The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind-Chapter 69 - This Damned Life Still Targeted Me the

People would think that it was the Jiang family who harbored wild ambitions, coveting the Lu family’s property.

Mr. Jiang caught a glimpse of the iron-faced Lu Mother and tasted bitterness in his mouth, “Nannan, don’t talk nonsense. Do you still need to snatch after marrying into the Lu family…Ah!”

Mr. Jiang let out a yelp of pain as Mrs. Jiang pinched him on the waist, both shocked and angry, “What are you pinching me for?!”

Mrs. Jiang, seeing Lu Mother’s face dark as a pot, offered an apologetic smile, “My family’s member doesn’t know how to speak; we won’t be snatching the Lu family’s house…”

Only then did Mr. Jiang realize his slip of the tongue and clamped his mouth shut.

“Right, once I marry in, isn’t everything of the Lu family mine to decide? Why snatch? I’ll just give it to you directly. Whatever you want, I’ll give. By the way, when I have children later, I’ll have them carry the Jiang surname. We’ll strip the Lu family bare, how about that? Mom and Dad?”

Now Mrs. Jiang’s face turned pale as well.

Why add “us”? It made it sound like they were all accomplices, too able to court death!

Didn’t she see that Lu Mother’s face had turned green with rage?

As if ready to devour them alive?!

They were done for…Where was their oxygen tank?

“Hehe, if I don’t call off the engagement, I’ll empty the Lu family’s house to honor you. How could I be wrong? I’m just a country girl who doesn’t know etiquette.”

“Ha ha, Nanshu, do you like this villa?”

Suddenly, a hearty laugh sounded, and Jiang Nanshu looked up to see an old man with grizzled hair but dressed casually. His usually stern face was trying hard to display a gentle smile at the sight of Jiang Nanshu. If one had to describe the smile, it was like bright yellow chrysanthemums blooming.

Gentle yet eerie…

Mrs. Jiang quickly tugged at Jiang Nanshu’s hand and shook her head at her, afraid she might spout more preposterous words.

Jiang Nanshu glanced at Mrs. Jiang, then nodded in understanding.

Mrs. Jiang hadn’t even managed to calm her breath.

When she saw Jiang Nanshu fearlessly respond, “I do like it. Grandpa Lu, can you give me this villa? I really like it and want to move in tomorrow.”

Everyone: “…”

“Ah, that’s embarrassingly greedy, isn’t it a bit too much to ask for?”

You think?!

Asking for someone’s house just like that!

Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang wished they could faint on the spot.

“Outrageous wishful thinking! Is this how the Jiang family teaches their daughter? The upbringing is worrying; you simply know no fear!” Lu Mother was so angry that her chest heaved dramatically, like a broken drum fan huffing and puffing.

Jiang Nanshu knitted her brows, rebelliously stubborn and extremely reluctant, “Aunt Lu, I won’t allow you to say that my parents have taught me poorly. My parents always tell me to be sincere, and because I’m timid by nature, they encourage me, telling me to just ask for whatever I want. They raised me so well, and yet you dare to criticize them!”

[Hua Country’s annual ‘Top Ten Filial Children’ award is incomplete without me.]

Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang: “…”

Truly a “filial” power to reckon with.

She managed to offend everyone, whether they should be offended or not.

Lu Mother did not expect that Jiang Nanshu would dare to talk back to her. Just a year ago, she was a pitiful creature who dared not even squeak behind her mother.

She sneered coldly, “Still dreaming about moving into the Lu Family house? The reason I called you here is to discuss the annulment of your engagement with my son!”

Old Sir Lu’s face darkened, and Lu Qingyan’s expression remained cool, his dark eyes lightly falling on Jiang Nanshu.

Upon hearing of the breakup…

Jiang Nanshu pursed her lips tightly.

[Steady, steady, the single life is beckoning, stay calm, collected, don’t panic… and don’t burst out laughing.]

She took a soft breath, looking pitifully at the three people in front of her, wiping away fake tears, “I knew it, this damned life is still picking on me, a poor little thing. My heart hurts; without Brother Qingyan, even the sky is gray.”

She slightly tilted her face up, resembling to a tee the would-be abandoned heroine in angsty youth literature.

If one ignored the subtly rising corners of her mouth, Lu Qingyan might really have been deceived by this pretentious woman.

The warmth of Old Sir Lu’s smile was nearly unsustainable, and he cleared his throat, “Nanshu, if you want this villa, Grandpa will give it to you.”

Silence…

Utter silence…

Lu Mother had stopped breathing, looking incredulously at Old Sir Lu.

Even Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang saw shock in each other’s eyes.

What, has madness become contagious now? It’s not enough to drive their daughter crazy, but Old Sir Lu has to join in too?

Only Lu Qingyan had an impassive face, as if all this was within his expectations.

Jiang Nanshu: “???”

She really thought she was here to break off the engagement, not to inherit an estate.

[This is not going according to plan at all, shouldn’t they be sweeping us all out with a broom? I’ve made such audacious demands, and now I’m inheriting a villa?!]

Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang: “…” So you realize you’re making audacious demands, huh!

“Ah this…” Jiang Nanshu licked her lips, glancing around, “Are you really going to give me this luxurious villa worth a billion?”

Old Sir Lu nodded, “After you marry Xiao Yan, I will immediately transfer the house into your name. If you have children, the first must carry the Lu surname, and the second can carry the Jiang surname.”

Jiang Nanshu: “…”

There are way too many conditions.

[Alright, it’s not something I deserve.]

She hesitated then glanced at Lu Qingyan, her eyes drooping with feigned disappointment, “Never mind, I don’t want Brother Qingyan to be unhappy. I’ve always known he has someone he likes.”

Lu Mother couldn’t hold back anymore, “Dad, weren’t you calling this girl over to break off the engagement? Why are we talking about conditions now.”

Old Sir Lu ignored her and instead looked at his grandson, “Xiao Yan, what do you think?”

“I know I arranged this match for you and you’re unwilling. Three years ago, because I gave that Ms. Su 30 million, she took the money and left, and you almost had a falling-out with the family. You went looking for her, then what? In the end, you came back alone. If she truly liked you, why would she have accepted the money?”

At the mention of Su Ran, Lu Qingyan’s aloof demeanor finally showed a slight change of emotion, “Grandpa, can we not mention her, please?”

[Tsk tsk, definitely not. Bringing up the painful subject, his old flame Bai Yueguang, is not because he didn’t want to pursue her, but clearly, Su Ran didn’t give him a chance. It’s been three years, and you haven’t gone to look for Su Ran even once. Your ‘like’ is quite superficial indeed.]
