Chapter 156: Banishment


Jiang Wan knew that she could no longer deny it.


She bit her lower lip, her face turned pale as she remained silent.


Jiang Chenglang’s mind was also in a mess at the moment.


When he had first advised Jiang Wan to calm down, he had also been advising himself to remain calm. He did not speak the whole time because he wanted to see how Jiang Wan would refute him.


Later on, there was no chance for him to speak. Now, he actually did not know what to say for a moment.

!!

The little sister that he kept in the palm of his hand and had raised ever so carefully turned out to have such a vicious streak. She was skilled in scheming and had used some dirty tricks. Even after Feng Linbai and Jiang Yu had exposed her entire plan, she still dared to try to deny it so blatantly.


As everyone witnessed the proceedings, he felt like an invisible hand had slapped him a few times.


He didn’t dare to think about how she might have lied to him in the past.


How much more had she lied to him? What else did she hide from him?


Jiang Chenglang sighed deeply in his heart.


He was very disappointed in himself.


He thought that he had been treating his two sisters equally but people’s hearts were made of flesh after all. He had been together with Jiang Wan for 12 years so there he might have been acting rather biased.


Moreover, when he first tried to get along with Jiang Yu, he had asked for Jiang Wan’s opinion on some things that he wasn’t too sure about but now, it seems like he has done something wrong and had hurt Jiang Yu?


Jiang Chenglang didn’t dare to think about it anymore.


People were like that. One day, at the smallest of holes in your impression of the person you trust the most, dark things that you once ignored will suddenly pop up like bamboo shoots after the rain. They began to take root, sprout, and consume in your heart.


You won’t just feel sad and disappointed, you will even feel like a joke.


Those overlapping regrets you have will be the most hurtful thing.


After a long while, Jiang Chenglang said solemnly, “Wan Wan, I’m very disappointed in you.”


Jiang Wan still didn’t say anything.


“Maybe you still don’t understand the mistakes you’ve made but I hope you can reflect on your actions.”


Jiang Chenglang said with a serious expression, “I’ll apply for a leave of absence from school for you so that you don’t have to go to school during this time. I’ll get a tutor for you so you are to study at home. Not just your studies, but also for other things.”


“What’s more important than your grades is your character. No matter how good your grades are, it’s useless if you have a problematic att.i.tude.”


“If you have any other such contacts, please hand them over. I don’t want something like this to happen again. Also…”


Jiang Chenglang paused for a moment before continuing, “While you’re reflecting and studying, you shall not be staying in this house. I’ll find you another place to stay.”


“The Jiang family have another house in the neighborhood next door. You can stay there. I’ll arrange the servants for you. You will have exactly the same things that you have here, you won’t want for anything.”


Jiang Wan finally reacted after hearing her big brother say all this.


She raised her head and said in disbelief, “Big Brother… are you chasing me away?”


“I just want to give you a quiet s.p.a.ce to reflect on yourself. Not only for you but also for me.”


Jiang Chenglang turned his head to look at Jiang Yu. “You’ve done so many things to Xiao Yu. I think Xiao Yu doesn’t really want to see you for a while. And I…”


Jiang Chenglang admitted, “I, for now, can’t accept what you’ve done.”


Jiang Wan said bitterly, “I understand, Big Brother.”


She said in a low voice, “You’re banis.h.i.+ng me, just like the ancient emperors who banish officials who make mistakes.”
