Chapter 20: Turning Green

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The other brothers of the Jiang family were afraid that Jiang Wan would be scarred as a result of Jiang Yu's death. They sealed off Jiang Yu's room and took turns to comfort Jiang Wan during the night. They were afraid that she would suffer nightmares.

Of course, this was all in the future.

At that moment, Jiang Yu said carefully, "The necklace looks good but… I don't like this color."

"Big Sister, the color of this jade is the purest of greens. Look, it contains no flaws," Jiang Wan chided. "You say you don't like it… Do you have something against Big Brother?"

She glanced at Jiang Cheng Lang's face as she said, "Big Brother has so graciously brought us back gifts from his business trip. Big Sister, we should only be grateful to him.

"Ah, I understand. It's because Big Sister had never received such a valuable gift before so you are deliberately saying that the color is no good so that you won't have to accept it. Do you not want the gift? Are you afraid of owing Big Brother?"

"Big Sister, don't worry. Our Big Brother is rich, he doesn't worry about such small amounts of money. After all, we're a family. Why would he care about such things between us? Just accept the gift."

Jiang Wan said words like 'family' and 'small amounts of money'. Wasn't this just to mock Jiang Yu for coming from a small family and not having seen much of the world?

She had the audacity to call her and Jiang Yu family. She really was a sweet talker, knowing the words that would tug at people's hearts.

Jiang Yu really couldn't be bothered to get involved in a banter with a girl but that did not mean she was clueless to what Jiang Wan was trying to imply. She would not back down so easily.

"You're overthinking it," Jiang Wan said plainly. "I simply don't like this color because…"

Jiang Yu dragged out her next words. "It's like turning green."

Jiang Wan was stunned. "Big Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean it's like turning green?"

Jiang Yu looked at Jiang Cheng Lang. "It's the falling of falling stocks. It feels ominous."

Jiang Cheng Lang was a businessman and regularly dabbled in the stocks. Upon hearing Jiang Yu's words, he couldn't help but frown.

In the stock market, no one wanted to see the color green.¹ After what Jiang Yu said, he actually felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the jade necklace.

"Since you do not like it, I'll go change it for you."

Jiang Yu said without missing a beat. "There's no need for it to be pink. That color tends to clash with everything, any color will do just fine. As for the price of the gift, just keep it to three million. If it's too expensive, some people might get jealous."

Jiang Wan cried out, "What are you talking about? Why would I feel jealous…"

Jiang Yu turned around, "I wasn't talking about you"

Jiang Wan's face froze.

Her face turned green and pale, as if someone had just read her thoughts.

Jiang Yu could either be silent or vicious with her words. When she chose to open her mouth, she was going for the kill.

"I am not talking about you. I was just saying what I think other people might think."

Jiang Yu said to Jiang Cheng Lang, "I will not lie and accept something that I do not like. Let's just agree to never lie to each other."

Jiang Cheng Lang felt a little uncomfortable at first. After all, having someone reject a gift he had picked out personally was like getting a slap in the face.

Jiang Cheng Lang found himself taken by Jiang Yu's frank and straightforward manner. He was so used to seeing people scheming against each other. Her attitude was like a breath of fresh air.

It shouldn't matter if a girl her age was a little spoiled.

The girls of the Jiang family could afford to be a little spoiled after all.
