Chapter 89 The Vicious Jiang Siblings
Xu Xiaomi moved quickly, muttering to herself. Just as she opened the door, she seemed to see a dark shadow fly past her.
What is that?
Xu Xiaomi blinked, somewhat bewildered.
"Honey, slow down. You're not wearing a coat; you'll catch a cold."
Wei Laicheng, who was still in the office, quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly put on the coat that Jiang Xixi had left on the chair.
At this time of year, the temperature in Liaoning Province is no joke.
Fearing that his wife might catch a cold, Wei Laicheng quickly followed her.
Xu Xiaomi was left standing there, looking at the empty office, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.
Turns out she's the joke! They look down on her, this unmarried single dog, don't they?
However, her desire to stand up for her best friend ultimately overcame her displeasure, and in no time, Xu Xiaomi followed him down the street.
...
"Jiang Xixi?" Jiang Yurou stared in disbelief at Jiang Xixi coming down the stairs.
Why is she completely unharmed?
Didn't she already report that to her boss?
As the daughter of a convict, even if she isn't fired, she should at least receive some internal criticism.
Why does Jiang Xixi look so rosy-cheeked, yet still have that infuriating expression?
"What? Are you upset that I wasn't punished?"
In fact, Jiang Xixi was also extremely shocked to see Jiang Yurou's current appearance.
What did this thing eat? How did it suddenly get so fat? But I quickly realized what it was doing.
"I say, Jiang Yurou, you've lived for so long, and your methods are still just as low-level!" Jiang Xixi said meaningfully.
This is how it was in my previous life: seizing every opportunity to ruin my reputation and destroy my business. And it's still the same now.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yurou instantly realized that her plan had failed.
But she still couldn't understand why Jiang Xixi had such a high opinion of her.
She thought her plan was perfect, so how exactly did Jiang Xixi break the deadlock?
"Are you trying to ask me why I'm fine, and why things didn't go as you expected?" Jiang Xixi said with a mocking smile.
Do you really think you're the only smart person in the world?
"Jiang Yurou, to be honest, I owe this all to my parents. When I went to the countryside, I had already cut off all ties with them. They were convicts, what did they have to do with me?"
Before Jiang Yurou could react, Jiang Xixi added another sentence.
"Shouldn't you and Jiang Yuhao be the ones worried? By the way, I remember you told the Wei family that you wanted to bring Jiang Yuhao over to raise with me?"
"Jiang Yurou, don't you find this ridiculous? What makes you think I would take care of a child who has seen me as an enemy since childhood?" After saying that, Jiang Xixi couldn't help but laugh.
"But he is, after all, our younger brother."
It was lunchtime, and many employees had already finished eating and arrived. Although Jiang Xixi and her companion were standing in a relatively secluded corner, everyone unconsciously gathered around because Jiang Xixi was a star figure in the department store.
Seeing the gossipy expressions on the faces of those around her, Jiang Yurou suddenly became delicate, and tears streamed down her face like pearls falling onto a jade plate, which aroused righteous indignation among many of the older women.
"Director Jiang, this is where you're wrong. We're all family. Even if something is wrong, why are you, as the older sister, arguing with your younger brother? The child may not understand, but don't you understand?"
Many people around, unaware of the truth, echoed his sentiments.
“Brother? A brother who treated me like a maid since I was little? Come on, look at this scar, does it look familiar?” Jiang Xixi pulled up her sweater sleeve, revealing a very ugly scar on her forearm.
Jiang Yurou was completely bewildered. What was wrong with this scar? What did it have to do with her?
Jiang Xixi could tell from Jiang Yurou's expression that the woman had completely forgotten about that matter.
Yes, it's time to forget about it. After all, this isn't the only bad thing she's done to herself since she was a child.
"Forgot? Let me help you remember. This scar was from when the water was too cold in the middle of winter. I wanted to heat up some water for you to wash your clothes, but you said I had a princess complex and a servant's body, so you made Jiang Yuhao pour freshly boiled water on my arm, claiming it was to cure my illness!"
Jiang Yurou, do you remember now?
While Jiang Xixi was speaking, she took the opportunity to take a step closer to Jiang Yurou.
As she moved forward and backward, Jiang Yurou's face showed great panic.
Because she remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.
That damned Jiang Xixi, she still remembers things from years ago so clearly, she really is an ingrate.
"I'll never forget that pain," Jiang Xixi said casually, patting Jiang Yurou's shoulder.
"That was because I was young and didn't know any better..."
"You're immature? Oh, that's alright. I have a few scars here that I got after you turned 18. Let's take a look."
Jiang Yurou tried to stop Jiang Xixi, but unfortunately, she couldn't.
As Jiang Xixi recounted each story, the way people around her looked at Jiang Yurou changed.
"Damn, these aren't siblings, they're more like enemies. Don't their parents care? I'm starting to wonder if our Director Jiang isn't even her parents' child."
They're all their own flesh and blood; I simply don't believe they could completely ignore them.
"Oh right, I remember now, isn't this the woman who accused Director Jiang of being unfilial to her parents and spread rumors that Director Jiang seduced her brother-in-law a while ago?"
"That woman is so vicious! Director Jiang, you've really suffered."
Ignore them, we all support you.
Jiang Yurou stared at the scene before her, her expression completely frozen.
That's it, all our secrets have been exposed, we're completely finished now.
Wei Laicheng, who had been standing by and listening for an unknown amount of time, was also feeling extremely distressed.
He knew his wife's parents treated her badly, but he never imagined she had lived such a life since childhood.
Wei Laicheng looked at Jiang Xixi with heartache in his eyes, and when he saw his wife trembling almost imperceptibly, he felt even more remorseful.
What a jerk! He was bringing his wife clothes, and he just left her freezing!
He quickly draped the clothes over Jiang Xixi's body, then took her hand and tenderly stroked the hideous scar.
At first, Jiang Yurou's tears deceived everyone, and they condemned Jiang Xixi on her behalf.
Now that things have reversed, the backlash Jiang Yurou is suffering is quite severe.
Hearing the vile and abusive words around her, Jiang Yurou couldn't help but tear up.
Jiang Xixi, who was standing next to her, was a little surprised to see this.
Normally, Jiang Yurou would have fled in panic in such a situation.
Thinking of something, Jiang Xixi's gaze towards Jiang Yurou revealed a different meaning.
It seems she has big ambitions!
As expected, Jiang Yurou's subsequent actions confirmed Jiang Xixi's guess.
After everyone had vented their anger and left, Jiang Yurou shamelessly approached Jiang Xixi again.
"Xixi, I was confused and sick before, and I did many bad things to you. I apologize to you."
Seeing that Jiang Xixi remained unmoved even after she apologized, Jiang Yurou cursed her inwardly.
But thinking of her true purpose for coming today, Jiang Yurou forced herself to suppress her anger and spoke in a soft tone.
"Xixi, I came here today to ask you if you have ever seen a jade pendant with koi fish carved on it? It was left to me by my grandmother, but I don't know what happened, I can't find it anywhere!"
This is very important to me. Have you seen it before?
As Jiang Yurou spoke, her eyes were fixed on Jiang Xixi's face, as if trying to find some flaw.
