It took Nan Yuanman a while to remember who Jiang Lixuan was after seeing the name.
Since she held a press conference in S City to clear her mother's name and punish those who were truly wrong, the Jiang family has never contacted her again.
The last time she met Jiang Lixuan was at a press conference. She didn't see any more members of the Jiang family until she and Feng Congqian went to Beijing.
Nan Yuanman didn't deliberately inquire about their news, and since she wasn't used to using electronic devices, she hadn't heard anything about the Jiang family for almost a month.
She didn't know why Jiang Lixuan had suddenly called her.
Nan Yuanman thought for two seconds, and the memory of Feng Congqian reading to her in her mother's diary that her mother had called them but they had all hung up on her, flashed through her mind. With a quick press of her chubby little hand, she decisively hung up the phone.
The phone rang again as soon as I hung up.
The South Pole was hung up again.
It rang again, then hung up again.
Feng Congqian watched as Nan Yuanman kept tapping on her watch and gently asked, "Yuanman, what's wrong?"
Nan Yuanman pouted and raised her hand unhappily: "Jiang Lixuan keeps calling me, I don't want to answer his calls."
"Should I block him for you?" Feng Congqian asked for her opinion.
Nan Yuanman tilted his head: "Block?"
“Yes, that’s it…” Feng Congqian instructed Nan Yuanman to add Jiang Lixuan’s number to the blacklist and also block and delete his WeChat account in one go.
This was the first time Nan Yuanman had ever heard of a watch having this function, and she excitedly blocked all the other members of the Jiang family's contact information.
The watch, which had been shaking incessantly, finally quieted down.
Jiang Lixuan, far away in S City, sat dejectedly in the hospital corridor as he listened to the mechanical female voice coming from his phone.
Jiang Hengzhi rushed over, panting, and asked, "How is Mom?"
Jiang Lixuan was no longer the glamorous man he once was. He was dressed sloppily, his chin was covered with stubble, and he had dark circles under his eyes, looking as if he hadn't had a proper rest in a long time.
His voice was hoarse: "The doctor said the situation... might not be good."
Jiang Hengzhi yanked hard on his collar, slumped down next to Jiang Lixuan, let out a long sigh, and gritted his teeth as he said, "Has Dad gone mad...?"
Ge Peiyao went insane when she found out that Jiang Tianzong and Jiang Yueyao were having an affair and had a daughter out of wedlock. As soon as Jiang Tianzong was discharged from the hospital, she started a divorce dispute with him.
However, the company was embroiled in a media storm, and its stock price plummeted. If Ge Peiyao divorced Jiang Tianzong, the company would collapse even faster without the support of the Ge family.
Jiang Tianzong naturally refused to divorce her.
The two of them were like madmen, arguing every two days and fighting every five days. Even if Jiang Tianzong hid in the company, Ge Peiyao would still come to the company to make trouble for him.
I don't know what happened at the company today, but their assistant suddenly called them and said that the two of them got into a fight again and Ge Peiyao was sent to the hospital.
Jiang Lixuan, who lived closest to the hospital, was the first to arrive, only to receive a message from the doctor telling him to prepare himself mentally.
Jiang Lixuan was in great pain and was really afraid that Ge Peiyao would die without knowing why, so he thought of calling Nan Yuanman.
He knew that Ge Peiyao felt guilty towards Bai Wenying, and the voice she most wanted to hear, besides Bai Wenying's, was Nan Yuanman's.
Perhaps Nan Yuanman's voice could strengthen her will to survive.
Can……
Nan Yuanman did not answer his call and even blocked him.
Jiang Lixuan suddenly remembered when he first brought Nan Yuanman back to the Jiang family. She didn't understand anything and asked him about everything. She didn't even know why she messed up the room and slept with him for several days...
Looking back now, it seems like those were the happiest and most peaceful times he spent with Nan Yuanman.
Now……
He was too ashamed to go to the capital to find her.
The two brothers sat silently on the hospital bench. Jiang Hengzhi rubbed his face and asked, "Dad, no, where is Jiang Tianzong now?"
"I don't know. My assistant said that after he finished fighting with Ge Peiyao, he took Jiang Xinxin and left." Jiang Lixuan shook his head wearily.
When Jiang Xinxin was mentioned, Jiang Lixuan and Jiang Hengzhi had mixed feelings.
Niece becomes sister...
They couldn't accept it either.
Jiang Hengzhi fell silent again. After a moment, he asked, "Have you gone to see Jiang Yueyao?"
"No, I won't go. A vicious woman like her isn't worth my visit." Jiang Lixuan's voice was cold. He had already completely lost hope in Jiang Yueyao when she repeatedly tried to shift the blame onto Bai Wenying.
He pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Second brother, once we've settled things with Mom, I... will go live in Batang Village."
He was too ashamed to ask Nan Yuanman for forgiveness, and he knew that the person he owed the most to was Bai Wenying.
But Nan Yuanman wouldn't tell him where Bai Wenying's grave was, so he could only go to Batang Village, to live somewhere closer to her, to... atone for his sins.
Jiang Hengzhi knew why he was going. His throat tightened, and after a long while, he softly hummed in agreement: "Go ahead."
Unlike Jiang Lixuan, who was trying to escape, Jiang Hengzhi still wanted to see Nan Yuanman again and apologize to her in person.
At this moment, Jiang Tianzong, whom Jiang Lixuan and the others were talking about, was holding Jiang Xinxin's hand at S City Airport.
Jiang Xinxin looked at him nervously, and asked timidly in a low voice, "Grandpa, where are we going?"
The Jiang family underwent a major upheaval, and the person most affected was not the adults, but the youngest, Jiang Xinxin.
She still couldn't understand why her uncles stopped liking her in a single day, why her mother had to stay in the police station and wouldn't come out, why her maternal grandfather had become her father, and why her maternal grandmother had kicked her out of the house.
She was confused and thought she hadn't been good enough, that her previous mistakes had upset them, so she had been trying her best to be good and not cause any trouble for anyone.
She just didn't expect that her maternal grandparents, or rather, her father, would still argue because of her presence.
Jiang Tianzong looked down at her, forcing a smile, "Xinxin, let's go to the capital, to a place where... nobody knows us, and start over."
Jiang Xinxin's eyes brightened slightly as she looked at him expectantly: "Aren't you taking Uncle and the others? Where's Mom? Where's Grandma?"
"They'll catch up in a few days." A complex emotion flashed quickly in Jiang Tianzong's eyes. He tightened his grip on Jiang Xinxin's hand and slowly walked towards the boarding gate. "Let's go, it's our turn. Xinxin and Grandpa, go and prepare for the new house, okay?"
Jiang Xinxin nodded happily: "Okay!"
Jiang Tianzong pursed his lips, but ultimately resolutely led Jiang Xinxin onto the plane.
He will definitely find Master Li. This time... with Xinxin as a sacrifice, the Jiang family will surely be able to come back to life!
