Chapter 180 I Lost to Her After All
Then, he almost subconsciously exclaimed: "It's the Xiao family! They must be from the Xiao family!"
Hearing this, Ruan Chenshuang's already surprised mood became even more suspicious.
She couldn't help but ask, "Which family are you talking about? The Xiao family? Which Xiao family?"
Recalling her past life, she realized that ever since Xiao Zhiyu's death, her life had fallen into hardship and she had been struggling.
In the days that followed, he could only struggle at the bottom of society and had no chance to go to the capital again.
So we actually know very little about this strange place and everything in it.
Jiang Jiashu next to him had never even heard of this name.
A young man who has lived in the countryside of Shenzhen since childhood.
Not to mention that he had no idea about the capital, he had never even heard of the words "Xiao family".
After listening to this, Wei Chengjun did not answer the question directly.
Instead, he took a deep breath and continued explaining in a low voice.
"In this area, in the capital, the Xiao family is a very powerful family. It is said that the old man was once a retired captain and had a great reputation in the army. Even now, his son Xiao Zhenwu still holds an important position."
Faced with such complicated background and title information.
Ruan Chenshuang, who was not very literate and had no exposure to upper-class affairs, was completely confused by what she heard.
She sneered indifferently.
"Humph, what's so great about this? Can they be stronger than our Jiang family?"
Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Han Zhihui, who was standing next to her, felt dissatisfied.
"How can someone like this be worthy of becoming the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family? It's simply speechless."
Although he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart.
But they also clearly knew that if such a person was ignorant and brought shame to the entire Jiang family, the consequences would be even more serious.
He gritted his teeth and patiently continued to enlighten her: "To be honest... the Jiang family really can't be compared with the Xiao family."
When he said this, a complicated expression appeared on his face.
After all, with his current identity and status, he can take the initiative to say this.
In fact, it was not easy for him.
Because he has always put the interests of the Chiang family first, deep down he is unwilling to belittle the Chiang family even a little bit.
But right now, this is a fact that has to be said.
He paused slightly, as if to calm himself down, and added, his voice lower but extraordinarily heavy.
"And... I think that Doctor Xu's husband should be Xiao Zhenwu's son."
After hearing this, Ruan Chenshuang's expression changed instantly.
His originally rosy face quickly turned as pale as paper.
Her slender fingers unconsciously clenched their palms.
Her voice trembled slightly when she spoke, and she denied it almost as if it were an instinctive reaction.
"What are you talking about? How is this possible? How could Xiao Zhiyu be his son?"
She had an expression of disbelief.
They were clearly once husband and wife and had lived together for so many years, but they had never heard of such news.
How could Wei Chengjun know it so clearly?
Wei Chengjun's eyes were solemn, and he responded in a decisive tone: "That car, that license plate, is definitely Xiao Zhenwu's private car. There's no way I'm wrong about that!"
Ruan Chenshuang's lips trembled and her eyes were full of shock.
But, if...
What if what he said was true?
Then what does it mean for her to have planned the marriage exchange plan carefully over the years, even betraying her original relatives?
She continued to argue unwillingly.
"Could it be that you made a mistake? Or maybe it just happened to be the same model of car? Who knows..."
She still wanted to make one last effort.
Wei Chengjun glanced at her indifferently, with a hint of indifference in his eyes.
"Coincidence? I've been working hard in the capital for so many years. If I didn't have this basic judgment, how would I have gotten to where I am today?"
He paused, his tone becoming more certain.
"The license plate of Xiao Zhenwu's car has a special coding format. This car can't be imitated by anyone, and it's even more impossible for others to use it at will. How could I be wrong?"
These words pierced Ruan Chenshuang's eardrum like a needle, and penetrated the last layer of self-deception barrier deep in her heart.
She bit her lips tightly, her expression becoming increasingly ugly, with only one thought coming to her mind.
Is it possible that this time, she will lose to Ruan Chuxia after all?
How could she accept such an outcome?
No, she would never give up!
No matter what, Jiang Jiashu is still the heir of the Jiang family.
In the future, he will be the one who owns the largest family business in the country.
Even though the Jiang family is not as good as the Xiao family now, they will catch up one day.
This is the chip she is betting everything on, and it is also the future she will never let go of.
Memories flashed back to the past as if uncontrollably.
She returned to that familiar old era again, and the scenes deep in her mind emerged before her eyes.
On both sides of the narrow but neat asphalt road are low brick-red houses.
There was a constant stream of people riding 28-inch bicycles on the road.
Those scenes came to her mind.
Peng Chengxuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, took advantage of the car's steady driving to secretly glance at Ruan Chuxia in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
He originally thought that the woman from the country would be surprised by the scene before her.
After all, the streets outside are full of bicycles.
This scene is enough to make newcomers drop their jaws.
Of course, he had no prejudice against people from the country.
But years of experience have taught him one thing.
When ordinary people see such a large traffic flow for the first time, they will most likely be scared and their eyes will pop out.
But as he was driving in the car, he kept glancing back, but he didn't catch even a trace of shock.
She just sat there calmly, her eyes calm.
Just as he was concentrating on secretly looking at her, he suddenly looked up and met Ruan Chuxia's gaze.
Then, Ruan Chuxia actually smiled at him.
At that moment, Peng Chengxuan's heart suddenly tightened and his face suddenly became hot.
Being caught observing other people's little movements is embarrassing enough.
What's more, the other party still faced his rude behavior with a smile.
In order to lighten the atmosphere and find something to talk about, he pretended to be calm and said, "Sister-in-law...what do you usually do in Shenzhen?"
The reason why he didn't ask specific work questions like "Where do you work?" was because he instinctively guessed that this woman from the countryside might not have a formal and stable job.
It would be inappropriate if I accidentally tell the truth later.
He couldn't bear that kind of embarrassing situation.
But unexpectedly, Ruan Chuxia immediately noticed the concerns in his words and did not beat around the bush.
Instead, he answered straightforwardly, "I work in the Zhiyu Team's medical office, and I've now reached the position of deputy director. My primary responsibility is to report daily progress to the director on a regular basis, and I also occasionally see patients and handle outpatient matters. I also participated in last year's special operation, where I performed quite well and later received a certificate of excellence for my work."
