The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind-Chapter 176: I’m Really Impressed by You Guys

Jiang Nanshu ran swiftly.

Lu Qingyan turned and bent down to pick up the notebook from the ground, its pages both moist and dirty with a musty smell.

But each passage in the front indicated it had been flipped through.

Lu Qingyan sighed softly, picked up the notebook, and, holding the dog cage, left.

He went to the kitchen, lit the stove, and tossed the notebook directly onto it. Flames danced in his dark pupils until all that remained was ash, then he turned off the fire.

As he passed the old housekeeper, a sharp warning glinted in his eyes, speaking slowly, "Who let you lock her up?"

The old housekeeper bowed slightly, his tone respectful, "Young Master, it was all an accident."

Lu Qingyan’s dark eyes were cold as ice, his lips briefly curling into a mocking smile, "Don’t make decisions on your own."

He walked on, "Clean up the trash inside."

The old housekeeper sighed quietly.

Young Master, have you really moved on?

With a hunched back, the old housekeeper cleaned up the mess for Lu Qingyan.

Little Ha was released by Lu Qingyan and intelligently ran onto the lawn.

The Jiang Family, Jiang Nanshu, and Shang Xu were all present.

Jiang Yunchuan was so anxious he was practically bubbling with fury, livid, "This is infuriating, it’s almost twelve o’clock, you disappeared for four whole hours, I almost called the police, but after explaining the situation to Brother Yan over the phone, he came right away. Nannan, are you alright? Where have you been these past few hours?"

Jiang Nanshu shook her head, patting the dust off her skirt, "I’m fine, I fell asleep in the basement downstairs."

Jiang Yunchuan, "..."

"You really have some nerve. Mom and Dad were nearly worried to death!"

Jiang Nanshu seemed surprised, her tone self-reproaching, "It’s all my fault, I made Mom and Dad worry."

[Hmm? Worried about me? Why didn’t I see them show up, especially my biological mother? If it were Golden Sister, she would have been the first to arrive at the scene, right?]

Jiang Yunchuan opened his mouth, hesitated, then finally said, "It’s okay... you don’t have to blame yourself, it’s not your fault, Dad should have just come back from the company, Mom... Mom was called to the Song Family today, she might stay there overnight."

[Pfft...]

"Uh-huh." Jiang Nanshu nodded obediently, "I’m glad I didn’t make them run around for me, otherwise I would feel terribly guilty. Tell Dad he doesn’t need to come back specially; isn’t the company busy with the big money-making project my brother has? Let them focus on that."

[Please just go bankrupt already. I wonder if Ms. Song will still go back to support her family when she finds out they’re planning to have Chu Xin replace her after her death. She’s just like Mrs. Lu, brainwashed by her own family to the point of having an empty head. Now I’ll have to find a way to accelerate your self-destruction. Ugh! Having you around is truly exasperating!]

Jiang Yunchuan’s pupils dilated in shock.

No...

How could her grandmother’s death be connected to her maternal family?

Aren’t bones connected by sinew after all?

No matter what way one looked at it, Mrs. Jiang was the daughter of the Song Family. She died of cancer, so wouldn’t her family guard against outsiders instead of supporting Chu Xin to take her place as their stepmother?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yunchuan’s face turned green.

Please no, how disgusting. Just the thought of Chu Xin’s smug face after entering their door made him nauseous.

Jiang Nanshu was too busy to mind him because Shang Xu, still angry, was now clinging to her leg, "Sister Nanshu, how could you say something and not mean it?"

"What?"

Shang Xu’s little face puffed up angrily, "Marry me, not Uncle anymore, wuwuwu, you said you’d wait until I grew up, you liar."

Jiang Nanshu looked at his serious expression and couldn’t help but burst out laughing, "I wish I could, baby, but we’re so far apart in age, by the time you grow up, I’ll be old."

"I don’t mind," Shang Xu hurriedly said, afraid that Jiang Nanshu would really run away, cooing at her, "Sister Nanshu, don’t you love Xuxu?"

Jiang Nanshu felt the situation was strangely familiar.

And then it dawned on her.

[Damn, this is exactly the scene where Zhou Yanxu and I shared our feelings for each other! How could there be another cycle of this, it’s outrageous.]

Lu Qingyan came to a halt at the top of the stairs, his eyelashes drooping as if he hadn’t heard anything and continued walking by.

[So this is what an age difference feels like, no wonder when I asked him to wait for me to grow up, he just laughed and said I was being silly, that he’d be old by then, and he never really planned to wait for me.]

Such a simple concept, yet it took her a long time to understand.

Jiang Nanshu rubbed Shang Xu’s head, "Then let’s wait until you’re grown up before discussing it again."

Even if Zhou Yanxu’s love was abundant and his tenderness could be given to many, the lovable never belonged to her.

But he genuinely saved her from a fire, and however bad she was, she couldn’t forget his kindness.

So when Zhou Yanxu burned to death in the big villa, she made sure her birth parents met the same fiery fate to accompany him.

He wanted her to inherit his legacy, and she fought with all her might to take it.

Jiang Yunchuan was perplexed, who was this sudden "Yanxu"?

Seeing Lu Qingyan approach, he hurriedly said, "Brother Yan, thank goodness for you, otherwise, I wouldn’t have known where Nannan was locked up."

"It’s okay," Lu Qingyan smiled, "I’ll stay here for the next few days, so you can look for me if you need anything."

Jiang Yunchuan’s eyes widened, "Aren’t you going to the company? You have investments too, how can you leave it all to me! I have to deal with Lin Yueyue as well, that idiot sent me a message last night, saying that the three hundred thousand I gave her isn’t enough to cover her debt pit, and she wants another three hundred thousand."

Jiang Nanshu watched with glee, indignant in her tone, "That’s despicable, how can Sister Yueyue extort you like that, she must be acting out of love-turned-hate, Fifth Brother, I’m sure she’ll stop these childish acts if you make up with her."

Saying this, she glanced at Lu Qingyan, her cheeks reddening slightly, "Just like I used to be, doing anything for Brother Qingyan’s attention, all for love."

[Three hundred thousand multiplied by three hundred thousand, so much money, hahaha, hilarious.]

Jiang Yunchuan: "..."

Finally, he couldn’t stand it anymore and through gritted teeth blurted out, "Lin Yueyue, she has AIDS!"

Jiang Nanshu: "..."

Suddenly, she couldn’t laugh anymore.

[Why do you know she has AIDS! I need a reasonable explanation!]

"What? Sister Yueyue has? My goodness, how could such a misfortune befall such a pure and beautiful girl? Fifth Brother, how did you find out!" Jiang Nanshu feigned shock while seething inwardly.

Jiang Yunchuan touched his nose guiltily, "Because I secretly investigated her... I found her private life to be very indiscreet, she’s been frequently visiting the hospital these past few days, and after asking the Second Brother for help, I found out about her medical history."

[And to think it wasn’t about love, even after breaking up, you still investigate her, so much love there.]

Jiang Yunchuan: "..."

He didn’t investigate anything, it was all based on what Jiang Nanshu babbled on about.

[Fine, Second Brother bends the law for personal gain, I’ll take the chance to report him to the hospital, leaking someone’s medical record, they’ll have to fire you even if it doesn’t cost you money! Then I’ll step forward saying I reported it by accident, just to infuriate you both.]
