Chapter 180 Killing Two Birds with One Stone

"If you hadn't imprisoned her, why would grandma do this?"

Jiang Yichen argued with reason, but Mr. Jiang didn't say anything.

Jiang Yichen turned and looked at me. I hesitated, my eyes reddened, "I want to stay."

He nodded gently and said to me, "Okay, you stay here and look after grandma first. I'll go through the hospitalization procedures and come back later."

I nodded, waited at the door for my grandmother to be pushed out, and followed the nurse back to the ward.

I was about to follow in, but was stopped sternly by Jiang's father.

"You can't go in."

"You and Jiang Yichen just now clearly..." I frowned, not expecting that Mr. Jiang would suddenly change his mind, and said dissatisfiedly.

I was interrupted before I could finish my sentence.

"Take her back to me."

He ordered his men to forcibly take me back to the Jiang family and confiscated my mobile phone to prevent me from contacting the outside world.

"Mr. Jiang, you can't do this. No one will take care of grandma."

"Ms. Gu, take care of yourself! I will find someone to take care of my own mother. There is no need for you to pretend here." Old Master Jiang was unmoved.

They took me back to the Jiang family and locked me in a room on the third floor.

This room has no exit other than the balcony.

I tried to find a way to escape, but the door of the room was locked tightly and the windows were equipped with anti-theft nets, so I couldn't leave at all.

After Mr. Jiang returned home, he came to my room.

He looked at the heroine coldly and said, "Just stay here. When Jiang Yichen has settled the company's affairs, let him take you away. Our Jiang family can no longer tolerate a jinx like you."

I felt a pang of sadness in my heart.

I know that I do bear a great responsibility for my grandma's accident this time.

Jiang Yichen hated himself even more because of this, and might even have developed resentment towards the entire Jiang family.

I feel like a real sinner and I can't forgive myself for my mistakes.

I hid in the room alone, crying silently.

When I think back to every moment I spent with my grandma, my heart is filled with guilt and self-blame.

I felt like I didn’t have the face to face my grandma again, let alone Jiang Yichen.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and I was immersed in deep self-blame and unable to extricate myself.

I don’t know how to face the future, and I don’t know how to make up for my mistakes.

I can only pray silently, hoping that grandma can recover soon and that Jiang Yichen can forgive himself.

I fell asleep unknowingly in the dim room. Perhaps because of the worries and fatigue in my heart, her dreams were chaotic and heavy.

When I was half asleep and half awake, I vaguely heard a noisy sound coming from downstairs. The sound seemed like someone was arguing or fighting.

I barely supported myself and slowly crawled to the door, putting my ear against the cold door panel, trying to hear what was happening downstairs.

The sounds downstairs were intermittent, mixed with anger, crying and scolding.

Although I couldn't hear it clearly, I could vaguely make out Jiang Yichen's voice and the aunt's sharp screams.

Immediately afterwards, a shocking news reached my ears - Jiang Yichen brought back a woman and a child, claiming that these two were Jiang's father's mistress and child outside.

My heart suddenly tightened and I couldn't believe my ears.

An angry voice of an old lady came from downstairs, "Jiang... you old bastard, you actually dared to find a mistress outside, this woman can almost be your daughter..."

downstairs

The aunt was so angry that she rushed over to hit Jiang's father, but was pushed away by Mr. Jiang.

During the scuffle, the old lady's waist hit the corner of the table. The pain was so severe that she couldn't stand up and could only fall to the ground groaning.

"You are such a heartless man, favoring your concubine over your wife. I will make sure everyone knows you..."

I listened to the noise downstairs intermittently and imagined the confusing scene in my mind.

My thoughts suddenly became clear. Now everything is clear. Mr. Jiang realized that he could not control Jiang Yichen, so he staged a drama of replacing the prince with a cat. The paternity test was probably fake. The purpose was to kick Jiang Yichen out of the company so that his illegitimate son could inherit the company.

It really kills two birds with one stone.

The quarrel downstairs became more and more intense, and I was terrified listening to it in the room. Although I couldn't see it with my own eyes, I could feel the strong smell of gunpowder just by the sound.

Jiang's father's voice sounded downstairs, with a hint of disdain and provocation: "So what if I have an illegitimate child? Isn't Jiang Yichen also an illegitimate child? What do you want to do by doing this?"

Jiang Yichen's voice was as cold as ice, with undisguised anger and sarcasm: "Do you think your illegitimate child can inherit the Jiang family's property? Let me tell you, this child is not your own flesh and blood at all!"

As he spoke, Jiang Yichen threw a paternity test report fiercely in front of Mr. Jiang. The report was like a flash of lightning, breaking the arrogance on Mr. Jiang's face.

He stared at the report with wide eyes in disbelief, as if he had seen something horrifying.

"What did you say? This is impossible!" Old Master Jiang's voice trembled. He could not accept this cruel reality.

Jiang Yichen sneered and continued, "Also, the paternity test you received before about me was also fake. It was this woman who used her child to do the paternity test in order to force me away so that her child could legitimately inherit the Jiang family's property."

Jiang Yichen's words were like a sharp knife, stabbing into Jiang's father's heart.

He stared at the woman and the child in front of him with wide eyes, his eyes filled with anger and disappointment.

The aunt listened at the side with an expression of shock and anger on her face.

She finally understood that all this was a conspiracy by this woman. In order for her child to inherit the Jiang family's property, she even fabricated lies and forged evidence to frame Jiang Yichen.

Facing the male protagonist's questioning, the woman became more and more emotional. She cried and shouted with tears streaming down her face, insisting: "Everything he said is nonsense. I have never done those things."

She hugged the child tightly in her arms, as if he was her only support and proof.

"Jiang Yichen, what rights do you have to frame me like this? This child is your father's biological child. Are you going to deny your own brother just to fight for the family property?" The woman shouted at the top of her lungs, trying to bind Jiang Yichen and his father with the bond of family affection.

Jiang Yichen looked at her coldly, his eyes full of disdain and anger.

"Do you dare to take this child for another paternity test? Use scientific evidence to prove your innocence." Jiang Yichen said provocatively. He knew that the woman would not dare, because once the test was conducted again, her lies would be self-defeating.
