Chapter 62 -62: Raising You All Over Again

“Xiaozhe, why didn’t you sit in the front hall when you came back?” Jiang Zhang said with a smile, “After all, today is Yunxuan’s birthday. No matter what, you should stay and cut the cake with Yunxuan before you leave, right?”

Those relatives had known for a long time that Jiang Zhe had left the Jiang Family; they had originally looked down on her and didn’t want to bother with her.

But there were rumors last time, many had witnessed her talking to Chi Feng in a very harmonious manner, and Fa Pinglun had mentioned that she had won the championship in an international competition. Now, seeing her, of course, they all had different thoughts in mind.

The relatives who were on good terms with the Jiang Family, most of whom were in the garment business, could overlook the piano matter, but they were still very enthusiastic about Chi Feng.

It’s not about collaborating with Chi Feng directly, but any small opportunity slipping from Chi Feng’s hands would be enough to keep everyone’s business worries at bay.

The fourth cousin’s wife, who had always disliked Jiang Zhe, was now more enthusiastic than anyone else: “Yes, Xiaozhe, you’ve come all this way, how can you not cut the cake? Have a little piece before you go.”

Jiang Zhe did not show a pleasant face to these people. Her cold eyes gave the fourth cousin’s wife a brief and indifferent glance, which made her feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Remembering how she had always been obliging towards Jiang Fanyue and indifferent to Jiang Zhe, the fourth cousin’s wife couldn’t help feeling embarrassed.

Jiang Zhe turned her head and saw that faint glimmer of hope in Jiang Yunxuan’s eyes, and she nodded.

Staying to cut the cake with Jiang Yunxuan, that she could do.

Seeing her agreement, Jiang Zhang immediately said, “Yunxuan, hurry and take your sister inside.”

Jiang Zhe was led by the hand by Jiang Yunxuan into the hall.

In the hall, seeing Jiang Yunxuan bringing Jiang Zhe in, the faces of friends and family all changed to an expression Jiang Zhe rarely saw directed at herself.

These expressions were originally meant for Jiang Fanyue.

“Xiaozhe.”

“Xiaozhe, come sit over here.”

The calls were quite friendly, but Jiang Zhe didn’t need this kindness.

She barely lifted her eyelashes, quickly lowering them again, not even bothering to cast a sidelong glance.

Her cold demeanor made many want to turn their faces on the spot, but the thought of Chi Feng made them barely hold back.

When Jiang Fanyue saw her come in, the unease in her heart grew, but the familiar scene before her gradually dispersed her anxieties. There was no change; everything remained as it was.

Jiang Zhe was still the same, and everyone’s attitude towards Jiang Zhe would remain the same.

“Sister, you’re back? I’m really glad. Will you come back more often in the future?” Jiang Fanyue’s tone was both gentle and magnanimous, capturing the perfect demeanor of a host, “What do you want to drink? I’ll ask Aunt Zhang to get it for you.”

The fourth cousin’s wife, who had followed in, hurriedly pulled her aside: “This is Xiaozhe’s home, of course, she can come back whenever she wants, right Xiaozhe?”

“Of course.” Jiang Fanyue also realized she had overstepped, and a forced smile appeared on her face.

“My name is Jiang Zhe.” Jiang Zhe lifted her gaze, her eyes filled with icy frost, piercing and bone-chilling.

The fourth cousin’s wife then remembered, she had never called her Xiaozhe before; the sudden change of address might be friendly but did seem a bit odd.

Jiang Fanyue knew what everyone was thinking, how they were all trying to please Jiang Zhe.

Even her parents felt the same.

Indeed, after losing their previous designer, and with this current designer Xun Liya causing such a big headache for the Jiang Family, the family’s business was indeed in hot water.

Thus, pleasing Jiang Zhe had become everyone’s consensus.

Under these circumstances, she too had to bow her head and said, “Sister, the fourth cousin’s wife is right, the Jiang Family is your home, and you are always welcome to come back.”

Jiang Zhe didn’t say a word, she just picked a spot, sat down casually, her long legs had nowhere to rest, and appeared particularly enticing under the short skirt.

Jiang Zhe looked down, and no one could see the emotions hidden under her long lashes.

She made it clear that she was ignoring everyone, including Gu Jiaheng.

Gu Jiaheng’s face turned slightly unsightly, knowing full well that she had used such tactics to catch his attention over the years, yet he still felt annoyed by her seemingly indifferent attitude.

He was curious to see just how long Jiang Zhe could keep up this facade.

Jiang Zhang and Liang Jinlan came over, rarely holding a fruit plate, and said with a smile, “Xiaozhe, have some fruit.”

Seeing her unmoved, Liang Jinlan understood that the adoption dissolution agreement they had previously issued had indeed hurt her feelings.

If only she had known that Fanyue knew Chi Feng earlier, Liang Jinlan wouldn’t have ended the adoption with her so soon.

Who could have thought of that at the time?

“Xiaozhe, here’s the thing, this time the Jiang Family’s clothing business has really suffered a huge loss. You know, Xun Liya hasn’t always been with the Jiang Family, and the plagiarism issue has nothing to do with us either. We’re just caught up in this undeserved disaster, resulting in having to destroy a large amount of clothing and make compensation. There’s nothing you need to do or say regarding Chi Feng…” Liang Jinlan truly regretted it all to the point her guts turned green these past few days.

But she simply couldn’t meet Chi Feng, only able to negotiate with Chi Feng’s lawyer.

And the lawyer was strictly professional, not conveying any of their messages, only handling the plagiarism case.

Jiang Zhe didn’t speak, and Liang Jinlan, with a thick skin, continued, “You just need to give me Chi Feng’s contact information; I’ll handle the rest.”

Liang Jinlan made such a statement in front of everyone, bearing the weight of humiliation.

Even though Jiang Zhe had lived with the Jiang Family for so many years, she had never heard such words before.

Liang Jinlan chose to speak in public because she had figured out that even if Jiang Zhe wouldn’t give her face, she would have to consider the faces of so many others, right?

It’s tough to slap a smiling face, and she was pretty sure that it would be difficult for Jiang Zhe to reject her in public.

The people around had already started discussing in twos and threes, “Xiaozhe, look, your mother has said so much, just give her Chi Feng’s number.”

“Exactly, after all, they raised you, is this not a small matter?”

“Not willing to lend a hand for such a simple favor, isn’t that ungrateful? Think about the fourteen years of upbringing!”

“The bitter results of being a mother—if it ends up like this, then what’s the point of raising children at all?”

Jiang Zhe slowly raised her eyes unhurriedly.

Her movements were slow and carefree, yet in the eyes of the onlookers, they were like a raging storm.

They felt like they couldn’t withstand her presence.

How could someone so young possess such an imposing aura?

“No.” Jiang Zhe flatly refused.

The crowd’s moral coercion fell through, they looked at each other, all of them not expecting this outcome.

“Jiang Zhe, think about it again, are you sure you don’t?” Jiang Zhang’s expression darkened slightly.

“Doesn’t Gu Jiaheng have it?” Jiang Zhe said indifferently, not even sparing Gu Jiaheng a glance.

Suddenly pulled into the eye of the storm, Gu Jiaheng felt the gaze of those around him and knew inside that Jiang Zhe was once again vying for his attention.
