Chapter 705 - 3: The Cannon Fodder Best Friend of the Tragic Romance Heroine (3)

As soon as Jiang Dao Hai heard, he stood up to swap Cai Xian’s bowl, but Jiang Lai held him down.

"You won’t eat undercooked rice, so you’re making my mom eat it?"

"She likes it, what’s wrong with her eating it?"

"Who the hell likes eating undercooked rice? You like it? Grandpa likes it? Or does Grandma like it?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Dao Hai threw down his chopsticks and stared heavily at Jiang Lai.

"How are you talking to your dad?! Have you forgotten that I’m your father?!"

Cai Xian saw this and wanted to mediate.

But Jiang Lai stood up directly and looked at Cai Xian.

"Mom, you said you’d leave this house to me, right?"

Cai Xian nodded, although unsure of Jiang Lai’s intention.

"Yes, Mom has two houses, one for your brother and one for you, that’s been decided."

At this moment, the usually silent Grandma suddenly glared at Jiang Lai and said coldly.

"Once married, you’re someone else’s, why do you need a house? When you get married, your husband will prepare a house for you. Zhizhi’s son was just born, shouldn’t this house be left for your grandson?"

Jiang Lai laughed slightly.

"This house is Mom’s, she can give it to whoever she wants. If you love your grandson so much, why don’t you buy him a house!"

At this point, Jiang Dao Hai, who had been on the brink of rage, stood up and yelled at Jiang Lai.

"Sit down and eat your meal! You’re causing chaos!! How dare you speak to your Grandma like that?! Looks like I haven’t disciplined you enough!!"

Before Jiang Dao Hai could act out, Jiang Lai raised both hands and flipped the table in front of him.

"None of you will eat until this is sorted!! The house is mine!! Everything you eat and use is in my house!! And yet you still dare to lecture me?!

No one is eating!! No one is eating!!"

With that said, Jiang Lai snatched the bowl from Grandpa’s hands and smashed it to the ground.

"Whoever makes my mom eat raw rice, I’ll make sure they don’t eat!! Hear me?! From now on, this is my home! Anyone who dares to call me dependent, get out!"

Jiang Lai went crazy online.

Not giving anyone else a chance to lash out.

He shocked everyone in the whole house into silence.

The Grandma, known for her pointed insults and curses, quietly turned and went back to her room.

The cowardly Jiang Dao Hai, bluffing exterior but weak inside, said nothing more and threw a final "Look at the mess you caused!" to Cai Xian before turning and leaving.

The Grandpa, always playing dumb and taking advantage, started feigning illness, didn’t even have a chance to let the drool drop before Jiang Lai creepily said.

"If your drool drops on my floor, I’ll wipe it off with your clothes!"

That cured the Grandpa’s fake facial paralysis instantly, and he skillfully maneuvered his wheelchair back into the room.

Seeing the mess left behind, Jiang Lai didn’t give Cai Xian time to grieve, grabbing her and heading out the door.

"Come on, let’s eat out."

Damn it, why put up with this crap.

As soon as they stepped outside, Jiang Lai heard a "ding dong" by her ear.

"Hidden plot triggered, welcome to the side quest.

It turns out your lineage is significant, you are not Cai Xian’s biological daughter, but the daughter of the richest man in Sea City. You were abandoned by a vengeful nanny and later picked up by Cai Xian.

Sadly, you never learn your true lineage before you die. After you went mad, the protagonist Zhao Zhaozhao found the token on you and became the rich man’s daughter based on it.

With the male lead’s help, they forged a paternity test report and deceived the entire rich family.

Afterwards, they feared exposure, so the male lead further coerced your biological parents’ estate, leaving them ruined.

Side quest reward: Change the fodder fate, save the rich man’s biological parents.

Side quest two: Change the adoptive mother’s fodder fate, repay the debt of gratitude for raising you."

The sudden plot revelation nearly hit Jiang Lai with a wave of melodrama.

She sneezed.

Cai Xian promptly and skillfully pulled out a nasal spray and handed it to her.

"Who does this nasal allergy resemble?"

"Who else do you think?"

The casual remark caused Cai Xian’s expression to tighten slightly.

"Of course, it’s like you; don’t you also sneeze all the time."

"Hahaha yeah, like me."

Except, Cai Xian’s sneezes were from kitchen smoke, but Jiang Lai’s was from a congenital allergy, a hereditary condition.

Especially to dust and such, when spring comes, her sneezing frequency is like firecrackers, nonstop.

Leaving a chaotic house behind, mother and daughter went to a hot pot restaurant they couldn’t usually bear to go to.

This place costs around five hundred per person, specializing in seafood.

Jiang Lai picked up the menu and unhesitatingly ordered a pine leaf crab, with abalone and rock lobster only counting as side dishes, and went straight for the king crab in the tank.

Cai Xian kept mumbling beside her.

"Oh my, all so expensive, who can afford four hundred per kilo crab, the money could buy small ones for months!"

Jiang Lai looked at her sideways.

"Mom, didn’t you say you traveled across half of China by yourself during university? You could spend that money freely, so why can’t you enjoy good food now?"

"Now and then are different, the whole family needs money, better save it for your graduate studies."

"My grad school funds are saved, don’t worry, just eat."

There’s a cool million still warm in her hand.

Jiang Lai already transferred the money to her account, might as well take it since Fu Lihan called it compensation.

Looking at the seafood-laden table, Cai Xian’s heart ached with mixed feelings.

"Ah, what’s gotten into you, child."

Knowing her daughter had caused a scene at home for her sake, Cai Xian felt relieved yet anxious.

Jiang Lai dipped a crab leg for her, expressionless.

"If you don’t eat and drink, someone else will eat and drink for you, don’t worry, your daughter is earning now."

No sooner had she said this, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Isn’t this Jiang Lai? Oh, Mom, you’re here too. You two have quite a lifestyle now, this seafood spread must be four or five thousand."

Jiang Lai looked up at the woman in front of her.

Her erstwhile best friend, Wang Lili.

Later married her brother, now her sister-in-law.

Gave birth to a son three months ago, and at that time Cai Xian paid for a grand full-month banquet for the child.

Seeing her, Cai Xian appeared a bit uncomfortable, even setting down her chopsticks.

"Mom, go ahead and eat, why stop just because I’m here? As a mother-in-law, not helping with the grandson, neither contributing money nor effort, now comes for a seafood feast with your daughter, eat!

It’s not like you’re spending for your grandson’s formula or diapers."

Cai Xian’s face turned cold.

The place was crowded, many eyes on them, making the seafood in front of her lose its appeal.

"We’re eating, talk at home."

"I will say it! Your grandson is three months old, have you taken care of him a day? My mom took care of me during my confinement!

And look at you, at ease having dinner here with your daughter! Apparently, the grandson doesn’t bear the Jiang surname, isn’t part of your family!"
