Volume 1, Chapter 314: Miss Su, respect yourself!
"I just don't want to let this matter go. I just can't get over it! I actually treated that bastard as my own child, but it turns out that he is my husband's illegitimate child. I will never forgive this even if I die."
Jiang Zhengguo didn't expect that after so many years, even though he had been obedient to her, the resentment in her heart had not diminished in the slightest.
"I admit that I was wrong about that matter. I did not do it properly. I just want this family to be peaceful and quiet."
"If you want this family to be peaceful, you shouldn't have brought that bastard back home and lied to me that he was adopted from an orphanage."
Jiang Zhengguo had indeed thought about not bringing Jiang Che back before, but his mother threatened him that he must bring Jiang Che back. His mother valued bloodline, so she thought of this compromise. Unexpectedly, the truth could not be hidden.
"I have apologized for this many times over the years, and you bring it up every time you are upset. I really don't know what else you want."
"Now that the bastard has grown up, we should stop caring about him and let him fend for himself outside. Don't even think about coming back to inherit the property. The Jiang Group was built by you and me through hard work. The property can only be given to Sui Sui. No one else can claim it."
Jiang Zhengguo said with a grim look in his eyes: "So you are still concerned about Jiang Che taking away the property, and the fact that I cheated you is just a handle for you to grab."
Yang Huirong looked unhappy. After so many years, she couldn't tell what she cared about the most and what made her angry. She got angry just by mentioning Jiang Che.
Jiang Qiansui frowned: "Mom, my brother has never thought about taking our Jiang Group's property."
"How do you know he hasn't thought about our Jiang Group's assets? He is just pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. People like him are more terrifying than Chen Lina and Jiang Di. At least they are open about it, so we can be on guard. People like Jiang Che are the most insidious!"
"Mom, my brother is different from Jiang Di and the others. The Jiang Group's assets are the last thing he cares about. What he cares about is..."
The word "family affection" had not even been uttered when he was interrupted by Yang Huirong.
"Sui Sui, you were fooled by him. He is just too good at pretending. He is quite capable, but he pretends to be a loser. What does he want to do? He just wants you to let down your guard and think that he is not aggressive or threatening, so he pretends to be a loser."
Yang Huirong was aggressive, but Jiang Qiansui was full of guilt.
"Mom, do you know why my brother is such a loser? It's because when he was in the first grade of junior high school, he ranked first in the school and my dad praised him. I felt that he stole my dad's love, so I scolded my brother.
From then on, in order not to steal my limelight, my brother always kept count of his scores. He would stop doing any questions as soon as he got 60 points and leave the rest of the questions blank.
He always wronged himself. He would rather be a good-for-nothing than make me unhappy. I was young and ignorant before, but now I can’t be ignorant anymore. I can’t watch my brother being wronged anymore.”
"That's a nice way to put it. Did he say that to you? No wonder you've been so nice to him recently. It turns out you're feeling guilty. He's such a scheming person. He didn't focus on his studies and didn't do well in his exams, but he still talks about himself as being so noble and morally blackmailing you, and he even says he's not scheming."
Jiang Qiansui didn't expect that her mother's hostility towards her brother was deeper than she imagined.
Jiang Qiansui was about to say something, but her father said, "Forget it, our family is happy.
Just let Jiang Che wander around out there on his own. If he can make a name for himself, that would be the best. If he can't, that's his fate and has nothing to do with the Jiang family."
Jiang Qiansui looked at her father. Although her father seemed to be saying cruel words, she could clearly feel some emotions flickering in his eyes.
…
The next day, Zhan Jia
Of course when Zhan Yanxun returned to the Zhan family, he found Su Mengyu chatting and laughing with his mother in his house.
"Why are you here?"
Zhan Yanxun's tone was very bad, as if he had seen something dirty.
Su Mengyu almost rolled his eyes. Seeing that she was unhappy, did he think she was happy to see him?
But she couldn't lose in terms of aura. Su Mengyu pretended to be calm and elegant, took a sip of tea, slowly put down the teacup, smiled and said, "I'm drinking tea with my aunt."
Su Mengyu raised her eyebrows slightly, with a strong aggressive look in her eyes.
Zhan Yan said with an icy voice, "Drink your tea and get out of here."
"Mrs. Zhan, your mother invited me to have tea. Your hospitality is really not very good."
Su Mengyu didn't want to come at first, but thinking about how Zhan Yanxun threw her into the trash can, she had to avenge herself. Sure enough, when he saw her in their house, he almost exploded with anger before she even did anything.
"Hospitality? It should be enjoyed by guests. You are at best an uninvited guest."
Zhan Yanxun was very arrogant and she was not worthy of his attention at all. Su Mengyu was very angry. She had never been despised like this since she was a child.
Xie Qingyi said with an embarrassed look: "Zhan Yanxun, how can you talk like that? Miss Su is here, so she is a distinguished guest."
Yan Lan also said, "Yan Xun, this Miss Su is the eldest daughter of the Su family in Shangjing. She has a top family background and is a beauty pageant champion. She is a perfect match for you. You two should have a good chat."
Su Mengyu knew that Zhan Yanxun didn't like her, but she deliberately provoked him.
"Zhan Yanxun, did you hear what your mother and sister-in-law said? I have a good family background, high education, and I am a beauty pageant champion. I am more than worthy of you. You should have a good talk with me."
After Su Mengyu finished speaking, he directly reached out to pull Zhan Yanxun, but Zhan Yanxun shook him off as if he had been electrocuted.
"Miss Su, please respect yourself."
Su Mengyu almost died of laughter after hearing this. She just pulled his hand, but he actually asked her to respect herself.
How precious is this thing? The more she doesn't let him touch it, the more she wants to touch it, which makes him so mad!
"It's just holding my hand, do you dislike me so much?"
As soon as Su Mengyu's hand touched Zhan Yanxun's arm, it was knocked away directly. He didn't show any hesitation at all, which was really too disgusting!
Su Mengyu pretended to be sad and said: "Mrs. Zhan can see that your son doesn't like me at all, so I won't try to please him anymore. You can arrange another blind date for him.
Su Mengyu was about to leave when Xie Qingyi quickly stepped forward and pulled Su Mengyu aside, saying, "Miss Su, you can't leave. There is no one in the entire country A with better conditions than you. You are the perfect match for my son!"
Xie Qingyi stepped forward to give Zhan Yanxun a scolding.
