Su Ruan and Jiang Chi's expressions were like a palette, constantly changing.
After Jiang Chi fell ill and was hospitalized, it was Jiang Xueqi who exposed the matter.
Jiang Xueqi's phone clearly captured footage of Jiang Li touching the tea canister.
However, because the light was too dim, it was impossible to tell whether Jiang Li had replaced all the tea leaves or filled the tea canister completely.
However, Jiang Chi did sense a change in the tea leaves, which meant that the tea leaves must have been replaced.
However, the tea tasted different two days after Jiang Li left, which naturally made the matter even more intriguing.
Seeing that Su Ruan and Jiang Chi didn't look too good, Jiang Li stopped there.
As long as they knew what was going on, Jiang Li changed the subject, "Where are the test results? Can I see them?"
Jiang Chi was still immersed in his own world and did not answer Jiang Li.
Su Ruan was the first to react, finding the test results and handing them to her.
In any case, Jiang Li does know a little about medicine, so it won't hurt to let her take a look.
Of course, Su Ruan didn't expect Jiang Li to offer any useful advice.
After all, the doctors had already given Jiang Chi a death sentence.
After reading the examination report, Jiang Li looked at the X-ray films.
She frowned, her voice filled with doubt, "The cancer cells are indeed spreading, but the spread is still within a controllable range. If surgery is performed sooner, there is still hope for recovery. Why did the doctors in the hospital give up so easily? They are even unwilling to perform surgery on Mr. Jiang?"
The Jiang family is wealthy and there is no reason why they cannot afford medical expenses.
Upon hearing this, Su Ruan burst into tears. "It was our own decision not to have the surgery."
"Um?"
“The doctors said the surgery is too risky; they're not even 10% sure it will be successful.” Su Ruan’s voice choked with emotion. “If the surgery fails, I might die immediately, but with conservative treatment, at least I can live a little longer…”
"Actually, this surgery isn't difficult, I can..."
"Jiang Li!" Before Jiang Li could finish speaking, she was interrupted by an angry voice, "How dare you show your face in front of Dad? I originally thought you just didn't like me, but I never expected you would actually harm Dad!"
It was Jiang Xueqi who barged in.
Jiang Li watched Jiang Xueqi go crazy quietly, and only spoke up when she stopped.
"Mr. Jiang hasn't even said anything yet, Jiang Xueqi, what are you doing jumping in?" Jiang Li's expression was dark and cold, her tone flat. "After all this time, you still haven't learned to shut up, have you?"
Jiang Xueqi was frightened by Jiang Li's gaze.
But thinking of the "evidence" she held, she retorted defiantly, "If you hadn't harmed Dad, I wouldn't want to talk to you! Do you really think I want to meddle in your business?"
She paused, then said in a chilling tone, "That's true. After all, she's not the daughter your parents raised. How could you possibly feel heartache and sadness when your parents have an accident?"
As she spoke, Jiang Xueqi's eyes reddened even more.
Those who are unaware of the situation will be moved by her filial piety.
Only Jiang Li's eyes were filled with frost and ice. With a wooden face, she asked, "Are you so angry and so hysterical in trying to pin the blame on me because you want to confirm my guilt and thus exonerate yourself?"
Jiang Xueqi's expression instantly stiffened.
But she quickly realized what she meant and looked incredulous. "What do you mean? You mean I'm the one who caused Dad to become like this?"
"What if I said yes?" Jiang Li's expression was unreadable, but her gaze toward Jiang Xueqi was full of coldness. "I thought you would restrain yourself a little after what happened with Yao Qing, but instead of restraining yourself, you have become even more outrageous. Jiang Xueqi, do you really think that no matter how much trouble you cause, you will not have to bear the consequences?"
"You..." Jiang Xueqi's eyes showed a hint of panic, but she still stubbornly said, "Jiang Li, I never thought you were such a disgusting person. Not only did you steal Dad's tea leaves and deny it, but now you want to throw mud at me! What, do you find my existence so annoying? You wish you could get rid of me as soon as possible?"
Jiang Li couldn't help but applaud Jiang Xueqi's words.
“I believe this is your true feeling.” Jiang Li’s expression became more playful, and her gaze towards Jiang Xueqi held an unspeakable mockery. “You wish you could get rid of me as soon as possible. This is probably your deepest thought, isn’t it?”
"I'm talking about you, why are you dragging me into this again?"
“I remember now…” Jiang Li seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said, “The night before I left, Mr. Jiang punished you by making you kneel in the ancestral hall and forbidding you from coming out. Just as I came back from outside, you quietly left the ancestral hall, so… if you were not allowed to come out, why did you come out? What did you come out to do?”
Jiang Xueqi, confident that she had video evidence, answered without hesitation, "I admit that I went out that night because I was so hungry that I went out to find something to eat. But after seeing what you did, I believe that it was all fate, that God deliberately made me see that scene so that I could expose your true colors!"
"So you knew about this from the moment I came back, and you even saw me tamper with the tea that Mr. Jiang usually drinks?" Jiang Li's expression became ambiguous again.
Jiang Xueqi answered firmly, "That's right!"
Jiang Li shrugged and turned to look at Su Ruan and Jiang Chi. "There are some things I don't want to say, but after hearing our conversation just now, you should have your own judgment, right?"
Su Ruan closed her eyes and remained silent.
She was afraid that if she opened her eyes, the disappointment in them would no longer be able to be concealed.
Jiang Xueqi is her beloved daughter.
Even if she made a mistake, she didn't criticize her too harshly; she just hoped that she could correct it and not make the same mistake again.
Even under these circumstances, she still felt that Jiang Xueqi had misunderstood, and that the mother-daughter and father-daughter relationship between them remained unchanged.
But she didn't expect...
When Jiang Xueqi saw that Jiang Li had tampered with the tea leaves, and even suspected that Jiang Li had ulterior motives, so she recorded Jiang Li's actions, she didn't warn anyone in the Jiang family not to touch the tea leaves.
Even if she only had suspicions and no evidence, so she couldn't say much, she could still think of a way to stop Jiang Chi from drinking the tea.
But she didn't...
Not only did she not do that, but after Jiang Chi's accident, she immediately produced the video recording and shifted all the blame onto Jiang Li.
Especially after she learned that the tea leaves had been replaced by someone else...
That feeling of disappointment, complexity, and heartache...
It becomes even more obvious.
I never imagined she had dedicated so much of herself for so many years...
In the end, they raised such an ungrateful child.
Seeing that Su Ruan remained silent and Jiang Chi showed no sign of speaking, Jiang Xueqi became even more flustered.
What do Mom and Dad mean by this?
Why did they suddenly fall silent?
At this point, shouldn't they be condemning Jiang Li, this troublemaker?
Since Jiang Li came back, their family has completely changed.
Home is not home, family is not family...
The warmth and harmony of the past now seem like a mirage.
If you throw in a pebble, it will all scatter.
Just as Jiang Xueqi was filled with grief and indignation, Jiang Chengzhe suddenly burst in. He excitedly told Jiang Chi, "Dad is saved! I've made contact with the Bai family!"
