Chapter 106: Is that person inside Jiang Ruohe?
Early the next morning, Song Yan came to pick up Wang Yingzhi. Wang Yingzhi packed a few clothes and told me before leaving to take care of my health during the few days she was away.
"Mom, don't worry, I will take care of myself. When you arrive in Lijiang, give me a call and take some pictures of the beautiful scenery."
Wang Yingzhi nodded and said yes, looked behind me, and called Jiang Ruohe who had just come downstairs.
“Ruohe, I’m not here, please take care of Xiaowan.”
Jiang Ruohe walked down the stairs and stood beside me.
"Don't worry, my wife, I will take good care of her."
After Jiang Ruohe finished speaking, he turned to look at Song Yan.
"After sending my mom to the airport, go back and pack your things, and go to North City in my place tonight."
Song Yan was a little surprised.
"Didn't you say you were going with Xiaowan? I've already booked tickets for both of you."
After hearing what Song Yan said, I also looked up at Jiang Ruohe. When we were having dinner yesterday, he said he would take me to North City, so why did he suddenly let Song Yan go?
"I have some things to take care of, so I can't go for now. It's the same if you go. Don't you have a copy of the meeting materials?"
Song Yan scratched his head.
"I'm just an assistant. I don't know if the managers in North City will..."
Jiang Ruohe reached out and patted Song Yan's shoulder and smiled.
"You can do it."
Wang Yingzhi looked at Jiang Ruohe.
"You told me yesterday that you would take Xiaowan to Beicheng, but you won't go today. So where do you plan to take Xiaowan? How about letting Xiaowan go to Lijiang with me?" Wang Yingzhi looked at me with a smile.
I didn't say anything, but Jiang Ruohe put his hand on my shoulder and looked at Wang Yingzhi.
"Mom, why do you always want to separate Xiaowan and me?"
Jiang Ruohe turned and looked at me after he finished speaking.
"I've been really busy these past few days. After a few days, when things are settled, I'll put down my work and take you out for a few days."
I looked at Jiang Ruohe and nodded in agreement.
At this moment, my mind is full of the woman I saw yesterday. In fact, I really want to ask him, but I am worried that if I ask, he may think that I don’t trust him.
After thinking about it, I decided to give up and told myself that I must trust Jiang Ruohe.
Wang Yingzhi looked at the two of us and smiled, saying that she would not break up the couple. She looked at the time and said that she had to catch a plane.
After Song Yan and Wang Yingzhi left, Jiang Ruohe and I sat at the dining table and ate the breakfast made by Liu Ma. Before we finished breakfast, Jiang Ruohe's cell phone, which was placed on the dining table, rang. I glanced at it and it was the same number from yesterday.
Jiang Ruohe reached out and picked up the phone.
"Hey. I got it. I'll be right here. Okay."
Jiang Ruohe hung up the phone, ate a few mouthfuls of porridge casually, stood up and told me that he had to go to work.
I didn't look at him, but just nodded lightly. Seeing me like this, Jiang Ruohe kissed me on the cheek and said that he would come back early to accompany me tonight.
I glanced at Jiang Ruohe's leaving back, and a hint of complexity flashed across my eyes.
Time passed peacefully for several days. During these days, Jiang Ruohe would come home on time every day after get off work. He would accompany me to the hospital to see Lian Yi and Yi Chen, and would occasionally take me out to eat. During these days, I didn't notice anything abnormal with Jiang Ruohe. My uneasy heart gradually calmed down as time passed.
After Wang Yingzhi finished her seven-day trip to Lijiang, Jiang Ruohe asked Song Yan to book a ticket for her to Tibet. This made me a little confused. After he hung up the phone, I looked up at him.
"Why do I feel like you don't want Mom to go back to South City?"
Jiang Ruohe smiled and put his phone on the bedside table.
He put his arms around my waist and leaned against me with a smile.
"The main reason is that my dad divorced Tian Rong, and he was really hit hard. Grandpa said that day that since my dad had learned his lesson, why not reconcile with my mom and let him be more obedient in the future. Looking at my dad's expression, he actually didn't object..."
"And I know my parents aren't happy together. My mom finally ended a loveless marriage with my dad after so many years, and I don't want them to be entangled anymore. So, for this month, I won't let my mom go back to South City."
"I didn't expect that grandpa would have such an idea?" I looked up at Jiang Ruohe.
"Old people always want their families to be together. I understand your thoughts."
Jiang Ruohe's hands began to become restless.
"Xiao Wan, it's been almost half a month..." He blew air into my ear, making me feel a little uncomfortable all over.
I rolled my eyes at him and told him he was about to go to work.
"I don't care, I miss you." Jiang Ruohe kissed my lips.
After the passion, Jiang Ruohe kissed me fiercely several times, then got out of bed and went to the bathroom. I lay in bed looking at my phone calendar and remembered that I had promised Yichen that I would go to the cemetery to see Jiang Ting, and it would be a good opportunity to visit my dad as well.
I got up and put on my clothes. At this moment, Jiang Ruohe's cell phone, which was placed on the bedside table, rang and a text message appeared on the screen. I glanced at it casually.
It turned out to be a reminder message from the hotel saying that the room 808 he had booked had been successfully renewed.
This hotel is the one I saw Jiang Ruohe and the curly-haired woman enter ten days ago. My heart sank. Within a minute, his phone rang. It was the same phone number as before, but with a note: xj
I was stunned for a moment. What kind of name is this? Xiao Jing? The first thing that came to my mind was these two words.
Jiang Ruohe heard his cell phone ringing and walked out of the bathroom. I sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Jiang Ruohe, then looked at his cell phone. Jiang Ruohe walked over, saw the caller ID, picked up the phone, and walked to the balcony.
I didn't hear clearly what Jiang Ruohe said to the other person, but looking at his gentle face, I felt a little upset. I shook my head, got up and went to the bathroom.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Ruohe appeared at the bathroom door and said he was going to have breakfast first.
"good."
After he left, I stopped rubbing my face and looked at myself in the mirror. My face looked very bad. After a while, I calmed down and felt uneasy.
After applying moisturizer, I went downstairs and sat next to Jiang Ruohe. When Aunt Liu saw me coming down, she served me a bowl of porridge from the kitchen and brought out some dishes.
"Thank you, Aunt Liu."
Aunt Liu said you’re welcome, turned to me and said she was going to see Guoguo later and would be back before dinner in the afternoon.
I looked up at Aunt Liu and told her to stay at her son's place for another day. Jiang Ruohe and I would take care of dinner ourselves.
"That's so bad..."
Jiang Ruohe looked up at Liu Ma and said it was okay.
"It just so happens that today is Grandpa's birthday. I will take Xiaowan to the Jiang family's old house to celebrate Grandpa's birthday in the evening."
After hearing what Jiang Ruohe said, Aunt Liu nodded and agreed.
"Then I'll be back tomorrow at noon." Aunt Liu smiled at us and went upstairs.
After Aunt Liu went upstairs, I turned to look at Jiang Ruohe in confusion.
"Is today Grandpa's birthday?"
"Well, that's the text message Wang Ma just sent me. If she hadn't told me, I wouldn't have been able to recall it right now."
"How about we hold a birthday party for grandpa?" I asked Jiang Ruohe.
Jiang Ruohe shook his head and said that he had the idea of holding a birthday party for his grandfather every year, but the old man disagreed, saying that every birthday made him one year older, so there was nothing to do. He said that the family should just have a happy meal at home.
I looked at Jiang Ruohe and said, "Then let's go buy a gift for grandpa later."
"I've already asked Song Yan to buy it, so you don't have to buy it. I'll pick you up after I get off work."
Jiang Ruohe kissed me and said he had to go to work.
After he left, I also went out, drove to the flower shop, bought a few bouquets of flowers, and went to the cemetery.
When I just entered the cemetery, it was a coincidence that I ran into Shao Han who had just come out. When Shao Han saw me, there was a flash of emotion in his eyes that I couldn't understand.
I walked towards him and smiled at him. Shao Han looked at the flowers in my hand, was stunned for a moment, and asked me why I bought several bouquets of flowers.
"Oh, I'm here to see my dad, my aunt, and a friend of mine."
Shao Han glanced at me and said he was leaving first. I nodded and said okay.
I entered the cemetery and went to see my father first. I placed one of the flowers in front of my father's tombstone. Looking at the photo on the tombstone, my eyes instantly became red.
"Dad, Shen Xiuting, the one who plotted to murder you, is dead. It was her good daughter, Tian Rong, who killed her. It's a pity that Tian Rong is Grandpa Shao's granddaughter. I can't do anything to her now, but don't worry, I'll keep this account in mind for a while. I will definitely get it back from her."
"Dad, I really miss you. I wish you were still alive and by my side."
I stood in front of my father's grave for a while, wiped the tears from my face, and looked at the photo on the tombstone again.
"Dad, I'll come see you again when I have time."
After paying respects to my father, I went to Jiang Ting's grave. Looking at the photo of her young and charming self, I felt a pity. I placed lilies on her grave, knelt down, and called out "Auntie."
"This is my first time visiting you. I learned about your death. A lot of things happened during that time. Jiang Ruohe faked his death, and later I was framed as the murderer of Shen Xiuting. I couldn't come to see you. I hope you can forgive me."
"Yichen wanted to come today, but something happened to her. She will come to see you as soon as she recovers. Yichen is a good girl. I hope you will bless her in heaven."
I stood up and planned to visit another person. When I turned around, I found Wang Chuan standing behind me with a bouquet of flowers. He was looking at me in a daze.
Seeing me staring at him, he came back to his senses, walked towards me, and placed the lily in his hand in front of the tombstone.
"Uncle, I didn't expect you to come to see me." I looked at him in surprise.
Wang Chuan sighed and said that after all, they were once husband and wife, and she was Yi Chen's mother, so let's forget about the past grudges.
I looked at him and said, "Indeed."
Wang Chuan saw that I still had a bouquet of lilies in my hand and asked me, "Are you going to see my dad?"
"My dad has already been there. I'm planning to go visit a friend of mine. I'll go to the hospital after I'm done."
"Then I'll wait for you and go to the hospital with you later."
Wang Chuan said his car broke down on the way and he took a taxi. The cemetery is in the suburbs, so it's difficult to get a taxi when leaving.
I nodded and said okay, and asked Wang Chuan to wait for me here. Relying on my memory, I stood in front of Chen Xi's tombstone and looked at the photo on the tombstone. I felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to say to him.
I lowered my head and was about to place the bouquet of lilies in front of the tombstone, but I saw that there was already a bouquet of lilies on it. Looking at the fresh lilies, it must have been placed today. I was a little surprised. Who came to see Chen Xi?
I suddenly thought of Tian Hong. It seemed like I hadn't seen her for a long time.
After Uncle Chen hanged himself, she asked Xiao Shi for money a second time. Xiao Shi refused to give her money, so she stabbed him and disappeared. However, given her character, she definitely wouldn't come to see Chen Xi. Because Chen Xi was just her adopted son, the couple pretended to be so sad because they wanted to take advantage of my debt to Chen Xi and cheat me out of money.
Who exactly came to see Chen Xi? After thinking about it, it might be a former classmate. After all, Chen Xi used to be quite popular.
I didn't think too much about it. I looked up at the photo on the tombstone again and turned away.
When I walked up to Wang Chuan, he was on the phone.
"Have you informed him? Okay, I understand."
Wang Chuan hung up the phone, turned around and saw me, put the phone in his trouser pocket, walked up to me and said, "Let's go."
When we left the cemetery, Wang Chuan suddenly looked up at me.
"Two days ago, I heard Yi Chen say that your father adopted you from an orphanage?"
I didn't want to avoid talking about my background and just nodded.
"Have you ever thought about finding your biological parents? If so, I can help you investigate."
I shook my head and smiled.
"What's there to look for? He was abandoned in an orphanage. If we find him and then meet him and learn the cruel truth, it would be so embarrassing, right? Besides, my father has been so good to me over the past twenty years. If I go to look for him, I will feel sorry for him. Although he is gone, in my heart, he is my only father." I turned to look at Wang Chuan.
Wang Chuan trembled and looked at me.
"That's not right. Maybe your parents have some difficulties, or something else..."
"That has nothing to do with me. I only know that I have lived with my father since I was a child." I looked at Wang Chuan.
Wang Chuan didn't say anything else. They walked to the front of the car together. At that moment, my phone rang. I glanced at it and saw it was Han Liang calling. I said to Wang Chuan, "I'll go answer the phone first."
On the phone, Han Liang told me with a frustrated look on his face that they received reliable information today and knew where Ma Hua was hiding. After strict surveillance, when they were preparing to carry out a secret arrest, Ma Hua seemed to know that we were going to arrest him, broke the window and escaped, and while running, he also injured two of Han Liang's colleagues.
"Aren't they under strict surveillance? How did Ma Hua still escape?" I asked Han Liang with a puzzled look on my face.
"I'm also wondering. The news of arresting Ma Hua was known to the colleagues who carried out the operation, but the news leaked out..." Han Liang suddenly stopped and called Yan Yun on the phone.
"Hey. Tell me, is there a spy?" I heard Han Liang ask Yan Yun on the other end of the phone.
"That shouldn't be the case. The colleagues who went on the patrol this time are all trustworthy people. It's impossible for them to leak the information. We can only say that Ma Hua may be very vigilant. He may have noticed something and discovered our deployment." Yan Yun said, and asked Han Liang who he was talking to on the phone.
"Xiaowan." Han Liang said and started talking to me again.
We chatted for a while, and he assured me that he would catch this Ma Hua next time and find out the mastermind behind the incident eight years ago.
"Wait for your good news." After saying that, I hung up the phone.
I put my phone in my pocket, took out my car keys, walked to the front of the car, looked at him apologetically, and said I had kept him waiting for a long time.
"It's okay." He smiled at me and opened the car door.
I drove Wang Chuan to the hospital. When I entered Yichen's ward, I suddenly heard Jiang Yichen talking to Chen Dong.
"You saw it again?" Jiang Yichen looked at Chen Dong in surprise.
Wang Chuan pushed the door open and asked what he saw.
When Jiang Yichen and Chen Dong saw me, they both looked a little uncomfortable and shook their heads, saying they didn't see anything.
I walked up to Jiang Yichen and asked her how she was doing. Jiang Yichen pointed to her right leg and said that the plaster could not be removed for another ten days.
"I'll probably have to wait twenty days before I can treat you to a meal."
I smiled and told her to just focus on recovering and not to think about treating me to a meal. Jiang Yichen took my hand.
"How can that be? You saved my life. I must treat you to a meal."
"Okay, when you get better, you can treat me." I said with a smile.
After a while, Wang Chuan received a call. His expression changed, and he told Jiang Yichen that he had to go back to the company, then left.
After Wang Chuan left, Jiang Yichen looked at me, then looked at Chen Dong behind her, and said that she wanted to drink yogurt, and asked Chen Dong to buy her some.
"It's in the cabinet." Chen Dong said.
Jiang Yichen rolled her eyes at Chen Dong and said that she didn't like that brand of yogurt and asked Chen Dong to buy another brand of yogurt.
"Oh, I understand." Chen Dong got up and went out.
I glanced at Jiang Yichen and said that she was really picky. This brand of yogurt was also very delicious. I used to drink it often.
Jiang Yichen smiled awkwardly and took my hand again.
"Xiao Wan, how is your relationship with my brother these days?"
I looked puzzled and said, "I'm fine." Seeing Jiang Yichen's strange expression, I asked her what was wrong?
Jiang Yichen came back to his senses and said that everything was fine.
"Xiao Wan, let me tell you, these days, some women like to stick to rich men. My brother is so handsome and rich, I'm afraid someone will be interested in him too. When that happens, you have to be more careful."
I smiled and told Jiang Yichen that I believed in Jiang Ruohe.
"I think even if a woman likes him, he will refuse."
"Let me make an assumption. What if my brother didn't refuse in a moment of confusion?" Jiang Yichen looked at me.
I thought about it and looked up at Jiang Yichen.
"If your brother betrays me, there's no point in continuing this marriage. I'm afraid I'll just let go and leave..."
"Ah? Can't you forgive me just once?"
"Haha, why should I forgive him? If he betrayed me, then he doesn't love me anymore. If he doesn't love me anymore, why should I keep him?"
"I will definitely turn around and find a new job, work hard to improve myself, and maybe I'll meet someone better in the future, right?"
I asked Jiang Yichen again, if Chen Dong betrayed her, would she choose to forgive him?
"Never forgive."
"That's it." I looked at her.
Jiang Yichen nodded and said yes.
After a while, Chen Dong came back, handed the yogurt to Jiang Yichen, and turned around to give me a bottle.
"By the way, I heard that you told my brother to let me, Chen Dong, go to Jiang's for an interview?" Jiang Yichen asked me.
I nodded and looked at Chen Dong, saying that all employees who wanted to join Jiang's had to undergo assessment and could not take any backdoors. Whether or not he could join Jiang's would depend on Chen Dong himself.
"It's okay, I believe him. I used to think it was a shame for him to be a courier and told him to quit. He also said that his boss treated him well and he didn't want to quit and wanted to work steadily. But in the end, his boss was so heartless. When I got into a car accident, Chen Dong gave a few packages to a colleague to deliver, but he was late and received a complaint. His boss fired him directly. It's really..."
Jiang Yichen said that if she had been like that before, she would definitely have asked someone to beat up the boss, but now she thought she should forgive him while she could.
"Wait, go back and talk to my brother. Chen Dong will go for an interview next Monday, and I'll ask Qian Ma to take care of me."
Jiang Yichen turned to look at Chen Dong and asked him to work harder. Jiang Yichen said she had made up her mind, and when her leg healed, she would go to her father's company to study.
"By the way, today is my grandfather's birthday." Jiang Yichen reached out to open the cabinet, took out a gift and handed it to me, saying that she had prepared it yesterday.
"I know you and my brother are going to the old house today. Please take it to Grandpa for me and tell him that I miss him very much. It's just that my leg is so bad right now. I can't go even if I want to."
I nodded and said okay, then put it on the table beside me and said I would get it when I left.
After chatting with Jiang Yichen for a while, it was three o'clock in the afternoon unknowingly. I looked at the time and said I had to go back to prepare. When I walked to the elevator, I remembered that I forgot to take the gift Jiang Yichen gave to his grandfather, so I hurried back.
When I arrived at the door of the ward, I heard Jiang Yichen and Chen Dong talking.
"What should I do? I just tested Xiaowan, and she said she would divorce me if my brother cheated on her. Now my brother has cheated, and Xiaowan is so nice. I don't want them to get divorced?" Jiang Yichen said anxiously.
I stopped suddenly and stood there in a daze.
"How about you just call your cousin and ask him to dump that woman, and then keep this a secret from Xiaowan, okay?" Chen Dong said.
"Yes, yes, I have to call my brother. Xiaowan is such a good person, but he doesn't cherish her. It's really too much." Jiang Yichen muttered and took out his mobile phone.
Seeing that she was about to make a phone call, I hurriedly pushed the door open. They were both shocked when they saw me.
"Xiao Wan." Jiang Yichen called me softly.
I walked up to her and asked her how she found out that Jiang Ruohe was cheating on her?
"Is that the curly-haired woman?"
Jiang Yichen looked at me in surprise.
"How do you know?"
I didn't say anything. I looked at Jiang Yichen and Chen Dong and asked them again how they found out about Jiang Ruohe's infidelity. Jiang Yichen, realizing she couldn't lie to me, said that when Chen Dong bought her shrimp before, he saw them eating together, and today he actually saw them entering the hotel.
"Is it a seven-star hotel?" I asked.
Chen Dong suddenly looked up at me.
"Xiao Wan, so you know everything?" Jiang Yichen was also stunned.
I didn't say anything, picked up the gift Jiang Yichen prepared for grandpa, and glanced at her.
"Don't call your brother about this."
Jiang Yichen nodded repeatedly.
After I left the hospital, I drove straight to the hotel. Now that things had come to this, I had to get to the bottom of this matter.
After arriving at the hotel, I took the elevator directly to the eighth floor, found room 808, and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened and it was the charming curly-haired woman. She was wearing a bathrobe and looked at me in surprise, asking who I was looking for.
I didn't answer and looked straight into the room. Next to the sofa, there was a pile of men's clothes. These clothes were too familiar and made me feel a little sad. At this time, I heard the sound of showering in the bathroom.
"Is that person inside Jiang Ruohe?" I asked.
"Yeah." She looked at me in surprise.
At this time, the sound of water running in the bathroom stopped, and Jiang Ruohe's voice was heard.
"Give me my pants..."
I looked down and saw that the curly-haired woman was holding Jiang Ruohe's underwear in her hand. I bought it for him a few days ago.
