Chapter 53 Chapter 53 The scenery outside the window changes from winter to spring...
Jiang Xiaoci registered Jun Bufeng, thinking that Ji Qinglan asked Jun Bufeng's classmates to light incense and let Sister Jun dream, so there should be a next plan.
Ji Qinglan and He Zongxu had a deal, and He Zongxu married his cousin, most likely because he was attracted by the fact that his cousin was the only daughter of Xue Hongdong. The purpose was money, so that He Zongxu could get the money and Ji Qinglan could get her share. Why did she go to such lengths to find Jun Bufeng?
Jiang Xiaoci thought something was wrong, so she ran to find her aunt, told her her suspicions, and showed her the sketch drawn by Jun Bufeng.
Zhang Rumei recognized him at once: "This is Xue Hongdong when he was young. What a sin! Jun Bufeng is so similar to him and he can't forget about her. He must be the descendant of his first wife. But didn't she die? How can there be a descendant? Is there something wrong here? Bring the girl here quickly. I will talk to her. Don't do anything sinful."
Jiang Xiaoci nodded repeatedly and ran to the school to find Jun Bufeng, but Jun Bufeng was not there and had not asked for leave. Jiang Xiaoci had to ask Cheng Yanshu for help.
Cheng Yanshu asked around and came back, "I asked around, Jun Bufeng left with someone, and from what he described, it sounded like Ji Qinglan took her away."
That means going to Hai City. Jiang Xiaoci asked her aunt what to do: "Do you still care?"
My aunt sighed, "Wenyu said that Xue Hongdong is critically ill. When a person dies, his debts are forgiven. The sins of the previous generation cannot be passed on to the next generation. I'm going to go there."
Jiang Xiaoci was worried and wanted to go with her aunt. She called Han Jingyuan, entrusted the baby to Sister Meiping, and went to Hai City with her aunt.
…
In Hai City, Ji Qinglan brought Jun Bufeng over, and Feng Wenyu blocked the door of the ward and refused to let him in.
"Ji Qinglan, you said she was my father's granddaughter, is she? You have been looking for girls with similar looks to pretend to be my father's descendants, and you have been exposed. Why are you still doing this?"
Jun Bufeng was stunned. She finally found the young man in her dream, but he was already decayed and almost dead. She never thought that the young girl in her dream might be her grandma and grandpa when they were young. Was it a memory in her genes?
Ji Qinglan was proud and crazy. She found the offspring of Xue Hongdong's favorite woman, and Xue Hongdong would give at least half of his property to Jun Bufeng.
She has been so kind to Jun Bufeng that she can manage her shares on his behalf, and He Zongxu will be under her control.
Doesn’t He Zongxu know how to calculate? Could he have guessed her plan? She originally just wanted to find a similar girl to please the old man, but she accidentally found the old man’s granddaughter. God really helped her.
This is the child of the original wife. Feng Wenyu is at most the child of the concubine. In the old man's heart, she cannot be as important as his granddaughter.
Ji Qinglan said, "It's only been a few years since her grandmother passed away. I've shown her all the photos, when her grandmother was young. I've also seen photos of her father, but he looks more like Mr. Xue than you do. Mr. Xue's lover didn't die, and she was pregnant when she ran away. Feng Wenyu, you can't stop Bu Feng from seeing his real grandfather, right?"
Don’t you know that after anger, there is peace.
She first questioned Ji Qinglan: "Did you give the incense that my roommate lit?"
This kind of thing cannot be hidden, and you have to be honest. Ji Qinglan said earnestly: "I gave it to you. It is more valuable than gold. I use it a little bit less, it's all for your own good."
Jun Bufeng laughed: "You and I are not related, what's good about that? I hate being framed. Also, if you have a bit of brains, you should know that my grandparents named my dad Jun Buyu and me Jun Bufeng. Don't you understand the meaning of my name and my dad's? Buyu, Bufeng, my grandma won't see him, and doesn't want us to see him. You actually took the initiative to frame me for your own benefit. I won't enter this door."
Ji Qinglan didn't expect that he would be rejected at the last minute. He couldn't believe it: "Do you know how much wealth your grandfather has?"
She pointed at Feng Wenyu and said, "She was born to the concubine. Are you willing to let her take away all your grandfather's property?"
Jun Bufeng shook his head: "My grandmother avoided him all her life and hated him all her life. If I go to see him and let him get the final comfort, my grandmother will die with regrets. The money you mentioned can make you happy, but I don't lack money now, and my future is bright. Why do I need his money? You want it, you fight for it."
…
Jiang Xiaoci and her aunt rushed over, but they didn't expect that Jun Bufeng had thought it through on his own and did not meet Xue Hongdong or participate in the fight for property.
Zhang Rumei told Jun Bufeng that Xue Hongdong had abandoned his lover in order to save her life.
Jun Bufeng deduced the whole story based on the fragments he heard as a child.
She said: "I heard from my dad that grandma was saved by grandpa. Grandma was grateful and married grandpa. They lived in love all their lives. When I was very young, grandma told me how she and grandpa met. She said that grandpa endured humiliation and endured hardships in a bandit's den in order to seek revenge. He happened to save her life. He was afraid of being hunted down, so he changed his name and moved to another place to live."
Jiang Xiaoci admires her cousin Wen Yu so much. It would be great if she could have this awareness. By letting go of some things, one could gain something else. Jun Bufeng was so open-minded. Although he lost his windfall after refusing the offer, he could face his future life calmly.
After Jun Bufeng figured this out, he remembered that he hadn't asked for leave yet, and said anxiously, "I have to make a phone call back to school."
Jiang Xiaoci smiled and said, "Call Cheng Yanshu. He has found an excuse to ask your roommate to ask for leave for you. Don't worry, just buy a ticket and go back at a normal time."
Jun Bufeng was very grateful to Jiang Xiaoci for bringing her aunt over to help her solve her doubts: "When are you going back?"
Now that I'm here, I must go see my cousin Wen Yu.
Jiang Xiaoci said, "My elder brother, sister-in-law, and cousin are all here. They will stay for two days before going back."
Zhang Rumei didn't want to stay here, so she asked Jiang Xiaoci, "Xiaoci, please persuade Wenyu. I will leave now and go back with Bufeng."
My aunt couldn't understand my cousin's behavior of recognizing her father, and she didn't even want to see him. Jiang Xiaoci didn't force her and asked, "Then if my cousin asks, should I tell her that you've been here?"
Zhang Rumei said: "I didn't come here for her, just tell the truth."
…
Jiang Xiaoci didn't find anyone at her cousin's restaurant in Hai City, but she saw He Zongxu. There was a red string connecting her cousin and him, so Jiang Xiaoci followed him and walked to a teahouse. He Zongxu didn't go in, but the red string was inside. Jiang Xiaoci went in and was soon pulled into a private room by her cousin.
Jiang Xiaoci was surprised: "Cousin, you sneaked in without anyone, what are you doing here?"
Feng Wenyu quietly hushed, and said with great amusement: "Ji Qinglan asked me to come here, and said that if I am willing to come, she will let me know who Jiuxiang's biological parents are, so that I can see what she is up to."
Jiang Xiaoci: ...The parents of Jiuxiang's younger sister He Xiaotang are Ji Qinglan and He Zongxu. How can your cousin bear to hear that?
"Cousin, Ji Qinglan is a psychopath. Why are you accompanying her in her madness? Let's go, shall we?"
How could Feng Wenyu not know? But people are just so curious. She always felt that Ji Qinglan had something on He Zongxu, otherwise, based on his personality, he would never tolerate Ji Qinglan.
"Xiaoci, just stay with your cousin and wait. I'm a little nervous if I'm alone."
Jiang Xiaoci is decisive and resolute in her own affairs, but she cannot make decisions for others. Since her cousin wants to know the truth, she will accompany her cousin.
In the other room next door, Feng Jiuxiang was also there. She had waited for two lifetimes to find out who her biological parents were and how Ji Qinglan was going to harm her adoptive mother.
…
Ji Qinglan invited He Zongxu to a private room in the teahouse. The partition wall made of wooden boards was not soundproof at all.
Ji Qinglan was defeated in the battle for inheritance, but she still had a trump card.
How could He Zongxu not know Ji Qinglan’s plan? Now he got what he wanted. It would be better to let Ji Qinglan, the hidden danger, explode on her own. In fact, Ji Qinglan is still useful. Without the incense she found for the old man, Xue Hongdong could live at least another ten years.
Ji Qinglan wanted to make Feng Wenyu's life difficult, and the first thing he brought up was the child's background.
"You have got everything you wanted now. When will you divorce Feng Wenyu and return my child to me?"
He Zongxu yelled angrily: "You psychopath, why do we have a happy family of four and want to get divorced?"
Ji Qinglan shouted, "Because the child is mine, it belongs to both of us!"
He Zongxu said with disgust: "The agreement is to let you join the company, but don't interfere with my family. Aren't there enough crazy things you have done? Who would believe what you say? Don't force me to leave you with nothing in the end!"
What Ji Qinglan wanted was for Feng Wenyu to know that now that He Zongxu hadn’t denied it, Feng Wenyu would definitely divorce him, and He Zongxu would still not get the result he wanted!
…
The two people next door quarreled for a short time and then left. Jiang Xiaoci looked at her cousin kneeling on the carpet, crying silently, in such pain that she could only accompany her in her sadness.
After letting my cousin cry for a while, Jiang Xiaoci said, "Cousin, you heard it. He Zongxu was lying to you. Why didn't you go out and confront him in person? Are you still going to endure it?"
Feng Wenyu suppressed her tears and shed them silently before she said, "Xiaoci, I really can't let my family of four break up."
Jiang Xiaoci didn't understand: "But Ji Qinglan is crazy. If she joins the company, she will definitely push her limits. She may even contact her biological daughter secretly. You are responsible for the child, so you will definitely discipline her strictly. She will obey you just to please her daughter. How can a child know who is sincere and who is fake? If the child you raised gets along with her and hates you, can you bear it?"
Feng Wenyu was firm: "I can bear it. You heard it too. Your brother-in-law hates her. As long as our family is united, I can bear it. Now that I know her true colors, I will never let her succeed."
Jiang Xiaoyu felt sorry for her, but couldn't understand: "Cousin, why are you doing this? You have money and ability, can't you live a good life?"
Feng Wenyu shook her head: "Does having money mean you can live a happy life? Ji Qinglan is rich, right? Is she happy? Xiaoci, you don't understand at all. I got married because I was determined to have a falling out with my mom and grandpa. This family is everything to me, and I will never let Ji Qinglan destroy my family."
"As long as this ship can still sail, I can survive. Really, the sunk costs are a blow to me that you can't imagine. Just leave me alone."
Jiang Xiaoci didn't want to care about her anymore: "I still don't understand you, but since you asked me to pretend I didn't hear you, then I'll pretend I haven't been here today."
Jiang Xiaoyu left, and after a while, Feng Wenyu left the box as if nothing had happened.
Feng Jiuxiang came out after a long while. If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she would never have believed that Ji Qinglan was her biological mother.
God played such a big joke on her. The woman she hated in her previous life and was wary of in this life was her own mother.
Ji Qinglan almost ruined her in her previous life. In this life, she couldn't let Ji Qinglan ruin her sister.
…
Not long after returning, Feng Wenyu came back to Beijing and chatted with Jiang Xiaoci as if nothing had happened: "What your brother-in-law and I mean is to give half of my father's savings and collections to Jun Bufeng. Your brother-in-law is good at persuading people. If she accepts it, we will have a clear conscience and can live our lives in peace."
Jiang Xiaoci pretended to have amnesia and didn't remember what happened that day.
Jun Bufeng changed her dormitory and no longer lived with her previous roommate. She came to Jiang Xiaoci and told her that she had donated the money her cousin gave her, and kept all the things related to her grandmother as a commemoration.
Jiang Xiaoci was very happy to see that she and Cheng Yanshu were in love, and said to Han Jingyuan: "Cheng Yanshu has also settled down, are you relieved now?"
Han Jingyuan said: "Didn't he say that he wouldn't consider relationships within ten years?"
Jiang Xiaoci said: "Once the emotions come, no one can control them."
In October, my eldest brother and sister Xueying got married. Since they were both busy with work, they chose to hold the wedding in Hai City and invited relatives, friends and colleagues.
All the family members went to attend their wedding, and the second brother also came back. While everyone was together, Jiang Xiaoci held a one-year-old party for the baby in advance. All the relatives attended the eldest brother's wedding and came to Beijing to celebrate the baby's first birthday.
During the one-year-old celebration, Han Jiang insisted on snatching the doll from An An's hand.
This rag doll was given to An An by Jiang Xiaoci when An An was one year old. An An liked this life-size rag doll so much that she refused to give it to him.
Although Han Jiang is a year younger, he is very strong. He grabbed the rag doll in An An's hand and tried to snatch it away, making An An cry out of grievance.
The crying sound attracted Jiang Xiaoci over. She had just gone upstairs to look for something. A while later, Xiao Han Jiang started bullying people again.
Seeing Jiang Xiaoci's aggressive look, Qian Meiping hurriedly stopped her.
Qian Meiping is Han Jiang's godmother. She loves Han Jiang as if she were her own daughter. She coaxes the older one to give way to the younger one and asks An An to give the doll to Han Jiang.
Jiang Xiaoci firmly refused to allow it and criticized the doting adults: "What does this have to do with age? What belongs to An An is An An's. It's her most precious thing. Why do you want her to give it to Han Jiang?"
Qian Meiping hurriedly made an excuse: "Today is Han Jiang's first birthday. She is the oldest. She had her eye on this doll during her birthday celebration, so let her play with it for a while."
Jiang Xiaoci was not going to spoil her: "How can a child be so overbearing at just one year old? You better stop spoiling her."
She pulled the doll back from Han Jiang's hands and gave it back to An An.
Han Jiang was furious. This child had never liked to cry since she was young. When she was born, the nurse patted her butt until it was swollen, and she only cried twice. Now she was so angry that she was babbling but no tears came out. She turned around and went to find her father who loved her the most.
Han Jingyuan hugged her up, feeling very distressed, but he didn't dare to make Jiang Xiaoci angry, and he really shouldn't steal other people's things.
Qian Meiping also helped to speak up: "Our Han Jiang has never been like this. It must be because he likes this rag doll too much. Xiaoci, you are not allowed to be mean to the child anymore."
Jiang Xiaoci's parents, grandparents, older brother and sister-in-law all helped to persuade her not to get angry with a little kid.
Only the second brother stood on Jiang Xiaoci's side.
Jiang Yunyi: "Xiao Ci is taking care of the child. If you protect her like this, won't she become spoiled? Let her take charge of her own child."
Jiang Yunzhong: "Han Jiang is your niece, do you still want her to call you uncle in the future?"
Jiang Yunyi said: "You all help Xiao Han Jiang, but I love my sister. She ranks higher in my heart."
Jiang Xiaoci said: "Second brother is still the best."
Zhou Qingzhu smiled: "I also stand on Xiaoci's side. I think it's better for her to take care of the child."
Han Jiang was very stubborn. She didn't want the doll or anything else during the "Zhuazhou" ceremony.
Come on, Jiang Xiaoci announced the end of the one-year-old ceremony, and the baby was so angry that he ignored his mother.
Han Jingyuan coaxed Han Jiang: "Baby, we can't snatch what we want. Dad will buy you a bigger doll later."
Han Jiang seemed to understand what was said, but she was still very angry. She stuck her butt up high and buried her head in Han Jingyuan's shoulder. She ignored Jiang Xiaoci for a long time.
Jiang Xiaoci would never spoil a child. Her mother said that Han Jiang was very popular with adults when she was a child. Her stubborn temper needs to be tempered, otherwise outsiders will not spoil her when she grows up and she will suffer.
…
After the one-year-old celebration, everyone went back to work.
Jiang Xiaoci wanted to talk to her second brother, and found that he was whispering to his cousin in the backyard.
Jiang Xiaoci would not listen to her second brother's words, she ran over and asked, "Second brother, cousin, what are you two doing here?"
Zhou Qingzhu's face was already red, and it became even redder when Jiang Xiaoci asked her this question.
Jiang Yunyi said openly, "I asked your cousin what she thought of me. Although we haven't met many times, I admire her very much. Now that we are old enough, I asked her if she wanted to get along with me. Your cousin said she needed to think about it."
Jiang Xiaoci said "Oh" and encouraged with a smile: "Then try your best, second brother. My cousin is so nice. Don't be sad if you are rejected."
Jiang Yunyi smiled: "Well, I'm going back now. I'll ask your cousin next time I come back."
After coming out, he asked Jiang Xiaoci: "Is there any red thread between me and Zhou Qingzhu?"
Jiang Xiaoci asked him, "If you like someone one-sidedly, there is a red line. If you don't like someone, there is no red line. If you like your cousin, then there must be a red line."
Jiang Yunyi: "You're asking even though you already know the answer. What I mean is, what does your cousin think of me?"
Jiang Xiaoci had seen it a long time ago, and laughed, telling her second brother not to worry: "Cousin Qingzhu likes you too, you should go back and talk to her again."
The second brother turned around and talked to Zhou Qingzhu for a while, asking Jiang Xiaoci to keep it a secret for the time being and not tell anyone at home.
He said, "I have talked to Zhou Qingzhu. We both want to wait a little longer and live an undisturbed life for two years."
Jiang Xiaoci believed that her second brother and cousin would not change their hearts, so she was relieved: "Just make your own decisions, but what about Song Zhaoan? If you have already made up your mind, you must make it clear to him."
Jiang Yunyi said: "If you want to make it clear, you stay with my second brother, I will go and talk to him."
Jiang Xiaoci and her second brother found Song Zhaoan together and explained things to him.
Jiang Xiaoci said: "My second brother and cousin have already talked about it. They like each other, but they want to live a relatively free life for a while, so they won't make it public for the time being, not even telling my family. I hope you won't talk about whether to cancel the engagement or not, and you can live your own life."
Song Zhaoan nodded: "I have said it before, as long as Zhou Qingzhu has someone she likes, I will never pester her, but I have my own plans for my own feelings. If I don't look for someone, it's not for anyone."
Jiang Xiaoci knew that he had not yet let go of his sister-in-law, so she said, "I know, just don't come and disturb my cousin."
Now that it was all said and done, Song Zhaoan heaved a sigh of relief and praised sincerely, "Your cousin is indeed a completely different person this year."
Jiang Xiaoci: "Of course, my cousin deserves better, and my second brother is the better one."
Song Zhaoan joked: "Then is your second brother better than Han Jingyuan?"
Jiang Xiaoci said: "You don't need to stir up trouble. I didn't say you're bad. Just live your life well."
…
After returning, Qian Meiping was waiting at the door, holding An An, who had red medicine applied on her forehead.
Jiang Xiaoci was shocked to see An An injured, and ran over to ask, "What happened?"
Qian Meiping felt distressed and angry, and said to Jiang Xiaoci:
"An An tripped over the doll and hit her head. You see, I said Han Jiang would not steal her sister's things for no reason. She was trying to save her sister from trouble, but you stopped her. You even wrongly accused our Han Jiang of stealing things. Do you want to apologize to the child?"
Jiang Xiaoci looked at Han Jiang who was aggrieved in Han Jingyuan's arms and apologized immediately: "It turns out that our Han Jiang was protecting her sister. Mom was wrong and shouldn't be mean to you. It's Mom's fault. Mom didn't know you were so powerful. Then forgive Mom and we can be together, okay?"
Little Han Jiang seemed to be able to feel the adults' emotions, and she really loved her mother so much that she threw herself into Jiang Xiaoci's arms, arched her mother's face, and hugged Jiang Xiaoci's neck tightly, being extremely intimate.
At night, the family of three played on the mat. Jiang Xiaoci was thinking about the "Zhuazhou" event and asked Han Jingyuan, "Brother Han, do you think Han Jiang really has a special talent for avoiding disasters?"
Han Jingyuan didn't know: "Based on what happened today, it seems so, but it could also be a coincidence. Let's wait and see."
Little Han Jiang held up the toy she wanted and smiled at her parents, looking so innocent. I really hope that she will be happy and carefree every day in the future.
The scenery outside the window has changed from winter to spring for fifteen times. Han Jiang is already sixteen years old. She is very smart and has skipped grades twice. She is now in her third year of high school.
But her temper is neither like Jiang Xiaoci nor Han Jingyuan. She is extremely irritable and reckless. Jiang Xiaoci's parents are called to the call every few days, from elementary school to junior high school, and from junior high school to high school.
Today the head teacher called again and asked her to go to school quickly.
Jiang Xiaoci didn't dare to delay. She didn't know what Han Jiang had done at school, so she hung up the phone and was about to go out.
