Ch 11: We Go Home
Jiang Zao: “?”
Still want to CPU her?
Even if the Xia Family raised her, she has already paid back everything she owed in her past life.
In this life, she will only live for herself.
“Uncle Xia.” Jiang Zao looked at Xia Yunqian.
Xia Chuwei never allowed her to call Xia Yunqian father, and Xia Yunqian seemed to acquiesce, so for two lifetimes, Jiang Zao has called him uncle.
Jiang Zao took out a card from her bag, took two steps forward, and placed it on the coffee table.
“Inside is all the expenses the Xia Family spent on me from the age of five to high school. Since high school, I have been working and studying, and the Xia Family has not paid for my tuition and living expenses.”
Xia Yunqian turned his head and looked at Lan Yi suspiciously, seemingly just learning about this matter.
Lan Yi subconsciously avoided Xia Yunqian’s gaze.
The reactions of this couple were all within Jiang Zao’s expectations. The seeds of suspicion have been planted, and she wants to see how strong their marital relationship is.
Jiang Zao got up, stepped back to Fu Yanci’s side, and continued: “As for what happened with Xia Corporation’s mess, heaven knows, earth knows, I know, and Xia Chuwei knows. Uncle Xia is so shrewd, he should have guessed it, right? So, there is no such thing as me causing losses to Xia Corporation. As for what you said about being grateful, I have also done it. After all, you said you wanted to change my marriage partner, and I didn’t object, did I?”
Lan Yi never thought that Jiang Zao would dare to speak so firmly, and immediately became angry.
“Is marrying into the Fu Family making you feel wronged? That is a marriage that many people want to curry favor with but can’t. If it weren’t for your Uncle Xia, do you think you, a good-for-nothing bitch, could climb up to the Fu Family?”
In her previous life, Lan Yi often scolded Jiang Zao like this, regardless of whether there were people around.
At that time, she was more than once heartbroken, but now, she won’t be.
“Yes, as you wish, I have climbed up to the Fu Family, so I want to draw a clear line with the Xia Family. A wife follows her husband, that’s what you taught me, Mom.”
Fu Yanci felt that everything here was bad, and pulled Jiang Zao to walk out, “The people here are all so bad, Wife, let’s go home.”
Jiang Zao also let him, smiling and looking at the hand being pulled, “Yes, let’s go home.”
Only when the sound of the car driving away outside the door rang did the three members of the Xia Family regain their senses.
Xia Yunqian turned to look at Xia Chuwei: “Weiwei, didn’t you say Fu Yanci was stupid? How does he know he is Third Master Fu?”
Xia Chuwei originally thought that Jiang Zao’s return to her parents’ home today would give her a hard time, and return all the anger she had suffered in the Fu Family, but she didn’t expect that the one who really suffered was herself.
“Isn’t his stupid look stupid enough? He revolves around Jiang Zao all day long, like a lapdog. I think Jiang Zao is just relying on Fu Yanci’s power, thinking that she can step on our Xia Family’s head by climbing up to the Fu Family. When the Fu Family collapses one day, let’s see how arrogant she can be!”
She said it very confidently, as if she knew the Fu Family would go bankrupt.
Xia Yunqian still understood his daughter, so he deliberately sent Lan Yi away, pulled Xia Chuwei to sit down, and asked, “Weiwei, do you know something?”
Xia Chuwei looked back at the direction Lan Yi left, curled her lips in disdain, hooked Xia Yunqian’s arm, and whispered, with a strong sense of excitement and anticipation in her eyes.
“Dad, I have two projects that can make the Jiang Family rise. When the time comes, we will cooperate with our Xia Corporation, and both families will win together. Without Fu Yanci, the Fu Corporation will not be able to hold on sooner or later. When the time comes, we will be stepping on the Fu Family’s head, and even Old Madam Fu will have to look at your face to act.”
The pie was drawn too big and too fragrant, and Xia Yunqian felt a little lightheaded after hearing it.
Being able to step on the Fu Family’s head, how great would that feeling be.
“Weiwei, what projects are you talking about?” Xia Yunqian couldn’t help but ask.
He also had selfish motives. If the project was really good, why would he have to pull the Jiang Family in?
Xia Chuwei glanced at the direction of the kitchen again, and a piece of Lan Yi’s skirt was exposed, obviously eavesdropping.
She rolled her eyes, then leaned to Xia Yunqian’s ear and whispered: “Smart Robot and High-End Online Game.”
In her previous life, the Jiang Family relied on these two projects to rise suddenly, jumping from a second-rate family to an existence that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Fu Family.
As soon as Xia Yunqian heard this, he gave up the idea of doing these two projects alone.
IT and high-end intelligence are not the strengths of Xia Corporation. On the other hand, her son-in-law Jiang Jinfeng studied computer science, and after Jiang Jinfeng took over Jiang Corporation, he also began to develop towards the IT industry.
“Okay, you go back and discuss it with Jinfeng. When the time comes, Xia Corporation will be the agent, and our two families will cooperate and join forces.” Xia Yunqian is now very grateful that his daughter changed the groom at the beginning.
Otherwise, it would be his daughter who would have to live with a fool now.
◈◈◈
Lan Yi had been eavesdropping at the corner of the wall for a long time, but didn’t hear a single word, only saw the two father and daughter smile.
She felt wronged in her heart.
Over the years, she has wholeheartedly worked for this family, and even alienated her own daughter because of it. As a result, Xia Yunqian and Xia Chuwei were still guarding against her, treating her as an outsider.
◈◈◈
Jiang Zao received a call from her best friend Zheng Xiao in the car on the way back.
It was very noisy on the other end of the phone, as if there were many people, and the background music was also very noisy.
“Zao Zao, are you coming to my concert? I have reserved the best seat in the inner field for you.” Zheng Xiao’s voice is a very distinctive smoky voice. Her tone of voice is the same as her person, flamboyant with a bit of arrogance, and very recognizable.
Jiang Zao is a voice-over, and was fascinated by Zheng Xiao’s voice at the time. As soon as she heard Zheng Xiao’s voice, the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn’t help but deepen, and the joy reached the bottom of her eyes.
“I won’t go, you also know my current situation, it’s not very convenient.” She was naturally referring to Fu Yanci who was inseparable.
Zheng Xiao understood and didn’t say anything. Just as she was about to hang up, Jiang Zao stopped her again.
Jiang Zao: “Don’t go crazy again after the concert, be careful of being photographed again.”
“Got it, housekeeper.” Zheng Xiao hung up the phone with a smile, not knowing if she had listened to Jiang Zao’s words.
Jiang Zao was helpless, put away her phone, and looked out the car window.
On this day in her previous life, she was with Xiao Xiao. In this life, she couldn’t be there. She hoped that Xiao Xiao wouldn’t cause any more trouble.
Her left shoulder suddenly sank.
Jiang Zao turned her head and only saw Fu Yanci’s hair whorl, as well as his long black eyelashes and high nose bridge.
This child had been playing for a day, and was probably tired too.
Jiang Zao supported Fu Yanci’s head and adjusted his posture to make him sleep more comfortably.
Her hand stopped on his cheek, and she couldn’t help but pinch it twice.
The feel was really good.
Pinch it twice more.
Fu Yanci’s soul floating next to him: “……”
He just felt itchy and hot on his face.
He could now remember everything that happened during the day, and couldn’t help but look at Jiang Zao with a bit of heartache.
It turned out that she had been treated like that in the Xia Family.
Even when she returned to her parents’ home, her biological mother didn’t give her a good look, and even used her like a free servant.
He couldn’t help but reach out his hand, wanting to touch Jiang Zao’s head and give her some comfort.
“A-Ci.”
“A-Ci?”
Jiang Zao woke up Fu Yanci, and the soul that had not yet touched Jiang Zao instantly returned to Fu Yanci’s body.
“Hmm?” Fu Yanci blinked his sleepy eyes and looked at Jiang Zao.
Jiang Zao smiled and tidied up his messy hair, “We’re home.”
