Chapter 48 -48 Are You Worried About Something?
Jiang Zhouye let out a cold sneer, his tone full of disgust and hoarseness, “If I could, I would tear you apart right now.”
Jiang Nanshu: “…Yang, stop talking, my ears.”
[Murder is illegal, dear, you wouldn’t dare.]
Jiang Zhouye: “…”
He was really furious!
He turned around with a cold face. He wouldn’t let Jiang Nanshu get her way and would expose her true face in front of the whole family.
Even if he knew about their fates, he wouldn’t accept such a sister with a vile character!
He had originally planned to pry into Jiang Nanshu’s inner thoughts, because the test results came back, and the Flower Tea truly had issues. It was equivalent to a slow-acting poison. He had drunk too much of it, leading to his throat almost losing its voice.
Moreover, he had asked a teammate who had brought him the tea. He said that the Flower Tea was bought online, and if Jiang Zhouye wanted, he would place an order for him.
But with all the teammates busy with the tour, they hardly had a few words with him before hanging up.
He spent some money to investigate, and the result was indeed as his teammate said: the Flower Tea hadn’t been touched by anyone, what was sent to him was exactly how he received it.
And the teammate who brought the Flower Tea was probably made into a scapegoat.
He really couldn’t find out who the person behind it all was, so he wanted to take a shortcut and came to Jiang Nanshu to probe, and it was good that he did. Otherwise, how would he know about her venomous thoughts?
In the evening, close to dinnertime, Jiang Nanshu was the first to sit dutifully at her place. She had to be active when it came to meals.
But as family members returned one after another, the looks they gave her were extra strange.
Mr. Jiang wanted to say something but then hesitated, eventually letting out a sigh and angrily staring at the newspaper, not even eating.
Jiang Yunchuan scratched his red hair and opened his mouth towards Jiang Nanshu. In the end, he punched the table, looking as if he felt great guilt. Seeing Jiang Zhouye’s cold face, he finally struggled to say, “Nanshu… do you have something on your mind?”
Jiang Nanshu: “?”
If Jiang Nanshu herself admitted that she wanted to harm Jiang Zhouye, as her family they could help her rectify her ways. As long as she was honest, there was still room for a turnaround.
Jiang Nanshu looked obedient: “Nothing, as long as Dad, Mom, and my brothers are by my side, I’m very happy and have no worries.”
[My only worry is when the one billion will be deposited, one billion, one billion, all I want is one billion.]
The whole family: “…”
What’s the matter, who owes her money? And such a huge amount at that!
Everyone was baffled.
Jiang Yunchuan painfully turned his head away: “Forget it, you’re on your own.”
Jiang Nanshu nervously picked at her fingers: “Did I do something wrong again? Did I upset you? Just tell me, I’ll definitely change.”
[Tch, even if I did say it, I wouldn’t change, and next time I’d dare to do it again—mainly just for participation!]
What a focus on participation.
Jiang Yunchuan looked at Jiang Zhouye with sympathetic eyes, eventually shrinking down like a quail under Jiang Zhouye’s murderous gaze.

Mrs. Jiang sighed deeply, glancing between Jiang Zhouye and Jiang Nanshu.
Jiang Zhouye was the son she had raised since childhood, whereas Jiang Nanshu had only returned home three years ago.
If we were talking about closeness, of course, it’s her own son, but Jiang Nanshu was her daughter too.
She really didn’t want to see her continue to make one mistake after another.
Some things, once brought to light, will tear through the surface calm, and even between relatives, there will be rifts.
They knew they hadn’t cared enough for Jiang Nanshu, but as long as she was willing to correct her ways, she was the child they cherished.
She hesitated for a moment, then pulled a smile: “Nannan, how about Mom takes you shopping for clothes tomorrow? The luxury stores have their new autumn collections in.”
Jiang Nanshu: “?”
[No, I have big plans for tomorrow.]
She hesitated for a moment before declining, “Thank you, Mom, I still have clothes, and tomorrow I want to stay home and rest.”
Mrs. Jiang also felt helpless.
“Can we start dinner? I’m hungry.”
At this moment, she still had the appetite to eat.
Jiang Zhouye couldn’t eat a bite.
The others finished eating and went upstairs, and Jiang Nanshu didn’t know what they were secretly up to; it didn’t concern her anyhow.
In the evening, Jiang Nanshu lay on her own balcony, enjoying the breeze, her gaze drifting toward the villa next door that had its lights on, indicating the person who arrived yesterday hadn’t left yet.
Suddenly, a shiny object was thrown from the next door villa’s window onto the grass outside.
Jiang Nanshu sat up straight instantly.
She rubbed her eyes in disbelief; under the streetlight, that thing was really sparkling.
If that wasn’t a diamond, what was it?!
What kind of family lived next door, just throwing diamonds away like that!
Since it was already thrown, she might as well take advantage of it.
Jiang Nanshu eyed the wall separating the two houses; if the diamond was still there tomorrow, she would sneak over quietly.
Jiang Nanshu, dreaming of sudden wealth, slept especially soundly.
But the rest of the Jiang Family couldn’t sleep until the early hours of the morning.
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang were so worried, they tossed and turned all night.
Eventually, both sat up.
“Mr. Huan Ye, what do we do about Nannan’s situation? How could her impure-minded friend be a match for Ah Ye?” Mrs. Jiang held back, but still couldn’t restrain herself, “Nannan too, really, aren’t we her family? She doesn’t look out for us, so how can she expect us to wish her ill? Haven’t we treated her well these past three years?”
Mr. Jiang leaned against the headboard and sighed deeply, “Enough, let’s not talk about it.”
“The doctor said Nannan has a serious psychological illness, do you remember when she first came here? How good she was then, if it wasn’t for you deeming her incapable of everything, not knowing how to play piano or how to paint, or the etiquette of a lady, she tried to please you by offering water and you wouldn’t even take it, focusing only on Le Yi. Could she have turned out like this?”
Mrs. Jiang felt a flash of discomfort on her face.
It wasn’t that she didn’t love her own daughter.
It was her pride that wouldn’t let go of all the external vanity.
Whether it was nurturing her children or taking care of the family, she put her heart and soul into it.
Compliments towards her children were like praising her.
On the surface, those noblewomen didn’t say much, but they’d turn to Jiang Nanshu and call her a ‘country bumpkin’ who needed to be taught well, those words felt like invisible slaps to her face, burning hot.
Did she not want to teach her?
She missed out on sixteen years of Jiang Nanshu’s life, was it too late?
Raising a proper daughter of a distinguished family required a lot of time and effort, not something that could be done overnight.
Her face tensed, “I was also in a bad mood during that period, and I later realized that if she can’t learn, so be it. The Jiang Family won’t mistreat her, but look what she has turned into in the end. I certainly didn’t teach her these vulgar and low tricks.”
Then she grew sad again, “Tell me, why do such mistakes like a baby swap happen? Why isn’t Le Yi our biological daughter…”
“Shuling! Don’t say these things again in the future. If Nanshu hears this, she’ll be hurt,” Mr. Jiang said gravely.
Mrs. Jiang couldn’t help wiping away tears, “Well, if she does something wrong, we’ll just have to teach her. I’ll go and soothe Ah Ye. Tomorrow, we’ll catch Nanshu in the act and properly disciplin her.”
