Jiang Qiaoqiao lived a glorious life, only to be killed by her own mother and adopted daughter on her fortieth birthday. Her three brothers helped dismember and bury her remains.
When she ope...
"Uncle Jiang, Aunt Peng, Comrade Jiang, dinner is ready."
After all the food was served, when Luo Yingzi came to call the Jiang family, she blushed so deeply that her face turned red all the way to the roots of her neck.
Although Huo Beixiao didn't speak to Jiang Qiaoqiao just now, the two had exchanged glances.
He had already figured out Jiang Qiaoqiao's plan.
At this moment, with a serious face, he teased Luo Yingzi, saying, "Our Yingzi has grown into a young lady and knows how to be shy now."
Luo Yingzi blushed even more instantly, gave Huo Beixiao a reproachful look, and stomped her foot, "Brother Beixiao, please stop teasing me."
As Luo Yingzi spoke, she kept glancing at Jiang Yong'an out of the corner of her eye.
Jiang Yong'an just stared outside, looking anxious and restless.
Even though Luo Yingzi still had a good impression of Jiang Yong'an, she noticed something was off about him at this moment. "Comrade Jiang, is something you're busy with? If you're busy, perhaps..."
Before Luo Yingzi could finish speaking, Peng Cuiying quickly chimed in, "It's alright, Xiao Luo, Yong'an has nothing to do. He specifically asked the factory for leave this afternoon."
After you finish eating, you two can go for a walk, and then we can head back into the city later.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yingzi's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head even further.
She clearly appeared shy but willing to go for a walk with Jiang Yong'an.
Jiang Qiaoqiao then spoke up: "Mom, Third Brother is probably worried that Ranran will go hungry if she's home alone."
My third brother is so good to Ranran. We're both sisters, and I'm so envious of Ranran. When I'm setting up my stall at the market, I hear people who don't know the situation say that Ranran and my third brother are a couple, and they even praise him as a good husband!
As Jiang Qiaoqiao spoke, a look of envy appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Since Jiang Jiahua is so eager to treat her like a daughter, she doesn't mind temporarily accepting this identity.
Upon hearing Jiang Qiaoqiao's words, Peng Cuiying's expression instantly changed.
Having a good relationship between siblings might make the in-laws feel that their family is harmonious.
However, if the relationship becomes too close, it will make the future in-laws uncomfortable. After all, no one wants their daughter to suffer from her husband's favoritism towards his sister-in-law after she marries into his family.
Especially since Jiang Yiran isn't their biological daughter, it makes people gossip even more.
Peng Cuiying was still trying to figure out how to smooth things over with Jiang Qiaoqiao when Jiang Yong'an spoke up first: "Mom, let's skip this meal. Ranran is home alone, and she's pregnant. I'm worried about her..."
"Shut up!"
Before Jiang Yong'an could finish speaking, Jiang Jiahua shouted sharply, "What are you worried about? Jiang Yiran is an adult. Do you think she'll starve herself to death?"
Jiang Yong'an had just been severely beaten by Jiang Jiahua. When Jiang Jiahua opened his mouth, he dared not speak again, but the worry on his face did not diminish in the slightest.
Jiang Qiaoqiao sneered inwardly.
She originally thought it would take some effort to expose the true colors of the Jiang family in front of the Luo family.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yong'an was so cooperative, not even hiding his feelings for Jiang Yiran when they came out to meet.
Jiang Jiahua was already explaining to Luo Yong, "My little daughter has been having a fight with her son-in-law lately, so she's coming back to stay for a few days."
"Aren't they siblings close since childhood? My son is worried about his pregnant sister being home alone with no one to take care of her."
"We're siblings, it's only right that we support each other," Luo Yong said dismissively, echoing Jiang Jiahua's words.
"Sigh!" Jiang Qiaoqiao sighed, "In the end, it's still my fault for not growing up at home. Otherwise, my third brother would probably still be thinking about me all the time, right?"
She looked at Jiang Yong'an with anticipation as she spoke.
Jiang Yong'an thought that he had just been put in jail by Jiang Qiaoqiao, and that his Ranran was depressed every day because of that bitch Jiang Qiaoqiao.
He could see that Jiang Qiaoqiao's anger was rising.
Jiang Qiaoqiao is saying this on purpose to disgust him.
He was about to blurt out that even if Jiang Qiaoqiao grew up at home, she wouldn't be as good as Ranran's even one finger.
But before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yong'an gave him a warning look.
He could only glare at Jiang Qiaoqiao resentfully before shutting his mouth obediently.
Jiang Jiahua sighed and said with emotion, "Yes, Qiaoqiao, if you hadn't been switched at birth, how happy our family would have been."
He gets a headache just thinking about Jiang Yiran.
But he can't give up on Jiang Yiran right now.
If he gives up now and Qin Haiyang becomes successful, all his efforts will be in vain.
"Comrade Jiang, was your daughter switched at birth?" Luo Yong asked curiously.
Although it was a bit impolite to say that, he was worried that his daughter would soon be married into another family, so he asked directly without knowing the details of the other family's situation.
Jiang Jiahua naturally didn't want to bring this up, and politely said, "Comrade Luo, let's talk while we eat."
"Okay, okay..." Luo Yong said, inviting the Jiang family to sit down.
Jiang Qiaoqiao was arranged to sit with Luo Yingzi.
As soon as Luo Yingzi sat down next to her, she could already sense Luo Yingzi's awkwardness.
She had only taken two bites of her food when Luo Yingzi lowered her voice and said to her, quite embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were Comrade Jiang's sister..."
Jiang Qiaoqiao said with a smile, "It's okay. He doesn't treat me like a sister either. If you offend me because of him, it doesn't matter."
Besides, he dislikes me. The more you offend me and make things difficult for me, the more he might like you.
Luo Yingzi was taken aback by Jiang Qiaoqiao's words.
Seeing her stunned expression, Jiang Qiaoqiao continued eating without saying anything more.
Out of respect for Huo Beixiao, she told Grandpa Luo everything he had asked.
Whether she can help Luo Yingzi see through Jiang Yong'an's true colors depends on Luo Yingzi herself.
After a moment of stunned silence, Luo Yingzi also silently ate her rice without saying another word, lost in thought.
After finishing her meal, Peng Cuiying noticed that Luo Yingzi's attitude seemed somewhat different from before, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Seeing Luo Yingzi helping to clear the dishes, she quickly stepped forward to help.
At the same time, she pushed Luo Yingzi next to Jiang Yong'an and said, "Oh, Yingzi, Auntie will help your mother with these chores around the house. You young people should go out for a walk after dinner. You and Yong'an should go for a stroll and don't worry about the house."
Luo Yingzi glanced at Jiang Yong'an, her eyes still showing some shyness, but more so deep thought.
She looked at Huo Beixiao and Jiang Qiaoqiao and said, "Brother Beixiao, you haven't been back for a long time. This is the first time your wife has come back with you. Why don't you take her out with us for a walk?"
