"Who knows where the old master picked you up from, you illegitimate wild child! Originally, if you could stay honestly, I wouldn't mind an extra pair of chopsticks. But now it seems, Jiang Zien, you should leave the Jiang family now. Having raised you for so many years, I think I've done my part."

After all, Wang Lan did what she always wanted to do but didn't dare to for so many years, and that was to send away Jiang Zien!

"Mom..."

"Don't call me mom, I'm not your mom at all." Wang Lan looked at Jiang Zien with disgust. Don't think she doesn't know Jiang family members are all fickle and ungrateful. Would they support her in raising an orphan?

This child is clearly the illegitimate child of Jiang Bei's dalliance with somebody else. Why else would the old master not let her send the child away after his death?

How could an illegitimate child be her daughter?

Jiang Zien’s entire being started to tremble uncontrollably, with her teary eyes becoming blurred.

In the absence of Jiang Bei in Hangzhou, she acted without any hesitation.

"Now, you can leave. An illegitimate child, dares to hit my daughter!" she finally found an excuse to not see Jiang Zien anymore.

Jiang Man's eyes were full of joy. Jiang Zien was finally driven away, leaving her as the only daughter of the Jiang family! From now on, she would be the only one in her dad's eyes!

Jiang Zien finally understood why her mom never held her, why no matter what she did to win her mom's favor, it was never enough compared to Jiang Man's single act of coquetry.

She finally knew why her grandpa took care of her when she was a child, and why her family has been so indifferent to her since her grandpa's death.

It turns out, she is not a child of the Jiang family!

As she turned around, she left Jiang family as if all her energy was drained in an instant.

She unconsciously touched the business card in her pocket, and made up her mind.

Three months later.

When Jiang Zi En was sitting in the Zhan family's living room, she felt more uneasy than ever.

"Young lady, are you here to find our stinking brat?" A vigorous voice came from not far away. Jiang Zi En looked towards the source of the sound and saw a spirited old man.

She paused, then nodded her head.

The 'stinking brat' must be referring to Zhan Ting Chen, right?

On hearing her response, Master Zhan laughed. He had thought that his cheeky grandson lacked the emotional chord, but to his surprise, he was charming enough to attract women to their doorstep.

"What are you here for?"

Jiang Zi En was about to state her intention when a voice from behind frightened her.

Just like brewing a storm, Zhan Ting Chen was looking at this woman with a grouchy and unhappy expression.

He never expected that such a pure and clean-looking woman would go out of her way to visit his house.

Indeed, all women are of the same kind.

Jiang Zi En quickly stood up and said, "I came to find you."

"Mm, I don't know if I could get the check back, the one you tore last time..." She considered herself as a petitioner for money, so naturally, she must adopt a respectful attitude.

But her behavior was just absurd in Zhan Ting Chen's eyes. He clearly remembered the disdainful expression of Jiang Zi En when she tore the check into pieces.

Now she came to his house asking for money?

"You think I'm a bus stop where you can buy a ticket whenever you like?" He scoffered.

Even if Jiang Zi'en was obtuse, she could sense his hostility.

Especially the disdain in his eyes was too obvious.

Feeling embarrassed, she touched her earlobe and said in a faltering voice, "Just lend me the money and I will leave. You won't see me again! I will wire the money back to your bank account directly."

If not for her financial hardship, she would never resort to this humiliating method.

"Hey, boy, aren't you going to introduce us? This young lady is your..." The old man interjected, his insinuating gaze shuttling back and forth between the two.

Jiang Zi'en, inexplicably wishing to clarify the relationship, blurted out, "I'm just here to borrow money. Nothing else!"

"Who said I'd lend it to you?" Zhan Tingchen swiftly stood in front of her, delivering an intimidating aura. Jiang Zi'en shrunk back.

"Come with me!" Zhan Tingchen, with a stern face, grabbed her arm, and walked her outside.

Out in the hallway, he let go of her, crossed his arms and looked Jiang Zi'en up and down, his voice filled with sarcasm, "What's your real reason!"

"To borrow money!"

"I need to borrow a hundred thousand. I will pay you back."

"As compensation for compromising myself and the mental damage from the car accident." She added.

"Ah, retreating in order to advance? So, you can come back under the guise of repaying the debt?" Zhan Tingchen hated it most when women played tricks.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zi'en felt her anger surge. Coupled with her endless running around these past few days without regular meals, she suddenly blacked out and fainted.
