Free Web NovelChapter 760: Cannon Fodder in the Real World (Part 6)
She stood up with a playful smile and sat directly beside Jiang Lai.
"I’ve known about having an older sister for a long time. I was really happy then because it meant I wasn’t the only girl in the family anymore.
Let me tell you, those boys aren’t fun at all. Whenever I want them to shop with me, they’re all glued to their phones and never help me pick clothes.
But now it’s great. We can go shopping together in the future."
Jiang Lai withdrew her arm and looked at Jiang Huan’s excited eyes and asked directly.
"Who is your mother?"
Jiang Huan was stunned.
"Sister... Are you looking down on me because I’m from outside?"
"Why would you say that..."
Jiang Lai smiled.
"As if there’s a chance I wouldn’t look down on you..."
"Lai Lai, Ah Huan knows nothing, saying that is a bit hurtful."
Even Jiang Qi, known for his good temper, couldn’t listen anymore.
Jiang Lai then looked toward Jiang Li.
"What’s the matter? Does she really think at her age that we’re all from the same mother?"
The living room was very quiet, everyone quietly watching Jiang Lai. Besides Jiang Huan, nobody showed much emotion.
Jiang Huan’s eyes reddened.
"Lai Lai jie, I know my own status, and I know the rules of this house. It’s my fault for being presumptuous, I promise to change. Please don’t make it difficult for my brothers."
Her words only made Jiang Lai seem arrogant, foolish, and rude.
Just as the brothers of the Jiang Family had always thought of Jiang Lai.
Even after dying once, she still had this wicked demeanor.
Jiang Lai didn’t mind deepening their impression of her; after all, she was quite committed to her role, so she might as well keep playing it.
"Since you’re already in the Jiang Family, go curry favor with Jiang Xunshan to get a bigger place outside. Knowing that I don’t like you bastards, can you stop showing up in front of me?
Of course, big brother, second brother, third brother, these words aren’t for you. To me, you’re like my real brothers.
These words are directed at those who don’t know their place."
Jiang Huan instinctively looked at Jiang Li and Jiang Che, who usually pampered her the most.
But now, neither of them said a word to defend her.
Jiang Lai looked at these brothers who endured everything for the sake of benefits, and couldn’t help but sneer coldly in her heart.
Endure it, let’s see how long you can endure.
"I’m going out!"
She hadn’t been out to see the world for a long time.
Jiang Li got up and followed behind Jiang Lai, speaking calmly.
"You haven’t been out for a long time and aren’t familiar with the outside world. Let Jiang Xun and Jiang Zhuan go with you; they’re idle anyway."
Jiang Lai glanced at them, then sharply noticed impatience and irritation in Jiang Zhuan’s eyes.
"Alright, I just happen to need a couple of bag carriers. Oh right, give me the card."
Jiang Lai directly reached out to Jiang Li.
"I’m penniless right now." ƒreewebɳovel.com
Jiang Li took out a black card from his wallet without changing his expression and handed it to Jiang Lai.
"Use it as you please. Since you’ve been in a coma for so long, there are quite a few things you need to buy."
Jiang Lai took the card without hesitation and headed out without even changing clothes.
Jiang Li gave a subtle look to the twins, who both put on baseball caps and followed her out the door.
After Jiang Lai had gone far, Jiang Li looked at Jiang Huan, gently touched her hair, and said solemnly,
"Don’t take it to heart with Jiang Lai; she’s been spoiled."
Jiang Huan quietly leaned against Jiang Li, holding his sleeve, and obediently said,
"I know, I won’t take it to heart with her.
What makes me sad isn’t her scolding me, but her condescending attitude, not giving you guys any regard.
If the company were handed over to her, it would have been divided up by wolves and tigers long ago. It’s you guys who have protected the company. She’s slept for so long that she understands nothing at all."
Jiang Huan felt it was unfair to her brothers.
Despite being labeled illegitimate, it was they who exhausted themselves to protect her business.
Especially Jiang Li, who hadn’t even had time to date, though he’s not yet thirty.
Jiang Huan’s strong empathy made her want to cry when thinking about Jiang Li dealing with company affairs late into the night without rest, only to be labeled as an illegitimate child by Jiang Lai.
Jiang Qi gently wiped her tears away.
"Don’t cry, you won’t look pretty if you cry."
"Brother, I will definitely get along well with Jiang Lai; I want her to see your hard work."
Jiang Qi looked at her face with a gentle smile, seemingly unbothered by Jiang Lai’s recent words.
He truly didn’t care.
After Jiang Huan went back to her room, the three brothers sat on the sofa, each holding a cup of tea, chatting idly.
"I used to think there was something off about Jiang Lai after she woke up, but now it seems she’s exactly the same."
Jiang Qi said with a laugh.
"Just like when we were kids, her calling us bastards has no power at all."
Jiang Che kept a cold expression.
"Big brother, I’ve already sent people to keep an eye on Jiang Lai. She’s not worth your effort; you just need to keep an eye on The Lion Group."
"Yes, apart from the shares grandpa left to Jiang Lai, almost all of the company shares are in our hands. Even if Jiang Lai wants to cause trouble, she won’t be able to make a splash.
Oh... Jiang Huan, compared to her, is just missing something. Little Jiang Lai is so much fun, with her grumble and growl. How long has it been since I saw that?
Ah, it’s good she woke up. Now I have entertainment again."
Jiang Qi stood up and looked outside.
"Just go with my plan, I’ll take Jiang Lai away, I’ve specifically built an island for her. Once she’s there, there’s no way she can come out.
This way, you won’t be bothered, and the company remains yours."
Jiang Li raised his eyes, looking at Jiang Qi with a hint of disdain.
"Keep your thoughts to yourself, Jiang Lai must remain under my watchful eye."
Jiang Qi nodded.
"Alright, alright, but remember, you mustn’t actually kill her, she still has other uses for me."
At this time, Jiang Lai was already heading toward the nearest city.
The manor was on a secluded island in the country. For easy access, the old man had once spent nearly a billion to build a sea highway. Nowadays, the road is lined with coconut trees, and it’s the season for the coconuts to ripen. Jiang Lai had them stop the car and went to the side of the road to pick one up.
Jiang Xun was sitting in the passenger seat, playing with his phone.
Jiang Zhuan sat next to him, and the airline seat kept them far apart. As long as Jiang Lai didn’t speak, they wouldn’t even give her a glance.
"Jiang Zhuan, help me open this."
Jiang Lai directly handed the coconut over, and Jiang Zhuan looked up, sneering at her.
"You called Jiang Zhuan, but why are you handing the coconut to me?"
"Otherwise? Aren’t you Jiang Zhuan? Or have you recently changed your name?"
In the front seat, Jiang Xun turned around and exchanged a look with his brother, both seeing a hint of disbelief in each other’s eyes.
