"I refuse."
In the side hall of the Jiang family, Jiang Xuxu looked at Guan Qishen and refused without hesitation.
Guan Qishen was obviously stunned for a moment and even thought he had heard it wrong.
"What did you say?"
"I said, I-refuse." Seeing that he seemed to have trouble hearing, Jiang Xuxu kindly repeated it to him word by word.
Guan Qishen's face immediately turned unhappy.
Including last time, this was the second time Xuxu disobeyed him.
"Xu Xu, don't be so mad. I know you're still angry about the day your mother asked you to leave the Guan family, but we're all family. Besides, if it weren't for your parents, you wouldn't be able to return to the Jiang family now."
Jiang Xuxu glanced at him and said, "According to you, I should be grateful to you?"
Just as Guan Qishen was about to speak, Jiang Xuxu interrupted him bluntly, "Besides, you and I are no longer a family. My last name is Jiang now."
"Even if you recognize your biological parents, we are still a family!" Guan Qishen frowned, "Or are you really like they said, now that you have become the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, you don't want to recognize us?"
Jiang Xuxu just looked at him like that and asked calmly, "What if I say yes?"
…
When Jiang Su went downstairs to get some freshly squeezed juice, he saw Jiang Han leaning against the railing on the second floor stairs, watching something as if he was watching a show. He just walked closer and happened to hear what Jiang Xuxu said.
The Jiang family villa has a living room in the front and back. The main hall in the front is usually used for family gatherings or receiving guests and is more formal. The side hall in the back is relatively small and faces the railing on the second floor. In other words, if you look down from the second floor, you can clearly see what's going on in the side hall.
Jiang Su almost forgot about the juice instantly and twisted his body to move over.
The two heads were put together listening to the gossip downstairs.
Downstairs, Jiang Xuxu still had that somewhat cold attitude, and only said, "I said the day I left the Guan family that I have nothing to do with you anymore. Even if I'm not the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, I don't want to recognize you."
Guan Qishen's expression became very ugly for a moment because of Jiang Xuxu's words, but he quickly restrained himself and said in a deep voice,
"Xu Xu, I've heard about what happened at the banquet. No matter what your parents did, they raised you. You were so impatient that you even cut off ties with the Guan family in front of so many people. Do you know how much it hurts them? Your parents never quarreled before, but they quarreled so much because of you that day that they fell ill."
Guan Qishen first lectured with a stern face, then slowed down his tone, "Even so, they didn't blame you, and were willing to let me bring grandma's bracelet to you, Xuxu, your parents are really good to you, you shouldn't always be so unsatisfied."
The veins on Jiang Xuxu's forehead jumped slightly.
She used to think that Guan Qishen was the only normal person in the Guan family. After all, from childhood to adulthood, Guan Qishen would never deliberately suppress her or cause her to be scolded like Guan Ruirui did. Instead, he would take the initiative to care about her studies, give her birthday presents, and even occasionally comfort her when she was punished by Bai Shuqin.
It was also because of this that she tried to treat Guan Qishen as her own brother, doing various things for him, trying to get a little warmth from him.
But she found out later.
Guan Qishen is not who he thinks he is.
He cared about her studies only because he didn't want her to lose face for the Guan family. The birthday gift he gave her was given to her by his admirer but she didn't want it. He comforted her to stop her from making a fuss.
Guan Qishen just knows how to disguise his hypocrisy and selfishness better than the Guan family.
From this point of view, he and Guan Baocheng are indeed father and son.
"That bracelet was originally left to me by my grandmother. You wanted me to help you, so I just asked Guan Ruirui to return the things she stole from me to me personally. I have been very good to you, so why are you so ungrateful?"
Jiang Xuxu bluntly repeated Guan Qishen's words to the other party. Jiang Su upstairs almost couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard it, but fortunately he covered his mouth in time to hold it back.
The two people downstairs still seemed unaware.
Guan Qishen frowned, "Rui Rui is injured! Very seriously!"
"What does that have to do with me?"
Guan Qishen looked at her in disbelief, "Xu Xu! How did you become like this now?! Rui Rui is your sister after all. She has called you sister for more than ten years!"
Jiang Xuxu just looked at him, with a sneer on his face, and his tone was even more mocking, "I can't afford a sister who pushed her sister out to get hit by a car in order to avoid disaster."
She didn't tell anyone about the car accident that day.
Because she knew that no one would believe her even if she told her.
The car accident, which Bai Shuqin called Guan Ruirui's disaster at the age of 18, was aimed at Guan Ruirui from the beginning. However, the moment Guan Ruirui saw the car hitting her, her first reaction was to push her out.
But neither Bai Shuqin nor Guan Ruirui had expected that she could actually survive the car accident.
Just as Jiang Xuxu expected, Guan Qishen's first reaction when he heard this was disbelief.
"What nonsense are you talking about?! How could Ruirui do such a thing?!"
"Xu Xu, I understand that you feel unbalanced after the car accident, but you can't just blame it on others."
"You said Ruirui pushed you to block the car, why didn't you say anything at the time?"
"Let's take a step back and say that even if Ruirui really did that, it was just because she was too scared at the time and it was an unconscious action. As a sister, what's wrong with you protecting Ruirui from the disaster? Why do you always have to be so fussy?"
Guan Qishen gave a lecture, his tone full of condemnation and disappointment towards Jiang Xuxu, which left Jiang Su upstairs dumbfounded.
When he heard the other party accusing Jiang Xuxu of being "stingy", the young man lost his composure completely.
"Oh my god, look at my bad temper!"
While cursing, he rolled up his sleeves and turned to run downstairs. He moved so fast that even Jiang Han couldn't catch him in time.
It was at this moment that Guan Qishen downstairs seemed to suddenly realize the existence of people upstairs, and his expression changed slightly.
In comparison, Jiang Xuxu's reaction was much calmer, and it was obvious that he had known about it for a long time.
Meanwhile, Jiang Su had already come downstairs, and rushed into the side hall with his slippers hanging down, pointing at Guan Qishen and starting to curse.
"Fuck your dad! Is there something seriously wrong with your Guan family? The woman is so vicious and the man is so hypocritical! Your sister pushed her out and got hit by a car, and she's so petty when she mentions it. Why don't you go out and get hit by a car?
Oh, seeing your arm hanging, you must have been hit by a car. Why did you only take care of your hand when you were in the hospital and didn't ask the doctor to check your brain? I'm afraid your brain must have been damaged a long time ago?"
