Chapter 39: Brother

Jiang Shi Yue’s words just now also reminded Chen Xue Ru. If Jiang Shi Yue was truly no longer meek and obedient, letting her push her around, then there were some things she would have to let her daughter know. She could not stay so naive and simple, or else consequences she could not control would really appear.

As for her son Jiang Zi Chen, he was still young and far too rebellious. She could only work on him little by little.

She had plotted for so many years. She could not let it all fall apart at the last step.

Everything in the Jiang Family, including everything from Jiang Shi Yue’s maternal grandfather’s side, belonged to her and her two children.

No one was allowed to take it away!

…

After Jiang Shi Yue left the Jiang Family, she took a taxi and quickly found the sanatorium where Brother lived. It was a small sanatorium. The environment was quiet and elegant, but it was remote, and the facilities looked very ordinary. With the Jiang Family’s wealth, sending a child here really was treating him unfairly.

But Jiang Shi Yue also knew that Jiang Meng Qing had never liked her and Brother from the bottom of his heart, so it made sense that he sent Brother here. It was not surprising at all.

Jiang Shi Yue stood outside the sanatorium gates, but for some reason, she felt that timid feeling people got when they were close to home. It was very clear, and it even left her feeling strangely lost.

In this timeline’s memories, her twin brother Jiang Han Sheng was a warm, upright boy, and very smart. It was only because of mental issues that he had to enter the sanatorium to recover. Jiang Meng Qing had never liked him to begin with, and after he got sick, Jiang Meng Qing treated him as a terrible disgrace.

But this kind of brother was the only real warmth for this timeline’s Jiang Shi Yue.

To be honest, even though she had accepted the memories of Parallel Time-Space Jiang Shi Yue, she did not truly feel most of them in her bones. The only exception was Jiang Han Sheng. No matter which timeline it was, he was extremely important to Jiang Shi Yue.

In this timeline, Dad was a scumbag, and Mother died very early. Only Brother, crossing the dimensions of two worlds, remained the same, unchanging family bond.

She hesitated outside for a while. The sanatorium’s gate guard uncle saw a young girl wandering around and could not help walking over. He spoke gently, “Miss Jiang, you’re here again? Why aren’t you going in?”

“I’ll go sign in right away.” Jiang Shi Yue also showed him a smile. She took a quiet breath and lightly pressed down the unexplained sour ache in her heart.

After Jiang Shi Yue signed her name in accordance with the sanatorium’s rules, she went straight to Jiang Han Sheng’s room to visit him.

When she saw Jiang Han Sheng, he was sitting at the head of the bed, reading. His skin was pale, but his brows and eyes were handsome and clean. Sunlight fell across his face, making his manner even more gentle and polished, like jade.

Clear as a spring.

Jiang Shi Yue blanked out for a moment. No matter which timeline it was, Brother was always Brother – he had never changed. She really liked this feeling he gave off: warm, comforting. The warmth did not burn; it was just right, like a little stream slowly flowing into your heart from somewhere, smoothing away a kind of restlessness.

Deep down, Jiang Shi Yue felt a closeness she could not put into words, even though it was actually her first time meeting this timeline’s Brother.

But some things were so mysterious that you could not explain them.

When Jiang Han Sheng saw Jiang Shi Yue arrive, his lips curved into a faint smile, carrying his natural warmth. “Shi Yue, why are you here again?”

This was not a good place. His sister should not come here so often.
