Chapter 1647: He Has No Right to Choose

Xie Wanyi speculated, "For scrubbing toilets?"

What, scrubbing toilets!?

This answer made Jiang Motian raise her hand to cover her forehead.

A moment later, she helplessly corrected him: "This is for scrubbing cups!"

"Oh? But for scrubbing cups, can't you just use your hands?"

"Some cups are thin and long; your hand simply can't reach inside!"

To help Xie Wanyi understand, Jiang Motian pointed to a thin, long glass bottle not far away.

With an example, Xie Wanyi understood instantly and muttered, "So that's it."

His look of sudden realization did not seem fake.

This confirmed one thing for Jiang Motian: this guy really is a dunce when it comes to daily life!

But thinking about it carefully...

That shouldn't be right; Xie Wanyi doesn't look like someone who has been pampered, he should be able to take care of himself in terms of daily life.

Jiang Motian felt this was somewhat contradictory.

She was silent for a while, then took the initiative to ask Xie Wanyi: "Do you usually cook for yourself?"

"Never."

"Oh? Then what do you eat?"

"Bread, instant noodles, or I buy food."

Xie Wanyi is not a person with a desire for food.

When executing missions, he would often go without a meal after the last one.

So his only two requirements for food are: it's not poisonous, and it can fill his stomach.

And such low requirements left him with zero knowledge about many aspects of life.

Hearing his reply, Jiang Motian was stunned, then muttered: "Your life is... so sloppy."

"Living is not easy to begin with; if your requirements are lower, you have fewer worries."

Xie Wanyi spoke from the heart, and these words touched Jiang Motian.

Then...

She looked at Xie Wanyi and suddenly felt that this person was actually quite pitiful.

He must have been battered by life to have such a plain yet profound realization!

Jiang Motian couldn't help but feel pity.

But she also knew she shouldn't be pointing fingers at someone else's life.

So, she didn't say anything. She just briefly explained what things were and what they were used for while shopping.

To be honest, Xie Wanyi didn't care at all what material those bottles were made of, what the difference between soy sauce and dark soy sauce was, or why one should choose organic soybean oil...

But when these boring details were spoken by Jiang Motian, they were full of the flavor of life.

Just listening to her, Xie Wanyi felt he was touched by the warmth of human life.

For a moment, he even felt he was just an ordinary person.

That brief peace of mind was very precious.

Xie Wanyi savored it carefully, a faint smile still hooked at the corners of his mouth.

Soon, Jiang Motian caught his smile.

This made Jiang Motian ask in confusion: "What I said... is it very interesting?"

"The content is fine, I just didn't expect a wealthy young lady to know so much about trivial daily matters."

Xie Wanyi was still smiling.

There was no malice or mockery in his smile; he was simply in a good mood.

Jiang Motian felt his relaxation.

This made her curl her lips as well and say: "When I was studying abroad, I had to take care of myself, so I still know the basic things."

"But even living abroad, you were still a young lady; if you wanted to, you could have had people take care of you."

"But if I can do things well myself, why let others do it?"

Jiang Motian's retort left Xie Wanyi speechless.

He even had a moment of bewilderment.

Then, in the next second, he shook his head and laughed.

It seems he had been biased, using his previous standards to measure Jiang Motian.

But in reality, Jiang Motian is not at all one of those young ladies who only has an empty shell and only knows how to enjoy life.

She... is very special.

Xie Wanyi deepened the smile on his lips and commented: "Your father and mother raised you very well."

Jiang Motian didn't quite understand this series of reactions from Xie Wanyi.

But he was praising her father and mother!

Jiang Motian immediately became smug, lifted her chin, and said: "You bet!"

Her proud look lasted for a while.

Only when she noticed that Xie Wanyi had no intention of continuing did she ask in confusion: "Is there something you forgot to say?"

"What?"

"Shouldn't you follow up with, 'You are also very excellent'?" Jiang Motian reminded him with a serious face.

Seeing this, Xie Wanyi held back his laughter and asked humbly: "Why should I say that?"

"Because for education to be successful, parents are one aspect, but the child's cooperation is also very important. If I were like my second brother, then my parents would also worry about me."

Xie Wanyi knew the situation of Jiang Motian's family members.

But he feigned ignorance, and following her words, asked: "You have a second brother?"

"That's right, me, my eldest brother, and my second brother are triplets; we weren't born too far apart. In our younger years, we would still bicker over who got to be the eldest, but now, we don't."

"Why, too lazy to fight for it?"

Jiang Motian shook her head and revealed the answer: "Because my dad said, whoever inherits the family property gets to be the eldest."

Huh?

This method... is a bit hasty.

Jiang Motian continued: "Once those words were out, my second brother immediately laid down the law, saying that no one was allowed to fight him for the position of the second child."

"So, you became the little sister?"

"Mm, but soon after, Momo was born, and she became the little sister."

Thinking of Li Moning, Jiang Motian's sentiments increased by a few points:

"This younger sister of mine is especially clingy to me, and she insists on saving all the good things for me."

Li Moning really liked being clingy to Jiang Motian.

She remembered that when they were little, she would pile all of her little snacks in front of Jiang Motian.

If the other two brothers dared to touch even one?

She would cry loud enough to shake the heavens!

Jiang Mobai even attempted to bribe Li Moning.

He wanted to be her dear, good second brother.

And the result?

Li Moning would turn around, take the good things Jiang Mobai used to bribe her, and trot them over to Jiang Motian.

Seeing that scene, Jiang Mobai would immediately doubt his own life.

He also gave up the thought of competing for Jiang Motian's favor.

Instead, he started... treating Jiang Motian even better than Li Moning did.

He was going to go head-to-head with Li Moning!

These siblings had no shortage of secret battles over this matter.

Even thinking about it now, Jiang Motian still couldn't help but shake her head and chuckle.

She laughed very easily.

When she laughed, her brows and eyes relaxed, looking especially like a pearl glowing with a soft luster.

Xie Wanyi did not speak; he just quietly watched her laugh.

Jiang Motian was already very sweet to begin with.

At this moment, she turned into a piece of toffee, sweet to the point of being silky...

Realizing his thoughts were somewhat abrupt, Xie Wanyi quickly dismissed the notion.

After a light cough, he used a very serious tone and said: "Other families fight tooth and nail to inherit the family property, but you all are quite unique."

"Every family's situation is different, after all; different choices lead to different results."

Jiang Motian's words made Xie Wanyi daze for a moment.

Subsequently, he lightly curled his lips, thinking to himself that Jiang Motian was very right.

But there are also some people who are born without the right to choose.

Like Xie Wanyi, he could only walk a path from which there was no turning back.
