Jiang Nansun found that his mother did not come home at night, and he became more and more worried, so he took out his mobile phone and called his best friend Zhu Suosuo.
The two of them used to be classmates and have known each other for more than ten years. There are some things that even boyfriends cannot say, but there are no secrets between best friends.
"Susuao, my dad wants to divorce my mom." Jiang Nansun almost cried on the phone.
"Don't uncle and aunt always have a good relationship?" Zhu Suosuo asked strangely.
"I don't know either. Today my dad and my aunt had a quarrel, and for some reason the topic of divorce came up. My dad's attitude was very firm."
Zhu Suosuo thought for a moment and said, "Did uncle say something angry? My uncle and aunt often quarrel. They talk about divorce every time. They haven't seen the divorce for so many years."
"Really?"
"My Princess Jiang, don't worry. Divorce is not that simple. Tomorrow you will persuade your father. When his anger subsides, you can be a peacemaker and the husband and wife will quarrel at the end of the bed." Zhu Suosuo consoled him.
"Suosuo, are you free tomorrow? Can you come to my house to stay with me?" Jiang Nansun said softly.
"Where is your Zhang Anren? He won't accompany you?" Zhu Suosuo asked strangely.
"It's not convenient for him to come to my house, and I don't want him to come either." Jiang Nansun explained.
"Okay! I'll come over early tomorrow morning. Whatever breakfast you want, I'll bring it over on the way."
"You don't need to bring breakfast, aunt will make it."
"I even forgot that you are Princess Jiang and you can't have anything you want for breakfast." Zhu Suosuo said sourly.
"What princess! Have you ever seen the princess who lives in the attic?"
The two best friends chatted until late at night before hanging up the phone, and Jiang Nansun was in a better mood.
When Jiang Nansun got up the next day, he found that his mother had not returned home all night, and his father seemed to have been busy in the study all night and did not go to bed until early in the morning.
Zhu Suosuo came to Jiang's house early in the morning and brought three pieces of breakfast.
When Jiang's mother saw Zhu Suosuo, she was polite and asked her to have breakfast with her.
"Grandma Jiang, I remember that you like Xiao Yangji's pan-fried buns the most. I went to line up early in the morning and bought a few baskets." Zhu Suosuo said sweetly to Mother Jiang.
"I only mentioned it once, but you can still remember it now and you are interested." Mother Jiang said with a smile.
"Grandma Jiang, the fried dumplings won't taste good when they are cold." Zhu Suosuo put the bag on the table, and Mother Jiang frowned slightly.
"Nansun, take the fried food to the kitchen and ask Auntie to put it on a plate, and ask your father to come down for dinner." Jiang's mother turned to Jiang Nansun and said.
Zhu Suosuo had been fostered in his uncle's house since he was a child. He was very good at looking down on others. He knew that Jiang's mother had strict rules, especially when eating, he should not be careless when eating, and plastic bags should not be served on the table.
"I'll take it to the kitchen. Nan Sun, go call your uncle!" Zhu Suosuo picked up the bag again, and then used a paper towel to wipe off the oil stains on the table.
Mother Jiang frowned and said to Zhu Suosuo: "Suosuo, you are a guest, so let Nansun go!"
"Suosuo is not an outsider, it's okay." Jiang Nansun said nonchalantly.
Mother Jiang nodded and no longer insisted.
Zhu Suosuo and Jiang Nansun worked separately and quickly put the fried pans on the plate and brought them to the table.
Wang Gang went downstairs after washing up and saw Zhu Suosuo busy at work.
"The lock is here!"
"Uncle Jiang, good morning."
"Hurry up and take a seat, how can I keep you busy as a guest!" Wang Gang said politely.
"It's okay, I help my aunt with work at home, I'm used to it." Zhu Suosuo said with a smile.
Wang Gang glanced at Jiang Nansun, who had already sat down and was about to eat, and couldn't help but shook his head.
"Pengfei, please take a seat quickly! I'm waiting for you," Mother Jiang said.
Zhu Suosuo asked strangely: "Don't you have to wait for Auntie?"
Mother Jiang said in a deep voice: "No need to wait, she didn't come back last night."
Jiang Nansun explained for his mother: "My mother stayed at my aunt's house yesterday. She said she hadn't seen her for a long time and wanted to catch up on old times."
Mother Jiang snorted coldly and said: "Some people's hearts are not at home, and there is no point in forcing them."
Zhu Suosuo sat aside with his mouth closed, feeling that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the dinner table.
At first, she thought her best friend's parents were just quarreling, but this didn't look like it!
Wang Gang coughed and said to Zhu Suosuo: "Suosuo, please use your chopsticks quickly. You're welcome. Just treat it like your own home."
The Jiang family's breakfast is very rich, with milk bread, porridge and fried dough sticks, and Chinese and Western styles on the round table. You can choose what you want to eat.
Just one breakfast is enough for an ordinary family to eat three meals a day.
The Jiang family won't keep any food they can't finish.
The breakfast was rather boring. Although the Jiang family did not have a rule of not eating or sleeping, the people sitting there were not in the mood to chat.
When Wang Gang was about to finish eating, he suddenly said to Jiang Nansun: "I found a violin teacher for you and he will come home in the afternoon."
Jiang Nansun frowned, feeling a little disgusted.
From childhood to adulthood, Jiang's father raised Jiang Nansun as a noble lady and took a lot of courses in music and painting, but rarely asked Jiang Nansun about her own wishes.
"Dad, I don't want to learn." Jiang Nansun put down his chopsticks and said.
Mother Jiang glanced slightly, lowered her head to drink her porridge and said nothing.
"Why don't you want to learn?" Wang Gang asked.
"I have to prepare for the Ph.D. exam, so I don't have time." Jiang Nansun made a random excuse.
"Okay, I'll cancel the course." Wang Gang nodded, but did not insist.
Jiang Nansun was slightly surprised, when did his father become so easy to talk to?
"Since you want to continue your studies, then study hard and come back with a doctorate." Wang Gang put down his bowls and chopsticks and said:
"Don't worry about your mother and I. Even if we get divorced, we are still your parents."
Jiang Nansun said in confusion: "Dad, why do you have to divorce mom?"
Wang Gang sighed, glanced at Zhu Suosuo, and said: "Suosuo is not an outsider, so I won't hide it from you.
My investment failed and I am going bankrupt."
"Ah!" Zhu Suosuo's jaw almost dropped from the table in surprise, thinking that my uncle really doesn't treat me as an outsider! How dare he tell an outsider such a thing!
Jiang Nansun was not surprised. She knew who her father was better than anyone else.
"Did you lose a lot this time?"
In the past, when Jiang Pengfei's investment failed, Jiang's mother took the blame, so Jiang Nansun was not very anxious.
Wang Gang sighed and said: "Our house has been mortgaged, and we may have to change our living environment in the future."
Jiang Nansun was really shocked now and couldn't help but look at grandma.
Yesterday Wang Gang had an affair with Jiang's mother, so she naturally knew what to do.
"What your dad said is true."
Jiang Nansun's face darkened and he asked: "How bad is the situation!"
Wang Gang pretended to be serious and said: "At most, my family will bear the cost of your PhD study. After your mother and I divorce, I will have to find a job to pay off the debt."
Jiang Nansun was struck by lightning. Her father had never worked in his life, and it was impossible for him to work for others unless he had to.
"Does my mother know?" Jiang Nansun asked.
"She should know something." Wang Gang said quietly.
"I'll go find my mother." Jiang Nansun couldn't sit still anymore.
Zhu Suosuo was worried that something might happen to his best friend, so he quickly stood up and said, "I'll go with you!"
Jiang Nansun nodded and quickly left Jiang's house with Zhu Suosuo.
"Do you need to tell Nansun?" Mother Jiang waited for Jiang Nansun to leave before saying.
"Husband and wife are birds of the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly away separately. It would be good for Nansun to recognize her mother's true face." Wang Gang took a sip of porridge and said.
Mother Jiang looked at Wang Gang suspiciously and felt that something had changed in her son.
Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo took a taxi to Dai Qian's house. When they entered the door, they asked their mother: "The family is going bankrupt, did you know?"
Dai Yin was shocked when he heard this and said, "Who did you hear that the family is going bankrupt?!"
"My dad said it himself, and he said you knew it too?" Jiang Nansun yelled strangely.
Dai Qian asked her sister in confusion: "Is the Jiang family really going bankrupt?"
"I don't know either. I just know that my family's financial situation has really deteriorated and Jiang Pengfei has no money to buy me gems."
Dai Qian said coldly: "Could he deliberately deceive Nansun because he didn't want to pay for the divorce?"
Jiang Nansun said anxiously: "My father is a man who values face the most, and he won't talk nonsense about this kind of thing."
Dai Yin's eyes flickered, and Dai Qian said at this time: "I will contact Ye Jinyan immediately and ask him to help investigate. This kind of thing cannot be hidden from anyone."
"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Dai Yin said.
"Mom, if my dad is really bankrupt, will you divorce her?" Jiang Nansun held his mother's hand and asked.
Dai Yin shook his head and said, "I'm in a mess right now. Don't ask me questions like this."
Jiang Nansun's heart sank. Although his mother didn't say it clearly, the meaning was obvious.
Ye Jinyan is very energetic in the Demon City, and it doesn't take much time to check one person, not to mention the Jiang family's situation is not difficult to check.
Dai Qian quickly hung up the phone, walked over with a dark face, and said to her sister Dai Yin: "Jiang Pengfei is not only going bankrupt, he also owes tens of millions outside, and his old house is mortgaged!"
"What!?" Dai Yin's vision went dark and she felt a little dizzy.
