Chapter 35 What’s Wrong with Her?
Mr. Jiang, although he drove to school from home, actually got home faster than Jiang Zhiyi.
"Come here."
As soon as Jiang Zhiyi walked through the door, he saw Mr. Jiang sitting in the living room, frowning at him and demanding, "What’s the matter with you? How could you leave Xiao Xi alone at school so late at night?"
"She’s not a three-year-old. Can’t she figure out how to get home on her own?" Jiang Zhiyi furrowed his brows. He was in a bad mood and didn’t feel like dealing with his old man. His tone was somewhat sharp.
"Listen to yourself. What kind of thing is that to say?" Mr. Jiang, slapping the table and pointing at him furiously, scolded, "Xiao Xi is a girl, do you know how dangerous it is for her to go home alone at night? You two go to the same school. Why can’t you just bring her home with you? Besides, if you really had something going on, you should’ve told us in advance so I could have picked her up."
Jiang Zhiyi, with a lazy and defiant demeanor, retorted, "You seem to care more about her than your own son."
Mr. Jiang grew so angry he almost erupted, "What kind of thing is that to say? We’re all family. What does it matter who’s biological or not. Does Aunt Xu not treat you well? Why can’t you take better care of Chenxi?"
Xu Wanyu hurriedly intervened, "Calm down, Xiao Yi didn’t mean it. Let’s talk about this tomorrow; it’s late. They have school tomorrow. Let them go wash up and rest!"
Mr. Jiang snorted coldly, "I think he did it on purpose. And you’re sticking up for him. Just look at him; does he look like a proper big brother?"
"Say whatever you want, but from now on, I’ll be commuting to school alone. If you’re worried about her, you can drive her yourself!" After saying this, Jiang Zhiyi turned to head to his room.
