Chapter 896: Don’t Call Me Second Brother
Mrs Jiang’s heart ached when she saw that. She hugged Jiang Yao in her arms and coaxed her gently. “Yaoyao, don’t cry. Your second brother is only bullying you. Let your father take care of it!”
Mr Jiang was also furious. He picked up the feather duster in the corner and waved it at Jiang Lei as he scolded him. “You dare yell at your sister because of an outsider? Do you think you’re all grown up now? I can beat you to death, and I’d still have a son and a daughter. I don’t lack sons, but I only have a daughter. How would you compensate me if you upset her?”
“Jiang Yao! Wow, you can’t win in a quarrel, so you complained about it? How old are you now? Don’t you have any shame!” Mr Jiang beat Jiang Lei until he had to hide in the yard. Mr Jiang was an old man, and he did not dare to retaliate. What else could he do except to hide?
All that was left to do was to curse at Jiang Yao.
“You still dare to talk about your sister. It seems that I’ve beaten you too lightly!” When Mr Jiang heard that, he became even angrier. Initially, he was only willing to use 50% of his strength, but then he decided to use his full force.
How could Yang Gaoshu not understand that? Jiang Lei’s father had deliberately said that to show her. At that moment, she felt extremely wronged. She did not care about Jiang Lei; she turned and left.
Mr Jiang continued to chase Jiang Lei, so the latter did not notice it when Yang Gaoshu had left. When his father stopped hitting him, he had only realized that Yang Gaoshu had disappeared. He wanted to chase after her, but it was apparent that he would not be able to catch up to her.
“Jiang Yao! You’re good! Don’t call me Second Brother in the future. You can think of me as an ungrateful wretch from your past!” Jiang Lei pointed his finger at his sister from afar. The anger on his face made Jiang Yao wonder if Jiang Lei would hit her if their big brother were not there to protect her.
Jiang Yao felt wronged when she saw the fury on Jiang Lei’s face. She felt angry and aggrieved.
“Jiang Lei, just be stupid! I’ll see when you wake up from your foolishness!” Jiang Yao was so angry that she stomped her feet and ran back to her room.
Wang Xian immediately chased after her. Jiang Lei walked toward Jiang Lei with a cold face and raised his hand to slap him. “Jiang Lei, you’ve crossed the line!”
“Eldest Brother! It was Yaoyao’s fault!” Jiang Lei had felt guilty when he saw the tears on his sister’s face. He regretted his harsh words. However, when their big brother scolded him, he had refused to accept it. “I don’t bring Gaoshu home with me often, but you guys have driven her away! You guys just want me to be single for the rest of my life!”
“How can you say that? Why would we want you to be single?” Jiang Jie felt that his brother had crossed the line with his words. He slapped Jiang Lei’s head. “Yaoyao grew up with us, and she’s even like a twin to you. Has she ever lied to you?”
“You said that she’s like a twin to me. Who knows if she’s jealous of me being nice to other people?” Jiang Lei scratched his head at the place where his brother had slapped.
“Do you really think Yaoyao is someone like that? Your sister-in-law and I are getting married. Have you seen her go and mess with your sister-in-law? Doesn’t she treat her like family? Besides, she has Lu Xingzhi to pamper her; why would she need you to dote on her?” Jiang Jie understood better than Jiang Lei; he knew that Jiang Yao did not like Yang Gaoshu because that woman had toyed with Jiang Lei.
“Jiang Lei, Mom and Dad don’t like your girlfriend, and Yaoyao doesn’t like her either. And to tell you the truth, I don’t like her too. Think about why we don’t like her; what do we dislike about her?”
