Chapter 400: Chapter 145: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel (32)

"If we didn’t know, it’d be one thing, but now the rumors are all over the hospital. We have to do something about it, and we have to make our stance clear!"

Mrs. Jiang nodded. "I feel the same way. We watched Chi grow up. I adore everything about her. If this whole mess scares her away, where else would I find such a perfect daughter-in-law?"

"And what’s the deal with that Fang Yuying? Why is she latching onto our son?"

At the mention of this, Mrs. Jiang recalled what her eldest son had said.

She’d never imagined that Jiang Zishi, who always acted so well-behaved and sensible in public, was actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing. ’How did we ever mistreat him?’ she wondered. ’How could he ruin someone’s life over something so trivial?’

There was that high school classmate of Jiang Zishi’s for one, and Chi Yun’er had also nearly been blocked from returning to the city.

And those were just the things they knew about. What about the things they didn’t?

For instance, he had only been in the countryside for a little over a year. How was it that he just so happened to be the one who saved the village chief’s daughter, forcing him to take responsibility for her?

His sinister, vicious determination to stop at nothing to achieve his goals made her shudder just thinking about it. If Jiang Yihua hadn’t noticed Jiang Zishi’s strangeness early on and decided to leave home to study elsewhere, who knows what miserable state he’d be in by now!

Mrs. Jiang would rather not have a son like that. "Old Jiang, tell me, where did we go wrong? How did Zishu turn out like this?"

Father Jiang patted her on the shoulder. "Ms. Guo, on this matter, we both need to listen to our son. Zishu is an adult now. Whether he chooses to be a decent person or walk a dark path is no longer our concern."

"Over the years... even if we weren’t perfect, we absolutely prioritized him over Yihua."

"We did everything we were supposed to. If he was crooked to begin with, who can we blame?"

Father Jiang’s last words were almost a mumble to himself. "Dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and a rat’s son knows how to dig."

Mrs. Jiang hardened her heart. "That’s right. It’s enough that we raised him. We spent more than a decade painstakingly trying to guide him. In any case, my conscience is clear."

"He can fend for himself from now on. His household registration was transferred when he went to the countryside, so officially, he’s no longer a member of our family."
