When I made this request, I could clearly see Jiang Qing frown.
"What, Dad, are you upset?"
"Not really, it's so cold outside today..."
I interrupted him impatiently, "Cold? So you know what cold feels like, Dad. Don't forget what you did when I was ten."
That year, Jiang Wanwan was taken home for the New Year.
He ended up being framed by Jiang Zhi, who broke his favorite vase, with Lin Hui adding fuel to the fire.
Originally, Jiang Qing wouldn't have been so furious over a vase, but Jiang Wanwan was too stubborn. She didn't try to prove herself, insisting she hadn't broken it. With two others fanning the flames, she was punished by being made to kneel in the snow.
If Xu Lan hadn't arrived quickly, who knows how much longer she would have had to kneel. "Dad, you keep saying my mom is Mrs. Jiang, but you let Jiang Zhi do whatever she wants. If she's not disciplined and restrained, she'll smash things today and tomorrow. If anything happens to Mom, who's responsible?"
Mom's in the early stages of her pregnancy, and I don't want this idiot to know about her pregnancy.
After all, Lin Hui behind her is no easy opponent. Less trouble is better than more, so I didn't say it directly and changed the subject.
"You're reluctant to punish Jiang Zhi, but you made me, a ten-year-old, kneel. As your daughter, I don't have to be your daughter. I..."
All I need to do is use some moral coercion, and Jiang Qing is helpless.
"Your sister is right. You've been lawless all these years. It's time to teach you a lesson, to make you recognize your place. This isn't the place for you to act so recklessly."
Jiang Zhi was on the verge of tears as she watched the bodyguards skillfully pick up the pieces. Soon, she was being carried out the door. She screamed, "Dad, you can't do this to me! I'm your daughter, Jiang Wanwan, you bitch! I won't let you go!"
Her body was mercilessly thrown onto the debris by the bodyguard, and my eyes turned cold as I pinned her down.
Her hands were immediately cut, and blood was dripping.
"Ah!"
"Scream! The louder you scream, the happier I am."
"You pervert!"
"Jiang Zhi, do you feel pain too? Don't forget what you and your daughter have done. Twenty whole years, and this isn't even enough to pay the interest!"
Jiang Zhi looked at me in agony. "Don't be so proud! My dad loves me so much. If you torture me like this, he'll only hate you more."
"Then let him hate you. I told you, I don't need this father, but you and your restless mother, I'll repay you a hundredfold!"
"Just having your financial lifeline cut off makes you... Are you in so much pain? Don't forget, if your shameless mother hadn't drugged my father, you wouldn't have been born. You were destined to be a crow, and you've been living a life of luxury for so many years. Now I'm just asking you to go back to where you belong. So, you can't stand it at all?
"Jiang Wanwan, you..."
I grabbed her hair and said harshly, "Feel this pain! This is just the beginning!"
Jiang Zhi was breathless from the pain. Even speaking caused a piercing pain in her hands and knees. I stared at her coldly and pointed out the key point. "Besides, I'm not the one you want to blame. Don't forget who sent you to the police. You know exactly how Su Nanfeng died."
After I reminded her, Jiang Zhi finally realized, "It was Su Ning'an. Su Nanfeng was just her scapegoat!"
"That's right. She was the one you hired to kill. Su Nanfeng died, and then the police got a lead. Who do you think did it?"
I gradually coaxed her. "Yes, I hate what you and your daughter did, but I was the one who got you out! But it was Su Ning'an who wanted you dead. Jiang Zhi, you're such an ungrateful fool."
"You almost had your life taken away, and you still have the time to throw things around? I'm afraid you won't even know how you'll die one day."
After that, I turned and left, instructing the bodyguards nearby, "Watch her. Don't let her get up." Kneel down."
Jiang Qing calmed my mother and came out to see Jiang Zhi, her hand covered in blood. "Her hand..."
I glanced at her calmly. "It's just a minor wound, nothing fatal. If you're worried, you can send her away."
Hearing my threatening tone, Jiang Qing quickly shut up. "I'm just asking, Wanwan, you don't have to be so extreme."
I sneered and dragged him into the house, closing the door behind me before speaking. "Dad, are you really stupid or just pretending to be? Mom is in the early stages of her pregnancy. She's pregnant at an advanced age. Lin Hui came to provoke her when she was pregnant. What if she knew about Mom's pregnancy and sent Jiang Zhi to cause a scene? You're reluctant to punish Jiang Zhi because of our bloodline. If Mom gets pregnant because of this, and Jiang Zhi is your daughter, does that mean the child in Mom's belly is no longer yours?"
I felt a little guilty as I said this. After all, even Mom couldn't confirm it.
But she's Mrs. Jiang now. As long as the child isn't born, it must be Jiang Qing's! I dropped another bombshell: "Jiang Zhi is just a daughter, but my mom is carrying two lives!"
The first prenatal checkup only confirmed a pregnancy, but didn't reveal twins. Jiang Qing was stunned when he heard this.
"Wanwan, what do you mean?"
"Didn't my mom tell you she's pregnant with twins?"
My mom hadn't said much these days and seemed annoyed by him. How could she possibly tell him?
Jiang Qing was overjoyed. He actually loved children, boy or girl; having one was always better.
He quickly stepped forward and kissed my mom. "Thank you, honey."
My mom rolled her eyes. "Get away from me! I'm sick of you."
Jiang Qing didn't mind, a smile on his face.
I said coldly, "Dad, what about Jiang Zhi..."
"Let her kneel! Get up when she realizes her mistake."
"Okay~"
See, a single-celled man is so easy to coax.
No wonder Lin Hui's coaxing worked.
But now, the whip that whipped the spinning top is in my hands. If I'm not mistaken, Su Ning'an wouldn't dare move for the time being.
If she didn't dare move, I'd find a way to add fuel to the fire.
Jiang Zhi is my best weapon.
But I have a feeling that Lin Hui, having coaxed Jiang Qing for twenty years, must have some tricks up her sleeve.
Has she already noticed my mother's pregnancy? Was she doing it intentionally or unintentionally today?
Making trouble is fake; provoking my mother is the real deal.
Seeing my gloomy face, Lu Yanchen handed me a peeled orange.
Knowing I don't like the white veins on oranges, he peeled it cleanly for me.
"Try it, it's sweet."
I was still angry, but my heart softened instantly. "Okay."
A moment later, Lin Hui arrived in person.
The old fox has arrived.
I wanted to see what kind of stunt this old fox was going to perform with me.
Unexpectedly, Lin Hui knelt down before me the moment we met.
The sudden movement startled me; I was still terrified after being murdered once. Before she could get close, I leaped into Lu Yanchen's arms and clung tightly to his neck.
"Ah Yan, save me..."
