Chapter 19 -19 Don’t Panic when Trouble Arises, Start by Passing the Buck

Jiang Nanshu smiled gently amidst the angry gaze of the youth.

The smile made the red tear mole under the corner of her left eye even more vivid, adding a bright, rose-like radiance to her appearance.

She pointed directly at Jiang Leyi and said to the youth in a gentle tone, “I’m not looking for you, I’m looking for her.”

It would have been better if Jiang Nanshu had kept quiet, but her words made the young boy break into tears.

As if Jiang Nanshu were some unforgivable villain.

But she had no interest in appeasing a child, even if this was Ji Ze, her foster brother with whom she had lived day and night for eleven years.

He was fifteen this year, attended Mingde Middle School, and was currently a freshman.

Jiang Leyi’s eyebrows furrowed, and she sneered, “Every time you come, it’s never for anything good. What now? Do you want to spread rumors again, like you did when Xiaoze was in middle school, claiming your foster parents treated you poorly and abused you? Do you know how much emotional damage Xiaoze suffered from being isolated and coldly treated by his classmates because of that? Even if you want to sever ties with your past self, how can you hurt a child like this? Don’t you have a conscience?”

Ji Ze was already tearing up, his eyes red.

He stared intently at Jiang Nanshu, as if trying to find his former sister through her now glamorous appearance.

[I don’t have anything as nice as a conscience, you’re giving me too much credit.]

Jiang Leyi paused for a moment, realizing she was hearing Jiang Nanshu’s inner voice, and was about to explode in anger when she saw Jiang Nanshu grab a handful of candied chestnuts from her hand and put them in Ji Ze’s hand in a fierce gesture, “I hate it when kids cry. Don’t cry, or I’ll beat you until you shut up.”

Ji Ze was frightened by Jiang Nanshu’s fierce demeanor, staring dumbly as those soft, pale hands opened his palm and solemnly placed the candied chestnuts in it.

[Don’t cry, I surrender, I don’t know how to comfort, I’ve even given you my favorite candied chestnuts, can this make things better?]

In the next instant, Ji Ze angrily threw the candied chestnuts onto the ground, shouting with teary eyes, “I don’t want your stuff! It’s disgusting.”

Jiang Nanshu blinked, showing no sign of hurt feelings, and tried to defend herself, “The chestnuts are clean; they’re edible. I ate a lot on the way here.” freēwēbηovel.c૦m

Ji Ze shot off like a naughty child caught in wrongdoing and ran far away.

[Hey! It’s okay to be angry, but why throw away my chestnuts! If I had known, I wouldn’t have tried to appease you.]

Jiang Nanshu was pouty but consciously maintained her crafty persona, “Hmph, bad kid. Jiang Leyi, you must have deliberately taught him that. I’ve only been gone for three years and he’s turned out like this. It must be your doing!”

[When you encounter trouble, don’t panic, just shift the blame.]

Jiang Leyi: “…”

What to do, suddenly I can’t bring myself to hate her.

Even though it’s the same person, the dynamic Jiang Nanshu inside seems much more interesting.

“If it wasn’t for you, would he be like this?” She crossed her arms and snorted coldly, then quickly changed the subject, “What do you want from me? I have to go play an adversarial role with the lead actress in ten minutes, so you’d better talk fast.”

“Heh, just quit acting with your lousy skills. Even a passing dog acts better than you.” Jiang Nanshu engaged in a risky endeavor.

Jiang Leyi was about to retaliate, but then Jiang Nanshu’s inner voice reached her:

[Actually, your acting is much better than Su Ran’s. She acts like a zombie, the kind that even a passing dog would kick twice, but I won’t compliment you to your face.]

This sarcasm, combined with Jiang Nanshu’s haughty expression, one that said “I’m the coolest sister,” successfully made Jiang Leyi laugh.

Jiang Nanshu: ?????

[How can you laugh when you’re being insulted? Did you think of something happy? Like meeting that scumbag who exploits you like an ox and a horse, that PUA? Hmm, seems like he’s in the same crew as you…]

Jiang Leyi’s smile froze.

She suddenly remembered Jiang Nanshu’s earliest inner voice about her being harvested for organs, like having her kidneys dug out and corneas donated.
