Jiang Wan shook the bracelet on her wrist. “This pink diamond bracelet is beautiful! It’s even better than the pictures in magazines! The price of this bracelet is 10 million yuan though. Big Brother, you were actually willing to give up that kind of money!”
“I was getting you a gift. There’s no use being stingy,” Jiang Cheng Lang said affectionately. “I am glad you like it.”
“I love it! I love it! I love it! Big Brother, I loved it so much I wanted to put it on immediately!” Jiang Wan cooed. “Thank you, Big Brother!”
Under the lights, the bracelet of pink diamonds shined and sparkled. It was sure to excite any girl’s heart.
Jiang Yu felt indifferent to it though. She was used to seeing this kind of thing in her original world. She had even given away many of them. She had become numb to this sort of thing.
Right on cue, Jiang Wan turned and asked, “Sister, what’s your gift? Big Brother must have got you a gift as well. Can I see it?”
“You can come up and take a look.”
Jiang Yu went up to her room with Jiang Wan in tow. Jiang Cheng Lang followed them, he was curious as to how Jiang Yu would react to his gift.
In the room, Jiang Yu opened the gift in front of them. Inside laid a jade necklace.
She already knew the plot of this story and wasn’t surprised.
Instead, it was Jiang Wan who cried in surprise, “Oh my! I’ve seen this necklace in a magazine. It’s worth millions! I remember it was around three million, right?”
She turned to Jiang Cheng Lang and said, “Big Brother, you really are generous to Big Sister! Big Sister must be very touched!”
She gave Jiang Cheng Lang a quick thumbs up and turned around to stare at Jiang Yu, waiting for her reaction.
Jiang Wan could not have been more obvious, only a fool could miss her signal.
According to the book, Jiang Wan was awkward when she first met her big brother. She was worried that he would not like her.
Her character was originally sensitive and fragile. When she found out that Jiang Cheng Lang had returned from his trip and brought her a gift, she was overcome with joy. However, she found out that Jiang Cheng Lang had given Jiang Wan a bracelet worth 10 million, and the necklace she got was only one-third it’s value. Her world slowly fell apart.
Jiang Wan even tried to smooth over the situation and stuck up for Jiang Cheng Lang. It was obvious that she was trying to cover everything up.
From Jiang Yu’s point of view, she should have been very grateful that Jiang Cheng Lang even bought her a gift at all since she had only just returned to the Jiang family. She shouldn’t be caring about the price of the gift. After all, it was a sincere token from her big brother.
If there had been no comparison, she could have stayed happy but Jiang Yu watched as Jiang Wan wore the bracelet to school. She loved showing off the gift she got from her brother. Jiang Yu was too ashamed to wear the jade necklace out of the house.
Jiang Cheng Lang noticed that she never wore the necklace and assumed that she did not like it. At first, he thought that his tastes just didn’t suit her. Jiang Wan later commented to him that Jiang Yu seems to be avoiding them. Jiang Cheng Lang took this as a sign that she had a problem with the Jiang family. He distanced himself even further from his sister after that.
As an older brother, he only needed to do his filial duty to her. There was no need for him to go out of his way to please his sister.
Later on in the story, under Jiang Wan’s scheming, Jiang Yu made some awful mistakes that led everyone to lose confidence and trust in her.
In the end, she blamed herself and regretted everything that had happened. She fell into a deep depression and eventually committed suicide.
