Liang Manzhu's questioning tone made Jiang Wanyan feel cold all over, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her in the coldest days of winter. She was so cold that her teeth were chattering and she couldn't utter a word.

Liang Manzhu grabbed Jiang Wanyan's wrist and said sternly, "Go and explain to the police and ask them to release your father."

"I don't want it," Jiang Wanyan pursed her lips and insisted, "He did something wrong and he must accept the punishment. Mom, you taught me since I was a child that I should be responsible. Are you lying to me?"

Liang Manzhu choked up. Although Jiang Wanyan was raised by a nanny when she was a child, she would inevitably teach Jiang Wanyan some lessons whenever they had the chance to meet.

When Jiang Wanyan brought this up and asked her about it, she couldn't find any words to refute it.

Of course, what she said was true. She hoped Jiang Wanyan would become a kind, strong and responsible person.

"Mom, don't be embarrassed." Jiang Wanyan stared at Liang Manzhu closely. "If I give you a choice, will you choose me or him?"

"How can this be compared..."

Jiang Wanyan interrupted her and asked persistently: "Just answer me, do you choose me or him?"

Liang Manzhu looked at Jiang Wanyan, and Jiang Wanyan looked at her very seriously, as if as long as she said she chose Jiang Xun, Jiang Wanyan would let Jiang Xun go, but at the same time their relationship would also change.

Liang Manzhu calmed down and was no longer angry with Jiang Wanyan. She sighed deeply and said helplessly: "Wanyan, you two are different. I can choose you, but you can't choose him."

Jiang Wanyan didn't understand and asked, "Why would I choose someone who has no feelings for me and only treats me as a tool, just because he is related to me by blood?"

Liang Manzhu spoke, but Jiang Wanyan saw the answer from her eyes.

Yes, Liang Manzhu didn't let Jiang Wanyan and Jiang Xun become enemies simply because Jiang Xun was his father.

Even knowing Liang Manzhu's answer, Jiang Wanyan still couldn't understand. Is blood relationship everything? How many people are actually unworthy of being parents? Is blind filial piety the only right thing to do?

Jiang Wanyan didn't care what Liang Manzhu was thinking. She told Liang Manzhu, "In my eyes, you are the only one who is my family. Jiang Xun is not. He is not worthy."

She took a breath and asked, "Or would you rather I be bullied by the Jiang family all the time? In your heart, am I really not as good as the Jiang family who are so ruthless to you?"

She looked at Liang Manzhu with hurt, and her trust in Liang Manzhu had been cracked at this moment.

Liang Manzhu didn't expect Jiang Wanyan to be so resolute. Jiang Wanyan was determined to sever ties with the Jiang family.

Liang Manzhu knew she only had one chance, and if she said the wrong thing, she might lose her daughter forever.

She loosened her grip on Jiang Wanyan's hand and looked down to see red marks on Jiang Wanyan's wrist. She touched Jiang Wanyan's red skin, closed her eyes, and compromised, saying, "Just do whatever you want."

Jiang Wanyan was stunned. Liang Manzhu didn't continue to persuade her to let Jiang Xun go. She widened her eyes in surprise.

Seeing her like this, Liang Manzhu was glad that she had made the right choice. She accepted that the Jiang family had treated her badly, but since Jiang Xun treated Jiang Wanyan like this, she had no reason to continue pushing Jiang Wanyan into the fire pit.

"But I have conditions."

Jiang Wanyan's smile faded a little, and she asked in a low voice, "What are the conditions?"

Liang Manzhu touched her cheek and said seriously: "It's okay for you to send them to jail, but you can't do anything privately."

Jiang Wanyan found it funny, as they were worried that she would secretly trip them up.

Jiang Wanyan shook her head and said, "If they don't provoke me, I won't bother with them."

"That's good." Liang Manzhu had many things she couldn't say to Jiang Wanyan. It was enough for Jiang Wanyan to promise her not to do anything to the Jiang family.

Liang Manzhu's recent treatment has been effective. She said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. When can I go over to your dessert shop?"

"this……"

Jiang Wanyan stammered, "Wait, wait until I get everything sorted out. Things are a bit chaotic right now."

What dessert shop? She never opened one at all. However, the first album she participated in was a big hit. However, she couldn't tell this to Liang Manzhu, because Liang Manzhu didn't like her to make music.

Liang Manzhu didn't think much about it. Jiang Wanyan had been here for so long, she was a little tired, and yawned and said, "Okay, tell me when you're better."

Jiang Wanyan walked out of the ward. Xi Chenzhu was still waiting at the door. He leaned against the wall and stood up straight when he saw Jiang Wanyan come out.

"You can just send me here, no need to wait for me."

Xi Chenzhu said, "It didn't take long."

Jiang Wanyan looked up at him, pondered for a moment, and said, "Do you remember that I lied to my mom and said I opened a dessert shop and that you invested in it?"

"Remember," Xi Chenzhu saw what she wanted to do and nodded, "If you want to open it, open it."

The matter of opening a dessert shop was finalized. Xi Chenzhu initially wanted to open it with Jiang Wanyan, but Jiang Wanyan felt embarrassed to always take up Xi Chenzhu's time, so she naturally refused.

When Yin You heard that Jiang Wanyan was going to open a dessert shop, he left the bar and went to find Jiang Wanyan early in the morning to discuss how to open the dessert shop.

Jiang Wanyan was at a loss for words. She knew that Yin You liked sweets, but she didn't expect that after so many years, Yin You still liked desserts. In some ways, she was really consistent.

Yin You said disapprovingly, "Can't I have dessert?"

"Sure, you can eat as much as you want," Jiang Wanyan said with a smile, "From now on, you can eat any dessert in the store you want."

If you tell someone that a cool-looking girl actually likes desserts, few people would believe it, just like many people don’t believe that Yin You likes men.

During the time they hadn't met, Yin You stayed in the bar, but unfortunately he still didn't see the man from that day.

Jiang Wanyan wondered why she didn't ask the bar owner or ask someone to help her find someone. With Yin You's connections, it would be easy to find someone.

Yin You, however, refused to use her connections, insisting that she valued fate and that without fate, it would be useless to find someone.

Jiang Wanyan could only let her go. Miss Yin had no shortage of money and time, and she used to hang out in bars often.

Today I won’t sit and wait, I will come directly to help Jiang Wanyan plan to open a dessert shop.

Yin You suggested, "Let's open it in the city center. There's a lot of traffic, so business will be good."

Jiang Wanyan refused, saying, "It's true that there's a lot of traffic, and business is good, but the rent is also expensive."

"I have……"

"I know you have money," Jiang Wanyan interrupted Yin You and said helplessly, "You also said that it was your money. I still have money on hand. I will tell you when I need it."

"Okay," Yin You didn't insist on giving Jiang Wan the money. She thought about it and asked, "How about I come and work in your store?"
