Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: Warm Familial Affection (1)

Nianyang lifted her eyes to look at Jiang Tian. The girl was wearing a floral checkered shirt, and her round apple face was adorned with eyes like black grapes, full of vitality.

However, due to everything good at home being taken by the original person to give to the Gu Family, her nutrition couldn't keep up, making her look as thin as a stick, even worse than the original person's situation.

In the original person's memory, Jiang Tian was the only one who was truly a good friend to the original person. Because she couldn't stand the original person being deceived by Gu Youlan, she repeatedly stood up for the original person, encouraging her to wake up. Yet, the original person was not appreciative and even blamed Jiang Tian for ruining her sisterly bond with Gu Youlan.

She even quarreled with Jiang Tian several times under Gu Youlan's instigation, proposing to end their friendship, which left Jiang Tian heartbroken and later ignored the original person completely.

Nianyang couldn't help but curse the foolish original person in her heart, unable to tell right from wrong, causing her to bear these burdens now. It's truly hair-pulling.

"Sweet sister..."

"Don't call me sweet sister, we're not friends anymore!"

Jiang Tian said angrily, "Gu Nianyang, get this straight. This is the Jiang Family. On what grounds do you keep coming over to take things from my home? From childhood to now, my parents have been extremely kind to you, giving you all the good things, even putting me behind. Our family is poor as it is, eating only two meals a day, and still occasionally adding food for you. It's fine if you eat it yourself, but you take our rations to sustain those heartless ones of your family, causing my parents to never be full. How can you be so selfish!"

"Jiang Tian, why are you shouting? Who allows you to have such an attitude toward Yangyang?" Jiang Aiguo glared fiercely. He had always protected Nianyang, not allowing anyone to speak ill of her, even if it was his own daughter.

"Dad, wasn't I right to say? She's just an ungrateful wolf. Our family gave her so many rations, but all she sees is that exploitative Gu Family. No matter how sincere we are to her, to her we're just outsiders."

Sun Li patted Jiang Tian's shoulder, "Sweet, you misunderstood. These eggs were brought by Yangyang for us!"

Jiang Tian widened her eyes, as if she had seen a ghost. "How is that possible?"

Nianyang actively stepped forward to hold Jiang Tian's hand. "Sweet sister, I was wrong before, but I have seen things clearly now. The Gu Family never treated me as a daughter, and Gu Youlan never took me as a sister. I will no longer let them manipulate me, nor will I give a stitch from your family to the Gu Family. Please forgive me."

Jiang Tian gave a cold hum, "I don't believe it, you're just a pushover. Wait till that cunning Gu Youlan sweet-talks you again, then you'll run back to lick boots, and finally, blame me for destroying your sisterly bond with her."

Saying this in an acid tone, she truly cherished Nianyang as a friend, but in Nianyang's heart, she couldn't compete with Gu Youlan. How could she not feel hurt?

"Sweet, why are you speaking like this?" Sun Li reprimanded in a low voice, although she too disliked Gu Youlan. But since she was Nianyang's biological sister, what if Nianyang felt uncomfortable after listening?

"I'm speaking the truth, Dad, Mom, Gu Nianyang is just an idiot who can't tell good from bad. Don't just look at the eggs she's given us now; who knows what's really going on in her mind. She's been suppressed by the Gu Family for so many years without any spine; how could she suddenly change?"

Jiang Aiguo and Sun Li hesitated slightly, looking at Nianyang, who also knew they didn't trust her words much.

Nianyang blinked and said, "Uncle, Auntie, Sweet sister, I know I did many foolish things in the past, just think my brain was squashed by a door. I've really changed now. Yesterday, I even made a big scene in front of everyone, exposing my parent's true colors to the neighbors. I won't take any more from the Gu Family now."

"Really? You dare to stand up against your parents?" Jiang Tian clearly didn't believe it.

Nianyang, with good temper, said, "Sweet sister, if you don't believe me, you can go out and randomly ask someone. Yesterday was quite a spectacle, I believe it's already spread."

Although Nianyang was weak, she wouldn't lie. Hearing her say this, they believed her.

Jiang Tian muttered, "Alright, I'll tentatively believe you. If you dare cheat me, I really won't care about you anymore."

"Then are we reconciled?" Nianyang smiled with squinted eyes.

"That depends on your performance." Jiang Tian showed a proud face, but in reality, she was very happy. After breaking off with Nianyang, she had been depressed. Now that Nianyang has completely changed, she feels wonderful.
