Jiang Li and Lu Jiming left the house and started jogging outside.
When they passed by the Jiang family's house, Jiang Xueqi was already waiting there.
When Jiang Xueqi woke up in the morning, she didn't see Jiang Li. She was a little annoyed, thinking that Jiang Li had deliberately left her behind and gone ahead of her.
After waiting there for a while, she wanted to go back and complain, when she saw Jiang Li and Lu Jiming running towards her together.
"Jiang Li, why did you come from that side?" Jiang Xueqi's eyes flashed with resentment as she questioned Jiang Li, "When did you get there?"
Jiang Xueqi clenched her fists in jealousy, her nails digging into her flesh.
Jiang Li went to see Lu Jiming before her. Did she discuss something with Lu Jiming?
"What do I do? Do I need to report to you?" Jiang Li ignored Jiang Xueqi's anger and said mockingly, "Where do you get the confidence that we're in a relationship where we can talk about this?"
Jiang Xueqi's expression was unpleasant, but she still stubbornly said, "I'm doing this for your own good, aren't I? I care about where you are and I'm worried about your safety. Is there a problem?"
Jiang Li: "..."
Don't you have any idea whether there's a problem or not?
"It's getting late, and you're still chatting here?" Lu Jiming suddenly spoke up, looking at Jiang Xueqi with obvious disdain. "Do you think you can keep up with Jiang Li's speed, so you're not worried about being late at all?"
Jiang Xueqi bit her lip, not daring to speak.
The three of them started running outside.
To give Lu Jiming time to eat breakfast, Jiang Li sped up her pace even more than yesterday.
Lu Jiming could barely keep up with Jiang Li, but Jiang Xueqi...
She really couldn't control herself.
She felt her legs getting heavier and heavier, and it took a lot of effort to move even one step.
Finally, she clutched her chest, gasping for breath, "You...you guys...slow down...I...I can't take it anymore..."
She was really tired.
My legs felt like they were filled with lead.
It's so painful.
"If you really can't take it anymore, just give up." Jiang Li glanced at Jiang Xueqi expressionlessly. "It's not worth making things so difficult for yourself just to spite someone."
Jiang Xueqi bit her lip and remained silent.
This is no longer a question of whether she wants to or not.
Besides, if Jiang Li can do it, why can't Jiang Xueqi?
“Time is running out, and we won’t risk being late waiting for you.” Jiang Li glanced at Jiang Xueqi again. “Just take a taxi to school yourself, we’ll keep running.”
After saying that, Jiang Li ran out.
Jiang Xueqi is truly beyond my reach.
She glared at the two figures as they left, and as if remembering something, a malicious smile curled at the corner of her lips.
Jiang Li, you forced me to do this.
At this moment, the Jiang family was preparing to eat breakfast.
Jiang Chengxi snatched the chopsticks from Jiang Chi's hand. "Dad, you don't need to eat breakfast."
Jiang Chi's expression changed, and his tone became very unpleasant, "What? Wasn't Jiang Li angry enough with me yesterday? Now you won't even let me eat?"
“I think Jiang Li is right. You should go to the hospital for a full check-up today,” Jiang Chengxi said seriously. “After you finish eating, some tests won’t be possible.”
"I'm not going," Jiang Chi refused without even thinking.
Su Ruan looked at Jiang Chengxi, then at Jiang Chi, and said, "If you were fine, I wouldn't say anything, but you are indeed feeling unwell. Since you're not feeling well, you should get a checkup. If there's a problem, you can get treatment as soon as possible. It's better than you suffering in silence, isn't it?"
Jiang Chi doesn't listen to others, but he does listen to Su Ruan.
Su Ruan then looked at Jiang Chengxi, "Is the company busy today? If there's nothing important, why don't you come with me to accompany your dad to the hospital?"
“Okay.” Jiang Chengxi agreed.
Apart from Jiang Chengxi, the other three sons of the Jiang family had already left home.
Jiang Chenghao is still in university, but he doesn't have many classes, so he goes home when he doesn't have classes.
Jiang Chengzhe is a medical student who has already started his internship. When he is busy, he lives outside.
As for Jiang Chengying, she was scouted by a talent agent during her university years and entered the entertainment industry.
Now he's quite well-known.
When there are announcements, he is often not at home.
It's been an unprecedented number of people who have been able to see him these past few days.
After persuading Jiang Chi, the family of three set off for the hospital.
It's difficult to see a doctor these days; if you don't go early, you might not even get a number called even after waiting all day.
Fortunately, Jiang Chengzhe was interning at a hospital, so he could make arrangements in advance with just a phone call.
Before they even reached the hospital, Jiang Chengxi suddenly stopped the car.
The person walking with a limp next to him looked so familiar.
"Jiang Xueqi?" I rolled down the car window and saw that it was indeed Jiang Xueqi.
"Big brother?" Jiang Xueqi's eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Chengxi, but when she glanced at Jiang Chi and Su Ruan beside him, she lowered her head again.
"Didn't you go to school? What are you doing here?" Jiang Chengxi asked abruptly as he helped Jiang Xueqi into the car.
Jiang Xueqi's expression froze, then she lowered her eyes. "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, I'm sorry, it's my fault, it's my fault..."
As she spoke, Jiang Xueqi burst into tears, feeling wronged.
Jiang Chi was getting impatient, and seeing her crying like this only fueled his anger.
Su Ruan spoke up before Jiang Chi could get angry: "Xueqi, don't cry, tell Mom what happened?"
"Mom, it's my fault. I couldn't keep up with Jiang Li in the race, and I even twisted my ankle..." Jiang Xueqi choked out. "If only I had exercised more often, I wouldn't have ended up like this just from running..."
"Is your foot injury serious?" Su Ruan asked worriedly.
Jiang Xueqi shook her head, "No bones are broken, but it hurts a bit..."
"You bastard!" Jiang Chi's face was filled with anger. "Didn't you go to school with Jiang Li? You got hurt, and Jiang Li just abandoned you?"
Jiang Xueqi lowered her head and remained silent.
Jiang Chengxi's gaze swept over Jiang Xueqi before turning to Jiang Chi. "You were the one who insisted that Jiang Xueqi run to school with Jiang Li. Now that she has twisted her ankle, are you going to blame it on Jiang Li?"
"She still has the surname Jiang! Xueqi is injured, shouldn't she take care of her?" Jiang Chi was extremely dissatisfied, and he couldn't stand Jiang Li no matter how he looked at her!
"Although Jiang Xueqi is injured, it doesn't affect her walking. Are we going to make Jiang Li late for school because of her?"
"Ha!" Jiang Chi sneered again. "She skips school anyway, so what if she takes Xueqi to the hospital?"
Jiang Xueqi bit her lip, her tone somewhat sorrowful, "Dad, Big Brother, please don't argue because of me. It's because of my existence that things have turned out this way. I'm the superfluous one. Jiang Li is Mom and Dad's biological daughter. It's understandable that she hates me and doesn't like me."
She paused, then continued, "Mom and Dad, you should transfer all your love and affection for me to Jiang Li. Otherwise, how sad she must feel seeing you treat me so well?"
"Xueqi, this has nothing to do with you," Jiang Chi said coldly. "Jiang Li is our biological daughter, but that doesn't stop us from being good to you. Besides, if she's not favored, that's her own personality issue. What does it have to do with you?"
“But…” Jiang Xueqi’s lips twitched, and finally she said with tears in her eyes, “How about this, I’ll move out of the house, so she won’t see me and won’t be angry because of me.”
"Jiang Xueqi, are you doing this on purpose?" Jiang Chengxi's face suddenly darkened, and he said in an unhappy tone, "Jiang Li already said yesterday that she would leave the Jiang family within three months. After she said that, you want to move out of the house. What do you mean by that?"
Jiang Xueqi choked, and tears streamed down her face again. "Big brother, I just don't want Mom and Dad to be caught in the middle between me and Jiang Li, and I don't want to take away Jiang Li's family. If I back down, will she be happier? Will the irreconcilable conflict between us ease a little?"
"You're overthinking it..." Jiang Chengxi sneered again, stating the facts bluntly, "Jiang Li doesn't care about anyone in our Jiang family, nor does she care who our family members care about or love. Of course, she won't care about you either, so... don't think too highly of yourself."
Jiang Xueqi's face turned pale instantly.
Not only Jiang Xueqi, but Su Ruan and Jiang Chi also looked grim.
Yes, Jiang Li doesn't care about them.
It has been from the very beginning.
"How could I have such a cold-blooded and heartless daughter?" Jiang Chi's disgust deepened. "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have given birth to her in the first place!"
“Dad…” Jiang Chengxi chuckled softly, “To be fair, it’s not wrong for you to want Jiang Li to be obedient and treat us as family, but… this family of ours…”
After a pause, Jiang Chengxi added, "Did you genuinely accept her and treat her like family?"
