Chapter 349: Chapter 349: Inquiring the Disgust Value in Advance

The next day.

Jiang Yunchuan hesitated as soon as he saw Jiang Nanshu. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Jiang Nanshu was just sitting beside her desk, propping her chin with her hand while reading a book.

She guessed that the video of her adding sleeping pills had been seen; even though she hadn’t drugged Lu Qingyan this time, she didn’t plan to explain.

Mr. Jiang also came to look for her, seemingly wanting to ask her something, but upon seeing her indifferent demeanor, he didn’t know how to start.

It was then that Jiang Nanshu turned her head, saw Jiang Yunchuan and Mr. Jiang at the door, and called out, "Is there something?"

The two of them: "..."

In unison: "No."

Quite capable of holding it in.

"Ow."

Jiang Nanshu continued to read her book.

Jiang Yunchuan pulled Mr. Jiang aside.

With a grave face, he asked, "Dad, can you still hear Nannan’s inner thoughts?"

Reminded by Jiang Yunchuan’s question, Mr. Jiang realized that he had not heard Jiang Nanshu’s inner voice since they had returned from Port City.

So he countered, "Can you not hear it anymore?"

Jiang Yunchuan with a serious expression: "I can’t hear it... What’s going on?"

Mr. Jiang pondered for a moment, sighed, and said, "Let it be, don’t delve too deeply into it. I’m wondering what to do about the Lu Family? Doesn’t your sister like Lu Qingyan? Why would she drug him? This incident has been temporarily suppressed by Young Master Lu, but what are we to do?"

Mr. Jiang was so anxious that bubbles formed in his mouth, and his worry turned his hair white.

Jiang Yunchuan shook his head in confusion: "I don’t know... They were fine the day before yesterday, Brother Yan even asked Nanshu to stay by his side when the birthday party started..."

"Why would she do this..."

Jiang Yunchuan had thought of many possibilities, but he had never considered Jiang Nanshu would do such a thing.

Mr. Jiang clenched his teeth: "Forget it, even if the Lu Family blames us, we must protect Nannan... All we can say is that the two were fated but not destined."

Jiang Yunchuan pursed his lips and kept silent: "But Brother Yan is the one who’s been hurt in this incident, and Nanshu definitely did wrong. Dad, we can’t just blindly protect her."

"What would you have us do? If Qingyan were alive, it would still be okay, but if he died, do you want to push your sister out to pay with her life? As a father, all I can do is try to protect her. Alas, the Jiang Family won’t have an easy time in the future."

Being on the Lu Family’s mind, what good days would the Jiang Family have left?

Moreover, the crisis faced by the Jiang Family due to recent whistleblowing had not yet been resolved.

Jiang Nanshu took sick leave for these three days.

Only when she heard the news that Lu Qingyan had woken up in the hospital did she know that the dust had settled.

Jiang Nanshu also felt that her heart was quite indifferent; she could immerse herself when sinking was necessary, and be clear-headed when it was time to withdraw. She thought her dependence on Zhou Yanxu was love and that it would end when faced with Zhou Yanxu’s rejection.

She didn’t know how to love someone, she only knew how to keep herself from getting hurt.

Her own self was always what she loved the most.

"Where is Jiang Nanshu? Have her come down and see me."

Jiang Nanshu suddenly heard Lu Qingyan’s cold voice coming from downstairs, her eyebrows slightly raised.

This familiar place, these familiar opening lines.

It made Jiang Nanshu momentarily feel as though she had returned to the time when she had first arrived in this world.

She walked straight out, stood at the stair railing, and looked down to see Lu Qingyan.

His complexion was pale, his black hair fell over his brows, and his dark peach blossom eyes were so calm they were devoid of any emotion, even somewhat indifferent.

Dressed in a black woolen coat, with gauze wrapped around his wrist, faintly seeping with blood.

When he heard movement.

Jiang Yunchuan jumped, "How did you come back?"

Mrs. Jiang looked at Jiang Nanshu, her eyes reddening. She had been lingering at the Jiang Family’s front door for the past few days and had heard some news about Jiang Nanshu. She was worried Jiang Nanshu would be upset and had found a way to get in.

"Nannan..." She approached.

Jiang Nanshu stepped back, "Ms. Song, your daughter is Chu Muxi, not me."

"I was wrong, you are my daughter. Nannan, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I miss you so much. I’m dying of guilt," Mrs. Jiang said as she began to cry.

Because she had been crying for days, her eyes were dry, sometimes clear, sometimes blurred, causing her a lot of discomforts.

Jiang Nanshu smiled at her, "You’re not wrong. The one who’s wrong is me. It’s wrong that I didn’t die in a filthy ditch when I was taken away at birth. It’s because I’m tough and have burdened you. It’s my existence that has harmed you like this. Ms. Song, my biological mother was already dead when I was taken away. Let’s not disturb each other and retain a bit of dignity."

"Nannan! Listen to me, I regret everything."

Jiang Nanshu didn’t want to listen anymore, "Talk to the ghosts about it. I’m not keeping you company."

Mrs. Jiang tried to grab Jiang Nanshu, but Jiang Yunchuan quickly stopped her, "Mom, just calm down. If anyone should blame Nannan, it’s you. Now you’re the one with regrets. Nannan has been called off from her engagement and is upset. Stop bothering her, please?"

"Called off the engagement?" Mrs. Jiang murmured, "What should we do now..."

Jiang Yunchuan sighed and left his mentally troubled mother alone.

Upstairs.

Jiang Nanshu summoned Da Shachun and directly said, "I want to check my Disgust Value."

Da Shachun: [Are you sure, Host? Once you check now, you can’t check again for a year.]

"Confirmed."

[Okie dokie.]

Jiang Nanshu waited for the result.

After a long while, Da Shachun reappeared: [Host, the results are out...]
