Chapter 353 The truth behind my parents’ accident
"I know." Surprisingly, Jiang Jinghe didn't blame her. "She has changed a lot. After so many years, sometimes I feel like I don't recognize her...
Yaoyao, I understand your concerns, and I will pay attention to them."
Jiang Yao looked at the expression on his face in surprise. It seemed... Fourth Uncle was not as obsessed as she had imagined.
"You haven't gotten back together yet?"
Jiang Jinghe gave a bitter smile, "She doesn't even remember me, so what's the point of talking about getting back together? We're just friends now."
Whether everything he did was out of love or out of compensation and debt, perhaps even he himself could not tell.
Jiang Yao didn't say anything more, and the two said goodbye to each other.
When Jiang Yao returned home, he saw his grandparents drinking tea and chatting with his mother, enjoying family happiness.
This has been happening almost every day recently, and Lan Qiuru has also stayed here for several nights.
Originally, the Jiang family's daughter had returned, and the old couple were so happy that they wanted to announce it to the whole world.
But the resurrection from the dead was too shocking after all.
Moreover, they have not yet learned the truth about the explosion that year.
If someone wanted to harm her mother, once the news of her return was announced, she would definitely be targeted and face unexpected danger.
So after a unanimous discussion by the whole family, the uncles finally decided to secretly investigate and gather intelligence from that year.
Lan Qiuru is still a member of the Lan family. The reason why she has close ties with the Jiang family is because Jiang Yao recognized her as his godmother, and Mr. and Mrs. Jiang also recognized her as their goddaughter.
In this way, even if Jiang Yao changed her name to "Mom" in public, no one would think too much of it.
Thinking of this, she walked over with a smile, "Mom, grandpa and grandma, I'm back."
"Yaoyao is back. Come quickly. Grandma and your mother made sweet-scented osmanthus cake today. Would you like to try it? How does it taste?"
The elders looked at her with doting eyes.
Jiang Yao picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth, and immediately squinted his eyes happily, "Wow, what a delicacy! This is the best osmanthus cake I have ever eaten in my life!"
"Haha, this kid is so sweet."
The elders laughed out loud.
The family had a happy meal together before Jiang Yao went upstairs to organize the data at hand.
When she finished her work and looked at the time, it was almost midnight.
She quickly washed up and was about to go downstairs to get some water when she unexpectedly saw a lonely figure standing on the balcony.
She was startled, covered her chest and took a closer look, and it turned out to be her mother.
At this moment, Lan Qiuru was standing quietly by the window, letting the evening breeze blow her hair. She looked tired and a little lonely, and a crystal tear rolled down her eye.
But it seemed to fall into Jiang Yao's heart.
She slowly stepped forward and asked cautiously, "Mom, why are you crying?"
Lan Qiuru seemed to have just come back to her senses at this moment, and belatedly realized that her face was wet, so she wiped away the tears with her hands.
"I..." Her expression was a bit bewildered, and she supported her forehead with her hand. "I think I had a dream, and then I couldn't sleep, so I got up and took a look. I hope I didn't disturb you."
Jiang Yao stepped forward and held her arm with concern, "I'm fine, what did you dream about? Why are you so sad?"
Lan Qiuru smiled bitterly. "Actually, I don't remember the specific content. I just often dream about a man who was always by my side, making me happy. I had a very happy time in my dream... I didn't know who he was before, but now I think he might be your father, but I don't even remember what he looked like."
Jiang Yao felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
It turns out that although my mother seems cheerful and relaxed on weekdays, she is actually under so much pressure inside.
Although she doesn't remember the past or her father, she still misses the past subconsciously.
She just didn't say it. Perhaps, she wanted to know the truth of that year better than anyone else.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao became even more determined to get to the bottom of the matter.
…
In the villa opposite.
Li Beiting also received the investigation results from his trusted subordinate Qiao Wei late at night.
He lowered his eyes to look at the contents on his phone, and the more he looked, the tighter his brows furrowed.
When Jiang Yao's parents got into trouble, the clues pointed to a world-renowned multinational company - Orvis Group.
Twenty-seven years ago, the company was just a small one.
At the beginning, a business cooperation was reached with Jiang Yao's father.
It has now become a giant in the industry, and its status is comparable to that of the Li and Jiang families.
And through in-depth investigation, it was found that the current CEO of Ovis had a close relationship with Ryan, who had been suppressing Jiang Yao for some time.
The forces involved behind this are too broad.
Originally, he agreed to help investigate the whereabouts of Jiang Yao's father, but in this situation, there might be great danger hidden behind it. If Jiang Yao was involved, he was afraid that she would be in danger.
Thinking of this, he sent a message to Qiao Wei: [Just report the progress of this matter to me, don't tell Jiang Yao for the time being.]
The subordinate agreed.
There was hidden worry in Li Beiting's eyes.
Based on his understanding of Jiang Yao, she will definitely find out the truth for the sake of her family.
The best way is for him to take action first and then inform her of the results of the investigation.
He made a decision secretly in his heart.
The next day.
Li Beiting sent Jiang Yao to the laboratory as usual. Along the way, although his expression was the same as usual, Jiang Yao still noticed that he seemed to be worried.
"What's wrong?" she asked curiously, "Are you in a bad mood today?"
Li Beiting raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said lazily, "How could it be?"
Jiang Yao narrowed his eyes and snorted, "Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist. Are you hiding something from me?"
After all, they had known each other for so long that she could sense the difference in a simple sentence.
Li Beiting felt somewhat helpless and sighed, "Well, I really can't hide anything from you. I've accepted a business trip and will be away for two days. When I think about not being able to see you during this period, I can't be in a good mood."
Jiang Yao was a little surprised and shy when he heard this.
It was because of such a trivial matter.
"Why didn't I realize before that you're such a clingy person!" Jiang Yao teased deliberately, "Are you so reluctant to leave me?"
"Yes!" Li Beiting answered calmly, looking at her with burning eyes, "It feels like a long time since we last met. Won't you miss me if I leave?"
Jiang Yao: "..."
This guy, ever since the relationship was exposed, seems to have forgotten how to write the word "shame".
She turned her head away proudly, "I wouldn't think about it."
Li Beiting sighed with regret, "It seems this is just unrequited love on my part."
Jiang Yao pursed his lips and suppressed a smile.
