Jiang Wentao's silence has already given the answer.

Jiang Yining snorted in self-deprecation. She had originally held out a glimmer of hope, thinking that it was only Zhao Hong herself who wanted her to transfer the house.

In this moment of silence, Jiang Yining understood what Jiang Wentao meant.

Jiang Yining sat at the desk in front of the window. The street lamp downstairs had been broken for the past few days and no one had repaired it, so the light was flickering.

Just now, the faint light went out completely without any warning.

Jiang Yining looked at the extinguished lights and felt empty inside.

Her mother passed away, and she only had one close relative left in the world. She never cared what Zhao Hong thought, she only cared about her father.

After a while, Jiang Wentao finally said, "Ningning, Daddy has no other choice. Yangyang is your brother, can't you help him?"

"Then ask Jiang Yiyang if he considers me his sister."

Although Jiang Yiyang was still a child, Zhao Hong had instilled in him a lot of words that she was a bad sister.

Now he saw his sister as if she were a bad person.

Jiang Yining didn't care either. She felt sorry for Jiang Yiyang for having such a mother with distorted values.

Jiang Wentao sighed and said nothing more.

"Dad, this house originally belonged to you. I had no objection to transferring the ownership, but Zhao Hong treated me like this, and now you're forcing me to do the same."

Jiang Yining paused for a moment and then directly expressed his thoughts, "I don't want to transfer the house."

After saying that, Jiang Yining hung up the call without waiting for her father to speak.

She got up, closed the windows and curtains, turned on the air conditioner and prepared to go to bed.

I closed my eyes, but my mind was full of thoughts.

As long as Zhao Hong doesn't achieve her goal, she won't have peace. In the past, she endured it again and again for the sake of her father.

Now it seems that she no longer needs to care about this pitiful family affection.

But it takes an opportunity to completely break off relations with them.

The phone next to the pillow lit up.

Jiang Yining picked it up and took a look.

Dad: "Ningning, I'm sorry. I hope you'll reconsider the house transfer. We can't just let Yangyang go to any school. As a teacher, you understand the importance of a good education. As for your blind date, I've told your Aunt Hong that she's not allowed to interfere."

Jiang Yining had just finished reading when he received a new message.

I'll talk to your aunt and ask her to help you find a suitable blind date. You're getting married, and there aren't any suitable boys at school. It wouldn't hurt to get to know a few more people while you're still young.

After reading these two messages, Jiang Yining thought sadly that she was not sure how sincere her father's words were.

Jiang Yiyang has a Lincheng household registration, so he can go to school nearby, in a school near his home. She also studied in this school before.

Asking her to transfer the ownership so that Jiang Yiyang could study was just an excuse made by Zhao Hong.

Jiang Yining closed his eyes before replying, "I have plans. I don't need you to meddle in my affairs. It's late now. Let's talk about it later."

Jiang Wentao didn't send any more messages.

The next day, he sent a message asking Jiang Yining if she would come home for dinner on the weekend. Jiang Yining replied "no" and ignored him.

Jiang Yining made an appointment with the hairstylist recommended by Zhang Qiao.

On the day she got her hair done, she received a call from He Chi's mother. When Jiang Yining saw the call, she didn't know why Teacher Lin called her at this time.

Jiang Yining answered it.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Teacher Lin heard the sound of a car coming from the other end of the phone and realized that Jiang Yining was outside.

She cut to the chase, "Yining, are you free tomorrow at noon? I'd like to invite you to my house for dinner."

Teacher Lin suddenly asked her to come to his house for dinner. Jiang Yining was a little surprised, but she agreed.

He Yuwen saw Lin Shu hang up the phone outside, so he walked into the study and asked, "It's your birthday tomorrow, and our family of three will have dinner at home."
