When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 431

Chapter 431: Chapter 155: The Green Tea Female Supporting Character in a Period Novel (42)

"Adopted you out of guilt? Worried about their reputation, so they put on a front in public and treated you differently behind your back?"

"Those are my parents. If they didn’t favor their own flesh and blood, then something would be wrong!"

"What do you have to be indignant about?"

"Do you really think your opportunistic maternal grandparents would ever pass up a chance to demand some handouts?"

"The truth will never be covered up by lies. We have a clear conscience."

"Since you’re so ungrateful, then one family will become two, and we’ll go our separate ways."

"When it comes down to it, this is all just your inferiority complex and greed at work. You’re terrified my parents will abandon you. So you use that as an excuse to hide your own selfishness, hoping to get everything for nothing and take the entire Jiang Family for yourself, isn’t that it?"

"Don’t you think just being raised to adulthood means you already owe the Jiang Family far too much?"

"I’ve never seen anyone so utterly heartless and ungrateful."

Jiang Yihua spoke bluntly, not bothering to lower his voice. He said whatever would be most hurtful, twisting the knife with every word. And he did it all with a calm, condescending, and contemptuous attitude—the very kind Jiang Zishi couldn’t stand.

’When dealing with villains and petty people, why bother holding back? Why should I rein in my presence and spare his pride or fragile ego?’

’Not a chance!’

Chi Yun’er listened, her foxy eyes crinkling with amusement.

Jiang Zishi clenched his fists, his face flushing red. ’It was true. The only leverage he had in the Jiang Family was pretending he didn’t know his origins, allowing him to keep throwing tantrums like the youngest son.’

’Now that the truth was out, he was just the Jiang Family’s adopted son, kicked out of the house.’

’The story about his birth mother’s death was just a rumor, with no hard evidence. And even though it happened some twenty years ago, plenty of people from the older generation had witnessed it.’

’If he used his head at all, he’d know that what happened back then had nothing to do with Father Jiang.’

’But the kindness the Jiang Family had shown in raising him was an undeniable fact!’

’He was the one in the wrong, no one else.’

’And yet, he refused to accept this cruel reality. Why should he be the pitiful one, indebted to everyone? While Jiang Yihua got to have everything so easily?’

Jiang Zishi gritted his teeth and said in a low voice,

"What did Mom and Dad say? I don’t believe they’ll take your side."
