After listening to the recording, Jiang Yan learned what had happened back then.
She was so stupid to fall into Song Zhongqian's trap.
Jiang Yan also burst into tears.
"Dad... I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
Jiang Chi sighed and said, "Back then, I tried my best to persuade you to let go, but you wouldn't listen. I wanted to tell you the truth several times, but you were too stubborn. I was worried that you would really take A-Tuo to commit suicide. Perhaps, if you live with hatred, you can live well. So, I won't say anything. I'd rather you hate me."
"..."
"No matter what, Dad did it all for your own good, wanting to spare you from harm. But I still didn't handle this well, causing you pain for many years."
"..."
“Song Zhongqian hates you, he hates me, and he hates the Jiang family because you didn’t raise the money for him in time. That woman died before she could have her second surgery. But he selfishly never thought that you knelt at your doorstep for a whole day to beg me for money to raise for him.”
"..."
“I hate his selfishness, I hate that he doesn’t cherish you, and I hate how cruel he is to you.”
"..."
“Song Zhongqian is very talented, but his ideas are too perfectionistic. You two are not suitable for each other, which is why I objected. At that time, I had already found out that he was with another woman, so your brother and I tried our best to persuade you and stop you from being with him. Because we all know that the person he loves is not you, and he definitely cannot give you any happiness.”
"..."
"You love too deeply. The more unattainable something is, the more you want to possess it. From childhood to adulthood, you have lacked nothing, so the more rebellious you become."
"..."
“You were willing to give up everything to go with Song Zhongqian. He had a very good plan, but he ran into trouble. Your brother and I were his thorns. So, he instigated you, and our conflict deepened. You loved him deeply and sold everything you could to give him a lot of money. You thought he was preparing for an art exhibition and going abroad for further studies.”
"..."
“He told you he was sketching and preparing for an art exhibition, that he was very busy, but actually, during that time he was at the hospital with another woman, taking care of their daughter.”
"..."
“That woman was very ill, so he had no choice but to take the child back to you to take care of. You believed everything he said.”
"..."
That's absolutely true.
At this moment, Jiang Yan's heart was also aching as if it were being torn apart.
Song Zhongqian took Wei Yuan back to their little home and told her that she was a friend's child who had been entrusted to his care, and that her parents had passed away.
He felt sorry for the child, so he agreed.
She actually believed it, thinking that the sweet words Song Zhongqian said to her were true.
She believed that if she and her husband worked together, they would definitely get out of their predicament, things would get better and better, and her father would forgive them.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chi continued, "It wasn't that I left A-Tuo to die; I found him a doctor. When you went to look for a job, you asked him to help take care of A-Tuo, but he took A-Tuo to the hospital instead. His mind wasn't on A-Tuo. A-Tuo was playing alone and ate the wrong thing, which triggered his acute asthma. That's what I can't forgive him for the most."
Jiang Chi's eyes also welled up with tears.
He also felt very sad when he thought about what happened back then.
"Dad, please stop talking. I understand now. I'm so sorry!"
"It's good that you understand. Once Atuo wakes up, let's all live the rest of our lives well. The living are the most precious. This family has never given up on you, including your older brother and sister-in-law. They often advise me to be more open-minded, saying that you are still young and don't understand things."
Jiang Chi also shed tears. Du Bin gave him a tissue, and he wiped them away.
"I asked you to send Wei Yuan away and arrange for her to be adopted by a good family, which was also for your own good. What woman could bear to raise her husband's illegitimate daughter? I was afraid that you would collapse after you found out the truth. But you, I sent her away, and you came back to raise her. Perhaps, this is a tragic fate."
"..."
“Song Zhongqian harbored resentment, not entirely because of us. He vented all his hatred and the injustice of fate on us. He fell in love with that woman, but her family objected, so she eloped with him. Song Zhongqian was still in university, so they rented a house near the school and lived a simple life, but they could never get a marriage certificate.”
"..."
"Song Zhongqian was very talented and received a spot to study abroad without taking the entrance exam. He gave it up for that woman. Everything was fine, and it seemed like the hard times were finally over, but then that woman got pregnant. Because of her health, the doctor advised against her giving birth. But this was her own flesh and blood, and she couldn't bear to give it up, so she insisted on having the baby."
"..."
"They breathed a sigh of relief when the child was born safely. However, their happiness was short-lived. The woman's condition suddenly worsened, and the treatment required a lot of money. Their lives were already difficult, and raising a child was already their limit. With this serious illness, their little family was plunged into a bottomless pit of hardship."
"..."
"At this time, you saw Song Zhongqian's art exhibition, became infatuated with him, and pursued him madly. For that woman, he went from being arrogant and indifferent to half-heartedly accommodating you."
"..."
“Miss Wei, what I said is true. If you don’t believe me, you can go to your maternal grandmother’s house and ask her clearly. Your uncle is still alive. Back then, I went to him and investigated your father and mother’s affairs very thoroughly.”
"..."
"You keep saying you love Jiang Zhi and accusing me of breaking you up. Ask yourself honestly, in the end, did I ever give you a chance?"
Wei Yuan remained silent. Du Bin reminded her, "Back then, I was there. The young master was seriously injured and still unconscious. He underwent emergency surgery but hadn't woken up yet, and the doctor issued a critical condition notice. At that time, the old master talked to you. He said he wouldn't hold it against you, as long as you stayed by the young master's side, encouraged him, and helped him survive. You refused and chose to leave."
Jiang Chi: "Do you still remember what I told you? Once you leave, never come back. Ah Zhi's life has nothing to do with you?"
"..."
Jiang Chi: "In fact, you're the one who's guilty and you don't dare face A-Zhi. Because you caused that car accident. Jiang Yan leaked it to the media, but you went even further and had the media secretly film you, provided them with your location, and even told them that Qiao Chu and Ye Huai were also there. If the four of them were to meet, what a huge news story that would be! No media outlet would miss out on such a lucrative opportunity."
"..."
Jiang Chi: "I know everything, I've investigated everything thoroughly. To protect my grandson and daughter, I buried these things in my heart, because I wanted to leave them some beautiful memories, so that life wouldn't become so cruel. And you, where is your conscience?"
"..."
Jiang Chi: "You keep accusing me of forcing you, oppressing you, disliking you, and blacklisting you... Please tell me, what have you done for them? Is this how you treat people who are good to you?"
