"I refuse."
In the Jiang family's side hall, Jiang Xuxu looked at Guan Qishen and refused without hesitation.
Guan Qishen was clearly stunned for a moment, even thinking he had heard it wrong.
"What are you saying?"
"I said, I refuse," Jiang Xuxu kindly repeated word by word to him as he looked hard to hear.
Guan Qishen's face immediately became less attractive.
Plus last time, this is already the second time Xu Xu has not listened to him.
"Xuxu, don't be angry. I know you're still angry about your mother letting you leave the house that day, but everyone is a family, and besides, if it weren't for your parents, you wouldn't be able to return to the Jiang family now."
Jiang Xuxu glanced at him and said, "According to what you mean, should I still be grateful to you?"
As Guan Qishen was about to speak, Jiang Xuxu interrupted him abruptly, "Besides, I'm not your family anymore. My surname is Jiang now."
"Even if you recognize your biological parents back, we are still a family!" Guan Qi frowned deeply, "or do you really, as they said, don't you want to recognize us anymore after becoming the Miss Jiang of the Jiang family?"
Jiang Xuxu looked at him like that and asked in a low voice, "What if I say yes?"
When Jiang Su went downstairs to fetch freshly squeezed juice, he saw Jiang Han leaning against one of the railings on the second floor stairs, looking at something with a playful expression. As he approached, he happened to hear Jiang Xuxu's words.
The Jiang family villa has two living rooms in front and back. The main hall in the front is usually used for family gatherings or reception of guests, which is more formal. The side hall in the back is relatively small and faces the railing on the second floor. In other words, when viewed from the second floor, the situation inside the side hall can be clearly seen.
Jiang Su almost forgot about the juice in an instant, and his body twisted and leaned in.
The two heads were huddled together like that, listening to the gossip downstairs.
Downstairs, Jiang Xuxu still maintained a somewhat indifferent attitude and said, "I told you the day I left the Guan family that I have nothing to do with you anymore. Even if I'm not the Miss Jiang, I don't want to recognize you."
Guan Qishen's expression suddenly became very ugly due to Jiang Xuxu's words, but he quickly restrained himself and said in a deep voice,
"Xuxu, I have heard about what happened at the banquet. No matter what my parents did for, they raised you. You can't wait so much, even distancing yourself from Guan's family in front of so many people. Do you know how much it hurts them? My parents have never had a fight before. That day, they had a big argument because of you and fell ill on the same day."
Guan Qishen first gave a stern lecture, then slowed down his tone and said, "Even so, they didn't blame you. They were willing to let me bring my grandmother's bracelet to you. Xu Xu, your parents are really good to you. Don't always be so dissatisfied."
Jiang Xuxu's forehead veins slightly jumped.
She used to think that Guan Qishen was the only normal person in the Guan family. After all, from childhood to adulthood, Guan Qishen never deliberately suppressed her or caused her to be scolded like Guan Ruirui. Instead, he actively cared about her studies, gave her birthday gifts, and even occasionally comforted her when she was punished by Bai Shuqin.
Because of this, she once tried to treat Guan Qishen as her own brother, doing various things for him, and trying to get some warmth from him.
But later she realized.
Guan Qishen is not what he thinks.
I care about studying just because I don't want her to lose face as a closed family. I gave her a birthday gift from his admirer, which he didn't want, and comforting her was also to prevent her from causing trouble.
