Chapter 48: A slap in the face, a shameless family
in the living room

Chu Jingyan sneered and crossed his feet. "As far as I know, Mr. Jiang only has one daughter. When did he have another daughter this old?"

"Besides, Doctor Meng's last name is Meng, and CEO Jiang's last name is Jiang. How can someone who is totally unrelated to them be CEO Jiang's daughter?"

"Mr. Jiang, please don't try to make random connections."

"That's because I kicked this rebellious girl out of the Jiang family five years ago." Jiang Minglang's face turned purple as he began to explain.

"Besides, Doctor Meng came here to change the medicine for me. President Jiang wanted to attack me just because we had a disagreement. Does he think I'm dead?" Chu Jingyan ignored his explanation, his voice was cold and his eyes were sharp.

Seeing Chu Jingyan's gloomy face, Jiang Zhilan said softly, "Mr. Chu, no, Dad doesn't mean that."

Chu Jingyan glanced at Jiang Zhilan sharply and said nonchalantly, "I only know that the one standing next to Mr. Jiang is your daughter. I don't know the rest."

"What I just said was that your daughter apologized. Mr. Jiang didn't forget it, right?"

"But I'm not talking about Lan Lan, it's..."

Before he could finish his words, he was choked back by Chu Jingyan's cold eyes.

"If you don't sincerely want to apologize, please go back!" Chu Jingyan pointed at the door and asked them to leave.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhilan glanced around, quietly let go of Gu Huainian's arm, and said aggrievedly, "If Mr. Chu can forgive us, I am willing to apologize on behalf of my sister."

After saying that, she was about to bend down, but Gu Huainian grabbed her.

"Jiang Zhiwan, you made a mistake and refused to admit it. You even wanted Lanlan to take the blame for you. You are still the same as you were five years ago, and you don't repent!"

"If you know what's best for you, come out and apologize to your uncle instead of hiding behind and pretending to be dead."

"After all, we all know who the unfilial daughter Uncle Jiang is talking about!" Gu Huainian looked at Meng Qingyi coldly, not hiding his disgust.

Meng Qingyi looked at the farce in front of her, her eyes were cold and sharp, and it was chilling. "Who gave you the face to throw dirty water on me again and again?"

The mockery in her eyes was about to overflow, and she said sarcastically, "I wasn't the one who hit anyone, why should I apologize?"

"Why, I am the Leshan Giant Buddha, and it is my responsibility to save all living beings?"

"Besides, the teapot was meant to hit me, and you expect me to apologize on your behalf?"

"I'm not a big shot. I don't have such a big heart."

"Jiang Zhiwan, even if you didn't smash it, do you have no responsibility?" Gu Huainian glared at her.

Meng Qingyi sneered, "If I had a quarrel with someone that day and that person killed someone because he was in a bad mood, would I also go to jail?"

"According to what you said, isn't the person who asked me to go back again and again also responsible?"

"If you hadn't shown up, you wouldn't have been hit, are you also responsible?" Meng Qingyi's face darkened, her eyes full of coldness.

Gu Huainian was angered by Meng Qingyi's twisted logic and said angrily, "You are simply making trouble and being unreasonable."

"Why, you are the only one who can throw all the responsibility on me and not allow me to defend myself? Do you think you are gangsters? You are so overbearing."

Chu Jingyan glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, with a smile that he couldn't suppress. He had never seen her being rude to anyone. She usually looked gentle and cold, but when she was rude to someone, she was so dazzling.

It seemed that he would never be bullied in the future. He suddenly relaxed, crossed his legs calmly, and tapped his knees lightly with his fingers.

Seeing this, Gu Weiqing glanced at Meng Qingyi and found that her lips were red and swollen, as if she had been loved by someone. She frowned, made up her mind, and said hypocritically: "Okay. Huai Nian."

"In that case, Lanlan, just apologize to Jingyan and let this matter be over."

"But mom"

Gu Huainian wanted to refute, but Gu Weiqing's eyes suddenly became sharp and dark, and he glared at him, then moved his gaze to Jiang Zhilan, meaning that he should be sensible and just apologize.

Jiang Zhilan secretly clenched his fingers, took a deep breath, pretended to be pitiful, and choked up, "Boss Chu, it was all my fault last night. I hope you can forgive me."

Jiang Zhilan lowered his head slightly, with the corners of his mouth turned down.

"Listen to your father in the future. Don't talk back to him again and again. He will tell everyone that you are an unfilial daughter. This will not be good for your reputation."

"Also, please persuade Mr. Jiang not to throw things at people at every turn. It's okay if he hurts his own people, but it would be terrible if he hurts someone he shouldn't have offended." Chu Jingyan said a lot of things, making indirect accusations.

"I forgive you, you can go now."

Jiang Zhilan stood up, his voice trembling, "Thank you, Mr. Chu."

She glared at Meng Qingyi fiercely, and when she saw her lips, her brows furrowed. This bitch actually let her climb up to Chu Jingyan's high branch. No wonder Chu Jingyan always favored her.

She had to let the old woman make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise it would be disastrous if she really clung to Chu Jingyan in the future.

"Jingyan, we'll leave first. You should take good care of your injuries." Gu Weiqing looked at Chu Jingyan and forced a smile.

Before leaving, Jiang Minglang glared at her viciously. He was so angry that he was about to curse her, but when he saw Chu Jingyan's impatient look, he swallowed his words back.

With a "bang", the door was closed.

Meng Qingyi breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back on the sofa, looking gloomy.

Chu Jingyan raised his eyes and stole a glance at Meng Qingyi, "Yiyi, are you okay?"

Meng Qingyi took a deep breath and stood up, "Second brother, don't you have anything to ask me?"

Chu Jingyan shook his head, moved closer to her side, raised his hand and touched her hair, "Yiyi, if you want to say it, say it. If you don't want to say it, don't say it."

She lowered her eyes, her expression dimming, "He is indeed my father."

"But he kicked me out of the house five years ago."

Seeing that she looked embarrassed, Chu Jingyan hooked her waist, let her head rest on his shoulder, and patted Meng Qingyi's back gently.

"Seven years ago, he brought his pregnant mistress to our house. Old Madam Jiang asked my mother to divorce her husband to make room for them in order to give birth to the grandson in his mistress' belly."

"My mother originally planned to divorce, but they went too far, so she planned to drag them down. I don't know why she later thought it through and wanted to take me away." Meng Qingyi leaned on his shoulder and told the story.

"I don't know what leverage the old lady had over my mother. At that time, I was not yet 18 years old, and my mother had to give up my custody." When she said this, Meng Qingyi's nose felt a little sour and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears.

"I lived in the Jiang family for another year. During this year, Jiang Zhilan and her daughter became more and more arrogant. They put a lot of obstacles in my way, but I didn't care about them. I avoided them most of the time. I just hoped to become independent and move out as soon as possible."

"But before even two years had passed, the Jiang family kicked me out." Meng Qingyi spoke in a lower and lower voice, and by the end she was crying.
