Chapter 255 Why rely on you

Jiang Ci thought for a moment and said, "The day after tomorrow is Shen Nuo's birthday. I already have an appointment."

Jiang Ciyou did not lie.

The day after tomorrow is indeed Shen Nuo’s birthday, and Shen Nuo had made an appointment with her early on to hold a party in the villa in Qingmu Mountain.

Yao Shulan on the other end of the phone was obviously a little cautious: "Okay, then let's do it another day, okay?"

Jiang Ci hummed in agreement.

After Yao Shulan hung up the phone, she sighed.

Jiang Jinhui, who was standing by, quickly asked, "How is it, did she agree?"

Yao Shulan shook her head.

Jiang Jinhui's expression changed instantly.

"What's wrong with you? It's been so long, and you can't even do such a small thing. If Xiaoyou doesn't go, how can we find an excuse to visit the Xiao family? Haven't you seen how badly the stock price of Qingben Jiaren has fallen? Why aren't you in a hurry at all?"

Yao Shulan also became angry.

"Am I not anxious about the company's current situation? But is it useful to be anxious? Is it my fault that the company's stock price has fallen so much? Jiang Jinhui, all the major decisions of the company have been made by you over the years. When Xiaoxiao stole Ciyou's entry into the competition, it was also your tacit consent. What do you mean by throwing the blame on me now?"

Jiang Jinhui knew his wife's temper.

He came from an ordinary family, but he was highly educated and handsome when he was young. He fell in love with Yao Shulan at first sight at a dance.

Later he married Yao Shulan. Although it was called marriage, it was almost like bribery.

So he always gave in to Yao Shulan all his life.

He made his fortune mainly by relying on the Yao family's assets, and the financial power of the family has always been in the hands of Yao Shulan.

Jiang Jinhui looked at his wife, whom he had endured for half his life, and he had already felt annoyed in his heart.

But in the end, he bowed his head out of habit: "I was just anxious for the moment. The Xiao family is our only hope now. I also asked someone to spend a lot of money to make an appointment with the Xiao family. It's rare that Xiao Qishan still remembers the gift of jade and wants to invite us to their family dinner. This is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If Xiao Qishan can't go, what's the point of us going there? He said he wanted to see the child from that year, and he specifically said he wanted to take another look at the jade locket."

Neither of them spoke.

They couldn't change the time set by the Xiao family.

And I heard that they would only stay for two days to worship their ancestors this time.

If you miss this opportunity, there won't be another one.

But Jiang Ciyou clearly refused.

Yao Shulan remembered that that day was indeed Shen Nuo's birthday.

Shen Nuo is Jiang Ciyou's childhood friend, and the two of them have a close relationship, like they are one person.

Yao Shulan guessed that Shen Nuo returned to Rongcheng probably because of Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ciyou takes her birthday more seriously than his own, and there is no way he would let her go easily.

When the couple was at a loss, Jiang Xiaoxiao suddenly pushed the door open.

She was full of anger: "Dad, Mom, who is your biological daughter? Why is it so good? You are only thinking about Jiang Ciyou instead of me?"

When Jiang Jinhui saw Jiang Xiaoxiao, he felt his blood pressure soar.

"How dare you ask? If you hadn't plagiarized mlssy and embarrassed the whole world, would our Jiang family be in the current situation? The stock price has fallen and our Jiang family is about to go bankrupt. Isn't it all your fault?"

Jiang Jinhui seemed to be talking to himself naturally: "What sin did I commit in my last life to give birth to a daughter like you? I should have just let you stay out. You are simply here to collect debts."

Jiang Xiaoxiao felt angry and aggrieved when she heard these words.

"Dad, how can you say that? You gave birth to me but lost me, letting me grow up in such an environment. You gave all the love and resources that should have belonged to me to Jiang Ciyou. If I had been pampered like Jiang Ciyou since I was a child, I would definitely be better than her now. Similarly, if Jiang Ciyou lived in the circle that originally belonged to her, she would be a hundred times worse than me."

Every time Yao Shulan heard Jiang Xiaoxiao say this, she felt like a knife was stabbing her heart.

In the past, she felt guilty, distressed, and sympathetic towards Jiang Xiaoxiao, and wanted to give her all the best things in the world.

But now, Jiang Xiaoxiao's remarks have been accused thousands of times.

Yao Shulan no longer has the same mood as before.

"Jiang Xiaoxiao, it's been more than three years since you came back. Have you made any progress?"

Yao Shulan looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao calmly: "When you were replaced, it was not what we wanted, and it was not our doing. It was an accident, arranged by God. Are you going to use this as an excuse for your failure for the rest of your life?"

"In the past three years, I hired an etiquette teacher to teach you etiquette and the rules of conduct in the upper class society. What have you learned? We planned to send you abroad to study and get a better degree. You said you didn't want to endure this hardship, so we arranged for you to learn management in the company. We also planned to entrust the industry to you in the future, but you sold the company's shares worth 1 billion for 20 million."

Yao Shulan said calmly: "People can change. Now you have everything, but you haven't made any progress at all."

Yao Shulan sighed, "You are different from Ciyou. Three years ago, she lost everything. Wasn't she miserable? She was even more miserable than you. Falling from the clouds into the mire is much more painful than you struggling in the mire. But look at what she has done with her life in the past three years."

Yao Shulan looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao and said, "Do you know what the difference is between you two? Because she never complains, she only looks forward."

Jiang Xiaoxiao yelled at Yao Shulan, "After all, you still think Jiang Ciyou is great because she has married into the Bo family. But what's the point of her being the Bo family's young mistress? She still watched the Jiang family die without helping. Do you think Jiang Ciyou still has feelings for you? She remembers everything you did to her in the past three years."

"Jiang Ciyou has already disowned you in his heart. In the future, the only one you two can rely on is me, and only me."

Yao Shulan was extremely disappointed and didn't want to say another word.

But Jiang Jinhui was somewhat moved.

Yes, although he gave Jiang Ciyou 20% of the shares, Jiang Ciyou did not help the company.

Now she has a casual attitude towards the Jiang family and the beautiful lady.

It's no longer the same as it used to be.

But Jiang Jinhui still snorted coldly: "Depend on you, what ability do you have that makes us rely on you?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao said: "Jiang Ciyou just found a backer, I can do the same, you recommend me to the Xiao family, if I can get close to the Xiao family, I will do my best to support the Jiang family and let Qing Ben Jiaren join the ranks of the world's luxury goods."
