Chapter 152 - We Stole What Belonged To Her

They all knew why Jiang Xun didn’t go home.

Even if Jixuan was Nianzhen’s son, he had to say that this was Jiang Xun’s home before.

“Are you blaming Dad?” Yuexi’s face turned cold. Since Jixuan had been dragging her down tonight, she wouldn’t be polite either. “Have you forgotten why she left back then? It was because she was disobedient. But later, Dad also said to let bygones be bygones and that no one would stop her from returning. So it was she who doesn’t want to come back.”

Chengye’s face was dark, but Jixuan said, “Dad, this role is originally Jiang Xun’s. Are you snatching it from Jiang Xun to give your other daughter?”

But Jiang Xun was also your daughter!

Everyone understood what Jixuan was implying.

Chengye fell silent. His dark face gradually eased into one that was filled with guilt.

“You’ve grown up.” Chengye patted Jixuan’s shoulder with relief. “You’re sensible now.”

Jixuan immediately straightened his back and acted as if he was proud of being praised by his father.

He knew exactly what Chengye liked to see.

Sure enough, Chengye smiled and said to Yuexi, “Jixuan makes sense. Is a small role worth you fighting over? I’ll ask around tomorrow and arrange a more important role for you.”

Nianzhen immediately adjusted her gentle smile, held Yuexi’s hand, and said, “In this way, you and Jiang Xun will be on the same production team. You two sisters can take care of each other. If anything happens to Jiang Xun, you must help her more, especially when it comes to acting. She has no experience, but you are a professional actor. So you can teach her more.”

She would teach Jiang Xun to the extent that she would be fired.

Chengye was pleased that Nianzhen was so sensible. He nodded and said to Yuexi, “You and Jiang Xun are on the same production team. So you should help each other.”

Yuexi didn’t have any appetite for her meal anymore. It tasted like wax.

After dinner, Nianzhen and Yuexi grabbed Jixuan while Chengye was in the study.

Yuexi slapped Jixuan’s arm unhappily. “What’s wrong with you tonight? You’re always defending Jiang Xun!”

“I just don’t want things to get out of hand at home,” Jixuan said in a low voice. “Besides, there are so many roles. Why do you have to compete with Jiang Xun?”

Yuexi sneered. “When did you become so close with Jiang Xun? What kind of drug did she give you?”

Jixuan sighed. “In fact, Jiang Xun has never taken the initiative to provoke you. If you don’t provoke her, she won’t do anything to you. So why can’t we just go our separate ways and not interfere with each other?”

With Jiang Xun’s temper, Yuexi didn’t want to cause trouble. Jiang Xun couldn’t even remember Yuexi.

Therefore, who could she blame if Yuexi was at a disadvantage in Jiang Xun’s hands?

“What do you mean I shouldn’t provoke her?” Yuexi stomped her feet angrily. “She was the one who stole my role first.”

Jixuan shook his head helplessly. “She was the one who got the role. So how could she steal your role? If you really want to talk about stealing…”

Jixuan lowered his head as his expression darkened. “We were also the ones who stole what originally belonged to her.”

It was Nianzhen who became Chengye’s mistress and caused Jiang Xun’s mother’s death. Yuexi had stolen the fatherly love that was supposed to belong to Jiang Xun.

He had also attempted to hurt Jiang Xun when he had just returned.

However, Jiang Xun stood up to protect him when he was bullied.

In fact, Jiang Xun was the most generous and kind person he had ever met.

Jixuan left in silence after he finished speaking.

He knew it would be useless no matter how much he said to Nianzhen and Yuexi.

“What do you mean by we stole from Jiang Xun?” Yuexi was huffing with anger. “Mom, how can he say that? Isn’t he blaming you for what he said?”

Nianzhen’s face was dark and ugly. She did not expect Jixuan to say such things.

However, she only had one son, and he was the only son of the Jiang family. So her future depended on Jixuan.

Nianzhen suppressed her thoughts and pulled Yuexi back to Yuexi’s bedroom. She carefully checked that there was no one around the bedroom, then closed the door and pulled Yuexi to sit down.

“It’s okay if you can’t get Jiang Xun’s role. Your brother is right. There are so many roles. Wouldn’t it be better to ask your father to get you a more important role?” Nianzhen said in a low voice, “You didn’t discuss it with me beforehand. Next time, you don’t have to snatch Jiang Xun’s role. You only have to think of a way to make her unable to play it. As for those unimportant roles, except for Jiang Xun, it doesn’t matter whom they give them to.”

Yuexi thought about it and realized it was true. “I’m just so angry. Knowing that the director gave the role to Jiang Xun, a layman who doesn’t know anything and didn’t even give it to me. I thought, what right do I have? I only wanted to get the role from Jiang Xun on my effort. She’ll be very angry when she finds out that her role is mine. But Mom, you’re right. If something like this happens again in the future, I’ll just make her role disappear.”

Nianzhen patted the back of Yuexi’s hand. “Your dad will get you a good role. When the time comes, you and Jiang Xun will be on the same production team. She doesn’t know anything about acting. You pretend to be nice and teach her how to act, but you should teach her everything wrong. Make her perform poorly, so bad that she’ll be kicked out of the production team.”

“I understand!”

“Let’s not talk about this now,” Nianzhen said. “This Saturday is the foundation’s business banquet. Tomorrow, I’ll accompany you to pick out clothes. Although you already have Gu Xiaoze, it doesn’t prevent people from knowing how outstanding you are.”

When Yuexi heard this, she immediately perked up.

*

As a qualified spokesperson, Jiang Xun decided to wear Yi Lan’s clothes to the foundation’s business banquet without consideration.

Even as Yi Lan’s general manager, Lan Yijie, couldn’t help but say to Jiang Xun, “Be it the brand, price, or style, Yi Lan’s image cannot match up to such banquet. As Yi Lan’s spokesperson, I’m very happy you’re doing your duty. But on this kind of occasion, even if you choose to wear branded clothes, I won’t say anything.”

“It’s fine. I think Yi Lan is pretty good!” Jiang Xun waved her hand nonchalantly.

She felt there was a high probability that Mufeng’s uncle and aunt had invited her out of the blue.

Moreover, Mufeng had also said that his uncle and aunt were unkind.

No matter how expensive her clothes were, she would still be in a difficult position.

Yijie didn’t know what Jiang Xun was thinking. After hearing what Jiang Xun said, he was so touched that he was on the verge of crying.

He decided that when he returned, he would praise his colleagues responsible for the business.

They did an excellent job in the research. They had good taste!

They found a representative like Jiang Xun who was responsible, affordable, and capable of carrying the brand.

For this, Yijie personally brought Jiang Xun to the design department of their company.

Some new collections hadn’t been released yet, and Jiang Xun could choose from them.
