Jiang Sheng's heart skipped a beat.
Although it was expected that You Ran Ju had been offended badly and that the cooperation would be severed, Jiang Sheng still held a glimmer of hope because the two managers from Anshui County and Xieyang County were both quite nice.
Think of those siblings, they went from having nothing to where they are now, from Xieyang County to Anyang Prefecture, and then to Fengjing, their cooperation gradually increased, and their wealth gradually increased as well.
Youranju was the starting point of their business and a testament to their gradual development. Manager Bai from Xiyang County also gave them guidance on many occasions, for which they were deeply grateful.
It's quite sad that everything suddenly stopped.
Jiang Sheng opened her big, round eyes, and for a moment she felt a little lost.
"You...you shouldn't blame me." A hint of reluctance flashed in Jiang Chenghuan's eyes. "If you have to blame someone, blame your brother's mouth."
If you have to blame someone, blame it on the fact that you're so likable that even my only brother admires and praises you.
“It’s not my brother’s fault.” Jiang Sheng came back to her senses and said seriously, “My brother was just trying to protect me. If the business is cut off, it’s cut off. There’s nothing to say.”
But with her business completely shut down, she could no longer be content with the status quo.
We must strive to find new business opportunities. We cannot let the aunties in the workshops go without money, nor can we let the vegetable deliverymen go hungry again without work.
Jiang Sheng clenched her fists, preparing to leave, when she suddenly opened the door and saw a familiar-looking waiter standing outside.
He was thin and bony, but his eyes were full of life. When he looked at me, they were ingratiating, but when he turned his head away, they became serious.
"Ahem." He Rui experienced for the first time what it felt like to have a chicken feather as an imperial edict. "Manager, the boss has spoken. The cooperation must continue and cannot be interrupted."
"Gah?" The head manager was so shocked that he let out a duck-like quack.
Jiang Chenghuan was even more incredulous. "What nonsense are you spouting, you little waiter? Can't my words represent the Jiang family?"
“But you are not the owner,” He Rui said neither humbly nor arrogantly. “You are just an unmarried girl from the Jiang family.”
An unmarried girl has no assets, no power over household affairs, and only a few words of influence. In front of the real boss, she is nothing.
Jiang Chenghuan's face turned deathly pale. He took a few steps back, nearly falling into his chair. "Who said that? Who was it?"
He Rui dared not answer.
"Is it my mother? My brother? Or my grandmother?" Jiang Chenghuan gritted her teeth. "I'm going to ask them why, why."
She left in a hurry, feeling that all the dignity she had tried so hard to uphold these past few days had shattered. Especially when she passed by the door and saw the stunned Jiang Sheng, she felt an overwhelming hatred.
She lived such a happy life, with loving parents, a kind grandmother, and a gentle brother, but suddenly everything changed, and some people said she was a fake.
Her parents were fake, her grandmother was fake, her brother was fake, and all the family affection she had experienced over the past decade was fake.
Panic gripped her, and she impulsively took a car and drove away, hiding in a remote, impoverished area until the end of time.
Unexpectedly, her parents and brother came to her and told her that they would always love and cherish her.
She is their own daughter, undeniably so, there's no faking it.
Back in Fengjing, before she could settle down for long, the nanny who had sent away the real daughter was exposed, confirming her identity as a fake daughter.
Fortunately, her parents remained the same, and her brother continued to favor her. However, her grandmother's insistence on finding the real daughter exacerbated her panic. She knew that everything she had was just a mirage, and she wanted to hold on tightly and prove in every way that she was loved and happy.
If Jiang Sheng's appearance made Jiang Chenghuan realize that her brother would no longer blindly favor her.
That moment in the private room on the third floor of You Ran Ju made Jiang Chenghuan realize completely that what is fake is fake, and will never be as important as blood ties. He will never gain the favor and support of his family.
Inside the carriage, the dignified Miss Jiang broke down in tears once again.
But once she arrived at the Jiang family home, she had to wipe away her tears, regain her composure and grace, and calmly walk into Madam Jiang's courtyard.
Greet each other respectfully and politely.
It wasn't until Madam Jiang gently stroked her hair and asked, "Chenghuan seems to have something on her mind?"
All the pent-up grievances finally burst forth, and Jiang Chenghuan suddenly threw herself into her mother's arms, pouring out all her grievances.
“That day at Youran Residence, my brother pretended to be stupid and let others insult me, but his heart had already strayed.”
"Now I've lost face at Youranju again. Mother, does the Jiang family not want me anymore? Do they despise me?"
Madam Jiang remained silent.
Only after Jiang Chenghuan had completely poured out her grievances did she stroke the girl's stray hairs and absentmindedly say, "Don't be afraid, you will always be the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family."
"The one that's lost can never be found again."
...
Leisure Residence.
Jiang Sheng stared dumbfounded as the Jiang family's young lady hurriedly left, then glanced at the quick-witted waiter He Rui, and finally stared at the equally dumbfounded head manager, "What... what exactly happened?"
"It's nothing, the boss just doesn't want personal matters to affect business," He Rui said matter-of-factly.
Actually, it's because Miss Jiang's body is too clean; she doesn't even have a mole, let alone a birthmark, making her extremely difficult to identify.
Madam Jiang could only keep people there temporarily through business dealings, so that she could easily identify the Jiang family lineage.
He Rui really had his fill of taking things too seriously this time.
But he also knew that he was just a junior employee and had to make a living under the head manager. After provoking Miss Jiang, he repeatedly winked at the head manager and pointed to the private room next door.
The head manager then realized what was happening and quickly said, "Then let's continue our cooperation. We're out of cured meat and sausages, so I'll have someone go to the workshop to get some. As for the fine pastries, we'll deliver them tomorrow as we agreed before."
