Chapter 39: Fractured Arm

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Jiang Li was afraid that Jiang Man would not understand, so she deliberately broke down the logic of the matter and placed it in front of Jiang Man.

“You…”

“Ah! Ah! Ah! You did it on purpose…”

Jiang Li looked at that crazy girl who was pointing at her nose and scolding her. A fierce look flashed across Jiang Li’s eyes as she threatened, “Believe it or not, I’ll throw you directly down the stairs.”

Pointing at the spiral staircase on the second floor, Jiang Man remembered the last time she fell on her back and did not dare to say another word.

“I didn’t force you to steal my things. Did you think that you can steal anything?”

“There will always be a price to pay.”

Hearing the argument, Jiang Man’s parents ran over worriedly.

Jiang Li looked at them with a secretive look and said indifferently.

Blood is thicker than water? It was all fake. In the eyes of Father Jiang and Mother Jiang, there was only profit. For the money, they could sell their souls!

She could not stay in such a dirty place for even one more minute.

“I’m going back.” Jiang Li said tiredly as pulled open the car door and sat in the back seat with her eyes closed.

——

In Yangming, Jiang Li casually accompanied Su Tongtong to the snack bar to buy snacks. She looked up and saw Jiang Man on the stairs.

This girl was really haunting her.

Did she not understand yesterday’s warning?

“Sister, don’t be angry. In a few days, I’ll ask mom to take you to the party, okay?”

Jiang Man, who had always avoided her, took the initiative to hold her hand and deliberately said loudly.

The surrounding classmates all pricked up their ears to eavesdrop. After all, who did not like to listen to gossip? It was the most interesting!

“…” Jiang Li tilted her head, and the corners of her mouth twitched as she watched Jiang Man’s crazy performance like a female lead in a soap opera.

Did she want to go to the Acting Academy? Her acting was awful!

“Mom thought that you just came from the countryside to the city and was afraid that you wouldn’t get used to it. It wasn’t intentional. You can’t move out just because of this… We were all worried.” Jiang Man became more and more agitated as she spoke.

It seemed that the country bumpkin was jealous!

“Is it possible for anyone to go to the banquet of the upper-class society? Why don’t you look at yourself in the mirror and see what you look like!”

“Yeah, Manman is really kind. She is still thinking of her sister even when she is being bullied like this!”

The little follower’s voice was ear-piercing. Before Jiang Li could react, she suddenly felt Jiang Man grabbing her hand with a little more strength.

“Ahh…”

Jiang Man deliberately let go of her hand and made it look like she was being pushed, causing her to roll down the stairs.

This sudden accident made the students a little flustered. The teacher quickly arrived and looked at Jiang Li, who was still standing in the same place. “What are you doing? !”

“It’s not sister’s fault. I was the one who lost my footing.”

Jiang Man felt a piercing pain in her right hand, but she gave a triumphant smile and looked at Jiang Li.

‘Haha, she’s using such a petty trick?’

How could she even think of it? Jiang Li stared at her as if she was an idiot. “You need to go to the hospital with us!”

Afraid that something might happen to Jiang Man’s body, the teachers rushed to call an ambulance and brought her and Jiang Li to the hospital.

In the corridor, Mother Jiang quickly rushed over.

“You heartless girl! Why on Earth did you do this?”

Mother Jiang kept pushing and shaking Jiang Li, which made the nurse remind her, “This is a hospital, not your living room. Please don’t disturb the other patients, okay?”

“Mom… My arm is fractured.”

Jiang man was kind enough to squeeze out two tears. She grabbed Mother Jiang’s hand and said weakly, “We’ll need to pay for it.”

“Pay? Pay for what?”

It was as if the Jiang family’s money was tied to their kidneys. Once it was mentioned, they would ask more about it more agitatedly than anyone else.

“I can’t draw with my hands, so I’ll have to pay the Ninth Master a sum of money…” Jiang Man looked at Jiang Li and pushed all the blame onto her.

Mother Jiang looked back at Jiang Li and was anxious.

At this moment, they could not make ends meet. They could not even maintain the company’s finance, so how could they take out another sum of money?

“It’s all your fault. If it weren’t for you, nothing would have happened! Go to Fu Jiuxiao and tell him that you will pay for the compensation!” Mother Jiang really dared to say this.

Before Jiang Li could answer, she heard a cold voice behind her. “Are you looking for me?”
