“Grandpa, it’s not that I won’t apologize, I just don’t know why I should apologize.” Jiang Xianrou was embarrassed as if she was stripped naked and pinned to the pillar of shame.
Old Master Jiang still looked at her. “You really don’t know why you have to apologize?”
Jiang Xianrou pinched her fingertips. “…”
Jiang Zongnan never knew what was going on, but his instinct drove him to look at his daughter when he heard what his father said.
Shock, confusion, and inexplicable shame could be seen in his eyes.
He didn’t know what his daughter did, but he was not stupid. In this case, it would be strange if Jiang Xianrou hadn’t done anything wrong!
He knew that his wife and daughter never wanted to see the little niece he found.
Jiang Zongnan rubbed his temples and said to Old Master Jiang with a headache, “Dad, don’t worry about Xianrou. I’ll educate her well later on and ask her to apologize to Nian Nian.”
“I won’t apologize!” Jiang Xianrou reacted greatly this time and immediately raised her voice to push back.
Everyone’s eyes fell on her again. Jiang Xianrou’s blood flow reversed as she pinched her palms, furrowed her brows, and eyes turned a little arrogant. Instead of seeing her father’s shocked reaction, she bit her lips and continued, “I have nothing to apologize for.”
“Is she Zhui Guang?”
Jiang Xianrou coldly looked at Qiao Nian, who had never been involved, and sneered. “I’ll have to apologize only if she’s Zhui Guang. But is she?”
Nie Mi frowned.
Qiao Nian pulled down the brim of her cap and snorted. Her eyes were so dark and deep that people couldn’t easily figure out what she was thinking.
Before she could respond, someone stood in front of her and answered Jiang Xianrou’s words loudly. “Even if Nian Nian isn’t Zhui Guang, isn’t she your sister and my daughter? Your grandfather called you and asked you to clarify on Weibo. Why didn’t you answer the call? Also, I told you to come back, why didn’t you reply to the message?”
It had to be said that Jiang Zongjin’s questions were very tricky and sharp.
Jiang Xianrou was flustered. “I was busy in school when Grandpa called, and my phone was out of power later…”
“Why was your cell phone charged again when Jiang Li posted on Weibo?” Jiang Zongjin asked her indifferently instead of believing her.
Jiang Xianrou was speechless. She pinched her hands and returned to her original words. “Didn’t she still ask Jiang Li to post on Weibo that I stole her identity? Then, is she Zhui Guang? If she isn’t, what’s the difference between instigating my second brother to post on Weibo and slandering me for impersonating her?! Isn’t she the one who should apologize?”
“Xianrou, how can you say that about your uncle?” Jiang Zongnan stopped her, his face stained with anger.
Jiang Xianrou was unwilling, but she did not dare to disobey her father. She endured it and closed her mouth reluctantly.
Jiang Zongnan rubbed his eyebrows, his headache becoming more and more severe. He raised his eyes and said to his elder brother, “Big brother, I’ll find someone to investigate later about what you just said. When I figure out the matter, Xianrou will apologize to you and Nian Nian if she’s really in the wrong…
“The separation of the family… Dad is still here. You’ll hurt Dad’s heart too much by saying such things. We should solve it privately. Don’t you believe me?”
Jiang Zongjin did not speak.
In fact, he had no conflict with Jiang Zongnan. The two brothers had always had a good relationship. Over the years, he had focused on research, and most of the time he had relied on Jiang Zongnan to take care of Old Master Jiang.
He was very grateful.
He himself had no need for money, but this time when Qiao Nian was bullied, he couldn’t swallow it and insisted on separating from the family.
He became silent now that Jiang Zongnan mentioned Old Master Jiang.
