Chapter 453: You Brought This On Yourself

From now on, Sheng An’ning can no longer stay in the Jiang family?!

Sheng An’ning’s pupils dilated as she stood rooted to the ground in shock!

She had thought that Jiang Zhiyuan would give her a small punishment and use some tricks to make her repent. However, Sheng An’ning had never thought that she would be banished from the Jiang family!

Sheng An’ning had been brought to the Jiang family since she was very young. She was not used to this new place at first, but over the past ten years, she had already treated this place as her real home.

Every time she returned to B City, the relatives of the Sheng family would gather around her and greet her. They would even try to curry favor with her.

When she was young, Sheng An’ning still did not understand what it meant to be raised as a daughter of the Jiang family. But as she grew older, she understood that the Jiang family could bring her much more than the Sheng family!

But now, Jiang Zhiyuan was going to expel her?!

Sheng An’ning felt very upset. It was as if her soul had left her body, and her eyes lost focus.

All of a sudden, Sheng An’ning’s legs gave out, and she almost fell to the ground!

No, no, no, how could she accept such an ending? No matter if it was a beating or a scolding, it was only temporary.

But once she was separated from the Jiang family, the luxurious life she was enjoying now would turn into a dream of the past!

How could she accept this kind of life!

After she came to her senses, Sheng An’ning clenched her fists tightly. Her expression changed rapidly and a dim light gathered in her absent-minded eyes again. She looked at Jiang Zhiyuan without blinking.

“Grandfather, this is my home. You are my grandfather. I can’t leave! An’ning said that she would accompany grandfather until he grows old!”

“Grandfather, An’ning is wrong. An’ning will change! Please don’t chase An’ning away, okay?”

As she spoke, Sheng An’ning’s delicate face was already covered in tears. Tears streaked across her face, making her look so delicate and pitiful.

The light in Jiang Zhiyuan’s aged eyes was unpredictable. He stared deeply at the girl in front of him. His heart felt like a knocked over bottle of mixed emotions. It was so complicated that it was difficult to describe.

Jiang Zhiyuan looked disappointed and a hint of struggle flashed across his eyes. However, when he glanced at Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng beside him, he only sighed in the end.

He looked at Sheng An’ning, who had grown up from a little dumpling of a child to a girl who looked like a painting. How could he not have feel for Sheng An’ning?

It would have been fine if it had been any other mistake. However, what Sheng An’ning had done this time had already crossed Jiang Zhiyuan’s line.

At his 70th birthday banquet, Su Wan’s grandmother had unexpectedly lost her life. No matter how one looked at it, the Jiang family would be responsible for this debt.

And the culprit was this seemingly weak girl in front of him.

He had made this decision because he had let down his old comrades. He had let down Su Wan’s grandmother. But now, he could not let down his principles.

The Jiang family had already done its best for Sheng An’ning.

Jiang Zhiyuan reached out to stroke Sheng An’ning’s tear-stained eyebrows. He suppressed the pain in his heart and tried his best to speak in a calm tone.

“An’ning, you were not a child of the Jiang family to begin with. You’ll be married off sooner or later. It’s not a bad thing to return to the Sheng family.”

“Grandfather——”

Sheng An’ning shook her head violently, trying to get Jiang Zhiyuan to take back his words. However, Jiang Zhiyuan quickly interrupted her.

“An’ning, I’ll contact the Sheng family and have someone to send you back to B City. You must remember this lesson in the future. Don’t be careless and make similar mistakes. Grandfather still treats you as his granddaughter.”

Hearing Jiang Zhiyuan’s merciless words, Sheng An’ning felt suffocated!

She lowered her face in sadness, her hands gradually clenched into fists, and her lowered eyelashes covered the fierce glint in her eyes.

She hated him!

How could she not hate him?!

Jiang Zhiyuan said that he treated her as his granddaughter. If the person who made a mistake today was Jiang Xuecheng or Jiang Haoxuan, would Jiang Zhiyuan still cut ties with them so easily?!

Sheng An’ning saw that Jiang Zhiyuan had made up his mind, and she could no longer change it. She gritted her teeth and ran to Jiang Haoxuan hurriedly.

She raised her beautiful face and two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks.

“Haoxuan, you said that your biggest wish is to marry me. Do you still think that way now?”

Sheng An’ning said with a choking voice. Her thick nasal voice sounded so fragile that it could be crushed at any time if Jiang Haoxuan said something negative.

Hearing Sheng An’ning mention this, Jiang Haoxuan felt a pain in his heart. He stared at Sheng An’ning and felt extremely tired.

When did he say this?

At Jiang Haoxuan’s birthday party, Sheng An’ning had given him the Patek Philippe watch that was meticulously crafted. He thought that Sheng An’ning had only asked that question because she saw his watch.

However, Sheng An’ning’s answer was like an ice needle, piercing Jiang Haoxuan’s heart and sending chills down his spine.

Memories of the past flashed through his mind. It was only today that Jiang Haoxuan realized that his pursuit of Sheng An’ning for so many years had turned out to be wrong.

The innocent and harmless girl that he had fallen in love with had turned out to be just an illusion.

Jiang Haoxuan took a deep breath. His long and slender eyebrows furrowed, and his expression revealed a hint of exhaustion.

“An’ning, do you still remember? At that time, you told me that the person you liked was your big brother and that you hoped that we could continue to be friends.”

Sheng An’ning heard this and clenched her fists even tighter in her sleeves.

She looked at Jiang Haoxuan in a daze. This was the first time she had heard Jiang Haoxuan reject her like this.

Sheng An’ning gritted her teeth and stammered for a long time before she finally looked at the boy in front of her.

“Haoxuan, but what if I say that I’m willing to marry you now?”

“An’ning, you’re only saying that you’re willing to marry me now because you want to stay in the Jiang family and not because you like me, right?”

Jiang Haoxuan’s eyes reddened as he spoke. All these years, he had been waiting for Sheng An’ning to turn around and realize how good he was.

He had been obedient with Sheng An’ning. He had been a spare tire for so long, but now he felt tired.

Jiang Haoxuan was disappointed to find that in Sheng An’ning’s heart, he was just a tool to stay in the Jiang family. There was no love at all.

Sheng An’ning didn’t understand what Jiang Haoxuan was being pretentious about. In the past, as long as she said to go east, Jiang Haoxuan wouldn’t dare to go west. Now that she had put down her pride and said that she was willing to marry him, why did Jiang Haoxuan have to be so picky?!

It must be because Su Wan’s best friend had hooked up with Jiang Haoxuan and caused him to change his mind!

“Haoxuan, it’s not what you think. I really like…”

Sheng An’ning took a shallow breath and was about to deny Jiang Haoxuan’s words, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by Jiang Haoxuan!

Jiang Haoxuan shook his head in disappointment. “You don’t have to say anymore.”

When Jiang Haoxuan’s words reached Sheng An’ning’s ears, she felt a fire burning in her heart!

The anger she had accumulated had reached its peak at this moment, and she felt a dull pain in her heart.

All of a sudden, Sheng An’ning felt her vision darken, and she fell stiffly to the side!
