Jiang Zhiyi sobbed for a long time before finally speaking, "Dad, am I not good enough, so I was not personally taught by grandpa when I was born?"

Her eyes were full of reluctance and grievance. She had also heard most of what Jiang Yan said just now. She used to think that only boys in the family could be raised by their grandfathers, but it turns out...it turns out that girls can also be raised by their grandfathers.

The sister whom she had never met but who always lived in their hearts was raised by their grandfather, who was even stricter with her than with her brother.

But what about her?

Although her grandfather was gentle to her, he never cared about her studies and never taught her personally.

It's not her fault that she fights. Grandpa is the most authoritative person in the family. Being personally educated by grandpa shows that she is valued by grandpa.

And what about her?

Is she not valued by her grandfather?

Although she was born in a wealthy family, she has never felt any pressure since she was a child. Just like an ordinary person, she went to school when she was old enough. Even if her grades were not good, her family would pay for everything.

Her growth experience is obviously different from that of her brothers.

She smiled bitterly in her heart, for she had always thought that she was the apple of her family's eye. But it turned out that this apple was nothing in her grandfather's eyes.

Seeing his daughter crying like this, Jiang Yan hurriedly comforted her, "Zhizhi, don't be sad. After all, everyone's life experiences are different. We must learn to recognize ourselves..."

His voice got lower and lower as he spoke, and Murong Yin glanced at him, eyes full of warning.

Jiang Yan then stopped talking, thinking, he was not wrong!

Although he felt sorry for his daughter's tears, if a person couldn't even recognize himself, wouldn't he be living in confusion?

He was just feeling depressed when he heard Murong Yin say, "Zhizhi, don't listen to your dad's nonsense! That's not true. Our Zhizhi is the smartest."

Jiang Zhiyi looked at her with red eyes, "Then why has grandpa never cared about my studies?"

Murong Yin thought for a moment and said, "That's because your grandfather was too strict. We didn't want you to suffer, so we specifically asked him to put you in our care and raise you."

When Jiang Yan heard this, he looked at Murong Yin in disbelief. Why didn't he notice before that his wife was lying so easily?

What else... don't you want to suffer?

How is this possible?

The old man is overbearing and powerful in the family. Unless he himself thinks Zhizhi is not capable, no matter what you say, he will never leave such a good seedling alone.

His wife's words were unbelievable.

But just as he was about to expose it, he met Murong Yin's gaze and took back the words.

Forget it, as long as they are happy, let them be.

Jiang Zhiyi's eyes were full of uncertainty, "Is it true?"

Murong Yin nodded affirmatively, "Of course it's true, would mom lie to you?"

As he spoke, he gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Jiang Zhiyi still didn't believe it. Her eyes fell on Jiang Yan, waiting for his answer.

Feeling his daughter's gaze, Jiang Yan stood up unnaturally. When he was hesitating about how to speak, Murong Yin looked at him warningly, "Speak properly."

Jiang Yan didn't have to think about it now. How else could he answer this? Murong Yin had already paved the way for him, so how could he not walk on it?

He cleared his throat and said seriously, "Your mother is right, that's what happened."

After saying this, Jiang Yan felt very uncomfortable. Although he was usually not very reasonable, he rarely said such things that went against his conscience.

In his opinion, it doesn’t matter whether you are smart or not, or whether you are valued or not. What matters is to know yourself and live a authentic and happy life.

After all, even ten fingers stretched out have different lengths, so why should you look down on yourself because of other people's opinions?

As long as you can live your truest self, that's enough.

But in Murong Yin's view, such thoughts of his were self-degradation. Whenever they brought this up during an argument, Murong Yin would say that it was because of his laissez-faire nature that the old man did not let him inherit the Jiang family, but skipped him and supported his grandson.

Seeing Jiang Yan agreeing with her words, Murong Yin retracted her gaze and patted Jiang Zhiyi's back to comfort her.

Although Jiang Yan felt uncomfortable, she was his daughter after all. He couldn't bear to see her crying like this, so he hurried over and followed Murong Yin to coax his daughter.

As for Lu Nanfeng, after arriving at Jiang's in the morning, Jiang Hengzhi took her to her office.

The office was very big and was right next to Jiang Hengzhi. Lu Nanfeng didn't think much of it until she went to the bathroom and heard people talking about how the office assigned to her was originally on the 25th floor of Zone B, but somehow Jiang Hengzhi suddenly changed it and assigned her directly next door.

The furniture and equipment in the office were purchased in the past two days, and he selected them personally.

They all discussed the relationship between Jiang Hengzhi and Lu Nanfeng, and some even joked that Jiang Hengzhi's thousand-year-old iceberg might be about to melt, saying that she was the boss lady of Jiang Group or something like that.

After hearing these words, the light in Lu Nanfeng's eyes dimmed. Did he discover it?

Since she saw him in the morning, she had sensed something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it at the time. It was not until this moment that she was finally certain that Jiang Hengzhi probably knew something.

My memory goes back to my childhood, the Jiang family villa.

Because she made a mistake, she was locked up in a small dark room. Jiang Hengzhi came secretly to bring her food. They were separated by a small iron window, and she asked Jiang Hengzhi what she wanted to do in the future.

Jiang Hengzhi smiled and said: Grandpa said that I have to study hard so that I can become a qualified heir to the Jiang family in the future.

She hesitated, then asked: What about you? What do you want to do?

Jiang Hengzhi was silent for a while before speaking: I don’t know either. It seems that apart from being an heir, I don’t know what I want, nor do I know what the meaning of my efforts is.

Jiang Nanfeng said "Oh", Jiang Hengzhi leaned against the window, looking at her with bright eyes: What about you? What do you want to do in the future?

The Jiangnan wind smiles brightly: The sky is high and the sea is vast, allowing birds to fly freely. I don’t want to be confined to a small world, I want to be a free person.

Jiang Hengzhi saw her laughing and laughed too. The two children were tired of laughing, so Jiang Hengzhi leaned against the wall. Jiang Nanfeng said: Actually, I know that this wish is impossible to come true. How can the children of the Jiang family live as freely as birds fly in the vast sea and sky?

Jiang Hengzhi listened to her words and said firmly: Then I will work harder and become the heir of the Jiang family as soon as possible. Once I take control of the Jiang family, you will be free.

Jiang Nanfeng looked back at him and said with a smile: What if grandpa is determined not to let me go, and I also join the Jiang family?

Jiang Hengzhi's eyes were firm: Then I will prepare an office for you myself and arrange it next to me. No matter who bullies you, I will protect you!

Finally, he added: Even if it's grandpa, it won't work.

As his memory came back to him, Lu Nanfeng walked towards the office, opened the door and looked at the layout inside. He didn't think anything of it just now, but now he felt inexplicably familiar with it, especially the pot of Clivia in the corner.

That was clearly the flower she liked when she was a child.

Her eyes fell on the secret door. She approached it and pushed it open. Inside was a bedroom with a bed, wardrobe, and furniture. Everything you need...

At this moment, Lu Nanfeng couldn't help but wonder, could it be that... he really knew something?

Just as she was thinking about it, Jiang Hengzhi's voice sounded behind her, "What are you looking at?"
