Chapter 45 Jiang Yuelan is missing!

Jiang Yuelan was also taken aback when she saw Zhou Yuchu.

Thinking that she had previously mistaken Zhou Yuchu for Mrs. Fu, she felt that she had truly let her daughter down!

When her daughter was being cyberbullied, she actually apologized to Zhou Yuchu...

Memories flooded back, and Jiang Yuelan's hand holding the New Year's gifts tightened slightly. She wasn't a strong-willed person, but she naturally resented the person who had interfered in her daughter's marriage.

“I’m not familiar with Miss Zhou. Please call me Ms. Jiang!” Jiang Yuelan said coldly.

Zhou Yuchu's smile froze for a moment, then she looked puzzled and innocent. "Aunt Jiang, what's wrong? Didn't we have a good chat last time?"

“I didn’t know you were last time…” Jiang Yuelan stopped abruptly, turning to look at Aunt Qin outside the door.

"Aqin, put your things down and wait for me outside. I have something to say to Mr. Fu."

Aunt Qin nodded, put down the New Year's gifts in her hand, turned around and went to the reception area outside to wait for Jiang Yuelan.

Jiang Yuelan looked at Zhou Yuchu and said, "Miss Zhou, would you please excuse us as well?"

Zhou Yu frowned, her beautiful eyes showing a hint of grievance. "Aunt Jiang, are you in a bad mood?"

A fire was burning in Jiang Yuelan's heart!

Her own marriage was ruined by a third party, and now her daughter is following in her footsteps...

Jiang Yuelan grew angrier the more she thought about it, so she decided to simply break off all pretense of civility.

“Ms. Zhou, A-Shu kept it from me before to save face for everyone, but don’t forget, A-Shu and Attorney Fu haven’t gotten their divorce certificate yet! They are still legally married! As a third party, you should have some shame!”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu was taken aback, and then the color drained from his face.

“Aunt Jiang…” Her eyes reddened, and she shook her head innocently, “It’s not what you think…”

"I don't want to get involved with you too much."

Jiang Yuelan interrupted Zhou Yuchu's explanation and looked at Fu Siyan, "Attorney Fu, I have always been grateful to you, so before Ashu confessed to me, I never doubted your character. I have always sincerely wished you and Miss Zhou well, but the truth is, you have let Ashu down..."

Jiang Yuelan's voice choked as she spoke, and she took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

Fu Siyan frowned, his dark eyes fixed on Jiang Yuelan.

"The matter between Shen Qingshu and me cannot be explained in a few words. I understand your heartache for your daughter, but Xiao Chu did nothing wrong in this matter, she..."

Fu Siyan's phone vibrated again; it was from the investigators in charge of the case.

"Excuse me, I need to take this call."

Fu Siyan walked out of the office with his phone in his hand.

Jiang Yuelan frowned. Seeing Fu Siyan's attitude, she felt that she shouldn't have come today.

She placed the New Year's gifts on the table and turned to leave.

"Aunt Jiang, are you leaving already?"

Jiang Yuelan paused, turned around to look at Zhou Yuchu, and for some reason, felt that this face was becoming more and more familiar...

“Aunt Jiang spent five years in prison, so I can understand that there are many things she doesn’t know.”

Zhou Yuchu walked over, her gentle voice lowered, "Actually, please don't be angry. Let me tell you the story."

Jiang Yuelan frowned and stared at her.

"Back then, Si Yan made a deal with Miss Shen through a marriage of convenience. Miss Shen and Si Yan secretly married, and Si Yan defended you. Their marriage of convenience was so that they could raise Si Yu as a legal couple."

"You've heard of Siyu, right? He's the son that Siyan and I had five years ago. Back then, I was at the peak of my career, and Siyan didn't want me to let the child interfere with my career, so he came up with this solution."

Zhou Yuchu's tone remained completely innocent. "Aunt Jiang, you've really misunderstood me. I'm not a mistress. Siyan and I are childhood sweethearts. We've been in love for many years. Your daughter isn't the legal wife either. She's just a tool for me and Siyan to raise our child."

Jiang Yuelan stared wide-eyed at Zhou Yuchu in disbelief.

“How could this be…” she shook her head. “I don’t believe it. How could A-Shu be so foolish! If she was just helping you raise your child, then why would she…”

How did I end up pregnant again?

Her Ah Shu wouldn't be that stupid.

Jiang Yuelan clutched her aching chest, "I don't believe it, I'm going back to ask A-Shu..."

She turned and stumbled out.

"Aunt Jiang." Zhou Yu stepped forward and grabbed her arm. "Don't rush off, there's something I haven't told you yet!"

Jiang Yuelan tried to push her away, but Zhou Yuchu held on tightly and whispered in her ear, "Do you still remember Lin Lanyi?"

Jiang Yuelan's struggling movements froze.

Zhou Yuchu released her, took a step back, and looked at Jiang Yuelan's widening eyes. He smiled gently and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhou Yuchu, and Lin Lanyi is my mother."

boom!

All the color drained from Jiang Yuelan's face!

“You, you are actually…” Jiang Yuelan raised her hand, her trembling finger pointing at Zhou Yuchu, “You are actually that bitch’s daughter…”

"Oh, right." Zhou Yuchu took out her phone and opened the video of Shen Qingshu kneeling at the Shen family's door yesterday. "Aunt Jiang, please take a good look at this video."

"I heard that Miss Shen offered herself up to the Shen family to humiliate you in order to get treatment for your illness. I, an outsider, am deeply moved by Miss Shen's filial piety!"

Jiang Yuelan's gaze slowly shifted until it landed on the video playback screen on Zhou Yuchu's phone.

Shen Qingshu was forced to slam her head against the ground by Shen Yanying...

Jiang Yuelan felt as if her heart was being torn apart. She couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she turned around and stumbled out.

...

When Fu Siyan returned after finishing his phone call, Jiang Yuelan had already left.

He glanced at the New Year's gifts on the table, frowned, and asked Zhou Yuchu, "Did she leave a message?"

Zhou Yuchu sat on the sofa, looked up at Fu Siyan, and shook her head innocently.

"Aunt Jiang seemed to be in a bad mood. I tried to explain to her about you and Miss Shen, but she wouldn't listen and just left after putting down her things."

Upon hearing this, Fu Siyan nodded and said nothing more.

...

On the way back from the law firm, Jiang Yuelan remained silent.

Aunt Qin noticed that she was in a bad mood and kept talking to her, but she didn't respond.

After arriving home, Jiang Yuelan said she was feeling tired and went into her room to rest.

Aunt Qin didn't think much of it, glanced at the time, and went out to buy groceries as usual.

An hour later, Aunt Qin prepared lunch and went to knock on Jiang Yuelan's door to call her to eat.

After knocking several times without response, Aunt Qin pushed open the door.

The room was empty; Jiang Yuelan was not there.

Aunt Qin searched all over the house but couldn't find him. She went downstairs to search again but still couldn't find him!

A sense of foreboding washed over her, and she hurriedly called Shen Qingshu…
