Jiang Rong smiled and said, "I didn't expect that after all these years, my cousin still remembers me."

Qiao Zhaodi frowned: "Why do you want to hide your identity?"

"If you knew I was that poor wretch Jiang Rong, you probably wouldn't agree to work with me, right?" Jiang Rong said, "After all, that scene back then is deeply ingrained in you, isn't it?"

Qiao Zhaodi was silent.

When Jiang Rong was still young, Jiang Peihong's attitude towards the Qiao family was not as evasive as it is now. The children of the Qiao family would occasionally go to the Jiang family villa to play.

Qiao Zhaodi once accidentally witnessed Qiao Yixiuan abusing her, and was subsequently targeted by Qiao Yixiuan because of this.

"...You're right." Qiao Zhaodi said with a lost look, "If I had known your identity earlier, I wouldn't have the courage to take this gamble."

Jiang Rong looked at Qiao Zhaodi for a while before saying, "Actually, I know you suffered a lot because of that incident, but cousin, I don't think it was my fault, so I won't apologize."

"When you go abroad, live a good life. By then, you will be free."

Jiang Rong put on his hat and walked out of the ward. Qiao Zhaodi couldn't help but ask, "What about you? Why did you return to this cage?"

Jiang Rong said nonchalantly: "As you can see, isn't he taking revenge?"

…

Qiao Xun really lived up to Jiang Rong's expectations in terms of causing trouble. He actually went straight to Jiang's company to find Jiang Peihong. Qiao Yixuan, who had tried her best to hide this matter from Jiang Peihong, was so angry when she found out that she rushed to the company and took Qiao Xun away.

It is said that the scene was very lively - Qiao Xun held Jiang Peihong's trouser legs and was unwilling to let go, Jiang Peihong's face was full of disgust but he had to endure it, Qiao Yixuan was shocked and scared, and finally ordered the bodyguards to forcibly drag Qiao Xun into the car.

With such a big thing happening to the Qiao family, Jiang Peihong felt even more disgusted. Jiang Rong took the opportunity to reveal the news to his concubines.

Jiang Peihong is a very romantic man. He has a lot of mistresses at home and many outside. He has kept countless mistresses over the years, but only three of them were able to maintain long-term relationships with him. The most amazing one was the one who came to Qiao Yixuan's house with a big belly and asked her to recognize her as his "sister".

This incident was also the fuse of Jiang Rong's unfortunate childhood.

For the sake of her own status, Qiao Yixuan did not make trouble with Jiang Peihong. She even accepted the second wife in a friendly manner on the surface. However, she secretly contacted her own brother Qiao Zhouyi to abort the child in this woman's belly.

So if we were to ask who hated Qiao Yixiuan the most over the years, it would definitely be Jiang Peihong’s second wife.

Now that Qiao Yixuan had such a big handle, she certainly would not let it go. She immediately started whispering in Jiang Peihong's ear, so that when Qiao Yixuan wanted to find Jiang Peihong to explain, she couldn't find anyone at all.

Jiang Peihong refused to see her, which was what Qiao Yixuan feared most.

She had to deal with her own affairs while also dealing with Qiao Zhouyi's affairs. She was so busy that she looked like she had aged more than ten years in just two days.

Jiang Rong looked indifferently at the follow-up report on the Qiao Zhouyi case on the screen. Qiao Yixiuan in the photo looked haggard and embarrassed, far from the image of the strong and irresistible mother in her memory.

Jiang Rong would even find it ridiculous. Has she been abused by such a person for more than ten years?

"What are you looking at?" someone suddenly asked behind her.

Jiang Rong was stunned. When he turned around, he saw Shang Shaoheng had returned without him noticing.

It was raining outside, and there was still some moisture on his coat, which made his brows and eyes look cold.

"...Are you a ghost? You suddenly appeared behind someone." Jiang Rong turned off the tablet, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he said, "I'm just watching the show."

"Jiang family matters?"

Jiang Rong didn't answer directly, but said, "I'm a little surprised that Jiang Peihong hasn't filed for divorce yet. He's such a heartless person. Why hasn't he made any move with such a good opportunity to get rid of Qiao Yixuan?"

"I have some news that you might be interested in." Shang Shaoheng raised his eyebrows. "I looked into your childhood and found something very interesting."

Jiang Rong knew from his tone that this information was definitely not free, and crossed his arms and said, "How interesting can it be?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this is why Jiang Peihong still hates you even though he doesn't know you're not his biological daughter."

Jiang Rong was stunned.

When she was young, she had thought about pursuing fatherly love. After all, other children had good relationships with their fathers, and she was envious of them.

But after she used her brain a little, she realized that she would probably never get this kind of thing from Jiang Peihong in her entire life.

Although she no longer has such unrealistic expectations of Jiang Peihong, she is still quite curious about why Jiang Peihong is like this. Is it simply because their auras don't match?

"If I want to know the answer, what kind of reward should I pay you?" Jiang Rong asked.

Shang Shaoheng didn't say anything.

He stood behind the sofa, looking down at her. Jiang Rong sat cross-legged on the sofa, looking up at him.

Although he didn't say anything, Jiang Rong understood what he meant.

"..." Jiang Rong sighed softly and said, "Lower your head a little more."

Shang Shaoheng did as he was told, and Jiang Rong hooked her arms around his neck, kissed him on the side of his cheek, and said, "Alright, tell me now."

Shang Shaoheng was not very satisfied: "You are too perfunctory."

"It's a business deal. Don't you give your boss a hard time when you're working?"

Shang Shaoheng: "I've never worked."

Jiang Rong: “…”

"Your adoptive father seems to believe in all sorts of supernatural things." Shang Shaoheng sat down next to Jiang Rong and said, "The company even has several Feng Shui masters on staff all year round."

Jiang Rong: "...Yes, he believes this, but he doesn't believe it. A Feng Shui master once said that Jiang Panyu was some kind of Tianyue star that had descended to earth. As long as Jiang Panyu lived well, he would live well too. He was afraid that Jiang Panyu would not be happy."

"The reason Jiang Panyu is doing well is the same as the reason you're not," Shang Shaoheng said calmly, "When you were three years old, Qiao Yixuan paid a fortune teller a fortune teller who said you were doomed to fail and would bring disaster to your parents. "Keeping you around would only bring disaster to you."

Jiang Rong was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

She leaned back on the sofa and thought about it.

It seemed that before she was three years old, her relationship with Jiang Peihong was not that bad. It turned out that this was the crux of the problem.

"I'm very curious," Shang Shaoheng said, "What happened when you were three years old that made your adoptive mother do something like this to alienate you from your adoptive father?"

That was when Qiao Yixuan was caught having an affair by Xiao Jiangrong, and she was worried day and night.
