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 66 I Want to Get You Back Again
Yang Ru told me on the phone that the reason Tian Fen hadn't contacted me for so long was because she was stuck with Xiao Shi.
"Mr. Xiao actually gave the one million back to Tian Fen, asking her not to harass you. Tian Fen had agreed, but unexpectedly came to Mr. Xiao again. This time, Mr. Xiao didn't give it, and the old woman directly stabbed Mr. Xiao with a fruit knife..."
"Didn't I tell you a long time ago? Tian Fen is a parasite. She sticks to whoever gives her money. When you give her money, she says everything is fine, but when she runs out of money, she comes back to ask for more." I was really angry and anxious.
I should have thought that Tian Fen was not someone who would give up easily. A trace of regret flashed across my eyes. I didn't understand why Xiao Shi didn't listen to my advice. He knew that Tian Fen was that kind of person, but he still wanted to give her the money.
"Xiao Wan, don't blame Xiao Shi. Tian Fen cried her heart out and even knelt down to kowtow to Xiao Shi, saying that you killed her son and her husband, and she really couldn't live anymore."
Yang Ru said that Mr. Xiao couldn't bear to be cruel to Tian Fen because of me.
"Me?" I was stunned.
"Yes, because of you. Not only did your boyfriend die, but his father also died. Now Tian Fen is the only one left, Mr. Xiao said. If you treat her harshly, you might feel bad for your dead boyfriend."
If Tian Fen was Chen Xi's biological mother, I might really take this into consideration and would not have the heart to be so indifferent to Tian Fen. However, Xiao Shi did not know that Chen Xi was just Tian Fen's adopted child. They adopted Chen Xi just for the subsidy and used the money to gamble. From childhood to adulthood, they had never been kind to Chen Xi. Chen Xi was always supported by the villagers.
I asked about Xiao Shi's current condition and Tian Fenren's condition.
"Mr. Xiao is still in the operating room. Tian Fen ran away after stabbing someone. I have already called the police."
After I asked Yang Ru which hospital Xiao Shi was in and hung up the phone, I hurriedly took a taxi to the hospital. When I arrived, Xiao Shi was just coming out of the operating room. He looked very pale.
The doctor pushed Xiao Shi into the ward. Yang Ru said it was already nine o'clock in the evening and she had to go home first. The R&D department had been busy this month.
After Yang Ru left, I looked at Xiao Shi with some heartache.
"Don't help Tian Fen for me anymore. If you see her, call the police or even find someone to beat her up."
"Also, Chen Xi is not Tian Fen's son. From now on, don't be considerate of me. My debt to Chen Xi is limited to Chen Xi. I really don't feel I owe them anything."
I really get angry whenever I mention that old woman Tian Fen. She's already in her fifties, and Uncle Chen died from gambling, yet she still hasn't changed her bad habits. Sooner or later, she'll end up like Uncle Chen.
Now I think that Tian Fen should not appear in front of me, or I will want to kill her.
My stomach suddenly ached, and I reached out and gently stroked my lower abdomen, thinking that maybe my anger had affected the fetus.
I hurried to calm down.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Shi asked me puzzledly when he saw me like this.
"I was just so angry that my stomach hurts."
"I understand. I won't be soft-hearted when I see her next time." Xiao Shi looked at me.
"I will return the one million you gave to Tian Fen later."
I feel like I'm in debt again.
"Xiao Wan, that was given to me by me, you don't need to pay it back." Xiao Shi looked at me.
"I'm not doing this to make you feel indebted to me. Don't put too much psychological pressure on yourself."
Looking at the injured Xiao Shi, I didn’t know what to say for a moment.
"When I entered the operating room, I specifically told Yang Ru not to let you know. I didn't expect that she would call you the next moment." Xiao Shi said with some blame.
"Don't take this money to heart. Just consider it a lesson for me. It's getting late. Go back and get some rest."
I know Xiao Shi has no one at home, and I would feel really bad if I left him alone in the hospital.
"I'll take care of you here tonight."
"Really, no need. I'm fine." Xiao Shi wanted to sit up, but his wound was in his abdomen. When he sat up, he touched the wound. He endured the pain and told me to go back.
When the two were in a stalemate, Karen pushed open the door of the ward and came in. When Xiao Shi came in, a complicated look flashed across his eyes.
"Brother Xiao Shi, why are you injured like this?"
"Xiao Wan, go back. I'll take care of her."
Kailin finished speaking and turned to look at me.
I nodded, looked at Xiao Shi, and said I would come to see him again tomorrow. Xiao Shi nodded. I said thank you to Kailin and left the ward.
As soon as I walked to the nurse's station, the nurse saw me and asked me if I was Xiao Shi's family member. Before I could answer, the nurse handed me Xiao Shi's medicine.
"This is painkiller and anti-inflammatory medicine. The dosage is written on it. Have him take it."
I nodded and said okay, then turned back to Xiao Shi's door. At this moment, I heard Xiao Shi talking about Kailin.
"Did you leak the information to that old man?"
"I asked someone to call and inform you, Brother Xiao Shi, I don't want you to be with her."
"Get out of here." Xiao Shi yelled at Kailin.
"Brother Xiao Shi, how could you do this? Have you forgotten Zuo Wei?"
"Tell me, are you really in love with Yu Xiaowan?"
"Yes."
"How could you do this? You clearly didn't tell me this at the beginning?" Karen was a little anxious.
"That's enough. It's none of your business to interfere in my affairs. Don't challenge my bottom line. If you keep doing this, I'll buy you a ticket back to France."
"Xiao Shi, you will regret this." Kailin walked out angrily. Seeing me standing at the door of the ward, she was stunned for a moment and reached out to pull me aside.
"Did you hear everything just now?" I hummed.
"Come on, I'll take you somewhere."
"But I still have medicine."
Kailin took the medicine from my hand, went back into Xiao Shi's room, and came out after a while.
Karen drove me to a villa. She took out a bunch of keys from her bag and opened the door. After Karen and I entered the house, we saw a photo of Xiao Shi and a French woman hanging on the wall of the living room. The woman was nestled in her arms, looking very happy.
"This is the house Xiao Shige and Zuo Wei bought before they got married."
I was stunned for a moment and asked who Zoe Wei was. Kailin asked me to follow her upstairs into a bedroom. She opened the drawer and gave me a photo, which was also a photo of Xiao Shi and that woman. On the back of the photo, the words "love of this life" were written in Xiao Shi's handwriting.
Kailin said that the woman was the daughter of her stepfather and his ex-wife, named Zoe, and was Anna's half-sister. The three of them had a good relationship.
"No wonder little Anna hates me so much and put laxatives in my things. It turns out it's all because of her sister. What about the Zovi people?"
Kailin was silent for a moment.
"He died three years ago."
Kailin said that when Xiao Shi and Zuo Wei were planning to get engaged, Zuo Wei died in a fire in her apartment in France.
"Brother Xiao Shi was very depressed at that time. I spent that whole month with him."
"Brother Xiao Shi gave me the key to this wedding room. He asked me to come here occasionally to take care of it."
"Yu Xiaowan, I don't mean anything else. I just want to remind you that Brother Xiao Shi told me before that you are a bit like Zuo Wei in character. I'm afraid Brother Xiao Shi regards you as a substitute for Zuo Wei. You have to know that you can't compete with a dead person." Kailin looked at me with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
"Thank you for the reminder, but you don't have to do this. I have already rejected Xiao Shi." I looked up at her.
Kailin was stunned, and looked at me with some confusion and suspicion.
"real?"
"Really." I answered calmly.
"That's good, but I hope you don't tell Brother Xiao Shi. You know about this."
I nodded and said yes.
Just then, Karin's cell phone rang. Karin said it was her mother calling. She asked me to wait in the room and she would take me home after the call.
After Kailin left, I took a look at Xiao Shi and Zuo Wei's wedding room, opened the drawer, and planned to put the photo Kailin gave me into the drawer.
When closing the drawer, he suddenly stopped and reached out to take out a piece of personal information next to the photo.
"Jiang Nianhao?" How did Xiao Shi get Jiang Nianhao's personal information? He looked at the date at the foot of the page and found that this information was printed three years ago.
Hearing Karen's footsteps, I hurriedly put the document into the drawer and closed it.
"Let's go. I'll take you back."
When she dropped me off at the car, Kailin repeatedly told me that Xiao Shi must not know that she was taking me to the villa tonight.
"Yu Xiaowan, I hope we can still be friends."
Kailin drove off.
I opened the door and went into the house, poured myself a glass of milk and went upstairs, sat on the bed, drank the milk and thought about things.
How did Xiao Shi get Jiang Nianhao's personal information? I've read it. It's dozens of pages long and describes Jiang Nianhao's past in great detail. It's just too much. I don't have time to read it.
"Maybe it's just a way to understand my competitors." I put down the cup of milk and was about to go to bed. A cool breeze blew on my back. I turned around and saw that the window was still open. I was stunned for a moment. I remembered that when I went to the hospital, I went upstairs to put on an extra coat. When I entered the room, the window was clearly closed.
I walked to the window, closed it, and thought that I might have remembered it wrong. Without thinking too much, I climbed into bed and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, I bought breakfast and went to see Xiao Shi. After breakfast, Xiao Shi asked someone from the company to deliver a document. After signing the document, he handed it to me.
"Please help me send this document to your uncle."
"Wang Chuan?"
Xiao Shi nodded and gave me an address, saying that his home was not far from the hospital.
I was stunned for a moment, a trace of worry flashed across my eyes. If I send Wang Chuan there, wouldn't I have to meet Jiang Yichen, who has always had a grudge against me? Will we fight then?
I glanced at my belly worriedly.
"Are you worried about running into Jiang Yichen?"
I nodded and said he knew that Jiang Yichen and I had some grudges.
"Although I don't have a good impression of Jiang Yichen, I know Wang Chuan's character. Jiang Yichen will be well disciplined by him. Don't worry, even if the two of you meet, Jiang Yichen will definitely not treat you like he did before."
"All right."
I prayed silently in my heart, hoping that it would be just as Xiao Shi said.
Half an hour later, I arrived at where Wang Chuan lived. After getting off the car, I looked at my lower abdomen with some worry, hoping not to run into Jiang Yichen.
I rang the doorbell and it opened after a while.
"Yu Xiaowan?" Jiang Yichen looked up at me.
I felt so unlucky.
"I'm here to see your father."
"Oh. Come in and sit down."
Jiang Yichen's attitude really surprised me. She turned around and called her nanny, asking her to pour tea for me.
I sat on the sofa with some caution. Soon the nanny poured me a cup of tea. Jiang Yichen asked the nanny to go upstairs and call Wang Chuan down.
Jiang Yichen asked me to drink tea, and said it was warm tea, not hot, and tasted good.
She was too enthusiastic, which made me have to be on guard. Seeing me like this, Jiang Yichen picked up the cup of tea and started drinking it.
"Don't worry, it's not poisonous."
"Yu Xiaowan, you are not still angry with me, are you? I was wrong about what happened before. I apologize to you." Jiang Yichen looked at me, and there was no resentment in his eyes. Instead, he was very sincere.
"Do you suspect that I will mess with you again?"
I nodded. After all, Jiang Ting had spoiled Jiang Yichen for more than 20 years. If you said she could change within a month, I really didn't believe it.
"I knew it. Don't worry, I have truly repented."
Jiang Yichen said that in the month since she returned to Wang Chuan's place, she had experienced inhuman torture, which had completely wiped out her previous personality.
I looked at her in some surprise.
"But this is what I deserve. My dad made me wake up completely."
"Do you know how my dad treated me? I used to bully others, so he would find a group of people to bully me and let me get beaten up, and he would never offer a hand to help. I used to lock others up in a dark room, so my dad locked me up in a dark room too and starved me for two whole days."
"In the past, I stole someone's boyfriend. My dad paid a woman to steal my boyfriend away. I also hired thugs to rape people. My dad also hired four men. At that time, my clothes were stripped off and I screamed for help, but my dad ignored me and said that he wanted me to experience the feeling of hurting others."
"I felt completely hopeless at the time. I could only cry and shout that I was wrong. Fortunately, my father still had some conscience and let them let me go."
Listening to Jiang Yichen's words, I couldn't help but admire Wang Chuan's method of educating his children. He treated Jiang Yichen in her own way. After all, Jiang Yichen was a girl, so he really could be so ruthless.
"But I don't hate my dad. It's what he did that made me change my ways from the bottom of my heart. It made me realize how much I had done wrong before."
Jiang Yichen stood up.
"I'm really sorry about what happened before." Jiang Yichen bowed deeply to me.
At this moment, I saw the sincerity in Jiang Yichen's eyes.
"It's all over." I looked up at her.
This is how the world is. There are no eternal friends, nor eternal enemies.
"Thank you for forgiving me."
Jiang Yichen sat next to me and asked me how Jiang Ruohe and I were doing now.
"Divorced."
"No way, could it be that I'm the one who's causing this? How about I call my brother and explain. I think you're pretty good."
"No need. What happened between us was a mistake in itself, not because of anyone else."
Just then, Wang Chuan came downstairs. I turned around and saw that Lawyer Zhang was following Wang Chuan downstairs. When Lawyer Zhang saw me, he was stunned for a moment and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
"Oh. Lawyer Zhang and I are friends. We met when your aunt and I were still together and working at Jiang Corporation." Wang Chuan explained to me.
I nodded.
"Then you guys chat, I'll leave first." Lawyer Zhang said.
I handed the document Xiao Shi gave me to Wang Chuan. Wang Chuan sat on the sofa, opened the document and took a look. After a long while, he looked up at me.
"Go back and tell Xiao Shi that this contract must be executed quickly."
I returned to the hospital and told Xiao Shi what Wang Chuan had said. A complicated look flashed across Xiao Shi's eyes, and he nodded and said okay.
After a while, Han Ming and Xiaoyu came over. As soon as Xiaoyu saw me, she reached out and hugged me.
"Xiao Wan, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much."
"I miss you as well."
When Xiao Shi saw Han Ming and the others coming, he asked me to go back and said that his injury was a minor matter and that I didn't need to visit him every day.
I left the hospital and was about to take a taxi home when Jiang Ruohe's car appeared at the hospital entrance.
Jiang Ruohe hurriedly got out of the car and walked towards me.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"What's wrong?" I was confused.
"Mu Yan just called me and said he saw you in the hospital. I thought something happened to you, so I rushed over."
"Mu Yan saw me?" I asked curiously.
Jiang Ruohe nodded and said that Mu Yan was the surgeon here.
"Oh, I'm fine. Xiao Shi was stabbed by Tian Fen. I came over to check on him."
As soon as I mentioned Xiao Shi, I felt that Jiang Ruohe's face was not very good.
"You didn't tell Mu Yan that we were divorced?"
"Not yet. It's not a good idea to announce a divorce so soon after getting married."
"I'll take you home." He looked at me and said.
Sitting in Jiang Ruohe's car, I tilted my head and looked at him. I found that he was a little nice to me now. We had divorced yesterday, but when he heard I was in the hospital, he rushed over, thinking something had happened to me.
"Why are you staring at me?" Jiang Ruohe turned and looked at me while waiting for the red light. I quickly came back to my senses, shook my head and said it was okay.
After a while, my cell phone rang. It was Yang Ru calling.
"Xiao Wan, check online. There's a post about you."
I hung up the phone and quickly opened the news screen on my phone. I saw an anonymous post about me. It said that I drugged my best friend's boyfriend, climbed into his bed, and killed him because of it, so I married Jiang Ruohe. As a result, I fell out of favor and started seducing Xiao Shi from Minghua, thus cheating on my wife and being caught in bed by Jiang Ruohe.
The post also said that Jiang Ruohe signed the divorce agreement in a fit of rage and gave me a lot of property, saying that as soon as I got the money, I threw myself into Xiao Shi's arms.
There were also a lot of photos of Xiao Shi and I alone together in the post, which made me so angry that I wanted to vomit blood.
There is no need to think about it. Tian Rong asked Huang Minwei to do it. The last time I met Shen Xiuting in the restaurant bathroom, Tian Rong called Shen Xiuting and said that she had a good way to let Huang Minwei deal with me.
At that time, Shen Xiuting didn't turn on the voice chat, so I couldn't hear clearly what Tian Rong said. I just heard Shen Xiuting nodding and saying yes. So even if I knew that Huang Minwei was targeting me, I couldn't guard against it.
Seeing that I looked unhappy, Jiang Ruohe stopped the car on the side of the road, reached out to take my phone, and his face darkened.
He immediately took out his cell phone and called Song Yan.
"Suppress the news within ten minutes, and prepare for a press conference within another half hour. I have something to announce."
After Jiang Ruohe hung up the phone, he turned to look at me and told me not to worry, he would take care of the matter.
"I really didn't expect that Huang Minwei would be so confused about right and wrong. I gave her two million, but she still caused trouble..." Jiang Ruohe said with a clenched fist.
Jiang Ruohe has been feeling frustrated, wondering why he had fallen for someone like Huang Minwei before.
Just then, my cell phone vibrated. It turned out to be Huang Minwei sending me a text message.
"Yu Xiaowan, have you seen the post? How are you feeling? I told you a long time ago that just because you exposed me doesn't mean you won. I'll let others see your true face, too."
My eyes turned cold and I sent her a message back.
"Haha. Huang Minwei, do you think you're not harming me, but helping me? Jiang Ruohe is right in front of me right now. Your treatment of me will only make him hate you even more."
After a while, she sent a message.
"You're lying. I just got reliable information that he's on a business trip."
I was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Jiang Ruohe who was driving, glanced at his trunk, and saw his suitcase.
"Are you planning a business trip?"
"Well, I'm planning to go to North City to discuss a cooperation."
"So what about you?"
"When I was about to board the plane, Mu Yan called me. I thought you were sick, so I didn't go."
Jiang Ruohe said it so calmly that I was stunned and felt a little nervous.
He refused to go just because Mu Yan called and said I was in the hospital. He is such a fool. I looked at him with some blame.
"Then the cooperation plan will be ruined."
"You can always earn more money if you lose it. Don't worry, I'll definitely help you resolve that online issue."
I stopped paying attention to Huang Minwei, but she kept sending me harassing messages.
"Yu Xiaowan, you and Jiang Ruohe are divorced. Even if Jiang Ruohe knew, he wouldn't help you. Just wait for others to scold you."
"I wonder if you've dreamed about Chen Xi recently. He died so tragically, and he loved you so much. But you ended up sleeping with someone else because you were greedy for money."
"I used to treat you like a friend, but you treated me like this, Yu Xiaowan. I'm telling you, if I can't have it, you can't have it either."
At this moment, I really wanted to say something to Huang Minwei and tell her that Jiang Ruohe was not on a business trip and was thinking about helping me solve this problem. She would be the one crying then.
Forget it, let her be happy for a while. I turned my phone to silent mode and looked out the window quietly.
After a while, Jiang Ruohe took me to Jiang's. A large number of reporters had already arrived at the door of Jiang's. When they saw Jiang Ruohe get out of the car and saw me in the car, they rushed over to us.
"Ms. Yu, is what's said online true?"
"Ms. Yu, did you really steal your best friend's boyfriend and kill your own boyfriend?"
The flash made me feel dizzy and irritated, so I quickly covered my face with my hands.
"Where are the security guards? Are they just there to eat and do nothing?" Jiang Ruohe shouted, and all the security guards standing at the door rushed over.
Zhao Yan hurriedly told the reporters that a venue had been arranged, and Jiang Ruohe would answer any questions everyone had once they entered the venue.
After hearing what Zhao Yan said, the reporters quieted down. Zhao Yan took them into the venue. Jiang Ruohe got out of the car angrily and looked at one of the security guards.
"If you don't do your job well, I'll fire you all. As the security captain, your salary will be cut in half this month."
Jiang Ruohe opened the car door and asked me with some concern, asking if I was okay.
I shook my head and said it was okay, then got out of the car. As soon as I got out, Jiang Ruohe took my hand.
"There are so many steps here, it's easy to fall, I'll hold you up."
“…”
Jiang Ruohe took me to his office to rest. After a while, Zhao Yan came and said that the online news had been suppressed and most reporters had arrived.
"Okay, I understand. The press conference will start in five minutes."
Five minutes later, Jiang Ruohe took my hand and walked into the venue. Everyone looked at Jiang Ruohe holding my hand, and started taking pictures, whispering something to each other.
Jiang Ruohe took me to the stage.
"Thank you all for coming. Yu Xiaowan and I did sign a divorce agreement yesterday, but it's not what's been circulated online."
"It's just because we had too many misunderstandings in this marriage. I was prejudiced against my wife and did many things that hurt her. I want a divorce to end this wrong marriage."
"Of course, this isn't the real end. I still want to get my wife back. I hope everyone can be a witness for me."
There was an uproar at the scene.
I stared at Jiang Ruohe dumbfounded, as if my whole body had short-circuited.
