The Jiang family couple had driven to the school gate early, eagerly waiting for their three children to come home for the October Golden Week holiday.
The first one to skip out was Jiang Yan. As soon as her dorm room door opened, she ran out without even waiting for Jiang Zhi. Jiangs Mom quickly took out the breakfast she had brought - a thermal mug filled with freshly warmed milk, a lunchbox with juicy pork and mushroom steamed buns, another lunchbox with sweet corn and shrimp dumplings, as well as fluffy apple-yam cakes still steaming hot.
Eat something first to line your stomach. When we get home, Mom will make your favorites - spicy cumin chicken and tomato stewed beef brisket. Ive had the ingredients all prepared and just waiting for you to come back! Jiangs Mom said repeatedly.
Jiangs Dad also coaxed his daughter from the drivers seat: In a few days, after youve had your fill of your moms cooking, Dad will take you all to Jiuxian Residence for a meal.
Yay! Jiang Yan responded happily, mouth still full of the juicy corn shrimp dumplings.
After a few minutes, Jiang Zhi strolled up with his long legs. Seeing the boxes and containers in Jiangs Moms hands, he quickly declined: Mom, Ive eaten breakfast already.
Jiangs Mom shot him a look and said, Well I didnt prepare any for you, go sit in the front and dont crowd us.
Jiang Zhi was silent for two seconds before pulling open the door and sitting in the passenger seat. So Im the outsider now, and its just the three of you who are family huh.
Jiangs Dad snorted disdainfully, Its about time you realized that.
Jiang Zhi: ...
Soon after, Jiang Xian appeared outside the car. Jiangs Mom sat in the back with her two daughters, while Jiang Zhi boredly looked at his phone in the front and Jiangs Dad even provoked him, Havent you gotten your drivers license yet? Why dont you drive, so I can chat with my daughter for a bit.
Jiang Zhi really had nothing left to say. He stretched out his long legs and started acting up, Ah, I cant do that Dad. You drive slower so I can learn from you, since Im still a newbie without your experience.
Jiangs Dad couldnt retort so he just scowled at Jiang Zhi and jerked the steering wheel.
The family sat closely together in the car, happily on the way home.Checkk new ovel chpters at novlbin(.)com
However, the Systems existence dictated that this holiday could not remain peaceful.
[Task: Work with He Xingyi at the banquet to sabotage Jiang Xian and have embarrassing photos taken of you.]
Jiang Yan perfunctorily agreed, and couldnt help but headache over countermeasures in her mind. Still, her expression was a little glum.
Jiang Zhis sharp eyes noticed and his brows furrowed in concern as he asked, Whats wrong Jiangjiang? Are you carsick?
The car became alert in worry. Jiang Xian looked over anxiously while Jiangs Dad also turned back to look.
Oh dear! Jiangs Mom clapped her hand and said, I shouldnt have let you eat so much, carsickness is awful. I forgot to bring you medicine for motion sickness! Jiangjiang, switch spots with Jiang Zhi, that should help!
Cant stop here! Jiangs Dad said anxiously.
Its fine, let her come over. Jiang Zhi responded swiftly.
So before Jiang Yan even registered what was happening, she was already pushed by Jiangs Mom and pulled by Jiang Zhi to the front.
Then Jiang Zhi slowly moved back to sit in the rear.
Jiangs Dad opened the car window for some fresh air. Jiang Zhi leaned over the front passenger seat, peeled an orange and held it under Jiang Yans nose for her to smell.
The cool breeze blowing in lifted everyones mood. Jiang Yan suddenly felt much better.
The System was utterly confused by this scene. What is this situation?! it exclaimed in the wind.
Jiang Yans tone was innocent, like a mischievous little fox. Ah? I dont know how this happened either, I didnt do anything!
The System couldnt detect her sarcasm, but was still very agitated. Looks like Ill have to speed things up.
Jiang Yans expression was unchanged. This was inevitable, sooner or later the System would realize something was off, it was only a matter of time.
Jiang Zhi saw her look sideways and couldnt help asking, What other bad ideas are you thinking of now?
Jiang Yan paused. She had to admit, after all this time together, Jiang Zhi still understood her very well. Jiang Yan turned her head, a naughty smile on her lips, but spoke contradictory pampered words. Im not...
The girls soft clean hair brushed past his palm, bringing a ticklish sensation. Jiang Zhi was tall with long legs, and couldnt help but see her neck which was slender and elegant like a baby swans, the type dancers loved.
Jiang Zhi unconsciously stared blankly for a while, and was even worried his pounding heart might disturb Jiang Yans rest.
A lifelong bachelor in his twenties, Jiang Zhi had always looked down on things like relationships. Yet now he was suddenly enlightened, and in a rather pathetic way, afraid Jiangs Dad would see and beat him to death in the car if he wasn't careful.
Meanwhile, the heartless girl leaned comfortably against the seat, sighing contentedly as she found a nice position and closed her eyes.
When they arrived and got out of the car, Jiang Zhi staggered after Jiang Yan as if in a daze, even following her into the bedroom.
Jiang Yan didnt understand him, and the hacked System was even more confused, only able to suspect sinister intentions. Did he find out that you bullied Jiang Xian?
Jiang Yan didnt believe that one bit. Putting aside whether that could be considered bullying, even if it was as the System imagined, Jiang Zhi would probably ask her to admit her mistake, then guide her to apologize and make amends, not stare at her silently like he was stumped by some cosmic riddle.
Whats wrong with you? the little girl looked up, eyes filled with puzzlement and confusion.
Jiang Zhis throat went dry. Looking into her eyes, his adams apple bobbed uncontrollably. Then he suddenly fled in panic.
Jiang Yan didnt know what was going on in his mind. While communicating with the System just now, she suddenly realized Jiang Zhi was actually a great brother. Habitually heartless Jiang Yan dredged up some conscience and took the initiative to care for her good brother.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhi avoided her like the plague. He rarely even left his room, having meals brought up to eat alone. This left Jiangs Mom, who didnt know what was going on, to question if he had done something wrong and didnt dare face anyone.
Indeed he had done something wrong. Jiang Zhi thought.
Jiang Yan tried but got no results, so she gave up. What took up most of her energy was the upcoming banquet.
Jiang Xians birthday banquet. The Jiang family had not yet formally announced having accepted their biological daughter back, so they planned to take this chance to invite everyone and cement the news.
However, Jiang Yan as the fake heiress would surely sabotage things and act out the role of the vicious villainess.
