Chapter 321 Believe them, or believe me?
"Shen Yuan! Grandpa is unconscious. He was perfectly fine when we arrived. It's all because of... all because of Ran Xing. She's the one who turned Grandpa into this—"
In the dim light, Jiang Ranxing seemed to hear such accusations; it was Lin Xuesha crying and sobbing there.
Jiang Ranxing wanted to deny it, wanted to tell the whole story, and wanted to defend herself.
However, the severe physical pain, especially the mental pain in her head, was so intense that it immersed her in agony.
“Jiang girl, do you really not want to tell Shen Yuan about this? He should know.”
"No, Grandpa, I don't want to. What's the point of telling him? The result will be the same anyway; he doesn't love me."
"Not necessarily. Maybe things will change after he finds out. Do you really want to give up the chance to be happy?"
"I……"
Jiang Ranxing opened his eyes and found that he seemed to have returned to a certain day in the past, because in the current scene, in the garden of the Fu family's old mansion, Old Master Fu was still in good spirits and did not look like he was on his sickbed at all.
Even sitting next to her was her mentor, Zhou Yinxiu.
"Old Master Fu" asked the old butler, "Where is Shen Yuan now?"
The old butler replied, "Young Master Sun and Miss Lin are in the living room on the first floor with Young Master Xingyi."
Grandpa Fu nodded: "I understand. Jiang girl, would you like to come in and sit with me for a while?"
Jiang Ranxing shook his head: "I won't go in. My teacher and I will leave from here."
"Alright, I'll have someone see you off."
Jiang Ranxing watched as "they" were escorted out of the garden through the side gate by the old butler. Afterward, the old butler returned on his own, and "Old Master Fu" sighed.
"I respect Jiang's decision. I hope Shen Yuan can handle it after he learns the truth."
Jiang Ranxing was puzzled. What was the truth? Before coming to the Fu family's old house, Old Master Fu must have said something. Could this be the matter?
What past events between her and Fu Shenyuan remain unresolved?
Jiang Ranxing really wanted to ask "Grandpa Fu" in this scene, but she seemed like an illusory, invisible person who didn't belong here at all.
Jiang Ranxing realized that this might be something she had actually experienced, a memory.
Yes, she has amnesia, and perhaps this is part of that amnesia.
The scene in the garden was immediately shattered. Dark clouds gathered above Jiang Ranxing's head, and the sky became unbelievably dark. Within seconds, raindrops began to fall in a torrent, as if a curtain had been torn open to reveal a new scene.
It was a winding mountain road. Two cars had collided on the open ground beside the road. Not far from the cars was a cliff face several meters high, which was terrifying to look at.
The truck remained motionless. The door of the white sports car was pushed open from the inside. "Jiang Ranxing," covered in blood and barely alive, struggled to get out of the car, but due to exhaustion, he rolled onto the cold, rain-soaked ground.
Jiang Ranxing clutched his lower abdomen, unable to speak, looking extremely pained.
Jiang Ranxing, who was watching from the side, clearly saw blood flowing from "her" lower body. The bright red blood mixed with the cold rainwater, staining the entire ground as if it were a gruesome crime scene.
Jiang Ranxing immediately remembered what this was—the car accident that almost killed her.
The blood that kept flowing out was actually from her unborn child.
She finally remembered that she did indeed have a second child, but unfortunately, this child would never have the chance to see the world.
My lower abdomen also started to hurt terribly, as if the child was struggling to survive.
Jiang Ranxing felt the pain, and also felt the despair in his heart.
At the time of the car accident, she had completely lost faith in Fu Shenyuan and no longer wanted to have any lingering feelings for him.
Now, these memories, like threads, have returned to her mind.
Immediately, Jiang Ranxing opened her eyes. She was no longer immersed in those fantasies; she had returned to reality.
The doctor stood beside her: "You're awake. How are you feeling?"
"What...what's wrong with me?"
The doctor explained, "You previously suffered a head injury, but it's not a serious problem."
Jiang Ranxing turned her head and saw Lin Xuesha and Fu Shenyuan walking over from the bedside. Fu Shenyuan's expression was not good.
Just as Jiang Ranxing was about to say something, Lin Xuesha preemptively accused him, saying, "Shen Yuan, it was Ranxing who pushed Grandpa down the stairs! We all saw it with our own eyes!"
Lin Xuesha turned to Jiang Ranxing and said, "Ranxing, I didn't expect you to be so vicious. Grandpa's health is already very poor. Are you trying to make him die quickly? What are you up to?!"
Jiang Ranxing rubbed his head, feeling a sharp pain.
"Lin Xuesha, what nonsense are you spouting! You were the one who pushed us down, and you're sending this to slander me? What are you up to?"
Lin Xuesha feigned weakness and said, "I have no grudge against you, so why are you saying this to me? Ranxing, everyone in the old house can testify for me. What can you use to prove that what you're saying is true?"
Lin Xuesha raised her hand and beckoned over several servants from the "old house".
"Yes, I saw Miss Jiang and Master arguing with my own eyes. At first, it was fine, they were arguing in the study, but then I don't know how, it got more and more heated. In the end, Jiang Ranxing kept pestering Master, and when they got to the top of the stairs, she pushed him down!"
“I saw it too. Master has always treated Miss Jiang very well. I never expected her to do such a thing. I have never seen such a vicious woman. You must stand up for Master.”
"Yes, yes, I saw it too..."
"I also saw that it was Miss Jiang who pushed him, and she used quite a bit of force. She probably wanted to kill the master..."
The "servants" standing in a row spoke one after another, but none of them told the truth.
Such an overwhelming statement would leave anyone speechless.
Jiang Ranxing looked at the people in front of her who kept saying she was wrong. She looked at Fu Shenyuan expressionlessly, her fingers digging into the flesh of her palm, and blood quietly congealed.
"Fu Shenyuan, do you believe what they say, or do you believe what I say?" Jiang Ranxing asked.
Fu Shenyuan did not answer immediately, but asked, "I would like to hear your side of the story again. Could you tell me what happened again?"
Jiang Ranxing couldn't understand Fu Shenyuan's feelings, but she also couldn't let others slander her here.
So she said succinctly, "The people who were going to be Grandpa's opponents were Lin Xuesha and your second uncle. As for me, I was called over by Grandpa. Later, when I saw Grandpa being harmed, I wanted to save him."
Lin Xuesha sneered, "You said Grandpa had something to say to you? What did Grandpa say to you? At this time, with Grandpa in such poor health, what could he possibly need to say to you?"
Jiang Ranxing genuinely had no idea what her grandfather was going to say.
But by a twist of fate, she actually recovered from the misfortune and remembered some fragmented memories after hitting her head.
She then looked at Fu Shenyuan and slowly began to speak.
