Qi An'an couldn't help but mock, "What a total sucker."
Jiang Yangxu: "..."
Jiang Yangxu frowned and asked, "Jiang Zhao, weren't you in a coma? How do you know about all this?"
Jiang Zhao answered truthfully, "Dad, I heard it all with my own ears! I don't know how it happened, but even though I couldn't wake up during this time, my consciousness was clear. Everything that vicious woman Jiang Yonghe said and did while taking care of me, I know perfectly well!"
Qin Yulian realized something and looked at Jiang Youli. "Could it be that silver needle..."
Jiang Youli curled her lips into a cold sneer. "That's right. I actually woke Jiang Zhao up a long time ago, but only his consciousness was awake..."
Hearing this, Jiang Yonghe's body trembled violently.
How could this be... Jiang Zhao was actually conscious this whole time?
Jiang Xing finally understood what Jiang Youli meant when she said he would regret giving the detoxification opportunity to Jiang Yonghe.
He truly regretted it...
To think he had given the only chance for a cure to a vicious woman who had played their entire family for fools.
If Qin Yulian had previously been reluctant to deal a lethal blow to her adopted daughter Jiang Yonghe, hearing her son Jiang Zhao say that Jiang Yonghe had done such things to him instantly made her so furious her lungs felt like they would explode!
She did love her adopted daughter Jiang Yonghe, but absolutely no one could be placed above her two sons!
Without a single doubt about her son's words, Qin Yulian stood up, rushed over to the kneeling Jiang Yonghe, and kicked her right in the chest.
"Jiang Yonghe, you little bastard, how dare you do such a thing to my son Jiang Zhao! You deserve to be hacked to pieces. We raised you for so long, and this is how you repay us!"
Qin Yulian used almost all her strength in this kick.
Jiang Yonghe had a frail physique to begin with. Taking this kick, she tumbled to the ground, looking extremely wretched.
Watching this scene, Jiang Youli didn't feel much vindication; she only found it ridiculous.
Fortunately, she knew exactly what kind of people Jiang Yangxu's family were. She had never thought about competing with Jiang Yonghe for their favor. Otherwise, if she failed in that competition, she might end up just like Jiang Yonghe right now, abandoned by her so-called family in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Yonghe felt pain radiating through all her internal organs. Clutching her chest, she looked up at Jiang Zhao and said tearfully, "Second Brother, you said you were conscious, but is it possible that what you heard were actually hallucinations..."
"Hallucinations?" Jiang Zhao's eyes were full of hatred. "You vicious woman, you want to slander my sister again, don't you! I am absolutely certain it wasn't a hallucination!"
Jiang Yonghe said pitifully, "Second Brother, we grew up together. Don't you know what kind of person I am? How could I possibly hurt you..."
She turned to look at Jiang Youli, questioning her with a stubborn and unyielding expression, "Jiang Youli, this is another one of your schemes to sow discord, isn't it?"
Jiang Youli sneered, "Sow discord among you? I wouldn't stoop so low."
"You little bastard, even at a time like this, you still want to slander my daughter! I think you have a death wish!" To win Jiang Youli's forgiveness, Jiang Yangxu ignored the pain in his body, stood up, and walked over to Jiang Yonghe. He bent down, grabbed her hair with his good hand, and slammed her straight into the coffee table with brutal force.
With a loud bang, the coffee table vibrated violently from the impact.
"Ah..." Jiang Yonghe let out an agonizing wail.
Except for Jiang Youli and Qi Huan, everyone else was startled by this sudden act of violence.
Old Master Jiang watched coldly from the sidelines, not speaking up to stop it.
Jiang Yangxu pulled hard on Jiang Yonghe's hair, lifting her head to make her look at Jiang Youli. He said with deep hatred, "You little bastard, how dare you pull so many tricks behind my back! Did you really take me for a sucker? You used the money I gave you to support your biological father and hired people to murder my biological daughter! Now, kowtow and apologize to my daughter immediately!"
"Dad, listen to me..." Jiang Yonghe covered her forehead, shaking her head vigorously with tears in her eyes.
Jiang Yangxu roared in fury, "Shut up! Don't call me Dad! I am not your father! If it weren't for you, would I have become enemies with my own flesh and blood?"
Qi An'an clicked her tongue and said, "God, this change of face is terrifyingly creepy, so scary."
Her best friend also chimed in:
"But Jiang Yonghe brought this upon herself. She's clearly just an adopted daughter, yet she insisted on having her cake and eating it too. She didn't want to marry the crippled Eldest Young Master Qi, but she also wanted to stay in the Jiang family to continue enjoying a life of luxury."
"Exactly. She already enjoyed twenty years of wealth and glory for nothing, yet she still wasn't satisfied. Not only did she secretly harm the true daughter of the Jiang family, but she also laid her hands on Jiang Zhao. Calling her an ungrateful wretch is an understatement!"
"If you ask me, she deserves it even if she gets beaten to death."
While pressing Jiang Yonghe's head and slamming it onto the floor, Jiang Yangxu looked up and said to Jiang Youli, "Youli, Dad is venting your anger for you."
Jiang Youli curled her lips into a smile. "Not enough."
To obtain Jiang Youli's forgiveness, Jiang Yangxu hardened his heart, lifted Jiang Yonghe's head, and continued slamming it against the floor.
Once, twice, three times...
The blood on Jiang Yonghe's forehead flowed more and more, and her cries for help and screams grew weaker.
Jiang Xing stepped forward and grabbed his father Jiang Yangxu's hand, saying, "Dad, stop."
"What, Jiang Xing, you still want to protect this little bastard?" Jiang Yangxu frowned, his tone carrying dissatisfaction and a warning.
"No, Dad. If you keep smashing her head, she might die," Jiang Xing reminded him.
Afraid that her husband would actually kill Jiang Yonghe right there and end up in prison himself, Qin Yulian said, "Yangxu, let's leave it at this for today. Dying would be letting this little bastard off too easy. We'll let her slowly make amends to our daughter in the future."
Jiang Yangxu let go and looked at Jiang Youli again. "Youli..."
Before Jiang Yangxu could finish, Jiang Youli repeated the same phrase: "Not enough."
Jiang Yangxu's eyes darkened. He knew that Jiang Youli was testing his attitude!
He gritted his teeth, stood up, and picked up the bloody knife from the coffee table.
Qin Yulian was shocked. "Yangxu, what are you doing?!"
Jiang Yangxu pushed his wife Qin Yulian aside. "Youli said it's not enough! Don't stop me. I can't kill this little bastard, but I must slash her face a couple of times to help Youli vent her hatred!"
"No... Dad, don't do this..." Blood flowed from the wound on Jiang Yonghe's forehead down between her terrified eyes. Using her remaining consciousness, she propped herself up on the ground with both hands, constantly backing away while pleading bitterly.
Seeing that Jiang Yangxu had no intention of softening his heart, she looked at Jiang Xing again and cried bitterly, "Big Brother, Big Brother, save me... Weren't you the one who loved me the most..."
Jiang Xing clenched his fists and said coldly, "I did love you, otherwise why would I have given the opportunity for a cure to you and endured the pain myself? But you played me for a fool, and you played our whole family for fools..."
Seeing that Jiang Xing didn't intend to plead for her either, Jiang Yonghe turned back to look at Jiang Zhao. "Second Brother..."
"Don't call me Second Brother! Right now, I wish I could kill you with my own hands!" Jiang Zhao's gaze was like a sharp blade, causing Jiang Yonghe to shudder uncontrollably.
