"Young Miss." The man was a little confused. "Aren't you the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Rong?"
There was a sudden deathly silence all around.
The bracelet that she loved so much just now now felt like a golden hoop, weighing a thousand pounds on Jiang Panyu's wrist.
She knew that everyone was looking at her, so she tried to smile and said, "You're mistaken. I'm not Jiang Rong, I'm Jiang Panyu, the second daughter of the Jiang family..."
She pursed her lips and took off the bracelet on her wrist, and said with drooping eyelashes: "So this is a gift from Mr. Shang to Xiaorong. Really, how could there be such a misunderstanding? I'll..."
Jiang Peihong held her hand and said, "Why are you taking it off? Wear it."
Jiang Panyu widened her eyes: "But this bracelet is not for me..."
"It's you who's engaged to Mr. Shang, not Jiang Rong!" Jiang Peihong glanced at Jiang Rong with disdain. "This birthday gift from Mr. Shang must be for his fiancée. Is Jiang Rong his fiancée?"
"But……"
"Nothing to worry about." Jiang Peihong said, "It must be a mistake!"
"Sir, my daughter was mistakenly given away when she was little. Panyu is my biological child. Mr. Shang is busy with his work and may not know about this. Please tell Mr. Shang when you return that it is Panyu, not Jiang Rong, who is engaged to him."
The man was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that just delivering a gift would cause so much trouble. He said, "But Mr. Shang really wanted me to give it to Miss Jiang Rong."
"And Mr. Shang also knows that the Jiang family's daughter was taken away by mistake."
This last sentence was like a slap in Jiang Peihong's face.
He insisted that Shang Shaoheng's gift was for Jiang Panyu, but now the people from the Shang family have said clearly that the gift was for Jiang Rong and had nothing to do with Jiang Panyu.
Sensing everyone's gazes, Jiang Peihong's face stiffened, and he couldn't get off the stage. He coughed dryly and said, "There's no need to be so clear about the distinction between sisters... Xiaorong, although this thing is a gift for you, I think you don't mind if I lend it to your sister for fun?"
Jiang Rong knew that once Jiang Panyu wore it, she would never get it back. If it was something else, it would be fine, she would not bother to argue, but this bracelet looked very valuable...
"Dad, since you said it was my birthday present, it's inappropriate to give it to Panyu, isn't it?" Jiang Rong chuckled. "Those who know would say Panyu and I have a good relationship. Those who don't would think Dad hates me, his adopted daughter, so much that he even took away his adopted daughter's birthday present."
"You!" Jiang Peihong suppressed his temper and said, "Do you understand that if your last name wasn't Jiang, would Mr. Shang have sent you such an expensive gift?!"
"What can we do? The gifts have already been delivered." Jiang Rong smiled: "What we are discussing now is the ownership of this bracelet. Dad, why are you talking about other things?"
Jiang Panyu pursed her lips, took off the bracelet, and put it in Jiang Rong's hand: "Xiao Rong, this is your thing, keep it well."
Qiao Yixuan frowned and said to Jiang Rong, "Xiao Rong, it's just a bracelet. You're really disheartening to say that. Your biological mother passed away, and your father was worried that you wouldn't have a good life in the countryside, so he brought you back to take care of you. But now you're grabbing it and hating it..."
Jiang Peihong finally found a way out and said, "Right! Look at you now. Your mother loved you so much when you were a child, but now you want to make her sad, you bastard!"
Jiang Rong's smile disappeared.
She looked at Qiao Yixuan for a while, and suddenly her lips curved up, "Mom, do you really love me?"
Qiao Yixuan said excitedly, "What are you talking about?! Your dad is still saying that I'm the one who spoiled your lawless personality, and you're blaming me instead?!"
Tears welled up in her eyes as she turned and walked away. Jiang Panyu quickly caught up with her: "Mom!"
Jiang Peihong didn't want Jiang Rong to cause any more gossip here, so he glared at her: "Look at yourself, how mad you've made your mother! Why don't you go and apologize quickly, you disobedient and unfilial thing!"
Jiang Rong sneered, "Okay, then I'll go take a look."
…
Second floor.
When Jiang Rong opened the door, he saw Qiao Yixiuan sitting on the sofa wiping her tears, with Jiang Panyu comforting her beside her.
"Xiao Rong." Jiang Panyu frowned, "Hurry up and apologize to your mother."
Jiang Rong leaned against the door and didn't go in. He just said, "I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize?"
Jiang Panyu frowned even tighter: "You said that in front of so many people, aren't you accusing Mom of treating you badly? But the servants at home all said that Mom loves you the most and will give you whatever you want."
"Really?" Jiang Rong looked at Qiao Yixuan: "Mom, is that so?"
Qiao Yixuan gritted her teeth and said, "Of course it is!"
She saw the bracelet on Jiang Rong's hand and suddenly became even angrier. She stood up and stared at Jiang Rong: "Give it back to Xiaoyu!"
"Also?" Jiang Rong thought her choice of words was very interesting. "Isn't this my birthday present?"
"Yours?" Qiao Yixuan sneered, "This is a gift from Shang Shaoheng to his fiancée. Are you his fiancée? This is Xiaoyu's. Return it to her immediately!"
Jiang Rong looked at Jiang Panyu, "Panyu, do you also think that I should return it to you?"
Jiang Panyu avoided her gaze and said, "Mom is right. This is a birthday gift from Mr. Shang to his fiancée. You are not his fiancée, so this gift is certainly not yours."
"Then why didn't you say it outside just now?" Jiang Rong asked with interest: "Why did you close the door and dare to reveal your selfish side?"
