0085 Slap
"Mom, Dad's home!"
Jiang Jifan was washing dishes in the kitchen when he heard this. He stopped washing the dishes and rushed out.
"Dad, did you go out drinking again?" Jiang Mingting frowned in disgust when he smelled the strong smell of alcohol on him.
The man knelt down and hugged the little girl, affectionately flicking her nose with his finger, and chuckled, "How did you manage to smell it again, you little rascal..."
"Jiang Jiping!"
Jiang Jifan stormed out of the living room, glaring at him with a fierce but weak expression, and said, "You still have the nerve to come back?"
When Jiang Jiping saw her, his originally gentle expression immediately turned cold.
"Tingting, go back to your room and play by yourself. Daddy and Auntie need to talk for a bit." He patted the little girl's shoulder and said gently.
After Jiang Mingting returned to his room, he leisurely poured himself a glass of water and drank it. Without looking at her, he asked with his back to her, "When did you get back?"
"Mind your own business!" Jiang Jifan had never been kind to him, and ever since that incident, his disgust for him had only intensified.
"Where's my money? Where did you take all my money?"
"Jiang Jiping, how can you be so disgusting? You even steal my money. Is there no one in this world you would do that to?"
Yu Diandian wiped the washed dishes clean and put them away. She took off her apron and came out. Seeing her husband and sister-in-law facing off, she didn't dare to say a word and stood weakly to the side, helpless.
Just then, Jiang Jiping glanced at her. Even though he didn't say anything, she couldn't help but shiver.
Jiang Jiping lowered his gaze and withdrew it from his good-for-nothing wife, as if he hadn't heard the harsh words Jiang Jifan had said. He put down his cup, turned around, and said, "Give me some time, I'll pay you back."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jifan laughed, stepped forward, and said contemptuously, "You? A worthless wretch like you, what right do you have to return my money?"
"That's not two hundred dollars, it's over two million!"
Yu Diandian was shocked that he was so bold as to embezzle more than two million yuan. She turned pale with fright.
Two million is an astronomical figure that she has never seen before.
Jiang Jiping seemed used to her insults and didn't seem to care. Looking at his fierce-looking sister, he said indifferently, just like when he used to tease her as a child, "Jiang Jifan, you look ugly right now."
Jiang Jifan paused, suddenly recalling some deep-seated memories.
When she was little, Jiang Jiping was always the "good older brother" in her memory. She used to love to brag to her other playmates about how good her brother was to her.
The primary school was far from her home. Back then, they had to get up before dawn every day to walk to school. On the way, Jiang Jifan always liked to shirk her responsibilities and be lazy. Halfway there, she would complain that the road was too long and that her legs hurt, refusing to walk any further.
At this time, the tall and long-legged Jiang Jiping would talk to her while consciously bending down so that she could jump onto his back and carry her for the last long stretch of the road.
Then, Jiang Jifan would catch up on the sleep she hadn't had during the day by leaning against his thin but reassuring back.
Everyone says Jiang Jiping is not as good as his sister, but only Jiang Jifan knows that he was the smartest one when they were young.
Back then, whenever Jiang Jiping ranked first in his grade, he would bring back all the snacks that the teachers rewarded him with to eat. He would also give her the best food first whenever he had something good. You could say that he pampered her even more than Yao Man did.
It is said that the eldest brother is like a father, and Jiang Jifan felt all the fatherly love that he lost in his childhood through him.
Unfortunately, everything changed when I grew up.
"So what?" She looked at him with exasperation, then angrily slapped him and yelled, "Jiang Jiping, can't you be a little more righteous?! Why don't you learn the good things, but instead learn all the bad things from that dead man!"
Jiang Jifan grabbed his collar, his face contorted with rage, and demanded, "Do you know how long it took me to save up that money? How dare you steal my things without saying a word!"
"What did you do with all my money? Are you going to do what that dead man Jiang Qiyuan did and take it all..."
With a "snap," her voice came to an abrupt end.
"Ah!" Yu Diandian, who was standing to the side, covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise.
She never expected the brother and sister to fight, and she hurriedly stepped forward to help Jiang Jifan, who had fallen to the ground, up.
Jiang Jiping glanced at his trembling palms held at his side, pursed his lips, and forcefully pulled back his right foot that had subconsciously stepped forward.
He was already in a bad mood today, and Jiang Jifan's words just now made him extremely angry. Under the influence of alcohol, he accidentally went too far.
