Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom-Chapter 280: Not as Hoped

"Don’t you want to find your family? Don’t you want to meet your blood relatives?"

Jiang Ran looked at Jiang Zhi with interest, "Did you come alone?"

"Yes."

Jiang Zhi frowned slightly, seemingly not understanding why Jiang Ran suddenly asked this.

"Can you tell me about your family’s situation?"

Upon hearing Jiang Ran’s question, Jiang Zhi’s expression improved slightly.

"My wife passed away years ago, and I have two sons and a daughter."

At this point, Jiang Zhi glanced at Jiang Ran, paused for a moment, then continued, "My eldest son is named Jiang Zhongguo. He has two daughters and a son. The eldest daughter went missing when she was a few years old."

Hearing this, Jiang Ran understood.

If she really was part of the Jiang Family, then this Jiang Zhongguo should be her father.

"May I ask if your eldest son and his wife are aware of this matter?"

"Yes, they know."

"What is their attitude?"

This time, Jiang Zhi did not answer immediately but looked steadily at Jiang Ran.

At this point, it was clear what Jiang Ran meant.

Although he hesitated for a while, Jiang Zhi spoke up, "Regardless of their attitude, if you are a child of the Jiang Family, you must return to the Jiang Family. The Jiang Family’s bloodline cannot be left outside."

Jiang Ran, "..."

If it weren’t truly inappropriate, Jiang Ran really wanted to ask if there was a throne waiting to be inherited in the Jiang Family?

And the Jiang Family’s bloodline cannot be left outside.

If it really is left outside, then what?

Although Jiang Ran didn’t say it, the unintentional sneer that appeared on her lips was seen by Jiang Zhi.

Though he had known Jiang Ran’s attitude from the start, and meeting her and these exchanges confirmed it further,

when he saw Jiang Ran’s scornful smile, Jiang Zhi was still somewhat displeased.

"In life, fallen leaves return to their roots; one must acknowledge their ancestors. How can you have such an attitude?"

Initially, when seeing Jiang Zhi, Jiang Ran’s impression of him was not bad.

But that positive impression lasted only just now.

After hearing Jiang Zhi’s words, Jiang Ran’s impression of him had plummeted to the bottom.

Jiang Ran looked over coldly, "Feelings between people are always mutual. Even among family members, emotions are reciprocal. If I really am a child of the Jiang Family, whether I went missing accidentally or was kidnapped by traffickers, I was young then, so the responsibility does not rest with me."

"After I went missing, what did your family do? Did they ever think about finding me?"

"If you truly cared, upon hearing news about me, you would probably have come to find me immediately, right?"

"But from the time you suspected I was your granddaughter until now, it’s been roughly a month. You only appeared now, and your eldest son and his wife haven’t shown up at all."

"Don’t tell me they’re busy. I’ve already used that excuse. No one is that busy; they simply don’t care, because if they truly didn’t care, seeing me wouldn’t matter — that’s why they say they’re busy."

Jiang Ran finished saying all of this in one breath, which finally made her somewhat stifled chest feel less suffocated than before.

Jiang Ran knew that the emotions weren’t entirely her own, but also belonged to the original person.

The original person had been separated from family for so many years and definitely had expectations for them.

Sadly, those expectations couldn’t be met.
