Chapter 87: Inadequate Father

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

She was an orphan. That was why she had empathy for him and felt sorry for him.

The sky slowly brightened. Song Jiaren carefully carried the sleeping child back to his room and placed him on the bed. She gently covered him with a blanket.

Jiang Chang, his little face covered in tears, gripped her sleeve tightly. Even when he was asleep, his brows were tightly knitted together. He was very uneasy. She didn’t know what he had endured these nights all these years.

Song Jiaren slowly pulled away her sleeves and walked out of the room.

The moment she left, Jiang Cang opened his eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling. He didn’t ask Song Jiaren to stay. In his mind, everyone would leave him eventually. He was already used to it.

When Song Jiaren arrived outside the door, she saw Jiang Linan standing there stiffly. “Aren’t you going to go in and see him?” she asked in a soft voice. She asked this because she saw the struggle and heartache in his eyes. It seemed like this man cared about his son.

Jiang Linan shuffled his feet and turned around to head downstairs. “There’s no need for that. He probably doesn’t want to see an incompetent father like me either.”

Infuriated, Song Jiaren rushed up and grabbed his collar. “How did you know? You didn’t ask him yourself. How did you know he didn’t miss his father? How did you know he didn’t want to see you?”

The two of them stood on the stairs. The narrow space was filled with hostility and anger.

Jiang Linan wanted to retort, but upon seeing the rage on her face, he had nothing to say, and a hint of pain appeared on his face. “Since you guys gave birth to him, you have the responsibility to love him. If you don’t love him, why did you let him be born in the first place?” It was unknown if Song Jiaren had thought of herself or if she was just feeling injustice for Jiang Cang, but her voice was trembling. “I—”Jiang Linan wanted to say something, but he paused when he saw the person walking out from behind her. Song Jiaren sensed something and turned around. She saw Jiang Cang standing at the door and looking at them coldly.

Jiang Linan looked at him and suddenly said, “He’s a jinx. Him being locked up here is the best for everyone.” He then left.

Song Jiaren didn’t expect him to say such words. She subconsciously turned her head and saw Jiang Cang’s eyes reddening. His face was pale as he pursed his lips.

“Jiang Cang, you—”Before Song Jiaren could finish her sentence, a loud bang was heard and Jiang Cang slammed the door shut.

Song Jiaren looked at the tightly shut door and then at Jiang Linan, who had already walked to the door. After a moment of hesitation, she followed Jiang Linan out.

She had just walked out when she saw Jiang Linan waiting for her. “Didn’t you leave?” she asked angrily.

Jiang Linan had a cold expression on his face. He really did look a little similar to Jiang Cang. “Do you want to know what’s inside that warehouse?” Jiang Linan looked toward the warehouse as he spoke. Song Jiaren’s eyes narrowed as she quickly asked, “Do you know what’s inside?” After asking, she felt that she was being a little silly. How could someone who had the ability to hide her identity from Old Master Jiang know nothing about the Jiang family? “It’s full of drugs,” Jiang Linan said directly. Song Jiaren was startled. Such a huge warehouse was filled with drugs. The astonishing amount of drugs stored in this warehouse was enough to destroy the Jiang family.

Jiang Linan glanced at her. “Don’t even think about it. Since they dared to place so many drugs in the Jiang family, it means that they definitely have people working for them in the government.

Song Li thought about it and agreed. If it was really that easy to trip the Jiang family, Jiang Linan would probably be the first to make a move. “Why do you want to deal with the Jiang Clan?” Song Jiaren asked.
