Chapter 984: Self-Awareness
There was a brief silence at the stairway entrance. Jiang Jingheng looked up at Jiang Zhenghong, a hint of surprise flickering in his light brown eyes, very quickly.Knowing what he might be thinking, Jiang Zhenghong said angrily, "Why are you looking at me like that? If your wife gets bullied by someone and you swallow your anger, it just proves that you’re a coward."
Jiang Jingheng thought that in all these years, this was the most agreeable thing his father had ever said.
"But whatever you do, you still have to consider the bigger picture. Offending the Guan Family won’t do you any good," Jiang Zhenghong lectured.
Jiang Jingheng gave no response, remaining silent,
Seeing his attitude, Jiang Zhenghong got angry, "What’s with that attitude? Do you think I’m trying to harm you?"
"No," Jiang Jingheng said calmly. From his cold expression, those two words clearly felt insincere.
This response made Jiang Zhenghong even angrier than no response at all, making him want to kick him.
Remembering his old comrade’s instructions, he said, "Nuannuan’s dad said to take good care of her. Don’t bully her, or I’ll teach you a lesson."
Jiang Jingheng lifted his gaze to Jiang Zhenghong and asked, "Zhuang Shaoyang?"
Jiang Zhenghong was momentarily stunned but then scolded, "What Zhuang Shaoyang? That’s your father-in-law, show some respect."
Jiang Jingheng glanced at him and said with an implied meaning, "No wonder you two became good friends."
Jiang Zhenghong sensed the underlying message and replied displeased, "If you have something to say, say it straight. Stop beating around the bush."
"I just think that men who try to enjoy the best of both worlds are disgraceful."
Jiang Zhenghong was about to say something when suddenly he realized the implication and said coldly, "What, are you scolding your dad now?"
"I’m talking about those unfaithful and heartless types like Zhuang Shaoyang."
Jiang Zhenghong felt like his heart, liver, and lungs were going to explode from anger. This brat just won’t rest until he’s driven him crazy.
"You know nothing and you talk nonsense. You don’t understand adult matters, nor do you need to. Just don’t cause trouble every day."
Jiang Jingheng gave him a deep look and asked, "Are you guys really close?"
"Brothers who have been through life and death together, what do you think?" Jiang Zhenghong glared at his son.
Afraid he’d say more to aggravate him, he said impatiently, "Alright, get going. Stop blocking my view."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingheng directly walked away.
Jiang Zhenghong, "..."
He told him to leave, and he really left without a word?
If he were always this obedient, it would be great.
He turned his head to look at his son’s back, feeling a bit dazed. He didn’t know when it started, but Jingheng was already taller and more outstanding than him.
Some things, once missed, are missed forever.
Regret? Not really.
Jiang Jingheng went downstairs and saw Jiang Wenhao and Liu Xiangqing sitting in the living room.
"Got scolded?" Liu Xiangqing winked at Jiang Jingheng.
Jiang Wenhao cleared his throat, signaling her not to talk like that.
Liu Xiangqing glanced askance at Jiang Wenhao, looking aggrieved, "I was just joking with your brother. Look how nervous you are, who’s more important, him or me?"
Jiang Wenhao was momentarily at a loss for words. Are all women so unreasonable?
Since he doesn’t know how to coax people, Liu Xiangqing’s expression turned really unpleasant.
She snapped, "Such a blockhead."
After speaking, she motioned to get up, but Jiang Wenhao held her back with a hint of helplessness in his voice, "You know Jingheng is my younger brother, you should be more mindful as a sister-in-law."
