Jiang Xianrou was also stunned by the sudden slap. She covered her face and did not recover for a long time.

“Dad!” Jiang Yao reacted more strongly than her. He shielded his sister behind him and could not hide his anger. He questioned the man, “Dad, what are you doing?!”

Jiang Zongnan was so angry that his face was ashen. He pointed at him and said, “You still have the cheek to ask me what I’m doing? Move aside! I’ll settle the score with her first before settling the score with you!”

Jiang Yao did not move aside. His 1.8-meter-tall body stood in front of him like a mountain. His handsome face darkened. “You can settle the score with me, but what did Xianrou do wrong for you to hit her?”

“Heh!” Seeing that he was unwilling to move aside, Jiang Zongnan sneered. “What did she do wrong? From the moment Nian Nian was admitted to Qing University, she couldn’t bear to see your sister doing well and targeted Nian Nian everywhere. Previously, when the family held a school promotion banquet for your sister, it was fine if she didn’t come as a member of the family, but she even spread the word in the circle to not let anyone else come. If not for Master Nie and your grandfather’s friends, do you know how embarrassing it would have been that day?”

Jiang Yao had never heard of the school promotion banquet. He instinctively turned around and frowned at Jiang Xianrou. His heart softened again when he saw Jiang Xianrou’s messy hair and slightly swollen cheek.

“…I believe Xianrou didn’t do it on purpose.” Jiang Yao didn’t even have the confidence to say this, and his eyes were weak as he looked away from his father.

Jiang Zongnan’s face darkened. He sneered again and continued, “Alright, she didn’t do this on purpose. Then, how will she explain the school anniversary later?

“She hasn’t apologized to Nian Nian in public about that matter! Do you think that by apologizing to Nian Nian in private, this matter will be as if it never happened?”

Jiang Xianrou had already recovered from the slap. Hearing her father’s words, she bit her lip in extreme humiliation.

The school anniversary again!

All of them refused to let go of the school anniversary. Did they want her to kneel and apologize to Qiao Nian?!

Jiang Yao also recalled that he had forced Jiang Xianrou to apologize at the sanatorium earlier. Although she did not apologize, it was more or less a little embarrassing in front of so many people. Now that his father mentioned the school anniversary, he couldn’t help but stand on Jiang Xianrou’s side and defend her. “…Dad, isn’t this matter already in the past? Let the past be the past. Why are you bringing it up?”

Seeing that he was going to protect Jiang Xianrou no matter what, Jiang Zongnan thought of his attitude towards Qiao Nian and felt an inexplicable chill. He suddenly understood why Old Master Jiang’s tone was so serious when he called him. With their attitude, it would be strange if the old man wasn’t disappointed!

He took a deep breath and lowered his hand. His expression was still extremely ugly. “Alright, I won’t mention the past to you. Then, what happened this time? Why did your grandfather call me and say that you siblings bullied Nian Nian again?”

When Jiang Zongnan mentioned this, it was as if a stick was hitting his head. His head hurt everywhere. “That’s your sister, not your enemy! How many times have I told you? The Jiang family owes Nian Nian’s mother a favor. You can have your current glory because of her. If you can’t repay her, at least don’t bully your sister. Why are you so disobedient?”

He took a deep breath and his face turned cold again. His eyes were fierce and serious. “If you don’t want to listen, get out. I’ll pretend I didn’t give birth to you. Don’t say that you’re from the Jiang family in the future!”

Those words were extraordinarily harsh.
