Chapter 18: Jiang Family, the Road is Still Narrow
Hearing this, Su Tang obediently put his legs down, sat up straight, raised his eyebrows, and looked at Song Wanjun.
Jiang Wan, who was standing by, saw this scene and felt vaguely uneasy. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but her mother's gaze gradually revolved around Su Tang, and her attitude was different from when Su Tang just came back.
"Ma'am, dinner is ready." Aunt Mei walked in and said respectfully.
Hearing this, Jiang Wan asked, "Isn't my father back yet?"
Song Wanjun said: "Your father has an appointment tonight, so we won't wait for him."
"Then let's eat first." Jiang Wan said, subconsciously looking at Su Tang. She saw her with her head down, texting someone. Haha, it's not okay for her to play with her phone, but it's okay for Su Tang to play with it. They are indeed her biological daughter.
At this time, Su Tang was indeed chatting with someone, and this person was none other than her senior brother Wen Shuyan.
Wen Shuyan's recent experiment encountered a bottleneck, but no matter how busy he was, he still took time out of his schedule to send a message to Su Tang, asking her if she had received the birthday dress prepared for her.
Su Tang replied slowly.
--not yet.
——The Jiang family has prepared formal dresses.
The reply came almost instantly.
——It should be soon, probably in the next two days, so keep an eye out.
——By the way, please help me verify the data when you have time. I have sent it to your terminal.
Seeing Wen Shuyan's reply, Su Tang subconsciously wanted to cross her legs again, but she held back and replied to him lacking interest.
--oh.
——We’ll talk about it when we have time.
The other party is typing...
——No, you are free now, go quickly, I have been up for several all-nighters, if you don’t help me, I will die soon.
——Picture jp.
What was sent was Wen Shuyan’s messy hair. No, the most eye-catching thing was his panda eyes.
Since he was constantly in the laboratory, never seeing the sun, his face became even paler like a vampire, wasting his good looks.
Seeing his half-dead look, Su Tang softened her heart and agreed to go and see him later.
At this time, Jiang Wan came out of the dining room and saw that she was still playing with her phone. She rolled her eyes, walked over, and said in a very aggressive tone: "I'm calling you to eat!"
She just didn't understand. Su Tang had the worst grades, so why didn't he care about her but was so strict with himself instead.
Su Tang put away his phone, stood up, glanced at her, brushed past her, and walked straight towards the dining room.
When she walked into the dining room, she saw Song Wanjun already sitting there. When she saw her come in, she gave her a cold look, and then she heard Song Wanjun say to her:
"You should play with your phone less. When you have time, read more books and review the knowledge points taught by the teacher. If you don't understand something, ask Wanwan to teach you. What kind of life are you going to have if you hold a phone in your arms every day?"
Su Tang listened to her words while pulling a chair and sitting down. Aunt Mei, who was waiting behind her, brought her a bowl of rice and asked, "Miss Atang, would you like some milk or juice?"
"Milk." Su Tang said to her, and then looked at Song Wanjun, "You can worry less about my affairs, and worry more about Jiang Wan when you have time. Besides, I am just an adopted daughter of the Jiang family. The Jiang family does not need me to bring honor to the family, right?"
From the moment the Jiang family decided to announce to the public that she was an adopted daughter, it was destined that the Jiang family would not receive any help from her.
I guess Jiang Shuming thought the same way.
After all, in their eyes, she was just an uneducated girl who had been hanging around in the streets since childhood. No matter how hard she tried, she would not achieve much in her life.
They may even feel that they should be grateful to them. After all, even if they are mediocre in their lives, with the Jiang family around, they will not have to worry about food and clothing.
Su Tang didn’t know whether her guess was right or not, but at least, judging from Song Wanjun’s attitude so far, it was indeed the case.
Of course, Su Tang also felt that he would not fall to the point where he had to rely on the shares given by Jiang's to support himself.
With her current wealth, she has surpassed so many Jiang families by far. Even if she retires now, it will be enough for her to live on in her old age.
So no matter what the Jiang family decides, she doesn't care and doesn't want to find out.
It's time-consuming and stressful.
When Song Wanjun heard her words, she was suddenly unhappy and even felt that she was complaining about their decision.
"In the final analysis, you still care about our announcement that you are an adopted daughter. Su Tang, you should know that you grew up in the countryside and don't know anything. Instead, you are full of street smarts. Think about it, as a daughter of the Jiang family, are you capable of shouldering the responsibilities that a daughter of the Jiang family should have?"
Su Tang looked at her and smiled, "How do you know I can't afford it?" She didn't even try, but she made a conclusion so early. She really wanted to know what the Jiang family relied on to gain a foothold in Haicheng.
Just like a sentence she saw recently, she thought it was quite profound: you cannot grill meat on one side and you cannot judge a person by his appearance.
All I can say is that the Jiang family has narrowed their path.
Song Wanjun said while eating, "Do you still need to see this? Look at what you have done since you returned to the Jiang family. Have you ever thought about working hard?"
She either plays with her phone or plays games every day. How can she expect to change?
Just be thankful that you didn't go astray.
"Ha! That's right." Su Tang chuckled.
I don’t know if there is any sarcasm in her laughter.
Jiang Wan kept her head down while eating, but she felt mixed emotions in her heart. As expected, her mother really started to care about Su Tang. Was she going to fall out of favor?
No, absolutely not.
Thinking of this, her drooped eyes dimmed, Su Tang, don't blame me, you forced me to do this.
From the moment you came back, we were destined to be enemies forever.
If it weren't for you, I would still be the daughter of the Jiang family who has everything.
But as soon as you came back, no matter how my parents said that I would always be the daughter of the Jiang family, people’s hearts are biased and they have begun to care about you.
Su Tang didn’t know what she was thinking. Of course, she didn’t need to know, and she didn’t want to guess.
The Jiang family was just an unexpected episode to her.
"I'm done." She stood up, turned around and left.
After Su Tang left, Song Wanjun's face was still cold. She looked at Jiang Wan and urged him, "Hurry up and do your homework after you finish eating. By the way, I've signed you up for a cram school. You can go there after your birthday. You still have room to work hard. Try to get into a better university."
"Mom, don't worry. I know I will work hard to get into a good university. Didn't Dad tell me that I will help my brother manage the company in the future, so I have to work hard."
"Well, it's good for you to know."
"Then mom, will Atang also go to the cram school?" Jiang Wan asked.
"Why should she go? Given her situation, it would be a waste of time for her to go. She probably wouldn't understand what the teacher says. Don't worry about her. Just let your mother worry about it." Song Wanjun said, rubbing her eyebrows.
Jiang Wan said gloomily, "Okay."
