"She doesn't want you anymore?"
Jiang Chen was confused for a moment after hearing this. Then he remembered that their mother had found out about Ye Zi going to the Northwest and had thrown a huge fit.
At the time, she'd declared that she would act as if she'd never raised a daughter named Jiang Ye.
He had thought their mother was just saying it in a fit of anger.
He figured her anger would subside once his sister came back and acted cute to appease her.
But now...
A hint of worry flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes. He asked softly, "Have you already been home?"
Tears welled in Jiang Ye's almond-shaped eyes, the corners feeling cool as she bit her lower lip hard. "Yes. I went home, and Mom kicked me out. She told me to fend for myself from now on and that she won't give me another cent."
