The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind-Chapter 129: Am I A Very Cheap Person?

Mr. Jiang: "???" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

What the heck?

Chu Xin trying to seduce him?

He always thought of Chu Xin as a dear little sister.

After all, she’s Mrs. Jiang’s close friend, and previously he wasn’t very warm to her, which made Mrs. Jiang feel he had slighted her friend and got angry with him.

But then he changed, and he could have a few words with Chu Xin; plus, with her enthusiasm, after a while, they even became familiar with each other.

And now!

They’re telling him that Chu Xin wants to seduce him.

Isn’t that unjust?

Mr. Jiang, shocked and pale, hurriedly said, "I don’t have any improper thoughts towards Chu Xin, your mother misunderstood!"

Jiang Nanshu looked at the bright sky outside and shrugged her shoulders, "Telling me is useless; you need to go explain it to her."

[Eh, the old man’s not so dumb after all. He guessed it right away. I thought it would take the stepmother’s arrival for him to face the truth.]

Mr. Jiang: "..."

Thank you for the heads-up, dear daughter.

Mr. Jiang hurried upstairs, leaving Jiang Nanshu utterly baffled.

Jiang Jingcheng, having been suspended for a few days, was now sitting on the sofa flipping through a medical book; Jiang Yunchuan had left the house, no one knew what for; Jiang Zhouye was resting upstairs; Jiang Hemian and Jiang Leyi left at noon.

Thinking of Jiang Leyi, Jiang Nanshu took a seat opposite Jiang Jingcheng and casually grabbed a bag of potato chips from under the coffee table.

She bit into them noisily.

[If I remember correctly, big brother dislikes being disturbed when he’s serious, right? Hee hee, does eating chips count? This sound is annoying, isn’t it!]

"Crunch crunch."

Jiang Jingcheng paused and looked up to see Jiang Nanshu looking at him, eyes gleaming. Caught in the act, she felt a bit guilty and turned her head away.

[No, why am I hiding! I should ask him more questions, disrupting his thoughts.]

"Ahem..." Jiang Nanshu cleared her throat: "Um, big brother..."

Jiang Jingcheng looked at her indifferently, waiting for her to continue.

[Yikes, is he mad? Looks like I’ll have to frequent the hospital more often!]

Jiang Jingcheng’s eyes darkened slightly, and his eyebrow raised almost imperceptibly, a fleeting smile crossing his lips.

He thought as much, Jiang Nanshu likes the hospital; she could consider pursuing this interest further.

His face grew colder: "Nothing to say?"

"Ah, no! Let me think, crunch crunch..." Jiang Nanshu kept eating while observing Jiang Jingcheng’s expression.

Finally, she found a sense of pride in his demeanor.

She had nearly felt defeated for two days.

At last, a normal person.

[Heh, this is more like it. The more irritated he is with me, the more I like it!]

Jiang Jingcheng: "..."

[What awkward topic should I bring up next, oh, that’s right...]

Jiang Nanshu smiled slightly: "Big brother, do you want to play an SM game with me?"

Jiang Jingcheng: "???"

The book in his hands loosened and fell to the floor; his indifferent face almost couldn’t hold.

"Play what?"

[Hahahahaha, scared silly, huh? I almost thought you had no other expression.]

Jiang Nanshu grinned: "It’s when you sleep, I steal your money, it’s really fun. Wanna try it?"

Jiang Jingcheng: "..."

Maybe it’s really because he’s getting older—he can’t keep up with the wayward thinking of young people nowadays.

Oh, no, that’s not right; he couldn’t keep up with Jiang Nanshu’s train of thought.

He couldn’t help but snicker, bending over to pick up the book, yet his tone was cold, "Am I such a cheap person that I should play this game where I suffer and you reap the benefits?"

[Cheap or not, I don’t know, but definitely miserable, haha.]

Jiang Nanshu cleared his throat and laughed it off, "I was just joking with you. By the way, Second Brother, has Jiang Leyi said where she was going?"

"You really hate her, don’t you? Why are you interested in her schedule?" Jiang Jingcheng brushed off lightly.

Jiang Nanshu’s gaze held a trace of resentment.

[But she’s my Golden Master; of course, I have to pay close attention. What if she comes back next week with another gift for me, hehe.]

But she frowned harshly, "Heh, she left after just one day back. Does she even consider our parents at all? And to think they praise her for being filial. Unlike me, who wishes to spend every hour showing filial piety in front of our parents. Next week, she must stay at home for two full days!"

Jiang Jingcheng shook his head and stood up, "Her previous crew called her to go for a health check at Beijing People’s Hospital, so she went."

Jiang Nanshu was shocked.

[Didn’t she refuse Yuan Feng’s invitation at the wrap party? Why is she still eagerly acting as a mobile blood bank!]

[What can I say, I’m the only one who knows her fate, and she’s clueless. Without my warning, she’d surely go, but if I did tell her, wouldn’t my task be in vain?]

Jiang Jingcheng watched her face almost turning into a seven-colored rainbow.

This was actually getting a bit interesting.

Jiang Nanshu, always the cold observer of everyone’s fate, was hardly ever anxious, and it was already a good thing if she didn’t add fuel to the fire.

But she seemed to have a bit of sincerity for Jiang Leyi.

That person she hated the most over these three years.

Resenting her for usurping her place for sixteen years, enjoying the life that should have belonged to Jiang Nanshu.

Jiang Jingcheng couldn’t be bothered to disturb her, simply changed clothes, and left.

Jiang Nanshu stared at her phone, remembering Jiang Leyi’s concerned look from the day before, she took a deep breath... oh well, just this once, she would just ask.

So she dialed Jiang Leyi’s number.

The call connected quickly.

"Hello? Nannan?"

Jiang Leyi’s voice was somewhat cautious.

Jiang Nanshu curled her lip, reluctantly speaking, "Where are you?"

Two seconds passed before Jiang Leyi responded with surprise, "I thought I saw the caller ID wrong. It’s the first time you’ve called me. What’s up?"

Jiang Nanshu sniffed, her voice harsh, "Enough with the nonsense, where are you? Forget it, just send me your live location! If I find out you haven’t returned to school and are just running around, I’ll tell Mom and Dad! You’re in a relationship!"

"Pfft." Jiang Leyi couldn’t hold back a laugh, "You’re so childish. I’m of age now, it’s okay for me to date."

"I haven’t dated, and you think you can? Don’t even think about having a better life than me," Jiang Nanshu almost gritted her teeth.

Damn it, the entire book depicted Jiang Leyi as having an extremely rich love life. Thanks to the first scumbag boyfriend, she became indifferent to men thereafter, settling with anyone willing to love her.

No wonder she ended up being scammed out of her organs, dying a destitute death on the streets, with Chu Muxi’s not-so-subtle encouragement.

In the end, it was the adoptive parents who collected Jiang Leyi’s remains.

Jiang Nanshu recalled the plot of the original story.

Jiang Leyi died three months after the original character.

After the real Jiang Leyi passed away in prison, it was her who arranged the real Jiang Leyi’s funeral.

Because by that time, the Jiang Family only had the fake golden child, Jiang Leyi.

Jiang Yisen died in a car accident.

Jiang Jingcheng, unable to afford treatment, eventually died after his ventilator was removed.

Jiang Hemian dismembered others and committed suicide out of fear when the police found out.

Jiang Zhouye, overwhelmed by scandals, saw his star career completely destroyed and vanished after a hater splashed sulfuric acid on him, while he was walking past a poster of his former glory.

Jiang Yunchuan died of kidney disease.

Mrs. Jiang’s death left Mr. Jiang’s mental health severely affected. After Jiang Hemian’s death, he completely lost his sanity and was confined in a dark mental asylum.

Therefore, after the real Jiang’s death, the police could only contact Jiang Leyi.

At that time, she too was struggling, just conned out of a kidney to save a tycoon’s "Bai Yueguang", and then discarded.
