Chapter 100 Do Me a Favor
Fan Ailing gave a smile that was hard to describe, and said casually, "His daughter is about my age, right?"
!!
Jiang Jiani's values were shattered into pieces.
She couldn't help but peek over the wall and whispered, "He's your father, your biological father. I even went to see you when you were born with your aunt. How could he treat you like this?"
Fan Ailing glanced at Jiang Jiani and smiled strangely: "Because he's obsessed with officialdom."
If you can't become an official yourself, then being able to establish a connection with one will do.
She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Cousin, I have something to tell you, but don't be angry."
“When I was at home, I heard my dad say several times that it was a waste for you to marry my brother-in-law.”
"You can't even arrange a job for Brother Haibing, you're a heartless ingrate."
“There are some other things that are even more offensive, but I won’t teach them to you.”
Jiang Jianni suppressed the urge to strangle Fan Junshan and asked, "Where's your mother? What was her reaction when she heard your father say that?"
Fan Ailing scoffed: "What kind of reaction could she possibly have?"
"My mom listened to my dad her whole life."
"She thinks even her dad's farts smell good."
Does she always act like a nice guy in front of you?
“But when my dad talks about you at home, she also calls you an ingrate.”
Jiang Jianni: "..."
Perhaps Jiang Jiani's words sparked her desire to share, because Fan Ailing continued:
“She treats me like this because you’re her niece, but I’m her own daughter, born from her womb, and she hasn’t done anything to me.”
“My dad introduced me to this girl, and she actually tried to persuade me by saying that my dad was doing it for my own good and that I should be obedient.”
She sneered: "Then why didn't she listen to the advice and marry my dad when Grandpa was introducing her to potential partners?"
Of the five sons-in-law, Grandpa Yang disliked Fan Junshan the most.
I think he's too cunning and likes to take the wrong path.
When Fan Junshan and Yang Yuezhi were dating, Grandpa Yang even tried to break them up.
However, he was not a heartless person; if Yang Yuezhi cried, he could only let her be.
The only saving grace was that, although Fan Junshan was really not a good person, he was genuinely good to Yang Yuezhi.
Even after becoming wealthy, he didn't follow others' example and engage in illicit affairs.
The two of them made quite a stir when they were dating; Jiang Jianni had heard about it several times since she was a child.
Jiang Jianni sighed.
No one can do anything about having parents like that.
Jiang Jianni rallied her spirits and advised her, "Even if you want to leave, you don't necessarily have to go abroad."
"I remember you always managed to get a passing grade of 60 on your English exams, right?"
Moreover, at this time, most students learning foreign languages were essentially learning them in a "mute" way.
Jiang Jianni had heard Fan Ailing read English texts aloud; even the simplest sentence, "how are you," would have been unrecognizable to her if she hadn't looked at the text.
"You can't even speak the basics of eating, drinking, and using the toilet properly. How will you live in a foreign country where everything is in English?"
"And have you thought about the food situation abroad?"
Fan Ailing was as naive as anyone who had never been abroad: "Don't people in foreign countries eat bread and sandwiches every day? I think I could eat them every day without any problem."
Jiang Jianni sighed: "Foreign bread is quite different from the bread made in China."
"Foreign breads that are considered a staple food don't have any flavor at all."
"It's not as good as our big steamed buns."
Fan Ailing was taken aback: "Impossible, right?"
"Really, why would I lie to you?"
“I have a college roommate who went abroad, and the letters he wrote to me were all complaining about the food and drink there.”
"If you don't believe me, come to my house later and I'll show you."
This is true, absolutely no exaggeration.
Although there are only two letters, they came from overseas, so it's quite remarkable that there are two.
Jiang Jianni was a little puzzled: "Besides, if you just want to hide, you can just find a place to live. As long as you deliberately avoid your parents, they won't be able to find you even if you live on the same street."
Why do we have to go abroad?
Thirty years from now, with such advanced technology, there will still be international students dying in accidents every year.
Fan Ailing was only eighteen or nineteen years old. She was in a strange place with no relatives or friends and couldn't speak the language. The key point was that she was also beautiful, so the chances of something happening to her were even greater.
Fan Ailing's pretty face turned pale at what she said: "You're not just kidding me, are you? My classmate said that life abroad is great."
Jiang Jianni scoffed: "What good will it do me to coax you?"
Just as Fan Ailing was about to ask more in-depth questions about things abroad, Jiang Yanni came to find them:
"What are you all doing hiding inside? Come out and play cards!"
The two had no choice but to go outside.
Although Grandpa Yang had a very dignified face, he was actually very indulgent towards the children in his family.
They didn't stop the children from playing cards.
After lunch, everyone started making dumplings, and after that, they played cards and mahjong.
They dispersed after finishing their dumplings around 5 or 6 p.m.
Lu Xiangyang and Jiang Jianni stayed at the Jiang family home for three days before returning home, as Jiang Jianni complained that the house was too crowded.
When she left, Jiang Yanni's eyes were red, and she grabbed her sleeve, not wanting her to go.
Back at the Lu family home, Jiang Jianni was finally able to speak her mind and gave Fan Junshan a thorough dressing-down.
After she finished venting her anger, Lu Xiangyang asked, "Then will you help your cousin?"
Jiang Jianni sighed, "I do sympathize with her, but what can I do to help her?"
If Fan Ailing wants to borrow money or get tutoring, that's no problem.
But she wanted to break away from her family.
I still want to go abroad!
Even if Jiang Jianni had the greatest courage in the world, she wouldn't dare to help her with this.
Whether she has the ability to help is another matter, but if something happens to her, how can she bear the responsibility?
Lu Xiangyang: "Thank goodness, I was really worried that you would impulsively agree to help her."
Jiang Jianni pushed him and said reproachfully, "I'm not a child anymore, I know what I'm doing."
Lu Xiangyang smiled: "Do you have the sense to rush forward just because you see a thief?"
Jiang Jianni blushed slightly: "I just spoke up because I saw injustice on the road. Besides, I didn't actually chase after them. Didn't I just back down?"
Lu Xiangyang just smiled and didn't say anything.
Jiang Jianni was so angry that she couldn't help but bite his neck with a "woof".
Lu Xiangyang gasped, "You, you, in broad daylight..."
Jiang Jianni retorted matter-of-factly, "What's wrong? It's just a mosquito bite, why are you so upset?"
Lu Xiangyang stared at the giant human-shaped mosquito, speechless.
Aside from moving from the Jiang family to the Lu family, the New Year passed uneventfully.
Seeing a bunch of naughty kids at the start of the new school year didn't dampen my good mood.
She didn't see Jiang Haibing squatting at the school gate smoking until she got off work.
Jiang Haibing looked exhausted and haggard, and his appearance was much more disheveled: "Jiani, do me a favor."
