Qiao Nian's right arm hung loosely by her side. Her eyes were lowered, and her eyelashes left a shadow below her eyelids.
She said nothing.
Anyone could feel the irritation and impatience that she was trying her best to control.
Jiang Zongjin stood beside her, his face filled with undisguised anger. He stared at Jiang Zongnan and stood in front of Qiao Nian.
Jiang Zongnan felt even more upset and was even more speechless upon seeing his brother's reaction. "I..."
"Enough!"
The person who stopped him was Old Master Jiang.
Old Master Jiang sat in the wheelchair and gripped the armrest tightly. His hair seemed to have turned completely white in just a few days. He frowned tightly. His eyes were still full of energy, but he couldn't hide the disappointment in them.
"I thought that you still had some kinship with Nian Nian. Even if the bond is not as strong as with your own daughter, it's at least better than outsiders."
It was fine if Old Master Jiang did not speak, but the moment he did, Jiang Zongnan lowered his head in shame. He clenched his fists and explained in a dry voice, "Dad, that's not what I meant. It's not that I don't care about Nian Nian. I..."
He really didn't know how to explain his actions.
Old Master Jiang shook his head. "You don't have to explain to me. You disappoint me too much!"
Jiang Zongnan looked up and saw the unconcealed disappointment in his father's eyes. How could he not feel uncomfortable?
"Forget it."
