Chapter 98 -095: To Get Rid of You (Three Updates)

How much money did you give?

Jiang Fengwei couldn’t help but follow Jiang Yan’s line of thought, and, not counting the allowance he provided for his family during college, at least sixty percent of the salary he’d earned since his first job after graduation had gone to the family.

Over twenty years.

“No, Big Brother, are you taking a child’s words seriously? Mom was just angry because Little Yan fought with someone at school and got expelled. She scolded him in her fury. Would she really have the heart to drive away her eldest grandson?”

Upon seeing Jiang Fengwei’s attitude, Uncle Jiang immediately became anxious. He hastily interjected to break his nephew’s train of thought and explained on behalf of the old lady, “Last year, when you just came in here, Little Yan caused quite a few troubles…”

Jiang Yan turned his head with a cold gaze towards Uncle Jiang, “Uncle, you’ve gotten pretty good at spouting nonsense with your eyes wide open. Putting aside whether I caused trouble or not, I want to ask you, did Grandma really not drive me away that day?”

Uncle Jiang wanted to say no, but facing Jiang Yan’s unusually intense stare, he opened his mouth but couldn’t utter a single word.

Jiang Yan stopped looking at him and turned his head back to continue speaking to Jiang Fengwei, “I had no choice but to ask my mother for money. She gave me two thousand in one go, which was supposed to cover my senior year tuition and living expenses. As you know, ever since you two divorced, my mother didn’t want to see me because of you. She gave me that much money in one lump sum so that I wouldn’t have to go looking for her again. But when I came back, Grandma took the money from me. After that, she only agreed to give me twenty yuan a week for living expenses.

Twenty yuan, do you think that’s enough to last a week?”

Jiang Fengwei pursed his lips, looking at him without making a sound.

“Actually, to be precise, I didn’t even get twenty yuan a week. As you know, senior year doesn’t have a weekly day off. If I didn’t go back, she definitely wouldn’t bring me the money. I might only return after a week, two weeks, or even a month, and she would still only give me twenty at most. Moreover, every time she handed over that twenty, it was like she was doling out charity. Did she forget that she had demanded the money from me to start with?”

“Even if it was just for a meal, I knew I couldn’t stay in Jianghai Town. As it happened, the city’s No. 1 High School was recruiting Song Jiawen, so I begged the teacher to let me transfer there. I could find some part-time jobs in the city to earn a bit of living money.

So, Jiang Fengwei, do you know how I survived this year? Do you know why I studied so hard?”

“To get away from you, to get away from all the Jiang Family.”

Jiang Fengwei looked up sharply, his eyes wide as he stared at him.

Jiang Yan sneered, “What, surprised? I don’t believe you don’t know what kind of people the Jiang Family are. So, how long exactly do you plan to keep feigning ignorance? You were never the person who brought glory to the Jiang Family. In the past, they treated you like a cash cow; now, they consider you a disgrace. They’re a bunch of vampires, who drained your blood and sent you here, and now they want to drain mine. You can play the fool, but I won’t.”

“Reform well in there. When you come out, I will provide for your old age, as the law dictates, but if there are any other demands, I’m sorry, I won’t comply.”

Having said his piece, Jiang Yan stood up and left without a second glance.

Jiang Fengwei felt a chill throughout his body, his mind empty, as he watched the direction of Jiang Yan’s departure, feeling an unprecedented despair and sorrow…

This child, what on earth had he experienced outside over this past year to be able to say such things?

Suddenly, Jiang Fengwei realized that since he had come in, he seemed to have never worried about how Jiang Yan was doing. He worried about how his elderly parents would cope with the shock of his offense, he worried about how it would affect the lives of Second Uncle Jiang and Jiang Lao San… but he had never worried about Jiang Yan, his only son…

He arrogantly assumed he was born to lead a good life without worry, but when you think about it, when he was arrested last year, he was only seventeen!

Sitting beside Jiang Lao San was completely stunned by Jiang Yan’s words, so much so that even after Jiang Yan had been gone for a while, he was still unresponsive until the eldest brother called out, “Lao San…”

Jiang Lao San shivered back to his senses and hastily said, “Big brother, why didn’t you speak up just now about Jiang Yan? Has this kid lost his mind? How could he say such outrageous and unfilial things? His grandparents are his parents, and we are his family. How could he… how could he say such defiant and disrespectful words? He’s about to become a college student, how could…”

“Family? You say you are his family, but did you know where he has been these past few months? I remember you telling me that his mom took him away.”

Jiang Lao San froze in shock, realizing from Jiang Yan’s earlier words that his return to the city had nothing to do with his mother. He was out of money and had come back to study while also needing to earn his living expenses.

Jiang Lao San felt annoyed with himself, blaming his mother for not giving Jiang Yan his living expenses out of petty greed.

Now facing his elder brother’s interrogation, he could only offer a guilty defense, “But, but you can’t blame me, he transferred schools without a word. I went to the school and couldn’t find him. When I went home and told Mom, everyone thought it was his mom who had moved him. After all, transferring schools isn’t a trivial matter; who knew he would do it so quietly…”

Under Jiang Fengwei’s indifferent gaze, Jiang Lao San’s voice got softer and softer until he couldn’t make a sound.

“Heh heh….”

After a long silence, Jiang Fengwei suddenly burst into laughter. He bowed his head, his shoulders trembling as he laughed for a while before stopping.

When he looked up again, the tears in his eyes had been forced back, but his eyes were still red. He spoke in a hoarse voice, “Lao San, go back. From now on, don’t come to see me again. Tell our parents that I have repaid their kindness in raising me. From now on, pretend this son is already dead. Little Yan owes them nothing, even less to you, so none of you should go looking for him from now on.”

After finishing his speech, Jiang Fengwei stood up, his shoulders drooping and his head half-bowed as he walked inside, his staggering steps making him seem a decade older.

Jiang Lao San was dumbfounded. He got up in a daze until he was outside and pulled by Jiang Lao Er, which snapped him back to reality.

“What happened to you? I called you several times, and you didn’t respond. You looked like you lost your soul. Tell me, Lao San, did our elder brother scold Jiang Yan? He should have! That kid is too outrageous. Do you know what he did? He left without a word, driving the car away. Is he disregarding the two of us? Look at him, just got into university and already putting on airs. Who does he think he is? So amazing…”

…….

On the other hand, Jiang Yan drove back to the community at half-past nine. Song Jiawen and Huang Mao weren’t at home, but breakfast was set on the table, including his favorite tofu pudding, fried dough sticks, and pan-fried buns kept in a thermal container, along with two tea eggs and an egg pancake.

Did they take him for a pig?

There was a note on the dining table left by Song Jiawen:

“I’m going shopping with Zhu Jin this afternoon, do you want me to pick something up for you? If you don’t say anything, I’ll take that as a yes and just get a simple T-shirt and track pants. Stop wearing shorts, your leg hair is long, and it doesn’t look good.”

His earlier depression suddenly lifted, and Jiang Yan smiled, settling down to eat breakfast.
