Cheng Ran unconditionally supported all of Jiang Wanqing's decisions, and even created conditions to support her if there were none. Later, he asked her about her past life, not much, but even from the few words she spoke, he could feel the hardships she had endured.
Cheng Ran's heart was filled with heartache. If only he could have fulfilled his marriage agreement with her earlier in his previous life, but unfortunately they didn't know each other back then. There are no "what ifs" in life. Fortunately, God gave her another chance, which was also a blessing for him...
Jiang Wanqing thought he would feel a little uncomfortable knowing what happened to her in her past life, but he became even more clingy.
On the way home, he kept close to her. Jiang Wanqing almost bumped into the wall. She turned her head to look at him and cleared her throat.
"Could you... could you keep your distance from me? I'm almost out of options."
Cheng Ran took her hand and pulled her away, smiling infatuatedly.
"With me here, I will never leave you with nowhere to go."
Uh... The sudden confession and vow caught Jiang Wanqing off guard. She pursed her lips and remained silent, but the smile on her lips betrayed her feelings at that moment.
She gambled correctly once again. Human nature is complex, and so is Cheng Ran, but his unwavering love for her proves that in this life, she truly has a wonderful husband who is completely devoted to her.
"Mom and Dad, is it cold outside?"
As soon as the couple entered the courtyard, Nannan ran over and said that Cheng Ran was holding Jiang Wanqing tightly, and the posture looked just like two lovers warming each other in winter.
Jiang Jianguo and Xue He came out when they heard the noise, burst out laughing, and quickly took Nannan away.
"Silly child, your parents have such a deep love for each other, otherwise how could you be such a clever little thing? Come on, Grandpa and Grandma will take you to bed."
The two elders took the little light bulb away, then turned back and gave Jiang Wanqing and Cheng Ran a wink, as if to reassure them, as if they were ready to have a second child even today.
Jiang Wanqing's face turned bright red. She tried to pull her hand out of Cheng Ran's palm, but he gripped it even tighter.
"It's too late, go wash up and go to bed, let go of me."
"You can accomplish these things even without loosening your grip, or are you just looking down on me?"
No! Don't talk nonsense!
Why is he acting all coquettish? Jiang Wanqing glanced at him, she couldn't bear to look at him, and let him lead her inside.
Their relationship returned to its passionate stage. In her spare time, Jiang Wanqing compiled Du Heng's incriminating evidence and handed it over to Cheng Ran for him to handle.
A few days later, the day when Du Heng's detention period was about to end arrived, Su Su and the Du family prepared things to ward off bad luck early in the morning and waited for him to come out of the detention center.
As the time drew nearer, the iron gate creaked open. Du Heng thanked the guards and walked towards his family.
His parents' eyes welled up with tears, and Du Ming was also very excited, while Su Su remained quite calm.
“Son, you’re finally out. This time you were pecked in the eye by an eagle. Who knew that Jiang Wanqing, a woman, could be so ruthless! She didn’t even care about her reputation just to send you in! Luckily, she broke off her relationship with you early on.”
Du's mother went on and on, and Du Ming, who was initially happy that his brother had finally come out, couldn't help but chime in after hearing this.
"Mom, Sister-in-law Wanqing is a victim. If my brother hadn't done bad things, he wouldn't have... ah..."
Du Ming was suddenly pinched, and he gasped in pain. His mother glared at him.
"How dare you say that! Your Commander Cheng is no good either. I heard he saved your life, so I thought he was a great guy, but I didn't expect him to be as petty and narrow-minded as a woman!"
"Mom, you're going too far! I'm just being reasonable, not biased towards my family."
Du Ming felt wronged. He was caught in the middle and had been scolded. He was very upset.
"Alright, Mom, Du Ming is still young and stubborn. I'll teach him a lesson when I get back!"
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Turn around, and Mom will clean the bad luck off you."
With a thick branch and green leaves in her hand, Du's mother swept them all over him, leaving only a few on his feet to complete the ceremony. Suddenly, several policemen surrounded him and put silver handcuffs on Du Heng.
"Du Heng, right? Come with us. You are suspected of multiple crimes and need to cooperate with the investigation!"
What? !
The person had just come out and was going to be sent back in? Du's mother and father were dumbfounded, Su Su was also stunned, and Du Ming's eyes were filled with disappointment.
As a soldier, he knew perfectly well that the police wouldn't arrest someone without evidence, and the possibility of a misunderstanding was very small. But his parents didn't think so.
Mr. Du panicked and grabbed the policeman's hand: "Comrade, are you sure you're not mistaken? My son was in there for over ten days and only just got out today. Where would he commit a crime? There must be some misunderstanding... You... you need to investigate this thoroughly first!"
"Then take a look at this first. Each item, each piece, is related to Du Heng. We will verify the truth of the matter, but he must come back with us today to cooperate with the investigation!"
The police showed a list of incriminating evidence, which contained all of Du Heng's crimes. His parents almost fainted, and Su Su gritted her teeth in anger.
With such clear and well-organized evidence, there must be someone pulling the strings behind the scenes. It's obvious who it is!
Du Ming's face turned bright red. He had never felt honored before, but he had felt ashamed time and time again. He was truly angry at his brother, Du Heng.
"Brother! You've disappointed me so much! Once or twice could be an accident, a moment of madness! But what about all this? It turns out you've been rotten to the core all along! You disgust me!"
Du Ming roared twice, then turned and ran away. The blow was too great for him. Du Heng opened his mouth to call him back, but was pressed down and taken away by the police.
"Behave yourself! Let's go!"
"No...son..." Mother Du reached out weakly, but grasped at nothing; the branch fell to the ground. "Who...?"
“I know who it is.”
"Who?" Father Du glared angrily.
"Besides Jiang Wanqing and Cheng Ran, there won't be a third person."
Upon hearing these two names, Mr. and Mrs. Du were both angry and helpless.
Du's mother burst into tears, crying out, "Damn it! Why do they have to make things difficult for our family?!"
“The person has already been taken away, crying won’t help. At this rate, Du Heng won’t be back anytime soon. Jiangnan still needs someone to manage it. As his wife, is it alright for me to take over the factory?”
Su Su's indifference startled Mr. and Mrs. Du, but now they had no other choice.
Just as Mrs. Du was about to agree, Mr. Du pulled her back.
"I think we should do this: since the final verdict hasn't been reached yet, let's take some gifts and visit Jiang Wanqing and her husband to ask them to be lenient and let Du Heng go."
