After Going Viral on a Dating Show, I'm Pampered by All-Chapter 143 - : Jiaojiao, You’re All Mom Has Left
Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Jiaojiao, You’re All Mom Has Left
Mrs. Sang shook her head, crying torrents of tears. She knew all too well that what Sang Zheng had just said was not out of anger, but serious.
But she could not compromise, nor would she seek out Sang Qiao to repair the mother-daughter relationship.
Her aversion and disgust towards Sang Qiao were almost as if etched into her DNA, and for this Sang Zheng was also to blame, though he would never understand it.
Mrs. Sang’s heart grew increasingly panicked. She reached out and clutched Sang Jiao’s arm tightly, like a person nearing death grasping at the last straw.
“Jiaojiao, you’re all I have left. You won’t leave me, right?”
“Of course not, it’s okay, I have shares, I can support you,” Sang Jiao said, feeling a sticky sensation on her arm—it was Mrs. Sang’s snot and tears.
She held back her disgust and gently patted her back.
“Jiaojiao, meeting you is probably one of the luckiest things in my life,” Mrs. Sang said, breaking into a smile through her tears.
Sang Jiao thought to herself with disdain: “Disgusting.”
“Jiaojiao, you already hold twenty percent of the shares. If Qingran’s ten percent were given to you, you’d be the largest shareholder, right?”
“Yes, but I have never thought about taking Third Brother’s shares, and I can also give yours back to you,” Sang Jiao replied promptly, not forgetting to express her “disinterest” in the shares.
She could probably guess what Mrs. Sang was thinking, but she could not say it out loud.
Third Brother was too suspicious by nature.
“I know you don’t want them, but you’ve seen how Sang Zheng is treating me now. The Sang Family no longer has a place for us. Why not rely on ourselves to carve out a world of our own? Once you become the biggest shareholder, you can rightfully go to the company to work, and perhaps in the future you can even take Sang Zheng’s position.”
As Mrs. Sang spoke these words, she became increasingly convinced that this plan was feasible.
Wasn’t Sang Zheng just arrogant because he was the manager of the Sang Family business?
Wasn’t he favoring Sang Qiao just because she was successful in her career? What Sang Qiao could do, Jiaojiao could do too!
“Mom, I… don’t want Third Brother’s shares. I don’t want to be seen as someone who is vain and avaricious in his eyes.”
“You’re not being vain and avaricious, you’re planning for our future. Qingran will understand.”
“But…”
“There are no buts. Let’s settle it like this. I’ll speak to Qingran,” Mrs. Sang declared firmly.
Sang Jiao pretended she had no choice but to accept. Only when Mrs. Sang got up and sat down on the sofa did she head to the kitchen, discreetly pulling out her phone to send a message to Third Brother.
[Today Dad came over and said a lot of harsh things to Mom and demanded that we curry favor with Sang Qiao. Mom didn’t agree, and they quarreled. Mom, in a fit of anger, wants you to give me your shares so I could confront Dad at the company. Please don’t listen to her, I don’t have such grand ambitions, but I really can’t persuade Mom, and I don’t want you to misunderstand me.]
After sending the message, Sang Jiao put away the phone and brought out a glass of water for Mrs. Sang.

Su Family
The moment Mr. and Mrs. Su laid eyes on Fu Xing, they were against them being together, thinking he was not a good match for their family; moreover, his reputation online had been so poor before.
What good could come from someone who could even bite back at the company that gave him a hand up?
“I don’t care, I just want to be with Fu Xing, and today I’m only informing you, not seeking permission. Have you ever cared about me all these years?”
Su Nuanying looked at them with tear-filled eyes, her hand firmly clasped with Fu Xing’s under the table.
“Are you blaming us? If it wasn’t for us working hard outside, could you live such a good life? Could you attend such a good university?” Mrs. Su’s face turned cold immediately.
She and the child’s father had struggled outside for so many years to give their child a superior life. They could accept it if there was no gratitude, but to be blamed as well? How could she endure that?
“But I don’t want these things. Even if we were poor I wouldn’t care. When other kids were bullied, their parents would stand up for them, all you did was tell me to report to the teacher, but sometimes that’s useless!”
Su Nuanying’s eyes were red, she sniffled. She didn’t understand why everyone wouldn’t let her be with Fu Xing, yet he was the only person in the world who made her feel loved.
“Then why don’t you consider why only you are being bullied, could it be that there’s something wrong with you as well?”
Mrs. Su snapped irritably. She was exhausted, rarely having free time, and on top of that, her child was still clueless, not understanding how to be considerate of them.
“Yes, it’s all my fault, okay?” Su Nuanying, wiping her tears, ran out directly.
“Xingxing!” Grandma Su called out worriedly. “Look at you, not speaking properly to the child, so confrontational.”
“Mom, we are really tired from work. Did you see Xingxing’s attitude? Does it look like she wants to talk it through? She’s hell-bent on being with that unreliable boy.”
Mr. Su sighed deeply. They weren’t unenlightened parents. If that boy were actually decent, they would accept him even if his family were too poor to eat.
The problem was that Fu Xing didn’t seem trustworthy right from the start, trying to pull a fast one without any sincerity.
“But…”
“Mom, you should rest early. Nothing will happen to Xingxing. Once she graduates, I’ll arrange for her to intern at the company. I won’t give her another penny; she’s just been too comfortable these years!”
“Don’t be too harsh,” Grandma Su still felt uneasy.
“We know where to draw the line.”
After the Su’s parents left the dining room, they first went to the school to say that Xingxing would go out for an internship in the next few days and someone would come to pick up her diploma upon graduation.
After all, the Su Family had made considerable investments, so the school was very accommodating.
The next day, all of Su Nuanying’s cards were frozen, and she was arranged to join the Su Family company.
She sat in the office with a sulky face, doing nothing productive. When her boss asked her to photocopy documents, she tore them up completely. When asked to pour water, she handed over an empty cup and even brazenly cracked sunflower seeds and played games in the office.
As a result, her office mates suffered, unable to bear the noise, the floor littered with sunflower seed shells.
When the boss gave her a talking-to, she didn’t listen, leaving him no choice but to step out and call his superior.
Mrs. Su tossed out a light remark, “Besides firing her, you’re free to punish her as you see fit, whether it’s docking her pay or having her work overtime.”
After hanging up the phone, the boss was left with a headache. How was he supposed to discipline someone who refused to be disciplined?
No matter if he docked her entire salary, she wouldn’t obey, let alone stay and work overtime.
Since the order had come from above, he could only make a symbolic effort to say a few words.
Sure enough, Su Nuanying just laughed off the deduction of her salary, “Do I look like I plan to take a salary?”
Her one day at the company was torture for everyone in the office. They couldn’t wait to leave at the end of the workday, running out as if liberated.
Su Nuanying also found a chance to leave the company and immediately phoned Fu Xing to come pick her up.
