Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Stunned

Jiang Xi suppressed the urge to curse and explained, "Dad, I'm Jiang Xi. My mother is sick and there's no money at home. Can you give me some money?"

Jiang Haibo glanced at the little girl opposite him who was wearing tattered clothes. When he and Wu Yaqin divorced, Jiang Xi was only five years old. After so many years, Jiang Xi has grown into a big girl, but you can still vaguely see the outline similar to that of a child.

Jiang Haibo's first reaction wasn't joy, but annoyance: "Why are you here? What happened to your mother?"

Jiang Xi said: "My mother is sick, I really have no way. Can you give me some money? No, can you lend me some money?"

Jiang Xi didn't care about anything else and begged Jiang Haibo again and again. Her face and dignity were not as important as her mother's health.

Jiang Haibo glanced around and said indifferently, "Come in first. The noise outside is inappropriate."

Chen Xuemei snorted at Jiang Xi: "Be careful, don't dirty my floor."

Jiang Xi ignored her and followed Jiang Haibo into the room.

The floor is wooden, and the living room is furnished with a sofa, a TV, a refrigerator, and everything else you need.

The dining table was very large, and there were two people sitting at it, a boy and a girl, about the same age as Jiang Xi.

Seeing Jiang Xi come in, both of them raised their heads at the same time, and the girl looked at Jiang Xi with an unfriendly look.

Jiang Haibo introduced Jiang Xi: "This is Shaojie, your brother, and this is Qiaohe, your sister."

Jiang Xi knew these two people. Jiang Qiaohe was the daughter born to Jiang Haibo after he remarried, and Jiang Shaojie was the child brought by Chen Xuemei.

Jiang Xi wasn't here to recognize her brother or sister. Before she could even open her mouth, Jiang Qiaohe yelled, "Dad, what are you talking about? I don't have a sister. Didn't you tell me before that I was the only daughter in the family? Who is she? Why did she suddenly show up and pretend to be my sister?"

Jiang Haibo remained silent. Chen Xuemei said sarcastically, "It was just an introduction. I didn't ask you to take it seriously. It's not a big deal to say a few words. Our door is not open to everyone."

Jiang Qiaohe still pouted a little unhappily: "But mom, I feel uncomfortable when I hear dad say that." It was obvious that she was a little girl who was spoiled by her family.

Jiang Xi then noticed what Jiang Qiaohe was wearing. She was wearing a fashionable cotton-padded jacket that didn't look bulky at all. Jiang Xi guessed that this was the down jacket Xiaoju mentioned.

Jiang Qiaohe has fair skin, small eyes, a round face, and looks a bit plump, but her hair is very black. It can be seen that she is well-nourished, which is why she can have such smooth long hair.

She pouted to express her dissatisfaction, but Chen Xuemei was very patient with her and coaxed her softly, "Qiaoqiao, don't be like this. She'll be gone soon."

Chen Xuemei coaxed her and winked at Jiang Qiaohe. Jiang Qiaohe then became happy and looked at Jiang Xi provocatively.

Although Jiang Xi is about the same age as Jiang Qiaohe, due to their different life experiences, Jiang Xi matures earlier than most people. The jealousy of a little girl like Jiang Qiaohe has no effect on her at all.

Sitting at the innermost seat was Jiang Shaojie. Although he was the son brought by Chen Xuemei, Jiang Haibo was unexpectedly nice to him.

Jiang Xi lowered his eyes to hide the sarcasm in his eyes. Jiang Haibo was really like that. As long as the boy was a boy, even if he was someone else's son, he would still feel extremely distressed.

Unlike Jiang Qiaohe's intense reaction, Jiang Shaojie acted as if he didn't see Jiang Xi. He just glanced at her lightly and continued to eat in silence.

Jiang Xicai saw the food on the table: several large stacks of dumplings, emitting the aroma of meat, and a few stir-fried dishes. Their family only ate dumplings during the Chinese New Year, let alone such a luxurious way of eating dumplings with stir-fried dishes.

Jiang Xi was so hungry that he couldn't help swallowing and his stomach made a rumbling sound.

Jiang Qiaohe laughed out loud: "Oh, where did this beggar come from? He can't even walk when he sees other people's food. How shameful."

Jiang Xi didn't bother to argue with her, she still had important things to do.

Jiang Xi controlled his temper and said to Jiang Haibo, "Please lend me some money. I will definitely pay you back later."

Chen Xuemei exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Little girl, you think it's easy to make money nowadays? What are you going to pay back?"

Jiang Xi ignored her and looked straight at Jiang Haibo with his big eyes.

Jiang Haibo frowned and asked, "How much do you want?"

Jiang Xi calculated: "Ten yuan is enough."

Chen Xuemei exclaimed again in exaggeration, "Ten yuan! You're asking for too much! A pound of flour is only twenty cents these days, and you're asking for ten yuan! That's our family's food money for a month. What kind of illness would need ten yuan? Our family's money isn't blown by the wind. We can have as much as you want."

Jiang Xi begged, "Dad, please, we ran out of rice a while ago, and I borrowed two dollars from someone. Mom is sick and needs medicine, which costs a few dollars. I don't have a job, and Mom doesn't make any money, and she still needs money to eat. Ten dollars is really not much. Please lend it to me, and I will definitely pay you back later..."

Before Jiang Xi could finish, Chen Xuemei interrupted him hastily: "Oh, this little girl is asking for too much. Haibo, you work hard every day to support your family. It's tiring enough, and now there are a group of vampires. If they come asking for money every few days, we won't be able to survive."

Jiang Haibo thought about it and raised his hand: "Okay, I'll give you ten yuan, and you don't have to pay it back, but next time you come, you have to say hello in advance, otherwise it will be very rude."

Jiang Xi understood that Jiang Haibo was warning her. His implication was not that he wanted her to come again next time, but that it would be better for her not to come again.

This just happened to be what Jiang Xi was thinking. Today she was in urgent need of money, so she came to Jiang Haibo for help. She wouldn't do that again in the future.

Jiang Xi secretly made up her mind that she must make a lot of money when she returned and let the family see that she could also let her mother live a good life on her own.

Jiang Haibo said that he would give Jiang Xi ten yuan. Chen Xuemei was unwilling and was about to refuse, but Jiang Haibo gave Chen Xuemei a look, and Chen Xuemei went upstairs reluctantly.

Jiang Qiaohe glared at Jiang Xi fiercely: "Don't ever come to my house again! I hate you! You bumpkin! You stray dog!"

Jiang Shaojie, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up. He stopped Jiang Qiaohe: "Qiaoqiao, how can you talk like that? How can a girl be so foul-mouthed? Don't talk like that in the future."

Jiang Shaojie wore a pair of glasses and looked like a weak scholar. At this moment, he was scolding someone with a stern face and a gloomy expression. Jiang Qiaohe seemed to be very afraid of this brother. After being scolded, she did not dare to talk back and could only shut up reluctantly.

Jiang Haibo was quite happy: "Shaojie is right, Qiaoqiao, you are a girl, you are grown up now, you should pay attention to your words and deeds, and listen to your brother more."

Jiang Xi watched coldly. Jiang Haibo was just as rumored, and he was particularly caring for Jiang Shaojie.

Jiang Shaojie just stopped Jiang Qiaohe from cursing, and then continued to treat Jiang Xi as a transparent person. He turned around and sat on the sofa to read the newspaper.

Chen Xuemei came down from upstairs, her face looking grim. She took out ten yuan and slammed it on the table. "Take the money and leave quickly. Don't come here again if you don't have anything to do. Our family's monthly food budget is gone just by coming here once. We'll have to live frugally and tighten our belts next month."

Jiang Xi didn't even look at Chen Xuemei, and carefully put the money into her bag. She didn't care about the humiliation at the moment, she had more important things to do.

Before closing the door, Jiang Xi heard Chen Xuemei complaining, "What bad luck! A good meal was ruined by an uninvited guest. Haibo, you're just too soft-hearted..."

Jiang Xi didn't listen any further, closed the door and left Jiang's house, but he didn't expect that on the way home...

Recalling everything that happened in the Jiang family in her previous life, Jiang Xi's eyes gradually turned cold. She was too naive at that time. She always thought that even a tiger would not eat its own cubs. She always thought that no matter how cruel Jiang Haibo was, he would not let Wu Yaqin get sick. She didn't expect that she overestimated Jiang Haibo. He was a scumbag. There was no need to be so polite to a scumbag.

Jiang Xi didn't knock on the door this time. She sat leisurely at the door, turned on the loudspeaker, and played the words she had recorded in advance.

"Jiang Haibo, you are an unparalleled scumbag. You abandoned your wife and children. You are so heartless and ruthless. You owe money but don't pay it back. God will strike you with lightning!"

"Jiang Haibo, you are an unparalleled scumbag. You abandoned your wife and children. You are so heartless and ruthless. You owe money but don't pay it back. God will strike you with lightning!"

"Jiang Haibo, you are an unparalleled scumbag. You abandoned your wife and children. You are so heartless and ruthless. You owe money but don't pay it back. God will strike you with lightning!"

…

The sound of the horn was very loud and repeated continuously, causing quite a commotion in an instant. Suddenly, the whole yard was filled with the echoing of this sentence, making it impossible to ignore it.

What's more, this sentence named names and the insults were particularly symmetrical, containing a lot of information, which attracted the surrounding residents to frequently look out of the window.

"What's going on? It sounds like someone is cursing."

"You're cursing quite vigorously, Jiang Haibo, isn't this Deputy Director Jiang?"

"Who is this girl? Why did she suddenly come here to curse people? What is her relationship with Deputy Director Jiang?"

"Dad, come quickly. Don't eat yet. It's going to be a busy day today."

…

Jiang Xi was mentally strong. She completely ignored the prying eyes around her and played the loudspeaker with an expressionless face.

Jiang Haibo and his family were having dinner when they suddenly heard a sound outside the door. When everyone listened carefully, their faces changed.

Jiang Qiaohe put down her chopsticks and said uncertainly, "Dad, someone seems to be scolding you outside, and the scolding is very ugly."

Jiang Haibo naturally heard it as well. He did not respond to Jiang Qiaohe, but stood up suddenly and prepared to go out to check the situation.

Jiang Haibo is the deputy director of the steel plant. He usually pays great attention to building good relationships with people in the unit. He has good interpersonal relationships and does not make enemies with others. Now he was suddenly scolded and his face looked very bad.

He didn't have time to eat. When he went out, he saw a girl sitting at his door, playing music with a loudspeaker.

The sound from the loudspeaker was very loud. Jiang Haibo listened carefully and heard, "Jiang Haibo, you are an unparalleled scum. You abandoned your wife and children. You are so heartless. You owe debts and don't pay them back. God will strike you with lightning!" It was like a devilish sound in his ears. Jiang Haibo almost couldn't help it and was about to go up and smash her loudspeaker.

"What are you doing? What are you putting here? Stop it right now." Jiang Haibo tried to stop him.

Jiang Xi glanced at Jiang Haibo calmly: "What did I play? Didn't you hear it? Why are you asking me even though you already know the answer?"

Jiang Xi raised his eyelids slightly and opened his hands towards Jiang Haibo: "Pay back the money."

Chen Xuemei hurried out of the house: "What are you doing here, little girl? What money are you paying for? Don't think you can blackmail me just because you have some nonsense! I'll call the police to have you arrested!"

Jiang Xi stood up and put his hands on his hips. "Go ahead and call the police! I was afraid you wouldn't call them. It's just the right time to call them and see how Deputy Director Jiang of the steel plant abandoned his wife and children to have an affair with you. He completely ignored his original wife and daughter. What a heartless scumbag he is!"

Chen Xuemei was shaking with anger. "How can you be so vicious, little girl? What are you talking about? Believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart!"

Jiang Haibo sensed something was wrong: "Are you Jiang Xi?"

Jiang Xi raised his head: "Yes, I am Jiang Xi. You recognize me and should know my identity. Then you should know the purpose of my coming. Return the money!"

Chen Xuemei yelled, "What money? Who is she?"

Jiang Haibo said in a deep voice: "She is Wu Yaqin's daughter, Jiang Xi."

Chen Xuemei's eyes changed immediately: "I was wondering why such an uneducated girl came here. So you are that man's daughter. That's not surprising. I thought you were dead."

Jiang Xi glanced at Chen Xuemei coldly: "Watch your mouth, otherwise I don't recommend adding your name."
