Chapter 40: Wealth Borrowed Away
"Breakfast is ready, let's eat." At this time, Zhang Lin came over to change the topic and took Chen Xu's hand to sit next to him.
Jiang Yu quickly sat down on the other side and served her a bowl of soup: "Xiao Xu, have some soup to warm your stomach."
Jiang Wenhai couldn't afford to lose, so he stood up and picked up a piece of chicken for her.
"Xiao Xu, these spareribs are delicious, eat more."
"And these shrimp dumplings are freshly made. Want to try them?"
Seeing that the whole family was surrounding Chen Xu, Ruan Ruoning's eyes flashed with darkness.
The fingertips dug deep into the palm.
How ironic.
Ruoning Ruoning, at the beginning, even her name was chosen after Lingling, hoping that she could be like Lingling in the Jiang family.
But what about the reality?
She has been very cautious over the years and has never been treated like this.
Are biological children still biological children?
Seeing her white fingertips, Jiang Yue frowned and picked up the chopsticks to pick up a big chicken leg for Ruan Ruoning.
"Sister, eat the chicken legs."
He deliberately put emphasis on "sister", and his intention to express his loyalty was obvious.
You are my sister!
They don’t care about you, but I do!
Chen Xu: ...?
Tang Yuqin rolled her eyes speechlessly and picked up a large piece of vegetables with chopsticks.
"Eating can't shut your stinky mouth."
Jiang Yue: "..."
Jiang Xiucheng picked up a piece of fish, and Jiang Yue was a little touched.
Sure enough, dad still cares about him.
The next second, Jiang Xiucheng's cold voice came: "Eat some fish to nourish your brain."
Jiang Yue: "..."
Ahhhhhh!
Not moved at all!
Am I your biological child?
If you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather, but no one tells you that if you have a stepsister, you will become an outsider!
…
After breakfast, everyone sat in the living room.
Jiang Hong took out a box and said, "Xiao Xu, Grandpa heard that all the Xuanshi like to collect jade, so I asked someone to buy a piece for me. Do you think it's okay?"
Chen Xu took it, took a closer look, and was stunned.
The jade has a delicate and lustrous texture without a trace of impurities, and it gleams with a vibrant luster. It is a rare treasure that is rarely seen even in a hundred years.
It's such a big piece, I'm afraid it's worth a lot of money.
Ruan Ruoning's pupils shrank.
Such a good thing, I’m afraid she can’t earn enough even if she plays the piano for her whole life.
She didn't expect that Jiang Hong would give it to her just as he said.
Jiang Xiucheng then took out his bank card and handed it over: "Second Uncle doesn't know what you like, so just use this card to buy something you like. If it's not enough, Second Uncle will give you more."
Chen Xu glanced at Zhang Lin, knowing it was a token of their appreciation, and accepted it obediently: "Thank you."
Ruan Ruoning's face was expressionless, and her fingers hidden in her sleeves were almost digging into her flesh.
The emotions that had been aggrieved for a day completely erupted at this moment.
Why!
These should have belonged to her!
Jealousy and resentment surged up at once.
Why did Chen Xu come back?
Why didn't she die outside?
Even more indignant than Ruan Ruoning was Jiang Yue: "Mom and Dad, you're so unfair! Sister Ruoning is also a daughter of the Jiang family, why don't you prepare one for her too!"
Then whoever comes back, Sister Ruoning's identity is already awkward, and everyone treats her differently. What will Sister Ruoning think?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiucheng's face darkened, his gentle brows suddenly becoming fierce. "Because today we are welcoming Xiaoxu home. There is a difference in priority, so what's wrong with that?"
Besides, Ruan Ruoning has been in the Jiang family for so many years, has anyone ever lacked her for anything?
What benefits and conveniences did she not enjoy as the granddaughter of the Jiang family? What she had gained over the years was no more than a bracelet and a card.
How can it be unfair?
Tang Yuqin's smile also faded a little: "Chen Xu has just been found, and we want to care for her more. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yue's expression froze for a second.
It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong.
Could it be that he was really wrong?
Seeing his silly look, Jiang Xiucheng and Tang Yuqin sighed helplessly.
The two of them basically let their children go. Jiang Yue and Ruan Ruoning grew up together, so it was nothing to be close to each other. They would not force Jiang Yue to have a deep brotherly relationship with Shen Xu... But
"You're already this old, you should have some brains of your own, right?"
Jiang Yue: "..."
So, after all, you still want to call him brainless?
After beating her son, Tang Yuqin raised her eyes, and her gaze passed over everyone and fell on Ruan Ruoning.
"Ruoning, what do you think?"
Ruan Ruoning's expression froze for a second, then she tried to look natural and said, "Of course this is as I should do, sister. Welcome home, I..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly met Chen Xu's beautiful face.
Those dark pupils were calm, yet seemed to be able to penetrate everything and see right into her heart.
Ruan Ruoning's voice hardened.
Jiang Hong glanced at her and said, "Xiao Xu hasn't been out since you came back, right? Should I take Xiao Xu to visit the Jiang family?"
Except for the youngest daughter, the old man and the two Jiang brothers bought houses together and broke through the walls, making it look like a huge manor.
In Beijing, where every inch of land is valuable, the fact that the Jiang family can be so willful is enough to show their financial strength.
Jiang Hong: "By the way, Xiaoxu, can you help me check if there are any problems with the feng shui of our house?"
Chen Xu took a closer look.
Although the Jiang family is wealthy, the style of the entire mansion is very restrained and low-key.
The yard has a simple fountain and a lawn, and next to it are flowers and plants planted by Zhang Lin himself. It looks quiet and comfortable.
Feng Shui is actually about flow and change. Among all Feng Shui, the first Feng Shui is actually people.
Blessed people live in blessed places, and blessed places are home to blessed people.
For a kind and blessed person, wherever he lives will become a good place.
Chen Xu nodded and was about to speak when his eyes suddenly paused.
Jiang Hong followed her gaze and saw a bush of peonies.
He wondered, "Xiao Xu, are these peonies violating any feng shui taboos?"
Chen Xu took a look intently, his expression growing colder. "Someone has set up a formation down here, and the Jiang family's wealth is being taken away bit by bit."
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
Even Jiang Xiucheng and his wife looked at each other in bewilderment.
In fact, they respected, understood and supported Chen Xu's career, but they only regarded it as a minor matter.
But after taking a look at it, I really see the problem?
Especially Jiang Yue, his eyes were almost rolling to the sky.
"What kind of wealth and energy is this? It's empty and mysterious. You said it was borrowed, so it's borrowed?"
"Life is not a script. No one will act with you, Master Shen!"
He deliberately emphasized the tone when talking to Master Shen, full of sarcasm.
Ruan Ruoning followed suit weakly, "Yes, sister, everyone just said that no matter what you are like, everyone will accept you. There's no need to rush to prove anything."
