"Jiang Qiaoqiao, kneel down!"
With Peng Cuiying's words, Jiang Yong'an became even more unscrupulous and was about to kick Jiang Qiaoqiao in the back of the knee.
Qin Haiyang, who was standing next to him, got anxious and subconsciously took a step forward.
But after taking just that one small step, he came to a halt.
When he got home last night, Jiang Yiran was quite angry with him.
Later, he finally managed to coax Jiang Yiran into agreeing that she would talk to Jiang Jiahua when she got back today and ask her to arrange a job for him at the food factory.
If he helps Jiang Qiaoqiao now, Jiang Yiran...
Qin Haiyang subtly withdrew his foot again.
"Smack!"
"ah--"
Jiang Yong'an's foot hadn't even reached Jiang Qiaoqiao's knee.
Jiang Qiaoqiao turned around abruptly and slapped Jiang Yong'an across the face. Before Jiang Yong'an could react, she kicked him between the legs.
Jiang Yong'an screamed in pain.
Everyone stared in shock at the scene before them, their minds momentarily blank, unable to believe what they were seeing.
How dare Jiang Qiaoqiao lay a hand on her third brother?
Is this still the same Jiang Qiaoqiao who used to be so submissive?
"Jiang Qiaoqiao!"
Finally, Peng Cuiying was the first to react. She shouted angrily at Jiang Qiaoqiao and was about to rush up and slap her.
Jiang Qiaoqiao looked at her coldly.
Peng Cuiying didn't know what was going on, but when she met Jiang Qiaoqiao's cold gaze, she couldn't bring herself to slap her.
"Jiang Qiaoqiao, you even dare to hit your brother now, you really... really..."
Peng Cuiying had a bellyful of swear words she wanted to curse, but when the words reached her lips, she remembered Jiang Qiaoqiao's question to her last time, calling her a slut. Then what was she, as her mother?
She was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to scold Jiang Qiaoqiao.
Jiang Qiaoqiao met her gaze. "He wants to hit me, so why can't I hit him back? Am I just supposed to be beaten by him and bullied by you all?"
"You! You bullied your sister first, and you still think you're right!" Peng Cuiying said angrily.
Jiang Qiaoqiao glanced coldly at Jiang Yiran, "Heh, I bullied her? Did she tell you why I bullied her?"
Peng Cuiying gritted her teeth, "No matter what, you can't just beat your sister's face until it's swollen!"
"Heh!" Jiang Qiaoqiao sneered, "Your good daughter went to the market and called so many common people lowly. If I hadn't slapped her face yesterday, you would have been reported for bureaucracy today. Do you think you'd still be sitting here lecturing me?"
Peng Cuiying's expression froze.
Jiang Jiahua, who had been standing by silently and maintaining a haughty demeanor, also looked rather grim.
Although he also felt that his family were all workers, and he himself was the deputy factory director, they were much more noble than those farmers who toiled in the fields all day long.
But now the national policy emphasizes equality for all, so it's fine to keep these thoughts to yourself, but you can't say them out loud.
Moreover, the old factory director is about to retire, which is a crucial time for him to be promoted. He can't afford to give anyone a handle to use against him.
Looking at the Jiang family's expressions, Jiang Qiaoqiao sneered, "You all accused me of bullying her without even knowing the facts, demanding that I apologize to her and even kneel down. Fine, I was just meddling yesterday. I'm going to find those people from yesterday and tell them that Jiang Yiran doesn't think she was wrong at all. She thinks they're all lowly people from the bottom of her heart!"
After saying that, she walked straight outside.
After seeing Jiang Yiran's swollen face, the Jiang family members were only concerned about feeling sorry for her.
When Jiang Yiran stammered that it was Jiang Qiaoqiao who hit her, and said that she was wrong, I just felt that Jiang Yiran was kind and covered up for Jiang Qiaoqiao even though she was being bullied by her.
I never expected this...
Peng Cuiying looked at Jiang Qiaoqiao with a complicated expression.
Jiang Yong'an was still grumbling indignantly, "Ranran is young. Even if she accidentally said something wrong outside, couldn't she apologize to those people herself and cover it up? Why did she have to hit Ranran? She's clearly just using this as an excuse to cause trouble."
"Shut up!"
Jiang Jiahua, who had been silent until now, roared, "What are you all standing there for? Go and get her back right now! Do you really want her to go and report us to someone?!"
Peng Cuiying realized what was happening and quickly chased after them outside.
Jiang Qiaoqiao walked slowly, and Peng Cuiying quickly caught up with her.
"Alright, we didn't ask clearly about what happened today. We're family, so don't hold grudges. Go home with Mom now."
Peng Cuiying frowned and spoke in a condescending tone.
She, as a mother, had already chased after Jiang Qiaoqiao to give her a way out. If Jiang Qiaoqiao still refused to give up, then Jiang Qiaoqiao was being unreasonable.
Jiang Qiaoqiao felt a chill in her heart.
It was the same in her past life. Whenever Jiang Yiran was wronged, her family would help her get revenge. But if she was wronged, she should just swallow her pride and bear it.
In her past life, she longed for family affection, and she swallowed all her grievances.
But she no longer cares about this in this lifetime.
"No need for meals, my family has enough to eat. In the future, if you have any problems, don't call me back. I'm not the kind and obedient Jiang Yiran, coming back will only ruin your fun."
After Jiang Qiaoqiao finished speaking, she walked away.
"Eh..."
Peng Cuiying called out again, but this time Jiang Qiaoqiao quickened her pace, and she couldn't stop her or catch up.
When Peng Xiuying returned home, Jiang Jiahua had already sent everyone else away, leaving only Jiang Yong'an and Qin Haiyang and Jiang Yiran in the living room.
