Chapter 11: Your Money Has Been Given To An Outsider

"I was going to give it to Yuexi tonight," Jiang Chengye said as he changed his clothes. "I had no choice but to give it to Jiang Xun first."

When Feng Nianzhen heard this, she realized that the supplementary card was originally meant for Jiang Yuexi.

In other words, Jiang Xun had stolen something from her daughter!

Unable to hold herself back anymore, she couldn't help but complain, "Damn it, Jiang Xun just came back, so why's she already demanding things from you? Besides, you promised it to Yuexi, so what are you going to give her now?"

"Enough!"Jiang Chengye interrupted her impatiently. "If you had prepared clothes for her before, she wouldn't have gotten an excuse to ask for my card!"

Feng Nianzhen was about to explain when he said, "Don't say that you don't know her size. Wouldn't you ask if you don't know? What's the use in complaining now?"

She froze at his words, and her face reddened from distress. "I want to be good to her too!" she choked out. "Before she entered the room, I wanted to treat her as if she were Yuexi. I was the one who made all the decorations in her room. I was afraid that she wouldn't be comfortable about me being her stepmother! I was being so careful, but look at what she said about me! Every word stabbed me in the heart. She even called me 'Ah Feng' and treated me like a servant. And now you're blaming me for not doing well!"

Feng Nianzhen lowered her head and started sobbing until Jiang Chengye's heart softened. "Alright, I won't blame you. I'll get Yuexi another card for her birthday."

Feng Nianzhen felt really uncomfortable at his words. This felt like her daughter was taking the leftovers from Jiang Xun. Jiang Yuexi had been the little princess of the Jiang family since she was young. When had she ever had to use someone else's leftovers? When had she ever been wronged like this?

But Feng Nianzhen couldn't say anything.

After all, she couldn't refuse that supplementary card.

While all this was going on, Jiang Xun made good use of her time alone in the bedroom to absorb knowledge.

Even though she had only added 4 Intelligence points, she had already made quite a leap in improvement. She could even brush through the exam questions extremely quickly.

A knock suddenly came from outside her door.

"Mistress Jiang, dinner is ready," Aunt Zhang said from outside Jiang Xun's door.

When she heard that, Jiang Xun put down the pen in her hand and went downstairs to the dining room. There was a boy sitting at the dining table along with her family members when she went down. He was quite good-looking, but the expression on his face looked like he was staring at trash.

Jiang Chengye briefly introduced, "This is your brother, Jiang Jixuan. Jixuan, this is your eldest sister, Jiang Xun. Sit down, and let's eat."

"Please sit down." By now, Feng Nianzhen had managed to compose herself as she showed her a gentle smile.

Jiang Chengye sat at the head of the dining table, while Feng Nianzhen sat on his left. Jiang Yuexi was sitting on Jiang Chengye's right, and Jiang Jixuan sitting on her right. There was one empty seat right at the edge of the table, which was clearly where Jiang Xin was supposed to sit.
