Chapter 52: Large Dog vs Ferocious Beast
A man would not die if he did not seek his own death. Why did he make such a mistake just now?
Therefore, on that day, the Feng family members watched as the man and woman walked at a steady pace, wandering around the lawn a few times.
From Ke Yanbin’s point of view...
Why did their master look like he was holding a grudge against a rope?
Moreover, Jiang Yu was holding onto the rope while Feng Linbai walked steadily behind her...
Why did it feel like Jiang Yu was walking around with a large dog???
Has the master, gone mad?
...
The news of Jiang Yu arriving at the Feng family quickly reached Feng Zhiyi’s ears.
“Do you mean that Linbai called the newly recognized daughter of the Jiang family to the house?”
“Yes, Sir,” the man in front of him said respectfully. “Moreover, the Fifth Young Master has sent an invitation to the young lady of the Jiang family...”
Feng Zhiyi put down the teapot in his hand and said in a low voice, “If Linbai wants to gain the support of the Jiang family, he can indeed start with the daughter of the Jiang family. However, if it’s Jiang Yu...”
“Sir, do you think that Jiang Yu is unsuitable?”
Feng Zhiyi did not answer the man’s question. “Linbai usually has his own plans.”
“Sir seems to believe in Fifth Young Master.”
“Not really. I just have some hopes for him.”
Feng Zhiyi poured boiling water into the teapot, covered it with the lid, and shook the teapot. After washing the tea once, he said slowly,
“If a group of carnivores stays still for too long, and have only been allowed small games, they are usually are the fastest to resort to using their fangs. If you can hope to cage up the ferocious beast.”
The only way to let a group of carnivores, who have lived in peace for too long and have only been allowed small game, reveal their fangs the fastest, you’ve got to toss a fierce beast into the cage.
“Feng Linbai, he’s the ferocious beast.”
...
When Jiang Yu returned to the Jiang family home, Jiang Chenglang and Jiang Wan were both sitting in the living room.
When she heard the sound of the door, Jiang Wan Yang raised her voice and said, “Sister, you’re back!”
“Mmm.”
Jiang Yu replied and then walked into the kitchen.
Jiang Wan vaguely heard her talking to the chef about cooking less in the afternoon. She wasn’t very hungry...
Jiang Wan was stunned. According to Jiang Yu’s words, she had eaten her fill at the Feng family house?
Then why doesn’t she just have lunch at the Feng family house before returning?!
Actually, Jiang Yu had considered doing this.
However, when she thought about how there were so many people in the Feng family, of all the strangers she would have to face during lunch, if they were all like Feng Wenshu who had nothing to say, it would affect her appetite. That was why she decided to come back.
Even though...
The food prepared by the Feng family chef seemed to be a little better than the food made by the Jiang family chef.
Sigh, it was a pity. She wanted to eat crispy duck.
Jiang Yu came out of the kitchen regretfully and was about to go back to her room when she was stopped by Jiang Chenglang.
“Xiao Yu, I heard that you went to the Feng family home today?”
Where else would he hear this other than from Jiang Wan?
Jiang Yu wasn’t surprised at all that Jiang Wan had told Jiang Chenglang about her visit to the Feng family. She nodded and admitted, “Yes.”
Jiang Chenglang advised, “Of course, it’s not a problem for you to make friends. However, because of the complicated relationship between the Feng family, you should be careful.”
Jiang Yu heard the true meaning of Jiang Chenglang’s words and understood that he was worried that she would get involved in the Feng family’s mess.
She nodded slightly. “I understand.”
“Big Brother, sister definitely knows her limits and won’t bring trouble to our family.”
Jiang Wan suddenly spoke up and put in a good word for Jiang Yu, “Sister only went because she has a good relationship with Fifth Young Master Feng and didn’t think too much about it. Big Brother, you have to believe in our sister. She will definitely not make any decisions using our family name.”
Chapter 53: I Too Am a Daughter of the Jiang Family, What Gives You the Right to Criticize Me?
Jiang Wan was the best at sowing discord.
Jiang Yu curled her lips into a smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes.
She glanced at Jiang Wan and asked, “Since my surname is Jiang, why can’t I use the Jiang family name for something?”
Jiang Wan was stunned. She hadn’t expected Jiang Yu to refute her so quickly.
She pursed her lips and said weakly, “Sister, that’s not what I meant...”
Jiang Yu sneered. She wouldn’t let Jiang Wan retreat just like that.
She then asked, “Or do you think that only you can use the name of the Jiang family and I can’t?”
“Sister, I-I didn’t say that...”
“But I think that’s what you meant.”
Jiang Yu didn’t give Jiang Wan a chance to catch her breath. She glared at her coldly and asked, “I too am a daughter of the Jiang family... What gives you the right to criticize me?”
She dragged out the word “daughter” laced with a hint of sarcasm. After speaking, she snorted in contempt.
She didn’t look at Jiang Chenglang’s expression because she didn’t care.
If she wanted to say something, she will say it. No one could stop her.
In fact, when Jiang Chenglang heard Jiang Yu’s question, he did not offer any words.
Jiang Wan panicked. “Sister, I really didn’t mean that. I wasn’t accusing you. You really misunderstood me...”
“I don’t think there was any misunderstanding.”
Jiang Yu looked at her pointedly, as if looking into Jiang Wan’s heart. “Do you dare swear that you really don’t think that way?”
Jiang Wan was momentarily blindsided.
There was no other reason in fact. Jiang Yu’s gaze was too sharp, as though she could see through Jiang Wan’s facade.
She was merely a daughter raised by a small family. How could she possess such an oppressive gaze?!
Jiang Wan did not reply immediately after that brief moment of lapse. She had lost her edge.
From the corner of her eyes, she saw that Jiang Chenglang was watching her. He was sizing her up. Jiang Wan blinked and her eyes immediately turned red.
“Sister, you really misunderstood me. I just... I just wanted to vouch for you. Although my words may not have been what I meant and made you misunderstand... I... I really believe you...”
Jiang Wan was flustered as she struggled to explain herself. It was as if she had been forced into a corner by Jiang Yu’s barrage of questions.
Her tearful face made Jiang Yu look like a bitter and evil sister who was interrogating her without relent.
However, Jiang Yu maintained her look of cold indifference. She was not moved by Jiang Wan’s performance at all.
What was more interesting was that Jiang Chenglang did not speak up for Jiang Wan even at this moment.
He stood beside them like a statue and frowned.
He wanted to say something, but suddenly, he felt that it was unnecessary.
Jiang Yu was taller than Jiang Wan. At this moment, she looked down at her and said coldly, “Jiang Wan, do you know?”
“Wh... What?”
“What people say subconsciously is often the truth.”
After saying this, Jiang Yu turned around and left.
After dealing with a few people in a row today and talking so much, she was exhausted. She just wanted to go to her room and lie down.
Jiang Wan was left stunned on the spot.
Jiang Yu’s last sentence seemed to have accumulated energy and landed a heavy blow.
Jiang Chenglang finally spoke up.
After Jiang Yu left, Jiang Chenglang said with a complicated expression, “Wan Wan, what you said today was indeed wrong.”
Chapter 54: Will Not Chase You Out
Jiang Wan raised her small face. Her eyes were red as if she was trying to control herself and not let her tears fall.
She said with a quiver in her voice, “Big Brother, I know I said the wrong thing, but do you also think I’m deliberately making things up about my sister?”
Jiang Chenglang did not answer.
Jiang Wan was shocked.
It was over. Big Brother’s appearance showed that he was dissatisfied with her.
Jiang Chenglang did have an indescribable feeling in his heart.
When Jiang Wan opened her mouth and said those two sentences, he also felt that it was a little inappropriate.
Those words seemed to imply that Jiang Yu went to the Feng family to push the Jiang family out. Although he didn’t have much contact with Jiang Yu, he didn’t think that she was that kind of person.
Then, he originally wanted to smooth things over for Jiang Wan so that Jiang Yu wouldn’t think too much of it. Who would have thought that Jiang Yu would fight back so directly?
That’s right. From the first day they met, Jiang Chenglang knew that Jiang Yu wasn’t someone who could be bullied.
If she was unhappy, she would immediately retaliate.
She had not given him any face at all.
What he did not expect was the following conversation between Jiang Yu and Jiang Wan.
Logically speaking, after she discovered that Jiang Yu was unhappy, Jiang Wan should have immediately apologized.
She had always been understanding and considerate. However, up until Jiang Yu left, she tried to deny it, saying that that was not her intention, that Jiang Yu had misunderstood.
But, she did not even say “I’m sorry”.
Jiang Chenglang’s frown deepened.
Wan Wan... should not be like this.
Jiang Wan sobbed, “Brother, I really didn’t do it on purpose.”
Jiang Chenglang sighed.
Jiang Yu’s last sentence wasn’t wrong. Only when a person has made up their mind about another person’s actions would they say something like that.
For Wan Wan to say such words... It proved that she had been thinking that way.
“Since you’ve already realized that you said something wrong, you should apologize to Xiao Yu.”
Jiang Chenglang pursed his lips and said, “Even if you’ve repeatedly told us that you didn’t think that way and that you misspoke, if you really didn’t think that way, you wouldn’t have said it.”
“Even after you told me about this matter, I didn’t say anything like that.”
“Since I didn’t say anything of such nature, Wan Wan, why would you say such things?”
Jiang Wan sniffled and sobbed, “I... I...”
She hadn’t figured out how to make things right, so of course, she couldn’t say anything.
Jiang Chenglang felt a headache coming on.
He had originally thought, no matter it was just to honor his mother’s wishes, or to reunite the family, he shouldn’t let the Jiang family’s flesh and blood stay separated. He needed to find his little sister.
And after finding his little sister, the most important thing was to get her back to the Jiang family as soon as possible.
Therefore, he only told Jiang Wan about this matter after he had completed a series of procedures.
He thought that no matter what, Jiang Yu was the daughter of the Jiang family and Jiang Wan’s relative.
Usually, only he and Jiang Wan resided in the Jiang family home. He was busy with work and often left early and returned late. It must be very boring for Jiang Wan to be at home alone. Now that she had an older sister to accompany her, she should be happy.
He thought that with Jiang Wan’s gentle personality, even if Jiang Yu was an introvert, she would still be able to get along with Jiang Yu. But now, it seemed like that was not the case.
Why was that?
Was it because... Wan Wan felt that if Jiang Yu came back, he would not dote on her anymore?
Jiang Chenglang was a little annoyed. He pinched his forehead and said, “Wan Wan, even if you are not related to us by blood, you are still the daughter of the Jiang family. Don’t worry. Even though Xiao Yu has returned, we will not chase you out.”
