Jiang Chenglang smiled coldly. “It’s a good thing they died early.”
There was no warmth in his black eyes. They were cold and sinister, and there was a tone of hatred in his voice.
Jiang Wan was speechless for a moment.
When Jiang Chenglang had come in, his suit jacket was still on his arm.
He now shook his suit jacket and put it on. “The message has been delivered. Lu Yuan, have a good life with your guardian. I’ll give you everything as I said I would. I won’t go back on my word.”
After saying that, Jiang Chenglang turned around and left.
Jiang Wan didn’t miss the look of anticipation in Lu Hetai’s eyes when Jiang Chenglang said that.
Her heart skipped a beat. She suddenly guessed why Jiang Chenglang would look for Lu Hetai and why her uncle would be so eager to be her guardian.
She had known Lu Hetai for a long time, so has Jiang Chenglang.
Lu Hetai was a greedy and short-sighted man. He wasn’t smart like her mother.
Therefore, when he found out that Jiang Wan was the illegitimate daughter of the Jiang family, he had always urged Jiang Wan to tell Jiang Chenglang the truth, thinking that Jiang Chenglang would give her the property after he found out that Jiang Wan was actually related to the Jiang family by blood.
If it weren’t for Jiang Chenglang not believing her this time, she might have been able to keep this secret even longer after she got angry.
However, Lu Hetai didn’t know about Father Jiang’s will.
Her mother had probably known that Lu Hetai wasn’t very good with his words thus hadn’t told him about this secret to avoid making things worse.
Her mother was also amazing. When her father had still been alive, she made him write such a will.
Jiang Wan kept this secret and didn’t reveal anything to Lu Hetai. However, judging from the current situation, Jiang Chenglang must have told Lu Hetai!
Perhaps he had also said something else that had successfully bewitched Lu Hetai and made him think that he would be able to enjoy the benefits of being Jiang Wan’s guardian in the future.
Without the temptation of money, why would Lu Hetai be so proactive?
Why would he say that he would take good care of her?
There was no credibility at all!
Jiang Wan could already imagine that she was going to completely replace the role of her mother, a future where Lu Hetai would suck her blood dry!
No!
No!
She couldn’t accept it!
Lu Hetai rubbed his hands together, “Yuan Yuan, you should stay here and rest. Director Jiang is not bad. At least he has already paid the medical fees before you are discharged from the hospital. I will come and pick you up on the day you are discharged from the hospital. But…”
He changed his tone.
Jiang Wan looked at him coldly. She could guess what he was going to say next.
Lu Hetai looked at Jiang Wan. “But you know that uncle’s house is small. This is the apartment your mother gave me many years ago. It’s been so many years and it’s very old.
“It’s okay for me to live with your aunt and cousin. I’m used to it. But Yuan Yuan, if you live there…
“After all, you’re used to living luxuriously in the Jiang family home. You’ve always lived in a big house. You might not be used to living with my family…”
Jiang Wan interrupted, “There’s no need. I’ll move out.”
Lu Hetai continued, “That won’t do. It’s not safe for you to move out alone. If you hire a nanny, you’ll have to spend more money. It’s such a waste of money!
“Your aunt doesn’t have a job anyway, so she can take care of you at home. You can save this money for her. We’re family anyway, so we won’t ask for more money from you.. It’s definitely cheaper than anything on the market!”
