Chapter 42 -42: The light boat has already collided with a huge iceberg; the boat will sink when it reaches the bridge.

Jiang Nanshu’s first thought was of Ji Ze, that frail young boy with red-rimmed eyes calling her “sister,” as if hoping she would look back at him.

For some reason, this blue diamond necklace also made Jiang Nanshu lose interest. She had never actually visited her foster parents’ home, but the memory of that two-story red brick house covered in wisteria was exceptionally clear.

She was an outsider in this world, so what would visiting these parents change?

Did they expect her to display filial piety?

Jiang Nanshu slightly closed her eyes. She had grown up only to have personally sent her parents to hell, never having duly honored them.

She lifted her head and sneered, “I won’t go.”

“Jiang Leyi, don’t think you can command me just because you give me gifts. I won’t go back to that wretched place.”

Jiang Leyi’s expression turned cold, her hand at her side clenched tight, “Why, you know Xiaoze, he…”

“Stop.” Jiang Nanshu raised her hand, cutting off what she was about to say: “Ji Ze is your brother, not mine! You saw it yourself—how much he detested me that day. Aren’t you afraid I’d anger your parents to death if I returned?”

“Don’t bother persuading me any further; he surely doesn’t want a sister like me either. It’d be distressing to meet.”

Jiang Nanshu was annoyed; for some reason, she was afraid of seeing Ji Ze and his family.

Jiang Leyi’s lips parted slightly, and finally, she sighed. She wanted to say things were not as Jiang Nanshu had seen, but Jiang Nanshu was very resistant, and Jiang Leyi was also afraid; if Jiang Nanshu changed her mind about visiting Ji Ze’s home…

This matter could only be postponed until she was ready to face it.

After finishing the crispy pork, braised pork knuckle, and crab roe vermicelli rolls, Jiang Nanshu leaned back in her chair, content and belching. Jiang Yunchuan went to the gym, and since Jiang Leyi had an acting job tomorrow, she wouldn’t stay overnight at the villa and left after eating. Jiang Nanshu stared blankly at the ceiling.

“The Jiang Family’s cook is really skilled; I wish I could bring them to school so I could order dishes every day.”

Mr. Jiang came downstairs, just in time to hear.

Glancing at the leftovers on the table, he asked seemingly offhandedly, “Nannan, is the food at home better or the food at school?”

Jiang Nanshu smacked her lips, “Home is better, I adore coming home.”

“Cough, if you like it, I’ll replace all the cooks at Jing University for you, how about that?” Mr. Jiang looked at Jiang Nanshu with an unexpectedly hopeful gaze.

Jiang Nanshu’s expression immediately became serious, “Dad, are you feverish?”

Mr. Jiang: “…”

All he wanted was to be kinder to Jiang Nanshu and make up for the affection he’d neglected to give her over the years; why was that so difficult?!

This girl was impenetrable!

Frustrated, he rubbed his forehead, “I was just joking.”

“Oh, okay then.”

“Ha, I knew it. How could the old man be so kind-hearted? If he really wanted to do it, why bother asking me? Fishing for a reaction?”

Mr. Jiang: “…”

What’s the deal, allergic to your own family?

Change! Next week, I must replace the chefs in the entire school, scare her to death!

Jiang Nanshu stood up, asking perfunctorily, “Where are Mom and Fourth Brother? Aren’t they having dinner?”

Mr. Jiang replied, “Your mother has a headache and went to sleep; your Fourth Brother’s food is prepared separately, and a servant will take it up.”
