Chapter 109 Let Her Go
"Sister Zhang, Sister Wang, why aren't you cleaning up? Look at the mess this room has made. It's going to be a mess when guests come. Aunt Li, get a basin and put these pickled peppers away. After washing them, you can eat them again. It's okay, it's not dirty. I've been thinking about it for days since Sister Jiang called and said she could make it."
Jiang Fengxi asked the nanny to clean up first.
Then she stepped forward and took Jiang Wan's hand, "Wanwan, come, help mom clean up. Oh, yes, look at me, I was so anxious that I forgot to introduce the guests. Xiaojiang, Xiaoyu, this is Wanwan, my daughter.
Wanwan, this is Xiaojiang, the son of your good friend Aunt Wen, and Xiaoyu.
Aunt Wen and the others heard me showing off the local specialties your Jiang family parents brought, and they all asked me for them. Xiao Jiang and the others came to get them."
It was quite a coincidence that Jiang Wan's adoptive father's family also had the surname Jiang. His adoptive parents ran a small business and were very active people. They knew the situation on Jiang Fengxi's side and did not force the child to choose either side.
On the contrary, it helped to repair the relationship between mother and daughter. Jiang Fengxi made a conscious effort to make friends with them, and they got along quite well. The two Jiang mothers would video chat from time to time. Most of the time, they would also drag Jiang Wan along for a group video chat.
"Jiang Wan, hello."
Ye Mengyu and Jiang Fanyu took the initiative to pick up the local specialties scattered on the ground.
Ye Mengyu took the initiative to greet Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan saw that there were guests and Jiang Fengxi had just said that, and she didn't seem to be disgusted with those things at all.
It was not at all what Jiang Qing had said before. He brought anything dirty and smelly to present as a treasure, and acted extremely disgusted.
Is there anything else I don’t understand?
She was able to get into Beijing University and study for a master's degree. Her brains were not exchanged for emotional intelligence.
Nowadays, college students, no matter how academically proficient they are, have to have some personal hobbies. Especially those like her who come from a well-off family and don't need to work to earn money, have relatively more spare time, so it's normal for them to read novels, comics, gossip, etc.
Maybe I didn’t react before.
At this point, if you don’t react, you’d be a fool.
"Are you Ye Mengyu? The daughter of the richest man?"
Jiang Wan widened his eyes and looked at Ye Mengyu.
Ye Mengyu smiled and nodded, "Yes. But it's better not to call her the richest girl, it's very embarrassing. Just call her the eldest lady, it suits my temperament better."
Puff.
Jiang Wan burst out laughing.
But I immediately endured it and had just picked up most of the things scattered on the ground.
She looked at Jiang Fengxi who was still collecting the bottom layer of kimchi and said, "Mom, don't take the bottom layer. My mom also mailed it to me. I'll bring you that bottle next time I come."
Jiang Fengxi immediately stood up with a smile, handed the basin in her hand to Aunt Li, and left the rest of the work to the nanny. "Hey, hey, hey, okay."
Then she started to talk about something, "Wanwan also knows Xiaoyu. What a coincidence. By the way, didn't your boyfriend just go back to the Song family to recognize his relatives? Xiaoyu was there at the time."
Ye Mengyu immediately responded, "Song Zexi is Wanwan's boyfriend? Sure, Sister Wanwan, you have such a good eye."
Jiang Wan blushed at what she said.
On the other side, Jiang Qing saw that no one paid attention to her. She wanted to cry to Jiang Fengxi, but after seeing Jiang Fanyu come in, she stood up bravely, and fumbled to tidy up her skirt, trying to wipe off the stains from the kimchi soup. However, the more she wiped, the dirtier it became. She was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She looked pitiful, as if she had been bullied by someone.
It looks like a delicate little white flower.
"Brother Jiang~"
With her voice clamped, she greeted Jiang Fanyu in a wronged tone, her eyes no longer focused on anyone else.
Jiang Fanyu acted as if he didn't hear or see anything. He put everything on the coffee table and sat obediently next to Ye Mengyu, pretending to be invisible.
[Oh my god, why is this even included? The voice was actually quite normal when he was playing the victim just now. Who are you trying to annoy?
No, was Aunt Jiang under a spell? A powerful businesswoman, she'd even performed tea art like this, and yet she couldn't tell? Could she still be fooled?
Ugh, I won't tolerate this bad habit. Even if Aunt Jiang doesn't like it, I'll take her to see an eye doctor when she's older.
"Hey, Miss White Lotus, who are you? Did you hurt your throat? Or do you do splits when you see a man? My boss Jiang is allergic to green tea and suffers from White Lotus vertigo. Can you please restrain your magical powers? Wait until we leave before you perform again. I really can't stand this poor acting..."
Kaka typed quickly and directly.
The room was completely silent, and everyone seemed to have been struck by a bullet, not knowing how to react.
"Wow... Ye Mengyu, what's so great about you? You just rely on your dad being the richest man. Why do you curse at me?"
Jiang Qing burst into tears and questioned Ye Mengyu loudly, but her eyes were looking at Jiang Fanyu, with obvious intention of complaining.
Jiang Wan opened her mouth and looked back and forth between Jiang Qing and Ye Mengyu. How could the interactions between the daughters of wealthy families be so similar to the quarrels between the aunties in the vegetable market in her hometown?
That's not what's written in the novel...
The embarrassment on Jiang Fengxi's face was almost visible.
Ye Mengyu raised his head and replied very firmly, "Yes, I rely on my father being Zhou Wenqu. I am amazing and can scold you if I want. Who made me a good reincarnationist? I know you are envious of me. You don't have it yourself, but you don't cherish the pie that fell from the sky and have to snatch it from the original owner. I don't know where you get such a big face.
What's your reason? Your shamelessness, your selfishness, your tendency to bully the kind and honest? Or your lack of self-awareness?
You clearly poured it yourself, yet you still want to blame others? Do you think no one is watching?
This is what you can handle.
Why don't you go up to heaven and say that it's an invitation letter from Chang'e?"
“You…you…you…”
Jiang Qing kept talking for a long time, but she was really afraid of Ye Mengyu's identity as the daughter of the richest man, so she didn't dare to talk back.
"Brother Jiang, she bullied me..."
Ye Mengyu couldn't help herself and threw the pillow beside her, hitting Jiang Qing in the face. "I told you to shut up, didn't you hear? Why are you being so flirtatious to someone else's man?"
Then he said to Jiang Fengxi, "Aunt Jiang, I think genes are really important. Look at how good Wanwan is, simple, steady, and graceful. But with Jiang Qing's appearance, I don't believe that your child, unless she has bad genes, could grow up like this."
If Aunt Jiang still doesn't come to her senses after all this, then she's a damned idiot. I'm being so close to her, even though we're just strangers. I'm just being nice to her because I'm just being nice to her. And I empathize with Jiang Wan, the victim. I can't bear to see her grow up so well and become so outstanding. Just because I recognize her as a relative, she becomes unlucky. Why?
No matter how much Jiang Fengxi loves the daughter she has raised for twenty years, she is not to the point of not knowing right from wrong.
No matter how much you adopt someone, you can never be as close to them as your own flesh and blood. Besides, Jiang Wan is so outstanding.
The fake daughter treated her like a fool and deceived her own daughter right in front of her.
What kind of person would I be if I continued to favor her?
"All these years, I've only been thinking about doing business, making money, and having a child. Besides giving her money, I haven't really educated Jiang Qing much, and haven't instilled in her the right values."
After explaining to Ye Mengyu and the other two, he turned to Jiang Qing, "But, Jiang Qing, I've paid for your education for so many years, giving you the best and most elite education. Didn't books teach you how to be a good person? Didn't school teach you what you can and can't do? Jiang Wan is my biological daughter, the biological daughter of your benefactor. No matter what you want to do to her, it's just repaying kindness with hatred. Didn't I teach you that?"
Also, does my Jiang family need you to eat or drink, so that you have to try hard to please others?
If you want something, work hard to earn it.
Xiaoyu is right. It's your bad luck that you didn't reincarnate into a good person's belly. You didn't give birth to everything. Since you look down on my family and still want to climb up, then leave.
The Jiang Family Temple is small, but it won’t stop you from climbing to the top.
"Sister Wang, Sister Zhang, go pack up Miss Jiang Qing's things and call the housekeeping company to clean up the room. Then call the decoration company to redecorate it."
Quick and decisive, he sent the person away immediately.
They are in their twenties and have already reached adulthood, so there is no obligation to support them.
If you don't want to stay, just leave.
Jiang Qing has two faces in front of people and behind their backs. The nanny and driver at home are treated like servants. They just want to earn a little money and don't want to offend her.
Now that Jiang Fengxi has given the order, what is there to understand? The cuckoo has occupied the magpie's nest and it must finally be returned to its rightful owner.
One by one, they went upstairs to clean up without hesitation.
The woman Jiang Fengxi called Aunt Li was an old lady who had worked in the family for almost twenty years, even longer than Jiang Qing had been in the family.
She was particularly discerning and asked the young nanny Xiao He to use her mobile phone to record the entire process of cleaning the room as evidence.
Jiang Qing only then realized that Jiang Fengxi was not fooled by her like before, but was siding with her and questioning her unfamiliar daughter Jiang Wan. She was going to get serious.
He slid down from the sofa to kneel in front of Jiang Fengxi, hugging her thighs. "Mom, don't chase me away, don't chase me away. I'm willing to give my sister whatever she wants. She can beat me or scold me, and I'll give it to her. But don't chase me away, I can't live without you. Mom, I love you, don't abandon me, don't abandon me..."
[Fuck! With such poor acting, she's still trying to portray life as a drama? Has she forgotten she's in her twenties, not a three-and-a-half-year-old? This pitiful, cutesy style makes her look like a brainless fool. Is her brain shrinking?]
Jiang Wan burst out laughing.
Jiang Fengxi was originally in a complicated mood, but now she couldn't help laughing. Why is this kid so mean?
She didn't want to say a word to Jiang Qing. Now she felt that saying anything more would be a waste of time and would make her look stupid.
He looked up and signaled the driver, "Take Jiang Qing upstairs to pack her luggage. If she doesn't want to pack, then just send her away."
Seeing Jiang Fengxi so heartless, Jiang Qing also did it, patted her skirt, "Mom, you raised me for so many years, and you turned against me so suddenly, I can't just leave like this, right? For so many years, I have made you happy and been filial to you, don't I deserve some mental damages? I don't ask for much, two hundred million.
Transfer the large flat next to my school to my name. We can go our separate ways from now on. I won't disturb your life as mother and daughter. Otherwise, after all these years, I still know a little about family affairs. Don't blame me for being ruthless.
Anyway, I have nothing and no face to lose.
"The worst that can happen is that both sides will perish, and I'll just lose my life. I'm an orphan anyway, no one wants me, no one cares about me, I have no ties, and I can just die."
Jiang Fengxi narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Qing like this, and did not speak for a few seconds.
Then she stood up and said, "Okay, come to the study and talk with me."
Before leaving, he told Jiang Wan, "Wanwan, you entertain Xiaojiang and Xiaoyu, and help choose things for Aunt Wen and the others. Xiaojiang, I'll take care of this matter, you guys can do whatever you want."
Jiang Fanyu responded, "Aunt Jiang, you are busy. We don't need to worry about it."
At first glance, it was obvious that they were frequent visitors and were as familiar with the place as if it were their own family.
…
"Brother Jiang, Yuyu, what do you want? Let me help you pick it out, okay?"
Jiang Wan really entertained them as the host.
Ye Mengyu explained Mrs. Jiang's requirements, "We need angelica and red dates. You can combine the rest as you see fit."
Then she reached out to help put them in order. Although she didn't recognize the others, she knew the dates. She took one and put it directly into her mouth to eat.
"Wow, this is so sweet, and it has a nice jujube flavor. Brother Yu, try it..."
He picked up one and stuffed it into Jiang Fanyu's mouth.
It’s really delicious.
Jiang Wan grinned at his carefree attitude, "It just fell on the ground, don't you want to wash it?"
"It's okay. Eating them even if they're not clean won't make you sick. Besides, these dates are obviously dried themselves. They won't taste good if they're washed. I've gone to the mountains with my mom to collect dates before. The more authentic the mountain produce, the more likely it is to be dried artificially. Everyone eats them right after they're picked. Why are you being so pretentious?"
Jiang Fanyu also said, "When I was filming in the mountains, when conditions were poor, I couldn't wash the dried goods, and I felt bad even if I couldn't rinse the vegetables. Later, I even donated 100 wells to the local area..."
Jiang Wan narrowed his eyes and smiled when they said this. "Well, when I was a kid at my grandparents' house, the dates my grandma dried were even more delicious than these. Every year, they were stolen before they could even dry. I ate half and the birds stole the other half. It's a pity that the tree at home is too old now and doesn't bear many dates anymore."
“Are these easy to buy in the market?”
Seeing that Jiang Wan could start a conversation about this topic, Ye Mengyu followed suit and started chatting with her.
"It's easy to buy. But I didn't buy this at the market. My dad asked my second grandfather to help dry it. My second grandfather is the old Party Secretary of our village, and he's quite a capable person."
"Anything else?"
"Yes. Every family in the village has a jujube tree. Now that life is better, no one relies on it to make a living. People in the city still love it, and every family keeps a lot to give to relatives. If we harvest it, we can get it all."
"That's great. Wanwan, help me contact someone and buy 2,000 kilograms. I'll charge the same price as the market for hand-dried dates from farmers. These are really delicious. I'm planning to give some benefits to the studio staff."
Jiang Fanyu reached out and took the half-eaten date from her hand and put it in his own mouth. "It's delicious, but you should take it easy. You've already eaten four. Watch your stomach. I really don't treat myself as an outsider. I'm ordering Wanwan around to make things convenient for you."
Jiang Wan was happy. "It's okay, it's okay. I'm happy to be ordered around."
She felt comfortable getting along like this.
I'd love to.
