That night with Jiang Ruohe, I lost love, friendship, and gained a marriage that didn't belong to me. “Yu Xiaowan, you are the most vicious woman I have ever seen.” Jiang Ruohe looked at me...
Chapter 103 Jealousy
Although he didn't know what Shao Han had put in Jiang Nianhao's pocket, he only knew that Jiang Nianhao's face was not very good. He looked at Shao Han with some resentment, then turned around and looked at Tian Rong unwillingly.
At this moment, Tian Rong knew that Shao Han had some leverage over Jiang Nianhao, so she was naturally not afraid anymore. She covered her face and glared at Jiang Nianhao.
Shao Han turned to look at Tian Rong, still without any expression, and just asked his assistant to find a lawyer.
Even if Jiang Nianhao doesn't want to divorce, he has to get a divorce.
However, given Jiang Nianhao's personality, he naturally wouldn't let Tian Rong go so easily.
After watching the video, I called Jiang Ruohe and asked Shao Han what evidence he had against Jiang Nianhao.
"Didn't my dad sign the agreement not to give up his property? He's been transferring Jiang's assets while I was away, and he's also been falsifying the accounts. I've known about this for a long time."
I asked Jiang Ruohe what he planned to do.
"I've discussed it with Grandpa. The amount isn't too large, so we'll just turn a blind eye. If he makes any more small moves, I won't let him off."
I nodded.
Jiang Ruohe asked me where I was and I said I was in a coffee shop.
"Not going back?"
"I was also planning to call Xiao Shi and tell him about Tian Wu."
"Okay, I miss you, remember to go back early."
I nodded, said I missed him too, and hung up the phone.
Afterwards, I called Xiao Shi and told him that I had something to talk to him about. Xiao Shi asked me where I was and I said I was in a coffee shop.
"Then you have to wait for me. I have something to do right now."
After hanging up the phone, I asked the waiter to take away the cup of coffee that Jiang Nianhao had drunk before, and stared quietly out the window at the scenery outside.
Half an hour later, Xiao Shi's car appeared in my sight. I called the waitress and asked her to bring another cup of coffee.
Two minutes later, Xiao Shi sat opposite me and told me that his nanny had just called and said that Aunt Lan was sick again. Fortunately, the nanny Xiao Shi hired this time had some skills and no one was hurt.
When I heard Xiao Shi mention Aunt Lan, I still felt a little sad, and I looked at him.
"I know you don't want to hear this, but I still want to say it. Aunt Lan's current condition requires a separate doctor to treat her."
I know that if I ask Xiao Shi to send Aunt Lan to a mental hospital, he will definitely not agree. I can only tell him to find a private doctor.
Xiao Shi looked at me for a while, nodded, and said that he had asked Han Ming to arrange it.
Hearing Xiao Shi talk about Han Ming reminded me of Xiao Yu. It seems like we haven’t been in touch for a long time, and I don’t know how she is doing now.
I came back to my senses and remembered that I was looking for Xiao Shi today, but it was something important. I looked up at Xiao Shi and said that I found Tian Wu.
"Where?" Xiao Shi's eyes turned cold and he asked me hurriedly.
I turned on the recording on my phone and played the conversation between Tian Wu and I in the hospital yesterday to Xiao Shi.
After listening for more than ten minutes, Xiao Shi seemed to be thinking about something. I looked up at Xiao Shi.
"Everything he said was true. Someone hired his friend to do that, and then asked the other three to reveal Wang Yingzhi's name. In the end, they wanted to kill those three, but Tian Wu killed them instead. The person behind this has been looking for Tian Wu all these years."
I looked at him carefully.
"Xiao Shi, Aunt Lan's incident has nothing to do with Wang Yingzhi."
Xiao Shi looked at me coldly and sneered.
"Even if Wang Yingzhi hadn't hired someone to do that, I still wouldn't forgive her. I'll never forget the scene of my mother kneeling before her and her arrogant face."
"But she got her retribution. The man she fought for never loved her. This is her biggest retribution, and she also regretted it." I looked at Xiao Shi and said.
"Actually, I just wanted to tell you the truth about this matter. I never thought you would forgive Wang Yingzhi, but no matter what, you and Jiang Ruohe are brothers. He did nothing wrong. Although he was born in the Jiang family, he has never received fatherly love like you. I hope you can live in peace." I comforted him.
"What's more, the person behind this wants to use you to deal with the Jiang family. You are also a member of the Jiang family, my grandfather's grandson, and Jiang Ruohe's brother."
There was a trace of struggle in Xiao Shi's eyes. He didn't say anything, but was thinking about something quietly. In fact, Xiao Shi was not a bad person. Compared to me, he was a good person. I believed he could figure it out.
After a while, Xiao Shi looked up at me and did not continue the topic I was talking about. Instead, he asked me where this Tian Wu man was.
Looking at the coldness in his eyes, I knew he wanted to attack Tian Wu.
"You want to kill him?"
"Of course. Even if he was instructed by someone else, I can't let him go. If I let him go, it would be very unfair to me, Mom."
"He has liver cancer and won't live for many days."
I looked at Xiao Shi and told him the story of Tian Wu's escape from the police station.
"He's been spending the past few days with the daughter who helped him. If he were the Tian Wu of the past, I would have handed him over to you immediately, but he's changed over the years, and I don't have much time left. Xiao Shi, I still hope you can let him go."
"If you ask me to hand over someone, I won't hand them over to you."
"I feel sorry for Aunt Lan too, but the person who really harmed Aunt Lan is the one who made you and the Jiang family become enemies. He is the culprit. Even if you kill Tian Wu now, you still haven't avenged Aunt Lan." I looked at Xiao Shi.
The fire in Xiao Shi's eyes gradually died down. He looked out the window and didn't speak for a long time, but I knew that this was his agreement.
After a while, he turned to look at me and asked me if I could get any other information from Tian Wu. I shook my head and said that Tian Wu had said everything he needed to say and that was all he knew.
"Okay, I understand. I'll check who's behind this."
After hearing what Xiao Shi said, I felt happy and hurriedly thanked him. Then I looked at the time and it was almost time for dinner. Xiao Shi was so generous. No matter what, I had to thank him very much.
"There's a restaurant right next door. I'll treat you to lunch."
Xiao Shi glanced at me.
"I don't have any objections, but I'm afraid..."
"It's just a meal, nothing serious." I smiled at him.
He nodded and said okay.
"By the way, Han Ming and Xiaoyu are getting married on Women's Day. Xiaoyu cried for a long time when you faked your death a while ago. Don't be prejudiced against her because of what Han Ming and I did to Jiang Ruohe."
I looked at Xiao Shi and thought that Jiang Ruohe was alive and well now, so I let go of the matter of him and Han Ming dealing with Jiang Ruohe.
"They're getting married so soon, which is a good thing. Why don't you give them both a call and I'll treat them to dinner together."
In this case, it should be better for the four of us to eat together. If Xiao Shi and I were to eat alone, I'm afraid someone with ulterior motives might take a picture of us, and then...
Xiao Shi took out his cell phone and called Han Ming. I got up and went to pay the bill. After paying, I called Wang Yingzhi and told her that I had something to do at noon and would not be going back for lunch.
Wang Yingzhi agreed, but told me to be careful.
After hanging up the phone, I still sent a text message to Jiang Ruohe, saying that I had lunch with Xiao Shi, Han Ming and Xiaoyu at noon. Jiang Ruohe did not reply to my message. I thought he must be busy and didn’t see it, so I put the phone in my bag and followed Xiao Shi to the restaurant next door.
After a while, Xiaoyu and Han Ming came over. When Xiaoyu saw me, she gave me a big hug and looked at me excitedly.
"Xiao Wan, it turns out you're not dead. I knew you would be fine. You don't even know it. I cried for several days."
I patted Xiaoyu on the shoulder and said that I had no choice because I was previously considered a criminal suspect.
"Have you found out now?" Xiaoyu asked me.
I nodded, but thinking of Tian Rong, I still felt a little unwilling. I looked up at Xiaoyu, but did not continue the topic. Instead, I asked Xiaoyu to order the dishes.
Xiaoyu didn't ask any more questions. She picked up the menu, looked at it, and asked what I wanted to eat. After Xiaoyu and I ordered a few dishes, we handed the menu to Xiao Shi and Han Ming. Usually men will say "whatever" when it comes to ordering food, and they did the same. Xiaoyu had no choice but to take the menu back and order a few more.
While waiting for the food to be served, I looked at Xiaoyu and asked him if he and Han Ming were planning to get married.
Xiaoyu smiled shyly and said yes.
"You've just turned twenty and haven't even graduated from college yet. Isn't it a bit of a loss to get married so early?"
Xiaoyu lowered her head and said that she believed in Han Ming and that Han Ming would treat her well.
I turned to look at Han Ming and said that Xiaoyu had given him the best years of her youth, and asked him to cherish Xiaoyu and never do anything to let Xiaoyu down.
Han Ming reached out and scratched his head, lowered his head and smiled, and told me not to worry, he had already signed a prenuptial agreement. If I did anything to let Xiaoyu down, all the property would belong to Xiaoyu, and he would leave the house with nothing.
I looked at Han Ming. We had been together in the bar for some time before. He was a good guy. When he was in the bar before, there were female customers who wanted to keep him, but he rejected them all.
I nodded and said that these days, there are very few men willing to sign a prenuptial agreement.
"These days, there are very few men who don't cheat." I murmured.
Xiao Shi looked at me and didn't say anything. I hurriedly said, there are quite a lot of good men.
Halfway through the meal, I went to the bathroom. When I came out, I bumped into Tian Rong. Tian Rong was wearing delicate makeup at the moment, and her face froze when she saw me.
"Oh. No matter how exquisitely her face is painted, it can't withstand the two slaps my father-in-law gave her." I said as I walked past her.
Whenever I think that she was the one who killed Shen Xiuting, even though I hate Shen Xiuting, I feel even more sorry for her. Although Shao Han protects Tian Rong, it doesn't mean that I really want to let her go.
Tian Rong's face looked very bad. She looked up and glared at me, then reached out and grabbed my hand.
"Yu Xiaowan, don't forget my current identity. I am the eldest daughter of the Shao family. If you say anything nonsense again, believe it or not, I will find someone to kill you."
I stopped and looked at Tian Rong with some sarcasm.
"Tian Rong, you became the daughter of the Shao family. So what? In my eyes, you are just a murderer." I emphasized the last three words.
Tian Rong's face was pale.
"I advise you to be more obedient. Shao Han saved you only because of Grandpa Shao. If you commit any more crimes, even ten Shao Hans won't be able to protect you."
I ignored her and came out of the bathroom. Tian Rong was cursing me angrily behind my back and told me to wait.
I smiled faintly and ran into Shao Han when I was leaving the corridor. It seemed that he came with Tian Rong. I glanced at Shao Han. Shao Han also looked at me. The two of us didn't say anything. When I was about to leave, he called me.
I stopped, turned to look at him and asked him if there was anything wrong.
"My dad was mumbling this morning that he wanted to see you."
Speaking of Grandpa Shao, I still felt a little distressed, so I turned around and asked Shao Han about Grandpa Shao's situation.
Shao Han told me that Grandpa Shao had been bedridden for half a month. After bringing Tian Rong home last night, he felt better this morning. The doctor said that since finding his granddaughter, Grandpa Shao's health has improved slightly. But he won't be able to hold on for long, at most a month.
"The old man suddenly mentioned you to me this morning and said he missed you."
"I have to go to the hospital this afternoon. How about I go and see Grandpa Shao tomorrow morning?" I said to him.
Shao Han nodded and said yes, and thanked me. At this time, Tian Rong came out of the bathroom, and when she saw Shao Han and I, her eyes almost popped out.
She walked up to Shao Han in high heels and took Shao Han's wrist.
"let's go."
I glanced at Tian Rong, thinking that Shao Han was just Grandpa Shao's adopted child, and I was afraid that Grandpa Shao would entrust his granddaughter to Shao Han.
Shao Han frowned slightly. He ignored her, looked at me, and said he would pick me up tomorrow morning.
I nodded and said yes.
"Congratulations on having such a great niece."
Tian Rong glared at me fiercely and moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, but I ignored her and turned back to the dining table.
Xiao Shi, who was sitting on a chair, watched Tian Rong and Shao Han leave, then turned to look at me.
"I never thought that Tian Rong would be the Shao family's child."
"Yeah, when the news came out this morning, I was a little bit unconvinced." Xiaoyu said while eating.
I didn't say anything, picked up my chopsticks and started eating.
After dinner, it was already 1:30 in the afternoon. When the three of them and I came out of the restaurant, Xiao Shi looked at me.
"Would you like me to give you a ride?"
I thought about it, and it just so happened that the hospital and Xiao Shi’s Minghua were on the same road. When I was about to agree, I heard a horn behind me. I turned around and found that Jiang Ruohe had come at some point. He was sitting in the car and staring at me. With him here, I naturally had to refuse Xiao Shi.
I looked at Xiao Shi with some apology. Xiao Shi turned around and saw Jiang Ruohe. He snorted coldly and got into the car and left.
After Han Ming and Xiao Yu left, I walked towards Jiang Ruohe's car, opened the door, got in, fastened my seat belt, and said he came at the right time to take me to the hospital. I wanted to go see Lian Yi.
I fastened my seat belt and saw that Jiang Ruohe hadn't started the car yet. I felt a little depressed and looked up at him. He was looking at me with a dark face. I reached out and pinched his face and asked him what was wrong.
"What do you think?" he asked me.
I rolled my eyes at him and said, "How would I know?" I turned around and took out my phone from my bag. I saw that Jiang Ruohe had replied with a "humph" emoji, and I tilted my head to look at Jiang Ruohe.
"Are you jealous?"
He didn't reply, just looked at me.
"I just had a meal with Xiao Shi. Besides, he's your brother. Why are you jealous?"
Jiang Ruohe snorted.
"I haven't forgotten that he is your ex-boyfriend. Just tell me, isn't it very..." Jiang Ruohe's face was full of jealousy.
If Jiang Ruohe hadn't said it, I would have forgotten about this. I did date Xiao Shi.
I rolled my eyes at Jiang Ruohe and said that at that time, it was him who didn't tell me anything, which led to my misunderstanding, and Xiao Shi had saved my life.
"It's just a meal..." I leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
"Besides, do you really not trust me that much?"
Jiang Ruohe's expression softened after I kissed him. He looked at me and said that it was not that he did not believe me.
"I'm worried that he still has improper intentions towards you. If such a powerful opponent uses a trick to trick you away, who would I go crying to?"
"Besides, if Huang Minwei comes back one day and you see us having dinner together, how would you feel?"
I thought about it and realized that I was also uncomfortable. I was also a possessive person. I looked at him seriously and told him that he could only have me in his heart and was not allowed to get too close to any other woman.
Jiang Ruohe smiled, reached out and pinched my face, and told me not to worry, that he was a loyal man.
He drove me to the hospital. Downstairs in the hospital, we bought some supplements. When we arrived at the intensive care unit, the doctor just came out of the unit. Jiang Ruohe asked about Lian Yi's condition.
The doctor said Lian Yi has woken up, which is better than he expected. Now he just needs to observe whether there is any rejection reaction.
"Can we go in and see her?" I asked.
The doctor said it was okay, but the conversation shouldn't be too long.
"Got it. Thank you, doctor."
I pushed the door open and went in with Jiang Ruohe. Tian Wu was talking to Lian Yi inside. When he saw us come in, he stopped talking, stood up and walked to me, and suddenly knelt down in front of me, which surprised me. Jiang Ruohe quickly pulled Tian Wu up.
"Uncle Tian? Why did you suddenly..." I looked at him puzzled.
"Xiao Wan, I know you paid for Lian Yi's surgery. Thank you. Lian Yi and I will be grateful to you."
"It's okay, Uncle Tian. Lian Yi is a good girl. Even if an ordinary person knew Lian Yi's situation, he would choose to help her." I looked at him.
"You still have to take care of your body."
Tian Wu nodded and whispered to me that he had not yet told Lian Yi about his illness, and he planned to tell her after a few days when she no longer had any rejection reaction.
"After all, there's not much time left. I have to tell her and give her some time to prepare."
I walked up to Lian Yi and told her that the doctor said she was in good condition and asked her to relax and receive treatment. Lian Yi smiled at me and said thank you.
The three of us left the intensive care unit and sat on a bench nearby. I turned to look at Tian Wu.
"Uncle Tian, think about what happened eight years ago and see if you can come up with any other clues. We want to find the person who ordered the rat."
Tian Wu thought about it carefully for a while, shook his head, and said that Haozi didn't tell them much at the time, but just said that he had received a big order, and that a man came to see him on the day he set the fire.
"It's hard to say, the man looking for him is the one behind this."
I turned to look at Jiang Ruohe and said that he had asked Jiang Ruohe to check in the detention center yesterday. Although he found the name of the man who came to see Haozi, it was probably a pseudonym and he couldn't find any information. Also, it had been too long and the prison guards could no longer remember what the man who came to see Haozi looked like.
I sighed and said this matter seemed to have reached a dead end, but fortunately, Xiao Shi at least knew that the incident with Aunt Lan was not done by Wang Yingzhi.
Jiang Ruohe told me not to be anxious and that the matter needed to be investigated slowly. He discussed with me that because of Tian Wu's condition and his age, he would definitely not be able to take care of Lian Yi, so he would go find a permanent caregiver.
I nodded and said yes. After hearing this, Tian Wu, who was sitting next to me, looked at Jiang Ruohe with gratitude.
"Uncle Tian, is Tian Rong your daughter?"
I wonder why Jiang Ruohe suddenly asked this question?
Tian Wu nodded, probably because he hadn't watched the news this morning.
"Does she have any special features? Like a birthmark or something?"
Tian Wu shook his head and said that when he was young, he was very bad. After Shen Xiuting gave birth to a daughter, he didn't even hold her, so he didn't pay any attention to her at all.
Jiang Ruohe hummed and said nothing more. I asked Jiang Ruohe in a low voice why he suddenly asked this.
"I just think she's so lucky, but I still want to confirm it."
I told him that Shao Han is a cautious person. He has done a thorough investigation and even a paternity test. This Tian Rong should be Grandpa Shao's granddaughter.
I told Jiang Ruohe that we should not talk about the fact that Tian Rong is not Tian Wu’s daughter.
Jiang Ruohe nodded and called Song Yan to find a caregiver.
After the nurse arrived, Jiang Ruohe asked Tian Wu to take the nurse into the intensive care unit. Jiang Ruohe and I were sitting outside on the bench. When we were about to get up and leave, Yin Jian also came over.
When he saw Jiang Ruohe, he quickly told him to transfer the remaining 300,000 yuan to Yin Jian's card.
"It seems that this was not found by you. Xiaowan asked Tian Wu to tell her what happened." Jiang Ruohe frowned and looked at Yin Jian.
"I have to take half the credit, right? If it weren't for me, how would Xiaowan have been able to find it?"
Yin Jian smiled at me and said that it was thanks to his sketches, otherwise I wouldn’t have found it.
I nodded and said yes.
"What's more, I didn't do anything during the New Year, but I just checked this matter for you."
"You can let me deposit this money into your card. You have to come to see Lian Yi more often these days. I have to go on a business trip in two days and won't have time to come over."
Yin Jian said there was no problem.
It was only when Jiang Ruohe and I were in the elevator that I asked him where he was going on his business trip.
"Beicheng, Xiao Shi returned the transfer agreement to my aunt."
I said "oh" and Jiang Ruohe stretched out his finger and flicked my forehead.
"Oh, what? Then you come with me."
He put his arm around my shoulders again and said he was worried about leaving me alone at home.
When the two were about to leave the hospital, I suddenly saw a man. When I saw him running in hurriedly, I called out to him.
"Chen Dong?"
He turned and looked at me.
"I'm Jiang Yichen's cousin's wife. I remember you. You're her boyfriend."
"It's you, that's great. I just received a call. Yi Chen was hit by a drunk driver and is now in the operating room. The doctor called me and said that she needs a blood transfusion. Yi Chen has panda blood, but the hospital is out of blood. I called her father. Although her father has panda blood, he happened to be abroad and it would take two hours to come back. I was almost dying of anxiety." Chen Dong said breathlessly.
