The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind

Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Don’t Panic when Trouble Arises, Start by Passing the Buck Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Don’t Panic when Trouble Arises, Start by Passing the Buck Jiang Nanshu smiled gently amidst the angry gaze of the youth.

The smile made the red tear mole under the corner of her left eye even more vivid, adding a bright, rose-like radiance to her appearance.

She pointed directly at Jiang Leyi and said to the youth in a gentle tone, “I’m not looking for you, I’m looking for her.”

It would have been better if Jiang Nanshu had kept quiet, but her words made the young boy break into tears.

As if Jiang Nanshu were some unforgivable villain.

But she had no interest in appeasing a child, even if this was Ji Ze, her foster brother with whom she had lived day and night for eleven years.

He was fifteen this year, attended Mingde Middle School, and was currently a freshman.

Jiang Leyi’s eyebrows furrowed, and she sneered, “Every time you come, it’s never for anything good. What now? Do you want to spread rumors again, like you did when Xiaoze was in middle school, claiming your foster parents treated you poorly and abused you? Do you know how much emotional damage Xiaoze suffered from being isolated and coldly treated by his classmates because of that? Even if you want to sever ties with your past self, how can you hurt a child like this? Don’t you have a conscience?”

Ji Ze was already tearing up, his eyes red.

He stared intently at Jiang Nanshu, as if trying to find his former sister through her now glamorous appearance.

[I don’t have anything as nice as a conscience, you’re giving me too much credit.]

Jiang Leyi paused for a moment, realizing she was hearing Jiang Nanshu’s inner voice, and was about to explode in anger when she saw Jiang Nanshu grab a handful of candied chestnuts from her hand and put them in Ji Ze’s hand in a fierce gesture, “I hate it when kids cry. Don’t cry, or I’ll beat you until you shut up.”
