The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Will My Dear Fiancé Get Angry?

Mrs. Jiang finished speaking.

She suddenly felt that her words hadn’t been thought through properly, and she also felt a bit uncomfortable.

How could she not love Jiang Nanshu...

Although it wasn’t the same as her feelings for Jiang Leyi, she had done her duty as a mother.

Feeling ashamed, she walked away with a cold expression.

Mr. Jiang, infuriated, hands on his hips, noticed that Jiang Nanshu was a bit away from them and probably hadn’t heard their conversation. Relieved, he decided to catch up and reprimand Mrs. Jiang, leaving Jiang Yunchuan to keep company with Jiang Nanshu.

Jiang Yunchuan, head down, played with his phone, seemingly in a group chat, therefore not hearing the argument between Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang.

But Jiang Nanshu had heard them; her hearing was always good.

The old Jiang Nanshu indeed needed her family’s care and affection, but the current Jiang Nanshu did not.

Love was never equal.

The care they gave was never equal.

They could be unconditionally good to Jiang Leyi because she had always lived under their protection, but Jiang Nanshu, having grown up wild in the countryside, tread a path of thorns.

Her eyes lowered to the Black Card, her heart seemed pricked once, then returned to calm.

Jiang Nanshu didn’t know why they wanted to be good to her; it felt like an interest-tinged affection, like Mrs. Jiang trying to accept her but unable to get close.

It was contradictory and laughable.

But that didn’t matter, she just needed to ruthlessly spend their money.

After this realization, Jiang Nanshu’s attachment to the Black Card returned, her smile beaming from ear to ear.

"I’ve hit the jackpot, I’m going to buy a truckload of gems!"

Jiang Yunchuan glanced at her and smiled too.

Her happiness was so simple—just gems and money.

He cleared his throat and suggested, "Nannan, if you don’t want to go to the eldest brother’s company, how about my gaming company? It’s on the right track, and I can have my staff play games with you."

Talking about his company, Jiang Yunchuan wore a proud look.

He glanced at the Black Card Jiang Yisen had given her and boasted, "Whatever the eldest brother can give you, I can give you in the future too!"

"Are you sure? Your company only dresses others for the wedding, and that Black Card... even selling you wouldn’t fetch as much."

Jiang Yunchuan: "..."

What Jiang Nanshu heard, however, was her tactful refusal, touched: "I don’t like playing games. Fifth Brother will definitely become as successful a businessman as the eldest brother. Your gaming company will surely make billions a year!"

"First, I’ll butter you up, then I’ll crush you—enjoy the contrast between heaven and hell, dear brother~"

"..." Is it that scary!

As Jiang Nanshu was thinking, she looked up to see a pitiful Lin Yueyue gazing affectionately at Jiang Yunchuan.

"Oh, speaking of the devil, there he is, the one stealing your company!"

Jiang Nanshu nudged Jiang Yunchuan: "Fifth Brother, your sister-in-law is watching you."

Jiang Yunchuan quickly turned around, his face darkening the next instant. Hadn’t he told her not to appear in front of him again?

However, Lin Yueyue, now desperate for money, was capable of anything. She rushed over, her face haggard, nowhere near the proud beauty queen of the past.

How could he have ever liked such a person?

Then he pulled Lin Yueyue aside, "Come with me."

The noise from the two of them ceased.

Jiang Nanshu breathed a sigh of relief.

She blissfully tucked the Black Card into her pocket, deciding to go on a serious shopping spree later.

In the afternoon, she had an elective class in university physics, with the classroom located in the physics department.

She went straight there without even bringing her notes.

However, upon reaching the classroom door, seeing who was waiting there made her wonder for a moment if she was in the wrong place.

Lu Qingyan, although a junior, definitely didn’t need to attend such a class with his capabilities.

"Why is he here! How can he not let go, shouldn’t he be off saving his Bai Yueguang who keeps getting into trouble?"

Lu Qingyan turned his head and spotted Jiang Nanshu, trying to sneak away.

He quickly walked over and grabbed her wrist.

"What are you hiding from?" his voice was cold, seemingly angry.

Jiang Nanshu: "..."

She straightened up, her apricot eyes meeting his, his forehead damp with sweat and his hand carrying a bag with apparently a strawberry-patterned band-aid inside.

Seeing him, Jiang Nanshu instantly burst into laughter, her smile bright and radiant.

"Huh, he actually bought it. What if he knows I was just messing with him, will my dear fiancé get angry?"
