After coming out of the barber shop, Jiang Yicheng wanted to run again, but Jiang Yiyu grabbed his arm and stuffed him into the car. Song Shengsheng followed closely and sat next to him in the back seat.
Jiang Yicheng folded his arms, leaning against the car door and curled up in the seat, feeling depressed and irritated.
Jiang Yiyu locked the car door as soon as he got in. He couldn't jump out even if he wanted to: "I'm not going home! Let me out! I have plans to go out with friends tonight! Let me out!"
Jiang Yiyu glanced at the rearview mirror while driving: "Friends? Yellow-haired or red-haired? What kind of serious friends can you have?"
"What do you care! My friends are not serious, so are your friends serious? They are so serious that they even sent their dad to jail. This is what you call serious!"
"He deserved it, and your mother, too. They all made mistakes, so they're getting the punishment they deserve. If you keep hanging out with those shady young men like you are now, you'll end up in jail with them sooner or later."
"I won't! I want to be an idol!"
"Just you?"
Jiang Yiyu chuckled. "Do you even know how to spell the word 'idol'? Are you handsome? Are you tall? Can you sing or dance? Do you have the talent? You're covered in so much dirt and you're still involved in the underworld. How do you think you're qualified to be someone's idol? I don't even want to criticize you. You've been following your mother's lead since you were little, and now that you're grown up, you don't even study hard. You don't act like a student..."
Jiang Yicheng: "You are awesome, you are awesome at everything, okay?"
"I'll take you home now. Tomorrow morning I'll go to your school and have a good talk with your teacher about your problem. Next semester, you must pass the English test and then go abroad."
Jiang Yicheng snorted in dissatisfaction: "Anyone with a dream is great. I won't go to school. I just want to be famous."
"Notorious is also famous, you little bastard, you still want to be my father? Your father is not dead yet. If Jiang Yuan sees you like this, he will definitely beat you up, believe it or not!"
"I heard from my mom that Dad definitely won't be able to come out this time..." His voice became softer and softer as he spoke.
Song Shengsheng looked at him and said, "Is that why you dared to rebel suddenly?"
Jiang Yicheng glanced at her and said, "Don't worry about it! You and Jiang Yiyu are both annoying!"
"Say that to me again, and I'll spank you!"
Jiang Yicheng subconsciously shrank his neck back: "A violent person and a narcissist are a perfect match. My mom is right, you two are... you are... in cahoots with each other!"
Song Shengsheng slapped him hard on the head without any hesitation. Jiang Yicheng covered his head and shouted at her with a grin, "It hurts! I don't know how Jiang Yiyu fell in love with such a violent woman like you!"
"Say that again! I'll beat you up if you say that again!"
Jiang Yicheng snorted angrily, turned his head and looked out the window, and said angrily for a long time: "I'm not going home! There's no one at home."
"Where is Zhao Rong?" Jiang Yiyu asked.
Jiang Yicheng stopped talking.
Song Shengsheng asked him again: "Where is your mother?"
Jiang Yicheng frowned, hesitated for a while, and whispered, "Going back to grandma's house."
"She left you alone?"
Jiang Yicheng curled his lips, a little impatient: "I told you before, she is too busy taking care of herself to care about me, why don't you believe it? It's so annoying."
Song Shengsheng paused, took out her cell phone from her bag, called Song Ming, and asked him about Zhao Rong's whereabouts. Song Ming said, "The bodyguard is watching at their door every day. She hasn't gone anywhere."
Song Shengsheng looked at Jiang Yicheng and frowned: "Your mother is really not at home."
Jiang Yicheng sighed: "Whether she is at home or not, you will know when you come with me later."
"You didn't lie or cheat?"
Jiang Yicheng was completely impatient: "You think everyone has nothing to do like you guys and just likes to play tricks, right?"
Song Shengsheng said to Song Mingdao: "Zhao Rong is not at the Jiang family. Jiang Yicheng said that she went back to her own home."
Song Ming: "I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Song Shengsheng was extremely anxious. She grabbed Jiang Yicheng's arm and warned him, "You'd better not lie, otherwise I will take you with me even if I die."
Jiang Yicheng: "You're sick!"
When we arrived at the Jiang family's house, the courtyard was indeed pitch black.
Jiang Yiyu asked, "Where is the housekeeper?"
Jiang Yicheng: "As soon as Dad's incident happened, everyone resigned. They said the Jiang family was going bankrupt, so now I'm the only one left here."
Jiang Yiyu: “…”
…
Pushing the door open and walking into the house, Jiang Yicheng turned on the light, changed his shoes, walked into the dining room, poured himself a glass of water, and took a sip: "Even talking has an echo. If you don't believe me, just shout a few times and try it."
Song Shengsheng sat down opposite him. Jiang Yicheng readily poured her a glass of water, but Song Shengsheng didn't drink it. "Do you think your mother doesn't want you anymore?"
Jiang Yicheng was silent for a moment, then pretended to be indifferent. "Didn't you say that I was the one who opened the Jiang family's door from the very beginning? And didn't I also tell you later that everything I learned from childhood was a trick my mother used to please my father. It was a tool she used to prove to the people in your circle that the son she raised was better than Li Chu's son. So it's not surprising that she didn't want me."
"After all, she loves herself more than she loves me."
Song Shengsheng: "Aren't you sad?"
Jiang Yicheng smiled and said, "Is it useful to be sad? Haven't you heard the saying, 'If you can't beat them, join them?' But those who join when they can't beat them are often the ones who are abandoned in the end. Do you know why my mother, who has been subjected to domestic violence for a long time, still refuses to divorce my father?"
"Why?"
"First, I'm reluctant to part with the family fortune. I always feel I can get more if I work harder. Second, it's because my grandmother and uncle are insatiable. Third, do you think my mother can stay at home and endure humiliation while my father is out there with all sorts of mistresses and mistresses? I don't want to say more. After all, they share a common interest, and I'm just... cannon fodder."
"Where is your mother going?"
Jiang Yicheng shrugged. "I don't know either. When she left, she told me that she would come to pick me up after she was settled. But who knows if she will come or not. Whether she can settle down is still an unknown. I have nowhere to go, so I can only stay here as a cover for her to escape."
The restaurant fell into silence.
After a long while, Jiang Yiyu sat down next to Song Shengsheng, looked at Jiang Yicheng, and asked seriously, "Why are you speaking so calmly?"
Jiang Yicheng curled his lips: "You will find out sooner or later, there is no need for me to lie to you. And I am the only one like this." He tugged at his collar: "If my mother could control me, would she let me dress like this? If she and my father could control me, I would not have gone out to play last time, let alone been sent to the police station by you. Anyway, in one sentence, believe it or not, if you don't believe it, forget it."
Jiang Yiyu and Song Shengsheng looked at each other, both half believing and half doubting.
Just as the three were confronting each other, the door of the Jiang family was suddenly pushed open.
