Chapter 171 Who Dares to Take Action
"You..." Auntie was about to get angry, so I quickly said, "It seems like you can't bear to let us go!"
"Hmph, pack up quickly and get out of here." The aunt said angrily.
I glared back, followed Jiang Yichen back to the room, and continued to help him pack his things.
I watched him silently sorting out the items. There was nothing valuable, just a few notebooks and some precious photos, all of which were his personal belongings.
I couldn't help but feel a little confused, so I asked, "Yichen, are you sure you have taken all these? Do you need me to help you find other important things?"
Jiang Yichen shook his head and said with a smile: "No need, it's already been packed. These notebooks record my past, and these photos are my precious memories. These are enough."
When the two returned to the spacious and bright hall, a gorgeously dressed and menacing middle-aged woman was already waiting there with several servants. It was obvious that they came prepared.
The old lady's eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, staring at the bag in Jiang Yichen's hand, as if there was some unspeakable secret hidden in it.
"Jiang Yichen, open your bag! I want to check your things!" The aunt's voice was sharp and harsh, full of unquestionable authority.
Jiang Yichen's face darkened instantly. His eyes were as cold as ice. He glanced at the servants around him and asked coldly, "Who dares to take action?"
The servants looked at each other, obviously afraid of Jiang Yichen's majesty, and no one dared to step forward.
Seeing this, the auntie stamped her feet in anger and scolded them for being useless. Then she took action herself and rushed towards Jiang Yichen, trying to snatch the bag from his hand.
A sudden scramble broke out in the hall. Jiang Yichen tried his best to protect the bag in his hand, but the auntie refused to give in.
In the chaos, several photos slipped out of the bag and fell to the floor.
I was quick to step forward and help pick up the photos.
When I saw the content of the photo clearly, I couldn't help but feel surprised - it was a photo of myself and a boy when I was a child.
I didn't have time to think about what was going on.
The old lady snatched the photo and flipped through it rudely, her face full of disdain and contempt.
After finding out that they were just worthless photos, the old lady threw them back to Jiang Yichen mercilessly, cursing: "You poor fellow, these are just some crappy photos, what's the point of keeping them, humph."
"I've checked everything, now get out of here! Don't dirty my floor."
Jiang Yichen took the photo, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.
He clutched the photos tightly, glaring.
The aunt looked a little scared, took two steps back, and said cautiously: "You...what are you going to do? I warn you, don't do anything rash, or I'll have the bodyguards kick you out."
I stood silently by, my heart filled with anger and dissatisfaction with the aunt's unreasonable behavior.
Everything the Jiang family has now was achieved through Jiang Yichen’s hard work, but what did they do?
No matter what happened, they should not add insult to injury and treat Jiang Yichen like this.
Jiang Yichen picked up the photo on the ground, packed up his things, turned around and left.
I jogged along to keep up.
After returning to the villa, I couldn't help but asked in confusion: "What happened?"
Jiang Yichen's shoulders trembled slightly, he turned around slowly, his eyes revealing an indescribable bitterness and helplessness.
"My father received an anonymous letter saying...that I'm not his biological son." His voice was low and hoarse.
I also heard some of the quarrels in the office, but when I heard it confirmed by their own people, I was still a little surprised.
"What?!" I was shocked and couldn't believe my ears.
After all, when Jiang Yichen was found by the Jiang family, it took a lot of twists and turns and proofs before his identity was finally confirmed. How come such a statement suddenly came out now?
"Not only that, the letter also included a so-called paternity test report."
Jiang Yichen continued, his hands clenched into fists, obviously trying his best to suppress the anger and unwillingness in his heart, "Now, I have been kicked out of the Jiang family and become a homeless person."
I looked at him with mixed emotions.
Sympathy, anger, and a desire for the truth all intertwined together, making me want to speak up for him.
"How is this possible? There must be some misunderstanding here!"
Jiang Yichen shook his head slightly, his expression looking a little gloomy.
"It doesn't matter. The reason why she wanted me back was because that woman couldn't have children. That's why she thought of me. For so many years, I didn't care about anyone except grandma."
I patted his hand gently and said softly: "Yichen, I understand that grandma is so important to you. In the future, no matter what happens, I will accompany you back to see her. You will always be grandma's most beloved grandson."
Jiang Yichen looked at me, with a touch of emotion in his eyes.
However, he soon lowered his head again and said in a low voice: "But, I have nothing now. I have become a poor boy. I can't take care of the Gu family anymore. If you...if you want to choose Song Le, I won't stop you."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but get angry.
I raised my head abruptly, looked him straight in the eyes, and said firmly, "Jiang Yichen! Why don't you understand? There is nothing between Song Le and me, we are innocent! And, I tell you, I am not going anywhere, I will stay here with you! You will never be homeless, because you have me and the Gu family!"
If he wasn't really so pitiful now, I would have suspected that he was deliberately putting on a humble attitude to elicit my sympathy.
"Okay, stop being sad and pack your things!"
I took out the photos he cherished and found the photo of me and the little boy again, wondering if Jiang Yichen and I had known each other since childhood?
Why don't I have any impression at all?
And we all have the same photo, but Jiang Yichen never said anything?
I had countless questions in my mind. I turned around and looked at Jiang Yichen who had just answered the phone. He seemed to sense that I was looking at him, so he turned around and looked at me, his eyes seemed to ask me: What's wrong?
I shook my head and continued to help him tidy up.
Soon, he hung up the phone and came over, put his arms around me, and asked gently, "Go and have a rest, I'll take care of these."
"Jiang Yichen, I have a question for you."
Jiang Yichen said in a rare good-tempered manner: "What's the problem?"
I took out the photo, showed it to him, and asked tentatively: "The person in the photo... is it you?"
"Yes, it's me." Jiang Yichen's answer made me breathless.
"So we knew each other before?"
