Judging from her grandfather Deng Yunbo's reaction, Jiang Xile guessed that there must be some inside story she didn't know.

So she gently calmed her grandfather down and guided him to tell her what he wanted to know.

Grandpa's words perfectly confirmed Jiang Xile's thoughts: it turned out that Jiang Wanmin knew from the beginning that the original owner was not her biological daughter.

How could Deng Yunbo and Yang Xueqin not know that their beloved daughter was pregnant?

However, since their daughter was unwilling to give up the child in her womb, they could only help cover it up.

It was at this time that Jiang Wanmin came into the sights of Deng Yunbo and Deng Chunxia.

On the eve of her wedding, Deng Chunxia had already confessed her past to Jiang Wanmin.

Despite being deeply hurt, after careful consideration, Jiang Wanmin accepted the child in Deng Chunxia's womb.

The two resolved their differences, and their relationship progressed further.

Deng Chunxia also expressed her willingness to let go of the past, start anew, and live a good life with Jiang Wanmin.

And so, the two got married, and with Deng Yunbo's help, Jiang Wanmin became a worker.

To ensure the young couple could live a peaceful life together, Deng Yunbo even went to great lengths to apply for and secure a wedding home for them.

Unexpectedly, the good times didn't last long. After giving birth to Jiang Xile, Deng Chunxia was unable to conceive again for a long time.

At first, Wanmin thought it was just a matter of fate, but later he was surprised to learn that Deng Chunxia was secretly using contraception.

Because of this, the couple had a major conflict, and Jiang Wanmin's attitude changed again after that.

Jiang Wanmin believes that Deng Chunxia is unwilling to have children with him because she still misses her ex-husband, Jiang Xile's biological father.

Another reason is for Jiang Xile's sake; he's afraid that after he has his own child, he'll mistreat Jiang Xile.

No matter how you look at it, Jiang Wanmin couldn't accept it, so he distanced himself from Jiang Xile and stopped showing her the care he used to.

The relationship between the two only improved after Deng Chunxia became pregnant again, but unexpectedly, Deng Chunxia suffered a difficult childbirth.

During the two years that Jiang Wanmin was bedridden, he became involved with Zhang Guilian. When Deng Yunbo found out about this, he immediately confronted Jiang Wanmin.

For the sake of his daughter, granddaughter, and newborn grandson, Deng Yunbo had to use both soft and hard tactics, coercion and enticement, to get Jiang Wanmin to make a promise.

He simply didn't want to, and thus angered Jiang Wanmin, which led him to do something extreme: he personally took action and, together with others, reported the Deng family.

As a result, the entire Deng family was labeled as capitalist roaders, and Deng Yunbo's eldest son, Deng Yongchang, and his wife, Shen Feiyao, along with their two underage children, were sent to a farm for reform through labor.

Deng Yunbo and Yang Xueqin were sent to the Qianjin Brigade for reform after being imprisoned for a period of time.

"Before the family incident, I divided the assets that could be transferred into three parts."

One portion was given to your eldest uncle, one portion was kept by us, and the remaining portion was given to your father, Jiang Wanmin.

Your only request is that he take good care of you and your brother and not marry someone else before you come of age.

I just never expected that this ungrateful wretch would take so much money, yet treat you so cruelly and make you suffer so much!

Looking at her grandfather, whose face was full of self-blame, and her grandmother, whose face was full of heartache, Jiang Xile couldn't describe the feeling in her heart.

Before the apocalypse, she had always lived alone, having grown up in an orphanage.

A person, through their own efforts, completed university with the help of scholarships and student loans.

Just when they had the ability to give back to society, they were unexpectedly met with the apocalypse, which exposed the ugliness of human nature.

Having never experienced familial love before, she never expected to feel the warmth of family and the care of relatives in this unfamiliar time and space.

It's easy to hear Deng Yunbo's worry and helplessness in his words.

At that time, given his situation, fulfilling Jiang Wanmin's request was the best arrangement he could make.

After all, Jiang Ping'an is Jiang Wanmin's biological son. But who would have thought that Jiang Wanmin would go back on his word after accepting the money?

"Grandpa, Grandma, don't be sad anymore. It's all in the past now!"

Besides, I've avenged myself. Before going to the countryside, I had already received a lot of benefits from Jiang Wanmin.

Even the work that Zhang Guilian had monopolized, I ruined. I didn't say anything before, because I was afraid you'd think I went too far!

"Good boy, you did the right thing. Just taking a beating without fighting back is not the style of the Deng family!"

Even though he knew that Jiang Xile had already retaliated, Deng Yunbo was still very angry.

Yang Xueqin, however, looked worried. After hesitating for a long time, she finally asked:

"Lele, you've gone to the countryside, what about Ping An? Is he alright? How is your dad... no, Jiang Wanmin, treating Ping An?"

As their daughter's child, Jiang Ping'an held no less weight in their hearts than Jiang Xile.

Although it was expected, Jiang Xile still felt a little disappointed when she heard her grandmother ask about Jiang Ping'an's situation.

She prefers unique, exclusive affection, not care that can be easily replaced.

Jiang Xile has very high standards when it comes to both family and romantic relationships.

"Jiang Wanmin is very good to Jiang Ping'an. Because of his attention, Zhang Guilian also tries to please Jiang Ping'an."

At least when I left Anding City, Jiang Ping'an never wore a patched garment, nor did he ever go hungry!

"But Zhang Guilian..."

Yang Xueqin was about to say something when Deng Yunbo interrupted her.
