During dinner that evening, Jiang Changyi looked at Jiang Weidong with unease, fearing that he would be exposed.
"Dad, my older brother and I have something to tell you!"
Seeing Jiang Defu about to go back into the house with the newspaper, Jiang Weidong quickly stopped him.
Jiang Defu looked at them with some surprise, then said with his hands behind his back, "Alright, come in!"
Jiang Changyi looked over in alarm, his hands trembling uncontrollably as he cleared the dishes.
Once inside the room, Jiang Weiguo was still struggling with how to tell his father, but Jiang Weidong cut to the chase and asked, "Dad, what are you planning to do with Jiang Changyi?"
Jiang Weiguo didn't expect him to be so blunt, so he quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Dad, it's not good for him to stay at our house all the time, and Mom definitely won't want to come back."
Jiang Defu snorted, crossed his legs, and asked Jiang Weidong, "So, what do you want me to do with him?"
Jiang Weidong had long noticed the subtle difference in his father's attitude towards Jiang Changyi, so he smiled and probed, "Isn't this what you say? Isn't he your nephew?"
"How did you know?" Jiang Defu sat up straight abruptly, looking at him with astonishment.
"Dad, you knew?" Jiang Weiguo was even more surprised than him; his father had known all along!
"Anyway, you should get rid of him as soon as possible. This guy has ulterior motives; you don't want to raise a thankless wretch!"
As Jiang Weidong had expected, he directly stated his purpose.
"What's wrong with him?" Jiang Defu didn't expect his second son to be so hostile towards Jiang Changyi, and looked at him with some confusion.
Jiang Weidong couldn't bring himself to say it, so he could only awkwardly try to evade the question by saying, "You should ask him yourself!"
Jiang Defu became even more curious, but seeing that Jiang Weidong was reluctant to talk, he waved them out with a look of disdain, "Go away, all of you get out. Call Jiang Changyi in; I want to see what he's up to!"
Jiang Weidong stood up and walked out, hands in his pockets, and said to Jiang Changyi, "Please come in, my dad is looking for you!"
Jiang Changyi glanced at him helplessly, swallowed hard, and walked in cautiously.
As soon as he entered the house, Jiang Defu sat on the sofa reading the newspaper. Knowing that he had come in, he neither spoke nor looked at him, treating him as if he were invisible.
Looking at Jiang Defu's expressionless face, Jiang Changyi didn't dare to sit down and stood there anxiously wondering if Jiang Defu knew anything about it.
Time ticked by, and Jiang Changyi's back was soaked with cold sweat. After hearing Jiang Defu shout, "Speak!", Jiang Changyi was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Father, I was wrong. I was blinded by greed. I shouldn't have schemed against my second brother and eldest sister!"
