Chapter 93 Because of You

I turned off the video. I have to say that Jiang Nianhao is also a very scheming person. He actually wants to completely take over the Jiang family for the sake of the child in Tian Rong's belly.

At the same time, he is also an extremely cold-blooded person. I don't see any fatherly care and love in him for Jiang Ruohe and Xiao Shi. Even when Jiang Ruohe passed away, he didn't feel too sad.

If it were someone else's father, he would have cried his heart out, but he...

I sneered, put the phone aside, started the car and drove home.

When I got home, Aunt Liu was talking to Chen Min on the phone, saying that she would not go home for the New Year this year. She would wait until after the New Year, when her son was transferred back to Jiang's, and then she would ask them to come to Nancheng to look at houses and pay the down payment. That way, they could see each other every day.

Aunt Liu hung up the phone and told me that she had packed her things.

"I never thought that Xiao Shi is actually the young master's brother. It's really..." Aunt Liu sighed.

I looked away. Although I had known for a long time that Xiao Shi was Jiang Ruohe's brother, I never thought that he would have such thoughts about the Jiang family. When I asked him about it, he clearly told me that he would not do that. But now, he has someone kill Jiang Ruohe and wants to completely take over the Jiang family. It's really...

I turned to look at Aunt Liu and said that I would also like to go to the Jiang family's old house for a while. Xiao Shi, Jiang Nianhao, and Tian Rong all live there now. All three of them have bad intentions, and I am afraid they will secretly do something to Grandpa.

I told Aunt Liu to keep an eye on the three of them after we went to the Jiang family's old house. When Aunt Liu was cooking, I would help her if I had time. I had to be alert when the three of them entered the kitchen.

"Butler Chen said that Aunt Wang will come over on the third day of the Lunar New Year. You can go home for the holiday and come back after the Lantern Festival."

Aunt Liu nodded and said yes.

I told Aunt Liu that I would go upstairs to pack my clothes first.

When I entered the room, a trace of loneliness flashed through my heart. I walked to the wardrobe, opened it, and when I saw Jiang Ruohe's clothes, tears began to well up in my eyes. I reached out and gently stroked his clothes, stared at them for a while, picked up a few of my clothes, and put them on the bed.

She walked to the makeup mirror, took out the photo album, found a bag, put the clothes and photo album into the bag, and walked out of the room.

When I reached the door, I looked back at the room and closed the door uncomfortably.

When I took Aunt Liu back to the Jiang family's old house, Jiang Nianhao and Tian Rong were standing at the door. Jiang Nianhao kissed Tian Rong on the face and said he was leaving first. Tian Rong looked at Jiang Nianhao reluctantly as he took the car keys and got into the car.

I opened the car door and got out, walked to Liu Ma's side, helped her down, and we both walked in. Tian Rong, who was standing at the door, glanced at the two of us, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, and told Liu Ma that Jiang Nianhao would not be back for dinner tonight, then went into the house.

After bringing Liu Ma into the house, he saw Tian Rong sitting on the sofa. He glanced at the stairs and felt a little worried thinking that only Grandpa and Xiao Shi were upstairs.

Aunt Liu noticed my worry and asked me to go upstairs first.

"Young Madam, don't worry, I will keep an eye on them. I'll go to the kitchen to cook first."

I looked at Aunt Liu, nodded, and said I would come down to help later.

I carried the bag up to the third floor and threw the clothes in the room where Jiang Ruohe and I used to live. I hurried to my grandfather's room to find him. When I went there, Xiao Shi just came out of my grandfather's room. Seeing me looking at him warily, a hint of self-mockery flashed across Xiao Shi's eyes.

"Yu Xiaowan, are you so wary of me?"

"That's natural." I looked at him calmly.

"If I wanted to hurt the old man, when he was in the hospital, I had plenty of ways to make him pass away peacefully."

"Xiao Shi, you..." I stared at him.

Xiao Shi looked at me.

"I just want to tell you that if I wanted to deal with the old man, I would have done it a long time ago."

I rolled my eyes at him and said, "Who knows what he's thinking right now?"

"Yu Xiaowan, do you know why I was so cruel to Jiang Ruohe?"

He leaned closer to me and put his face close to my ear.

"Because of you."

I trembled all over and looked at Xiao Shi in shock.

"From the beginning, I knew that you had him in your heart and not me, but since you promised me, you have to keep your promise. I waited for you for so long, but what I waited for was that you and Jiang Ruohe rekindled their old love..."

Xiao Shi's eyes grew a little colder.

"Yu Xiaowan, when you were together, did you ever think about my feelings?"

My face turned pale and I didn't know what to say for a moment.

"You're responsible for all this."

I stumbled back two steps, feeling a mixture of emotions. If I had stuck to my own thoughts, perhaps...

But now, things have turned out like this. Emotionally, I really feel sorry for Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi glanced at me.

"Xiao Wan, I came to the Jiang family just to give you another chance. If you promise me, I can let the Jiang family go. You can consider it."

Xiao Shi glanced at me, walked past me and went downstairs.

I looked at Xiao Shi's back as he left and hummed a few times.

Since you think I didn't keep my promise, why didn't you find someone to kill me directly, but instead went to attack Jiang Ruohe? Since you killed Jiang Ruohe, you still want me to agree to you? Don't even think about it.

I will do my best to protect the Jiang family, and I will also seek justice for Jiang Ruohe's death. As for what I owe you, I will repay you in my own way.

I opened the door of my grandfather's room and saw him sitting on a chair looking out the window. I felt much better and walked towards him.

"grandfather."

Grandpa turned and looked at me.

"Xiao Wan, you don't have to worry about Xiao Shi hurting me. Don't worry, he won't hurt me."

Seeing Grandpa say this and remembering Xiao Shi’s words, if he wanted to attack Grandpa, he would have done it long ago.

I nodded and told my grandfather that I was going downstairs to help Aunt Liu cook, and asked him if there was anything he wanted to eat.

Grandpa shook his head sadly and said that he really wasn't in the mood to eat right now.

"But health is the most important thing, Grandpa. We must cheer up. We still have the Jiang family to protect."

I looked at my grandfather sadly, knowing how he felt at the moment. I felt the same way, but there was no way. In this situation of internal and external troubles, I had to put away my sadness and cheer up.

Grandpa nodded and said to make whatever you want and he would eat it.

I closed the door and went downstairs. When I turned the corner, I heard Tian Rong talking to Xiao Shi on the second floor.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you were Jiang Nianhao's son?"

Xiao Shi said, "I told you earlier, will you help me keep an eye on Jiang Ruohe?"

"Tian Rong, are you planning to join Jiang Nianhao in dealing with me? Don't forget, if I hadn't sent you the video of Wang Yingzhi in Africa, and the news of her affair with her assistant, how could you have easily married into the Jiang family?"

Tian Rong shuddered and said that she didn't mean that, she was just asking out of curiosity.

"That's good. I really hate people who forget their roots now."

"Tian Rong, I know what you're thinking right now, but I'm telling you, don't try to play any tricks in front of me. You'll suffer the consequences."

I heard the sound of a door opening. It must be Xiao Shi who finished speaking and went in.

I walked downstairs slowly. When I passed the second floor, I saw Tian Rong with her back to me. She looked at the door that Xiao Shi had closed and said, "Who is that?"

Tian Rong turned around and looked at me at the stairs, startled. I glanced at her and went downstairs without paying any attention to her.

I went into the kitchen to help. Half an hour later, the meal was ready. I went upstairs to call them to eat. When I arrived at Tian Rong's room, I saw her on the phone.

"Mom, don't worry, I've already edited the information."

"Yeah, wait a while..."

I knocked on the door, and Tian Rong looked at me in surprise. The thing in her hand fell to the ground. I looked down and saw that it was a very delicate bracelet. The bracelet was very small and felt like it was worn by a child.

Your bracelet seemed familiar. For a moment, I couldn’t think of where I had seen it. I wanted to take a closer look, but Tian Rong picked it up. She looked at me in panic.

"This bracelet..."

"My mother bought it for the baby in my belly." Before I finished speaking, Tian Rong spoke first.

I looked at Tian Rong's belly. According to the time calculation, she was only about two months pregnant. Could it be that she had already asked an acquaintance to see whether she was pregnant with a boy or a girl?

Seeing Tian Rong so nervously holding the bracelet in her hand, I looked at her with some amusement.

"Why? Are you afraid that I'll steal your things?"

Tian Rong looked at me and said nothing.

I rolled my eyes at her, said the meal was ready, and walked to the door. I stopped, turned my back to Tian Rong, and told her to call Xiao Shi.

Without waiting for Tian Rong to say anything, I went upstairs to call grandpa.

When I helped my grandfather downstairs, Tian Rong and Xiao Shi were already sitting at the dining table. When Tian Rong saw my grandfather coming down, she stood up, moved the chair away, and looked up at my grandfather.

"Dad, please sit down."

We all stayed silent while we finished the meal. After dinner, I helped Aunt Liu wash the dishes in the kitchen. Aunt Liu turned around and looked at me with concern, saying that she was tired these two days and asked me to go back and rest early.

I shook my head and said it was okay.

"Xiao Wan, if the young master knew you were like this, he would definitely be very sad. I'll wash the dishes, you should go upstairs and get some rest."

Just like that, I was pushed out of the kitchen by Liu Ma.

After entering the house, I stood in front of the window, reached out to open the window, and looked at the sky outside. There were many stars, and my eyes suddenly turned red.

"Jiang Ruohe, will you turn into a star and look at me in the sky?"

I closed the window uncomfortably and went into the bathroom.

After taking a shower, I lay on the bed. In the past two days, I was used to sleeping with someone hugging my waist. Now I am back to being alone. I really can't sleep. I can only look at the ceiling quietly, thinking about the beautiful past with Jiang Ruohe. Maybe I was too tired, and finally fell asleep.

The next morning, the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, I stood by the window, dug out a number from my phone, and dialed it.

"Hello." A lazy voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I'm Yu Xiaowan, and I need you to help me investigate something."

"Which Yu Xiaowan? It's my vacation time now. I don't accept orders. You can find another private detective."

Yin Jian hung up the phone on me directly. I glanced at the phone number and it seemed that I had no choice but to go to the detective agency to find another detective.

As soon as he turned around, the phone rang. He saw that it was Yin Jian calling, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Yu Xiaowan? Jiang Ruohe's wife? The Xiaowan we met in Qingcheng?"

I nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Let's make an appointment."

I named a restaurant.

"Baby, I..." Yin Jian was talking to someone on the phone. Before he finished speaking, I heard a bang.

The phone then appeared to have fallen to the ground.

"Fuck you, how dare you sleep with my wife." I heard a man yelling on the phone, and also heard the sound of several men beating Yin Jian, and finally mentioned compensation for damages.

I glanced at my phone with amusement. It looked like Yin Jian had been tricked by a beautiful woman and had been set up by a honey trap. I was about to call the police. But then I figured Yin Jian was pretty good at reaching out, so he shouldn't have any trouble dealing with a few big guys, so I hung up the phone.

An hour later, Yin Jian sat opposite me with half of his face covered, and he looked at me.

"You knew I was in danger, but you didn't help me."

I handed the menu to Yin Jian.

"How could I help you when we were so far apart? Should I call the police? If I did, you'd be called in, and your reputation as Detective Yin would be tarnished."

Yin Jian glanced at me.

"That's true."

I looked at him with a bit of a teasing look, saying I didn't expect he would have such a hobby.

"Yu Xiaowan, don't let your imagination run wild. I was fooled by that woman because her husband asked me to help investigate."

Yin Jian said that the woman's husband was his elementary school classmate. He came to him a few days ago to complain that his wife had been leaving early and coming back late late recently, and dressed very fashionably. She also wanted to divorce his classmate.

His classmate thought his wife was cheating on him, so he wanted Yin Jian to help him find evidence. In this way, if the woman was the one at fault, his classmate could get back custody of the child.

"So that's how it is. So you used the beauty trap, but you didn't expect that there was another trap waiting for you."

Yin Jian felt a little embarrassed. He turned around and ordered a few dishes from the waiter, then handed the menu back to the waiter.

I asked, "By the way, how much did you ask for to help your classmate check his wife?"

"What a joke! He's my friend, how could I possibly ask for money?"

I picked up a glass of warm water on the table and started drinking it. I looked up at him and asked him if we were friends.

"Of course, but I have to charge you for helping me find someone. Last time Jiang Ruohe asked me to help him find that person, it almost cost me my life..."

When mentioning Jiang Ruohe, Yin Jian's voice became lower. He raised his head and looked at me cautiously.

"I was just reading the news on my phone and heard that he..." He didn't say the rest of the sentence.

I put down the teacup in my hand, looked out the window uncomfortably, and hummed.

"Life is really unpredictable. He came to see me two days before he left." Yin Jian sighed.

I turned to look at Yin Jian and asked Jiang Ruohe what he wanted to do.

"Just like you, he was investigating someone and paid a 200,000 yuan deposit. He said that after the deal was done, I should ask his wife for 300,000 yuan."

I was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked Yin Jian who Jiang Ruohe wanted him to investigate.

Yin Jian took out his crushed cell phone and said that his phone was broken and he couldn't see the information. He looked up at me and asked me who I was going to ask him to investigate.

I took out my cell phone, found the photo my grandfather sent me, and handed it to Yin Jian.

Yin Jian looked at me in surprise and said that Jiang Ruohe had approached him in the first place just to ask him to find this person named Tian Wu.

"Did you check?"

Yin Jian leaned forward on the sofa.

"Sister, it's the end of December now, and the New Year is almost here. I need to rest too. I wanted to tell Jiang Ruohe about this, but he just threw a 200,000 yuan card at me and said he had other things to arrange, and then he left."

I looked at him and said that since the deposit had been received, we had to check it quickly.

"Okay, after I finish this meal, I'll start investigating. As for the remaining 300,000 yuan, Jiang Ruohe is gone, so I don't want it."

I told Yin Jian that if he could find this person for me within half a month, I would pay him the remaining 300,000 yuan in full, and give him an extra 100,000 yuan.

If Tian Wu could be found as soon as possible and Xiao Shi knew that there was someone else who attacked his mother, would he stop?

"Okay. Deal."

After a while, all the dishes were served. Yin Jian saw me staring out the window and called me. I came to my senses and looked at the rice in my bowl. I hadn't touched it at all.

"Man is iron and food is steel. You'd better eat more and don't exhaust your body."

I looked at Yin Jian in silence. Actually, I understood this truth, but the man I loved was gone, and I simply couldn't accept this fact. For a moment, I thought, how nice it would be to just go and accompany Jiang Ruohe, but I knew I couldn't.

I lowered my head, holding the chopsticks in my hand, and forced myself to eat a few mouthfuls of food. The food was so tasteless when I chewed it into my mouth.

Yin Jian sighed and put some dishes into my bowl.

"Xiao Wan, I don't know how to comfort you. I hope you can take good care of yourself. Sometimes, miracles may happen."

"Miracle?" I murmured.

It's already like this, how can I still hope for a miracle to happen? Unless Jiang Ruohe is still alive and standing in front of me, it will be a miracle for me, everything else is in vain.

Yin Jian glanced at me. Something strange flashed across his eyes.

"I always feel that this matter is not that simple. Forget it, I'd better help you find this person first."

Yin Jian ate a few mouthfuls in a hurry, put down his chopsticks, and told me that he was going to repair his phone first, and as soon as the phone was repaired, he would immediately help investigate Tian Wu.

I nodded. After Yin Jian left, I didn't leave immediately. My son put down his chopsticks and looked out the window. The New Year was about to come, and there were crowded people on both sides of the road. They were all immersed in the joy of being part of the group. It made me feel very uncomfortable to see it.

Just then, my phone rang. It was Han Liang who called. Han Liang said some words of comfort to me, asking me to take good care of myself during this period.

"If you don't eat, we friends will feel bad too."

I was stunned for a moment and looked at my phone with some confusion.

"How do you know I don't eat?"

On the other end of the phone, Han Liang coughed lightly and said, "This, this can be guessed."

"By the way, Xiaowan, Yan Yun and I have already started secretly investigating Xiao Shi and Han Ming. Don't worry, once we find evidence, we will definitely arrest them."

I nodded.

"Eat more and take good care of yourself. I'm going to hang up now."

After Han Liang hung up the phone, I looked out the window and was about to check out and leave when I heard someone calling me. I looked up and saw Xiaoyu, followed by Han Ming. When I saw Han Ming, my face turned cold. When he saw me, a complicated look flashed across his eyes.

Xiaoyu walked towards me quickly, sat next to me, took my hand, and looked at me with some heartache.

"I'm sorry, I've been back home with my mom lately. I don't know what happened. You must be very sad."

Xiaoyu put her arm around me and patted my back.

"I was planning to visit you tomorrow, but I didn't expect to see you here. Xiaowan, you must take care of yourself."

I didn't say anything, but just looked coldly at Han Ming who was standing behind Xiaoyu.

Han Ming glanced at me, called Xiaoyu, and asked her to go and see what was available to eat. Xiaoyu let go of me, got up and went to the checkout counter, where she took the menu and ordered food.

"Xiao Wan. Xiao Yu was not involved in these things. It has nothing to do with her. I hope you don't hold a grudge against Xiao Yu."

I snorted and looked up at Han Ming. I knew how much he took care of me when we were in the bar before. Now I realized that he was just as insincere as Xiao Shi.

"Mr. Xiao actually has real feelings for you."

I sneered and looked up at him.

"Han Ming, is Xiao Shi good to you? I'm curious, what makes you work so hard for him?"

"Tell me, how much money did Xiao Shi give you to help him like this? How about this, I'll pay you double the price and ask you to follow me to deal with Xiao Shi?"

Han Ming's face froze.

“Many things cannot be measured by money.”

Xiaoyu walked towards us. I glanced at Han Ming, stood up with my bag, looked at Xiaoyu, and said I had to go back now.

Xiaoyu looked at me with concern and reminded me again to take care of my health.

After leaving the restaurant, I walked home alone. Looking at all kinds of people walking past me, I felt a little uncomfortable.

Suddenly, I saw a man who looked very similar to Jiang Ruohe, walking forward with his back to me. My eyes turned red, and I ran towards him quickly, reaching out to grab him. The other person turned around and was a stranger.

The man looked at me with some confusion.

"I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." I looked at him apologetically and let go of his hand.

The man said something incomprehensible and left.

I walked slowly forward, my eyes growing more and more sore, and before I knew it, I had reached the edge of the bridge. There weren't many people on the two roads across the bridge. I stopped and looked down at the river below. This was where Jiang Ruohe had the accident.

Perhaps because he was too sad and upset, his eyes went dark, his body swayed backwards, and he fell directly to the ground. He opened his eyes weakly, as if he saw someone walking towards him in a hurry. He wanted to open his eyes to see who that person was, but he couldn't open his eyes.

In my dream, I heard someone calling me. I turned around and saw it was Jiang Ruohe. I quickly ran towards him and hugged him tightly.

"Ruohe, I missed you so much."

"I missed you, too."

He let me go and reached out to hook my nose.

"Silly boy, didn't I tell you I would come back? Wait for me for a while."

After he finished speaking, his body slowly disappeared.

I suddenly woke up from the bed, looked up and saw Aunt Liu sitting beside my bed, twisting the towel with her hand, looking at me with a distressed face.

A trace of sadness flashed across my eyes.

"Xiaowan, you're awake."

I asked Liu Ma what was wrong with me. Liu Ma said that I didn’t get enough rest in the past two days, and I was too sad, so I was weak and had a fever.

Aunt Liu told me to lie down quickly so she could cool me down.

I lay quietly on the bed, looking at the ceiling. Aunt Liu put a towel on my forehead. I suddenly turned to look at Aunt Liu and asked her who sent me back.

Liu Ma reluctantly said two words, saying it was Xiao Shi.

I didn't say anything.

"You take a rest first, I'll go downstairs and make some soup for you."

Aunt Liu said that she had wanted to stew soup for me before I woke up, but she was worried that Tian Rong would tamper with the soup while she was not in the kitchen, so she thought she would wait until I woke up before stewing the soup.

I said thank you to Liu Ma.

After Aunt Liu closed the door, I closed my eyes.

After a while, I heard someone turn the door and walk in. I thought it was Aunt Liu, but when I opened my eyes, it was Xiao Shi. My face turned cold and I forced myself to sit up from the bed.

"What are you doing? Get out."

Xiao Shi ignored my cold gaze, walked towards me, moved a chair beside the bed, sat down, reached out to pick up the towel that fell on my forehead from the quilt, put it in the basin beside him, wrung it dry, and handed it to me.

I didn't answer it, but just stared at Xiao Shi coldly.

Xiao Shi withdrew his hand angrily and looked up at me.

"Do you know what Jiang Nianhao did last night?"

I didn't say anything.

Xiao Shi said that he was going to treat all the managers and executives of Jiang Group to dinner.

"He wants to win over those people, and after the New Year..."

Although Xiao Shi didn't finish his words, I understood what he meant. It was just that Xiao Shi didn't know that by doing this, Jiang Nianhao would first deal with his son. But I also had to be wary of Jiang Nianhao, lest he deal with both of us at the same time.

"Xiao Wan, I know what Grandpa is thinking. He agreed to let me move into the Jiang family mansion just to let me check and balance Jiang Nianhao."

I looked at him and said, since you guessed it, then why is he still here?

"I came here just to see you more."

Xiao Shi stretched out his hand to stroke my face, but I opened his hand and pushed it away. Xiao Shi looked at me, sighed, put the towel in my hand, stood up, turned around and took two steps, then stopped and turned to look at me.

"Yu Xiaowan, how about we make a deal?"

"I'll help you deal with Jiang Nianhao and give up the fight for the Jiang family. How about you promise me one thing?"

I looked at him coldly and snorted.

"Xiao Shi, instead of making a deal with you, I might as well choose to join forces with Jiang Nianhao. After all, he is Jiang Ruohe's father. Even if Jiang's belongs to him, you, an outsider, will still be stronger."

Although Xiao Shi is Jiang Ruohe's half-brother, he was so cruel to Jiang Ruohe. In my opinion, he is not only an outsider, but also a murderer.

"Really?" A hint of sarcasm flashed across Xiao Shi's eyes.

"Yu Xiaowan, I guess you haven't figured out who the outsider is."

He didn't say much, just glanced at me and left my room.

Watching his back as he left, I clenched my fingers little by little, hating myself for not having any ability at all.

Three days passed peacefully. On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Nianhao went out every day during the day and came back drunk very late at night. It seemed that he had already started preparing.

Tian Rong has been going out quite frequently these days, and I don't have the heart to care what she does.

These past few days, I've been in my room looking through the information on Jiang's managers that Song Yan sent me, trying to understand their personalities and preferences, and taking the opportunity to ask Song Yan to find someone to keep an eye on Jiang Nianhao.

As for Xiao Shi, he seemed to have been at home these days, as if he had nothing to do, with no social engagements or anything. When he was met in the living room on the first floor, he was just sitting quietly on the sofa reading the newspaper.

I closed the documents in my hand, locked them in the drawer, stood up and left the room, and went into Grandpa's room. When I opened the door, I saw Grandpa standing in front of the window. His phone had slipped to the ground and he took two steps back. I hurried over to support Grandpa and let him sit on the edge of the bed. Seeing that he was trembling, I quickly found the medicine that Grandpa usually took from the table and poured him two pills.

After swallowing the medicine, grandpa felt better. He reached out and grabbed my hand with a sad look on his face.

"Xiao Wan, why didn't you tell me about Xiao Ting?"

Grandpa said he had planned to come over the next day and was going to call the drug rehabilitation center to ask for some leniency so that Jiang Ting could come back for the New Year. But he didn't expect that Jiang Ting would get into trouble. It happened on the same day as Jiang Ruohe's accident.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

I looked at my grandfather sadly and said that the situation at that time was over. Jiang Ruohe is gone. If we talk about this matter again, I am afraid that he really can't bear it.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry."

Grandpa felt uncomfortable for a long time before he wiped the tears from his face and stopped talking.

"Grandpa, I suspect Xiao Shi may have something to do with my aunt's death. He just doesn't admit it."

Grandpa shook his head. Seeing him like this made me a little confused.

"This is all retribution."

Grandpa murmured something and asked me to go out first, saying that he wanted to be quiet for a while. I looked at him worriedly, but still went out and helped him close the door.

Regardless, I still suspect Xiao Shi had something to do with my aunt's death. He'd even admitted it himself. He was the one who set Jiang Ting up with drugs and got the shares in the North City branch. He was also the one who tampered with Wang Yingzhi in the car. She'd originally intended to only cause minor injuries to herself and frame Tian Rong, but she hadn't expected...

And there's Jiang Ruohe's death. Given Xiao Shi's personality, how could he not have been the one who did what happened to Jiang Ting?

A few days passed like this, and it was the third day of the first lunar month. I had a rather depressing and uncomfortable New Year. At noon, Aunt Wang, who had returned from her hometown, came back. I asked Aunt Liu to pack up and planned to take her to the station.

Aunt Liu said her son Zhimin would come to pick her up. They planned to settle down in Nancheng and would go house hunting in a few days. I told Aunt Liu that if she didn't have enough money to buy a house, I could help. Aunt Liu quickly shook her head, saying that she already had the money for the down payment and didn't need help.

Aunt Liu took my hand and told me to take care of my health. After a while, Zi came over, greeted me, and left with Aunt Liu.

Just as I was about to enter the house, my cell phone rang. It was Yin Jian calling. I picked up the phone excitedly.

"Have you found Tian Wu's people?"

"I didn't find the person, but I found some clues."

I asked Yin Jian to tell me what the clue was.

"This Tian Wu is your stepmother's ex-husband."
