Chapter 1220 - Weakness and Armor

For example, the eldest brother of the Jiang family had returned from the illegal district.

Also, before he asked Qiao Nian out for dinner today, he had contacted Jiang Yao and asked him to come out with him. In the end, Jiang Yao didn’t answer his calls or reply to his messages the entire night.

Besides that, he was distracted the entire night and kept contacting Jiang Yao. In the end, he still couldn’t contact Jiang Yao even after Old Master Su went upstairs to rest.

Jiang Li lowered his head. He couldn’t raise his head in front of Qiao Nian. He covered his head with his hand and said with disgust, “I don’t know what’s wrong with Big Brother. He wasn’t like this in the past! Jiang Xianrou might have said something to him. He…”

Jiang Li was so annoyed that he couldn’t continue.

What the f*ck was going on!

Were he and Dad the only normal people in the family?

It was one thing for Jiang Xianrou to be muddle-headed, but her mother also caused a ruckus at home.

It was not easy for his big brother to come back. Big Brother also followed Jiang Xianrou and the others to ostracize Nian Nian. Their brains were caught in the crack of the door!

The family just had to fight like enemies.

Would they only stop when everyone had turned against each other?

Jiang Li felt wronged and depressed, but he couldn’t find an outlet.

What could he say?

Tang Wanru was his biological mother.

Jiang Xianrou was his biological sister!

Jiang Yao was his biological brother!

He couldn’t possibly scold them, right?

Forget about Jiang Xianrou. She was younger than him. It was fine if he scolded her.

But his own mother and his elder brother were treating Qiao Nian the same way. He was sandwiched in the middle.

“He’s different from Jiang Xianrou.”

Jiang Li racked his brains for a long time before finding such an adjective. “He must have been deceived by her. When he understands you, he will know that you’re not the kind of person they say you are…”

Qiao Nian quietly listened to him explain the entire situation with an understanding expression.

She knew it. Jiang Li had called her excitedly and said that he would bring a friend over tonight. In the end, he came alone and then buried his head in his phone unhappily. So that was what happened.

Qiao Nian was already used to such things. She placed her hand on the chair and said calmly, “It’s fine if they don’t understand. Let’s leave it at that.”

Jiang Li suddenly looked up. He wanted to say something but hesitated. He didn’t know if Qiao Nian understood the hidden meaning in his words.

He pursed his lips and thought of the terrible things at home. He only said, “Nian Nian, no matter what happens, I’ll always be on your side! You just have to remember that no matter what, Grandpa, Uncle, and I are on your side!”

Jiang Li took another deep breath and his eyes gradually became firm. “Don’t worry too much about Jiang Yao. I’ll talk to him when we get back. Forget it if he doesn’t want to listen. It’s his loss that he doesn’t want to know you, not yours!

“As for Jiang Xianrou…”

Mentioning his sister, a thousand words surged into his heart and disappeared, and he said in disgust, “Don’t bother with her in the future.”

Initially, Qiao Nian had not taken Jiang Yao’s arrival to heart. To put it bluntly, putting aside their blood ties, he was just a stranger to her.

Jiang Yao chose to stand on Jiang Xianrou’s side and rejected her. Logically speaking, it made sense.

She did not care what he thought.

However, Qiao Nian’s heart still skipped a beat when she heard what Jiang Li said. Her chest seemed to be filled with warmth.

It wasn’t so uncaring and cold anymore.

This feeling was the same as what she got from the little bun and Ye Wangchuan. It always made her feel that in the future, she had one more weakness and one more armor!
