The orphanage where the original owner lived is located in a small county town in Minjiang City, about 300 kilometers away from the urban area. It takes more than three hours to drive there.
After the car entered the urban area of Minjiang, it drove all the way to the villa area in the western suburbs.
Assistant Bai looked through the rearview mirror to observe the newly-recovered Miss Jiang family, only to find that she was not at all cramped.
It was as if the luxurious environment around the villa area had nothing to do with her.
A child who grew up in an orphanage shouldn't behave like this, so she either really didn't care or she was too good at pretending.
Assistant Bai was secretly surprised, and soon made up his mind that he would never take the initiative to provoke this Miss Jiang in the future.
Don't look at President Jiang being lukewarm to her now, but with that blood relationship, who can tell what will happen in the future.
It's a pity that he has offended Miss Jiang Li once before, and even if he behaves deliberately in the future, it may not leave a good impression on her.
How did Jiang Hao know that Assistant Bai had made up so much in her brain. In reality, although she was not born in a wealthy family, she had never been short of money, and naturally she could not be attracted by the villa area in front of her.
However, a man and a woman standing on the lawn in front of the Jiang family villa managed to attract her attention.
The girls look about the same age as themselves and are very beautiful, while the boys look a little more mature and look a lot like the juvenile version of JAC.
The boy was listening to the woman's voice with his head down, and the gentle doting on his face seemed to overflow.
Jiang Hao guessed that this should be the fake daughter Jiang Ruo and her sister-in-law, Jiang Zhou, in the book.
Following Jiang Hao's line of sight, Feng Yun's eyes immediately became gentle, but she quickly realized and realized that she hadn't told Xiao Hao about Ruoluo.
Originally, she planned to say it on the way back to Minjiang, but because of the unpleasantness between Xiaoli and her husband, she forgot about it.
Feng Yun was about to explain, when Jiang Ruo noticed the situation here.
Her eyes were sparkling, ignoring her brother's instructions to "run slowly", she ran over and slammed into Feng Yun's arms, and said coquettishly, "Mom, have you finally brought my sister back?"
Feng Yun smiled and stroked her head, "Well, I've brought it back. You sisters can go to school together in the future, so that you can have a company."
Then she turned her gaze to Jiang Hao and said with a smile, "Little Hao, this is Ruoluo. You two sisters were wrongly held before, so your father and I always thought she was our biological daughter."
Without waiting for Jiang Hao to speak, Jiang Ruo immediately greeted with a friendly attitude: "Hello, sister."
Hearing the word "sister", Jiang Hao immediately remembered the plot in the novel.
After the original owner returned home, Jiang Ruo did call her sister all the time.
Later, whenever there was a conflict between the two, Jiang Zhou morally kidnapped the original owner, saying that the younger sister was not in good health, and the original owner should let her as her elder sister, not to argue with her for everything.
Jiang Hao had no plans to serve the little princess, and said bluntly: "We are the same age, and our birth dates should be about the same. You can just call me by my name."
Seeing Jiang Hao's indifferent attitude, Jiang Ruo was a little helpless, and looked up at Jiang Zhou as if asking for help.
Jiang Zhou immediately frowned and looked at Jiang Hao, "It's just a title, is it necessary to care so much?"
Jiang Hao looked up and looked at him, "It's just a title, there's really no need to worry about it."
Then she turned her gaze to Jiang Ruo, "You shouldn't care about it, right?"
Jiang Ruo: …
Jiang Zhou didn't expect that his sister's emotional intelligence was so low, and he lost his good face immediately.
He turned his head and rubbed Jiang Ruo's head, comforting: "Since she doesn't appreciate it, you don't need to be too polite to her in the future, just call her by her name."
Jiang Ruo pursed his lips and said nothing.
It was unpleasant for the son and daughter to meet for the first time, which made Feng Yun a little embarrassed.
She looked at Jiang Huai with a look of help, but found that her husband seemed to have nothing to do with her, obviously not ready to take care of it.
After hesitating for a moment, she frowned and looked at her son, "Little Li is also your sister, how do you talk?"
Jiang Zhou shrugged, "She didn't even call her brother, how do you think I should talk to her?"
Feng Yun was stunned for a few seconds, as if she suddenly realized something, she looked at Jiang Li with hurt eyes, "Little Li, are you blaming Mom and Dad for not finding you earlier?"
Jiang Hao shook her head, "I don't think so."
"Then why..." Feng Yun hesitated.
The child in front of him is obviously his own daughter, but why does it always give people a feeling of being rejected thousands of miles away?
Is it your own delusion?
Jiang Hao could roughly guess what Feng Yun was thinking. Thinking of the plot in the book, she suddenly laughed and asked, "You mean, I didn't call your parents, nor did I call him brother?"
Feng Yun: …
She really thought so, but she never thought that her daughter would ask such a straightforward question.
"Because I'm not sure yet, will you recognize me?" Jiang Hao's voice was cold.
"Of course we want to recognize you! If we don't recognize you, how can we come all the way to find you? Little Li, you say that, it hurts the hearts of parents too much."
Feng Yun looked like she was about to cry, as if she had been wronged by Tianda.
Jiang Hao didn't give her a chance to sell miserably at all. "But everyone knows that Jiang Ruo is the daughter of the Jiang family. Are you going to announce to the public that we were wronged when we were young?"
Hearing this, Feng Yun suddenly lost his momentum.
They had already discussed this issue before they went to pick up Xiaoli, and finally unanimously decided not to announce Xiaoli's identity for the time being, otherwise Ruoluo's situation would become very embarrassing.
As for Xiao Li, she declared to the public that she was the adopted daughter of the Jiang family. Anyway, the family knew her true identity and would treat the two children fairly.
When Jiang Zhou proposed this plan before, Jiang Huai agreed without much thought. Although Feng Yun hesitated, she also acquiesced to her husband and son's decision.
But at this time, when she heard her own daughter's questioning, she always felt a little wrong.
Jiang Zhou frowned and looked at Jiang Hao, "You care so much about the identity of the daughter of the Jiang family?"
Jiang Hao shook her head, "I don't care."
Jiang Zhou sneered, "If you really don't care, as for forcing us to reveal your identity as soon as you come back?"
Although Jiang Huai has been silent, he agrees with his son's words and feels that Jiang Hao's eyelids are too shallow.
Jiang Hao and Jiang Zhou looked at each other, wondering, "Didn't you force me to call someone first?"
Jiangzhou: …
"You and I are related by blood, so it stands to reason that you should change your mouth, but if you don't plan to admit that I am your relative, it should be normal for me not to change your mouth?"
Jiang Ruo looked at Jiang Zhou at a loss, and whispered, "Brother, or else..."
Jiang Zhou patted her on the shoulder lightly and reassured: "You don't have to worry about these little things."
Jiang Huai finally stopped pretending to be dead at this time, and he looked at Jiang Li with condescending eyes. "In the fifteen years you've been outside, Ruoluo has always been by our side. Everyone knows that she is the daughter of the Jiang family. If you suddenly reveal your identity, Ruoluo will definitely be pointed at by others.
But you are different. People in the circle do not know you. As long as you say that you are our adopted daughter, everyone will treat you politely. You should be able to understand, right? "
Jiang Hao was noncommittal, and asked, "Can you change your words?"
Jiang Huai frowned, "What's the rhetoric?"
He had already seen that the little girl in front of him was not a fuel-efficient lamp at all, and he just hoped that she would not make any fanciful requests.
"Since you don't plan to reveal my identity, then tell me that I'm a distant relative of the Jiang family, and I'll just use it temporarily in the Jiang family." Jiang Hao's tone was casual.
Feng Yun was about to refute, but Jiang Huai said, "Yes."
In his opinion, Jiang Hao pretended to be indifferent to the world, but she was using retreat as her advance, forcing her family to reveal her identity as the daughter of the Jiang family.
He was not as she wished.
What surprised Jiang Huai was that this girl's plan had clearly failed, and she didn't cry or make trouble, but she was able to pretend.
That night, Feng Yun and Jianghuai had a night talk.
"Little Lei would rather let us say that she is a distant relative of the Jiang family than let us say that she is the adopted daughter of the Jiang family. Are you blaming us?"
Jiang Huai said nonchalantly: "She is young and can't understand the thoughts of adults, so she just needs to be angry with us. It will be fine in a few days."
Feng Yun frowned slightly, "But I always feel that the reason she said that was because she didn't want to change her name to call us Mom and Dad."
Jiang Huai snorted coldly, "It's just a child's temper. The more you back down, the more she'll get ahead. Could it be that we still let her temper and announce the identities of her and Ruoluo?"
Feng Yun hesitated for a while, then whispered, "She grew up in an orphanage, and no one taught her, so she will inevitably be willful, otherwise..."
"Impossible!" Jiang Huai interrupted her, "You brought up Ruoluo. We have raised her for more than ten years, so there is no need to say about the relationship, and Ruoluo and Qin Zheng have a marriage contract. Knowing that Ruoluo is not our own, I'm afraid it will not end well."
Feng Yun's eyes were a little confused, "Isn't it because Ruoluo and Qin Zheng liked each other when they made a verbal engagement with the Qin family?"
Jiang Huai smiled sarcastically, "It's true that Qin Zheng likes ruoluo, but you think those people in the Qin family are doing charity? I have my own plans for this matter, don't worry about it."
Hearing what he said, Feng Yun sighed and stopped insisting.
The next morning, the couple got up to eat, only to find that the three children were already sitting at the dining table.
Feng Yun subconsciously skipped Jiangzhou and Jiang Ruo, and her eyes fell on her biological daughter Jiang Hao.
At this time, Jiang Hao was wearing a large black T-shirt, her long hair was tied into a ponytail with a silk scarf, and her originally heavy bangs were arranged and fixed with black clips.
Probably because of having bangs for a long time, the skin tone on her forehead is whiter than the rest of her face, which looks a little out of tune, but it should be easy to cover it up with light makeup.
Feng Yun stared at her for a long time, and couldn't help but think: her own daughter has a good appearance, even if she doesn't wear Fendai, she doesn't look any worse than Ruo Ruo.
The most important thing is that when the little girl sits at the dining table and eats Western food, although her movements are not very standard, she looks very natural. Such a temperament is not something that can be cultivated in an orphanage.
Feng Yun wanted to be close to her daughter, so she took the initiative to sit next to her and said softly, "There are so many new clothes in the cloakroom, why don't you wear them?"
Jiang Hao finally looked away from the dinner plate, and said in a calm voice, "There are many clothes in the cloakroom, but the sizes are all too small, and none of them fit me."
Hearing Jiang Hao's words, Feng Yun was obviously stunned.
She had asked the housekeeper to prepare clothes for Xiaoluo before, but when Ruoluo heard it, she took the initiative to say that she would wrap it on her body, but she didn't expect the clothes to be the wrong size.
But this can't blame Ruoluo, because she doesn't know the size of the little lily at all.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Li, the clothes that my uncle the housekeeper prepared for you before were all recommended by me, but I didn't expect you to be so tall, otherwise I would have made a mistake."
Jiang Zhou couldn't see his sister being wronged, he squinted at Jiang Li, "The clothes are not suitable, just let someone change them, you don't need to feel that everyone owes you the same."
Jiang Li gently put down the knife and fork in her hand, frowned and asked, "What should I do so that you won't think that I think everyone owes me?"
Before waiting for Jiang Zhou to answer, she asked again, "Do you have to make me wear those inappropriate clothes so that you won't make trouble unreasonably?"
According to the content of the novel, the original owner was dazzled by the clothes in the cloakroom on the first day he arrived at Jiang's house.
She put on the brand clothes that the hostess carefully selected for her, but she couldn't hold it up at all. It seemed that the word "uncomfortable" was written all over her body.
Even the servants couldn't help discussing in private, saying that the original owner not only looked inferior to Miss Ruoluo, but also had a temperament that was N streets worse than that of Miss Ruoluo, and she didn't look like the Jiang family at all.
But those people didn't think that the clothes in the cloakroom were prepared according to Jiang Ruo's size. Although the original owner was slender, he was half a head taller than Jiang Ruo. It would be strange if those clothes fit on her body.
However, from the beginning to the end, the novel only emphasized that the original owner was inferior to Jiang Ruo in every way. As for these details, it did not explain clearly at all.
Jiang Hao was not the original owner, so she would not force herself to wear inappropriate clothes. Facing Jiang Zhou's deliberately provocative behavior, she was even less likely to bear it.
Looking at Jiang Hao's calm and indifferent eyes, Jiang Zhou couldn't find anything to refute for a while.
At this moment, he suddenly regretted that he didn't stop his parents to pick up Jiang Hao back.
The tension between the son and daughter made Feng Yun a little helpless. She tried to ignore the low pressure around her son and turned to look at Jiang Li.
"I'll have someone prepare the clothes for you again. Your brother just speaks rudely. In fact, he treats you very well. He has been looking forward to your return, and even went through the transfer procedures for you in person."
Jiang Hao shifted his gaze to look at Feng Yun, "He didn't ask for my opinion before going through the transfer procedures for me."
Feng Yun immediately explained: "Your previous school was just an ordinary junior high school in the county town, and Minjiang Foreign Language is the best private high school in the province..."
Jiang Hao interrupted her, "Then have you ever thought that I'll be taking the senior high school entrance exam in two months, and I'll feel uncomfortable changing schools suddenly?"
In the true and false Qianjin essay, the heroine Jiang Ruo's high school entrance examination scores exceeded the high-level line by more than 90 points, and she was admitted to the elite class of Minjiang No.
The original protagonist, as the female protagonist's control group, did not even go to the high school, and could not go to the high school in the main city at all, and could only choose from the few schools in the suburbs.
In the name of being good for her, Jiang's family put her student status in a school in the suburbs, and then found a relationship to make her a loan student in the elite class of No. 1 Middle School, hoping that she could improve her grades sooner.
But when she went there, the original owner found that she couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the teachers at all, and she was completely reduced to the bottom professional in the class.
Those people in the class knew that she was the "Jiang family's adopted daughter", so they couldn't help discussing in private, saying that she and Jiang Ruo were so different, and the Jiang family didn't know what they thought, but they would adopt her.
Under the malicious speculation of some people, the rumors that she is JAC's illegitimate daughter also intensified.
Unconsciously, the original owner completely isolated himself and no longer communicated with anyone in the class.
Three years of high school life turned the original owner from being introverted and sensitive at the beginning to lifeless, causing many people to be reluctant to approach her.
But Jiang Hao has the memory of the original owner. She knows that although the original owner is not a talented party, she has always been diligent and eager to learn. She used to be in the county middle school, and she could get a scholarship after every big exam.
With her strength, if she can perform normally, it is definitely more than enough to take the exam.
After returning to the Jiang family, her life has undergone earth-shaking changes, but the Jiang family is unaware that it is because of their self-assertion that the original owner's performance is abnormal.
They also felt that the family had provided the original owner with such good conditions, but she was neither smart nor motivated, and she was no match for Jiang Ruo.
At this time, when he heard Jiang Hao's questioning, Jiang Zhou didn't think there was any problem with the Jiang family's actions, and he smiled meaningfully and asked, "You haven't even gone to school yet, so you've already decided to retreat, yes. Don't you plan to put the blame on me when you fail the high school entrance exam?"
Jiang Hao looked calm, "I'm just refuting what Ms. Feng said just now, because I don't think it's good for me that you handle the transfer procedures for me."
Hearing Jiang Hao's words, the whole room was dumbfounded.
They never thought that Jiang Hao would call his biological mother "Ms. Feng".
