Lin Chen held her in his arms, patted her back and comforted her, his heart aching as if it were being torn apart.
What kind of injustice must she have suffered to cry so sadly?
"Honey, I don't know what happened. If you're sad, just cry. I'll always be here for you."
Jiang Ning has always been full of enthusiasm for life. No matter what happens, she never complains or backs down, but forges ahead bravely.
She also rarely showed vulnerability.
She retaliates when someone hurts her.
Her parents didn't love her, so she left.
She is content with her current life and is more willing to use her own hands to create a better future.
But what happened today that finally broke her defenses?
After half an hour of gentle comforting, Jiang Ning's emotions gradually calmed down.
Then he told him what he had heard.
"Originally, I didn't want to give Jiang Rou money when she asked me for it, but later I felt that they were my parents after all, so I went to pay for it."
I never expected to hear something so shocking.
Jiang Ning's eyes were red and her voice was hoarse, so Lin Chen quickly poured her a glass of sugar water.
“They’ve gone too far. I didn’t say much before because they were your parents, but now I feel like beating Jiang Jianguo up.”
Lin Chen felt a burning rage within him.
Jiang Ning, on the contrary, became much calmer.
"Do you know how I felt after I finished crying? I was actually a little relieved. I really don't feel guilty at all now."
Lin Chen gently patted her head, his eyes filled with heartache:
"Do you think it's possible that Li Damei is trying to deceive Jiang Jianguo?"
If you were truly switched at birth, where are your biological parents?
Jiang Ning shook her head and sniffed:
"I don't know whether I should believe it or not, but I just feel inexplicably that it's true, otherwise why would they have disliked me since I was a child?"
She recalled the way Feng Shuyao looked at her when she was a child, a look that was both hostile and forced to protect her.
Despite having given birth to two sons for Jiang Jianguo, Feng Shuyao still went out of her way to please him.
She suddenly remembered that the tattered doll Feng Shuyao was holding might mean that she was holding her own daughter.
As her memories gradually came together, she became even more convinced of this idea.
"Ah Chen, what about the loan sharks you mentioned earlier?" she suddenly asked.
Lin Chen paused for a moment, then pulled out a very simple business card from his pocket.
The address was written on it, saying that money could be borrowed there.
"Honey, do you need to borrow money? They're ripping you off. The interest rate is 6% per month, and it'll double in a year! If you don't pay it back, the interest will snowball into a huge sum."
Lin Chen was worried that she might be considering taking out a high-interest loan.
Jiang Ning smiled slightly: "Who said I wanted to borrow it?"
"Jiang Rou is short of money, isn't she? I'll go borrow some for her!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen pinched her cheek and laughed.
"My wife looks better when she smiles. Come on, I'll take you there."
Whenever he sees his wife smile, his heart feels as sweet as if it's been sweetened with honey.
The two rode their motorcycle to the address on the business card to find the person.
A man who called himself Dapeng received them.
Dapeng has a family member who is a senior executive at a bank, so it's very convenient for him to get a loan from the bank.
He then lent out this money at high interest rates, earning the difference between the two.
At first, he only did small-scale operations, but after accumulating a fortune, his appetite grew bigger and bigger. He then partnered with a group of thugs, forming a loan and debt collection industry chain.
Jiang Ning asked to borrow 50,000 yuan, and Da Peng immediately became interested.
"You've borrowed so much, can you afford to pay it back?" They were also worried that they wouldn't be able to get the money back.
Lin Chen smiled:
"Have you heard of the Lido Dance Hall? The owner is in jail and doesn't have working capital right now, so he asked us to lend him some money to tide him over. Once he gets out, the dance hall will be back in business and making money every day for several days. Are you worried about not being able to pay back these tens of thousands of yuan?"
Da Peng had heard of Pitt. It could be said that he and Pitt each occupied their own territory and had no connection with each other.
But now that Pitt is asking him for money, it means he needs something from him, so he definitely needs to take advantage of this opportunity to control him.
"Okay, you sign this agreement, and I'll lend you the money."
Da Peng took out a handwritten loan agreement, which was filled with detailed information about the loan amount, repayment date, interest, and consequences of not repaying on time.
Jiang Ning was very satisfied and took the agreement into her hands.
"Okay, I'll come back to you after you sign it. You should prepare 50,000 yuan in advance."
After leaving Dapeng, she didn't rush to find Jiang Jianguo. Instead, she found paper and pen and wrote a statement severing her relationship with her parents.
She had figured it out. Regardless of whether they were her biological children or not, she would take this opportunity to sever ties with them.
After finishing the agreement, they went to the bank again.
Jiang Ning first withdrew 50,000 yuan from her own account.
She knew that Jiang Jianguo was the kind of person who wouldn't act without a clear benefit, and wouldn't easily sign anything without money.
Soon, Jiang Ning arrived at Jiang Jian's home with a statement and an agreement in hand.
Lin Chen followed closely behind, carrying 50,000 yuan in a paper bag.
Upon seeing Jiang Jianguo, Jiang Ning didn't waste any words. Pointing to a bag full of money, she said to him:
“This is an agreement to sever our parent-child relationship. Since you made Jiang Rou borrow money from me, then this money will buy us a complete break.”
Jiang Jianguo originally wanted to defend himself, but when he saw the full 50,000 yuan in Lin Chen's hand, he winked slyly at Li Damei and swallowed hard.
Li Damei nodded almost imperceptibly, her lips curving upwards in an uncontrollable smile.
Jiang Rou didn't just want 20,000 yuan, so can she give the rest back to her son?
Jiang Jianguo agreed without much hesitation.
"Okay, this is a statement of severance of relations, and this is a receipt for the money received. Please sign it."
Jiang Ning handed him the pen, but clutched the two sheets of paper tightly in her own hand.
Jiang Jianguo wanted to see it, but she snatched it away.
"If you don't want to sign, then forget it. I don't have much patience."
We definitely can't let him see what's on the paper.
Jiang Jianguo signed the document without hesitation, all for the sake of 50,000 yuan.
Li Damei came over to take the money, but Lin Chen blocked her.
"No, you can't be the only one signing the document to sever ties. Jiang Rou has to sign too. Let's wait for her to come back."
Jiang Ning rolled up the two pieces of paper and put them in her pocket.
Lin Chen, holding the money, waited patiently.
Jiang Jianguo was getting anxious. He couldn't let this prize, which was practically in his hands, slip away like that!
He quickly sent Li Damei to find Jiang Rou and bring her back.
More than an hour later, Jiang Rou finally returned.
Jiang Jianguo was losing patience and urged Jiang Rou to sign the document quickly.
Jiang Rou's eyes lit up when she saw the 50,000 yuan.
It's just a matter of severing ties. Do you really think that a piece of paper can make you disown your parents?
After Jiang Ning took out the paper, she signed it without even looking at it.
She successfully received the 50,000 yuan.
Jiang Ning and Lin Chen took the signed agreement and went to find Da Peng again.
He successfully obtained 50,000 yuan and deposited it in the bank, thus setting a trap for Jiang Rou.
