201 unwilling but not confident
Xuan wanrou’s face was filled with disbelief. She thought of how Xuan Liuying had mentioned that Shi Yan was someone who could easily kill her.
at that time, she had thought that even if shi yan was really capable, xuan liuying, an uncultured ordinary woman who had been struggling in the stinking ditch all year round, could not be more well-informed than her.
if she didn’t know, xuan liuying would definitely not know.
He didn’t take it to heart, but he was shocked and quickly forgot about it.
the su family!
B0x𝔫oѵ𝑒𝙡.com
how could shi yan be related to the su family?
That was the SU group in Haicheng, an existence that was almost as important as the Jiang group!
however, the person in front of her was the head of the su family group. the intimacy in her words towards shi yan was so obvious that it couldn’t be fake!
on what basis?
why did they have such good lives?
Jiang Rui was one, and so was Shi Yan!
it was a fact that she had offended shi yan, so she didn’t dare to answer su yunzhi’s question.
he could only lie to himself and pretend that he did not hear her as he turned to xuan liuying.
seeing su yunzhi holding xuan liuying’s arm, xuan wanrou’s eyes were filled with absurdity.
the best friend of the su family organization’s leader?
the goddess of the capital university?
This uncultured woman who had lived with her for 19 years and could only do the lowest kind of work?
how was that possible?
This was too ridiculous!
since you’re friends with President su and you’re a graduate of Jingdu University, why are you still leading me to live like a rat in a stinking ditch? ”
“Why did you do that? experience life? but do you have to drag me along with you to experience life? do you know how much i’ve been embarrassed in front of my classmates all these years with a mother like you who can’t even show her face?”
“now that you can live a good life, you want to cast me off? Xuan Liuying, how could I not see that you are such a selfish and vicious person all these years!”
su yunzhi’s face darkened at her words. she looked at xuan liuying worriedly and said to xuan wanrou, ” “little girl, watch your mouth when you speak!”
xuan liuying patted the back of her hand, indicating that she was fine.
however, to be honest, she was still very disappointed in xuan wanrou.
At a time like this, she wasn’t thinking about why she brought her to live such a life or if there were any difficulties, but rather, she was questioning her.
the unpresentable mother wanwan
As the saying goes, a dog doesn’t mind being poor if its mother is ugly.
he even said that she was selfish and vicious.
she was indeed selfish to her parents, but she was not selfish at all to xuan wanrou, the daughter she had raised for nineteen years, much less vicious.
looking at xuan wanrou, xuan liuying said,”am i cutting ties with you, or are you just dying to leave this unpresentable mother of yours?”
Xuan wanrou had never seen Xuan Liuying with such a sharp gaze and was a little stunned.
“experience life? Am I sick or what? I’ve experienced this kind of life for 19 years? Is this a good day that I can’t bear to part with?”
“i have my reasons for living like this, but wanrou, do you care? i gave you a chance, but you insisted on leaving. the letter of disownment was written by you, have you forgotten?”
xuan wanrou’s face paled.
” there’s no point in saying all this now. you and i have nothing to do with each other anymore. you can just live your life with your biological parents in the future. ”
the qian couple, who had finally acknowledged their daughter, xuan wanrou, had not even had the time to be happy before they encountered such an unforeseen event.
he had received too much explosive information in an instant.
their daughter’s adoptive mother was not simple. she was also best friends with the su family organization’s ceo. their daughter was not as outstanding as they had imagined. she had offended someone and was even sued!
Liu Yufen came to her senses and nudged Xuan wanrou.”wanrou, what happened? didn’t you say that your adoptive mother was an uncultured old woman who only knew how to do lowly work?”
“Also, what’s going on with being sued? tell me the truth!”
“You should talk about your family matters at home,” a voice interrupted them.
su mu walked forward and greeted su yunzhi and xuan liuying in turn, ” “mom, first aunt.”
By calling su Yunzhi “mother,” his identity was clear.
the eldest young master of the su family, the heir of the su family!
Xuan wanrou looked at him in shock.
Her eyes flashed with amazement.
another talented young man with a good family background!
su mu took in xuan wanrou’s gaze and frowned in disgust. he threw out a pile of documents. ” these are all the things I’ve found out about miss Qian wanrou. I’ve found out everything about her, such as bribing gangsters to bully female classmates.
” if miss qian wanrou is smart enough, you should take these things and get out of here. otherwise, these alone are enough to ruin your reputation. ”
Xuan wanrou subconsciously caught the things he had thrown at her. When she heard his words and glanced at the information in her hands, her pupils constricted and her eyes were filled with panic.
h-how could this be?
How did he find out about this?
I didn’t intend to investigate you at first, but you’re my aunt’s adopted daughter, my cousin Jiang Rui’s high school classmate, and the person who caused trouble for my sister Shi Yan. Of course, I had to do a thorough investigation. I didn’t expect to find so many things.
his tone was calm, but there was a hint of fierceness.
there was only shock and fear in xuan wanrou’s eyes.
“are you thinking that since jiang rui isn’t the jiang family’s biological daughter, her life won’t be any better in the future? if that’s the case, then you’re gravely mistaken.”
“Your foster mother is my eldest aunt, so Jiang Rui is naturally my cousin.”
“Have you heard of the Yu family of Sea city? oh, people of your level probably haven’t heard of it. twenty years ago, the yu family’s status in haicheng was even higher than the jiang and su families.”
“the yu family’s third young master has been developing overseas for the past few years and will be returning to haicheng soon. Although Rui ‘er is no longer the young miss of the Jiang family, she is the only daughter of the Yu family and is still the most famous lady in Haicheng.”
“no! This is impossible!” xuan wanrou staggered.
Su mu had said all this on purpose.
When he received Shi Yan’s call in the afternoon, he had guessed that Xuan wanrou had completely angered Shi Yan.
Previously, when Xuan wanrou had caused trouble for Shi Yan, su mu had wanted to help Shi Yan vent her anger, but Shi Yan had not let him. now that he had the opportunity, he would not let it go.
in the past, he had disdained to deal with an unknown small figure like this, but this time, he wanted to do so.
a vain person like xuan wanrou could not bear to see others doing better than her.
She thought that Yanyan was of low birth and that she was nothing without Jiang Rui ‘er. Then he would tell her that Yanyan’s identity was something she would never be able to reach. Even without the Jiang family, Rui ‘er would still be the daughter of the Yu family, the most distinguished socialite in Haicheng!
having said that, su mu didn’t pay any more attention to xuan wanrou, and looked at qian ming and liu yufen with his calm eyes.”you exchanged the jiang family’s daughter back then, right? what do you think the young master of the jiang family will do to you now that your sister has been killed by me?”
the two of them had a huge change in expression.
He didn’t care about anything else and didn’t dare to stay any longer. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, su mu would directly call Jiang Cheng over.
seeing that xuan wanrou wasn’t following after her, liu yufen suddenly thought of something and turned back to drag her away. ” “you’re a debt collector, why are you still pretending to be dead! if i didn’t want to give you a good life, i wouldn’t have gotten into so much trouble!”
Su Yunzhi looked at their backs and added, ” the person who sued qian wanrou is the precious daughter of the su family. the court session will start this friday afternoon. remember to get a lawyer. if you have a good defense lawyer, you might get a lighter sentence! ”
xuan wanrou was indignant, but she did not have the confidence.
with a pile of information in her hands that was enough to ruin her reputation, she felt even less confident.
She could only let Liu Yufen drag her away.
he seemed to have lost his soul.
202 Don’t interfere too much
Sitting in the car, su Yunzhi looked at Xuan Liuying, who had been silent the entire time, ” “you can’t bear to?”
Xuan Liuying shook her head. not really. I’m just feeling a little emotional and a little glad.
“What’s there to be happy about?”
“i’m glad rui ‘er didn’t grow up by my side.”
“If Rui ‘er had grown up by my side, I’m really afraid that she would have been raised like wanrou,” he said emotionally.
B0x𝔫oѵ𝑒𝙡.com
Su Yunzhi disagreed,”what are you thinking? if Rui ‘er was by your side, she wouldn’t have been raised like this, okay?” i’ve been watching you secretly all these years, and there’s nothing wrong with your way of teaching. look at su mu, i didn’t even teach him anything, but isn’t he still growing well? Do you really think that the child’s growth has anything to do with education?”
“It’s true that it’s related, but I don’t think it’s a big deal. at least, it doesn’t matter much to you, my adopted daughter.”
“Still, there’s nothing wrong with your way of teaching. weren’t you also strict with her when she was young? It’s because she grew up and unknowingly became crooked that you didn’t control her these few years. You’re afraid that her rebellious period will get worse the more you control her. ”
of course, there was another point. xuan liuying might have been tired and did not want to care anymore.
her daughter was the only thing yu wushuang had left for xuan liuying, but xuan wanrou had no shadow of yu wushuang and was so selfish. xuan liuying would get tired of it.
without any trace of him, it was equivalent to the thought that supported her to live on.
this was a huge blow to xuan liuying.
however, su yunzhi did not say it out loud.
“you might not know rui ‘er’s situation, but she’s been doted on by the jiang family. everyone in the circle knows that the young master of the jiang family dotes on his sister and will grant her whatever she wants. but look at rui ‘er, did she develop a proud, willful, and arrogant personality that looks down on others?”
“i don’t think so?”
” think about it again. if your adopted daughter and rui ‘er were to switch positions, do you think she wouldn’t grow up in a spoilt environment? ”
Xuan Liuying was silent.
“liu ying, sometimes i have to admit that genes really have an effect on a person.”
after a moment of silence, xuan liuying said,”i’m still very glad ..”
” i’m glad that my daughter didn’t suffer with me. she has a group of family members who pamper her since she was young. ”
As she spoke, Xuan Liuying looked hesitantly at su Yunzhi.”su er, i have something to ask you.”
Her expression was a little serious, and su Yunzhi couldn’t help but become serious as well.”you can ask.”
“Has the child of the Jiang family really been good to Rui ‘er all this time?”
“You mean Jiang Cheng? of course. if you don’t believe me, you can ask su mu. he and jiang cheng could be considered to be friends. everyone in the circle knew that jiang cheng only doted on his sister and didn’t even have a girlfriend. he doesn’t even have a girlfriend, and he doesn’t even have many close friends of the opposite sex.”
“I heard that since Rui ‘er was ten years old, everything in her life, big and small, was arranged by Jiang Cheng. No one else in the family interfered. jiang cheng, a teenager, can take care of rui ‘er in every possible way. he even personally tutored rui’ er with her homework. i heard that rui ‘er’s college entrance examination results even exceeded the admission line of jingdu university by quite a bit. she chose haicheng university because she couldn’t bear to be too far away from home.”
“Do you think Jiang Cheng is good to Rui ‘er?”
Xuan Liuying asked this not because she didn’t believe the rumors that Jiang Sheng was good to Jiang Rui.
she had asked this question because she had trusted him too much.
that night at the jiang family’s house, she had seen with her own eyes how jiang sheng and jiang rui interacted. jiang sheng’s heart and eyes were indeed filled with jiang rui.
she then thought of jiang cheng’s private conversation with her and the information he had revealed.
but su er, Rui ‘er’s brother already knew about her background.
Xuan Liuying finally spoke.
su yunzhi wasn’t stupid and quickly understood what she meant. she was also shocked.”you’re saying that jiang cheng’s love for rui ‘er isn’t just a brother-sister relationship?”
After that, the two of them fell silent.
Su mu, who had heard their conversation from the driver’s seat, interrupted, ” “first aunt, mom, why are you guys worrying over nothing? jiang cheng and rui ‘er aren’t blood-related, so if they really have other feelings for each other, it’s not a bad thing.”
“you guys don’t have much contact with jiang cheng, so you don’t know how much he values rui ‘er. I dare say that no one in this world can treat Rui ‘er better than him.”
“compared to handing the rest of rui ‘er’s life to an unknown man, isn’t jiang cheng more trustworthy? Rui ‘er isn’t a child, and Jiang Cheng isn’t either. They know what they’re doing, so don’t worry so much.”
compared to the others, jiang rui definitely valued jiang cheng the most. they grew up together, and it wasn’t something they could interfere with just because they were related by blood.
Su mu didn’t want them to be a nuisance. Otherwise, the friendship between them and Jiang Rui, which was already not much, would probably become even weaker.
After hesitating for a moment, su mu still felt that he should be more direct.
“first aunt, mom, to be honest, we’re only related to rui ‘er by blood. we’re far from the relationship she had with jiang cheng. as family members and elders, we can watch from the side and give some advice, but it’s not appropriate for us to interfere too much.”
” we haven’t even officially acknowledged rui ‘er yet. we don’t want rui’ er to not even acknowledge us as her family in the end. ”
The two of them were shocked.
especially xuan liuying.
That night at the Jiang family’s residence, Jiang Rui had left with Jiang Cheng. When she left, Jiang Rui did not even look at her biological mother.
perhaps it was because the sudden revelation of the truth had dealt a huge blow to jiang rui, so she had no time to care about anything else. however, she had seen jiang rui’s subconsciously display of dependence on jiang sheng.
The relationship between her and Jiang Cheng, who had grown up together, was indeed far better than the relationship she had with her relatives who had appeared halfway.
after a long time, xuan liuying said, ” i’m not trying to interfere. i just thought that rui ‘er is still young. they used to be siblings. i’m afraid that people will gossip. ”
“what’s there to be afraid of people gossiping about? When Rui ‘er and the Yu family acknowledged each other, the marriage between the two families would be perfectly justified. brother and sister become husband and wife, and after so many twists and turns, they are still a family. this might even become a beautiful story.”
su mu was so open-minded not because he didn’t care about his cousin, jiang rui.
He knew Jiang Sheng’s character and how much he valued Jiang Rui. He also knew how much Jiang Rui relied on and trusted her brother.
most importantly, he knew that jiang rui was not a person without ideas.
jiang rui was very smart and clear. she would make her own choices in the future.
Nineteen years old?
she was already an adult and not young anymore. she should be responsible for her own life.
jing hailan was only nineteen when she first kissed him.
if jing hailan could confirm her feelings for him at nineteen, there was no reason that jiang rui couldn’t.
children from big families like them came into contact with their family’s business when they were about 16 or 17 years old. those who didn’t come into contact with their family’s business had their own social circles. few of them were still innocent and didn’t know anything by the time they were 19.
after a long time, su yunzhi sighed. ” then let’s wait and see. perhaps we’re just overthinking it. ”
“On the other hand, Yanyan is urging su mu to do something. You keep an eye on her, and if Yanyan needs any help, you can help her. With Yanyan’s calm personality, for her to call you and ask you to interfere with your aunt’s adopted daughter’s transfer of household register, I’m afraid it’s a big deal.”
xuan liuying did not know about this.
but she wasn’t stupid and could guess for herself.
she had met shi yan a few times and knew that she was a very mild-tempered person. it was probably not easy to provoke her emotions, let alone anger her.
Thinking back to how Xuan wanrou had arrived late and had even said those things to her in anger, Xuan Liuying guessed that Xuan wanrou must have gone to find Shi Yan and done something to anger Shi Yan.
he remained silent and did not ask further.
Su Yunzhi had deliberately said these words in front of Xuan Liuying. Seeing that Xuan Liuying had no reaction, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Liu Ying’s edges and corners were not completely worn off.
203 miss shi misses me
shi yan had borrowed a lot of books from the library at noon. after two elective classes in the afternoon, she didn’t go to the library again and went straight back to her dormitory.
he just sat in the dormitory and read.
she read books, song meilian drew comics, and chang ru went to look for food for her class monitor, who also liked good food. she also went to complete her live broadcast target for the month.
ren kexin had nowhere to go, so she returned to the dormitory.
she was lying in bed with her headphones on and watching tv out of boredom.
B0x𝔫oѵ𝑒𝙡.com
After watching an episode, she saw that Shi Yan was still reading and song Meilian was still drawing seriously. She felt that she was too useless, so she took out a book from the pile of books Shi Yan borrowed from the library and sat at her desk to read it.
It was almost 5:30 pm when they agreed to go to the cafeteria for lunch.
It was also when she was eating in the canteen that Shi Yan received a message from su mu, telling her that Xuan wanrou’s household register had been transferred.
After returning to the dormitory from the cafeteria, Shi Yan took her phone to the balcony and prepared to make a call.
shi yan had already edited and edited the video that song meilian had shot. She was going to post the full version on the school forum, edit it, and spend some money on the marketing account to gain popularity.
she wasn’t joking when she said that she wanted to smear xuan wanrou’s reputation.
he actually had the idea of getting some hoodlums to ruin her! If she didn’t react, she would be easy to bully.
It was not difficult to contact a few marketing accounts, and she was not afraid that others would find out that it was her.
that was why she didn’t look for anyone else and contacted them herself.
It took him less than ten minutes to finish all this.
However, Shi Yan did not return to the dormitory immediately. She stood on the balcony and made another call.
he called jiang che.
Although her face and name were blurred out in the video, people who were familiar with her could still recognize her.
She was afraid that Jiang che would feel that she had something to deal with on her own and not ask for his help, and would secretly sulk, so she called him to let him know.
the call went through quickly.
“Miss Shi.” The other party called out to her as soon as the call connected.
her voice was clear and gentle.
Shi Yan stood on the balcony, holding her phone in one hand and poking the pot of succulents with her index finger.
the meaty ones were raised by chang ru.
Shi Yan poked at the meaty meat and listened to Jiang Che’s voice. The corners of her lips lifted slightly.”mr. jiang, have you had dinner?”
in the study of the main building of bamboo garden, jiang che sat in front of his desk. the computer in front of him was on. he looked at the time and saw that it was almost six o ‘clock.
he rubbed his temples and turned to look out the window.”I’m going downstairs to eat.”
“mr. jiang, you’re still busy?” shi yan’s hand that was poking the meaty meat paused.
Her tone didn’t seem to have changed, but Jiang che could still hear the slight difference.
the corners of her lips curled up. ” yes, i have something to do, but i’m almost done. i’ll go downstairs to eat first. ” don’t worry, ms. shi. it’s just a once in a while thing. i’m very disciplined in my daily life.”
“Then you should go downstairs to eat.”
“Alright,” he said. Jiang che got up and walked out of the study, but he did not hang up.
“miss shi, are you calling me at this time because you miss me?”
his voice was warm, but the words he asked were straightforward without any beating around the bush. one could even vaguely hear the low laughter coming from his throat.
shi yan was slightly stunned, but then she also smiled.”Yeah, I missed you.”
On the contrary, it made Jiang che stop in his tracks, followed by a low laugh.
“Then, other than missing me, is there anything else, miss Shi?”
Shi Yan had always called him at around 10 p.m. During the military training. It was now 6 p.m. According to Jiang Che’s guess, if she had nothing else to do at this time, she should be reading. Jiang che did not believe that she had called at this time and said that she only missed him.
“There’s something.”
As expected.
“miss shi, please speak.”
” i have a video in my hands. i’ve bought a few press releases, and i’m preparing to spread this video in a short time. ”
Jiang che immediately understood. miss Shi, are you afraid that I’ll be angry when I see this video and find out that you didn’t ask me for help? ” he asked.
“Mr. Jiang, you’re so smart.” Shi Yan pursed her lips and smiled.
stop coaxing me with your sweet words, Ms. Shi. Do you think I’m such a petty person? ”
“no, i just wanted to mention it to you.”
“Really?”
Jiang che walked into the dining room, and Jiang Lin placed the dishes that had been prepared long ago on the table.
“Really?” Shi Yan smiled.
miss Shi, I like it when you look for me the first time you encounter any problems. However, if it’s something that you can handle on your own, you can handle it yourself when you want to.
but I’m glad you told me in advance. I’ll keep it up in the future.
he was so overbearing to directly state his request.
“yes, i’ll keep it up,” shi yan chuckled.
“Did someone make you angry?” jiang che asked.
” you didn’t make me angry. you did, so i wanted to teach you a lesson. ”
“do you need my help?”
no need. Is Mr. Jiang downstairs yet? ”
“i’m here. i’m preparing to eat in the restaurant. Miss Shi, you’re really strict with me. ”
his laughter made shi yan’s ears burn, and her tone was a little sullen. who cares about you? I’m just being concerned.
“Yes, miss Shi is very concerned about me.”
Shi Yan,”Yingluo.”
She was too thick-skinned to argue with him.
Jiang che chuckled. miss Shi, I’m going to eat now. Don’t just sit there and read. Go downstairs and take a walk after you read for a while. I’ll go to school to have dinner with you tomorrow.
“alright,” he said.
after hanging up the phone, jiang che didn’t eat immediately. the smile on his face faded.
although there was not much anger on his face, and he was still gentle and calm, jiang lin had been by his side for many years and knew that he was angry.
“Fifth Lord.” He spoke respectfully, waiting for Jiang Che’s instructions.
find out what Yan Yan bribed. Let me know immediately after finding out.
three minutes later, jiang lin found out.
the news article that shi yan had bought had just been released, and it had just gained popularity.
Jiang Lin immediately reported the truth to Jiang che. He even showed Jiang che the video that Shi Yan had edited and the complete video that Shi Yan had someone post on the school forum.
Jiang che finished reading it calmly.
At least, in Jiang Lin’s opinion, Jiang che had always been calm.
His handsome face was still gentle and reserved, and no emotions could be seen, but Jiang Lin’s heart was in his mouth.
fifth lord rarely got angry, and every time he did, the consequences would be very serious.
Moreover, the angrier fifth Lord was, the more gentle and calm he looked.
not to mention fifth lord, even he was furious when he saw the video.
That girl called Xuan wanrou had actually thought of getting some hooligans to ruin miss Shi Yan’s life!
How old was this girl, and she was already so vicious!
“Deal with it, don’t let Yanyan’s identity be exposed. Since Yanyan wants to make this matter big, then help her. Also, make some preparations. We’ll be leaving in an hour.”
Jiang Lin wanted to say that there was no need for Lord fifth to personally deal with such a minor character. He could just get someone to make a trip there. However, when he thought about it, it involved Shi Yan, so he shut up.
It was not the first time that Lord fifth had made an exception for miss Shi Yan.
For example, in the past, fifth Lord didn’t even come out of Bamboo garden’s main door much.
ever since he met miss shi yan, the number of times fifth master went out in a year could be counted with one hand, but now he went out more often. he didn’t even use the wheelchair that he used to use as a means of transportation.
It was clear how much miss Shi Yan meant to fifth Lord.
Jiang Lin acknowledged and went to prepare.
Half an hour after Jiang che finished his dinner, the car left Bamboo Garden.
When Xuan wanrou returned to the Qian family, she was beaten up by Qian Ming and slapped twice by Liu Yufen. She had escaped from the Qian family.
She was furious.
He also started to regret it.
she thought that if she had not broken off her relationship with xuan liuying, she would not have been beaten at all and might have even become an upper-class lady.
she ran out of the neighborhood and sat in a park not far away. she took out her phone and began to search for information about the yu family in haicheng.
