Jiang Anqing told her that her biological father was killed in a car accident before she was born. When Xiang Jin asked her father's name, she said it had been too long and she couldn't remember.
Is there anyone in this world who can forget her husband's name?
Did they really forget, or did they simply not want to talk about it?
Xiang Jin wandered around 0712 absentmindedly. The person who was sick and hospitalized was not Xiang Deming, but Xiang Qi. She was pale and lying on the hospital bed, venting her anger at Li Shuhui, who had arrived late. There were also two policemen standing at the door of the ward.
Xiang Jin immediately understood that Xiang Qi must have fallen ill during the surveillance process, and the police had brought her to the hospital. However, Xiang Qi was still a suspect, so the police had to monitor and guard her 24 hours a day.
Having learned the situation, Xiang Jin silently returned to her ward.
Jiang Anqing was drinking water when he saw her and quickly asked, "How are you? What happened?"
"Xiang Qi is sick and is in the hospital." Xiang Jin went to the bathroom and wrung out a warm towel to wipe Jiang Anqing's hands.
"Did they say what illness she has? Who is taking care of her? Is it Mrs. Xiang?"
Xiang Jin nodded.
After drying her hands, she went back to scrub the towel clean and hung it on the hook in the bathroom. The mirror in front of her reflected her face. She touched her face and calmly asked, "Mom, who is my biological father?"
"Why did you suddenly think of asking this?" Jiang Anqing rubbed his hands together somewhat awkwardly, looking at her.
"It's nothing, I'm just curious. After all, I've never had a father growing up, so I don't know what he looks like... I want to learn more about him. By the way, you don't remember his name, but do you remember his surname? I'd like to change it."
"This... I can't quite remember." She seemed to be getting a headache again, and her expression was somewhat pained.
"Okay, okay, if you can't remember, then don't think about it. It's okay."
“Ah Jin, I’m so sorry. You’ve suffered so much since you were little, and even though I was by your side, I couldn’t help you… You don’t even know your own father’s name…” As she spoke, Jiang Anqing began to shed tears, her emotions running high.
Xiang Jin quickly comforted her.
She's having surgery tomorrow, so getting too emotional isn't good for her.
After being comforted for a long time, Jiang Anqing finally calmed down and lay in Xiang Jin's arms as if she were about to fall asleep.
"By the way, Mom, where is he buried? Let's go pay our respects to him after you're discharged from the hospital, okay?"
"Okay." Jiang Anqing nodded.
After leaving the hospital, Xiang Jin did not go home, but went straight to the Xiang family home.
Before coming, she called Jingjing to confirm that Li Shuhui had not returned yet. She calmly entered the Xiang family home and headed towards Xiang Deming's study.
Since the Xiang family suffered a major blow and Xiang Deming was dismissed, the Xiang family has been arguing every day. Xiang Deming was hit hard and became somewhat depressed. Jingjing said that he stayed in his study all day and refused to go anywhere.
As soon as I pushed open the door, I smelled a strong odor of smoke.
Xiang Deming sat in front of the bookshelf practicing calligraphy, but each piece he wrote was not to his liking. He knew that one cannot write the characters one desires when one's mind is not at peace.
Upon seeing Xiang Jin, he was slightly surprised, and his expression turned sour for a moment before he put on a smile again.
Xiang Jin recognized that smile; he had spotted prey that would be advantageous to him.
“Ah Jin, I thought you didn’t recognize this family and never wanted to come back.” Xiang Deming poured her a glass of water. Seeing that Xiang Jin looked hesitant and refused to drink, with a hurt expression, he said, “Although Dad wasn’t good to you, I never thought of harming you. Those things were all done by Li Shuhui. I had no choice.”
What a helpless situation.
She was beaten and scolded by Li Shuhui and Xiang Qi since she was a child. He tried to help her a few times, but he never made any effort to change her life, even though he clearly had the ability to do so.
Now, with a simple "I had no choice," they're washing their hands of all responsibility.
"Dad, I know you have your reasons. I heard you haven't been doing well lately, so I came back to see you," Xiang Jin said expressionlessly.
Xiang Deming was deeply moved. He stepped forward and grasped Xiang Jin's arm, his eyes brimming with tears: "Indeed, our A Jin is the one who is capable of great things. Her heart and spirit are truly worthy of the title of Mrs. Murong!"
Xiang Jin smiled faintly.
"Dad, don't worry too much about the company. Although you're no longer the chairman, you still hold shares in Xiang's. You'll have a chance to go back once things calm down. Under your leadership, Xiang's has done a great job over the years. No one is more suitable than you."
Xiang Deming was solely focused on the interests of the Xiang family and was a man who valued his career above all else. For the sake of his career, he endured years of hardship under Li Shuhui's command. He was willing to abandon his children for his career and even disregard his dignity and face.
He has business acumen, but he is also truly shameless.
“Ah Jin is right, but Dad has worried his whole life, how can he let go so easily? Besides, your Master Xiao… if he doesn’t give the word, I’m afraid no one will dare to let me go back.” He smiled bitterly.
Xiang Jin didn't respond to his question. If he continued, she would have to appeal to his family ties. Instead, she asked, "I heard that Xiang Qi is sick and has been sent to the hospital. Did you know that?"
Xiang Deming thought for a moment, then feigned surprise: "When did this happen?"
Ha, she's quite the actress.
Is she now trying to sever ties with her biological daughter in order to protect her future and status?
"I heard about it too, but I don't know if it's true or not, so I'm asking you. It's getting late, and I have other things to do, so I'll have to go now. I'll come see you another day." Xiang Jin naturally extended his hand, gave Xiang Deming a brief hug, and turned to leave.
Xiang Deming was deeply moved: "Ajin, you will always be my daughter, Dad loves you!"
Xiang Jin paused for a moment, then left the Xiang family without looking back.
"Yan Qing, do me a favor, but don't tell anyone." Xiang Jin looked at the two strands of hair in her hand, the ones she had pulled from Xiang Deming's head when she hugged him.
This is also her main purpose for coming here today.
Whether it's Jiang Anqing or Xiang Deming, her understanding is too limited, and she can't draw objective comments. Therefore, she has to verify her doubts herself.
She needs to get the exact answer.
“Okay, you can get the report in three days. I’ll give it to you when you come to the hospital.” The next day, Xiang Jin handed the documents to Sun Yanqing.
Xiang Jin nodded: "I heard you proposed to Shuangshuang."
Sun Yanqing was taken aback, then laughed: "Do you think I'm stupid?"
"No, she was very brave." She sighed and told him about how Bai Ningshuang had made a deal with Gu Feiyang to save Jiang Anqing.
She had been thinking a lot these past few days and guessed that the two of them were probably arguing because of this. Since the problem originated with her, it was naturally her responsibility to resolve it.
After listening, Sun Yanqing fell silent.
He said, "Ah Jin, even if you hadn't told me all this, I wouldn't have regretted proposing to her. When she was with Young Master Gu, we didn't have any legal relationship, let alone a romantic one. What she does is her freedom, and I have no right to interfere."
