Jiang Wan was the best at sowing discord.
Jiang Yu curled her lips into a smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes.
She glanced at Jiang Wan and asked, “Since my surname is Jiang, why can’t I use the Jiang family name for something?”
Jiang Wan was stunned. She hadn’t expected Jiang Yu to refute her so quickly.
She pursed her lips and said weakly, “Sister, that’s not what I meant...”
Jiang Yu sneered. She wouldn’t let Jiang Wan retreat just like that.
She then asked, “Or do you think that only you can use the name of the Jiang family and I can’t?”
“Sister, I-I didn’t say that...”
“But I think that’s what you meant.”
Jiang Yu didn’t give Jiang Wan a chance to catch her breath. She glared at her coldly and asked, “I too am a daughter of the Jiang family... What gives you the right to criticize me?”
She dragged out the word “daughter” laced with a hint of sarcasm. After speaking, she snorted in contempt.
She didn’t look at Jiang Chenglang’s expression because she didn’t care.
If she wanted to say something, she will say it. No one could stop her.
In fact, when Jiang Chenglang heard Jiang Yu’s question, he did not offer any words.
Jiang Wan panicked. “Sister, I really didn’t mean that. I wasn’t accusing you. You really misunderstood me...”
“I don’t think there was any misunderstanding.”
Jiang Yu looked at her pointedly, as if looking into Jiang Wan’s heart. “Do you dare swear that you really don’t think that way?”
Jiang Wan was momentarily blindsided.
There was no other reason in fact. Jiang Yu’s gaze was too sharp, as though she could see through Jiang Wan’s facade.
She was merely a daughter raised by a small family. How could she possess such an oppressive gaze?!
Jiang Wan did not reply immediately after that brief moment of lapse. She had lost her edge.
From the corner of her eyes, she saw that Jiang Chenglang was watching her. He was sizing her up. Jiang Wan blinked and her eyes immediately turned red.
“Sister, you really misunderstood me. I just... I just wanted to vouch for you. Although my words may not have been what I meant and made you misunderstand... I... I really believe you...”
Jiang Wan was flustered as she struggled to explain herself. It was as if she had been forced into a corner by Jiang Yu’s barrage of questions.
Her tearful face made Jiang Yu look like a bitter and evil sister who was interrogating her without relent.
However, Jiang Yu maintained her look of cold indifference. She was not moved by Jiang Wan’s performance at all.
What was more interesting was that Jiang Chenglang did not speak up for Jiang Wan even at this moment.
He stood beside them like a statue and frowned.
He wanted to say something, but suddenly, he felt that it was unnecessary.
Jiang Yu was taller than Jiang Wan. At this moment, she looked down at her and said coldly, “Jiang Wan, do you know?”
“Wh... What?”
“What people say subconsciously is often the truth.”
After saying this, Jiang Yu turned around and left.
After dealing with a few people in a row today and talking so much, she was exhausted. She just wanted to go to her room and lie down.
Jiang Wan was left stunned on the spot.
Jiang Yu’s last sentence seemed to have accumulated energy and landed a heavy blow.
Jiang Chenglang finally spoke up.
After Jiang Yu left, Jiang Chenglang said with a complicated expression, “Wan Wan, what you said today was indeed wrong.”
