“I’ll soothe the child, you go and pull him away,” Jiang Guofu said to Shen Mingzhi.

Shen Mingzhi quickly walked to Jiang Shaozhen's side and grabbed his arm. "What's wrong with you? Why are you so angry?"

Jiang Yinyin's words were harsh, but she didn't expect Jiang Shaochen to lose his temper so badly.

Wang Xinian stood to the side, watching Jiang Yinyin sober up, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

Wang's wife was also terrified, but she quickly patted Jiang Qing's chest to reassure him.

Jiang Shaozhen took a deep breath, looked at Jiang Yinyin who was trembling with fear on the ground, her face pale, and said in a cold tone, "Ever since you came back three days ago, you've been making things difficult for me. I've put up with you for a long time."

"I don't have a sister as reckless as you. Get out of here now, and you don't need to eat New Year's Eve dinner!" Jiang Shao Chen's temples were bulging with veins, and his face was extremely cold.

Jiang Yinyin looked at Jiang Qing, "Mom, I was just drunk..."

Jiang Qing dared not speak up for her.

Jiang Shao Chen was already unwilling for her to come back, and now that she's pleading for him, he's going to kick her out too!

Moreover, Jiang Yinyin's words were too harsh... Zhouzhou and Niannian are so similar to him; everyone knows the children are his.

But she keeps calling him a bastard; which man could tolerate that?

"What have you been learning in the past six months?!" Jiang Guofu questioned her.

Jiang Shaozhen wiped the wine off his face, then turned around and hugged Zhouzhou, who was crying loudly in Jiang Guofu's arms.

"Don't cry, baby, don't cry." Patting Zhouzhou's back, Jiang Shaochen's tone was incredibly gentle and doting.

Shen Mingzhi glanced at Jiang Yinyin with a cold expression, then returned to her seat.

Seeing Niannian staring at them with wide eyes, her black pearl-like eyes full of curiosity, she said to Jiang Shaozhen beside her, "Look at your daughter, she'll probably be a girl who loves to join in the fun and isn't afraid of anything."

Jiang Shaochen looked at Niannian.

He was charmed by her cuteness, and his eyes crinkled with laughter. "Niannian will be just like you in the future, unafraid of trouble, and with the temperament to do great things!"

Seeing that he was no longer angry, Shen Mingzhi said, "Let's eat, or it will get cold."

Jiang Shao Chen grunted in response, then looked coldly at Jiang Yin Yin, who was still sitting on the ground silently shedding tears. "From now on, I, Jiang Shao Chen, have nothing to do with you. Go wherever you want, but don't hang around in front of me!"

"Second brother..." Jiang Yinyin cried out, "I was wrong, I didn't mean to."

"People speak the truth when they're drunk. I bet you've been thinking this all these past six months at the Party School. It's good that you said it tonight because you're drunk. I don't have to put up with you anymore, and your sister-in-law doesn't have to give in to you. If we ever hear you say that again, my husband and I will tear your mouth apart!" Jiang Shaozhen had already thought it through. If she didn't cause trouble tonight, he would have let it go.

Since she's so disappointing, there's no point in blaming him.

It's just one less relative, right?

He was already married; Shen Mingzhi was his wife, the person he loved to the core.

If Jiang Yinyin had shown him respect even once, he wouldn't have decided to sever ties with this younger sister tonight.

"Second brother, I really didn't mean it, please don't be angry!" Jiang Yinyin realized that he didn't recognize her anymore, and cried as she went forward to grab his trouser leg.

Jiang Shaozhen looked disgusted. "Can you get lost?! What does my family's New Year's Eve dinner have to do with you? Get out!"

After he finished speaking, he handed Zhouzhou to Shen Mingzhi.

He grabbed Jiang Yinyin from the ground, pulled her by the collar, and dragged her outside.

Jiang Yinyin burst into tears, crying, "Mom! Mom, please help me talk to my brother!"

"Anyone who tries to persuade her should get out of here with her!" Jiang Shaozhen said sternly.

Seeing Jiang Qing crying and unable to speak, Jiang Yinyin broke free from him, ran to Shen Mingzhi, grabbed her sleeve and said, "I was wrong, sister-in-law, I was wrong, please don't let my brother leave me!"

Shen Mingzhi held Zhouzhou, unmoved.

She's not a saint. If she's still soft-hearted after being insulted like that, then she's just pathetic.

Seeing that she was being ignored, Jiang Yinyin's second brother grabbed her arm. In a panic, she immediately knelt on the ground. "I was wrong, I won't say anything more, please don't send me away! Don't send me away now!"

"Sister-in-law, I was wrong!" Jiang Yinyin cried as she grabbed Shen Mingzhi's arm.

Shen Mingzhi couldn't eat, so she had to put down her chopsticks.

"Shao Chen..." Jiang Guofu began, "Dad didn't ask you for anything, just let her have a family reunion dinner, and let her go back to the villa tomorrow, okay?"

"You called my child a bastard, and I still let her have the family reunion dinner?! Get out!" Jiang Shaozhen said angrily.

Jiang Guofu looked at Jiang Yinyin, who was crying with snot and tears streaming down her face, and finally sighed, "Don't disturb Shao Chen's family's meal, hurry up and leave!"

Seeing the hint in his eyes, Jiang Qing had no choice but to stand up, leaning on the table, and walk to Jiang Yinyin's side. "I'll take you back."

Jiang Yinyin knew there was no way to back down, so she stopped pleading and just kept crying.

She turned around and saw the look of disgust in Jiang Shao Chen's eyes, and her heart ached.

She endured six months of hardship at the Party School… She thought that upon returning, her brother would pamper her as before. She thought that if she threw a tantrum, he would give in…

“Jiang Yinyin, I know you treat your sister-in-law like an outsider who married into my family, but that’s just your opinion. She is both my lover and my family. We are not related by blood, but our child has both of our blood in it. The child can be without its aunt, but it can’t be without its parents.” Jiang Shao Chen will no longer acknowledge Jiang Yinyin as his sister.

She initially made a fuss, and he would have let her leave that night.

But she called the child a bastard and said she didn't need the younger sister anymore.

"Second brother..."

“From now on, I am no longer your second brother. Only outsiders, and those who hate me, would call my daughter and son bastards. Let me tell you, the reason I didn’t kill you tonight is not because of any blood relation between us, but because my child cannot have a father who breaks the law.” After saying this, Jiang Shaozhen walked over and sat down next to Shen Mingzhi.

Shen Mingzhi put Zhouzhou back in her arms, hoping the child would calm her down.

Jiang Yinyin was led out crying.

Jiang Guofu couldn't eat and sat in his chair sighing.

"If you don't want to eat, then go back with her." Jiang Shao Chen was annoyed and spoke particularly rudely.

"You really don't want Yinyin anymore?" Jiang Guofu didn't expect things to turn out this way, especially during the Chinese New Year.

"I've had this idea for a long time. When I heard that she took Mom to slap Zhizhi, I didn't want this little sister anymore. She's too wicked! Where in the world can you find such a vicious person? She took advantage of my absence to bully my wife who hadn't even finished her postpartum confinement. She's so malicious. I'm worried that if I get involved with her, I'll have endless bad luck in the future!"

Shen Mingzhi was very supportive of Jiang Shaochen's words.

Jiang Yinyin was inherently wicked and malicious.

After six months at the Party School, there was no improvement whatsoever. He even caused trouble during the New Year's Eve dinner, making everyone unhappy.

They lack emotional intelligence and are selfish.
