The Heiress Acts Mischievously, But Her Family Can Read Her Mind

Chapter 289: Chapter 289 I Believe Her

Everyone in the Jiang Family turned their heads towards the door.

Mrs. Jiang looked puzzled when she saw Chu Muxi, her expression quickly turned unnatural, and she glanced at Jiang Nanshu fleetingly before averting her gaze.

Mr. Jiang frowned deeply, his eyes filled with displeasure as he looked at Mrs. Jiang, as if asking, “Why did your friend bring her daughter here to cause a scene?”

Jiang Yunchuan’s mouth fell slightly agape, obviously taken aback as well. He turned to Jiang Zhouye beside him, “What nonsense is Chu Muxi spouting here? How could she mix up her parents right at our doorstep? Isn’t her mother right beside her?”

Jiang Zhouye was somewhat speechless, “God knows what’s wrong with her, Yiyi, did your friend damage her brain when she fell into the water?”

Jiang Leyi: “…”

She hesitated before saying, “Actually, I haven’t been in contact with her for a long time, I don’t know what her situation is.”

Jiang Yisen cast a cold glance at Chu Muxi, his eyes brimming with impatience.

He just wanted to have a nice meal, why was it so hard?

“Housekeeper Qian, have someone throw this lunatic out.”

Chu Muxi struggled free from Housekeeper Qian’s grip, “Brother, it’s me, it’s me.”

Pointing to her own face, Chu Muxi said, “I am Nanshu.”

Jiang Yisen: “?”

Fang Minghe: “?”

He looked at Jiang Yisen, hesitating to ask, “Is this a special segment for your family gathering? Like… cosplay?”

Jiang Yisen: “…”

Seeing his startled look, Fang Minghe pursed his lips, “Maybe next time find someone who looks more similar, otherwise it feels like watching a circus.”

This Chu Muxi clearly had nothing to do with Jiang Nanshu.

Only Jiang Jingcheng and Jian Hemian, the two brothers, were very composed at the dining table.

Because they were the first victims to experience Chu Muxi’s mad antics.

And as they guessed, Chu Muxi was bound to show up at their door.

They just never expected that Chu Muxi would come to them with her mother in tow.

Chu Xin had a stiff smile when she came in, now she couldn’t even force a smile.

She wanted to pull Chu Muxi away, but Chu Muxi didn’t give her the chance to get close, leaving her stuck at the entrance of the Jiang Family house, not knowing whether to enter or leave.

Jiang Jingcheng, holding his knife and fork cutting his steak, didn’t even spare Chu Muxi a glance.

Jian Hemian, seeing him enjoying his meal, propped his chin with his hand and asked, “Second brother, what should we do in this situation? She annoys me, like a lingering ghost that never ends.”

Jiang Jingcheng elegantly chewed and swallowed before replying, “Wait and see.”

“Alright then,” Jian Hemian resignedly smiled and continued to watch the drama unfold.

Only Jiang Nanshu narrowed his eyes, meeting Chu Muxi’s hateful gaze, identical to that of the transcender, and a bold guess emerged—could that thing have taken over Chu Muxi’s body?

It was said that Chu Muxi had drowned but managed to climb up by herself.

However, Chu Muxi couldn’t swim at all; falling in would mean death without rescue.

In an instant, Jiang Nanshu understood.

She thought that the transcender was long eradicated, but unexpectedly, like an indestructible cockroach, it had returned to wreak havoc again.

She narrowed her eyes dangerously, the smile on her lips fleeting as she looked around the dining table, bewildered, “What’s wrong with Sister Xixi? Why does she need to come to our house to recognize her family? Isn’t her mom right beside her?” Then she turned her head incredulously towards Mr. Jiang, “Dad, she’s actually your and Aunt Chu’s illegitimate daughter, isn’t she?”

Mr. Jiang almost choked on his saliva and coughed violently, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

[Hmm? Then why does she call you Dad? And she brought Chu Xin along. Isn’t this an overt ‘forcing the palace’? Is Ms. Song stepping down to let others take over?]

Mrs. Jiang, who knew about the truth, looked at Chu Muxi’s reddened eyes and suddenly felt a pang of pity.

Seeing that Housekeeper Qian was about to throw her out,

she couldn’t help but speak, “Everyone stop, since they are here, they are guests. There’s no reason to throw them out, let them come in.”

“Have you gone mad?” Mr. Jiang slammed the table.

Mrs. Jiang seemed to have an unspeakable burden, her tone lowered, “I’ll explain it to you later, but if you drive her away, you’ll regret it.”

Mr. Jiang glared, his eyes bulging.

He only regretted that there were too few bodyguards at home; driving someone out had become such a struggle.

Seeing that Housekeeper Qian hadn’t moved,

Mrs. Jiang walked over and pulled Chu Muxi to her side.

“Wuwuwu, Mom, I’ve missed you so much. You have no idea how I’ve survived these past two months without you.” Ignoring the strange looks from everyone around, Chu Muxi tightly embraced Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang felt awkward, especially with Chu Xin right there, making her even more uncomfortable.

In her mind, she started to blame, wondering how this person could be so thoughtless, very much like her previous daughter.

Chu Xin, having known Mrs. Jiang for many years, could tell from her subtle expressions whether she was in a good mood or not.

Now Mrs. Jiang’s mood was quite bad, and if this situation continued, she might start disliking Chu Muxi.

So she stepped forward, separating Chu Muxi from her, sighing, “Shuling, Xixi is also someone you’ve watched grow up since she was young. Ever since she fell into the pond, she has hurt her brain and keeps babbling that her home is here. I couldn’t stand up to her and had to bring her here. The doctor said indulging her would help her condition…”

Chu Muxi immediately glared, “Nonsense! I think you just can’t bear to see me living a prosperous life. Just like before, you’re despicable, always comparing me to Chu Muxi. Now that your precious daughter is dead, everyone’s happy!”

Chu Xin was furious, and if it wasn’t for the face of her daughter in front of her, she would have slapped her without hesitation.

Her heart was bitter—her lovely daughter, how had she become so foolish.

Chu Muxi’s gaze immediately fixed on Jiang Nanshu, who was elegantly dressed and as beautiful as a delicate flower.

She sat in the middle like a star surrounded by moons, her brothers around her, all getting along cheerfully. Jiang Nanshu was like a born protagonist, attracting everyone’s attention.

Seeing Jiang Nanshu also looking at her, she nearly bit through her silver teeth.

This was originally her body, only because of that jumping into the river incident had she found an opportunity.

“You thief, give me back my body, you fake! Why should you enjoy the love of my family?” She was livid.

Mrs. Jiang couldn’t help but look over; Jiang Nanshu was very calm.

She slightly raised her eyebrows, her red lips parted slightly, “What do you mean ‘give it back to you’? This body has always belonged to me. My surname is Jiang, and your surname is Chu. You should be running to a psychiatric hospital, not disturbing someone else’s dinner.”

“Aunt Chu, I have collected information on quite a few decent psychiatric hospitals here. She’s like this and yet not intervening, what are we waiting for?” Jiang Nanshu turned and spoke to Chu Xin.

[How is she back again? And exposing me publicly, so eager to take over?]

[Sigh, I wonder how my family will treat her when they know the truth?]

[The truth… never mind, let’s not talk about that now, I won’t let go of my family!]

Everyone’s expressions were calm, only Mrs. Jiang struggled for a long time, and then suddenly grabbed Chu Muxi’s hand, solemnly saying, “I believe her!”
