Chapter 335: Embrace
Qiao Pei hid this secret for more than ten years, and secretly sent some money to Qiao Hui during this time.
Qiao Pei has never been allowed to meddle in the economic power of the Jiang family, and in order to prevent the Jiang family from discovering the abnormal funds, the number and amount of money sent are not much.
Later, the communication gradually became convenient, Qiao Hui moved, and Qiao Pei asked for Qiao Hui's mobile phone number at that time.
Qiao Pei abandoned her child without saying goodbye, and even after being cut off for many years, Qiao Hui found it difficult to forgive her sister, and she was not rare Qiao Pei's stinky money, saying that she could afford to raise the child, since she herself chose to abandon the child, she had already decided to cut off the mother-daughter relationship with her, so from now on, don't look for the child, don't disturb her life.
The money that Qiao Pei once sent to Qiao Hui, she put it in her passbook, and later used it for Jiang Ruo's tuition and interest classes.
After this secret was sealed for more than ten years, Qiao Pei's status in the Jiang family was stable, and with the continuous development and progress of the scientific and technological era, it was very easy to do a paternity test.
But the reason why she still hesitated was that if Jiang Ruo was really Jiang Xingzhang's child, then how would she explain to him that she had concealed the birth of the child at the beginning.
Jiang Xingzhang was not stupid, knowing that she had met Fang Nan during that time, he would definitely suspect that she had a relationship with Fang Nan after thinking about it.
If Jiang Ruo was indeed Jiang Xingzhang's, Qiao Pei would not give her the child easily when she thought back to Qiao Hui's tone and attitude on the phone. In this way, her concealment of her family background will also be revealed.
It takes countless lies to tell a lie, and if she doesn't think of a perfect statement, Jiang Qiying will definitely be the first to jump out and question her intentions.
But more than ten years have passed, and she sometimes thinks about how the child is doing, and now the idea of recognizing her comes up from time to time, and then Qiao Pei secretly hired a private detective to let people investigate the current situation of Cheng Dong and Qiao Hui, and then secretly take photos of Jiang Ru.
On the day when the private detective went to Qiao Pei's hometown, news came, saying that the Cheng family was having a hard time now, Cheng Dong owed huge debts, the Cheng family was poor, and Jiang Ruo's junior high school grades were originally among the best, but later due to family changes, his grades plummeted, and he barely went to the best local high school, and his grades were not very good.
In the few phone calls between Qiao Pei and Qiao Hui, Qiao Hui did not reveal the difficulties of the Cheng family.
After hearing about the situation of the Cheng family, she was even more determined to take Jiang Ruo away.
At the end of school in the afternoon, the detective sent a photo of Jiang Ruo again, and at the same time pretended that a passerby collided with Jiang Ruo and pulled one of her hair and took her away.
Qiao Pei looked at Jiang Ruo's appearance, more like her, faintly with Jiang Xingzhang's shadow, even if it was not obvious, but definitely not like Fang Nan.
After that, she asked the detective to bring back her hair, and she also took Jiang Xingzhang's hair here and sent it for paternity testing.
A few days later, she received an anonymous email.
The sender is Fang Nan.
Fang's family officially declared bankruptcy ten years ago, and the family moved to Philadelphia, USA.
Fang Nan looked for her this time for money.
Fang Nan sent an attachment in the email, all of which were photos taken during his relationship with Qiao Pei, and there was even an exact time on the photo, which was the time when Qiao Pei and Jiang Xingzhang broke up and ran away from home.
Fang Nan asked Qiao Pei to give him 20 million, and asked Qiao Pei to take Jiang Xingzhang and her son Jiang Zhan to her hometown Yunzhou City, and when she got to the place, he told her what to do next.
If she dared to call the police, or play tricks, he would send these photos to Jiang Qiying, and tell the Jiang family that she also gave birth to a daughter, because she was worried that she was not Jiang Xingzhang's child, so she abandoned it.
Qiao Pei panicked immediately, if this matter let Jiang Qiying know, she would definitely not be able to eat and walk around, if she arrived in Yunzhou City, she confessed to Jiang Xingzhang again, maybe Jiang Xingzhang would forgive her, help her think of a statement that Jiang Qiying could believe, and then use the power of the Jiang family to ask for Jiang Ruo from Qiao Hui's side.
So there was the fact that Qiao Pei took her husband and son's family to Yunzhou City to travel and visit relatives. And Jiang Qiying thought that Yunzhou City was her hometown, and she would not be suspicious.
Qiao Pei was originally afraid that Fang Nan would play tricks and wanted Jiang Xingzhang to bring bodyguards, but after thinking about it, he couldn't show any abnormalities at this time, if he went out to play and also brought bodyguards, what would Jiang Qiying think?
Moreover, Fang Nan has no money and no power now, and if he wants to make a profit by defrauding money, he shouldn't have the ability to hurt them.
All this was ruined because Qiao Pei was unguarded.
After arriving in Yunzhou City, she received a new instruction from Fang Nan, asking her to ask Jiang Xingzhang to prepare 20 million and all the checks, and give it to him when she arrived.
Fang Nan was cautious, and did not tell her the address to pay the money at this time.
Qiao Pei couldn't hide it anymore, and told the truth and the truth, including her own life experience, including Jiang Ruo's existence.
Fortunately, she received the results of the paternity test that morning, and Jiang Ruo was indeed Jiang Xingzhang's child.
No one knows what Jiang Xingzhang's reaction was after hearing the truth, and it was Qiao Pei's guess that he was willing to lie for her.
Otherwise, he would not have prepared the money as Fang Nan said, and took his wife and children to Qiunan County, Yunzhou City.
Jiang Xingzhang felt different at first, and asked Qiao Pei to discuss with Fang Nan if he could change places.
Fang Nan was unwilling, saying that he was afraid that they would call the police, and he would be easily caught.
Jiang Xingzhang probably understood the reason why Fang Nan chose the place to pay the money in Chunan County, because the terrain there is remote, it is convenient to escape, it is impossible to search the mountains for patrolling, and the check is not cumbersome.
All this, Qiao Pei begged Jiang Xingzhang not to tell Jiang Zhan for the time being, she didn't want her son to know that she had lied.
After all, it also involves his own emotional entanglements, which is difficult to talk about in front of juniors.
At that time, when the family of three set off for Chunan County, Jiang Zhandu always thought that they were going to visit his mother's relatives.
According to Fang Nan's request, they set off from the center of Yunzhou City at three o'clock in the afternoon, and when they arrived at the area where Chunan County is located, it was already evening.
Stayed overnight in the city.
Qiao Pei returned to the room after dinner and called Qiao Hui, saying that she wanted to pick up the child, but Qiao Hui was unwilling.
Qiao Pei threatened her with the Jiang family, either she took the initiative to return the child to her, she would give the Cheng family a sum of money to repay the debt, or she would go through the legal process, now the Cheng family may not even be able to pay the lawyer's fees, right?
Qiao Hui scolded her, although Qiao Pei knew that this was a bit excessive, but the child was always born to her, and she was qualified to come back, since the Cheng family was unable to raise her, why let the child stay in the Cheng family and suffer.
Qiao Hui scolded her for being a white-eyed wolf and having no conscience, unless Jiang Ruo was willing, she would go bankrupt and fight with her.
Voluntarily?
Qiao Pei smiled, how could Jiang Ruo be unwilling?
It rained a little at night in Yunzhou City, and the next day the family of three set off for the mountains as soon as they saw dawn.
On the rugged mountain road halfway, an oncoming truck failed to avoid the brakes because of the failure of the brakes, and the two vehicles collided and rushed out of the protective fence and fell into the mountain.
After the truck fell to the ground, it was crushed on the car, and the car in which the three members of the Jiang family were riding was almost shattered, and Jiang Xingzhang and Jiang Zhan died on the spot.
Qiao Pei sat in the back seat, and after breathing for a while, after experiencing the despair of not being able to call for help in the uninhabited mountains, she used her last strength to find the nearest call, that is, the phone number of the identification center, and asked them to send the paternity test to Jiang Qiying.
The signal in the mountains was intermittent, and the person who answered Qiao Pei's phone only heard some keywords, and then hung up without a signal.
A few hours later, the sun broke through the clouds, the fog dissipated, and someone passed by the mountain road to call the police.
After the accident, Qiao Pei's email was hit by a virus, and all emails were deleted and could not be recovered.
And she used her email address to get in touch with Fang Nan before, but the email was lost, and there was no clue.
The masterminds behind this accident were Jiang Weiming and Jiang Jin.
Although they had planned to kill Jiang Xingzhang for a long time, they had been missing an opportunity, and Jiang Weiming had been looking for someone to keep an eye on Jiang Xingzhang and Qiao Pei's movements.
Because Jiang Weiming usually has a humble style, shows no fighting spirit, and is even extremely friendly to his younger brother's family, no one has imagined that under his calm face, there are many hideous fangs, let alone be wary of him.
Jiang Weiming bribed a private detective and learned of Jiang Ruo's existence, Jiang Jin contacted the water and fire to kill people and extinguish the traces, and the water and fire have a wide range of ways, and it is not difficult to find a hacker.
Afterwards, Jiang Weiming asked the bureau to make the decision, and the case was decided as death in an accidental car accident.
Even Chen Jinnan, who was still a small grassroots at the time, found that there were still many doubts, but he couldn't stop the decision from above.
And Fang Nan mentioned by Jiang Weiming, when the police re-investigated, found that Fang Nan had died in a drunk driving accident in Philadelphia less than two months before Jiang Xingzhang's family had an accident.
Jiang Weiming's confession showed that the photos in the "Fang Nan" email were all exchanged by Jiang Weiming for a sum of money from Fang Nan earlier.
Because of the lack of Fang Nan, who had long been unable to find this person, and later learned that Yunzhou City was not Qiao Pei's hometown, no one knew the purpose of this family of three going to Yunzhou City, which was missing this most important link, so it has not been able to crack it.
……
Jiang Ruo waited until the end of the trial, and when Jiang Weiming and Jiang Ji were escorted down, Jiang Ruo stared at them motionlessly.
She really wanted Jiang Ji to understand the meaning of her eyes, although the retribution came late, but she finally made her wait until this day.
It was taken as Mingyu's account, and it was also calculated.
Jiang Ruo picked up his bag and turned to leave, but there was no Uncle Ming in sight at this time.
When he went out, he found him sitting on a stool outside, seemingly waiting for her.
Jiang Ruo's eyebrows were indescribably tired, and he smiled reluctantly, "I haven't left yet, Uncle Ming." ”
Liu Ming seemed to be much older in an instant, and he stood up when he heard the voice, "Let's go out together." ”
I walked all the way, but I didn't speak.
Jiang Ruo and Liu Ming both came by car, and when they arrived at the parking lot to separate, Liu Ming called Jiang Ruo, but he stopped talking for a while before saying, "Don't blame your grandfather and your mother." ”
Jiang Ruo paused.
Uncle Ming didn't seem to be able to wait for her answer, got into the car and drove away.
The sun was still scorching at the end of summer near noon, and after standing in the sun for a long time, her eyes were pantothenic and almost tearful.
She got into the car and returned to the gate of the community, but suddenly turned around and went to the company.
The company's office is located in the central office building of the financial city, which is not more prosperous than the CBD in the city center, quieter and less crowded, and has a strong business atmosphere.
By noon, employees in professional attire were everywhere foraging for food at nearby malls and restaurants.
went up to the seventeenth floor and swiped the card into the company, she looked around, didn't see Wang Zhao, and asked her assistant who was going to eat, only to know that she was called out for lunch by a man before getting off work.
Jiang Ruo knocked on the baffle of the assistant's workstation and asked, "Is the man's surname He?"
The assistant thought for a moment, "It seems to be, I don't know if it's He or where it came from......"
Jiang Ruo smiled: "Okay, I'll call her myself." ”
She was a little unhappy today, so she wanted to find bad luck for He Zongming.
Jiang Ruo called Wang Zhao and learned that they were in the western restaurant on the top floor of the shopping mall next to her, and she immediately went over.
When He Zongming saw Jiang Ruo, he was very sad.
Jiang Ruo, she must have done it on purpose.
At the beginning, he didn't fool Jiang Ruo, but now he dares to take revenge by following the opportunity?
Jiang Ruo sat down, and He Zongming immediately smiled: "I heard that you went to listen to the trial of the two fathers and sons of the Jiang family today, and it's over?"
Jiang Ruo lowered his head and straightened the napkin, "That's right." ”
"Then you don't go home, come directly to the company, it's too dedicated!" He Zongming gave a thumbs up, and Wang Zhao squinted his eyes to warn him to speak less.
Jiang Ruo smiled and said, "I thought you were going to ask me about the results of the trial. ”
He Zongming choked, got off the donkey down the slope and asked, "What's the result?"
Jiang Ruo shrugged, "They will be sentenced to fifteen and twenty years each, and they will appeal." ”
"Oh. He Zongming's reaction was flat, probably knowing that it was useless to appeal.
Only Wang Zhao noticed that Jiang Ruo was in a bad mood, and after eating, he urged He Zongming to leave quickly.
He Zongming was very unhappy, and obviously made an appointment to visit her new company after dinner. Glancing at Jiang Ruo, the latter smiled innocently at him.
He Zongming left angrily, and Wang Zhao asked Jiang Ruo: "Why did you come to the company at this time?"
Jiang Ruo said, "Isn't there a meeting in the afternoon?"
"I know that you have something to do today, so I said yesterday that you don't need to attend the afternoon meeting. ”
Jiang Ruo quibbled and said: "Isn't it okay this afternoon, it's not good to blatantly escape, besides, the company has just started, it's already very busy, I can't just live in the shareholder list and meetings forever, isn't this just an ornament, I don't want to go." ”
Wang Zhao snorted twice and asked quietly: "Is it because you don't want to go, or are you depressed after listening to the trial?"
Jiang Ruo pouted and didn't make a sound.
Wang Zhao hugged her, "At this time, the sisters are the most suitable person to talk to, have a meeting in the afternoon, and go to drink together after being busy." ”
……
After getting off work, Wang Zhao took Jiang Ruo to have dinner to fill his stomach first, and then went to a nearby Qing bar.
Sitting in the booth, Jiang Ruo was slightly drunk, holding a cup in his hand and leaning against the partition.
Wang Zhao saw her pouting, her cheeks were slightly red, and she didn't say the truth after drinking, so he was really anxious for her.
As soon as she asked, "What's going on in the trial?", Jiang Ruo would only: "Hey, it's hard to say." ”
Wang Zhao is also out of luck.
Until a few more cups of belly, Jiang Ruo stared at the liquid reflecting the light in the cup, and said to Wang Zhao: "I thought that most children came to this world with the expectation of their parents, and I thought that I was also among the 'majority'. ”
She was more like saying to herself, "Even if she abandons the child, she must have some kind of trouble." But I didn't expect it to be this kind of ...... This kind of bitterness. ”
Because she came at the wrong time, because she was likely to be a stumbling block for her biological mother to marry into a wealthy family.
She wiped the moist corners of her eyes, although she had a very happy childhood, and now that she is a mother, she is past the age of longing for maternal love, but she just feels that Qiao Pei is not worthy.
Even if she is considered to be "Jiang Ruo's mother", she is not worthy.
No wonder Qiao Hui almost didn't mention this person to her after telling her who her biological mother was.
Because she really doesn't deserve it.
Jiang Ru chattered for a long time, but in fact, Wang Zhao only half-understood it.
Jiang Ruo said that he was tired and lay on the table, looking around through the cup, vaguely.
After a while, a figure appeared in her sight, which she felt familiar, and she removed the cup to see the person who was coming.
She was stunned for a moment, still lying on her stomach, and stretched out a hand to the visitor with red eyes, "Hug." ”
Then her hand was wrapped in a large palm, and she was pulled into an embrace.
