The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind novel Chapter 217

Chapter 217: Chapter 217 How Can You Steal Someone Else’s Opportunity

Mrs. Jiang’s hand trembled, almost throwing a bag of high-end beauty luxuries away.

What the hell?

Products brought from her maternal home could cause cancer?!

Jiang Nanshu shook her head, still obedient, "No, Mom, you eat them yourself, I don’t like these."

Not to mention Jiang Nanshu, she didn’t want to eat them now either.

Mrs. Jiang forced a smile, "It’s okay if you don’t like them, you’re a young girl with good skin, eating too much might even be bad. Go play in the living room, I’m going upstairs."

Mrs. Jiang took a pile of stuff and walked to the family elevator.

[It’s a bit strange, why after you died, your maternal family actually supported Chu Xin in taking over. You’re not the fake daughter in "True and False Heiresses" are you?]

Mrs. Jiang almost lost her composure.

That’s absolutely impossible!

She entered the elevator with a scowl.

She knew her own maternal family well, a family of scholars, it was impossible for something like a child mix-up to happen.

But what she hadn’t expected was, after her death, her own maternal family actually supported Chu Xin in taking over!

How could this be possible!

They would never agree to Mr. Jiang remarrying, and with her children all grown up, Chu Xin stepping in wouldn’t bring any benefits. Why bother?

Mrs. Jiang was extremely distressed.

Looking for someone to talk to, she found she had no confidants.

Mr. Jiang was still mad at her for using Jiang Nanshu as Jiang Leyi’s stepping stone, and hadn’t spoken to her for two days, nor had he come home.

After much thought, she could only turn to Jiang Leyi.

When she called Jiang Leyi, there was some noise on the other end.

"Hello? Yiyi, where are you?"

"I’m at a show out of town, you called just as I got off stage. What’s wrong?"

Mrs. Jiang hesitated, slowly tearing up, wiping her tears, "Yiyi, I don’t know who to talk to. Nannan seems to dislike me, no matter what I do, it’s useless. She doesn’t consider me at all. Your maternal family dislikes her rural upbringing and wants me to press her into etiquette training. I refused because I thought she couldn’t handle it. I always have her best interests at heart."

Jiang Leyi was silent on the other end.

Finally she said, "Yes, you were afraid it would be too hard on her, so you didn’t let her learn, yet you forced all the things she should have learned onto me. Mom... have you ever truly had Nannan’s best interests at heart? I don’t want to hear you cry about how Nannan isn’t affectionate towards you, because it’s not just you, she isn’t affectionate with any of us. But still, I’m thankful for her, I like her a lot, Mom. You can’t always live according to others’ words, forcing yourself to appear flawless. Let me be honest, even if my maternal family asked me to leave the Jiang family, I would agree."

"No!" Mrs. Jiang’s voice turned sharp, "You are my daughter, nobody can make you leave, nobody can."

"Mom..."

"Yiyi, you are the child I struggled to keep. Are you going to abandon me? Your maternal family is just talking; they won’t send you away. I know them best, they won’t harm you. You are also the child they’ve watched grow up."

Mrs. Jiang was somewhat obsessed with Jiang Leyi, whom she had painstakingly nurtured into the perfect lady.

Externally, she also said that she and Jiang Nanshu were twin sisters, just that the younger sister was accidentally left in the countryside at birth. She had secured Jiang Leyi the status of the eldest young lady of the Jiang family. What more could she ask for? Jiang Nanshu was her sister too, and the sisters helping and supporting each other would be wonderful.

This heavy maternal love made Jiang Leyi feel suffocated.

All these should have belonged to Jiang Nanshu.

Just thinking about this.

Made Jiang Leyi want to cry.
