Chapter 626: Chapter 629: The One She Loves Is Herself
Jiang Yi accepted Jiang Zhan’s apology.
But it was far from enough.
"Jiang Zhan, stop trying to change the subject. Where did you go just now?"
Jiang Zhan’s eyes flickered to the side, avoiding Jiang Yi’s gaze, "Where I go is my business, why do I have to tell you?"
Just by looking at Jiang Zhan, Jiang Yi knew he was definitely hiding something.
The more unwilling Jiang Zhan was to say, the more determined Jiang Yi was to get to the bottom of it.
"No! I’m your sister. You should tell me everything, not hide things from me."
Jiang Zhan, initially not particularly firm, suddenly became very stubborn after hearing this.
"Just because you’re my sister, I have to tell you everything? Do you even act like a sister?"
After saying that, Jiang Zhan said to Jiang Zhi, "Grandpa, I’m going to bed now."
Jiang Zhi nodded, "Go ahead!"
Although Jiang Yi still wanted to stop him, since Jiang Zhan agreed, there was nothing she could do if she didn’t agree.
Jiang Yi watched Jiang Zhan leave, her eyes red with anger.
Feeling both indignant and somewhat wronged, Jiang Yi looked towards Jiang Zhi, "Grandpa, why won’t you let me ask clearly? I’m only concerned about him."
Jiang Zhi gave Jiang Yi a faint look, "Concern isn’t just about this. You can care for him in other ways too."
After speaking, Jiang Zhi also stood up.
"If there are matters like this in the future, don’t bring them to me."
It’s late at night, shouldn’t everyone go rest instead of sitting here?
Jiang Zhi was somewhat unhappy and did not hide his displeasure. Seeing this, Jiang Yi pouted, full of unwillingness.
"Mom, Dad, what’s going on with Grandpa? Why does he always side with Jiang Zhan?"
Jiang Zhongguo had old-fashioned views, naturally believing that sons are the most important.
Compared to a son, a daughter is of course not as important.
So after hearing Jiang Yi’s words, he said matter of factly, "Jiang Zhan is the only male in the family; of course your grandpa would favor him. What are you dissatisfied with?"
Hearing Jiang Zhongguo’s words, Jiang Yi felt suffocated.
She was just blinded by anger, that’s why she asked Jiang Zhongguo that question.
After all these years, how could she not have understood this point?
In Jiang Zhongguo’s eyes, there was only Jiang Zhan, his son.
Although he never explicitly said it, the meaning was very clear.
In the future, everything in his hands would be passed on to Jiang Zhan.
As for her, the daughter, she would eventually marry out and become part of another family, so naturally, she could not involve herself in the Jiang Family’s business.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yi’s eyes turned red with anger.
But there were no tears in her eyes.
After so many years, Jiang Yi deeply understood one thing: crying was useless.
If it’s useless, then why shed tears?
Jiang Yi bit her lower lip and looked at Chen Meirong.
Chen Meirong was somewhat different from Jiang Zhongguo.
Jiang Zhongguo favored sons over daughters.
But Chen Meirong only cared about the children who could bring her benefits.
For example, when Jiang Ran was young and particularly good-looking.
Or now, when Jiang Yi could protect her.
And Jiang Zhan, the only male in the family who could secure her position.
Chen Meirong never really loved any particular child.
She only loved herself.
