Chapter 429 It's best if there's no malice.

Shu Yu's expression suddenly turned cold, but Jiang Leshan was quick-witted and stopped there, not continuing.

He even slapped his own mouth and said, "Sorry, I just suddenly remembered where I've seen you before. No harm intended."

Shu Yu smiled. "Really? It'd better mean no harm."

Jiang Leshan's expression stiffened. He had already given her a way out, yet this woman still spoke in such a tone; she was truly uncouth.

The atmosphere was a bit tense. Da Ya looked around and pulled Shu Yu out.

Da Ya whispered, "A Yu, don't be angry. Let's not hold it against him. Da Hu has so many classmates here today, let's not make things unpleasant."

Shu Yu rubbed her temples. "I know. As long as he doesn't cause trouble or say anything out of line, I'll just pretend he doesn't exist."

Daya pushed her towards the kitchen, "Okay, okay, let Dahu keep an eye on things in the main room. Let's make some popcorn."

After the two left, Da Hu, who was in the main room, looked at Jiang Leshan with hostility and wariness.

Jiang Leshan didn't take him seriously at all, scoffed coldly, and looked at him with disdain.

When Da Hu was entertaining the other classmates, he got up, grabbed Jiang Huaiwen, and pulled him outside. Standing under the eaves, he whispered, "Huaiwen, what kind of friends do you keep making?"

Jiang Huaiwen looked completely bewildered and reluctantly took a step back. "What are you doing?"

"I'm saying you're willingly degrading yourself. What is the status of our Jiang family, and what is the status of their Lu family?"

Jiang Huaiwen: "What identity? My family sells liquor."

Jiang Leshan choked for a moment, almost unable to hold back her tongue, "What do you mean, selling wine? Our Jiang family is a prominent family in Jiangyuan County. Even though your father separated from us, he's still a member of the Jiang family. And your mother, she's the cousin of a high-ranking official's wife. In the future, she'll be associating with the wives of high-ranking officials and nobles. Your parents are both successful people, but look at you, you're just dragging them down, associating with all sorts of shady characters."

After hearing so much from him, Jiang Huaiwen's bewildered expression became even more pronounced.

But the last sentence made him very unhappy: "Who's being disrespectful? Da Hu is a good person, he takes good care of me."

Jiang Leshan sneered, "What's so good about it? Do you know what kind of people Lu Dahu's sister is? His older sister is divorced. His brother-in-law is gay and likes men. Who knows if Lu Dahu will be influenced by him and become abnormal? You're still getting close to people like that. Be careful that you won't be led astray in the future. I didn't say it directly just now only because of you."

Jiang Huaiwen pursed his lips tightly, shook off Jiang Leshan's hand, and said, "You're the one who's not normal."

He then went back into the main room.

Jiang Leshan grabbed him, "Are you not understanding what I'm saying? Let me tell you, don't make friends with just anyone, they..."

"I don't need your help. My friends are all great."

Jiang Huaiwen was extremely annoyed. This cousin had bullied him before, and now he was trying to control him. He was the one who was abnormal; everything about him was abnormal.

He ignored Jiang Leshan and quickly ran back to the main room.

Jiang Leshan stood there and spat, "You ungrateful wretch! If my dad hadn't told me to get on your good side, who would want to talk to you? You stupid thing."

That's what he said, but when he entered the main room, his expression became nonchalant again.
