When Chen irong ntioned work, Jiang Yi’s face imdiately fell.
"What work... I don’t want to go to work..."
Hearing this, Chen irong’s expression turned serious, and she began to speak with a hint of disappointnt.
"No work, how can that be? How will you earn anything? If people ask about you, how should I respond?"
Jiang Yi lifted her head directly, "Just tell the truth! Say I’m at ho not working, isn’t that fine? In families like ours, many kids don’t work. What’s there to be embarrassed about?"
At this, Jiang Yi’s face also turned cold, "Do you think I’ve embarrassed you?"
Chen irong turned her head away, "What nonsense are you saying? How could I think that way?"
It’s said that no one understands a daughter better than her mother, and this saying works both ways.
Just by watching Chen irong’s movents, Jiang Yi could already tell that she had hit the mark.
It was like touching Jiang Yi’s most sensitive nerve.
"I knew it!" Jiang Yi suddenly stood up, looking at Chen irong with an extra cold gaze, "You’ve been like this since I was young. Because she was prettier than , everyone always praised her and by extension praised you, so you always liked to take her everywhere."
"It wasn’t until later, when she was lost, that you finally saw and my brother."
"Now that she’s back, looking so pretty, and you know she’s capable, you think bringing her back will earn you more praise, right?"
"You’re just such a selfish person, always thinking about yourself. You don’t deserve to be a mother."
After yelling out these words hysterically, Jiang Yi didn’t care about Chen irong’s reaction and turned to run towards the main door.
Within monts, her figure disappeared at the doorway.
Chen irong hadn’t recovered from Jiang Yi’s words yet; by the ti she did, Jiang Yi was already gone.
Chen irong stood there, dazed, staring at the doorway, her breathing gradually becoming rapid.
She wanted to say sothing, but she was the only one left in the living room now.
She opened her mouth, but in the end, not a single word ca out.

Jiang Tongyuan returned to the yard after making a call and saw Jiang Ran and a few others sitting there silently.
Jiang Tongyuan sighed, "I’ve already called him, and he said he’d be here soon; it takes about half an hour from his place to mine."
In beishi, a half-hour journey from one place to another is quite normal.
Although Jiang Ran was a bit anxious, she had the patience to wait.
After hearing Jiang Tongyuan’s words, Jiang Ran nodded.
"Thank you."
Jiang Tongyuan waved it off, "It’s no trouble at all."
Jiang Ran smiled and said nothing more, and the atmosphere quickly beca tense again.
Though Jiang Tongyuan was getting on in years, he enjoyed lively environnts and especially disliked this suffocating silence.
After thinking for a mont, he spoke up.
"You’ve been in beishi for so ti now, do you have any plans for the future?"
Jiang Ran first smiled, then answered, "I plan to go to school."
She had already ntioned this earlier.
Upon hearing this response, Jiang Tongyuan suddenly rembered that Jiang Ran had indeed told him this before.
And, Jiang Ran was currently attending night school every day.
Jiang Tongyuan felt a bit awkward, realizing he had asked a redundant question.
