Chapter 17: Old Jiang discovers yet another son has been rescued...
But Jiang Zhengye didn't feel better when he woke up the next day at noon.
He discovered that yet another son had been taken away by an ambulance, and after searching the entire villa, he couldn't find Jiang Miaomiao, so he could only roar in frustration.
He drove up to the hospital in a huff, sat down between two beds in room 302 with a gloomy expression, and puffed hard on his cigar.
Without any warning, without any preparation, and without any comfort, the two patients glared angrily at each other: ...You, fucking, motherfucker, still have the nerve to curse? Isn't that woman your eldest daughter, the first one you slept with?!
Jiang Zhengye glanced at the spacious ward and, for some reason, a thought popped into his mind: "It seems like we could add another bed."
He quickly shook his head to get rid of the terrible thought, but then he suddenly remembered: "Was the youngest one home from school today?"
Yes, today is Saturday.
Jiang Miaomiao, who deliberately avoided Jiang Zhengye to go for a run, returned to find the villa full of people.
Servant A was wearing Jiang Zhengye's suit, and cook B was wearing a familiar-looking women's shirt, seemingly the same style as her? And even the same stain on the back? Then the two of them sat awkwardly on the sofa, looking at a middle-aged woman dressed as a teacher opposite them and smiling very unnaturally.
The fourth person on the scene was a cool, rebellious teenager with spiky hair dyed in various colors, wearing a high school uniform.
He stood with his head down, his posture of repentance quite convincing. But when the middle-aged woman wasn't looking, his eyes would dart around, and his hand, hidden behind his back, would frequently slip food into his mouth.
On Saturday, I visited Jiang Jiezhi's home.
As soon as Jiang Miaomiao entered the room, she suddenly remembered that the people in the living room had already noticed her.
Upon seeing Jiang Miaomiao, A and B instantly stood up straight. The word "Young Miss" almost slipped out, but she quickly suppressed it with a look. In just one day and two nights, the servants of the Jiang family were already filled with a deep-seated fear of her.
"...And who is this?" Teacher Ren asked, standing up.
The boy, equally bewildered, pointed at her and asked A and B, "Who is this?"
Hearing his disrespectful tone, Teacher Ren couldn't help but frown and reprimand him: "Jiang Jiezhi, is this how you usually talk to your parents?"
"No, no! Teacher Ren, I have always respected the elderly and cared for the young, and I never cheat anyone." Jiang Jiezhi realized he was still being "visited at home," so he quickly waved his hand, wiped his face, and forced a bright smile, saying, "May I ask who this is?"
Jiang Miaomiao looked at him with suspicion. Logically, he should be a cunning and rude troublemaker!
Driven by curiosity, she went to the living room, shook hands with Teacher Ren, and introduced herself: "Hello, I am his half-sister, and I just returned from the United States the day before yesterday. Is there anything you need to talk to me about? Since my father has failed to raise him well for more than ten years, and an elder sister is like a mother, perhaps I can make a difference now?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jiezhi angrily rushed up to her and said, "To hell with your elder sister who is like a mother to me! I don't even know you!"
Jiang Miaomiao glanced at the restless Jia and Yi, and replied quietly, "Little brother, I don't know 'your dad' or 'your mom' either."
This is a threat!
Jiang Jiezhi understood her subtext. Fearing that Teacher Ren would discover the truth, he immediately hugged Jiang Miaomiao with a smile and asked in a sinister tone in her ear, "What are you trying to do? But I don't care who you are, I'm warning you not to mess around, or you'll be sorry!"
Jiang Miaomiao looked at him and nodded in satisfaction.
This was the Jiang Jiezhi she had heard about.
Jiang Jiezhi mistakenly thought she agreed to cooperate, so he let go of her hand and then pretended to be friendly as he pushed her to sit down on the sofa: "Hello, elder sister, you've worked hard, elder sister, please sit down." Don't ask too many questions, he just wants to get through this home visit as soon as possible to avoid future troubles.
Jiang Miaomiao noticed Jiang Jiezhi's unusual behavior, entirely because of Teacher Ren in front of him. A teacher-student romance? That could be ruled out first, since Teacher Ren was unremarkable; a young man in love wouldn't have feelings for someone like that.
So she tentatively asked, "Teacher Ren, you have a daughter, right?"
Jiang Jiezhi's lips twitched, and he instantly cast a death stare upon Jiang Jiezhi.
Teacher Ren nodded in surprise, but when she thought of her well-behaved and outstanding daughter, a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips: "She studies art at this school."
Jiang Miaomiao glanced at Jiang Jiezhi. No wonder!
She turned to look at the trembling A and B, "Why don't you go ahead and do what you need to do? I'll take care of things here, don't worry about the consequences."
Upon hearing this, servant A and cook B, regardless of Jiang Jiezhi's expression or how he tried to salvage the situation, quickly nodded and said "okay, okay" before leaving.
Ms. Ren was stunned for a moment, becoming even more certain that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the Jiang family. However, Jiang Miaomiao, a graduate of a prestigious university, seemed to have an inherent halo, and her words and actions were much more reliable than those of her parents. So she tentatively tried to communicate with her: "Jiang Jiezhi is actually a very smart student, but his study methods are wrong. I hope you parents will supervise him more in your daily lives, otherwise, he will be a senior in high school next year, and what will happen if his grades continue like this?"
Without hesitation, Jiang Jiezhi replied, "Teacher, getting good grades is just for the purpose of working and earning money, but my family is very rich."
“Teacher Ren, would you mind if he sat down and talked first?” Jiang Miaomiao suddenly asked.
Teacher Ren had been making Jiang Jiezhi stand as punishment for a long time, and nodded in agreement.
Jiang Miaomiao patted the seat next to her.
Because Teacher Ren is the mother of Jiang Jiezhi's crush, no matter how arrogant he usually is, he has to tolerate her for the sake of love. He swallowed his anger and sat down next to Jiang Miaomiao.
Jiang Miaomiao asked Teacher Ren for Jiang Jiezhi's report card. After quickly glancing at it, she discovered that he had scored single digits in every subject in the midterm exams from his first to second year of high school. One question, a question that even a top student like her couldn't help but pierce through her mind, struck her: "You got a higher score by choosing D for every multiple-choice question. How did you manage to avoid the correct answer on every single question?"
Teacher Ren had no choice but to agree: "I'm curious too."
Jiang Jiezhi: "..." Is it his fault for having bad luck with the dice?
"But you can't blame him. The Jiang family's genes have always been poor, and it's his family's fault." Jiang Miaomiao changed the subject and said with deep emotion, "The best thing he did in his life was to be born into a good family. You can't ask for anything more."
Jiang Jiezhi stared wide-eyed and turned to Jiang Miaomiao, "What the hell are you talking about?"
Jiang Miaomiao added, "Thank you for your trouble, Teacher Ren. There's no cure for the genetic problem. I can only guarantee that he won't harm other girls and prevent the spread of bad genes."
"Damn it, are you trying to kill me by saying that in front of Teacher Ren?" Jiang Jiezhi finally swore, but before Teacher Ren could retort, Jiang Miaomiao kicked him hard in the face with her sneaker, causing him to cover his face and fall backward.
That's right, having him sit closer makes it easier for him to move his feet.
Jiang Miaomiao promised Jiang Zhengye that she would never act rashly.
Teacher Ren gasped.
Jiang Jiezhi struggled to sit up.
Jiang Jiezhi was beaten so badly that even Teacher Ren felt sorry for him and turned to comfort Jiang Miaomiao: "Miss Jiang, don't be too angry. Even if he's not good at studying, he didn't say anything wrong. Having some money at home still provides some security. At least you won't have to worry about not having a job and starving to death in the future. Don't be angry, don't be too angry..."
"The deeper the love, the more intense the hate, so I have to be precise," Jiang Miaomiao explained earnestly. "But as the intellectual darling of the Jiang family, I still have some ways to educate my intellectually challenged younger brother. Don't worry, Teacher Ren, even if he doesn't ultimately become a dragon, he won't be a pest under my watch!"
Jiang Zhengye, who hadn't even left the hospital yet, saw Dr. Yan and the nurses pushing in the third hospital bed, where they lined up with Jiang Bainian and Jiang Zhongming.
The three sons of the Jiang family met in the hospital ward.
***
Jiang Miaomiao later came to visit the set.
She has a normal daily routine, but Jiang Bainian, Jiang Zhongming, and Jiang Jiezhi have unusually irregular schedules, making it impossible for them to meet properly. So she can only use her own methods to make them behave themselves when she meets them.
She appeared in room 302 carrying a fruit basket, ignoring Jiang Zhengye's murderous glare, and dragged a stool to sit down. While looking at her three unfamiliar younger brothers, she peeled an apple.
Jiang Bainian was someone I met on the very first night. He had purple hair and was lying on the far left.
Jiang Zhongming has silver hair and is lying in the middle.
I only saw Jiang Jiezhi this morning; he had a head of colorful, spiky hair.
She couldn't help but scoff, "The hair colors of the three of you..." It's like a collection of all the colors of the rainbow, enough to summon a dragon.
Three men with limited mobility lay on the hospital bed, glaring fiercely at the woman who had appeared out of nowhere.
Thanks to Jiang Zhengye's belated explanation, they realized this was the older sister they had never met before! But no one knew she was so violent and vicious!
Jiang Zhengye was even thinking about how to trick Jiang Miaomiao into getting a DNA paternity test, because how could his Jiang family possibly produce such a violent person?
"Want an apple?" Jiang Miaomiao handed a peeled apple to Jiang Zhengye.
Jiang Zhengye refused: "I'm afraid you'll poison me."
“You haven’t even made a will yet, so even if I poison you now, I won’t inherit the Jiang family fortune,” Jiang Miaomiao replied.
Jiang Zhengye immediately snatched the apple back and started taking big, crunchy bites.
She glanced at the people in the three hospital beds, slightly brandished the sharp fruit knife in her hand, and smiled faintly, "What would you like to eat?"
The three men with limited mobility silently refused.
Regardless of whether Jiang Zhengye was poisoned or not, they would never eat this woman's food! How can you put all your eggs in one basket? How can four people share the same basket of apples!
"Visiting time is over," the nurse knocked on the door to remind patients during rounds.
The three quickly urged Jiang Zhengye to take her away with their eyes; every minute she stayed in the ward was a minute more dangerous for them.
Jiang Zhengye was furious when he saw his three sons who were so afraid of death.
He grabbed Jiang Miaomiao's clothes and left.
Unlike before, when Jiang Zhengye always strode ahead, this time he was forced to slow down, walking alongside the leisurely Jiang Miaomiao. He asked directly, "What exactly do you want?"
Jiang Miaomiao smiled: "I wanted to show you how capable your three sons are. Turns out, they don't seem to be very capable at all?"
Jiang Zhengye said, "At the very least, they are surnamed Jiang, and they are my sons, Jiang Zhengye's sons."
Jiang Miaomiao asked in confusion, "Does that mean I don't have the surname Jiang?"
Jiang Zhengye said, "A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; you just have the surname Jiang now."
