Jiang Can stood frozen in place, her body trembling slightly.
After a long pause, she uttered three words with a sharp edge: "Impossible."
Jiang Yao's expression froze.
Jiang Can's gaze was sharp as he stared intently at her. "This is our house, a gift from Dad to Mom! We've lived here for many years; this is our home!"
"Ha, you still have the nerve to mention that?" A sinister smile flashed across Jiang Yao's face as she shrieked, "What kind of person is your mother, that shameless old hag? Does she deserve to have my dad give her a house?"
"Your father only let you stay here temporarily because he felt sorry for you! Even if we take a step back, your mother at least served your father and gave birth to you, you little slut, but what is he anyway!"
Jiang Yao pointed at Yin Cheng's nose and cursed fiercely, "What right does a bastard of unknown origin have to live in our Jiang family's house!"
Yin Cheng was already very proud, and this distorted family relationship often made him feel ashamed among his classmates.
At this moment, Jiang Yao deliberately poked at his most painful spot, and all the emotions he had accumulated exploded at this moment.
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
He glared at Jiang Yao, clenched his fists, veins bulging on his arms, and raised his hand to punch her.
Fearing he would cause trouble, Jiang Can hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. Jiang Yao was startled at first and took a few steps back. Seeing that Jiang Can and Yin Cheng couldn't really hit her, she became even more arrogant.
"Which of my words were false? Not a single one of you in this room is any good! You're all more despicable than the last!"
"Jiang Yao, don't go too far!"
"I told you so, so what?" Jiang Yao stepped forward and shoved Jiang Can. "You little bitch, take your bastard brother and get out of the Jiang family's house!"
Jiang Can protected Yin Cheng while also fending off Jiang Yao.
However, Jiang Yao was quite fierce and didn't hold back at all. She scratched Jiang Can's arm several times, leaving bloody marks on Jiang Can's fair skin.
She cried out in pain and stepped back, but accidentally lost her footing and tumbled down the stairs!
At the critical moment, a force suddenly wrapped around her from behind. She was startled, then landed steadily in that strong embrace.
"Are you alright?" Gu Mang asked, looking at her with concern.
Jiang Can's lips twitched twice, a mixture of grievance, anger, and panic welling up in her eyes. She bit her lip, unsure what to say, and clung to Gu Mang's neck like a lifeline, calling out in a trembling voice, "Husband..."
Gu Mang patted her shoulder and chuckled at her, then his expression changed, and his piercing gaze swept over everyone present.
"What happened?"
This was the first time Jiang Yao had met Gu Mang in person.
That was close! She almost married that scoundrel!
However, as she looked him up and down, she saw that the man was tall and handsome, exuding a powerful aura and masculine vigor. His imposing presence was like that of a noble emperor from ancient times.
Jiang Yao paused for a moment, then smiled dismissively.
What's the use of being good-looking? You still end up fighting, going to jail, and being penniless!
"Oh, so you're Gu Mang?" Jiang Yao's eyes flashed with sarcasm. "Your good-for-nothing husband, Jiang Can?"
Gu Mang's face darkened.
“Your presence won’t make any difference,” Jiang Yao continued. “This is a family matter for the Jiang family. My father wants to take back this house, and I’ve come today to order them to move out!”
"Move?" Gu Mang sneered. "Why should we?"
“Because I’m my father’s daughter,” Jiang Yao glanced at him sideways, “I’m the eldest daughter of the Jiang family!”
Jiang Can's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly went to pull Gu Mang away.
Gu Mang turned to look at her, his expression gentle, his gaze firm, and a faint smile playing on his lips.
She froze, her whole body trembling with nervousness.
Jiang Yao keenly observed this.
"Heh, what's wrong?" Jiang Yao deliberately pinched her voice. "Gu Mang, looking at your silly face, you probably don't know who you married, do you?"
"Jiang Yao!" Jiang Can couldn't help but glare at her fiercely.
"What? You won't let me tell? My dear sister, you've been impersonating me for the past six months, and you still won't let your husband know?"
"Shut up!"
"She's our Jiang family's illegitimate daughter!" Jiang Yao said smugly. "Her mother is a shameless slut! She seduced my father to give birth to her, and then seduced another man to give birth to that little bastard Yin Cheng! Now she's mentally ill and lying in the hospital, completely out of her mind!"
Jiang Can was in despair, covering her ears tightly, "Stop talking!"
"Do you know why she married you? It was for her dowry, to get money from my dad to pay for her mother's medical treatment!"
"Jiang Yao, you bastard—"
Jiang Can screamed in a fit of rage.
Her eyes were red and her pale face was full of despair. At that moment, she felt as if she had been stripped naked and stood in front of everyone, and the secret she had painstakingly guarded was exposed by Jiang Yao in just a few words.
Jiang Can was both embarrassed and angry, and rushed forward to push Jiang Yao hard.
Jiang Yao staggered and almost fell, then flew into a rage. She grabbed a vase and threw it at Jiang Can, yelling, "You bitch, how dare you lay a hand on me!"
However, before the vase could fall, her wrist was grabbed tightly.
Jiang Yao felt as if her wrist was about to be crushed.
"What...what are you doing? Let me go!"
Gu Mang's cold eyes were filled with murderous intent, as if he wanted to tear her to pieces.
