Her ex-husband was too cold; after being reborn, she hid her pregnant belly and left her father behi

Chapter 314: Miss Su, have some self-respect!

"I just don't want to let this go, I just can't get over it! I actually treated that bastard child as my own, and it turns out he's my husband's illegitimate son. I will never forgive him, even if I die."

Jiang Zhengguo never expected that after so many years, even though he was completely obedient to her, the resentment in her heart had not diminished at all.

“I admit I was wrong about that, and I didn’t do it properly. I just want this family to have peace and quiet.”

"If you want peace and quiet in this family, you shouldn't have brought that bastard back in the first place, and you even lied to me that he was an adopted child from an orphanage."

Jiang Zhengguo had indeed considered not bringing Jiang Che back, but his mother threatened him that he had to bring Jiang Che back. His mother valued blood ties, so she came up with this compromise, but she didn't expect that the truth could not be kept forever.

"I've apologized for this countless times over the years, and you bring it up every time you're upset. I really don't know what else you want?"

"Anyway, now that bastard has grown up, we shouldn't bother with him anymore. Let him fend for himself outside and don't even think about coming back to inherit the family fortune. The Jiang Group is something you and I worked hard for together, so the assets can only go to Sui Sui. No one else should have a piece of it."

Jiang Zhengguo said with a chilling look in his eyes, "So what you care about is that Jiang Che will take a share of the property. As for me lying to you, it's just something you've caught up in."

Yang Huirong's face was grim. So many years had passed, and she still couldn't figure out what she cared about or was most angry about. Just mentioning Jiang Che made her angry.

Jiang Qianhui frowned: "Mom, my brother has never wanted any of our Jiang Group's assets."

"How do you know he didn't want our Jiang Group's assets? He's just playing dumb. People like him are far more terrifying than Chen Lina and Jiang Di. At least they're open about it, so we can still be wary. People like Jiang Che are the most insidious!"

“Mom, my brother is different from Jiang Di and the others. The Jiang Group’s assets are the least important thing to him. What he cares about is…”

Before he could even utter the word "family affection," Yang Huirong interrupted him.

"Sui Sui, you've been fooled by him. He's such a good actor. You see, he's clearly quite capable, but he pretends to be a good-for-nothing. What is he trying to do? He just wants you to lower your guard and think that he's not aggressive or threatening, so he pretends to be a good-for-nothing."

Yang Huirong was aggressive, while Jiang Qianhui was filled with remorse.

"Mom, do you know why my brother is such a loser? It's because when he was in the first year of junior high, he got the highest score in the whole school. Dad praised him, and I felt that he had stolen Dad's love, so I scolded my brother."

From then on, in order not to steal my spotlight, my brother would always keep track of his score. He would stop answering questions as soon as he reached 60 points and leave the rest blank.

He always sacrificed himself, preferring to be a useless person rather than make me unhappy. I was young and immature before, but I can't be immature anymore. I can't watch my brother suffer anymore.

"That sounds nice, is that what he said to you? No wonder you've been so nice to him lately, you're feeling guilty. He's such a scheming person. He didn't focus on his studies and did poorly on his exams, yet he still tries to portray himself as so noble and morally blackmail you, saying he's not scheming."

Jiang Qianhui had not expected that her mother's hostility towards her brother was deeper than she had imagined.

Just as Jiang Qianhui was about to say something, her father said, "Never mind, let's just be happy as a family."

Jiang Che should be allowed to make his own way in the world. If he succeeds, all the better; if not, that's his fate, and it has nothing to do with the Jiang family.

Jiang Qianhui looked at her father. Although her father seemed to be saying cruel things, she could clearly sense certain emotions flickering in his eyes.

……

The next day, the Zhan family

When Zhan Yanxun returned to the Zhan family, he found Su Mengyu chatting and laughing with his mother.

"Why are you here?"

Zhan Yanxun's tone was very unpleasant, as if he had seen something dirty.

Su Mengyu almost rolled her eyes. Did he think she was happy to see him when he saw her unhappy?

However, she couldn't lose in terms of presence. Su Mengyu pretended to be calm and elegant, took a sip of tea, slowly put down the teacup, and smiled, saying, "I'm having tea with Auntie."

Su Mengyu raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes filled with a strong sense of aggression.

Zhan Yan said in an icy tone, "I've drunk your tea, now get out of here."

"This is Madam Zhan, your mother invited me here for tea. Your hospitality is really lacking."

Su Mengyu originally didn't want to come, but thinking about how Zhan Yanxun threw her into the trash can, she felt she had to get revenge. Sure enough, as soon as he saw her in their house, he was furious even before she made a move.

"Hospitality? That's something only guests deserve. Someone like you is at best an uninvited guest."

Zhan Yanxun was arrogant and looked down on her. Su Mengyu was furious. She had never been so contemptuous before.

Xie Qingyi said awkwardly, "Zhan Yanxun, how can you talk like that? Miss Su is a distinguished guest."

Yan Lan chimed in, "Yan Xun, this Miss Su is the eldest daughter of the Su family in Beijing. She comes from a top-tier family and is a beauty pageant winner. She's a perfect match for you. You two should have a good chat."

Su Mengyu knew perfectly well that Zhan Yanxun didn't like her, but she deliberately provoked him.

"Zhan Yanxun, did you hear what your mother and sister-in-law said? My family is well-off, I have a high level of education, and I'm a beauty pageant winner. I'm more than a match for you. You should have a good talk with me."

After Su Mengyu finished speaking, she reached out to pull Zhan Yanxun, but Zhan Yanxun shook her off as if he had been electrocuted.

"Miss Su, please have some self-respect."

Su Mengyu almost died laughing when she heard this. She had only pulled his hand, and he actually told her to have some self-respect.

He's so precious! The more she tries to stop him from touching her, the more she wants to. It's infuriating!

"It was just holding hands, do you hate me that much?"

Su Mengyu's hand had just touched Zhan Yanxun's arm when it was slapped away without any hesitation. It was such a disgust!

Su Mengyu feigned sadness and said, "Madam Zhan, I can tell that your son doesn't like me at all. I shouldn't try to win him over anymore. You can arrange another blind date for him."

As Su Mengyu was about to leave after speaking, Xie Qingyi quickly stepped forward and grabbed her, saying, "Miss Su, you can't leave! There's no one in the entire Country A with better conditions than you. You are the perfect match for my son!"

Xie Qingyi stepped forward and gave Zhan Yanxun a good scolding.
