Chapter 1068 Jiang Nansun, possessed by He Chen, went all out in a face-to-face confrontation!

Jiang Nansun's mother has been persuaded.

But still the same sentence.

It's hard for people to leave their comfort zone; this is the psychological basis for the success of the "boiling frog" phenomenon.

Therefore, while she was thinking about divorce, there was still a time when she felt it was the right moment to actually talk about it, so she kept putting it off.

Jiang Nansun also felt that she should do something, at least to find out what the situation was like at home.

However, as a junior member of the family, she had no say at home. Even though she had a strong urge to expose the truth about the family situation, she still endured it again and again.

On this day, the old lady of the Jiang family celebrated her birthday. Looking at the huge private room, which was empty except for the four of them, and then the waiter brought out more than a dozen dishes in a row, Jiang Nansun could no longer bear it when she thought of He Chen's sarcastic reminder.

"Grandma, this is too much!"

"Is that too much?" Old Mrs. Jiang said unhappily, "A birthday celebration should at least have this much: four cold dishes, eight hot stir-fries, three desserts, and a bowl of noodles. If you don't even have that, you might as well not celebrate at all!"

“Of course, of course, Mom!” Jiang Pengfei replied immediately.

He had actually forgotten his mother's birthday and was busy following his sister-in-law's advice to try and find connections to see if he could get through the crisis.

However, his half-brother Xu Zhisen, whom he still vaguely remembered, was still in the United States and was completely out of his reach.

As for the one who lived nearby, near Shanghai, he had never met her before. He shamelessly went to find her and discovered that she did indeed look very much like him.

But the other party didn't recognize him at all.

He wanted to pester the other person relentlessly, but the look in the other person's eyes made him dare not be presumptuous. After all, he had already found out that the other person was the CEO of a leading local enterprise and had a lot of influence.

If he had the guts to confront the other party, he wouldn't have to worry about those who lent him money coming back for it.

They're not even in the same league!

So he returned dejectedly, knelt down at his mother's feet again, trying to coax her to give him more money. Then he was reminded that it was his mother's birthday, and only then did he remember to hold this birthday party.

In this situation, he certainly couldn't refuse his mother's request.

"Nan Sun, every family has its own troubles!" The old lady of the Jiang family looked at her granddaughter and reminded her with a smile, "That's why we have to get together once a year. Even if we can't eat, we have to order sixteen dishes. That's how we show that our family is together!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jiang Pengfei immediately clapped his hands and cheered, "Mom, you're right! I want to order 17 more dishes, 1, 7, 1, 7, all together, all together, let's all eat together!"

These words pleased the old lady greatly.

But Jiang Nansun couldn't laugh and retorted, "Grandma, whether a family is together or not depends on their hearts, not on sixteen dishes!"
These two things are completely unrelated!
Moreover, we always eat so much food that we can't finish it all. It's a waste of food and shows a lack of appreciation for our blessings!
Besides, everyone knows what our family's situation is right now.

We must be frugal where possible!

"Nan Sun, how dare you speak like that at your grandmother's birthday banquet!" Jiang Pengfei was constantly watching his mother's expression, determined to make her happy tonight so he could get money out of her, so he scolded his daughter.

"What do you mean by wasting food and not cherishing blessings? Have you been brainwashed by that poor kid Zhang Anren?"
"Does a family like ours need to be as stingy as him?"

"I'm stating the facts!" Jiang Nansun felt uneasy at the thought of He Chen's disdain for those who were poor and wasted food. Seeing his father, who had caused all this, still pretending to be a filial son, he could no longer tolerate it.

"Anyone who wastes food is not appreciating blessings! Grandma, please don't blame me for being harsh, I don't mean anything by it, I just don't believe in any rules or regulations."

You also came from that special era. Back then, let alone the necessary rules and formalities, even getting a full meal must have been difficult, right?
Didn't we get through it?

Having one or two good dishes would definitely make for the best birthday or even Chinese New Year celebration. Why not just have at least sixteen dishes and not celebrate at all?

These words made Old Mrs. Jiang's face turn gloomy, and she was speechless.

Her so-called rules were utter nonsense in that particular era. She wouldn't even dare to say them out loud, let alone actually follow them.

Do not!
She didn't even dare to think about it in her dreams, lest she say it out loud.

Those were the most painful years for someone like her, and the memories she least wanted to recall and the ones she most wanted to erase.

Now that so many years have passed, she has almost forgotten those memories. Deep down, she feels that she has always lived a life of wealth and honor, but now her granddaughter has directly exposed this fact. How can she accept this?

Just like her son Jiang Pengfei, she also felt that it must be that poor boy He Chen who had brainwashed her granddaughter, making her view her behavior from the perspective of a poor person.

This not only angered her, but also terrified her.

Because this perspective was the same one that caused her pain back then.

Jiang Nansun didn't pay much attention to her grandmother's reaction. After speaking, she immediately looked at her father, who was about to scold her, and said, "Dad, it's not that I've been brainwashed by him, but that he has inspired me and made me see the truth."

What is our family now?
Are you still immersed in a false bubble of wealth and unwilling to wake up?
Don't they know that this bubble of wealth is about to burst?
You should know this better than anyone else!

Tell Grandma, tell Mom, tell me, does our Jiang family really not need to be so stingy?
"Does our family still have the money to support this kind of lifestyle?"

These words immediately shocked everyone else in the Jiang family.

None of them expected that Jiang Nansun, the granddaughter who should have had the least say, would now seem like the head of the family, as if she wanted to hold a family meeting.

Jiang Nansun calmly faced their gazes, which ranged from shock and anger to suspicion and uncertainty.

That's right!

She just wanted to hold a family meeting.

These days, she has thought a lot. In the past, she might have been like Princess Jiang in the book, only caring about her own peaceful life and not caring about the decline and ruin of her family.

Just like Jia Baoyu in Dream of the Red Chamber said: "No matter what the family's situation is, they will not shortchange us on our expenses, so why should we care!"

Princess Jiang and she had the same idea before.

But now she feels she has to do something. Not to turn the tide, but at least to figure out what's going on in her family and prevent things from getting worse.

Then she tried to find a way to clean up the boils and eat thin porridge to nourish her body. As long as the family was doing alright, she felt that simple meals were fine.

The saying "love conquers all" might be an extreme view.

However, don't go to the extreme and think that only when four people eat at least sixteen dishes can it symbolize a family being together.

As for what her father said about her being brainwashed by He Chen?

Isn't it the same as her being possessed by He Chen?

But isn't it normal that after being persuaded by He Chen, she acts as if possessed by him, following his words and actions?
This only shows that she and He Chen have a very close relationship.

She took it as her father's blessing to her and He Chen that he could see and say this!
