However, Jiang Huan's hopes were destined to be dashed. Jin Lan would never touch her. Someone so malicious and venomous, who would harm even her own sister, he found repulsive to even look at. To touch her, he felt like he would have to chop off his own hand!
Jin Lan left with the flowers for Jiang Yan, leaving Jiang Huan sitting on the sofa, lost in thought. She couldn't quite believe it. She was clearly more attractive than Jiang Yan, her figure was hotter, and in every way she was superior to that detestable sister. Why hadn't Jin Lan taken the bait?
The more this happened, the more Jiang Huan craved Jin Lan. In the past, no matter what kind of man it was, a mere flick of her finger and they would all come rushing towards her. This was the first time someone had ignored her advances.
Jiang's father and mother had been sent out to buy things. When they returned and saw the purchases, but Jin Lan was gone, and their daughter was still sitting on the sofa, lost in thought, her mother asked, "Huanhuan, Dr. Jin was here? Where did he go?"
"Mmm," Jiang Huan replied absently, looking at her swollen foot.
"Then where is he? Why are you just sitting there?" Jiang's mother asked, looking at her daughter in surprise.
"Oh, he came to see my sister, but she wasn't home, so he said he went to pick her up. My sister really is something; I already told her Dr. Jin was coming for dinner, and she still went to work." Jiang Huan complained about Jiang Yan.
Jiang's father and mother both frowned upon hearing this. They felt Jiang Yan was being too unreasonable this time. Regarding Jiang Yan's refusal to let her sister stay at home, both parents felt she was being immature.
As parents, they wished for their children to live in harmony and did not want anyone to disrupt that peace.
"This child is becoming more and more unreasonable. We only got through this family crisis because of her. She deserves credit, but she can't be this willful," Jiang's mother expressed increasing dissatisfaction with her younger daughter's recent attitude, feeling a constant prick in her heart.
"Let's not talk about it. If it weren't for Yan Yan, I'd still be in prison," Jiang's father said calmly. "Let's cook."
"Dad, you got out because of Dr. Jin, not because of sister," Jiang Huan said dismissively, curling her lip.
"Exactly. If we relied on her, our whole family would have been driven to death long ago. It's all thanks to Dr. Jin. I'll call Dr. Jin right now." Jiang's mother also felt her elder daughter made a valid point. She knew her daughter Jiang Yan too well; she was a complete simpleton, utterly clueless about social etiquette. All these matters were handled by Dr. Jin.
The doctor had finally come for a meal, and she, instead, didn't even bother to return. Did she want to lose such a good boyfriend like Dr. Jin?
Jiang's mother called Jin Lan, but it showed as being in a call. So she called Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan was selling things and didn't answer the first time. She only picked up the second time. Jiang's mother's temper flared even more. She immediately launched into an angry tirade, "Jiang Yan, have your wings grown strong enough? Can you be a little more sensible? Even if you've done something for the family, there's no need to be frosty with people every day! This house is yours, we can all move out, alright? We won't take advantage of you!"
Jiang Yan was already feeling unwell today, but to earn money for the family's living expenses, she had persevered and come to her part-time job. She was suffering from a headache due to the strain. Suddenly, being scolded so harshly by her mother on the phone, her eyes immediately turned red with anger. "Mom, what do you want! I'm already exhausted! I have classes every day, and I still come out to work part-time to support the family. Can't you consider how hard I'm working!"
Because she was too agitated, her voice became very loud, attracting the attention of the customers. Seeing this, the store manager quickly came over and pulled her to the back.
