Chapter 109: You Should Get a Different Son-In-Law

When the school bully trio found out about this, they deeply regretted being the school bully in high school and not putting all their energy into their studies.

Zhao Dejia: [If I’d studied harder, I’d have been able to get into Beijing Uni and go with Boss. If I had met that Gu guy, the Boss wouldn’t have had to do it herself.”

Yu Tailai: [I’m starting to work hard. I’ll definitely get into Beijing University and become a graduate student.]

Fang Zhenghui: [Boss, will you be going for further study at Beijing Uni?]

Jiang Xun: [I haven’t thought about that yet. Let’s talk about it in the future.]

After typing out her message, Jiang Xun put away her cell phone and ran over to the Jiang residence.

If Xiaoze was already so angry, she was sure that Jiang Chengye would be in an even worse mood, so it was time for her to go back and reap a wave of Merit Points.

When the system found out Jiang Xun’s purpose, it almost sympathized with Chengye. How did a host like Jiang Xun become his daughter?

This was practically punishment!

Jiang Xun rolled her eyes. “Yeah, it’s definitely punishment. If he didn’t cheat back then, he wouldn’t have been tricked by Yuexi now.”

She’d deliberately decided to go back to the Jiang family home during dinner time. Perhaps she could even get a full meal out of this.

*

At the door of the Jiang family’s home, Jiang Xun rang the doorbell. When Aunt Zhang saw who was standing at the door, she said in surprise, “Miss!”

She didn’t say it quietly, and so Chengye and the others heard it.

“Jiang Xun?” Chengye stood up and was about to go to the door when he suddenly realized something was wrong. He quickly sat down and pretended to be calm. “So she does know that she should come back after all that!”

Aunt Zhang understood what Chengye meant and quickly opened the door for Jiang Xun.

After a while, Jiang Xun’s voice could be heard from the front door. “Aunt Zhang, is dinner ready?”

“It’s just done. I’m just about to serve it to the table,” Aunt Zhang said with a smile.

Judging from Jiang Xun’s actions, it almost didn’t seem like she had been kicked out of the house before. It was as if there had never been any conflict for her to come back so naturally like this.

Chengye snorted coldly and shouted at the top of his lungs, “So you do know when to come back!”

However, he had no intention of chasing Jiang Xun away this time.

Jiang Xun walked into the living room and curled her lips. “Weren’t you the one who told me to get lost back then?”

Chengye had originally wanted to give himself a way out, trying to brush his actions back then under the rug, but who knew that she would bring it up again.

“Then why did you come back!” Chengye cursed this unfilial daughter in his heart. Couldn’t she just give him a way out? He didn’t even mention that thing with Qin Mufeng!

“Xiaoze came to me today and blamed me for exposing their fraudulent ways, so I beat him up.” Jiang Xun crossed her arms and raised her chin. “So I came back to see how you were. Did you sponsor the show?”

Chengye closed his eyes for a while when he saw Jiang Xun’s arrogant and innocent look.

But then, he suddenly felt like there was something wrong with her words. “What did you say?” he roared.

“I came back to see how your business is doing,” Jiang Xun said.

“The first sentence.” Chengye felt uncomfortable. “Did you just say that you beat Xiaoze up?”

“Yes. It’s his fault for looking for trouble. If he’s going to do that, it’s only natural that he’d be beaten up.” Jiang Xun pointed her nose at Chengye.

Chengye’s temples throbbed with a rapidly growing migraine.

“Can’t you stop?” At this point, he felt so numb that he couldn’t even blow up at Jiang Xun.

Hearing this exchange, Nianzhen couldn’t sit still anymore. “How can you hit Xiaoze?! He’s Yuexi’s boyfriend! In the future, the Gu and Jiang families will be united by marriage, and they will be as strong as each other!”

Nianzhen wanted to tear Jiang Xun apart at this moment. “Didn’t you just ruin the relationship between our two families by hitting Xiaoze?”

“That would just mean that he and Yuexi are not in love! I’m the one who beat him up, not Yuexi. If the Gu Family is angry at Yuexi because of this, then you should get a different son-in-law as soon as possible,” Jiang Xun said dismissively as she shook her head.

Nianzhen was so shocked that she couldn’t speak.

Jiang Xun still had the face to try persuading her?

“But… But you can’t beat him up!” Nianzhen found her voice again. “Besides, how could you tell everyone about Yuexi and Xiaoze? Can’t you just sit back and watch your sister participate in a show to attract some fans? Her career has just started, and you ruined it!”

“I was going to tell you this too,” Chengye said with a dark face. “Putting aside the Gu Family, even if you know about Yuexi and Xiaoze, you don’t have to tell the whole world about them!”

“If I don’t say it out loud, I’ll just wait for them to slip up in the future and let the Jiang Family sink together with the Gu Family,” Jiang Xun sneered. “Which genius came up with that idea, by the way? There are so many kinds of variety shows, but why do you have to participate in a romantic one of all things?”

“Did you really have to drag Xiaoze along with you? You can even spend money to let Yuexi enter a variety show, so why didn’t you just pick some other show and let her play there?” Jiang Xun rolled her eyes. “Why did you drag Xiaoze down with you? Did you want to sink his family, or?”

Chengye opened his mouth to scold her, but he suddenly stopped.

What Jiang Xun said…was not unreasonable. There were so many variety shows, why did they have to choose a romantic one?

Chengye looked at Yuexi. He remembered that she was the one who’d suggested entering the romantic kind of variety show to have a couple bonus with Xiaoze, but in the end, none of that happened and she ended up receiving backlash instead..

He did not say anything.

[ Merit Points + 1]

Jiang Xun curled her lips up in dissatisfaction. To think that she had come back specifically for Merit Point farming purposes, but only ended up only getting one MP.

How disappointing!

It was then that Aunt Zhang called for everyone to eat, having finished setting up the dining table.

Jiang Xun went over and sat down on her seat.

Aunt Zhang thought that she was careless; she hadn’t thought that Jiang Xun would come back tonight, so she did not prepare enough dishes for her.

While Jiang Xun was still eating, Aunt Zhang quickly made more steamed rice and dishes.

In the meantime, Jiang Xun didn’t have any intention of chatting with the others and just focused on eating.

After finishing her meal, Jiang Xun stood up. “I’m leaving.”

“You’re already back. Why are you still going out?” Chengye said with a cold face.

Jiang Xun asked in surprise, “What, did you want me to come back and live here?”

Chengye pursed his lips and stayed silent for a long time before saying in a rough voice, “You’ve been angry for so long, that’s enough! You’ve experienced how hard it is to live alone outside.”

“No, I think it’s quite easy.” Jiang Xun raised his chin and said arrogantly, “It’s also quite easy to earn money.”

Chengye could only remain silent.

What sin did he commit in his previous life to get himself such an unfilial daughter?! He had already given in, so why couldn’t she also give in?

“I’m leaving,” Jiang Xun said as she walked out. “Someone was so desperately hoping for me to leave all this while, after all. Now that I’m back, she won’t be able to sleep well.”

As Jiang Xun spoke, she looked at Nianzhen openly. The person in question knew who she was talking about.

“Jiang Xun! Since when did I wait for you to leave? I hope for you to live well at home more than anyone else,” Nianzhen said aggrievedly. “Even if I don’t want outsiders to think that I’m mistreating my stepdaughter, I still hope that you can live at home. I’m hurt that you’d say that about me” !

She turned to Chengye and said, “Chengye, think about it. After Jiang Xun came back, did I say anything bad about her?”
