Chapter 218: Treasure
So it was delayed again and again.
Unexpectedly, the reality was even more cruel than she had imagined.
The news spread faster than the wind.
Originally, Jiang Yumin still held on to a glimmer of hope that it wouldn't be too late to tell her father after she came up with a solution.
But reality doesn't leave her any room.
Jiang Chengyuan heard the news of the marriage from others early on.
Jiang Chengyuan roared angrily: "Jiang Yumin! What did you promise me in the beginning? Isn't it a sure thing that the Xiao family's daughter-in-law is yours?"
"How much did our Jiang family spend on feeding and clothing you?"
"From childhood to adulthood, what good things have you not had? You have famous teachers to teach you, you ride in cars when you go out, you wear famous brands, and you use imported goods! Which of the Jiang family's efforts for you was in vain?"
"In the end, you couldn't even catch Xiao Zhiyu!"
These words hit her heart like a whip.
Jiang Yumin dug her nails deep into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain.
"waste!"
Jiang Chengyuan pointed at Jiang Yumin, his hands shaking.
"You and Xiao Zhiyu grew up together. How many people saw you as childhood sweethearts? How many people said you were a match made in heaven? And what happened? Ruan Chuxia showed up out of nowhere, and you lost your position so easily? You've completely disgraced the Jiang family!"
Jiang Yumin bit her lips tightly.
She lowered her head, not daring to look her father in the eye.
She knew she couldn't escape this hurdle today.
But what she feared more was the Jiang family's subsequent indifference and liquidation.
The arrogance he had when he entered the door just now was completely scared away.
As a member of the Jiang family, she knew too well how cold-blooded the Jiang family was.
The Jiang family never keeps useless people.
She knew that once she lost her status as the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, her status in the Jiang family would plummet.
In the past, she relied on Guo Huaqin's love and the title of "Xiao family's daughter-in-law".
She lived a truly glorious life in the Jiang family. Even the most unkind aunt smiled when she saw her.
Her aunt took the initiative to introduce brand-name bags to her.
Even her father's eyes looked a little softer when he looked at her.
She is the most dazzling daughter of the Jiang family and the future pride of the family.
Everyone toasted her with a glass of wine and called her "Mrs. Xiao".
But now that her identity was exposed, she didn't even dare to think about what would happen next.
Her hands and feet were cold and her mind was stagnant.
She knew that her father's anger was just the beginning and the real storm was yet to come.
She might even be deprived of the right to live here.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
But he forced himself to hold back and not let them fall.
She knew that her weakness at this moment would only bring more contempt.
She had to hold on, even if it was just to remain calm on the surface.
She remembered what Ruan Chenshuang had mentioned to her two days ago.
He blurted out quickly: "Dad! Ruan Chuxia was able to enter the Xiao family because of that engagement!"
She raised her voice a few notches, trying to make her words sound more meaningful.
Jiang Chengyuan sneered: "She came from the countryside, and the Xiao family doesn't look down on her at all. Do you have a chance to get promoted?"
He glanced at her sideways, a sarcastic arc appearing at the corner of his mouth.
She wanted to argue, but found that she couldn't even convince herself.
Jiang Yumin's face suddenly turned red.
She really thought so.
But it still feels embarrassing when someone exposes it in front of me.
She originally had a lucky mentality.
Ruan Chuxia was born in the countryside and had never seen the world.
How could a family like the Xiao family truly accept her?
As long as she behaves appropriately enough, there may be a chance for her to turn defeat into victory.
But once these thoughts were spoken out by my father with a sneer, they immediately seemed childish and ridiculous.
Jiang Chengyuan snorted heavily.
That cold snort was like a slap in the face, hitting Jiang Yumin's heart hard.
"Don't care? Do you know that Envoy Xiao is still in the hospital? If you really don't care, can the wedding go ahead as planned?"
He walked to the window, his back to her.
There was suppressed anger in his tone.
"Xiao Zhenwu was seriously injured, and the doctors repeatedly ordered him to rest, but he stubbornly held on despite his illness and personally oversaw every aspect of his marriage. Do you consider this attitude contemptuous?"
How can this be described by the word "importance"?
That is a promise that is guarded with one's life.
The Xiao family's acceptance of Ruan Chuxia is out of cherishment and love from the bottom of their hearts.
That's called cherishing it!
Jiang Yumin's heart sank suddenly.
The whole person fell into the bottomless abyss in an instant.
Jiang Chengyuan stared at her coldly and continued to ask, "How has your Aunt Xiao been treating you recently?"
Her heart suddenly tightened, and cold sweat quietly seeped from her back.
But she forced herself to remain calm and replied cheerfully, "It's fine! It's really fine! I even knitted her a scarf myself! She was so happy when she got it!"
In the Jiang family, being worthless is equivalent to being sentenced to death!
She must never tell the truth!
Jiang Chengyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
After a moment, he slowly nodded and snorted coldly: "Humph, at least you are of some use. It's not in vain that I raised you."
He waved his hand impatiently.
"Let's go, don't be an eyesore here."
As soon as she closed the door, she ran away.
no!
Absolutely not!
She can't just sit there and wait for death!
She must find Guo Huaqin immediately!
I must take back her favor with my own hands!
That was her only shelter in the Jiang family and her capital to survive!
But now, where is Guo Huaqin?
If she were still at home, everything would be easy.
But if she went to the hospital, where would I go to find her?
Mrs. Min will definitely not tell her the truth.
You can't even ask Jiang Chengyuan himself.
Once he finds out, the consequences will be disastrous!
Just when she was almost in despair, an idea suddenly flashed in her mind.
Ruan Chenshuang!
Ruan Chuxia’s biological sister!
Just ask her and you will definitely know Guo Huaqin's whereabouts!
As soon as this thought came to mind, Jiang Yumin's eyes lit up.
The opportunity has come!
She turned around without hesitation and rushed upstairs.
Ruan Chenshuang was sleeping soundly, and she didn't know what good things she dreamed about.
Jiang Yumin didn't even knock on the door, but pushed it open.
Grab the corner of the quilt with one hand.
"Ruan Chenshuang! Get up!"
"ah……!"
Ruan Chenshuang was eating candied haws in her dream.
She felt a chill run down her spine and jumped up from the bed in shock. She was about to start cursing.
I saw Jiang Yumin standing by the bed with a frosty face.
All of a sudden, all the sleepiness disappeared.
She pulled the bed sheet over herself and quickly put on a flattering smile: "Yumin, why...why are you here? Do you want to talk to me?"
Jiang Yumin is the most favored daughter of the Jiang family, and she is also her legitimate sister-in-law!
In the past, whenever she tried to curry favor with others, she was coldly rejected.
Jiang Yumin didn't even look at her.
But now the other party actually came to her house on his own initiative!
She was secretly happy, so how could she dare to show her displeasure?
Jiang Yumin crossed his arms and looked at Ruan Chenshuang.
She really couldn't figure out what her brother Jiang Jiashu liked about this woman.
No looks, no conversation, no background.
But such a woman is protected by her brother like a treasure.
She asked bluntly, her voice cold as ice.
"I just want to ask you one question, where is Ruan Chuxia?"
"Ruan Chuxia?"
Ruan Chenshuang was slightly stunned at first.
Instinctively, I replied, "How would I know where she went?"
"Don't play dumb with me!"
