Upon seeing the news, Jiang Sheng's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
What?
The company went bankrupt not because he was unlucky, but because he had offended someone.
And the person he offended was none other than President Ji of the Ji family?
Jiang Sheng racked his brains but still couldn't figure it out.
He had never met or interacted with Mr. Ji, the CEO of the Ji family.
The last time he visited the Ji family, Mr. Ji, who never received guests at home, still let him in to wait.
Doesn't this mean that President Ji values him highly?
If they value him, why would they want to ruin him for no reason and bankrupt him?
*
At this moment, at the Ji family residence.
Ji Yanli, Ji Xiuan, and Ji Qiyue were all sitting on the sofa in the living room, each with a solemn expression.
A man stood beside him, his expression serious and respectful.
"President Ji, I've almost finished investigating the past between Jiang Sheng and Madam Yixue."
Ji Yanli took a deep breath, mentally prepared himself, and said in a deep voice, "...Go ahead and say it."
More than a month ago, I found Niannian through a missing persons website and learned about Jiang Sheng's existence.
Ji Yanli then ordered people to investigate the past between Jiang Sheng and his aunt Ji Yixue.
Men are the ones who go to investigate.
It's an old story from eighteen years ago, so it's not easy to investigate. Even the top private investigators took more than a month to get results.
The man began, “President Ji, it’s like this. Back then, after Madam Yixue learned that she was ill, she changed her name to Li Ruyan and left Jiangcheng for Yao County, which is far away from Jiangcheng.”
"And she met Jiang Sheng in Yao County, married him, and became pregnant with Miss Niannian."
"However, not long after Madam Yixue became pregnant, Jiang Sheng left Yao County and came to Jiangcheng to start a business, citing the need to earn money to support the child."
"Madam Yixue gave him a lot of information about real estate and secretly asked friends to help him. In addition, he caught the wave of the real estate industry's rise that year, and Jiang Sheng's real estate company quickly made some progress."
"After getting money, Jiang Sheng started to change. He gradually lost patience with Madam Yixue and frequented brothels. Not long after, he met Chen Fulan, who then became pregnant. Jiang Sheng also changed the name of his company to Shenglan Real Estate."
Ji Qiyue's eyes widened on the spot: "—You mean, that bastard Jiang Sheng cheated on my aunt during her pregnancy?"
“Yes,” the man said, “Actually, Jiang Ranran is only three months younger than Miss Niannian, but Jiang Sheng, feeling guilty, used his connections to postpone the date on her ID card by eight months.”
Ji Xiuan was so angry he laughed, his eyes filled with icy coldness: "What a shameless thing."
He knows he's doing something shameful, right?
The man continued, "After becoming pregnant, Madam Yixue actually returned to Jiangcheng for a period of time and even worked as a caregiver at a nursing home in Jiangcheng for a while."
"It was around that time that Madam Yixue met the old man of the Song family. The old man of the Song family even arranged a marriage between Madam Yixue's unborn daughter, Miss Niannian, and his grandson, Song Wenjing."
"But Jiang Sheng had an affair and found a new lover, so he became increasingly impatient with Madam Yixue and often stayed out all night. So Madam Yixue was very heartbroken and went back to Yao County alone while heavily pregnant until she gave birth."
"But unfortunately, the lady fell ill during childbirth, so she passed away shortly after Miss Niannian was born."
"Jiang Sheng returned to Yao County after hearing the news, hastily arranged his wife's funeral, then summoned one of his cousins to Yao County and left."
"And so, Miss Niannian was left in Yao County, left to be cared for by that woman."
"But... according to what I've heard, that woman is somewhat insane. She used to beat and scold Miss Niannian whenever she was young, and Jiang Sheng never cared about Miss Niannian's life or death."
Upon hearing these words, the three men were initially shocked.
Then, one by one, they couldn't help but clench their fists, their eyes turning red.
Their aunt had been so hurt by a heartless scumbag.
Their younger sister was abused from a young age!
But after Niannian came back, she didn't mention any of these things to them at all.
They still thought that Niannian had simply grown up in the mountains.
I feel so bad.
All three of them were almost out of breath.
He then fell into deep self-blame.
If they had found Niannian sooner, or if they had found her aunt's whereabouts before she passed away, they wouldn't have suffered so much.
They dared not let their grandfather know about these things.
They were all deeply saddened to learn of what had happened. If Old Master Ji knew that his most beloved daughter and granddaughter had suffered such hardships, he would be heartbroken.
"Also, I found out some things about Miss Niannian, but I don't know if I should say it."
Ji Yanli, his voice hoarse, raised his reddened eyes: "What is it?"
The man said, "When Miss Niannian was seven years old, something happened and her cousin suddenly died. After that, Miss Niannian disappeared from Yao County."
"It wasn't until four months ago that Miss Niannian reappeared in Yao County and started attending Yao County High School. However, she was expelled a month later for fighting."
"Then, a little over a month ago, because Jiang Sheng wanted to marry Miss Niannian to the Si family to keep her marriage, Miss Niannian came to Jiangcheng. Later, she was taken back by the Ji family."
They know what happened after that.
But--
Ji Yanli was somewhat taken aback: "You mean, Niannian disappeared for ten years, and no one knows her whereabouts?"
The man shook his head: "Yes. Even I couldn't find a single trace."
