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."
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."
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.]
