Chapter 562 Suspecting They Are Fighting for the Family Property
In the living room downstairs, Jiang Jinglan saw Jiang An taking Jiang Mubai upstairs, and immediately became dissatisfied.
"Mom! I've been eyeing that bracelet for a long time and asked you for it several times! It's fine if you don't give it to me, but why did you give it to that woman? Who is your biological daughter?"
"How can you talk like that? What kind of words did you say to that woman? She is the daughter your uncle brought back, your sister. Don't call others like that in the future. If I find out about it again, you won't get your pocket money anymore."
"Mom, why are you like this? Uncle's daughter has been in a car accident for so long. Do you really think she can show up alive? Even if uncle finds her and brings her back, don't you think it's strange that this is possible?"
"What do you mean?"
"What do you think I mean? Mom, you are so smart, can't you hear it? You just don't dare to think about it. Since you don't dare to say it, I will tell you. Anyway, I don't believe that the person uncle brought back is his daughter. Maybe this was planned by uncle to find a woman to pretend to be his daughter and bring her back to compete with us for the Jiang family's property."
Jiang Ping was furious when he heard his daughter say these words, "You don't do anything serious all day long, but think about these things in your head all day long. The Jiang family will not give less to your uncle and his daughter than to them. Even if Jiang Mubai is not Ah An's biological child, as long as Ah An has a child, she will have a share regardless of whether the child is alive or dead. Don't think that you can take back the family property just because they had a car accident before. There is no such thing. Don't let me hear these words from you again in the future. If it happens again, go to the ancestral hall and kneel down to apologize to our ancestors."
Jiang Jinglan knew his father's temper, so when he saw Jiang Ping really angry, he didn't dare to defend himself anymore.
Chen Qingyu couldn't bear to see her two closest people unhappy, so she immediately pulled Jiang Jinglan down and asked her to sit down and talk to her properly.
"Your father is right. Even if you are unhappy, you shouldn't just say it out loud. Not to mention that your uncle and Mu Bai are still upstairs. What if they hear what you said? Even if they didn't hear it, there are still so many servants around. If you slander your uncle and nominal sister like this, how will you maintain your reputation if it gets out? People will think we are bullying them in front of them and behind their backs. So next time, control your temper and don't speak without thinking. Do you understand?"
Jiang Jinglan was already feeling bad after being scolded by Jiang Ping, and now Chen Qingyu was not on her side either. Jiang Jinglan felt very aggrieved, but now Chen Qingyu was still waiting for her to express her opinion, so Jiang Jinglan couldn't just sit there and say nothing.
"I understand. I promise I won't say that again next time. Mom and Dad, I'm so sorry. I apologize for what I just said."
Jiang Ping didn't say anything, but he saw that Jiang Jinglan's expression improved a little after realizing his mistake.
Seeing that Jiang Jinglan was so sincere, Chen Qingyu naturally gave her a slap in the face and a sweet date as a reward.
"Okay, mom and dad don't really want to blame you. We educate you this way for your own good. You are old enough now and you should know the good intentions of us as parents. Don't you like that bracelet? Next time, mom will take you to the specialty store to buy you a better one than the one just now. Why get angry over such a small matter? You are the eldest daughter of the Jiang family and we have held you in our hands since you were a child. You should show this tolerance."
Seeing that Chen Qingyu was about to lecture him, Jiang Jinglan immediately changed the subject and stopped her from speaking any further.
"Okay, okay, mom, I know I was wrong and I promise I won't do it again next time. Just remember what you said about taking me to buy a bracelet."
"Buy, buy, buy! Mom will definitely do what she promised you. When I have time, I will take you to the street."
Seeing Chen Qingyu agreed, Jiang Jinglan took out her trump card and immediately acted like a spoiled child, "Mom, you are so nice. I knew you were the best to me."
"Okay, stop acting like a spoiled child. Aren't you ashamed to act like a spoiled child in front of your mother when you're this old? Hurry up and get up. I'm going to the kitchen to watch them cook. If you want to eat anything, I'll ask the kitchen to make it for you."
"I want to eat the braised lion's head made by Aunt Huang. Please ask her to make me one."
"Okay, go do whatever you need to do."
After Chen Qingyu left, Jiang Jinglan didn't want to stay under the same roof with Jiang Ping, so she left the living room and went back to her room. She was afraid that Jiang Ping would pull her aside to lecture her on some moral principles, and Jiang Jinglan didn't want to listen, so she avoided this possibility.
Although Jiang Jinglan pretended to others that the matter was over, in her heart she still insisted that Jiang Mubai was not her uncle's biological daughter.
Moreover, Jiang Jinglan still cared about the fact that Chen Qingyu gave the bracelet that he had been eyeing for a long time to Jiang Mubai. Jiang Jinglan agreed verbally, but in his heart he still planned to take revenge on Jiang Mubai.
Jiang Mubai and Jiang An naturally didn't know what happened in the living room downstairs. If Jiang Mubai knew that Jiang Jinglan would hate her because she accepted the bracelet, she would never accept the bracelet.
Of course, there is nothing in this world that can be known in advance, and Chen Qingyu did not expect that a bracelet would trigger a series of events that followed.
After Jiang An left the room, Jiang Mubai closed the door and began to look around. The room was well decorated, and it was obvious that Chen Qingyu had really put a lot of thought into it.
The room has a small balcony from which you can see the view from the main house to the front door, and the sun shines in. It is indeed in a good location. There is also a rocking chair on the balcony, and the owner of the room can lie on it to bask in the sun.
But Jiang Mubai was not in the mood to bask in the sun. She carefully put away the bracelet given by Chen Qingyu. Since she didn't plan to wear it on her hand, she had to protect it well, lest she would be sad if it got broken.
After putting her things away, Jiang Mubai was indeed tired after sitting in the car for two hours. She was pregnant now and her body was not as good as before, so she was more intolerant to many things than before.
The quilt and bed were very comfortable. Jiang Mubai saw that it was still early for Li to have lunch, so he simply let himself fall asleep.
It was an hour and a half later when she woke up again. Jiang Mubai thought it was time for lunch, so she didn't go back to sleep but got up and washed and tidied herself up. One good thing about the Jiang family's old house was that each room came with a bathroom, which Jiang Mubai liked very much. After she washed up, she waited in the room for Jiang An to come up and call her down to eat.
Although she could have gone straight down to the living room and waited, it was Jiang Mubai's first time at the old house and she didn't want to act too casual or unrestrained, so she stayed in the room and waited for someone to call her.
