CHAPTER 392: CHAPTER 400: LOVE IN THE CLOUDS (1)

The few people were just about to have dinner.

The table was full of steaming soups and dishes.

Charlotte Chester’s hand suddenly slapped into the fish soup, her perfectly made-up face hit the edge of the porcelain plate, and she was stunned for a second before she let out a piercing scream.

"Mom!"

Bob Ginger was startled and quickly rushed over to support her.

Aiden Jiang also froze for a moment, looking at her disheveled face, too angry to speak.

Zuri Ginger stood dumbfounded, glancing at Bob Ginger who was busy helping, then at the furious-looking Aiden Jiang, and finally at Koa Jackson who had a sardonic expression. She felt suffocated, layers of panic rising from her heart. With a thud, she knelt to the ground, tears pouring as she pleaded, "Dad, please don’t kick me out of the Ginger Family. It’s all my fault. Mom was only angry and accidentally slapped Mia Ginger too hard, she didn’t mean it. Please don’t be mad, don’t be mad, okay?"

"Hmph!" Aiden Jiang snorted angrily.

He did not respond.

How could he not be angry?!

In all his life, he had never been so furious!

First, he was angry with Zuri Ginger for harboring such a vicious intent to harm Mia Ginger, second, with Charlotte Chester for doing such cruel things to their poor daughter, and third, with Koa Jackson, a junior who kept questioning him?

He even seemed to have become Mia Ginger’s spokesperson?!

He indeed felt a deep sense of guilt and pity towards Mia Ginger, but this guilt shouldn’t lead him to destroy this family.

He just felt tired.

As the saying goes, "even a wise judge cannot settle family disputes," and for the first time, he felt unbearably tormented.

He could kick Zuri Ginger out of the family for Mia Ginger, and he could reprimand Charlotte Chester for her, but—

That’s as far as it went.

Koa Jackson repeatedly pressured him, but what he hoped for was certainly more than that.

Aiden Jiang figured this out and didn’t look at him anymore. He directly lowered his gaze to Mia Ginger, speaking softly, "It’s your father’s fault. Letting you be wronged repeatedly at home, whatever you want to do about Zuri Ginger, I won’t say a word. But..."

"Dad." Mia Ginger suddenly interrupted him.

Aiden Jiang looked at her expectantly.

"I understand." Mia Ginger looked at him, showing a smile of understanding yet reluctance, and said, "I’m the one who’s been causing chaos in this house. I’ll move out for a while."

"That’s not what Dad meant!"

"I understand that too." Mia Ginger looked at him, speaking quietly, "But this is the best solution."

Zuri Ginger held something over Charlotte, and as long as she was unwilling, she would surely find a way to stay in the Ginger Family. Charlotte was the mistress of the house and also a government official’s wife; naturally, Aiden Jiang couldn’t drive her out, let alone Bob Ginger.

He’s at a critical point in his studies, yet he’s constantly distracted by such troubling matters.

The only one she truly felt guilty towards was Bob Ginger.

He’s so kind that it makes her feel exceedingly cold and heartless by comparison.

Regardless of others, she had to think about this brother.

Moreover—

After all, Charlotte Chester is also her mother.

Seeing her hand and one side of her face red from the burn, Mia Ginger looked despondently and said to Koa Jackson, "I’ll go pack my things."

"Sister!"

Suddenly, Bob Ginger turned his head and called out to her.

His thick, heroic eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and his face was full of distress.

"I’m just going to stay somewhere else for a while, not leaving forever." Mia Ginger smiled at him and went upstairs.

Actually, there wasn’t much to pack.
