Chapter 360: You’re Not My Father
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Si Cheng had almost no memories of before the age of five, so in his impression, his mother was taking care of him. He immediately believed Zheng Wen’s words.
“Do we really look alike?” Si Cheng asked excitedly.
Zheng Wen nodded. “You look very similar. 1 thought 1 was seeing you when you were young again.”
After Jiang An walked over, Jiang Yan and Jiang Huai carried the two children. Jiang Hai returned home after finishing his work and announced the official start of the banquet.
“Our entire family welcomes everyone’s arrival.” Jiang Hai raised his gla.s.s.
The guests naturally raised their gla.s.ses in response. The orchestra began to play after he put down his gla.s.s. The atmosphere in the entire banquet hall reached its peak.
It was rare for the Jiang family to hold a banquet, so they naturally couldn’t let the atmosphere turn cold. Some went to talk to the Jiang family, while others knew that they couldn’t talk to them, so they chatted with people they knew. Men and women held hands and walked onto the dance floor. The entire banquet hall was very lively.
Si Cheng hurriedly pulled his mother to look for Jiang An and the two children.
Zheng Wen walked over and said with a smile, “Let Grandma take a look at my two good grandchildren.”
Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi retreated to avoid Zheng Wen’s hand. Jiang Yu said, “Madam, we don’t know you.”
Zheng Wen’s smile froze on her face. “I’m your biological paternal grandmother. How can you say that you don’t know me?”
Jiang Yi added, “We don’t have a paternal grandmother. We’ve only seen our maternal grandmother since we were born.”
The children’s words caused a commotion in the banquet hall. Unexpectedly, these two children had never seen their grandmother before. This was too strange.
The children were not young anymore. Could it be that the Si family had never visited them after the divorce?
Wealthy families valued blood ties the most. Even if their parents divorced, their children would not be affected. If Si Cheng did not make a will, even if he got married and had other children in the future, he would have to give a portion of his inheritance to the two children.
Lady A sighed. “The Si family really thinks too highly of themselves. They don’t even care about the grandchildren of the Jiang family.”
This sentence simply spoke the thoughts of everyone else. With two children in the Si and Jiang families, they could be relatives. If it were anyone else, they would come and see the children often even if they were divorced. The Si family was too brainless.
At this moment, Si Cheng quickly pulled Zheng Wen back and said, “Grandma couldn’t come to see you because of her poor health. Daddy will apologize to you on her behalf, okay?”
He wanted to quickly muddle through this matter and not let Si Qin and the others laugh at him.
However, Jiang Yu sized up Si Cheng and said, “You’re not my father. I’ve never seen you before.”
“How is that possible? 1 was playing with you at the amus.e.m.e.nt park some time ago,” Si Cheng said.
Jiang Yi shook his head. “At that time, my mother booked the amus.e.m.e.nt park. You sneaked in and were thrown out.”
Si Qin and Si Lin, who were standing at the side, almost laughed out loud. They thought that Si Cheng and Jiang An had reconciled, but they didn’t expect him to be imagining it.
The Jiang family clearly did not like Si Cheng, and the two children did not think that he was their father. It seemed that remarriage was just empty talk.
Si Cheng looked at Jiang An in panic. “An’an, don’t you care that the children are being naughty?”
“Don’t call me that.” Jiang An’s expression was cold. “Please call me Miss Jiang. We’re not close enough for you to call me by my nickname. This is very rude.”
“I know you hate me for divorcing you, but the children are still here. If you have any dissatisfaction, let’s go home and talk,” Si Cheng said very affectionately.
Jiang An was really puzzled as to why Si Cheng was so thick-skinned. He had already said so much, but he could still have such an att.i.tude.
“Divorcing you was the best decision I’ve made in my life.” Jiang An’s voice became louder and louder. “After all, 1 married you back then to repay the Tan family for raising me. They didn’t want to marry Tan Si to you, because you were in a vegetative state at that time. That’s why I married you on her behalf and took care of you for so long.”
“After that, when you woke up, you went out with Tan Si. You were the one who let me down. Of course, 1 had to leave. Even now, I’m glad that I made the choice to get a divorce. 1 don’t have to continue this disgusting marriage.”
This shocked everyone. They didn’t know that there was such a thing behind Jiang An and Si Cheng’s marriage. The Tan and Si families didn’t want the news of the subst.i.tute marriage to spread, so they tacitly agreed to let Jiang An marry over.
They did not expect Jiang An to mention this in public. It was simply a slap to their faces in front of everyone.
Zheng Wen could not take it anymore and rushed out. “Stop spouting nonsense here..”
