Chapter 93 Burning the Storybook

She looked away, said nothing else, and showed little reaction when she looked at the decorations in the house.

"Gone?"

Jiang Zimo couldn't help but call the woman to ask about the situation. Yaoyao's reaction didn't seem right.

"No, I'm a little tired. I'm going upstairs to rest for a while. Brothers, please call me after the birthday party starts."

Jiang Yaoyao had no interest in cats or storybooks; she just wanted some precious jewelry that she could show off.

She glanced at Jiang Shu's room with a complicated look, and couldn't help but complain in her heart: "Even if you say that you want me to see the true face of the scumbag, I won't thank you. As long as you don't leave the Jiang family, I will never feel at ease."

The footsteps moved away from the living room. Several people looked at each other, but Jiang Zimo couldn't help but contact the professional lady they had found.

"Red Rose, how did you finish today's work?"

"It was done very smoothly. That guy was so easy to hook, but he was a bit useless. It only took a few minutes to finish the job. He even wanted me to leave, but I had no choice but to sacrifice myself and play with him more."

"I don't want to hear your details. I want to know whether you finally recognized the girl carrying the cat as your employer."

"I said it, and then I left. I don't know what happened next!"

"Didn't the two of them quarrel when you left?"

"It seemed like they were going to have a quarrel, so I left after not staying long!"

"."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zimo felt relieved but also a little confused.

"It's better not to quarrel. Let's end this matter here."

Jiang Lingyan looked at the two kittens on the ground and frowned, "Send the cats back, and then call the third brother and the others back to celebrate Yaoyao's birthday."

Jiang Zimo felt uncomfortable, but he had no choice but to resign himself to his fate and left with the cat.

In the room upstairs.

Jiang Shu took out an old storybook from the drawer: "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales"

This was given to her by her second brother Jiang Zimo.

It was her fifth birthday present.

She remembered that when her second brother was telling the story of the little match girl, she cried and felt sorry for the lonely little girl.

The second brother solemnly promised that he would never let his sister feel lonely in the future. He would always be with her and tell her stories every night.

Unfortunately, it lasted less than three years. He gradually became abusive to her, always thinking that she would bully Jiang Yaoyao. He never believed her explanations, forced her into a small dark room, and held her hands and hit her with a ruler, forcing her to say sorry.

She was so afraid of the dark and pain that she could only apologize weakly.

Afterwards, she cried like crazy and said she was not wrong, but no one believed her, and then she really targeted Jiang Yaoyao.

As you can imagine, in the end, she received such looks from all her brothers, and even her father said she was unreasonable.

He started planning to escape from the Jiang family at a young age, but unfortunately he was found and beaten in the end.

At that time, my mother would just look at me and cry silently, and there was no one at home to support me.

There was no point in going crazy, and there was no point in showing weakness. Jiang Shu could only endure everything numbly.

When she first learned that she had a terminal illness, she was actually somewhat happy, as she could finally get rid of this depressing and painful life.

It was not until she bound to Er Sansan and had the opportunity to become stronger that she thought she would have a new life.

But deep down she still longs to be loved, and even expects her brothers to look back, hoping that her whole family will care about her.

Just like the last time when her fourth brother abandoned her and almost fed her to the alien species, if she hadn't met Gu Qingpei, she would have been reincarnated by now.

And her third brother tied her up and sent her to Lu Xiujie's bed. If she hadn't relied on Er Sansan to awaken and become a spiritualist, she would have been destroyed by now.

But even after going through all this, when her eldest brother took the initiative to show his kindness by giving her a cat, and her second brother blushed and gave her a storybook, she still couldn't help but accept it and was even very excited.

Jiang Shu felt disgusted with herself for being like that. Fortunately, the brothers did not disappoint her. The gifts they gave her were all things Jiang Yaoyao did not want. They deliberately tried to please her because they wanted her to take the blame and let Jiang Yaoyao vent her anger, so that they could punish themselves openly when they returned.

Jiang Shu just lacks love a little, but he is not stupid.

She calmly took the blame, and said with confidence that it was for her own good. Her elder and second brothers were afraid that Jiang Yaoyao would be unhappy so they let her bear it, but she didn't care.

"Jiang Yaoyao, I helped you identify the scumbag and saved your life. Why are you still angry with me? What reason do you have to blame me?"

Jiang Shu stood on the moral high ground and made Jiang Yaoyao feel ashamed.

Just a few words made Jiang Yaoyao thank her with a distorted face.

"pat"

The light from the lighter flickered in front of Jiang Shu's eyes. She picked up the storybook and began to burn it page by page.

"From now on, don't be soft-hearted anymore."

Jiang Shu warned himself in his heart.

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a knock on the door.

I don't know who's going to ring the doorbell, just wait.

Jiang Shu burned it slowly until it was all lit and thrown into the brazier before he got up to open the door.

"what's up?"

It was strange, he just knocked on the door without saying anything. With Jiang Zimo's temper, he would start banging on the door if he didn't open it within a minute.

"Are you okay?"

Jiang Zimo poked his head into the room, and in the thin smoke, he could see the cover of a storybook with his excellent eyesight. It was the cover of an old edition of "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales".

He almost thought Jiang Shu was going to commit suicide by burning charcoal. His heart was pounding when he knocked on the door, but the smell didn't seem right. He clearly hated this girl so much before, and even thought it didn't matter if she died, but now he actually cared about her.

Looking at the books that Jiang Shu had burned, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. When he came to his senses, the door was closed again, leaving only the words: "I don't want to eat plums."

"???"

Jiang Zimo was confused for a while before he came to his senses. Jiang Shu was talking about the TV commercial.

I actually joked with him, so I guess he's not angry.

Why hide in the room and burn books?
That's a fairy tale book, I think all little girls will like it.

I liked Yaoyao very much when she was a child, but unfortunately I don’t like her anymore when she grew up. It turns out that my sister was cuter when she was a child.

He ignored the discomfort in his heart and left, looking back every few steps.

Summer nights come late, and it is just getting dark around seven o'clock.

The birthday party downstairs had already begun. Sporadic laughter and joy could be heard in Jiang Shu's ears from time to time, and a feeling of loneliness followed him like a shadow.

"Dingling~"

Someone rings the doorbell.

After opening it, Li Chen was holding an orange cream cake with a candle with the words "18 years old" written on it. He looked at him with gentle eyes and whispered, "Happy birthday, my little boss."

"Thank you."

Jiang Shu took the cake and placed it carefully on the desk.

"Take you to a good place."

Just as she was about to cut the cake, she saw Li Chen's red ribbon floating out, holding her and flying out from the balcony. In a few breaths, they were brought to the roof.
