It seems unexpected that Jiang Yuan's life has gotten better and better since leaving the Jiang family, to the point that she can wear such a haute couture gown.
Jiang Yuan went from being uncomfortable being watched by others at the beginning to being able to remain calm and composed even when being watched by others.
She shifted her gaze and saw Jiang Yusi standing in front of her.
However, she didn't look too well.
This was a birthday party she had been preparing for a long time, and she was the one who invited her. Why did her expression suddenly turn so bad?
Jiang Yuan thought to herself, but didn't think too much about it, and walked up to Jiang Yusi.
Strangely, when Jiang Yuan approached, Jiang Yusi wanted to back away and didn't want to stand with her.
However, her legs felt like they were made of lead, and she couldn't move.
No, she didn't want to stand with Jiang Yuan, didn't want people to compare her to Jiang Yuan, and even less wanted to be outshone by her!
"Happy birthday to you," Jiang Yuan said calmly.
Jiang Yuanhao slowly walked down the stairs, and upon hearing Jiang Yuan's voice, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Her voice sounded familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere before.
"Thank you, Xiaoyuan, and happy birthday to you too," Jiang Yusi said with a forced smile, extending her hand.
Jiang Yuan raised her hand and placed it on Jiang Yusi's hand; the two looked at each other.
When people see two beautiful and outstanding things, they will unconsciously compare them.
Just like when the neighbor's child and your own child are in the same grade but get different test scores, adults will compare their own child with the other child.
Then they'll say, "Look how well other people's kids are studying, and then look at yours."
That's the mindset everyone has right now.
Comparing the two, and weighing the pros and cons, we find...
Jiang Yuan looks better.
She is like a black rose that blends into the night, mysterious and unpredictable.
Jiang Yusi, dressed in all white, resembled a snow lotus.
but……
Although snow lotus is expensive, there is plenty of it on the market, and they can afford it.
Black roses are difficult to cultivate and are rare and precious, making them hard to buy even if you have the money.
Jiang Yusi withdrew her hand, but still maintained a forced smile.
Having been constantly watched, she could now feel many people looking at her, and she knew they were comparing her to Jiang Yuan.
She was truly happy before Jiang Yuan appeared, but now...
Her expectations turned into indifference.
Because the limelight isn't on her.
"Xiao Yuan, it's been a long time." A steady voice sounded from behind Jiang Yusi.
Jiang Yuan looked up and her gaze fell on Jiang Yuanhao, who was walking towards them.
Jiang Yuanhao observed Jiang Yuan's expression. Her face remained unchanged, without even a trace of inferiority or pride, completely unlike her former self.
She felt inferior after learning that she was not the eldest daughter of the Jiang family.
She was clearly insecure.
Why does it seem like it has been reborn from the ashes, completely transformed?
Not only was he not at all self-conscious, but he was also neither humble nor arrogant.
She was so confident, it was as if she were radiating light.
It's impossible to ignore.
"Long time no see," Jiang Yuan said calmly.
In her memory, Jiang Yuanhao did not lay a hand on the original owner like Jiang Yusi did, but he stood by and watched coldly, allowing other members of the Jiang family to bully the original owner, and even offered advice and plans for Jiang Yusi.
His hands were clean, yet he lurked in the shadows, manipulating everything.
The original owner initially thought that among the entire Jiang family, only Jiang Yuanhao was the best, but...
One day, when Jiang Shuyuan made the original owner of this body lie on the ground and bark like a dog, Jiang Yuanhao happened to pass by and saw it.
He watched indifferently as Jiang Shuyuan toyed with the original owner of the body, and coldly watched as the original owner barked like a dog.
Then, he turned and left silently.
It was only then that the original owner realized that Jiang Yuanhao might know everything and had tacitly approved of their actions.
After that, Jiang Yuanhao witnessed Jiang Yusi bullying the original owner of the body several times, but he remained silent.
On one occasion, the original owner passed by Jiang Yuanhao's room and heard Jiang Yusi say in a coquettish tone: "Big brother, the method you taught me is really useful. Now Jiang Yuan is as scared as if he has seen a ghost when he sees me, and he listens to me without question."
After hearing this, the original owner felt cold in his hands and feet, realizing that Jiang Yuanhao hadn't actually done anything, but he had also been involved, helping them devise strategies.
Only then did the original owner realize that they were in cahoots.
Before Jiang Yusi appeared, the Jiang family treated the original owner well. The original owner thought that considering she had lived with them day and night for fifteen years, as long as she endured it and did not resist, they would not go too far. However, they became more and more unreasonable time and time again.
They transferred all the affection they had for the original owner to Jiang Yusi, showering her with the same care and love they had shown her.
It was then that the original owner realized that what they cared about was not how many years this person had spent with them, but whether this person shared the same bloodline as them.
If you share the same bloodline, they will treat you well.
But if you have nothing to do with them, no matter if you have spent ten, twenty, or a lifetime with them, once they know you have no connection with them, they will abandon you without hesitation.
It's like having no heart.
Jiang Yuanhao smiled, but his brows furrowed slightly.
Jiang Yuan was too calm; he couldn't tell what she was thinking from her expression.
Could she have been behind the police raiding the warehouse?
If so, how did she know?
How did you manage to do that?
"These are gifts for you and Xiao Si." Jiang Yuanhao snapped out of his daze and magically produced two small and exquisite gift boxes.
Jiang Yuan glanced at the gift box, took it, and calmly said thank you.
Jiang Yusi, on the other hand, seemed delighted, saying, "Thank you, big brother. You're the best to me."
