Chapter 268 True Identity
After changing into a special medical isolation suit, Jiang Ranxing walked into this unique intensive care unit, which was filled with all kinds of money.
She walked to the bedside and looked at the usually energetic Mr. Fu lying on the hospital bed with various medical instruments attached to his body. He was motionless, as if he had no life, and only the faint rise and fall of his chest proved that he was still alive.
"Chairman Fu," Jiang Ranxing said softly, "you wanted to see me."
It seemed that it took Old Master Fu a long time to recognize who was speaking in his ear after hearing the voice. He slowly opened his eyes, and it took a while for him to regain a sliver of clarity.
"Jiang girl, is that you...?"
When Grandpa Fu spoke, his voice was hoarse, and he spoke with great difficulty.
"It's me." Jiang Ranxing moved closer, so that Old Master Fu wouldn't have to exert so much effort.
Grandpa Fu closed his eyes again, and after a while, he opened them again.
Jiang Ranxing took the initiative to say, "Chairman, is there something you want to say to me? I'm here."
Jiang Ranxing naturally had no idea what he was going to say. She guessed that it was probably some kind of instruction, but she never expected that what Old Master Fu said after he opened his mouth would shock her.
After she walked out of the intensive care unit, Fu Shenyuan was waiting for her at the door and noticed that she didn't look well.
"Burning Star, Burning Star?"
Fu Shenyuan called her name twice before Jiang Ranxing snapped out of her daze and stiffly turned to look at Fu Shenyuan's face.
"What's wrong? Did Grandpa say something to you?" Fu Shenyuan frowned, very worried about Jiang Ranxing's condition.
"It's nothing..." Jiang Ranxing blinked quickly and looked away. "I have something to do, I have to go now."
Watching Jiang Ranxing leave quickly, Fu Shenyuan frowned even more. After saying goodbye to Fu Yuqin, he followed Jiang Ranxing and finally stopped her in the hospital parking lot.
Fu Shenyuan held her arm, his furrowed brows still furrowed.
"Burning Star! What's wrong with you? Are you hiding something from me? What did Grandpa say to you?"
Jiang Ranxing continued to shake his head, refusing to say anything.
“It’s none of your business, you don’t need to know.” Jiang Ranxing resisted Fu Shenyuan’s approach.
"What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? Your business is my business," Fu Shenyuan said helplessly, "Ranxing, please tell me what Grandpa said. I'm really worried about you."
Fu Shenyuan's words were absolutely true. Ever since Jiang Ranxing was kidnapped and extorted, he had been on edge, fearing that something else might happen to Jiang Ranxing.
But Jiang Ranxing insisted on not telling, leaving Fu Shenyuan with no way to do anything about it.
Fu Shenyuan paced around like a trapped beast for a few moments before finally saying, "If you don't want to tell me, that's fine. Where do you want to go? I'll drive you there. It's not safe for you to drive in this state."
"No need, I can do it myself." Jiang Ranxing still refused, but her eyes clearly showed that she was lost in thought and not concentrating.
Driving in this state would almost certainly lead to an accident due to distraction, and Fu Shenyuan couldn't let her take that risk.
"What are you doing! Fu Shenyuan!"
Before Jiang Ranxing could react, Fu Shenyuan pulled her into the passenger seat, fastened the seatbelt, and before she could move, Fu Shenyuan quickly got into the driver's seat, fastened the seatbelt, and locked all the doors.
"I can take you wherever you want to go, but you can't drive in this condition, I'm worried about you."
Fu Shenyuan turned his head and calmly asked Jiang Ranxing, whose face was filled with anger, "Where do you want to go?"
“A City Suburban Prison”.
Fu Shenyuan looked at Jiang Ranxing in disbelief: "Why do you suddenly want to go see them?"
Jiang Ranxing still didn't explain the reason: "Weren't you going to be my driver? Drivers shouldn't ask so many questions, otherwise you can get out of the car."
Fu Shenyuan lowered his head and smiled slightly, then stepped on the accelerator, causing the steering wheel to slip and the car to leave the spot like a swimming fish.
On the way, Fu Shenyuan kept observing Jiang Ranxing's expression, trying to figure out what had happened from her face.
But this is clearly not something that can be observed simply by looking at it.
Jiang Ranxing didn't utter a single word until they arrived at the suburban prison.
Fu Shenyuan got out of the car with her, but was stopped by Jiang Ranxing on the spot.
"You probably have no reason to see them. I'll go in myself. You wait outside."
Fu Shenyuan leaned against the car door, one hand resting on the side of the car, and nodded.
After completing the visitation procedures, Jiang Ranxing was led into the visiting room by the prison guards. Jiang Ranxing sat on the chair by the door, waiting for the steel door to open.
About ten minutes later, the steel door creaked open, and Jiang Ranxing saw a woman in prison garb slowly and impatiently walk into the other side of the closed visiting room, muttering, "Who is it that deliberately came to see me? Are they trying to make a scene? I, Xu Qinghe, am not someone to be trifled with! Can't I just not see them? I don't remember any of my relatives saying they wanted to see me!"
The female prison guard scolded her: "Stop talking nonsense and sit down properly after you go in."
The steel door was locked again. Xu Qinghe spat fiercely at the door before slowly turning around to see who had come to visit her. Her face immediately darkened when she saw who it was.
"Jiang Ranxing!"
Upon seeing her, Xu Qinghe immediately gave her a look as if she had seen an enemy. After sitting down, she picked up her cell phone and continued to glare at her fiercely.
"Jiang Ranxing! You unfilial wretch! How dare you show your face in front of me? You should be dead! Why didn't that car accident kill you?!"
A muffled curse came through the microphone. Jiang Ranxing chuckled quickly before slowly raising the microphone to his ear. Xu Qinghe's voice became clear.
"Jiang Ranxing! Why aren't you saying anything? Are you in the wrong? Heh, yes, you should be ashamed and embarrassed to see me! If you hadn't stood by and watched your brother die, he wouldn't be in jail! Do you know how much your brother's imprisonment will affect his future? He can forget about getting a government job or any other position. You've really ruined your brother's life, you know that! I'm telling you, you have to give your brother a huge sum of money, at least tens of millions—"
“I am not your daughter.”
Xu Qinghe was speaking with great enthusiasm when she saw Jiang Ranxing across from her say something short yet solemn with a calm expression.
Xu Qinghe's eyes darted around, blinked a few times quickly, and then looked at her again.
"What nonsense are you spouting! What, you think you can distance yourself from us now that your mother and brother are in jail? Let me tell you, that's impossible. You'll always be a member of the Jiang family! There's absolutely no way you can ignore Huanchen and me, let me tell you!"
Compared to Xu Qinghe's frenzied behavior, Jiang Ranxing was remarkably calm.
She spoke again, calmly and firmly stating, "I'm not your daughter, am I?"
Jiang Ranxing realized the ambiguity of her words, and then scoffed lightly: "That's not quite right either. I am your daughter in the legal sense now, but—"
Jiang Ranxing recalled what Grandpa Fu had said in the hospital's intensive care unit earlier.
Grandpa Fu seemed to be struggling to speak: "Child, there's something I feel I have to tell you. I'm afraid, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to tell you later, and then, then no one will know about this..."
Grandpa Fu stared at her: "Your surname is Jiang, but you're not the daughter of the poor Jiang family in the countryside..."
"Your surname is Jiang, which belongs to the Jiang family, a wealthy and powerful family in City A."
