Jiang Leyi clutched her forehead.
She rummaged through her bag.
And then pulled out a pink gemstone.
She tossed it onto her bed with a domineering attitude akin to an elegant lady, "Can you give me some more time?"
Jiang Nanshu: "..."
"People can be insulted, but money cannot be lost."
She quickly climbed off the bed, behaving very respectfully like a maid, "Your successfully recruited travel assistant, Little Jiang, will be at your service 24 hours a day!"
"Don’t even mention one minute, I would accept it even if you read the Heart Clarity Spell by my ear for a hundred hours."
"..."
Jiang Leyi threw a bag at her, "Put this on, I’m taking you to a place."
Jiang Nanshu, confused, picked out a light blue dress from the bag.
Unlike her usual flamboyant style, this dress was quite refreshing.
After changing, she tied her black hair into a fishtail braid hanging down to her chest, and donned a khaki-colored little western hat with a fresh daisy pinched at the hair’s end.
Jiang Nanshu spun around in front of the mirror, quite pleased with herself.
She walked downstairs and saw that besides Mr. Jiang, the other family members were present.
Everyone else looked normal, but Mrs. Jiang’s complexion was poor; clearly, there was something wrong.
Jiang Nanshu stood on the stairs, watching them, her eyes narrowing slightly, "What? Having a secret meeting behind my back? Practicing group bullying, are you?"
Everyone: "..."
Jiang Yunchuan was particularly afraid of his sister’s sensitivity and overthinking, and quickly explained, "Not at all, we’re discussing going to Fenglin Villa for a hot springs trip."
Jiang Nanshu instantly understood.
"Oh, what’s there to discuss? Just bring the old man together with Chu Xin, and after a year when mom passes away, we’ll open the door to welcome the step-mother!"
Jiang Yunchuan: "..."
Jiang Zhouye: "..."
Jiang Leyi: "..."
Jian Hemian: "?" What’s this now?
Mrs. Jiang: "!"
She was so angry her face turned green.
No, she couldn’t get angry.
She needed to remain calm and composed.
She suddenly suspected that her breast cancer might have been brought on by Chu Xin’s aggravation, perhaps to clear the way for herself after she died!
Jiang Nanshu’s smile was sweet, "I’m really looking forward to gathering with Aunt Chu and the others, and I hope Sister Chu likes me too."
"Hehe, dare to scheme against me, just wait till I take her down."
Jiang Yunchuan: "..."
Jiang Zhouye: "..."
That is truly terrifying!
Mrs. Jiang wanted to say something but then closed her mouth tightly, suddenly very eager to see the Chu Family get what they deserved!
Jian Hemian’s eyes gleamed with interest, and seeing Jiang Nanshu’s outwardly sweet yet inwardly malicious demeanor, he suddenly thought this trip to Fenglin might be very amusing.
He slightly curled his lips into a smile, "I’ve changed my mind; I’ll go have some fun too."
Jiang Yunchuan: "!!!"
He couldn’t even begin to imagine the chaos when these two lunatics were together.
Only Jiang Leyi’s expression changed back and forth, ultimately settling into calmness.
The words "scheming against her" echoed in Jiang Nanshu’s thoughts.
The first person Jiang Leyi thought of was Chu Muxi.
But she couldn’t understand why, after being abroad for three years, she still wanted to reach out to Jiang Nanshu.
She took a deep breath, a struggle evident in her eyes, before finally making a decision, "Jiang Nanshu, come with me to the Chu Family. Xixi has just returned; I need to help her pack the things for Fenglin Villa, and we might have to stay overnight there."
Seeing Chu Muxi?
Jiang Nanshu smiled slightly, quite willing indeed.
"Mm-hmm, then I’ll reluctantly accompany you for the trip."
The two of them walked out side by side.
Such a peaceful scene was quite pleasing to the eye.
Jian Hemian’s phoenix eyes lifted slightly, and he said in a languid voice, "Jiang Nanshu really has changed a lot. She used to hate Jiang Leyi so much that she wished they could fight to the death, such harmony is rare to see."
Jiang Zhouye snickered, "It’s just an act; she has no sense of family affection in her heart."
Jiang Yunchuan hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping himself.
He remembered what Jiang Yisen had said.
In the end, he couldn’t hold back and retorted, "Fourth brother, how can you say such things? It was us who were unfriendly to her from the start. If we had paid more attention to her, maybe she wouldn’t have ended up this way. It’s all because you guys..." He turned his head away: "Despised her for being too rustic to fit into high society."
Jiang Zhouye scoffed coldly, his voice hoarse, "You talk as if you didn’t dismiss her yourself. Who was it that avoided even meeting her when she first came back? You even locked her out in the freezing cold overnight because of your so-called goddess, which resulted in her catching a serious illness. When she finally recovered, you still expected her to go home to see her foster parents. I’ve never seen such cruelty. Otherwise, why would her personality have changed so dramatically?"
"In my opinion, all this started because of you."
Jiang Yunchuan’s eyes reddened with anger, and he almost started fighting with Jiang Zhouye, "How was I to know Lin Yueyue was really like that... If I had known... If..."
Jiang Yunchuan couldn’t continue.
He had been fond of Lin Yueyue during the first month after Jiang Nanshu had returned home.
He was in college and free to date, so he chatted with Lin Yueyue on voice calls without hiding it, and everybody at home knew, letting him pursue her without support but also without opposition.
For scions of wealthy families like them, the first love rarely lasted until the end.
He wanted to be the exception, to prove that true love could exist even within the gates of wealth.
He truly intended to marry Lin Yueyue.
During his enthusiastic pursuit, Jiang Nanshu suddenly claimed that Lin Yueyue was deceiving and playing him.
How could he possibly accept that?
He even asked Lin Yueyue about it. She had been so slandered that she almost attempted suicide, which convinced him that his newly acknowledged sister was just jealous and trying to get in his way.
To take revenge for Lin Yueyue, he intentionally locked Jiang Nanshu outside.
He originally planned to let her stay out for an hour or two to teach her a lesson, but he got absorbed in talking with Lin Yueyue and forgot about her.
It was a housemaid who found Jiang Nanshu passed out from the cold and rushed her to the hospital.
Thinking of these past events.
Jiang Yunchuan’s heart was filled with remorse.
What foolish things had he done?
To hurt his own sister for the sake of an outsider.
Jian Hemian frowned.
Mrs. Jiang yelled sharply, "Enough!"
Both of them fell silent.
Mrs. Jiang’s face flushed with anger as she glared at the two, "We’ve all wronged Nannan; we’ve all been unkind to her. We should be reflecting on ourselves instead of shifting the blame!"
She felt a bitter taste in her heart.
Yes.
The whole family had treated her poorly.
From the moment she set foot in the Jiang Family.
Even her own blood-related relatives looked down on her.
"This matter is not to be mentioned again; in the future, you must be good to Nannan, even if she speaks harshly or makes a mistake, you can’t bully her. It’s our fault; she’s not wrong."
Mrs. Jiang recalled how Jiang Nanshu, when she first entered the family three years ago, would softly and sweetly call her "Mother," follow her around to help, and even when she was busy with Jiang Leyi’s education, she wasn’t upset and always smiled around them, especially around Jiang Leyi.
With an additional child.
It really wasn’t possible to treat everyone equally.
She inherently favored Jiang Leyi, the child she had raised herself.
Mrs. Jiang, feeling a bit weary, waved her hand, "Pack your things; we’ll go over in the afternoon. I’m going upstairs to rest."
The three brothers said nothing more.
Once Mrs. Jiang had left.
Jian Hemian finally spoke up, "Fourth brother, you still don’t understand how to be a good brother."
Jiang Zhouye’s face turned deathly pale.
...
Chu Family.
The family chauffeur dropped the two of them off at the entrance.
Jiang Nanshu looked at the impressive Chu Family villa, her face showing envy, "Wow, Sister Chu’s home is so beautiful."
[So grand and splendid, it looks like the Jiang Family must have invested a lot of money in the Chu Family, tsk. To think in the end they raised a den of ingrates. I wonder if the fake sister will keel over when she finds out her first scumbag boyfriend was deliberately set up by her best friend, hee hee.]
