Chapter 284 The ex-wife of a disabled boss becomes cannon fodder (22)
Several classmates looked at each other and didn't dare to speak at all. Jiang Ruantian was trembling with Jiang Lai's merciless sarcasm. She squeezed the bag in her hand and forced a smile.
"You are still so outspoken, sister, I have been back for so long, haven't you accepted me yet?"
Jiang Lai shrugged and said indifferently.
"Cats and dogs don't matter to me, as long as you don't say bad things about me behind my back."
After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Jiang Ruantian standing at the door with her teeth clenched in shame and anger.
Jiang Lai really didn't care about the face of the wealthy family at all, and she said such disgusting words in front of outsiders. She must be looking down on herself from the bottom of her heart!
The classmates behind him knew what was going on and stopped talking. Jiang Ruantian looked very sad but still maintained her last dignity and asked the servants to greet the guests while she went upstairs to change clothes.
Jiang's mother opened the door and came in, giving her the crown worn by the princess.
The mother and daughter sat down and had a good chat for a while. Jiang Ruantian was obedient and well-behaved, which was completely different from the indulgence of Jiang Lai and Jiang Han. It really made Jiang's mother feel distressed for a long time.
"This crown is so beautiful, it must cost a lot of money, right?"
In the mirror, Jiang Ruantian felt that she was a real princess for the first time. Looking at Jiang's mother behind her, who was so noble and still beautiful, she couldn't help but think of the mother she had been for more than ten years.
She always wore a bloated and ill-fitting school uniform, pushing a tricycle at the mobile vegetable stalls in the county and shouting everywhere. Unlike Jiang's mother's fair and soft hands, her adoptive mother's hands were rough, ugly, and had thick joints, and that face , always full of expressions that have been numbed and aged by the pain of life.
Jiang Ruantian also felt sorry for her, but she deliberately avoided the vegetable market when she went shopping with her friends.
In the past, her parents had always been a pain that she had hidden in her heart and was unwilling to show. Every time she held a parent-teacher meeting, the way she looked for various excuses in a helpless and weak manner still made Jiang Ruantian almost cry in pain when she thought about it.
Why do other people's parents have neat clothes and extraordinary temperament, but her parents can't even speak Mandarin well? Even if she is in the top ten of the three best students every year, the honor she has earned through hard study will instantly collapse as soon as her parents appear. collapse.
In sharp contrast, the beautiful and wealthy mother behind her was indeed the image she had imagined over and over again when she was a child, even more perfect and outstanding.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ruantian's eyes turned red, looking at herself in the mirror, she told herself over and over in her heart.
Everything is over, and she will have the most beautiful things in the world for the rest of her life. She is no longer mud in the dust, but a shining star in the sky.
Jiang's mother noticed Jiang Ruantian's strangeness and asked softly.
"What's wrong? Why are you still crying?"
"Mom, I really miss you. I have been thinking about you all the time since I was a child."
Although this sentence sounds a bit strange, the emotional mother Jiang can no longer think of so much, and her eyes are red with emotion as she hugs her daughter's shoulders.
While the mother and daughter were crying, Jiang Lai, who was standing outside the door, knocked on the unlocked door.
"Hurry up, there are so many people waiting."
Jiang's mother wiped her tears and was about to call Jiang Lai to come over and reminisce about the past, but Jiang Lai turned his face and left without hesitation.
Jiang Ruantian looked at Jiang's mother carefully and asked in a low voice.
"Mom, is it really difficult for my sister to accept me?"
Jiang's mother denied it repeatedly.
"Of course not. Your sister has a temper like her father's. She has a slumped face all the time and treats everyone like that. Don't think too much that she also likes you behind your back. She even prepared a birthday gift for you."
As she spoke, Jiang's mother took out the gift she had prepared in advance and handed it to Jiang Ruantian.
Jiang Ruantian looked at the expensive pair of high heels in front of her, raised her head and asked.
"My sister gave this to me?"
"Yes, you can wear these shoes today to find someone to dance with. Your father has invited many friends from aristocratic families, many of whom are about the same age as you. When the time comes, you will be restrained and just have fun."
Jiang Ruantian sneered in his heart.
How could Jiang Lai buy himself a gift based on his temper? Jiang's mother must have bought these shoes to show face for her own daughter. She understands Jiang Lai's temper better than anyone else. It's okay if she doesn't educate her well. Now even She also wanted to help Jiang Lai hide her true temper.
Thinking of this, the feeling of admiration that had surged up just now had almost dissipated.
The huge Jiang family had no human touch at all, and Jiang Ruantian reminded herself soberly not to be deceived again.
Finally, under the spotlight, Jiang Ruantian, wearing a long white dress, slowly walked down the luxurious spiral staircase. Under the gaze of everyone, Jiang Ruantian nervously grabbed the handrail of the stairs and swept down casually. , unexpectedly saw a familiar figure in the crowd. Although he was still sitting there quietly, he still caught her attention immediately.
It's Mo Zhoujing, he's here too, and he's looking at him now.
Yes, the protagonist now is herself, and the one who attracts all the attention is herself. She is wearing an expensive dress and a sky-high crown. No one is more dazzling than her wherever she looks. Even if she is facing Mo Zhoujing, she has nothing to feel inferior to. .
At the very least, she is sound.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ruantian's footsteps became more relaxed. When she walked to the middle of the banquet hall, Jiang's father solemnly introduced her identity in front of all the guests and friends. It was considered that Jiang Ruantian's identity was directly disclosed through this birthday party.
At this time, Zhao Sili, the nominal fiancé of the youngest daughter of the Jiang family, slowly stepped forward and extended his hand to invite Jiang Ruantian to dance the first dance with her.
As the two danced in the middle of the dance floor, Jiang Lai, who was standing aside, was bored. He was just about to have another drink before running away, when suddenly a hand gently placed on his shoulder from behind.
Looking back, it was Tao Xinzhu.
Although their family is in decline, Tao's father and Jiang's father have been friends for many years. Of course, they were invited to Jiang Ruantian's birthday this time.
However, most of the people present were still snobby, and almost no one came to talk to Tao Xinzhu. It was a bit awkward to stand alone, so Tao Xinzhu took the initiative to come over and say hello to Jiang Lai.
"I didn't expect she was your sister."
"I didn't expect that either."
"Dance together?"
Jiang Lai looked at him, smiled and put his hands on his shoulders. He slowly leaned closer and whispered in his ear.
"Remember how to dance?"
The mockery in his tone made Tao Xinzhu feel a strange feeling in his heart. He should be disgusted, but when his hands touched the slender waist in front of him, his mind was a little confused.
"Do you still remember when we were dancing together when we were kids? At that time you would still call me Brother Hsinchu." (End of Chapter)
