Chapter 483 I regret being with you
"Find evidence and have someone close to him talk to him. It might be helpful." Li Beiting suggested.
Jiang Yao thought about it and felt that it made sense. The way her grandparents died must have left traces. As long as they investigated thoroughly, there would still be a chance.
Thinking of this, she quickly began to regroup!
"I know what to do."
"Promise me that you will go back and have a good sleep tonight, and we'll talk about everything after you wake up." Li Beiting instructed gently.
"But..." How could she sleep?
"Can't sleep?" Li Beiting raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile, "In that case, I'll sleep with you!"
After saying that, he grabbed Jiang Yao by the waist and picked her up. Jiang Yao was so frightened that she subconsciously hooked her arms around his neck.
"What are you doing? Put me down."
"Go home and sleep." Li Beiting ignored her struggle and took her home directly. He carried her upstairs and put her on the bed. He then lay down on her and held her tightly in his arms.
The man's movements were strong, but his embrace was filled with warmth.
Smelling the sweet and crisp aroma of green grass emanating from him, Jiang Yao suddenly felt his eyes sore and he actually fell asleep in a daze.
When I woke up again, it was almost noon.
When she opened her eyes, there was no one beside her.
There was a note placed next to it, with a line of words written in a flamboyant style: I have to go out for something, I'm giving you the key as a backup, you can come to my house anytime in the future.
Signed Li Beiting.
Jiang Yao raised the corners of his lips slightly, went to wash up and went downstairs. The food was already set on the dining table.
After eating, Jiang Yao went to the laboratory.
The project they are currently developing has entered the middle and late stages, which is a very critical period.
"Yaoyao, why are you here so late?" Lan Qiuru came over at this time, holding a few documents in her hands. "Take a look at this. This is the latest progress of the experiment. If there is no problem, we will officially start--"
Jiang Yao took the document and looked through it. Not finding any problems, he signed his name on the consent form below.
"Okay, I'll tell you right away." Lan Qiuru stood up and was about to leave, but Jiang Yao grabbed her arm. "Mom, wait, I have something to tell you."
"Hmm?" Lan Qiuru turned around and met her daughter's solemn expression. Her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly had a premonition. "It's related to your father, right?"
Jiang Yao was startled.
It seems that everyone noticed Xiao Zhengrong's discomfort.
Only she thought that no one noticed.
She nodded heavily, took her mother to the coffee shop downstairs, found a private room and told her what had happened.
Lan Qiuru was silent for a long time after hearing this.
It took so long that Jiang Yao began to worry that she had suffered too great a blow.
Lan Qiuru finally spoke, "So this is why he always keeps his distance from me and makes me feel alienated."
She smiled bitterly, and all the things that seemed wrong before now seemed to have a traceable basis.
"Mom." Jiang Yao sat down beside her worriedly and held her hand.
"I'm fine." Lan Qiuru was very calm, perhaps she had expected it.
This relationship may have ended twenty-five years ago.
She shouldn't force it.
But she still felt very unwilling.
Why!
Why does Xiao Zhengrong make such malicious speculations about her father!
"I'm going to meet him and give him a good scolding. If he doesn't listen, I'm going to beat him up and make him hand over the disk. The Jiang family can't be destroyed in his hands!"
Lan Qiuru has thought it through.
You don’t have to have feelings!
But the family's future cannot be given up.
"Mom, wait." Jiang Yao held her back helplessly. "Wait until I finish collecting the evidence, then I'll go with you to see him, okay?"
Right now, they have to remain patient.
Lan Qiuru took two deep breaths before she managed to calm down.
…
The next day.
With the help of the Li family's intelligence network, Jiang Yao quickly collected relevant evidence and took his mother to a very private mountain villa of the Jiang family to meet Xiao Zhengrong.
The moment they met, their eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
"What are you doing here?" Xiao Zhengrong's expression quickly turned cold. "Don't try to use blood ties to morally blackmail me. I won't hand over the disk."
"Dad, I came here today with evidence."
Jiang Yao walked forward slowly and placed a stack of yellowed documents in front of him. "These are the records of my grandparents' medical treatment when they were sick 28 years ago, as well as their hospitalization information and some old photos."
Xiao Zhengrong was startled and subconsciously lowered his head. The document was covered with dense words. He scanned it quickly and then stopped at the old photo with his pupils shrinking.
The photo was taken on the hospital lawn.
In the picture, two elderly people in hospital gowns are sitting on a bench in the garden.
There were two people standing behind them, him and Lan Qiuru.
The two old people held hands, their heads leaning against each other, with one hand on each old person's shoulder, and they smiled happily at the camera.
This looks like a family photo.
“This, this is…”
"This was taken when you took your mother to the hospital to visit her. You asked the medical staff to help take these photos. Aren't these things enough to prove that grandpa and grandma died of illness and not human intervention?" Jiang Yao said sincerely.
Xiao Zhengrong quickly recovered and said sarcastically, "This must be a synthesis! Evidence can be fabricated, but my memory will not betray me. You don't have to do this kind of meaningless thing again. I won't change my mind."
Jiang Yao was choked.
Unexpectedly, even with the evidence right in front of him, he still didn't believe it.
In this case, no matter how much she said or did, it would be meaningless.
"So, you've never trusted your wife and daughter." Lan Qiuru also spoke up at this time, "From the day you returned to the Jiang family, you've only used us, without a trace of affection, right?"
"Yes." Xiao Zhengrong raised his head and looked directly at her, his eyes cold. "Not only do I have no feelings for you, I even hate you. It was because I chose you that my family's tragedy happened.
If I had known this, I would never have married a beauty like you! What I regret most is being with you. If God gave me another chance, I would never choose you again.
His heartless words stabbed into her heart like a sharp knife.
It leaves people covered in bruises.
Lan Qiuru almost lost her balance.
Jiang Yao helped her in time and managed to stabilize her.
"Dad, you will definitely regret this in the future."
Jiang Yao finally said this and left the villa with Lan Qiuru.
After sending his mother home and staying with her for half the night, she returned home with a heavy heart when Li Beiting happened to come back from outside, exhausted.
The moment she saw him, Jiang Yao ran over and threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly to absorb the warmth.
Li Beiting quickly hugged her back, and the two hugged each other for a full half hour.
"I have good news to tell you. Do you want to hear it?" the man asked gently.
