As Jiang Yongxian explained, he was so angry that his teeth itched.

He has already asked around and found out the whole story.

The key to Huo Beixiao's miraculous comeback was Yang Qiaoqiao.

He almost suspected that Yang Qiaoqiao, his blood-related younger sister, was there to bring him bad luck. No matter what he did, as long as it involved Yang Qiaoqiao, it would never go well for him.

And then there's Qin Haiyang, that good-for-nothing. Nobody knows what was in that envelope, but after reading it, he went crazy and confessed everything they made him do.

He did consider checking what was written in the envelope, but the person who helped him inquire said that Qin Haiyang ate the letter on the spot after reading it.

The police officers guarding him tried to snatch it but failed.

Fortunately, even if Qin Haiyang was crazy, he wasn't crazy enough to bring him and the Jiang family into this mess.

They only said he was acting out of jealousy.

Because the person he was originally going to marry was Yang Qiaoqiao, but Jiang Yiran schemed against him, so he ended up marrying Jiang Yiran instead.

Now, seeing Huo Beixiao, who married Yang Qiaoqiao, with his business growing bigger and bigger and his life getting better and better, he felt that if he had married Yang Qiaoqiao, he would be the successful one now.

So he was jealous, he hated, and he wanted to destroy Huo Beixiao and take back the woman who belonged to him.

When Jiang Yongxian heard Qin Haiyang say these words, he thought he was really crazy. He didn't have any ability. He thought he could become rich by marrying another woman. What a dream.

"Dad, should I go back myself? I definitely won't let Huo Beixiao keep causing trouble..." Jiang Yongxian said cautiously, his heart trembling.

What if He Zhengguo really lets him go back...

He had thoroughly investigated Huo Beixiao during this period. Huo Beixiao was meticulous in his work, so it was virtually impossible for him to find any loopholes in Huo Beixiao's actions and then kill him.

If he wants to deal with Huo Beixiao, he can only do what Qin Haiyang did: artificially create loopholes for Huo Beixiao.

But the consequences of doing so...

Qin Haiyang serves as a cautionary tale.

But he was gambling; he was gambling that He Zhengguo wouldn't let Qin Haiyang go back after his recent accident.

Just as he was so nervous that his back was soaked with cold sweat, He Zhengguo finally raised his hand and said, "No need."

Judging from this situation, Huo Beixiao and your younger sister must have a mastermind behind them.

Moreover, after this incident, the top officials of Sichuan Province and Shanghai City have already taken notice of them. If we take action against them now, they will become too high a target.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yongxian secretly breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, he had won his bet.

Although he won the bet, his legs were still weak when he left the He family's house.

Despite it being the middle of summer, a gust of wind outside sent a shiver through him.

"Son, what's wrong?"

Before he could react, Peng Cuiying suddenly appeared out of nowhere and supported him, asking worriedly.

Jiang Yongxian was startled.

After regaining her senses, she looked at Peng Cuiying with an impatient expression, "Mom, why did you come to my house? Didn't the Jiang family say that even if Jiang Yiran ran away, you could still live in the house?"

Upon hearing Jiang Yongxian's words, Peng Cuiying began to wipe away her tears.

"Son! You have no idea, that house is uninhabitable! I live in that house and every night I hear you crying!"

It must be that brat Ranran gave birth to; she's still resentful and staying in that house!

Jiang Yongxian immediately straightened his face. "Mom, what nonsense are you spouting? Is it appropriate to say such superstitious and supernatural things?"

Peng Cuiying was so frightened by Jiang Yongxian's rebuke that she dared not cry anymore and shrank back.

Jiang Yongxian lowered his voice and continued angrily, "Mom, we were born in the spring breeze and grew up under the red flag. Have you forgotten what happened during the destruction of the Four Olds?"

"No... I haven't forgotten..." Peng Cuiying could only shrink her neck and reply softly.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Yongxian softened his tone slightly, "Don't say things like that again."

Peng Cuiying didn't dare mention the child crying in the house again, and cautiously said, "Son, could you give Mom some money?"

Jiang Yongxian frowned again and glared at Peng Cuiying. "Didn't I just give you five yuan last month? Why are you asking for money again?"

"I collect my monthly salary every year, where would I get the money?"

Peng Cuiying was so scolded by Jiang Yongxian that she didn't dare to breathe loudly.

But she could only bite the bullet and say, "Son, I've given you all my savings, including the two thousand yuan the Jiang family gave me."

Mom lives alone in that house now, and she has no income. She needs money to buy rice, vegetables, and coal. She really can't survive. For the past two days, she's been eating rotten vegetable leaves she picked up from the market..."

As Peng Cuiying spoke, she couldn't help but wipe away her tears.

Think back to how glamorous she was in the Yunxian Food Factory's residential compound!

The man is the deputy factory director. His eldest son and second son are a government official in Beijing and a military officer, respectively. His third son also has a job. He pampers his youngest daughter and spoils her. Who wouldn't envy her?

Everyone speaks to her politely. While other families might eat meat once a month or even once every two months, her family can enjoy meat every day.

What about now?

She ate rotten vegetable leaves at the market like a beggar woman, and anyone could spit on her.

Jiang Yongxian was extremely annoyed when she brought up the past again.

He pulled five yuan from his sock and stuffed it into her hand. "Here you go. Don't keep coming to me. Even if Lao San is in jail and Jiang Yiran has disappeared, you still have a son!"

What's with all that stalking me and sucking my blood all day?

Peng Cuiying clutched the five yuan, listening to Jiang Yongxian's impatient words. Even though she now depended on Jiang Yongxian for support, she was so angry that her chest heaved violently.

"Jiang Yongxian, listen to what you're saying. Is this even human? Over the years, how much money have your father and I spent on raising you?"

When you bought the house, your dad and I emptied our savings and even gave you a subsidy of 10,000 yuan. Now that your dad is gone, I need you to support me, and this is how you treat your mother?

Previously, Peng Cuiying was mindful of Jiang Yongxian's position as an official and his future prospects, fearing that such a scandal would damage his reputation.

But now, the son she so desperately wants to protect not only despises her, but also calls her a bloodsucker.

"Jiang Yongxian, let me tell you, anyone can call me a bloodsucker, but you have no right to!" Peng Cuiying roared angrily.

Her howl instantly attracted the attention of passersby.

Immediately, people looked in their direction.

Jiang Yongxian frowned quickly, took a step closer to Peng Cuiying, and lowered his voice, saying, "Mom, what are you doing? There are so many people watching, why are you howling? Do you really want to ruin me?"

Seeing him like this, Peng Cuiying relaxed instead.

He snorted coldly and said, "Jiang Yongxian, you know fear now? Let me tell you, your father and I used to do everything we could to raise you, and most of the family's money went to you."

"If you don't support me, I won't just cause trouble here, I'll go to your workplace and make a scene. I'll go to your boss and have them judge whether we've wronged you or not, and whether you should support me at all!"
