Chapter 478 Shocking Secret Revealed
When Mr. Jiang's majestic voice sounded, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at him.
The next second, Mr. Jiang picked up the wine glass on the table, walked to Xiao Zhengrong, and poured him a glass himself.
Xiao Zhengrong was surprised, "Mr. Jiang, you—"
After Mr. Jiang poured him the tea, he also picked up the teacup beside him.
"Mr. Xiao, you were my son-in-law in the past, but twenty-five years have passed and you have no memory of anything. Yet you are still willing to return to the Jiang family and help them overcome their difficulties. I express my gratitude to you from the bottom of my heart.
These days, thanks to you, I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine!"
His heroic attitude surprised Xiao Zhengrong.
Many complex and incomprehensible emotions flashed across the man's eyes in an instant.
But he quickly came to his senses and picked up the wine glass.
"Mr. Jiang, please don't say that. It should be me, your junior, who should be showing respect to you. I haven't had time to congratulate you on your discharge from the hospital yet. I wish you good health!"
"Haha, okay, let's drink!"
Both sides drank it all in one gulp.
Lan Qiuru was still a little worried about his alcohol tolerance, but unexpectedly, after one glass, there was no change on his face, and his eyes were very clear.
But from my memory, he seemed to have a very low alcohol tolerance, and his cheeks would often start to turn red after only two or three sips.
Is it the drinking capacity he has developed over the past twenty years?
At this time, Mrs. Jiang smiled and reminded: "Okay, okay, stop toasting each other. There is no need to be so formal when a family eats together. Today's dishes are all Aunt Wang's specialties. Let's eat!"
The whole family sat down and started their happy dinner.
After dinner, everyone either sits in the living room to watch TV and chat, or goes to the study to discuss business, or goes outside to get some fresh air.
Jiang Yao watched his mother sitting in a corner eating fruit. He took the initiative to step forward and took her arm, smiling brightly as he asked, "Mom, how are you feeling lately?"
"What does it feel like?" Lan Qiuru was confused.
Jiang Yao winked at her playfully and asked, "Have you and your father made any progress in your relationship?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Qiuru's expression dimmed. She really wanted to tell her daughter that everything was going well and that she didn't need to worry.
But when she met those concerned eyes, she couldn't tell a lie, "Baby, I don't want to lie to you, I feel like there's a deep distance between him and me. Maybe it's because I have no memory, so he has no intention of opening his heart to me.
I found...I can't seem to see through him, nor do I understand him anymore!"
Before the reunion, she had imagined many possibilities in her mind.
But now, I find that reality is not as good as I imagined.
She was also confused and at a loss.
Jiang Yao didn't expect it to turn out like this. She held her mother's hand with some heartache, "Mom, don't let your imagination run wild. Maybe Dad needs time. When the time is right and we've been together for a while, he'll slowly open up to us."
Lan Qiuru could only force a smile, "You're right! I really need to give him some time."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm going to continue watching the show. This actress is so beautiful..."
She seemed to have been distracted.
Jiang Yao's heart felt a little heavier.
She got up from the sofa and walked to the open window. Sure enough, she saw her father standing there, holding a cigarette in his hand, looking out the window, wondering what he was thinking.
"Dad——" Until she walked to his side and greeted him softly.
Xiao Zhengrong quickly put out his cigarette, "What's wrong?"
"Smoking is bad for your health. Try to smoke less in the future," she said with concern.
"Okay, I'll listen to my good daughter."
Xiao Zhengrong smiled and touched her head, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
He was quite sensitive to emotions.
Jiang Yao pursed his lips and asked bluntly, "Can I ask, how do you feel about Mom? Do you still like her?"
Xiao Zhengrong smiled helplessly and sighed softly.
"Yaoyao, if, I mean if, I can't remember you for the rest of my life, and I never get back together with your mother, will you still recognize me?"
This question was unexpected to her.
Jiang Yao's heart tightened. Although he felt a little sorry for his parents' relationship, he still told the truth, "No matter what choice you make in the end, you are still my father. The blood relationship between us cannot be severed, right?"
Xiao Zhengrong's heart was touched, his eyes flickered, as if he wanted to say something.
“Yaoyao——”
At this time, Li Beiting's magnetic voice called out from behind.
Xiao Zhengrong swallowed his words and patted her shoulder. "Father is very satisfied with your words. Go and spend some quality time with your partner."
After saying that, he left happily.
Jiang Yao: "..."
"What were you and your uncle talking about just now?" Li Beiting walked over and asked casually.
Jiang Yao looked at him helplessly, "Didn't you interrupt me before I even had a chance to start a conversation?"
Logically speaking, Li Beiting is very good at reading people's expressions.
Why did he suddenly call me in that situation just now?
She also noticed something strange.
Li Beiting lowered his eyes to hide the faint light in them.
She seemed to want to say something, and after a moment she raised her head, her expression tender and affectionate: "I'm sorry, I just feel that it has been a long time since I was alone with you to appreciate the moon. The moonlight tonight is so beautiful."
This is a statement of love abroad.
The man's usual gentle attitude dispelled her doubts, and Jiang Yao did not ask any further questions for a while.
She leaned on Li Beiting's shoulder and watched the moonlight with him.
Everything was beautiful that night.
But two days later, a huge thunder exploded on the sea, causing huge waves.
The shocking secret of the Jiang Group was suddenly revealed on the Internet.
An anonymous person revealed that thirty or forty years ago, when Mr. Jiang was in charge, the Jiang family had not yet become the richest family in South City, and its position in the industry was not as stable as it is now.
Later, in order to develop and expand his own power, Mr. Jiang robbed other people's property, forced their families to be broken up, and stepped on their corpses to get to the top.
In the end, he forced the man to death and then adopted the man's child, doing superficial charity work to make everyone think he was kind and tolerant.
In fact, the four brothers of the Jiang family who are now working hard in the business and industry are actually the biggest victims!
The whistleblower spoke very coherently and even analyzed and summarized the news reported that year, and found recordings of relevant witnesses.
"I was the housekeeper at the Li family back then. The master was deceived and bankrupted, burdened with huge debts, and he and his wife both jumped off the building. It was a true human comedy! Later, I don't know what tricks the Jiang family used to adopt the young master and pretend he was a good person. It's clearly like recognizing a thief as your father!"
"The Xu family suffered even more. They were allies with the Jiang family at the time, but they were squeezed dry, their bones drained, and ultimately driven to despair! Old Jiang's methods were ruthless, and no one could match him!"
