"Miss Jiang, do you have any questions?" Assistant Li asked when he saw that she didn't write for a while.

"No, Xiaoyan is fine." Jiang Wei also stared at her. When he heard Assistant Li speak, he frowned and whispered to Jiang Yan, "Jiang Yan, what are you thinking about? It is your blessing to be able to establish a relationship with the Lu family. Don't be ungrateful."

Jiang Yan paused, turned her eyes to look at him, sneered silently, and raised her eyes after a moment, and asked softly, "Is this contract... Mr. Lu's idea or Assistant Li's?"

Lu Jin was stunned for a moment and wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Assistant Li. He still kept his fake smile and said politely, "It was Xiao Jin's idea, my idea, and the Lu family's idea."

Jiang Yan pinched her fingers and turned to look at Lu Jin. There was a hint of disappointment in her eyes. She didn't express it too strongly, but it was enough for Lu Jin to see.

"I have no problem with everything else, but regarding the work... I can't agree to it." After thinking for a moment, she spoke again.

Assistant Li frowned. He had already found out everything about Jiang Yan before coming. She was just the Jiang family's adopted daughter who had not yet been registered. Logically speaking, she was still an orphan. For someone like her, her ideals were not worth mentioning.

Moreover, working in a mental hospital will more or less have some negative impact on the Lu family. If any mental patient is released from the hospital to seek revenge in the future, the Lu family may not be able to bear the consequences.

"Ms. Jiang, working in a mental hospital is not the best choice." Assistant Li tried to persuade her, "We can arrange a decent job for you at Lu's."

"But... helping them return to normal is my dream." Jiang Yan lowered his head, as if blaming himself or feeling distressed.

Assistant Li stared at her, unable to empathize with her. He only knew that her work would affect Lu's.

"Then... Miss Jiang, please think about it first." After a moment, Assistant Li spoke again and reached out to take back the contract.

However, Jiang Wei stopped him just as he reached the middle of the table. He looked anxious, as if he was disappointed with Jiang Yan. "Assistant Li, Xiaoyan was confused for a moment. She agreed. She agreed."

As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Yan again and lowered his voice, "What are you thinking about? It is your honor to be able to date the young master of the Lu family. What a bullshit dream, it is not worth mentioning. Flying up the tree and becoming a phoenix, this is the ideal you should have!"

As he said this, he held Jiang Yan's hand and forced her to put her fingerprint on it.

Jiang Yan glanced at him coldly, pretending to be pitiful, with redness at the corners of her eyes and a few tears on her eyelashes. She signed the contract reluctantly.

Lu Jin felt a little uncomfortable when he saw her like this, but in front of Assistant Li, his words still carried less weight.

The contract was finalized, and Jiang Wei didn't argue with her about what happened in the box. He felt much more relaxed, "Xiao Yan, come home with me for dinner."

Jiang Yan paused as she opened the door, a cunning look flashed across her eyes, and she replied, "Okay, uncle."

"You're back, how come..." Auntie came over anxiously when she saw him coming back. She was halfway through her words when she noticed Jiang Yan next to him, and her voice suddenly stopped, "Why is she here?!"

With anger, she glared at Jiang Yan almost subconsciously.

Jiang Yan glanced at her lightly, her eyes mocking, but her voice was completely different. She said obediently, "Aunt."

She didn't look like the woman who challenged her that day at all. Jiang Qing was stunned for two seconds, then looked away in disgust.

"Qing'er, Xiaoyan is my sister's adopted child after all. I brought her back for a meal." Jiang Wei didn't notice the weirdness between the two. He just thought it was the first time they met, so he was inevitably arrogant and domineering.

"Heh." Jiang Qing glanced at her coldly, then turned and walked into the house angrily.

The meal had been prepared in the kitchen, and it was extremely sumptuous. Jiang Yan sat next to Jiang Wei, while Jiang Qing sat opposite Jiang Wei.

"Xiaoyan, eat more and treat this place as your own home." Jiang Wei was in a good mood and shouted.

"My family doesn't have the ability to support a Buddha like her." Jiang Qing interrupted Jiang Wei without giving him any face.

"Jiang Qing." Jiang Wei frowned. It was rare for him to get angry with Jiang Qing. She was obviously not like this usually. She was even very tolerant of his problems in that aspect.

Hearing his scolding, Jiang Qing instantly became unhappy. She slammed the chopsticks in her hand onto the table, "Jiang Wei, what do you mean?!"

Jiang Wei was naturally unhappy after being slapped in the face, "Jiang Qing, stop it."

Jiang Yan sat next to the two of them and was not affected too much. He glanced at the battle situation from time to time and spent the rest of the time eating seriously.

"Stop eating!" Jiang Qing suddenly noticed her for some reason and threw the plate in front of him towards Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan was startled and moved back hastily. The two plates of food smashed together and turned into a paste in an instant.

"Uncle, I'd better go back." She then put down the chopsticks in her hand, took two steps back, tears in her eyes and aggrieved tone.

Jiang Wei frowned even more. He grabbed the coat behind him and picked up his phone. "I'll take you there."

"Jiang Wei, you dare!" Jiang Qing immediately opened his mouth and roared.

Jiang Yan shrank her neck, looking as if she was terribly frightened. She grabbed the hem of her skirt and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I made you and aunt..."

"It's none of your business." Jiang Wei interrupted, ignoring Jiang Qing's roar, and pulled Jiang Yan outside.

Jiang Yan curled her lips and turned to look at Jiang Qing.

"Uncle, you'd better not see me off. My aunt seems very angry." After going out, Jiang Yan looked inside the door uneasily and spoke again.

"Don't worry about her." Jiang Wei was upset. He waited for the driver to drive over, went around to let the driver get off, and then got on himself.

"Uncle, aunt is still sick. Will this happen..." Jiang Yan opened the windows and thought for a long time.

"Sick?" Jiang Wei frowned and interrupted her.

"Yeah." Jiang Yan nodded, and saw him stunned for a moment, "Uncle doesn't know yet?"

"The last time I went to the hospital, I saw my aunt getting a checkup alone."

Jiang Wei stepped on the brakes and turned to look at her, "What subject did you fail?"

“…Obstetrics and Gynecology.” Jiang Yan’s eyelashes trembled, as if she was frightened, and her face turned pale.

Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, his expression changed slightly, and he looked a little more flustered. After a while, he turned around and said, "Xiao Yan, the bus stop is right in front of you. You can take a taxi back by yourself."

"Okay." Jiang Yan nodded and got out of the car obediently.

Watching the car leaving, Jiang Yan's eyebrows moved slightly and she let out a breath.

"Yan Yan, what are you doing?" 007 was a little confused. Isn't this helping Jiang Qing?

"Warn my aunt and don't let her go too crazy." Jiang Yan pulled her bag and reached out to stop a taxi.

"Warning?" 007 didn't quite understand.

"You'll understand when you grow up." Jiang Yan closed her eyes and leaned back.

Finally I have some free time.

It was already ten o'clock when I arrived at the apartment building. It was pitch black all around, and the intersection without street lights was particularly creepy.

“Beep…”

A strange sound suddenly came from the bushes. Jiang Yan stopped and turned to look.

"Well…"

A dark shadow jumped out of the darkness, grabbed her waist and led her into the flowers.
