Chapter 207: Never Properly Looked at His Stepsister Before
Of course, Jiang Chenglang was angry.
Ni Manman had so easily called Jiang Yu names. It was obvious that she had said a lot of other things.
Since she was Jiang Wan’s good friend, why didn’t Jiang Wan stop her?
If she allowed her friend to slander Jiang Yu, didn’t that mean that she too agreed with Ni Manman?
Jiang Wan was frustrated. A good game of chess had been ruined by Ni Manman, just like that.
What bad luck!
On the surface, she looked gentle and weak, “Big Brother, I’m sorry. Manman didn’t mean it. It’s just that in school, Manman was taught a lesson by Big Sister. She has her own grievances with Big Sister. Moreover, she’s a straightforward person. She’s quick to speak her mind, that’s why she said such things…”
However, Jiang Chenglang’s expression did not improve at all.
“There’s no need to say anymore. I already know about the matter of you guys betting on your grades in school. If you’re willing to bet, you must be willing to admit defeat as well. Xiao Yu is not at fault.”
Ni Manman cursed in her heart. Can Jiang Yu ever be at fault?
How was that incident not her fault?
Why did Jiang Wan’s big brother always side with Jiang Yu?!
Ni Manman was an arrogant person. She was furious and did not want to take into account that Jiang Chenglang had just threatened her. Just as she was about to retort, a hand grabbed and pinched the back of her hand.
Jiang Wan was sick and didn’t have much strength in her. However, her nails were very long and it cause Ni Manman to cry out in pain.
From Jiang Chenglang’s position, Jiang Wan’s actions had clearly been visible.
Jiang Wan’s first thought, Jiang Chenglang knew about the bet!
He actually knew about such a shameful thing!
Did Jiang Yu tell him?
Or did he go to the school to investigate?
He has never asked her about what happens in the school before. That was why she dared to act as if nothing had happened. She knew that with Kong Tang’s personality, he wouldn’t gossip.
A few thoughts flashed through Jiang Wan’s mind. She coughed a few times and replied, “Yes, Big Sister wasn’t at fault. I just thought that Big Sister would take into account that we’re a family and that she wouldn’t make such a big deal out of a small bet. I didn’t expect…”
“You didn’t expect Xiao Yu to be so persistent, did you?”
Jiang Chenglang’s expression was dark, his eyes were as cold as ice.
He felt like he has just fallen into the icy water. He felt like he has never properly looked at his stepsister before.
Had she changed? Or perhaps, she had always been like this.
He said each word clearly, “You were present when they made this bet. Why didn’t you consider that you guys were family then?”
At that time, Xiao Yu’s results hadn’t been great. If Xiao Yu hadn’t gotten first place in the grade, would Jiang Wan and Ni Manman have canceled the bet because she was a member of the Jiang Family?
Jiang Chenglang expected that they probably wouldn’t.
Since they couldn’t do it, why did they want to make someone else do it?
Rong Qi had only reported the basics of what had happened. Only the people involved would know more about that day.
Judging from Ni Manman’s attitude towards Jiang Yu, it was obvious that she was even ruder to Jiang Yu’s face.
Why did a child of the Jiang family have to suffer such treatment?
“There were some things that I didn’t want to bring up but since you’ve come to this point, why don’t I myself clear?”
Jiang Chenglang’s gaze was strange and filled with anger, “I didn’t know about this bet when you had first made it. When I found out later, I wanted to talk to you in private. Since you’ve brought it up yourself, I’d like to know, you keep calling Xiao Yu ‘Big Sister’ but have you ever really acknowledged her as your Big Sister?”
