Jiang Hechuan was extremely shocked.
He really didn't expect Shen Mingyue to act unpredictably.
First, he hit him for no reason, and now he's actually showing concern and affection for Jiang He.
This shouldn't be happening.
Jiang Bai's eyes darkened as he watched this scene, revealing his deep resentment and unwillingness.
I am filled with a sense of crisis.
From the very beginning, he knew that he had come to the Jiang family as a substitute for Jiang He after she was abducted.
This also means that if he is not liked, or if Jiang He returns one day, then he will no longer have a place in the Jiang family.
He was unwilling and resentful.
Therefore, from the moment he arrived at the Jiang family, he was constantly vying for power and pretending.
He has indeed done so over the past decade.
He was the darling of the Jiang family, and both Jiang Hechuan and Shen Mingyue doted on him.
His older sisters also liked and cared for him, and were biased towards him.
Unexpectedly, Jiang He was found one day.
He was filled with a sense of crisis.
He dressed up specially today to intimidate Jiang He, and even practiced the piano on the side, all to make Jiang He look bad and trample him underfoot.
He succeeded at the very beginning.
He clearly saw the look of disgust and aversion in Shen Mingyue's eyes when Jiang He walked into the house looking as disheveled as a beggar.
But why did Shen Mingyue change so quickly?
How could she be so close to Jiang He? How could she be so good to Jiang He?
What should he do then?
Will there still be a place for him in this family?
Jiang Bai was filled with resentment. He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost broke his palms.
Jiang Hechuan noticed this, and a hint of heartache flashed in his eyes.
At the same time, he was extremely angry.
He doesn't like the feeling of things being out of his control.
Wasn't Shen Mingyue always the one who hated Jiang He the most?
Why do I like him and feel guilty, saying I want to make it up to him?
Suppressing his anger, he stepped forward to try and pull Shen Mingyue away.
"Mingyue, alright, the child just got back, don't get too excited."
After speaking, he looked at Jiang He with a serious expression, his tone accusing.
"Jiang He, go wash up and change your clothes before coming down. Your mother loves cleanliness. You're embarrassing her. If people see you like this, they'll laugh at you."
His words were clearly intended to incite conflict.
Knowing that Shen Mingyue was concerned about her image, she often complained that Jiang He was stupid and embarrassed her before Jiang He was abducted.
Now that Jiang He is so low-class, once this point is pointed out, even if Shen Mingyue feels a little guilty towards Jiang He, it doesn't matter at all in front of her pride.
But what does face mean to Shen Mingyue, who has died once before?
Jiang He is not as important as her.
Without the filter, she could immediately see the purpose behind Jiang Hechuan's words.
I was so angry I laughed.
This is deliberately trying to provoke her.
He immediately questioned the rivers and streams without any politeness.
"Don't just blame Jiang He. He Chuan, you went to pick up Jiang He, why didn't you buy the child some clothes and tidy him up properly?"
"What's so funny? What's so funny? Anyone who dares to laugh at Jiang He in front of me, I'll never forgive them!"
"You...you!"
Jiang Hechuan was dumbfounded and almost asked Shen Mingyue if she had gone mad.
Otherwise, why would he suddenly say something like that?
Is this still the same Shen Mingyue who is brainless, has a bad temper, is obsessed with saving face, and is selfish?
"What do you mean, 'what did I'? Did I say something wrong?"
Shen Mingyue showed Jiang Hechuan no mercy whatsoever. If it weren't for the fact that now was not the time to expose Jiang Hechuan's true colors, she would have liked to slap him a few more times right now.
Let him just die already.
"No matter what, Jiang He is still our own son. Why don't you love your own son? On the contrary, you dote on Jiang Bai."
Shen Mingyue was impatient to argue with Jiang Hechuan any longer, so she said this on purpose.
As expected, Jiang Hechuan immediately tensed up upon hearing this.
"No, what are you saying!"
"How could I not love Jiang He? They are the same. Jiang Bai and Jiang He are both good children, and I love them equally."
Feeling guilty, Jiang Hechuan tried to smooth things over with a laugh, and was too embarrassed to say anything bad about Jiang He anymore.
I just hope to change the subject quickly and not let Shen Mingyue suspect anything.
"That would be best."
Shen Mingyue snorted coldly, remembering how Jiang Bai had bullied Jiang He in the past, and she didn't want to let him off the hook either.
So he pointed at him without any politeness and said,
"Jiang Bai, what are you still standing there for?"
"Jiang He is back, and you don't know what to do?"
“If Jiang He hadn’t been abducted, we would never have adopted you. You need to understand your own identity, do you understand?”
“From now on, you must give in to Jiang He at home, protect Jiang He, and not let Jiang He suffer any grievances. Otherwise, you’ve grown up now, and we’ve already done enough for you.”
"If you dare to bully Jiang He, you can go back to your orphanage!"
Shen Mingyue's blunt words pierced Jiang Bai's heart like a sharp sword.
He never expected that Shen Mingyue would show such concern and care for Jiang He.
She actually said such a thing to him.
Jiang Bai felt extremely wronged.
Even though he felt he had suffered a lot in the Jiang family, was particularly wronged, and was constantly trying to please people, and was in great pain because he couldn't be himself.
Actually, he didn't suffer much hardship at all while living in the Jiang family.
Otherwise, if they were truly mistreated, they wouldn't have the courage or confidence to harbor the ambition to monopolize the Jiang family's assets.
