The Wen family was filled with warmth and a relaxed atmosphere, while the Jiang family was shrouded in dark clouds, feeling solemn and tense.
Zhang Wan was very dissatisfied with Jiang Yishan for bringing Jiang Sui back without consulting her, but she had pretended to be virtuous for so many years, and it was not easy for her to show her mean side in front of everyone, so she could only swallow her anger and greet Jiang Sui, but that night she had a fight with Jiang Yishan in the room.
Behind the half-open door, Zhang Wan cast aside the elegance she displayed during the day. Her subdued voice was filled with anger: "Why did you let Jiang Sui come back? Why didn't you discuss this with me?"
Jiang Yishan said nonchalantly: "Jiang Sui is a member of the Jiang family after all. How can he live in someone else's house forever?" At the end, he added, "Jiang Sui is very different now. You shouldn't just focus on Jiang Shun."
Zhang Wan raised his voice: "What do you mean? You mean I shouldn't take care of my own son, but should spend my time taking care of your ex-wife's son?"
Xue Jiahui was like a thorn in Jiang Yishan's heart. Zhang Wan would never have mentioned this name in the past, but tonight she was really overwhelmed by Jiang Sui's sudden return, and for a moment she started to speak without thinking.
Jiang Yishan looked at the woman in front of him, who was trying hard to hide her age, and said impatiently: "Alright! Look at what you look like. If I had known you would become like this, I shouldn't have married you. You are indeed from a humble family, not presentable enough."
Zhang Wan listened to her husband, who always doted on her, spewing vicious words at her. She felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. Tears fell from her eyes, which were filled with tenderness and love. "Jiang Yishan, this is not what you said when you gave up that woman to marry me!"
Jiang Yishan looked at her staggering steps, stood there indifferently, and sneered at her accusations, "It's just because you are pretty and know how to adapt to the times. Besides, I have supported you all these years. If it weren't for me, you would still be working in that kind of place until you are old!" His words were full of a condescending sense of superiority, as if he was accusing a person who depended on him for survival of having the right to throw a tantrum with him.
What Zhang Wan hated most in her life was when someone mentioned her past. It made her feel like she was still in that dirty place, selling her body every day just for a meager amount of food money. She never wanted to remember that kind of despicable and disgusting life again.
Hatred welled up in Zhang Wan's red eyes. She pointed at Jiang Yishan and spoke sharply, like a broken harp string, harsh and unpleasant. "Okay, okay. You actually think of me like this? In your eyes, I'm just a dodder that depends on you for survival. I'm where I am today because of you, Jiang Yishan. I worked so hard to give birth to a son and a daughter for you, and this is how you see me?"
Jiang Yishan didn't understand why his always considerate wife had become like this. The recent crisis faced by the company had exhausted him. At the moment, he really had no mood to deal with his wife who suddenly "went crazy". He just looked at her as if she was an ant and was about to leave.
Zhang Wan looked at his back as he turned away without mercy and reached out to grab him, "Explain it to me clearly!" The next second, her hand was violently shaken away. Zhang Wan didn't react and fell to the ground. A tingling sensation instantly spread throughout her body.
Jiang Yishan didn't even glance at her, and walked straight out the door. The room was silent for a moment, then suddenly a woman's sobs could be heard. Zhang Wan's expression was veiled in the darkness, and her bloodshot eyes stared straight at the spot where Jiang Yishan had left. A flash of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, and then it was filled with hatred. She thought, Jiang Yishan, as a couple, I didn't want to kill you, but today you actually think so, so don't blame me for disregarding our marital relationship.
Jiang Sui had been standing in the stairwell since a moment ago, so he'd naturally heard everything they argued about. As he waited for Jiang Yishan to emerge, he swiftly dodged into a corner, avoiding Jiang Yishan's presence. He waited until they were gone before reappearing, seemingly peering through the wall at Zhang Wan. He thought with a certain satisfaction, "You've finally gotten to this day?" But this was just the beginning. The fun was about to begin. Enjoy it! After all, my mother endured far more pain than this.
Jiang Sui turned around and went upstairs without mercy. When he was about to reach the bedroom, he saw Jiang Yiyi standing at his door, as if she had been waiting for a long time. However, after his warning last time, Jiang Yiyi was obviously more afraid of him. At least she did not provoke him as before when she saw him.
Jiang Sui walked past her as if he didn't see her and opened the door. After entering, he was about to close the door when he was stopped by a hand.
Jiang Yiyi said angrily: "What's wrong with you? Can't you see I'm here?!"
Jiang Sui lowered his eyes and looked down at her, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Yiyi mustered up the courage to ask, "I know you heard them arguing. This family is restless with you around. Mom and Dad never quarreled when you weren't home. When did you leave?"
Jiang Sui didn't get angry about this. Instead, he asked as if he didn't sense any ill will from her, "Do you think they quarreled because of me? They must have had quite a few conflicts during the few days I wasn't home."
Jiang Yiyi didn't expect him to be right. She bit her lower lip and said, "But this is also because of you. I heard everything. It's because of you that the family company got into trouble. The family is extremely unhappy because of you. Don't you feel guilty at all? No matter what Mom and Dad did, they raised you. You can't repay them or complain!"
Jiang Sui found it funny to listen to her accusations. His reaction was not as guilty as Jiang Yiyi thought. He still looked at her coldly, "Sometimes I really don't know whether you are stupid or naive. Weren't you warned last time? Why are you still thinking of provoking me? It seems that you still don't understand the situation. Jiang Yishan promised me personally that as the eldest son, I will be able to join the company soon, as long as I stop my actions. Then your brother will be in trouble."
Jiang Yiyi clenched her hands tightly, her palms sweating. If her brother couldn't become the heir, their lives wouldn't be so easy given Jiang Sui's personality. She screamed, "Impossible! Dad loves my brother so much, what you said can't be true!"
Jiang Sui: "Really? Don't forget, he used to love your mother so much. Now look, your mother is hiding in her room crying alone."
Jiang Yiyi kept convincing herself not to believe Jiang Sui's lies, but a voice in her heart kept asking, isn't what he said true? Whether it was the change in her father's attitude or the change in the atmosphere at home, everything was developing in a direction she could not have expected.
Jiang Sui looked at Jiang Yiyi, who seemed to be hit, and suddenly felt bored. It was more interesting to face Zhang Wan. He had no intention of playing the role of a good brother, so he slammed the door in front of Jiang Yiyi.
Jiang Yiyi was left standing there with a pale face, looking distraught.
