Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 292 - 30: The Disabled Tycoon’s Ex-Wife Refuses to Be a Scapegoat (30)
"President Jiang, won’t your actions affect the harmony in your family?"
It surely felt great when someone stepped up for her just now, but it wouldn’t be worth it if Jiang Lai’s career suffered because of it.
Jiang Lai simply smiled calmly.
"It’s not a big deal. Just focus on filming."
"Mm, thank you, President Jiang."
Bai Qiao was very worried that the drama she starred in wouldn’t make Jiang Lai any money. She even offered to act for free without a fee, but Jiang Lai insisted that she take what she deserved, even giving her more than she expected.
Because of this series of events, she was even more determined to perform well to repay Jiang Lai. As a result, she became more serious and dedicated in the following scenes, painstakingly honing her acting skills.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ruantian, who had returned home in anger, couldn’t hold back any longer. As soon as she got home, she started crying. Jiang’s mother was frightened and kept asking what was wrong, while Jiang Ruantian, holding back her tears, looked at her mother and choked.
"Mom, why doesn’t Sister like me?"
"Huh? What happened again?"
Jiang Ruantian told her mother what happened on the set, and Jiang’s mother’s face grew worse as she listened.
"Are you saying Jiang Lai specifically invested in a drama to support a young actress who was acting like a diva and irresponsible, and that Jiang Lai even removed your supporting role to cover for her?"
These words sounded absurd even to Jiang’s mother. If Jiang Lai really did this, it would be too much—slapping her own family in the face in front of outsiders. Even if Jiang Lai was usually spoiled, she shouldn’t have been so reckless.
Jiang Ruantian’s eyes were red, and she bit her lip.
"Dad has already given Jiang Media to Sister, right?"
"That matter... Ah, I already told your dad about it. I wanted to hand this company to you, especially since you’re now involved in the media industry. But your sister needs it for her work right now, so we had no choice but to let her manage the company for now.
Ah, I never imagined that girl wouldn’t protect her own family, siding with outsiders."
When Jiang Ruantian heard her mother’s words, she was so angry she was about to explode inside.
Jiang’s mother didn’t have a trace of guilt. Even though she verbally reprimanded Jiang Lai, she was essentially shielding Jiang Lai from the bottom of her heart!
Jiang Ruantian was about to lose her mind with rage.
Jiang Lai had everything, and she had nothing. Even Jiang Han in the past had whatever she wanted. The family treated her worse than they treated an outsider!
Jiang’s mother looked at Jiang Ruantian’s eyes and was shaken, almost unable to believe her own eyes, because she had just seen a hateful look in Jiang Ruantian’s eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice, as if she considered her a foe.
Her heart felt chilled.
She had long seen that this youngest daughter of hers wasn’t as innocent as she appeared, but she had just assumed it was because she had suffered hardship in her early childhood that she was so calculating.
But she hadn’t thought that despite being so good to her, plucking stars and moons from the sky to make up for her insufficient material conditions in childhood, she not only lacked gratitude but was obsessed with others having more than she did.
Would a child like this ever be satisfied?
Jiang’s mother silently found her answer, but her expression did not betray her thoughts. She merely sighed and patted Jiang Ruantian on the shoulder.
"So you came crying to me today because you feel bullied by your sister? Then, when she comes back, I’ll have her apologize to you, and I’ll have your father invest in a new drama for you so you can play the lead role. Will that do?"
Of course, Jiang Ruantian didn’t think it was enough.
Did she only want to be the lead in a drama?
She wanted to be like Jiang Lai—why should all the resources be monopolized by just one person?
"Mom, Sister grew up by your side and got too much, so I understand why she doesn’t cherish me as a sister. I’m sorry for being too sensitive. I’ve been afraid of being bullied since I was a child, and no one stood up for me back then. But now that I’m back with my biological parents, I’m sure that if I’m bullied, you’ll definitely be on my side..."
Whenever Jiang Ruantian brought up the hardships of the past, Jiang’s mother would feel so distressed she couldn’t sleep through the night, filled with guilt and remorse even in her dreams.
Because of this, she even went to visit Jiang Ruantian’s adoptive parents, intending to seek justice for her daughter. But upon seeing the poor yet honest family, Jiang’s mother couldn’t say a word.
The family of three—the kind and hardworking couple—would start setting up their stall at three in the morning, even though they were already suffering from numerous ailments. Yet, in the room where Jiang Ruantian used to live, they had installed an air conditioner, a princess bed, a desk, and the walls were filled with extracurricular books, showing how much they cherished their daughter.
They also had a son, who, due to poor grades, dropped out early to save money for his sister to study art. When Jiang’s mother saw him, he was wearing a delivery uniform and returning home with a smile, carrying food that customers didn’t want.
Having raised Jiang Ruantian for so many years and now having sent her back, they never asked the Jiang Family for anything.
Jiang’s mother only realized that all the money given by the Jiang Family had been transferred to Jiang Ruantian’s account.
All because Jiang Ruantian would cry to them over the phone, complaining that the Jiang Family treated her poorly.
Upon realizing all this, most of Jiang’s mother’s heart had already turned cold. Hastily leaving some consolation items behind, she left.
What she hadn’t expected was that in Jiang Ruantian’s eyes, there wasn’t anyone in this world who genuinely cared for her.
At that time, Jiang’s mother was still making excuses for her biological daughter, believing that Jiang Ruantian felt the Jiang Family was unkind because she hadn’t provided enough security.
But now it seemed that Jiang’s mother had figured it out—no matter what the Jiang Family did, this child would never show a hint of gratitude.
She dismissed the kindness of her adoptive parents. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
She always felt her biological parents were unfair.
She felt that everyone in the world owed her, and Jiang’s mother even suspected that even if she handed the entire Jiang Family over, Jiang Ruantian wouldn’t have any feelings for it.
This was her biological daughter.
Jiang’s mother shook her head and silently sighed.
"Your dad chose your sister as his heir, and she truly has a knack for business. Your dad even praised her for being more capable than he was at her age. The Jiang Family’s business is destined to be handed to your sister. But rest assured, even if you don’t have management rights over the company, your future will still be secure. Your dad will leave you company shares, ensuring you receive a substantial dividend each year, just like Han Han. You’re both good children of mine."
Jiang Ruantian’s eyes gradually widened, and her pupils contracted.
How could there be such biased parents in the world!
Both were their biological children, so why pour all the family’s resources into just one child?
Just because she didn’t grow up by their side?
Just because she hadn’t seen the world and could be easily satisfied with anything they gave her?
