The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Family Gathering

Ji Ze kept nodding repeatedly, eyes brimming with sincerity, "Thank you, Brother Hui, you are like my second parents. One day, I will introduce you to my mom and dad; they’ll be grateful to you too."

Brother Hui choked up and showed an awkward but polite smile, "That’s really not necessary."

And just like that, he somewhat inexplicably took on Ji Ze as his younger brother.

The two walked out of the abandoned factory, and Brother Hui paused, casting a glance at Ji Ze, "I still feel like this isn’t right..."

Ji Ze’s eyes were filled with innocence, "What’s wrong, Brother Hui? Did you leave something inside? I’ll go get it for you."

He was about to turn back when Brother Hui grabbed him, placing a hand on his shoulder, "No need, you go back to school for your classes. I might not have much of a conscience, but I can’t let you skip school. Then come and work on the weekends, try to pay back the money quickly. Our boss is a young lady; she may not be old, but she’s not light-handed either, so watch out."

It was Yan Yidan’s voice that Ji Ze heard.

He was a bit curious about this behind-the-scenes boss, Brother Hui.

A young woman who could make her business so big was indeed a talent.

...

After school in the afternoon.

Jiang Nanshu and Jiang Yunchuan went home together.

Because today, to celebrate Jiang Nanshu coming home, Mrs. Jiang had prepared a gathering, and even the usually busy Jiang Yisen would have to come back for dinner.

As soon as Jiang Nanshu pushed open the door, she was enveloped in a fragrant, soft embrace.

Jiang Leyi’s voice was full of excitement, "Nannan, welcome home!"

Jiang Nanshu’s eyes gleamed with a smile, "Thank you, sister."

[Whimper, whimper, sissy cuddle, how could I have been so awful to you before, I deserve to die, I love you, sister.]

While Jiang Leyi’s expression remained normal, Jiang Yunchuan was somewhat surprised.

When had their relationship gotten so good?

Mrs. Jiang, coming out of the kitchen, was slightly stunned at the sight.

It used to be a scene she most wished to see.

The fact that Jiang Leyi and Jiang Nanshu could coexist peacefully, something she had hoped for years, had suddenly come true, yet, she felt weirdly uneasy.

Now, even if Jiang Leyi had anything on her mind, she wouldn’t tell her, not even the reconciliation with Jiang Nanshu.

She felt a bit heartbroken.

It was as if the daughter she raised had grown distant from her.

Mrs. Jiang put on a fitting smile, "Nannan, you’re back. Your dad and your eldest brother will also be home soon. Why don’t you sit on the couch and watch some TV while I prepare dinner?"

Jiang Nanshu glanced at her and lightly responded, "Mmhmm."

Settling back into her favorite couch, she fluidly reached beneath the coffee table and pulled out a pack of chips.

This was the little kindness of the housemaid.

She would only let her have one pack a week, saying that junk food isn’t good if eaten in excess and that she should control herself. But since she knew Jiang Nanshu craved them, she would leave one small pack whenever she came home.

Jiang Yunchuan pulled Jiang Leyi aside and whispered, "Could you still hear her inner voice just now?"

Jiang Leyi looked puzzled and shook her head, "No, what did she say?"

Jiang Yunchuan repeated, "She said she likes you, her sister."

Jiang Leyi’s excitement was visibly surging, "Really? Did she really say that? You’re not lying to me, are you?"

Jiang Yunchan couldn’t bear to look at her direct excitement, "Why would I lie to you? It’s just that she likes you; why are you so excited?"

"You don’t understand! You don’t know how awful it felt when she disliked me. I longed for three years, hoping she’d stop disliking me. If she didn’t want my company, I wouldn’t come home. If she felt my presence was annoying, I’d keep out of her sight to prevent her from disliking me more. I often thought, if we were blood-related sisters, maybe she wouldn’t have treated me this way."

Jiang Nanshu was sensitive about her rural background.

And wasn’t Jiang Leyi equally sensitive about her false "rich girl" identity?

The better her family treated her, the more distressed she felt.

She felt she didn’t deserve Jiang Nanshu.
