Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!

Jiang Hai nodded.

"The seasoning is on point, but there’s too much of it, can’t taste the meat, just the seasoning."

People spend money to eat meat, not to get a mouthful of seasoning.

After Jiang Hai finished speaking, he noticed Shen Yaoyao’s spirits were a little low, so he quickly added more praise.

"Not bad, not bad; doing this well by yourself is quite impressive."

Shen Yaoyao smiled.

"Uncle works hard by himself all day, we juniors feel for him. After thinking it over, this is the only way to ease his burden a bit. In the future, whenever Uncle needs a hand, I’ll be there."

Jiang Hai nodded, thinking this child Shen Yaoyao is sensible.

But that was the extent of it, he didn’t think much more.

Shen Yaoyao still sat there, quietly watching Jiang Hai as if waiting for something.

At this moment, Jiang Shun took the initiative to speak.

"Dad, aren’t you cooking at the factory director’s house tomorrow? Why not take Yao Yao along, after all, Jiang Lai doesn’t know how to cook and won’t be of much help."

As soon as he said this, before Jiang Hai could respond, Jiang Li immediately couldn’t help but interject.

"It’s exactly because she doesn’t know that she needs to go and learn. Once you know it all, why go? Besides, Dad asked my sister to go in the first place, and now you’re casually saying she shouldn’t, are you even her real brother?"

Jiang Shun frowned with some dissatisfaction and said.

"How is this related to being real siblings? One has skills and the other doesn’t; I can’t just push the one without skills to mess things up for Dad, right?

That’s the factory director’s feast, if it’s messed up, Dad’s reputation gets smashed along with it."

Almost the same words.

This time, it wasn’t from Shen Yan’s mouth, but Jiang Shun’s.

Shen Yaoyao has this ability, making herself silent, yet someone still fights for the chance she desires.

Jiang Hai hesitated for a while, but eventually, with no choice, he made a decision.

"Alright, both of you go. Stop arguing, what’s there to argue about? You two need to wake up before dawn tomorrow. Clean up nicely; now go back and sleep."

After returning to her room, Shen Yaoyao sat in front of the mirror brushing her hair.

Her face lacked expression, but her eyes were filled with deep sorrow.

Thinking about how her parents are both deceased, leaving her no choice but to live here away from home.

Uncle’s favoritism makes him unwelcoming, always prioritizing his daughter for anything good.

The only sister she has, she thought they could get along since they’re both girls, yet unexpectedly, she’s targeted everywhere, never shown any kindness.

Now, even teaming up with her brothers to bully and oppress her.

Although anyone who tastes her cooking says it’s good, Jiang Hai still nitpicks, undermining her while letting the useless Jiang Lai stick around to learn.

She lives such a hard life, striving a hundred times harder for anything she wants.

While Jiang Lai, without doing anything, has a biased father handing everything over to her.

Thinking about this, Shen Yaoyao’s eyes turned red.

Touching her hair, she realized it’s quite rough.

Then thinking about Jiang Lai’s, smooth and shiny, the shampoo must be good. She usually has to use soap, while Jiang Lai gets to use such nice things.

That night, Shen Yaoyao tossed and turned.

Thinking about Jiang Lai just sleeping a wall away made her heart sink.

She got up and went out, passing by Jiang Lai’s room, seeing her sitting under a candle applying something on her face.

The room was filled with a faint fragrance.

Shen Yaoyao had never smelled this scent, instinctually feeling that it’s something good.

She stood watching for a while, couldn’t help but ask.

"Jiang Lai sister, what are you using? It smells so nice."

Jiang Lai turned her head to look at her, then lifted the small metal box in front of her.

"Swan’s cream."

"How did you get it? It’s so expensive."

Where did Jiang Lai get the money or the capability to buy such good things?

"Oh, my brother bought it for me, don’t know how much it was, but it smells pretty good."

Jiang Hu shoved this thing into Jiang Lai’s hands when he returned from work.

Inside an old small metal box, there’s a thin layer of white cream, clearly dug from someone else’s, even a little spoonful is worth a few bucks.

In this small town, it’s undoubtedly a luxury.

Precisely because of this, Shen Yaoyao felt increasingly uneasy.

Jiang Hu actually bought such an expensive thing for Jiang Lai.

Does her face suit it?

Although he used to send her things often, they were always cheap little trinkets, like hair ties or clam oil.

The clam oil she uses now costs just seven cents each.

While the one in Jiang Lai’s hand costs a few bucks!

Once she thought Jiang Hu genuinely treated her like a real sister, now Shen Yaoyao only felt ridiculous and pitiful.

Giving him her heartfelt care because of tiny favors.

Now, it seems he never really cared!

Without looking at her expression, Jiang Lai already knew what was on her mind.

Despite receiving many benefits from the Jiang family brothers, those benefits might not compare to the Swan’s cream she holds. The kindness Jiang Hu previously showed to Shen Yaoyao might just vanish completely.

She might even resent him.

Without saying it, she pitied her own cheapness while resenting others’ perfunctory behavior.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lai closed the lid, finally patted her face and yawned.

"I’m going to sleep, aren’t you?"

"My hair is itchy; I want to wash it before sleeping... sister, do you have shampoo left? Lend me some."

Jiang Lai helplessly spread her hands.

"None left, used it all."

In the dark, Shen Yaoyao’s face dropped.

"Sister is quite skilled, such a big bottle of shampoo, used it up so quickly."

Sitting on the bed, Jiang Lai slowly applied the remaining Swan’s cream on her arms.

"Can’t help it, once it’s used up, someone sends more, why save it? You have a brother, right? Heard Shen Ping is looking for work recently, let him earn to buy you shampoo too."

Jiang Lai’s words deliberately struck Shen Yaoyao’s sore spot.

Counting on Shen Ping, drinking the northwest wind more than water.

She couldn’t understand why the usually biased and kind Jiang family’s three brothers suddenly changed.

Giving Jiang Lai such generosity!

She felt extremely upset.

Thinking that all her genuine affection has been wasted!

In exchange, all she got were cheap, worthless trinkets.

She stopped talking and walked out, sitting alone in the courtyard and cried for a while, finally deciding to wash her hair.

Tomorrow is the day at the factory director’s house.

She heard the director and his wife have only one child, a son.

She also heard this only son is about the same age as her.
