Jiang Songyi widened his eyes and looked at Liao Qianqian, cursing in his heart: This bitch actually dared to slander me in front of my second brother.
Jiang Baichuan's expression turned even uglier. He looked at Liao Qianqian coldly, "Who do you think you are? You think you can talk behind my back? You're just a nobody."
Liao Qianqian's face turned pale instantly. She bit her lip, tears glistening in her eyes, but she forced a smile and said, "Second Young Master, I know I'm of humble status, but I just want to help you. I don't have any other intentions."
Jiang Baichuan ignored her and turned to Jiang Songyi and said, "Songyi, I will not let you off easily for bullying Yuyao. You must reflect on this and never bully her again."
Jiang Songyi gritted his teeth and glared at Jiang Baichuan: "Second brother, you misunderstood, I really didn't bully Yuyao."
Jiang Baichuan looked at her coldly: "I know whether I have bullied you or not. Go back and reflect on your mistakes."
Jiang Songyi was so angry that her face turned green. She glared at Jiang Baichuan and swore in her heart: Jiang Baichuan, just wait, one day I will make you pay.
Seeing Jiang Songyi's anger, Liao Qianqian's eyes flashed with pride. She turned to Jiang Bochuan and said, "Second Young Master, please don't be angry. Songyi was just impulsive and didn't mean it."
Jiang Baichuan looked at Liao Qianqian, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, as if he could pinch a fly to death.
Liao Qianqian smiled brightly and walked happily to Jiang Baichuan, introducing herself, "Second Master Jiang, hello. I'm Liao Qianqian, a friend brought back to the mansion by Jiang Songyi, and also Yuyao's cousin."
Jiang Baichuan frowned slightly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. He looked Liao Qianqian up and down, then sneered, "Jiang Songyi, you have a really good eye. You actually brought such a low-class person back home."
Jiang Songyi's expression suddenly turned ugly upon hearing this. She immediately retorted, "Second brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Qianqian is Yuyao's cousin. How can we in the Jiang Mansion be rude to our guests?"
Jiang Baichuan sneered: "Jiang Songyi, don't you understand? How can someone of this status be qualified to enter our Jiang Mansion?"
When Liao Qianqian heard this, the smile on her face froze. She suppressed her anger and said as calmly as possible, "Second Master Jiang, although I come from a poor family, I have never done anything that would go against my conscience. Sister Yuyao and I are like sisters. She is my only family."
Jiang Baichuan's eyes widened, and he was about to refute, but was interrupted by Jiang Songyi: "Second brother, Qianqian is Yuyao's cousin. This is a fact, and you can't change it. Besides, her character is not something you can judge."
Jiang Baichuan snorted, still with a mocking tone: "So what if she's my cousin? She doesn't look like someone with any future. Jiang Songyi, you really disappoint me more and more."
As Liao Qianqian listened to Jiang Baichuan's words, the smile on her face gradually disappeared. She suppressed her anger and said carefully, "Second Brother Jiang, I know my status is low, but I am not without my merits. I will work hard to be a qualified guest of the Jiang Mansion and not cause you any trouble."
Jiang Baichuan glared at Liao Qianqian and was about to speak when Jiang Songyi spoke first, "Second brother, you're going too far. Although Qianqian is Yuyao's cousin, she's also the daughter of the Liao family from Xinghua Village. Do you know Xinghua Village? The villagers there are simple and kind, and Qianqian is one of them, too."
Jiang Baichuan looked at Jiang Songyi with contempt: "Jiang Songyi, why are you defending her? I'm just telling the truth. Look at her, how can she look like a well-educated woman?"
Liao Qianqian's face turned pale. She bit her lips tightly, trying hard to control her emotions.
Jiang Baichuan glared at Jiang Songyi angrily and threatened, "If you dare to say anything more, I will throw you back to Xinghua Village and leave you to fend for yourself in that remote place!"
Jiang Songyi sneered at this, a hint of sarcasm flashing through his eyes. "Second brother, do you think threatening me will scare me? Your embarrassing appearance in the casino today made everyone in the city laugh. If I go back to Xinghua Village, I can have some peace and quiet."
Jiang Baichuan's face instantly turned ashen, and he was seething with rage. He clenched his fists and glared at Jiang Songyi, "Jiang Songyi, you're courting death! I lost money at the gambling house because I was careless, but you're still a daughter of the Jiang family. How dare you snatch my sister's engagement? You're ruining the Jiang family's reputation!"
Jiang Songyi smiled lightly, his eyes revealing disdain. "Second brother, you're wrong. I haven't ruined the Jiang family's reputation. On the contrary, I'm bringing honor to the Jiang family. That engagement shouldn't have been with Jiang Yuyao. She's not worthy of that man. And I, at least, am still qualified to be his match."
Jiang Baichuan was so angry that he was shaking all over. He approached Jiang Songyi and gritted his teeth: "You dare to say that again!"
Jiang Songyi remained unmoved and looked at Jiang Baichuan indifferently: "I said, that engagement shouldn't have been Jiang Yuyao's in the first place. If she really wants it, then let her fight for it herself. However, I advise her to give up on this idea. She's not qualified at all."
Jiang Baichuan was furious and raised his hand, wanting to slap Jiang Songyi. However, Jiang Songyi dodged swiftly, a contemptuous smile on his face: "Second brother, you can't hit me."
Jiang Bochuan's hand stopped in mid-air. He stared at Jiang Songyi, his eyes flashing with anger and resentment. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
Jiang Songyi looked at Jiang Baichuan with a sullen expression. She said in a deep voice, "Jiang Yuyao is just a bastard. How can she be worthy of the Fourth Prince? The engagement originally belonged to me. It should be returned to its original owner. If she refuses to return it, then why not take it back myself?"
Jiang Baichuan stood there in a daze, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, but he didn't know how to answer. He looked at Jiang Songyi, only to see her eyes were firm and her expression was cold and arrogant, as if everything was under her control.
Seeing Jiang Baichuan remain silent, Jiang Songyi couldn't help but sneer inwardly. She raised her voice and continued, "Second brother, have you forgotten? The identity of the Yongding Marquis's daughter originally belonged to me. Jiang Yuyao is just an imposter. How dare she compete with me for it?"
The corners of Jiang Baichuan's mouth twitched slightly. He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't open his mouth.
"Brother, you know what? I've thought about this countless times in my mind. How wonderful it would be if I could just say it all out loud." Jiang Songyi's eyes flashed with enthusiasm as she continued, "Now that I've finally spoken it out, I feel incredibly relieved."
Jiang Baichuan frowned, and he finally said, "Songyi, do you know what you are saying? If you do this, it will only put the entire Jiang Mansion in trouble."
Jiang Songyi chuckled disdainfully and said, "Dilemma? Second brother, you're wrong. I'm doing this to help the Jiang family out of their predicament. That bastard Jiang Yuyao is not worthy of the Fourth Prince. If she becomes his consort, it will only damage the Jiang family's reputation."
Jiang Baichuan was silent for a moment. He looked at Jiang Songyi, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes. He said, "Songyi, I know the pain in your heart. But you must understand that the honor of the Jiang family and the face of the family are far more important than personal selfishness. If you insist on doing this, it will only put all of us in trouble."
