Chapter 49 - 49: Both Sisters Are Useful In Their Own Way
"The Jiang family has four sons and two daughters. The two daughters will definitely be married off, and the other three sons have no intention of competing with Jiang Chenglang for the family fortune."
"Therefore, if he wants to get in with the Jiang family, it's indeed a smart idea to start with the daughters of the Jiang family. Unfortunately... it looks like Jiang Yu will not amount to much."
Feng Junhao sneered, "I was wondering why you suddenly asked me to tutor her today. I didn't know that you had this idea. After all, Jiang Yu has just returned after years of living with a small family."
"So what if she's originally a swan? After living with the ducks for so long, she will only ever be an ugly duckling."
Feng Wenshu clicked his tongue and said, "Indeed. I originally wanted to poach Jiang Yu from right under Feng Linbai's nose, but after looking at her today..."
"Dad," Feng Junhao said somewhat incredulously. "When people compare the two Jiang sisters, all will definitely choose Jiang Wan."
"You can't say that."
Feng Wenshu shook his head. "No matter how great Jiang Wan is, she is still just the stepdaughter of the Jiang family. She doesn't have strong blood ties with the brothers of the Jiang family.".
"Jiang Chenglang is only being so nice to her because she was a daughter who was brought in by her stepmother. But now that the real daughter is back, how the dynamic of the Jiang family will change... is still uncertain."
Feng Junhao thought for a moment and said, "Dad, what you said makes sense."
People from wealthy families have always valued blood bonds over all else.
"So, it's always better to give yourself more than one option."
Feng Wenshu said, "You can try to get in touch with both the sisters of the Jiang family. Both of them will be useful in their own way. I know that Jiang Wan is in the same class as you. Jiang Yu... let's just leave it for now."
Feng Junhao smiled. "I understand, Dad."
...
Feng Junhao and Feng Wenshu finally left. The world returned to silence.
Jiang Yu sat back on the stone bench. She brought the cup to her lips and recoiled. The tea had gone cold.
Feng Linbai seemed to read her mind. "I'll get someone to change the tea for you."
Jiang Yu shook her head. "I want to have some lemonade instead."
"Alright then." Feng Linbai laughed. "I'll get someone to prepare it for you."
She didn't like the Earl Grey tea that had been prepared for her. She only wanted to drink lemonade.
He had not thought it through. After their last meeting, he should have made a point to remember this fact. It was because he wanted to prepare something special for her, thus he decided to change things up.
Next time, he will not forget.
A maid quickly brought the lemonade over.
Jiang Yu held a cup of lemonade and sipped it slowly. She glanced at Feng Linbai and asked, "Why aren't you getting up?"
Feng Linbai replied nonchalantly, "Because you're still sitting down."
Jiang Yu paused.
Was he trying to throw the responsibility to her?
She refused to carry it.
She put down her cup and stood up. "Then I'll stand up now."
Only then did Feng Linbai slowly get to his feet.
The first time they met, Feng Linbai had been sitting in a wheelchair. The second time they met, they were sitting and chatting.
This time, as the two of them stood close to each other, only then did Jiang Yu realize that Feng Linbai was tall in stature.
As a girl, anyone could hardly call her short but she barely reached Feng Linbai's shoulder.
He had to be at least 6 feet, right?
As he felt Jiang Yu's gaze on him, Feng Linbai settled into a good mood.
He liked the feeling of the little lady's gaze on him. It was best if she only looked at him.
"Let's go."
Jiang Yu looked at him and said. "Don't you need to bring something?"
