Chapter 269 For You, I'm Willing
"The Fu family is the most prominent of the wealthy families in City A. They control almost all of the city's businesses and are definitely old-money tycoons. Next are the Wen, Ji, and You families, each occupying the top position in their respective industries. Then there is the Jiang family. This family is not involved in business, but in the early years, due to their special background and extremely large wealth, they were also among the wealthy families. However, the Jiang family's connections are really limited. The only one who is still alive and whose name is known is the Jiang family's grandson, Jiang Yan. It is said that he belongs to a certain confidential department in China, but no one knows the specifics. In short, they are a very mysterious and low-key wealthy family, and they usually act in a very low-key manner."
"Mia, how come you're so interested in and knowledgeable about these things?"
At the time, Jiang Ranxing was drinking soup and barely paid attention to what Mia was saying.
"Well, since I'm living here, I might as well get to know them. What if I meet some wealthy family someday? Maybe I can even make friends with one of these rich kids. It wouldn't be bad to be friends with a rich young lady or a rich young master."
"You should just finish your meal and go back to work on the design. That's the important thing."
Jiang Ranxing was just joking; he never imagined that Mia's words would come true one day.
As Jiang Ranxing's thoughts raced, he looked at Xu Qinghe through the burglarproof glass window, her expression becoming even more terrifying.
"What nonsense are you spouting! You were born from my belly, how can you not be my daughter! If you're not my daughter, whose daughter are you! I bet you're trying to distance yourself from us because Huanchen and I are in jail, but let me tell you, no way! We'll always be family, always!"
Xu Qinghe appeared to be insane at this moment, vehemently denying it, but her appearance had already betrayed the panic deep inside her.
Jiang Ranxing was immediately shocked, because she knew that what Grandpa Fu said might be right.
Jiang Ranxing put the phone receiver back to his ear and said calmly, "Over the years, you have never been good to me. I originally thought you just favored boys over girls and valued your younger brother more, and that I was not like your biological son at all. But I didn't expect that I really wasn't. In this light, everything makes sense."
Seeing the sudden change in the woman's expression, Jiang Ranxing became even more certain of his thoughts.
It really was such a coincidence.
"What nonsense are you talking about! You are my daughter, you are Huanchen's older sister!" Xu Qinghe continued to argue stubbornly.
"Really?" Jiang Ranxing asked unhurriedly, "How about I take your biological sample to do a paternity test?"
Xu Qinghe immediately fell silent, slumping into a chair as if utterly despondent. The female prison guard, startled by the loud scraping of the chair against the floor, pushed open the door and asked, "What happened?!"
Jiang Ranxing waved his hand, and the female prison guard nodded: "Be mindful of the time, let's continue talking."
Jiang Ranxing then gestured for Xu Qinghe to pick up the microphone and asked her, "Why did you do this? Even if I'm not your biological daughter, it's still just a blood relationship. I treat you like family. I've served you since I was a child. Don't you have any heart at all?"
At that moment, Jiang Ranxing still felt a little reluctant; after all, this was her mother in name only.
She didn't even question what happened back then; she could sense that the truth might be extremely unpleasant.
She wanted to preserve some beautiful memories of her mother.
However, Xu Qinghe's words completely shattered any beautiful memories she had.
"You know everything, you know everything, but you still couldn't hide it from me. Now that you know, what am I going to do? What will happen to my Huanchen without you? We're broke, completely broke. Who will raise my son..."
Jiang Ranxing's gaze also turned cold and stiff.
In the end, she said nothing to this "mother," hung up the phone, and walked out of the visiting room without looking back.
Jiang Ranxing stood at the door for a long time, exhaling a hot breath. If you looked closely, you could see that her hands were trembling slightly.
By the time Jiang Ranxing recovered and walked towards the prison gate again, she had calmed down.
It's all fake, which is for the best. At least I won't feel sad when I think about my family.
When they walked out the gate, the car was still standing there, seemingly unmoved. Fu Shenyuan was still leaning against the car, head down, a cigarette dangling from his lips, looking forlorn and aloof.
Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw Jiang Ranxing come out. He casually threw away his cigarette, stubbed it out with the toe of his shoe, and stood up straight to wait for Jiang Ranxing to come over.
"You've met your mother and brother? You don't seem too happy," Fu Shenyuan said.
“Okay,” Jiang Ranxing replied, “I’m tired, let’s go.”
Fu Shenyuan went around to open the car door for Jiang Ranxing, and made sure she fastened her seatbelt before going back around.
Where do you want to go now?
Jiang Ranxing thought for a moment and said, "Take me back to my studio."
Without saying a word, Fu Shenyuan stepped on the gas and drove away with Jiang Ranxing.
On the way, Jiang Ranxing thought about how the Jiang family, being a wealthy and powerful family, would probably have a hard time contacting Jiang Yan on her own.
If, as Mia says, Jiang Yan's identity is indeed special and he keeps a very low profile, then ordinary people wouldn't be able to contact him. Therefore, the only explanation is...
Jiang Ranxing turned to look at Fu Shenyuan's profile.
"Fu Shenyuan, can you do me a favor?" she asked calmly.
Fu Shenyuan was focused on the cars ahead, paying no attention to her. He simply said decisively, "Tell me, I'll do anything I can."
"Please contact Jiang Yan from the Jiang family for me. I'd like to meet him."
"Okay, I'll have someone arrange it."
Fu Shenyuan answered decisively without the slightest hesitation, while Jiang Ranxing was stunned for a moment: "You agreed without even asking me what I'm going to do?"
Fu Shenyuan smiled and said, "I said I'm willing to do anything for you, as long as it's within my power."
