Zhang Wan smiled softly and said, "Xiao Sui is really outspoken, but what you said is biased. I'm just worried about you."
Jiang Sui was too lazy to listen to her hypocritical words, "Jiang Yishan is not here, there is no need for you to keep pretending, it's quite disgusting."
Seeing Jiang Sui's bluntness, Zhang Wan also put away the hypocritical expression on his face, revealing the indifference and hatred he had shown towards Jiang Sui for many years.
Everything has changed, yet it seems like nothing has changed.
"You should know why I asked you to come here today." Zhang Wan looked relaxed, but his well-maintained hands were secretly clenched tightly.
Jiang Sui lowered his eyes to look at the tea in front of him and chuckled when he heard this. It was already this late, but his stepmother still couldn't face the reality and still looked so arrogant and conceited.
Zhang Wan stared at his innocent smile, anger rising in her heart. Jiang Sui's expression made her feel uncomfortable instinctively. "What do you mean by this?"
Jiang Sui said calmly, "I just think it's pathetic and ridiculous that you're trying so hard to maintain your remaining dignity."
Zhang Wan's hand instantly grabbed the bag on her lap. She was furious, but her words remained calm. "You're young, and no one taught you etiquette. I understand and forgive you for treating your elders this way. But Xiao Sui, don't let this happen to you when you're out in the future."
Isn't this a secret mockery of his having no parents?
Jiang Sui looked at the woman in front of him, who wore delicate makeup but looked exhausted, and sneered, "To put it bluntly, someone like you can only be considered a concubine. How can a wife be polite to a concubine?"
Zhang Wan accidentally smashed the cup beside him and said three times, "Okay, okay, Jiang Sui, you have become more capable now. The person who used to read my eyes and act cautiously has become what you are today. Are you very proud of it?"
Jiang Sui looked like he was watching a joke, his calmness mixed with boredom.
Jiang Sui looked at her calmly at this moment, which made Zhang Wan lose her composure instantly.
Is there anything more embarrassing than being humiliated in front of people you once looked up to and whom you once despised?
Of course not. Anyone in this world can, when the roles of the bully and the bullied are reversed, see in the eyes of the superior his or her own ugly self of arrogance and cursing, and then feel endless embarrassment and regret.
This kind of regret is not regret for what you have done, but regret for not taking the action to the extreme.
Zhang Wan was no exception. Her only thought now was why she didn't kill Jiang Sui when he was powerless to fight back. Now she has left such a big disaster for herself.
She looked at Jiang Sui viciously, emphasizing each word and saying, "Why didn't I kill you back then? Just like I killed your mother, you two bitches should go to hell together!"
Seeing Jiang Sui's expression suddenly change, Zhang Wan laughed triumphantly, "You still don't know how your mother died, right?"
Jiang Sui's voice was low and hoarse, like a snake crawling in the dark, cold and gloomy, "Go on."
If it were the usual Zhang Wan, perhaps she would understand that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the moment, but at this moment Zhang Wan was completely immersed in the pleasure of revenge and could not feel the slightest bit of crisis at all.
"Did you know? You actually had a younger brother who just turned three months old."
Seeing Jiang Sui's eyes suddenly widen, Zhang Wan smiled with satisfaction, "Originally, your mother didn't have to die. After all, she helped me take care of your father for so many years, and I'm not that cruel. But she was wrong in every way to have another child, and a boy at that."
"It's because of you that I've endured for so many years and finally got a legitimate status. How could I possibly let your mother have another bargaining chip to bring me down?"
"What did you do?" Jiang Sui tried hard to suppress the coldness in his heart and asked again, "What did you do to her...what did they do?"
"What did you do?" Zhang Wan's eyes gradually became blank, and his thoughts returned to that moment. "I just had someone take your mother to the hospital for a checkup. Her condition was already not good, and she didn't want her health to be damaged because of that child."
"But I didn't expect her to be so disobedient. Even though she was surrounded by my people, she still tried to escape secretly." Zhang Wan looked helpless and spoke in a reproachful tone.
"That would be fine, but she actually wanted to go find your father!" Zhang Wan's expression turned cold, and his voice was like a devil from the abyss. "How could I let her have her wish? I simply had the doctor give her a sedative and asked her to abort the baby."
"I didn't expect that a rich lady like your mother could be so patient. She could watch her child die in her belly and still be so calm."
Zhang Wan said this in an astonished tone, as if it was unbelievable, but in Jiang Sui's eyes, her behavior was extremely bad.
His eyes instantly turned red, and he suddenly clamped Zhang Wan's neck with his hands.
The hand on her neck was getting tighter and tighter, and Zhang Wan was suffocating and almost fainting. It was the first time that she felt death so clearly, and she had no doubt that Jiang Sui would kill her here.
Zhang Wan placed her hands on Jiang Sui's hands, trying to pull his hands away with force, but her strength was no match for Jiang Sui's. She could only pull at his hands in vain and helplessly.
"Whether you let me go or kill me, what about the person who is worried about you?"
She hadn't had any expectations when she said this, but the tension on her neck gradually loosened.
Zhang Wan was overjoyed and continued, "It's really not worth it for you to go to jail because of me, right? What if she's still worried about you?"
Yes, what if Aunt Lin gets worried about him? Besides, Jiang Sui looked at Zhang Wan's suffocating blue and white face and asked himself: "Is it really worth it to sacrifice myself for such a person?"
It has to be said that Zhang Wan's action was a desperate move, which happened to touch Jiang Sui's heart and saved his life.
The hand on his neck gradually loosened, and Zhang Wan couldn't help but lie on the side and cough violently.
Jiang Sui looked at her coldly and said, "Go on."
Zhang Wan glanced at him fearfully, not daring to provoke him like she had just now. She whispered, "After taking the child, your mother's health deteriorated. She insisted on taking care of you and forced herself out of the hospital. She later fell ill and passed away."
Jiang Sui's heart was bleeding. He remembered that when he came home from school that year, he saw the abnormal paleness on his mother's thin face, and finally understood the reason behind it.
Even when she was at her weakest, she still forced herself to come back to take care of him and protect him.
He still remembers that in that cramped rental house, his mother's bright eyes looked at him tenderly, then patted his head and asked, "Xiao Sui, is the egg fried rice I made delicious?"
Even though she was so weak, even though she had experienced great pain, she was worried that he had not eaten dinner, so she would rush back to make him fried rice with egg.
