Jiang Rui blinked in confusion. What did he just hear?
Xihe pulled the quilt up to his chest, then looked him in the eye and said, "Don't worry about what's happening online. I've already made a statement. Of course." She paused, looking at him, "If you're still worried, you can also post on Weibo."
"What?"
Jiang Rui asked subconsciously.
Xihe glanced at him and curled her lips: "Let's take a photo."
The confusion in the boy's eyes gradually dissipated, and suddenly a bright light burst out. He was surprised and happy: "Is it okay?"
Is she really willing to help him? Jiang Rui felt his eyes warm. He had gone to see Mrs. Jiang on the day the incident happened. Mrs. Jiang was chatting with a few other wives, complaining that he knew nothing and was not as well-behaved and sensible as Jiang Chen... She chased him away as soon as he approached.
He went to see Mr. Jiang, but was scolded harshly, saying that he was not doing his job properly and should study hard.
He really felt desperate at that time. There were so many people in his family, but no one was willing to help him, even just say a word.
Xihe didn't say anything.
She turned around and raised her phone. In an instant, two faces appeared on the screen before Jiang Rui could react.
Click, Xihe has finished shooting.
Jiang Rui: ???
Xihe handed the phone to him: "Send it."
Gou Zi tutted his tongue at the side: "Look, he's almost moved to tears."
Jiang Rui was stunned for a while, took a deep breath, and logged into his account.
As soon as he opened it, he was flooded with messages tagging him, and the "beep, beep" sound kept ringing. Jiang Rui subconsciously covered his phone, but found Xihe standing by the window and not paying attention to his place, so he relaxed.
He quickly browsed the messages, all of which were asking him when the certificate would be sent out, and also saying that Jiang Chen next door had already sent photos of the banquet.
Jiang Rui hurried to see, and sure enough, he saw the photo of Jiang Chen and Mr. He. The comments below were full of joy, full of praise and envy for the banquet. Some of the negative comments were because they involved him.
Jiang Rui: “…”
He pursed his lips, didn't reply, and then hesitantly and nervously clicked on another person's Weibo...
So this is what he looks like when he's asleep? So ugly!
The gauze on his head was bulging, his face was pale, and he looked miserable and not majestic at all!
The young man couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and his eyebrows and eyes were bright.
Second sister has really proved it for him!
Xihe glanced at the boy who was grinning foolishly on the bed. After understanding the rules of this world, she took the simplest and most effective action: posting Jiang Rui's photo on the original owner's dynamics.
As long as netizens saw her statement, they knew that Jiang Rui was not lying.
However, although it temporarily stopped the outside world from gossiping, the real problem was not solved.
Jiang Rui ended up like that because of the cold-eyed observation of the upper class, the online explosion of netizens without their knowledge, and the indifference and favoritism of Sanjiang's family, which was the most important and hurtful thing.
As long as the Jiang family treats Jiang Chen and Jiang Rui differently, Jiang Rui will be in danger and on the verge of collapse, and will eventually be driven crazy.
Buzz buzz buzz——
Just then the phone suddenly vibrated.
Jiang Rui looked at the incoming call on his phone, feeling somewhat bewildered: "Second sister, Jiang, Achen is looking for you."
Xihe took the phone and walked to the window. As soon as the call was connected, a clear and clean voice came to her ear, full of joy: "Second sister, where are you? I brought you your favorite strawberry pudding~"
It was jumping around and seemed to be going upstairs.
"Need not."
Jiang Chen was stunned and stopped.
Xihe said: "Arui is injured, I am with him in the hospital."
Jiang Chen immediately asked hurriedly: "How is A'Rui? Is it serious? What did the doctor say? Dad said it was okay after a fall, but I didn't expect..."
With a regretful tone, he said, "If I had known, I would have stayed."
Xihe looked out the window and said calmly, "I hit my head. The doctor said it's a concussion. I need to be hospitalized for observation."
Jiang Chen suddenly became more anxious and hurriedly said that he would come right over, but was rejected by Xihe.
Jiang Chen had no choice but to say, "Then I'll ask Auntie to make some soup and bring it over while she takes care of A Rui. Sister, you've been busy for so long, you must be very tired."
Xihe didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.
The phone was quiet for a moment. Just as Xihe was about to hang up, Jiang Chen spoke up, jokingly asking, "Second sister, I just saw you posted on Weibo. It was a solo photo of Arui."
“You’ve never sent me a picture before.”
"Second sister." Jiang Chen pouted, as if complaining or acting coquettishly, "You're biased. Do you love me less now that you have a younger brother?"
He had asked this deliberately, hoping to get Xihe to say, "Even though she has a biological brother, she still loves him the most, so that he can feel at ease." But he heard the other end of the phone say, "Yes."
"What?"
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment.
Xihe turned his head to look at the hospital bed. The boy was instantly frightened and looked guilty as if he had been caught doing something wrong.
Xihe retracted her gaze: "I will favor Jiang Rui from now on."
Jiang Chen: “…”
Jiang Rui: Eh???
He stared with his round eyes, suspecting that he was hallucinating.
Just now, my second sister said that she would be partial to him in the future?
He had just chosen the photos and hadn't had time to post an update when Jiang Chen called. He instantly became anxious.
What would Jiang Chen say? Would his second sister abandon him and leave?
He knew that Jiang Chen was the most likable person in the whole family, and even the exposure of his identity had no effect on him.
Everyone was even worried that he would be sad because of this, feeling that he was not a member of the Jiang family, uncomfortable in this family, blaming himself, and unable to sleep or eat.
Jiang Rui was so anxious that he wanted to put his ear into the phone, but what he heard was...
Jiang Rui: Feeling dazed.
Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't say anything, Xihe simply hung up the phone.
Jiang Chen clutched his phone, the smile on his face disappearing little by little. Biased, Jiang Rui?
"Master, are you still going?"
The driver asked cautiously.
Jiang Chen glanced at him, and a look of worry suddenly appeared on his face: "I'll go later. A Rui hasn't eaten yet in the hospital. I'll bring some porridge over." He turned around and hurried into the house.
-
Inside the ward, Jiang Rui finished posting the status update absentmindedly, with no intention of reading netizens' reactions. He only glanced at Xihe from time to time, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Xihe raised his eyes and asked him, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Rui hesitated to speak, then spoke after a long pause, "Second sister, you just said you would be partial to me..."
He immediately lowered his head, digging into the quilt with his fingers, biting his lip in panic. Shouldn't he have asked that? Maybe his second sister just had a conflict with Jiang Chen and was deliberately trying to piss him off?
He is not good at studying, has an unpleasant personality, and is inferior to Jiang Chen in every way. How could the second sister be partial to him?
"Yes, I will be partial to you from now on. Whatever you want to do, just go for it. I will always support you."
Jiang Rui suddenly raised his head and looked at the person in front of him in shock.
Xihe smiled and said, "Take a rest."
