"Oh, it's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! Second brother, we haven't seen each other for so long. You've been away for so long and you haven't even asked about how I'm doing at home. I've had a hard time in the village these past few years, and now I can't make ends meet anymore, so I had no choice but to bring my whole family to you." The eldest daughter of the Guan family said this while looking at Jiang Huashu. After so many years, she hadn't even said hello to Professor Dong. It was obvious that she didn't treat Dong Xiaomai as a human being before.
In the impression of the eldest daughter of the Guan family, Dong Xiaomai, who was timid and only knew how to work obediently since childhood, is long gone. Professor Dong, who changed his core, is not Dong Xiaomai's character. Guan Xiao'e has bet on the wrong horse this time.
Professor Dong felt Guan Xiaoe's pretended friendliness was fake, and he became wary. The more Guan Xiaoe acted like this, the more it showed that there was something wrong behind the matter.
Looking at the look in his wife's eyes, Jiang Huashu understood immediately. He not only thought about what his wife was worried about, but also thought about who might be behind this matter.
Jiang Huashu didn't even smile at Guan Xiao'e. Instead, he spoke to her as if she were a stranger, "Comrade Guan Xiao'e, I don't know why you came to my house, but you and I are not related at all. Relatively speaking, you and I are enemies. It was your father who stole me from my mother's arms and abused me as a child. Your father was a spy who murdered many innocent people. So, may I ask you, what gives you the right to bring your entire family to my house to cause trouble?"
Guan Xiao'e was speechless at Jiang Huashu's sudden and harsh questioning. She had originally thought that relying on the tenuous, almost insignificant bond they shared as children, coupled with her carefully crafted tale of suffering, would move Jiang Huashu and convince him to accept her and her family and let them stay. However, she hadn't expected Jiang Huashu to so directly expose the scars of the past, showing her no mercy at all.
"I...I..." Guan Xiao'e hesitated, unable to utter a complete sentence. She knew in her heart that she had made a wrong bet this time. Dong Xiaomai, now Professor Dong, was no longer the village girl who allowed herself to be bullied.
Jiang Huashu looked at Guan Xiao'e's embarrassment, and his suspicions were confirmed. He knew that Guan Xiao'e's visit this time was definitely not a simple attempt to seek refuge. There must be someone behind the scenes, and this person was likely an enemy of the Jiang family, or someone who was hindering their careers. In short, they wanted to use Guan Xiao'e to cause trouble for him.
"Comrade Guan Xiao'e, I hope you can answer my questions truthfully." Jiang Huashu's voice became more serious. "Who ordered you to come this time? What is your purpose?"
Guan Xiao'e was almost crying because of Jiang Huashu's continuous questioning. She knew that she was really screwed this time, but at this point, she could only grit her teeth and endure, otherwise her efforts would be in vain.
"I... Second brother... How did you become like this? He was the one who did what our father did, and he was punished... Having said that, even if we are not related by blood, the friendship we grew up together is not fake. You can't be so cold to me." Guan Xiao'e finally spoke, her voice trembling. "Second brother, I really had nowhere else to go, so I came to you for help. Don't be like this, second brother."
