Chapter 325 I Should Take You Away
Hearing this, Sheng Huaian stared blankly at the small hand covering the back of his hand. The finger bones were slender and the nails had a hint of light color. They were smooth and as white as jade.
He almost thought he was hallucinating, "What?"
Jiang Zhiyue clearly didn't want to acknowledge her relatives.
He was able to accompany her to the hospital because Father Sheng was seriously ill. Without a miracle, Father Sheng relied on his last obsession to force himself to see Jiang Wanrou. When this last obsession disappeared, his body was already at the end of its strength.
Father Sheng was lying on the hospital bed, his face as pale as usual and his breath barely fading.
Jiang Zhiyue's words at the Sheng family were resolute and angry. Sheng's father advised Mr. Sheng to postpone their acquaintance, probably because he took into account her rejection.
Jiang Zhiyue was focused on Mr. Sheng's thoughts but ignored Mr. Sheng's father's feelings.
What is family affection? She had only felt it in Jiang Wanrou. Everything she did was done with Jiang Wanrou in mind. When they were in a disadvantageous position, she would think about how to turn the situation around.
Jiang Zhiyue still finds it difficult to adapt to the sudden appearance of other people in her world.
There have been many twists and turns along the way, and now the person standing next to her is Sheng Huaian. Jiang Zhiyue couldn't help but think of his unreliable look when they first met in the club.
Fate really played a huge joke on her. It turned out that Jiang Wanrou's closest relatives had already met each other.
However, before the relatives who had been separated for many years had time to enjoy the joy of reunion, Sheng's father fell into a coma again, and a notice of critical illness was issued today.
Father Sheng was content, however. He chose not to disturb Jiang Wanrou's life, as long as he knew she was still alive.
"Brother and sister..." Jiang Zhiyue murmured.
Due to a series of human errors, they are separated by death when they meet again.
Jiang Wanrou, who lost her memory, still hasn't remembered anything about the Sheng family.
How could Jiang Zhiyue not be moved? She looked at the person on the hospital bed without moving her eyes. Instead of being moved, she actually felt a sense of injustice for no reason.
People who do many evil things still live a life of luxury.
However, Sheng's father and Jiang Wanrou, who have been persecuted all their lives, have nowhere to vent their suffering, and the scales of fate have never tilted in their favor.
After his first wife passed away, Mr. Sheng's father was older than Mrs. Sheng's two children, and Mr. Sheng taught him to be humble and tolerant in everything.
When the first power struggle in the Sheng family broke out, Sheng's father was besieged by the entire family and suffered multiple assassination attempts. Old Master Sheng knew it very well, but he called what Sheng's father had experienced a wolf-like education, and the winner is the winner.
This made Jiang Zhiyue think of another person. The Qin family also followed the same approach, but the person chosen by the Qin family from beginning to end was Qin Si.
Father Sheng had to rely on himself. Even when he was at his lowest point and had been cut off from all resources, he still wanted to make a name for himself.
There was no help, only suppression and denial from the family.
Jiang Zhiyue knew too well the feeling of fighting alone. On the other hand, Mrs. Sheng's youngest son naturally inherited the Sheng family after his father passed away.
"Zhiyue?" Sheng Huaian felt the small hand covering the back of his hand and suddenly clenched it.
The girl's eyes were still calm. When she looked up, Sheng Huaian felt that her emotions were very tense and ready to explode.
"You also find it ridiculous, right? I'm actually your brother..." Sheng Huaian had to look away and look into the distance, "Fate has played a cruel trick on both my father and me. If I had known that you were my aunt's daughter and we had first met at the club, I should have taken you away."
"Father has told me that after I find you, I will use my life to protect you and not let anyone bully you and your aunt. Whether you are willing to acknowledge me as your brother or not, I will always be your brother."
He was able to calmly accept the worst outcome, and only wanted to have a clear conscience, not let his father leave the world with regrets, fulfill his father's wish, and stick to his promise to his father.
Jiang Zhiyue was silent for a few seconds, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed, like a flame that was slowly igniting.
She said nothing, letting Sheng Huaian hold her tightly, then shook her head. Sheng Huaian did not notice the slight movement, as his eyes finally looked towards the ward reluctantly.
Jiang Zhiyue looked at the handsome profile and curled her lips silently. She didn't need him to protect her with his life. He should stand in a higher position.
........
Sheng family.
Compared to the news that the missing eldest daughter is about to return to the family, there is another more sensational event that deserves the attention of all family members.
At the end of this month, the handover ceremony of family management rights was officially completed, marking the rise of a new generation of leaders.
Mr. Sheng's second son, Sheng Hui, will return to Monterey Park to hold a celebration ceremony. In the presence of the entire Brandenburg dignitaries, he will wear the Medal of Honor awarded by the Presidential Palace.
He will officially become the ruler of North Siri State, Dallas State and Oport State, holding great power and controlling the political and economic lifelines of several major regions. More importantly, he will also have jurisdiction over his private army.
This marked the irreversible decline of the eldest branch of the family.
So, at this critical moment, Miss Sheng, who is about to return, will be in an awkward position. As the daughter of the eldest wife who has been missing for many years, how should she face the second wife who has already held power?
Old Mrs. Sheng loved listening to operas, appreciating flowers, feeding fish, and playing chess. As the days passed, she reviewed the procedures of the celebration ceremony and handed it over to her confidants.
Mother Lin wanted to volunteer, but Old Lady Sheng said with a smile, "You are a person who is always more likely to cause trouble than to help. I don't trust you with this."
Mother Lin was angry, "Mother!"
Old Madam Sheng said, "If you hadn't acted impulsively and fought with Jiang Wanrou at Gu's house, how could a little girl have noticed something was wrong? I warned you when you were a child."
"The butterfly effect is the scariest thing in the world. A life-long plan can be disrupted by a sudden change in a certain link. If you are not careful, all your previous efforts will be in vain!"
"Your father wants to recognize his relatives at the celebration ceremony." said Mrs. Sheng.
"How can this be possible, for a maid!" Mother Lin felt crazy just thinking that at such a glorious moment, there would be another Jiang Wanrou.
Old Madam Sheng looked at her coldly as she couldn't hide her feelings, and shook her head.
This kind of thing can't possibly happen.
The news that Jiang Wanrou was pregnant before marriage and had an illegitimate daughter had already spread throughout the streets and alleys. Old Master Sheng valued his reputation, so even though he acknowledged her as his daughter, he did not dare to let Jiang Wanrou appear in public.
"You can get out of the Inspection Office because your father promised Xiao Jingrun that he would take charge of the construction of the slum area." Old Lady Sheng continued, "But if Xian'er wants to get out, you can only reconcile with the Gu family, or let her be imprisoned with Gu Zhaoye."
