this woman who had given her fake documents, leading to her complete downfall, and eventually her imprisonment, unable to even afford the money to grease the wheels.
So, when Feng Shiming showed up, her first reaction was to slam the door shut. She knew she was no match for anyone now, but if she couldn't fight, she could always hide.
However, since Feng Shiming had come all the way here, she wouldn't let herself be shut out. She reached through the gap in the security door and handed Jiang Siyu a card.
"Are you sure you don't want to invite me in for a visit?"
Seeing the card in her hand, Jiang Siyu hesitated. This was exactly what she needed most. Although she knew it wasn't a gift in her time of need, she couldn't resist the temptation. She opened the door and let Feng Shiming in.
As soon as Feng Shiming entered, she looked as if she found the place extremely distasteful, holding her nose as if there was a foul odor. This made Jiang Siyu very uncomfortable, but she could only endure it and not react.
"Sister Siyu, why are you living here? Are you accustomed to such a shabby room?"
Jiang Siyu glared at her and stopped her hand, which was about to pour water. "I'm used to it. It's more comfortable than a prison cell. Since you find it beneath your status, I won't pour you water. I'm sure you wouldn't want to drink water from my place anyway."
Hearing this, Feng Shiming laughed, "Sister Siyu, you say that as if I'm looking down on you."
She still addressed Jiang Siyu as before, but times had changed, and circumstances were different. Jiang Siyu could no longer afford to buy her bags or any skincare products. She had even reluctantly let her in just now for the card with an unknown amount of money, allowing her to mock her like this.
If we're talking about looking down on someone, Jiang Siyu didn't care about that anymore.
She didn't want to waste time with this woman and directly asked her the purpose of her visit.
"What do you want with me? I don't think I can help you with anything."
Feng Shiming pushed the card towards her. "Sister Siyu, I'm not here to ask for your help. On the contrary, I'm here to help you. You bought me quite a few things before, so it's only right that I help you today."
From her words, Jiang Siyu gradually realized that she had become much more cunning than before and seemed capable of achieving something. She had also heard before that Feng Shiming had been sent abroad. Looking at the woman before her now, she only wanted to know if someone was helping her.
Jiang Siyu knew how capable Feng Shiming was before. She couldn't have grown so quickly without someone behind her.
If she also had a backer, wouldn't taking revenge on Wei Yumeng be as simple as snapping her fingers? Why would she be bent over for money like she was now?
"There's five hundred thousand in this card. It should be enough for you to live on for a while, Sister Siyu. I'm not doing very well myself, so this is all I can help you with."
Feng Shiming's purpose for coming was simple. Mocking her was just incidental; the main reason was to give her money.
With the money delivered, she didn't want to linger in this place, so she stood up and left.
She and Ji Tong had already figured out that once Jiang Siyu got the money, she would use it to take revenge on Wei Yumeng. Then they could stand by with a god's-eye view, calmly watch it all unfold, and reap the benefits.
As for those who had repeatedly humiliated Jiang Siyu and sold her to Jinbi Huihuang, none of them were related to Wei Yumeng; they were all arranged by Ji Tong.
Now, Jiang Siyu regarded Wei Yumeng as her mortal enemy, while Wei Yumeng was completely unaware of the impending danger. Ji Tong greatly enjoyed this situation.
He knew that with Zhan Mohan's protective nature towards his wife and children, if anything happened to them, he would surely become disoriented. Then, he could take over the Zhan Corporation in one gulp. How wonderful would that be?
Meanwhile, Wei Yumeng was completely unaware that she was being framed. Zhan Yichen had also not told her or Zhan Mohan about Jiang Siyu being sold to Jinbi Huihuang.
Since that day at Mu Linjing's house, after Uncle Mu and Auntie Mu learned of their daughter's disappearance, Auntie Mu, unable to bear the shock, became enraged and was now hospitalized.
It was Wei Yumeng and Zhan Yichen who had been by her bedside, occasionally bringing the two children to visit.
Uncle Mu's attitude towards Zhan Yichen remained the same, neither improving nor worsening. Of course, his sole thought now was whether his daughter could be found.
