Mr. Jiang plopped down on the sofa as if the sky was falling.
Hmm, the bankruptcy of the company would indeed drive him mad.
The Jian Family started by selling soap during the period of the Republic of China and had become one of the top fifty national enterprises.
It was perfect except for being somewhat inferior to the Lu Family.
The company had been running for a hundred years, and its bankruptcy meant not only would he go mad, but he might also lose his life.
And his third son, how could he just die like that?
He really wanted to ask Jiang Nanshu right there and then what their family's fate would be.
However, he didn't want to reveal that he could hear her thoughts. His daughter had always been distant from them, so it could be said that it was understandable even if she didn't care about their life or death.
In the years since she had returned home, he hadn't paid much attention to her.
Perhaps, this was a way for heaven to let them know her true feelings, to compensate her?
Mr. Jiang had many thoughts in an instant.
His feelings were complicated because Jiang Leyi had been spoiled from a young age, given all their love, and brought up to be a top socialite. Before Jiang Nanshu showed up, Jiang Leyi had always been the pride of the Jiang Family.
Thus, three years ago, when the unrefined and illiterate Jiang Nanshu appeared before them, it was like a rift had been torn in their warm home.
Despite the family's efforts to satisfy her desires, she remained discontent.
Jiang Leyi wanted to move out and find her biological parents.
But after all, she was a daughter they had raised for sixteen years, and it wasn't so easy to let go.
Therefore, Mrs. Jiang suggested that the two sisters should get along peacefully.
But Jiang Nanshu's demeanor changed from gentle initially to extremely radical whenever she saw Jiang Leyi, blaming her for taking away the affection that rightfully belonged to her. As a result, aside from his four sons who had already made achievements, Jiang Leyi seldom came back.
She entered the entertainment industry, spending most of her time living with the crew or at least in the school dormitory.
Jiang Nanshu's thoughts weren't on Mr. Jiang, but on selecting a few mental hospitals she thought were good.
Mr. Jiang stood up and suddenly stretched out his large hand to touch her fluffy head.
Jiang Nanshu stiffened, looking at him with puzzled eyes, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, Dad just wanted to ask if there's anything you want for your gift. Your nineteenth birthday is coming up soon." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
[Huh? What's up with the old man? Being so nice to me all of a sudden, could it be a prelude to kicking me out of the house?]
Mr. Jiang felt bitter inside...
Because they really had thought about it, if Jiang Nanshu continued to be unruly, they would send her away.
So she already knew.
[Then I should take more money. That way I won't end up homeless after leaving. Affection can betray, but money won't. It would be nice to buy my freedom, and I promise not to come back.]
She suddenly raised a bright smile and dodged his touching hand, "I don't really want anything, just direct transfer of money would be fine."
Mr. Jiang's hand froze.
His gaze was extraordinarily complex.
It had been more than three years.
He had never really looked at Jiang Nanshu.
What he heard most often was about her causing trouble somewhere or doing some foolish thing.
Always using these lowly and foolish methods to attract their attention.
Both annoying and disgusting to them.
He softly responded with an affectionate smile on his face, "Nanshu is really good, wait for your birthday and Daddy will give you a big red envelope."
Jiang Nanshu looked as if she had seen a ghost.
What the heck!
