"Really?"
Jiang Zhou's eyes held a hint of meaning as he looked at his younger sister. He took a step closer to her. "Then why do I feel like you're actually looking forward to Ning Anmiao being kicked out of the Ning family?"
Jiang Xixi's body stiffened slightly, and the nervousness in her voice was obvious. "How could that be? You're overthinking it."
After saying that, she pushed Jiang Zhou away and tried to catch up with their parents in a hurry.
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Zhou grabbed her wrist. His eyes were serious. "Jiang Xixi, our Jiang family has always had a family motto: never have the heart to harm others."
"Come on, I've already said I didn't harm her!" Jiang Xixi's pupils shrank, but she still refused to admit it and insisted on her innocence. "If you suspect me, do you have any evidence?"
Jiang Zhou said calmly, "I don't have evidence, but there have always been surveillance cameras in our family."
Jiang Xixi was stunned, and blood rushed to her head instantly.
There were surveillance cameras in the Jiang family?
Then the thing about her secretly inviting a tailor to the house to alter the clothes...
"Jiang Xixi, don't think you can do whatever you want just because Mom and Dad dote on you."
Jiang Zhou said slowly, "Human nature is inherently good. Don't go too far. The Jiang family is not all - powerful."
When they left the Ning family just now, Jiang Zhou noticed the black car parked at the door.
It was Lu Yan's car.
Jiang Xixi's mind was already in a mess because of the words "surveillance cameras". She didn't even notice that Jiang Zhou was lecturing her. She looked at him nervously with wide eyes.
After all, Jiang Xixi was timid. Facing Jiang Zhou's veiled threats, she couldn't hold on any longer and began to feel panicked.
"Um, brother..." She suddenly said timidly, her eyes evasive. "Is there really surveillance in our house?"
Jiang Zhou's expression was cold and unyielding. "Mom and Dad are getting old. I installed surveillance cameras in the house a long time ago in case of any accidents. What do you think?"
Jiang Xixi's heart skipped a beat.
Judging from this situation, it was probably true.
She knew very well that her tricks were not sophisticated. As long as Jiang Zhou checked the surveillance of these days and looked at the visiting guests, he would understand that it was all her self - directed and self - acted play.
If Mom and Dad knew about it, they would definitely be disappointed in her. Maybe they would even take her to the Ning family to apologize. Wouldn't all her efforts be in vain then!
"Since you don't admit it, let's wait until we've seen the surveillance and then make a judgment." Jiang Zhou said with a cold face in a matter - of - fact manner. Then he turned around and was about to enter the Jiang family's mansion.
"Wait a minute, brother!" Seeing that things were going wrong, Jiang Xixi panicked and quickly rushed over to stop him. "Brother, don't check the surveillance..."
"Why not? Didn't you say I was slandering you?" Jiang Zhou looked at his younger sister seriously with cold eyes.
Jiang Xixi knew she couldn't hide it anymore. She lowered her head. After a long time, she finally confessed. "Okay, I admit it. I was the one who did it."
After saying that, she quickly added, "Don't tell Mom and Dad. Otherwise, I'm done for!"
"You!" Although Jiang Zhou had already noticed something was wrong from the clues, he was still shocked to hear Jiang Xixi admit it in person.
"Jiang Xixi, why did you do such a thing!"
Jiang Zhou felt that he was getting to know his younger sister less and less.
In the early days, he thought it was just the comparison psychology among little girls, but what happened this time was far worse than he had thought.
This was no longer just comparison. It was malicious harm caused by jealousy!
"Give me an explanation." Jiang Zhou frowned tightly and his voice was cold.
"I just..." Her voice was hesitant. She seemed to choke with sobs and said with a crying voice, "I just hope she can stay away from my world and stop affecting my marriage!"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhou paused.
He also knew what a scoundrel Lin Chuluo had been before. At that time, he was only worried about Miaomiao's safety and didn't think much about his younger sister's relationship problems.
If Lin Chuluo always had feelings for Miaomiao, then his younger sister's married life would not be peaceful.
Maybe Xixi had discovered some clues about Lin Chuluo's infidelity and didn't dare to quarrel with him, so she had to transfer her anger to Miaomiao.
Although the behavior was despicable, it made sense.
Seeing Jiang Zhou with a cold face and her own eyes wet, Jiang Xixi said in a wronged voice, "Brother, I know I was wrong, but I really like Lin Chuluo. I had no other choice..."
The more Jiang Zhou listened, the more annoyed he became. He tightened his fists bit by bit. "If he treats you badly, brother will avenge you. Why can't you understand..."
He hated himself for not being able to make his younger sister happy.
After all, Jiang Xixi was his own younger sister.
Seeing that Jiang Zhou was softening up, Jiang Xixi was overjoyed. Her voice was still wronged. "I know, brother. I won't do it again..."
She carefully tested Jiang Zhou's mood, then raised her little hand and tugged at his clothes. "Brother, I was wrong. I definitely won't do this again in the future."
"Can you not tell Mom and Dad? If Mom and Dad know, they will surely beat me to death..."
Her voice became softer and softer until it was almost inaudible. "Moreover, Mom and Dad will definitely be very disappointed in me..."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhou couldn't help scolding, "You know that doing such a thing will disappoint Mom and Dad. What about Miaomiao?"
"Now Uncle and Aunt Ning are disappointed in Miaomiao. What should she do?"
Jiang Xixi lowered her head and said nothing.
Of course, she hoped that Ning Anmiao would fall deeper and deeper, preferably rotting away and never having a chance to turn things around!
After a moment of silence, Jiang Zhou sighed.
"No next time."
This meant that he wouldn't expose her in front of Mom and Dad.
Jiang Xixi finally let out a sigh of relief. A huge stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
---
The next morning.
Ning Anmiao woke up exhausted on the big bed. Her whole body felt like it was falling apart.
She opened her eyes tiredly. Every part of her body seemed to be protesting. She couldn't help frowning. She turned her head and saw Lu Yan sleeping soundly. Angry in her heart, she kicked him with her foot.
"Don't sleep anymore."
The man opened his eyes in response. Seeing the little girl glaring at him angrily, he couldn't help smiling softly. His voice was steady and still hoarse from just waking up. "Why are you throwing a tantrum so early in the morning?"
He reached out and pinched her cheek, pretending to be confused. "I didn't know you had a bad temper when you wake up."
Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Ning Anmiao was even more annoyed. She was about to kick him a few more times to vent her anger, but the man seemed to have predicted her movements. His strong legs instantly clamped hers, making her unable to move in the quilt.
Her smooth calves were in close contact with his skin. Lu Yan squinted his eyes and enjoyed the feeling. He couldn't help rubbing his legs against hers.
"What, not satisfied yet?"
