Chapter 25: You stole someone's daughter!

You stole someone's daughter!

"What does it matter to me if she can't even recognize her own daughter?"

"I have postpartum depression, she doesn't—wouldn't she ask a nurse?"

"The fact is, she ruined my daughter!"

"Whose child faints every day? Can't you have some pity for Yuzhen!"

"You almost drove Jiang Xiangxiang mad—that's also a fact!"

"She wasn't crazy before? If she goes crazy now, we're even!"

"She's just a female celebrity—why are you protecting her?"

Shui Wanhua's gaze gradually turned strange. She stared at her husband with a vicious look, obviously about to speak.

Jiang Qiyu rubbed his forehead, not wanting to argue with this madwoman anymore: "She is now the heir of the Su Family, the only child of this generation of the Su Family. If you still want to be Madame Jiang, then properly raise your daughter."

"She isn't a female celebrity?"

"She's an illegitimate daughter, but all the shareholders of the Su Clan Group have signed, making her the next heir."

At this point, Jiang Qiyu began to resent his own biological daughter. Jiang Xiangxiang could find the Su Clan Group using information from her mother, so why does Jiang Yuzhen know nothing?

If Jiang Yuzhen had been raised by the Su Family, Yang Zhichun would surely have given her many good things. With the Jiang and Su families as her backing, her marriage prospects would be excellent, and ultimately the Jiang Family would benefit.

"Ah!"

Jiang Qiyu ignored Shui Wanhua's screams and walked straight out. As he closed the villa gate, he reminded her, "Don't forget, your sons like a kind mother."

Shui Wanhua collapsed onto the ground, covering her face as she wept.

……

"Where is this?"

Su Yu carefully moved her shoes. She was afraid of stepping into a puddle and wetting her socks.

【Although this old-style courtyard house is expensive, you still have to consider location and condition—it's so remote and dilapidated that it would be better to follow the neighbors' example, tear it down and build rental apartments.】

Yang Zhichun nodded inwardly. Xiao Yu was right.

"It's my older brother's house; you should call him great-uncle?"

Yang Zhichun took Su Yu's hand, while Su Xi supported Yang Zhichun. They carefully stepped onto the stone path. Not knowing whether it had rained or someone had washed the stones, water droplets still lingered on the slabs, so they walked especially slowly.

The two people who had been standing at the entrance acted as if they hadn't seen them, carrying the entrance gifts and rushing inside.

Su Yu:???

【Are we not here to attend a funeral? Could it be that the great-grandmother's brother, an elderly man escorting a younger one, died of anger afterward? The plot only mentions that the great-grandmother's brother died, and her sister-in-law therefore hated the great-grandmother. Could it be because we arrived late and didn't help them?

【But if hating the great-grandmother and wanting her life is the reason, that's far-fetched!】

"Will great-uncle give me a red envelope when he sees me?"

【It's strange to attend someone else's family funeral and still receive their greeting red envelope, but perhaps elders giving juniors a meeting gift is also a custom—refusing would be awkward. Ah, if I had known, I wouldn't have insisted on coming!】

"That probably won't work!"

???

Su Yu lifted her doubtful head and looked at Su Xi, "Should we not give a meeting gift, or give it later? I'm not holding a banquet."

【What rule prohibits giving gifts at a funeral? Then wouldn't I still have to make this trip, which is too far?

【If we didn't have to give a meeting gift, that would be great—I wouldn't have to treat them as relatives. A good card doesn't need to consider their family.】

【What exactly is the great-grandmother's attitude toward their family? She doesn't like them yet comes to such a remote place; saying she likes them doesn't necessarily mean she's upset.】

"He just died!"

Su Xi recalled all the years of resentment, "You angered me to death!"

Yang Zhichun slapped Su Xi across the face, "Nonsense!"

"Exactly, Uncle, don't slander me!"

【Hold on, is this the funeral of the great-grandmother's elder brother? What's going on? Where exactly did we rush to? How did he die so quickly?

【He's dead, and now my great-grandmother is going to suffer!】

【Why didn't I throw a tantrum and stop them from coming? Why didn't I say earlier that this was his funeral?!】

Su Yu's mind was a tangled mess, and she instinctively thought of her cheat.

【System, hurry, emergency card draw! Help me draw—if I get a Misfortune Card, I'll smash it onto the great-grandmother's sister-in-law! Wait, first throw a few Haha Cards to throw the situation into chaos. You won't hit the wrong person, will you?】

【Okay! Don't worry, I'll check the database and their family members' phones, and before placing the card I'll verify and clearly compare their faces.】

The System took a few seconds to identify the person, first smashing the Haha Cards onto the target, then drew a card.

Hahaha……

Hahaha……

Hahaha……

【Host, you drew the Misfortune Card.】

Su Yu listened to the continuing booming laughter drifting from the house and pressed her lips together.

【Can I call now to have her committed to a mental hospital?】

The neighboring residents were also drawn by the laughter, peeking out from windows and doorways. At first they thought they had misheard.

Upon closer look, the sound was indeed coming from the Yang household.

The Yang family's elderly lady—her husband just died—how is she laughing so loudly? She's been laughing for a minute and hasn't stopped. How much injustice must she usually endure to be this happy after her husband's death!

Just listening makes one feel a bit crazy!

Sigh! The Yang family's youngsters are still outside praising how great their grandfather is. Look—once a person dies, their true nature shows!

Poor old lady, if she keeps laughing like this, her children will end up despising her!

Look, even the old Yang man's sisters are frightened by the laughter and dare not step forward—what state will the children inside the house end up in?

The few old ladies who love gossip came crowding to the Yang family gate. They were only worried about the old lady's condition, definitely not coming to watch the family's excitement.

【Host, we might not have enough time.】

【How could that be?】

【A Ha-Ha Card lasts only one minute. Even if you speed down the empty road to the nearest mental hospital, it would take twenty minutes. A used Ha-Ha Card can only last five minutes; even adding a newly drawn New Card wouldn't be enough time. It's rush hour now, so driving over would take even longer. The mental hospital with a helicopter is too far away, and we can't land here, so the time will only be longer, not shorter.】

【What a pity. Besides what I said, keep an eye on others; we're ready to smash cards at any time. When you draw a new card, cooperate and fill it in—don't hold back.】

【All right, Host, don't worry.】

Su Yu had consulted with the system, then looked up at the two adults. They both had the same blank expression, not knowing what they were thinking.

【From now on I need to practice more to have a naturally blank expression, so that when we go out we'll look more like a family. My mom knows a bit of acting; she should be able to teach me, right?】

"Let's go."

Yang Zhichun spoke, and Su Yu and Su Xi continued walking forward. They reached the house door, and that laughter was still intermittent, like a loosely fastened faucet that would sputter out a sound now and then. The few old ladies who had been at the gate earlier also caught up with them, arriving at the door.

The people inside were in chaos.

Everyone was surrounding the old lady, using cloth to block her mouth. Although the old lady is old, her strength is not small; some juniors simply can't restrain her, who still hauls water and tends the fields every day.

The old lady herself was also confused. She didn't know why she just wanted to laugh. She also wanted to bite the cloth and stay silent, not wanting to let Yang Zhichun see her as a joke, but her hand couldn't help reaching for that cloth, and then she burst out laughing.

She caught sight of Yang Zhichun out of the corner of her eye, turned her steps, and her mind urged her feet to rush to the door. The grandchildren surrounding the old lady also saw this; some stepped aside, others gave her a push from behind.

At the same moment

【Host, time's up.】
