After being abandoned by my parents, I became a top boss

The living room fell into a brief silence. After a while, Murong Yin smiled and said, "Ah Heng, Zhizhi... after all, she is a girl, so we naturally have to protect her more..."

After these words came out, Jiang Hengzhi's expression turned cold, "Girl?"

He looked at Murong Yin, his eyes full of scrutiny and accusation.

Xiaofeng was also a girl back then, but did Murong Yin ever protect her?

Not only did she never protect him, but as a brother, he even asked his sister to protect him in return.

Although he didn't like the way the Jiang family used Zhizhi to make up for their guilt towards Xiaofeng over the years, what qualifications did he have to blame them?

Back then, he didn't have the courage to stand up and protect Xiaofeng even once, right?

In a sense, there is no difference between him and the old man, and his parents; they are all the indirect murderers of Xiaofeng.

Whenever he thought of this, he would fall into deep self-blame.

He had thought about it more than once: if he had been braver and stood in front of Xiaofeng, and he was the one sinking into the sea, would everything be different?

Murong Yin felt a little scared when Jiang Hengzhi looked at her, and her expression was a little unnatural. Jiang Hengzhi withdrew his gaze and stopped asking questions. He picked up the teacup beside him and shook it gently, "Don't go to the Shen family, it's not appropriate."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan became anxious. He no longer cared about the oppressive feeling his son had, and asked directly: "Why is it inappropriate? The Jiang and Shen families are originally relatives. Now that Shen Yunzhou has done such a thing, I can't even go to his house to ask about it?"

"What did he do?" Jiang Hengzhi asked back, his eyes cold, "Isn't it just that he got a girlfriend? What's the big deal?"

"Zhizhi is not engaged to Shen Yunzhou yet. It's his freedom to do what he wants and date whoever he wants. If you guys go to his house and make trouble like this, won't it make our Jiang family look petty?"

After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on Jiang Zhiyi again, "Zhizhi, I don't care what your relationship with Shen Yunzhou is, but I must tell you that this marriage contract was not originally yours. If it weren't for Tusheng's accident, you and Shen Yunzhou would never have been possible."

Jiang Zhiyi's body stiffened. Was her brother reminding her that she had taken someone else's place and occupied someone else's marriage?

Her hands under the table tightened secretly. She knew that she had a sister who had passed away, and she also knew that if this sister was still alive, it should be her who fulfilled the marriage contract with the Shen family.

Keren is no longer with us. As the daughter of the Jiang family, she should have had all this.

Why does my brother say that?

She bit her lip, feeling extremely aggrieved. Jiang Hengzhi only glanced at her indifferently and continued, "Don't be unsatisfied with some things, and don't take advantage of your family's love for you and act recklessly. I hope you will think carefully about what you should and shouldn't do."

"As for the matter between you and Shen Yunzhou, you are only in your third year of high school. It is the time when you should work hard on your studies. It is not good to think about love affairs every day. I believe that even if Grandpa knew about it, he would not approve of it."

Jiang Zhiyi lowered her eyes, her lips turned white from biting her teeth. It turned out that her brother didn't like her.

Jiang Hengzhi saw all of this, but didn't care. He stood up with his briefcase, and when he walked to Jiang Yan's side, he paused, "I didn't know before that you had such a harsh and stern side. It really makes me look at you in a new light."

He lowered his voice very low, but it was still loud enough for the other two people in the living room to hear clearly.

Jiang Yan and Murong Yin realized what Jiang Hengzhi meant almost at the same time, and their faces darkened at the same time. Jiang Hengzhi said, "Sometimes I don't understand why we are both daughters, but we are treated so differently."

Jiang Yan said nothing. Murong Yin wanted to speak, but when her eyes met the cold light in Jiang Hengzhi's eyes, she swallowed it back.

She now felt that her son was becoming more and more unfamiliar.

We are blood relatives, but we always act like enemies.

Xiaofeng is no longer with us. Do I have to struggle in self-blame and pain every day for someone who is no longer with us?

They always have to look forward, what's wrong with that?

Besides, it’s not like they don’t love Xiaofeng?

They were also very sad when Xiaofeng left.

Murong Yin had a gloomy face and didn't look happy. Jiang Yan frowned and said nothing.

They were all holding their breath, but no one dared to express it, because they had no real status in this family.

I guess no one would believe this if I said it out loud, but it is the truth.

I am afraid of my son. Jiang Yan sneered in his heart. It is unprecedented for a father to treat him like this, right?

Jiang Zhiyi probably understood the meaning of Jiang Hengzhi's words, but since her parents didn't say anything, what right did she have to speak?

Besides, she was also afraid of Jiang Hengzhi.

To put it bluntly, apart from Grandpa Jiang, the person with the most say in this family is this elder brother.

The living room was silent. Jiang Hengzhi glanced at everyone's faces and walked away nonchalantly.

When Aunt Zhang came out, she bumped into Jiang Hengzhi. Seeing that he looked unhappy, she still boldly asked, "Master, you are back? Do you need dinner prepared for you?"

It’s no wonder that Aunt Zhang asked this. After Jiang Hengzhi started working, he bought a two-bedroom apartment outside and rarely came back to live there, let alone eat out.

Aunt Zhang was quite surprised to see him here this time. After careful calculation, it had been two months since she last saw him.

Jiang Hengzhi said in a deep voice: "No need, I came back to get something and will leave soon."

Aunt Zhang nodded quickly, "Okay, Master."

Not a single extra word.

She didn't dare ask.

If you want to work in the Jiang family for a long time, the first rule you must remember is: never provoke Jiang Hengzhi.

He is the most special person in this family. It can be said that everyone in this family, including Grandpa Jiang, is friendly, except Jiang Hengzhi, who is serious and the most strict.

If anyone is smart enough to try to get close to Jiang Hengzhi, he will only think that this person talks too much and is not worth keeping. If he keeps silent and maintains a proper distance, he can live a peaceful life.

Aunt Zhang lowered her eyes until Jiang Hengzhi walked away, then she looked up at his back and let out a long sigh.

Jiang Hengzhi carried his briefcase to the easternmost room on the second floor, pushed open the door, and looked at the simple decoration inside. His expression finally softened.

At this moment, he is like a person who has taken off his disguise and is truly emotional and warm.

He casually put the briefcase on the ground, fearing that the dust on the briefcase would dirty the room, even though it was a room that could not be simpler.

He walked in, and his hand gently stroked the furniture, wardrobe, desk, mattress... He seemed to be looking for the last bit of the scent of the room's owner in this way.

This is the room she used to live in.

He stroked the mattress with his slender fingers, and then carefully sat on the edge of the bed. At this moment, his body and mind felt unprecedented relaxation.

Only here can he be his true self. Even though she is no longer here, as long as he can feel a little bit of her remaining breath, a little bit of her former existence, he will feel content.

He sat in the room for a long time, with a lot of things in his mind that he wanted to say, but he didn't know where to start.

Finally, he could only smile bitterly: "Xiaofeng, you see, it's time for me to practice my ability to express myself. I obviously have a lot of things to say to you, but when I open my mouth, I don't know which one to say first."
