Chapter 415 This is the truth
Jiang Yao also guessed this.
But she thought that if she gave the money, she would be even with the Xu family in the future, which would also be a good option.
But before that, "Beiting, I want you to help me investigate something..."
She gave a brief account of what had happened.
Li Beiting nodded in understanding, "Leave it to me, I will give you the answer soon."
But before leaving, he stepped forward and gently caressed her cheek, his tone gentle and soothing, "Yaoyao, don't feel any burden. You have never owed the Xu family anything. Just follow your heart."
Jiang Yao's heart moved slightly, and he held his big hand and rubbed it against his palm, "Yes, I understand."
After Li Beiting left, Jiang Yao received another unexpected call.
"Yaoyao, I want to see you, can I?" There was a hint of cautious pleading in Cheng Peilan's tone.
Jiang Yao hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
Arrived at the hospital half an hour later.
She looked at Cheng Peilan lying quietly on the hospital bed, looking so lonely, without even a caregiver.
"Thank you for coming to see me." Cheng Peilan's expression was full of gratitude.
Jiang Yao didn't understand her purpose, "You asked me to come here, it shouldn't just be a polite exchange of words!"
She hasn't forgotten the previous tension.
Cheng Peilan smiled bitterly upon hearing this, her voice hoarse, "I'm sorry, I hurt you back then. Now that I think about it, I've done a lot of wrong things. And Yueyao, I apologize to you on her behalf. In the end, it's all my fault as a mother."
"I don't accept your apology, and there's no need to apologize on her behalf. She won't repent, and she might even do something even more outrageous, so there's no point in apologizing." Jiang Yao's tone was cold.
A trace of pain flashed in Cheng Peilan's eyes.
"I'm not asking for your forgiveness, I just want to tell you what's in my heart. In fact, I have never hated you. Maybe I have always hated myself."
At this point, she paused and looked up again. "I know that Cong An has approached you to discuss cooperation. He's using the kindness he's shown you over the past eighteen years to morally blackmail you, right?"
Jiang Yao didn't expect that she knew so much, perhaps it was because of her understanding of her husband!
She didn't answer, but Cheng Peilan already knew the answer.
"Yaoyao, you don't have to feel indebted to our family." Cheng Peilan's expression was complicated. "Back then, I actually had some doubts about my daughter being switched."
Jiang Yao was startled when he heard this, "What?"
Cheng Peilan asked her to come over this time, and she didn't intend to hide it. "When I came down from the operating table after giving birth, I saw the nurse holding the baby to show me in a daze. I noticed at that time that the baby had a light red birthmark on his foot.
But when I woke up again and Cong An brought the baby to show me, the birthmark was gone.
I realized something was wrong at the time and brought up the birthmark with An, but he said that I must have been under anesthesia at the time and my memory was wrong.
So I didn't think about it any further. I didn't dare to doubt the possibility that the child was switched, and I didn't dare to accept the reality that my daughter was not mine. After that, I tried my best to be nice to you to numb myself.
I gradually buried this matter deep in my heart. Until Yueyao was found and I saw the birthmark on her foot, I immediately realized that I was not mistaken.
She was excited and angry at the time.
It turned out that her child had been switched a long time ago. She could have discovered it in advance and used the relationship between the Huo and Xu families to find the whereabouts of her biological daughter.
It’s all because Jiang Yao’s existence has numbed her heart.
She blamed all the mistakes on Jiang Yao, and became increasingly cold and disgusted with her, using all kinds of hurtful words to hurt her.
In fact, it is just that you are afraid to face reality and hate yourself.
After hearing what Cheng Peilan said, Jiang Yao was also very surprised.
There is actually such a past behind the substitution.
Why was Xu Cong'an so sure that Cheng Peilan had made a mistake?
Did he really think so, or... did he know something to some extent but deliberately concealed the truth?
"So Yaoyao, from now on you just live a good life and don't care about any requests made by the Xu family." This time, Cheng Peilan was completely sincere.
She sincerely hopes that Jiang Yao can be happy.
As for her, I will pray silently and repent for her behind her back.
Jiang Yao said slowly: "I wish you a speedy recovery. Goodbye."
But from now on, there will probably be no possibility for them to meet again.
When she came out of the hospital, she received a call from Li Beiting, "Yaoyao, the investigation results are out..."
After hearing what he said, Jiang Yao sneered in his heart.
Sure enough, it was just as she expected.
"I know what to do next."
…
The next day.
Xu Cong'an came to visit again, and when he saw Jiang Yao, he said straight to the point: "I've been thinking about it for a day. Can we sign the contract today?"
"Of course." Jiang Yao nodded at him and motioned him to sit down and talk.
Xu Cong'an was overjoyed. When he thought about signing the contract and getting a huge sum of money immediately, his eyes and eyebrows lit up.
"Yaoyao, I knew you were a good kid who knew how to repay kindness. You can be relied upon at critical moments, and you really didn't let me down."
His tone was always upward.
"Since you think I'm so good, how could you bear to kick me out of the house and team up with Xu Yueyao to hurt me?" Jiang Yao suddenly asked back.
Xu Cong'an's face froze slightly. "That's because I misunderstood you at the time, Yaoyao. Actually, I love you very much. Have you forgotten all the good things I did for you?"
Jiang Yao curled his lips, "Really? Then if I'm willing to cooperate with you, the only condition is that you sever your ties with Xu Yueyao and kick her out of the house. Are you willing?"
"This..." Xu Cong'an didn't expect her to make such a request.
But considering that she had been bullied and trafficked by Xu Yueyao, it was not difficult to understand.
Now that she has power, she will definitely seek revenge.
For the ultimate goal, he still made a choice, "Okay, no problem! As long as you help my company get through this difficult time, I will let her go immediately."
He felt that Jiang Yao would definitely be happy with this answer.
But this time, the smile on Jiang Yao's face faded.
This man is as cold-blooded and selfish as ever.
In order to achieve his goal, he can sacrifice his own daughter who he finally found.
But to a certain extent, he and Xu Yueyao are indeed father and daughter, both of them are despicable and selfish.
"Okay." Xu Cong'an didn't bother to look at her expression. He opened the contract and pushed it in front of her, saying impatiently, "You can sign it now!"
"I really want to sign a contract with you, but——"
There was a hint of deep meaning in Jiang Yao's eyes, but before he could finish the rest of his words, someone knocked on the door of the reception room.
