Chapter 18 No One Discriminates Against You

Chapter 18 No One Discriminates Against You

"Who the hell is your nephew? The Gu family is so rich, they could just give us something so we don't have to work day and night, but he refuses to give us anything." Xiao Yuexia said to Qin Rui angrily.

"He refused to give it to me, and there was nothing I could do." Qin Rui was a little annoyed by the noise, and waved his hand at Xiao Yuexia, "It was you who wanted to kick him out in the first place, and now he doesn't want to recognize us at all."

"You're talking like someone was willing to help someone raise a son. Besides, if I hadn't kicked him out, would he have had a chance to be taken in by that Gu guy? Would he have been able to live such a good life?" Xiao Yuexia became angrier the more she thought about it. "No, I don't want to do this job for a single day. I have to get some money from them."

Qin Rui looked at Xiao Yuexia: "How do we get it?"

"Since he is unwilling to give it, then we will go find the widow."

Qin Rui frowned: "What's the point of looking for that woman? She can't give us money."

"She won't, but his son and your nephew may." Xiao Yuexia raised an ambiguous smile at the corner of her lips.

——

12:00PM.

"Who did you go to see last night?" Jiang's mother helped her son get a bowl of soup. "Song Shiyang?"

"No." Jiang Fengyan took the soup from his mother and pulled out a chair to the side so that she could sit down and eat. "I knew her before."

"Classmate?" Jiang's mother asked cautiously.

Jiang Fengyan raised his eyes to look at Jiang's mother. Just as his gaze was about to turn cold, he caught a glimpse of the crow's feet at the corners of Jiang's mother's eyes. He lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and said, "I met her at the Fengcheng training camp before."

Jiang's mother: "Fengcheng training camp... I remember that only the top 50 students in the grade could go, right? So his grades shouldn't be too bad."

Jiang Fengyan ate his meal with a cold expression on his face and said reluctantly, "I don't know."

"Let him come over to our house for dinner when he's free. It doesn't matter if his grades are good or not, it's always good to have friends."

"Yeah." Jiang Fengyan responded without any expression. When the meal was over, he stood up and cleared the dishes. "I'll wash the dishes. You go sit in the living room for a while."

"No, I'll wash it, you just read..." Jiang's mother suddenly stopped talking halfway, looked up at Jiang Fengyan, and was relieved to find that his face didn't change. "Then you wash it, I'll watch TV for a while."

"Okay." Jiang Fengyan took the bowl into the kitchen and spent a few minutes washing it. When he came out, he found Jiang's mother sitting on the sofa in a daze.

"Mom." Jiang Fengyan took a tissue from the dining table, wiped his hands, threw it into the trash can, and walked over.

Jiang's mother looked at Jiang Fengyan and said, "Your aunt said that your brother ranked in the top three in his grade."

Jiang Fengyan was not surprised by the news: "I know."

"Why?" Jiang's mother's eyes became sharp. "He likes to play so much and didn't go to make-up classes during the holidays. Why is he still in the top three in the grade?"

As Jiang's mother finished speaking, Jiang Fengyan's pupils became darker.

His parents divorced because of different life concepts. His father Jiang Shengpei took his younger brother away, while he lived with his mother Chen Lixue.

Jiang Fengyan said calmly: "He has a strong learning ability."

Chen Lixue's voice became louder: "No matter how strong your ability is, what good will it be if you don't work hard?"

Jiang Fengyan: "It's impossible that he didn't try hard."

"He can't possibly work harder than you do."

Chen Lixue stood up and looked at her son, who was almost a head taller than her. "I have never been to school, and my ancestors were farmers for many generations. When I married your father, many people said that I was not worthy of him. Yes, after all, he graduated from a prestigious university, and his parents are also from a scholarly family, so I have to listen to them and endure their discrimination?"

Jiang Fengyan frowned: "No one discriminates against you."

"How could it be possible? Don't think I don't know what they are thinking."

The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became tense, and Jiang Fengyan couldn't help feeling a little irritated.

He had heard similar words many times, but no matter what he said his mother would not agree with him.

"I don't believe in genes determining everything or being born noble or humble. I only believe that I must fight for what I want at all costs." Chen Lixue broke the silence and said, "So I have been forcing you to study, not only to prove that hard work is useful, but also to prevent you from being discriminated against in the future."

“…”

Jiang Fengyan knew very well that no matter what he said, it would be useless and might even arouse his mother's emotions, so he just looked at Chen Lixue with complicated eyes and did not refute.

"Do you regret not going with your father?" Chen Lixue didn't wait for Jiang Fengyan's response and said, "Your father's family is so rich, and he is also a high-level intellectual. It will be so prestigious to go out with him. It's better than me who is useless..."

"If I regretted it, I would have left already." Seeing Chen Lixue getting more and more extreme, Jiang Fengyan immediately interrupted her and said, "Don't think too much."

Chen Lixue looked at Jiang Fengyan hesitantly, and it was obvious that she had a lot more to say, but she was worried that it would make the mother-son relationship between her and Jiang Fengyan more and more strained, so she reluctantly gave up.

Jiang Fengyan waited until Chen Lixue calmed down before saying, "I agreed with my friend this morning to go find him and not come back tonight."

After Jiang Fengyan finished speaking, he saw Chen Lixue looking at him with half belief and half doubt, so he simply took out his cell phone and showed the chat history to Chen Lixue.

Chen Lixue let down her guard only after reading the chat history. Then she noticed another thing: "Ten o'clock? Isn't that during class? Are you playing with your phone during class?"

Jiang Fengyan: "There won't be a next time."

Chen Lixue hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to say it: "Leave your phone here with me. I'll give it to you when I'm on vacation."

Jiang Fengyan raised his eyelids.

Chen Lixue still had a stern face, but when Jiang Fengyan looked at her, her eyes were slightly evasive - she herself couldn't tell the reason.

Obviously the person in front of her was her son whom she had raised since childhood, but now she suddenly felt a little afraid of her son.

"Bringing your phone to school will only affect your concentration in class. I'm doing this for your own good."

Jiang Fengyan fixed his eyes on the phone in Chen Lixue's hand, and after a few seconds, he turned his head away: "Okay."

"It's getting late. Go to sleep and get ready for class. I'll wake you up when it's time." Chen Lixue saw that Jiang Fengyan was obedient and her face looked better. "Don't worry, I won't go through your phone again."

Jiang Fengyan didn't comment, and said calmly: "I won't sleep anymore. I have a few questions left to finish. I'll go back to school to do them."

After saying that, Jiang Fengyan turned around and prepared to walk towards the door.

Chen Lixue was about to nod when she heard this, but suddenly thought of a question. She looked at Jiang Fengyan's back and asked, "What's your friend's name?"

Jiang Fengyan just walked to the door. When he heard Chen Lixue's words, his steps paused slightly, but soon returned to normal.

"Qin Yu."

The voice spread throughout the room along with the sound of the door opening. Chen Lixue watched Jiang Fengyan close the door, her mind going blank.
