That night, Jiang Jiahua had a dream.

In the dream, Jiang Qiaoqiao completely severed ties with the Yang family, just as they had planned, and her two daughters did not end up in a marriage exchange.

After Jiang Qiaoqiao married Qin Haiyang, just as they expected, she tried her best to please them and support them, no matter how poor she was.

However, his family didn't really like Jiang Qiaoqiao, until Jiang Qiaoqiao, through her own efforts, helped Qin Haiyang become the richest man in the country.

Peng Cuiying still frequently expressed her dissatisfaction with her.

He was also dissatisfied with Jiang Qiaoqiao because she earned so much money, but instead of giving it all back to them, she only gave them a fixed amount.

They did not wholeheartedly support Jiang Yongxian's business, but only negotiated deals with him.

He felt that his daughter was too ungrateful, so he instigated Qin Haiyang to strip her of her power in the company.

In his dream, he thought he could control the company without Jiang Qiaoqiao, but he never expected that the company would fall into Qin Haiyang's hands.

In order to eliminate him, Qin Haiyang even conspired with Jiang Yiran to give him a drug that could cause heart failure.

Jiang Yiran drugged him without hesitation, all for the sake of money.

In his dream, before he died, he suddenly realized his mistake and wanted to tell Jiang Qiaoqiao, but he was already speechless.

Shortly after his death, he saw Jiang Yiran stab Jiang Qiaoqiao in the heart with a fruit knife.

That idiot Peng Cuiying not only didn't stop them, but also helped Jiang Yiran hold Jiang Qiaoqiao down. In the end, Jiang Yong'an and Peng Cuiying helped Jiang Yiran dismember Jiang Qiaoqiao.

In his dream, he felt as if a pair of giant hands were about to crush her heart.

He suddenly woke up, sat up abruptly, and rushed towards the cell door, crying, "Comrade, comrade... I want to see my daughter, I want to see Qiaoqiao..."

Jiang Jiahua never got to see Jiang Qiaoqiao.

As he was being led to the execution ground, he thought about how different the current Jiang Qiaoqiao was from the one in his dreams.

Then I thought of the dream Jiang Yiran had mentioned.

He suddenly realized something.

Did... Qiaoqiao also have that dream?

"Bang!"

But with the sound of a gunshot, he no longer had the chance to find the answer.

After returning to collect Jiang Jiahua's body, Jiang Yongchang went to see Yang Qiaoqiao.

Although they had spoken on the phone before, the two were not familiar with each other, and when Yang Qiaoqiao saw Jiang Yongchang again, she didn't have anything to say.

"Qiaoqiao, can I still call you my sister?" Jiang Yongchang asked first.

"Second Brother." Yang Qiaoqiao's initial discomfort vanished instantly, and she called out with a smile.

Regardless of her past or present life, Jiang Yongchang had never wronged her. She was a person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment, and would not hold a grudge against Jiang Yongchang because of other members of the Jiang family.

Jiang Yongchang's tense expression softened. "I'm sorry."

Yang Qiaoqiao shook her head. "I can't tell you it's okay on behalf of my dad. I can only say, second brother, you don't need to apologize. You didn't do it, it has nothing to do with you. Besides, the criminal has already been punished by law."

She was actually grateful that Jiang Yongchang didn't offer any help to Jiang Jiahua and his son Jiang Yong'an in this matter.

Many of Jiang Yongchang's comrades-in-arms worked in the public security system after being demobilized. If he wanted to help, Jiang Jiahua's death sentence might not have been handed down.

Jiang Yongchang chatted with Yang Qiaoqiao for a while longer. The two had gotten along quite well when they last met.

But now that they meet again, even if both sides understand the situation, there are still two lives between them.

They can no longer get along as harmoniously as before.

After chatting for a while, Yang Qiaoqiao politely invited Jiang Yongchang to her home for dinner.

Jiang Yongchang looked at her with a complicated expression. "No need. I only asked for three days off from the army. I have to catch the train now."

Yang Qiaoqiao nodded, "Okay, then we'll meet again when we have the chance."

"Goodbye." Jiang Yongchang nodded slightly and turned to leave.

Yang Qiaoqiao watched Jiang Yongchang's retreating figure, thinking that they might never have the chance to see each other again in this lifetime.

After all, these things didn't happen in her previous life. She was still wholeheartedly trying to maintain her kinship with the Jiang family. She and Jiang Yongchang barely met, let alone now.

Jiang Yongchang hadn't taken more than a few steps when he suddenly turned back and called out to her, "Qiaoqiao."

Yang Qiaoqiao looked up at Jiang Yongchang.

"Qiaoqiao, if you're willing, you'll always be my sister."

Yang Qiaoqiao was stunned for a while before she came to her senses and nodded emphatically, "Okay, Second Brother!"

Hearing her call him "Second Brother" so sincerely, Jiang Yongchang's smile grew even warmer.

"Second brother is leaving first. My wedding with your sister-in-law is set for the eighth day of the fifth month. You must come then."

Yang Qiaoqiao nodded, "Okay, definitely."

After Jiang Yongchang left, Yang Qiaoqiao noticed that Yang Jianguo was standing not far away at some point.

She asked, somewhat puzzled, "Brother, what brings you here?"

Yang Jianguo forced a smile as he looked at her, a fleeting hint of disappointment in his eyes. "Qiaoqiao, Mom made stewed an old hen today. You and Beixiao don't need to cook tonight, come over and eat with us."

"good."

Yang Qiaoqiao followed Yang Jianguo out the door.

Throughout the journey, Yang Jianguo kept glancing at her, and several times he seemed about to say something but then stopped himself.

Yang Qiaoqiao finally couldn't hold back any longer and said with a bit of a laugh, "Brother, just say what you want to say."

Yang Jianguo chuckled sheepishly and scratched the back of his head. "It's nothing really, it's just that today... I was worried you'd be upset."

After Yang Jianguo finished speaking, he hurriedly added, "Qiaoqiao, if you feel uncomfortable, just say it. Don't keep it inside and make yourself sick."

After all, he is Qiaoqiao's biological father.
