Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom
Chapter 576: Undermining
Of course, Jiang Zhan wouldn’t get lost.
In fact, the Jiang Family isn’t actually far from here.
Courtyard houses like where Jiang Ran lives used to be homes only for those who were wealthy and influential.
Such people would naturally live closer to the city center.
The Jiang Family is also wealthy; although they don’t live in a courtyard, they’re not far from here either.
If it weren’t for the short distance, Jiang Zhan wouldn’t be coming here after school.
When Jiang Zhan got home, surprisingly, everyone was there.
Seeing everyone at home was quite strange to Jiang Zhan.
In their family, it’s usual for members to not be home.
Having everyone neatly sitting in the living room like now is a rare occurrence.
As soon as Jiang Zhan stepped into the living room, everyone there turned to look at him.
Chen Meirong was the first to speak, "Zhan Zhan, where did you go? Why didn’t you let the driver bring you home after school and walked by yourself instead? I heard you did the same yesterday. How could you do that? Don’t you know it makes us worry about you?"
Given the Jiang family’s financial capacity, having a driver to pick Jiang Zhan up for school is completely normal.
Jiang Zhan pressed his lips together, "I had other matters to attend to. Mom, you don’t have to worry. I grew up around here; there’s no place I don’t know. Nothing’s going to happen to me."
However, Chen Meirong did not agree with Jiang Zhan’s words, "You’re still a high school student. You haven’t entered society and don’t know how complicated people’s hearts can be. Bad people don’t have ’bad person’ written on their faces, so don’t roam around. Come straight home after school..."
Chen Meirong’s rambling was interrupted by Jiang Zhongguo.
"Enough! Every time you nag, it’s always the same. What’s the use of saying all that?"
After scolding Chen Meirong, Jiang Zhongguo turned to Jiang Zhan, "From now on, after school, take the car and come straight home. Don’t you have homework? What are you running around for all day long?"
Jiang Zhongguo’s attitude was poor, and Jiang Zhan’s expression turned stubborn.
"I said I have things to do. I’ll come back after handling my own matters. I’m old enough to tell who is good and who is bad."
"You’ve learned to talk back now, huh?"
Jiang Zhongguo became a bit angry, his face turned cold, and his tone became more harsh and icy.
"Did I send you to school just to learn to talk back to me?"
"I’m not talking back to you, I’m just stating facts. I’ve grown up, can judge right from wrong, and know what I should and shouldn’t do."
"What the hell do you know!"
Suddenly, Jiang Zhongguo stood up, glaring at Jiang Zhan.
Just when Jiang Zhan thought he was going to get hit, Jiang Zhi slowly spoke up.
"When you were young, did I ever educate you like this?"
Jiang Zhi was addressing Jiang Zhongguo.
Jiang Zhongguo was a bit surprised and somewhat embarrassed to hear Jiang Zhi speak up at this moment.
Jiang Zhongguo looked at Jiang Zhi in confusion, "Dad, what’s wrong with you?"
What’s up with the old man today? Why is he speaking to him like this in front of Jiang Zhan?
Speaking against him in front of Jiang Zhan, how is he supposed to maintain his authority as a father?
Jiang Zhi’s expression was calm, "What’s wrong with me? Nothing at all. When you were this age, I never scolded you like this."
