Don't be sad
"Those people in the ancestral land are the chosen ones whom everyone is fighting to protect. Their future is the future of the Jiang family, and we..."
Jiang Shuangyu smiled, tears welling up in her eyes, "We are their assistants, we are their future lackeys, and our current competition and efforts... are to become the ones who bite the most fiercely in their hands.
"From the beginning to the future, people like us are destined to fawn on them."
She lifted Jiang Shuangli's buried face, looked into his eyes, and said, "You think Jiang Yunshu doesn't care about us, that Jiang Yunshu looks down on us, but any one of those people in the ancestral land is like this."
"Jiang Shuangli." She called his name softly and said, "I'm really fine, I just... understand."
Rather than keeping your pride and waiting to be crushed by the chosen ones of your homeland in the future, it is better to break it down bit by bit now.
Jiang Shuangyu smiled and said, "I accept my fate."
Jiang Shuangli burst into tears immediately.
…………
Since that day, they got along very happily. It’s not about how close they were to Jiang Yunshu, but at least they got along peacefully, smiling and passing each other.
From this perspective, Jiang Yunshu is doing well. Others don't bother her, and she won't bother others either.
Be quiet and don't ask them to do anything.
But there was only one thing. Except for Jiang Yunshu, everyone living under the same roof had different thoughts, but they all hinted and urged each other in both open and covert ways.
I want to find out the truth.
"Clouds."
At the dinner table, my adoptive mother smiled gently and called out, "Your adoptive father was telling me yesterday that we were so rushed and unprepared the last time the Patriarch came. When will he come to pick you up this time? We can make preparations as early as possible."
This is what it means to be impatient.
He had asked questions in a roundabout way, and Jiang Yunshu didn't know whether he didn't understand or what the meaning was, so he just spoke softly and got away with it.
Every time, they tried their best but got nothing out of their question.
As the months passed, they finally couldn't stand it anymore and insisted on getting an answer today.
Jiang Yunshu didn't stop his movements. He raised his eyes slowly and said calmly, "It depends on what the patriarch wants."
Such perfunctory words again!
The smile on the woman's face was slightly distorted with anger.
Didn't the ancestral land just lose interest in Jiang Yunshu after not thinking about him for a few months? But they couldn't force him to ask.
It is the ancestral land’s business if they don’t take the initiative to deal with it, but if Jiang Yunshu takes the initiative to go and complain, who can guarantee what the ancestral land’s reaction will be?
They didn't dare to force Jiang Yunshu, nor did they dare to gamble on the reaction of the ancestral land. They were even more afraid...
If Jiang Yunshu really became worthless, after being reminded by them, would the ancestral land realize this matter belatedly and no more resources and opportunities would be sent to him.
"You don't know either, do you?"
Jiang Shuangli suddenly said in a calm tone, "Does the Patriarch ignore you?"
"Double gift!" The adoptive mother looked surprised and screamed.
Jiang Shuangli didn't react much, just said "Oh", and said to Jiang Yunshu calmly: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. I just want to say that the head of the family really doesn't care about you anymore. If you tell us, maybe we can help you."
Jiang Yunshu ate his meal calmly and said "hmm" casually.
Whether she was trying hard not to show embarrassment or was really confident of winning, several people didn't know what she meant.
The restaurant was quiet for a while.
Normally, I would stop Jiang Yunshu on the road and talk about these things, and Jiang Yunshu would just respond casually and leave. There is really no better time than now!
Several people's eyes flickered.
Jiang Qili smiled faintly, as if trying to make amends for Jiang Shuangli, and said, "You know Shuangli is a straightforward person, and he's worried that you're not very good at speaking. Don't be sad, and don't take his words to heart."
"He's just not good at talking. Don't be too sad." Jiang Shuangyu nodded and smiled at Jiang Yunshu in a friendly manner. "He's just too worried about you. If you really have any difficulties, you must tell us. We are family after all."
Jiang Shuangli seemed to realize the inappropriateness of his words and nodded, saying, "Yes, I'm just worried that you'll be sad because of the Patriarch's matter."
Jiang Yunshu remained calm and silent.
The foster mother immediately said, "It's okay, Yunshu. The master is just too busy. He definitely won't ignore you on purpose. Don't think too much about it."
After she finished speaking, tears flickered in her eyes, and she looked at Jiang Yunshu evasively with a look of pity mixed with heartache.
"Yes, Yunshu." Jiang Qili quickly agreed, "The Patriarch was so good to you before. No matter how busy he was, he would come to see you. He would never abandon you, for sure, for sure..."
Jiang Qili looked away, a look of pity on her face, and her voice unconsciously lowered: "It must be just... too busy."
"It's okay, you still have us." Jiang Shuangyu smiled at Jiang Yunshu and comforted him, "We are a family."
Jiang Shuangli nodded in agreement.
Their eyes showed sympathy and pity, and they subconsciously wanted to look at her, but seemed to remember something and turned away reluctantly.
They said, "Don't be sad."
Jiang Yunshu sat there calmly, his dark eyes looking at them calmly.
But, she is not sad?
Jiang Yunshu did not explain these to them. She was not someone who liked to explain or analyze herself to others.
What they think is their business, what does it have to do with her?
For several days thereafter.
Her adoptive mother and Jiang Qili always looked at her evasively with eyes of pity and sympathy. When they appeared in front of her, they always looked cautious as if they were worried that she would be upset, and they kept saying "don't be sad" in their words.
It was as if they had assumed she was sad.
They followed her like shadows from time to time, especially when she went out onto the terrace to get some fresh air.
They looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping themselves several times. When she left the terrace, they finally spoke cautiously, seemingly unable to hold back any longer:
"You should be more enthusiastic towards your parents."
"The Patriarch doesn't dislike you, but you can't always wait for him to contact you. He's very busy, and there are many children in the ancestral land. If you take the initiative and show some enthusiasm, he will definitely continue to like you."
"Although there are many children in the ancestral land, even if you are like this, the head of the family must like you the most."
"The master will not abandon you."
"Don't be sad."
Jiang Yunshu was tired of listening, and his heart suddenly felt tired.
There was a bitter taste in my mouth, as if something was stuck in my throat, my heart felt stuffy, and my heart suddenly felt a sharp pain.
She seemed really sad.
…………
Jiang Yunshu fell ill, and his illness came as suddenly as a storm, catching everyone in the house off guard.
They knew that Jiang Yunshu was frail and had been carefully caring for her for many years. They had seen her complexion gradually improve, so how could she suddenly become so ill now?
A dark cloud of panic covered the house.
"What should we do? How could he be so sick? Should we tell the people back in our ancestral land?"
In the closed room, the woman asked anxiously.
The man sat on the sofa, raised the glass of wine and drank in silence.
"Speak up! Don't you usually pride yourself on being smart? Why are you so unsure now?" The woman snatched the cup from his hand. "After so many days without any improvement, we can only let the people of the ancestral land find a solution. But with Jiang Yunshu in this state, will the ancestral land directly vent its anger on us?"
The man didn't react at all after his cup was taken away. He looked dejected and silent for a moment before saying, "If anything happens to Jiang Yunshu, the ancestral land will definitely not let us go."
The woman stopped her anxious steps, breathed a sigh of relief, said "I'll contact them", and was about to walk out.
"Wait." The man suddenly stopped her and said, "Tell Jiang Yunshu to call the Patriarch and find a way... to get him to come over."
The woman paused for a moment, looked at him deeply, agreed and walked out.
Even at this time, he still didn't forget to test Jiang Yunshu's status in the master's heart...
The Jiang family is the most cold-hearted and cruel.
Fifth floor.
"Yunshu, Yunshu, can you hear mommy?"
The woman asked softly, holding Jiang Shuying's phone in one hand and patting the girl on the bed with the other.
The girl's face flushed, her eyes were closed, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she gasped with her mouth slightly open, not knowing whether she heard anything or not.
The woman paused, looked at the received call on her phone, gritted her teeth, turned on the video camera and aimed it at Jiang Yunshu.
She shook Jiang Yunshu, holding up her phone, and called softly, "Yunshu, Yunshu, the master of the family is here. Come and talk to him on the phone..."
Jiang Yunshu was in a daze, his perception was blurred, and the sounds from the outside world came intermittently.
She vaguely heard it, but she no longer had the ability to think about what the voice meant, let alone respond.
"Yun Shu, are you feeling very uncomfortable?"
"Yun Shu, Yun Shu? Tell the Patriarch quickly what's wrong with you..."
The woman looked at the girl in front of her who didn't respond at all, and the one who answered the phone without saying a word. She raised her phone calmly and pinched Jiang Yunshu's arm with her other hand.
She called out in a worried voice, "Yun Shu, please say something! The Patriarch is right here. Tell him why you suddenly became so ill!"
Jiang Yunshu didn't move and didn't respond.
A prompt tone suddenly sounded.
The woman looked down at her phone. The call... was hung up?
…………
Jiang family's ancestral land.
At the evening celebration banquet, the head of the Jiang family hurried out the door with his cell phone in hand.
Suddenly, several young men called out to him from behind: "Master, where are you going?"
The Jiang family patriarch stopped and turned to smile at them apologetically, "I have something to deal with suddenly, you..."
"Master!"
The teenagers looked at him with aggrieved and dissatisfied expression, "You clearly agreed to celebrate with us tonight! And Brother Qing even won first place!"
As they were talking, a few people came over from a distance.
The noble young man in the lead heard this and immediately frowned. With red eyes, he looked at the Jiang family head with dissatisfaction, "It's just one night. What can't wait?!"
The young men all echoed, "That's right, what could be more important than Brother Qing?! This was agreed upon from the beginning, Patriarch, please stay!"
They looked at him eagerly.
These children are the Jiang family's true top talents and the future of the Jiang family.
The Jiang family patriarch paused, put away his phone, and smiled gently at them, "Okay, nothing is more important than you."
