Nan Zhi casually played with her hair. "I don't want to cause any trouble. I've fallen for Jiang Qingyan and I can't bear to leave him, is that not allowed?"
Seeing that Jiang's mother's face had become very beautiful, Nan Zhi curled her red lips and swayed her waist as she walked out of the bathroom.
Seeing that there was no way to get through to her, Jiang's mother discussed it with Jiang's father that night, and the next day she went to find Jiang Qingyan again.
"Qingyan, Mom saw your trending topic. It's all Nanzhi's fault. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't be being attacked."
Jiang's mother spoke indignantly, but seeing that Jiang Qingyan remained unmoved, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "Qingyan, I'm really worried. I don't want that kind of woman with you. Why don't you get a divorce?"
Jiang Qingyan's quiet expression finally changed slightly.
"Mom, do you really want me and Zhizhi to get a divorce?"
A strange glint flashed in Jiang's mother's eyes, but it quickly turned into anger: "Qingyan, of course I want you to be well, but Nanzhi is really not a good match..."
"Whether she is a good match or not, I have always known very well. Mom, please stop talking. I will not divorce Zhizhi, never."
Jiang's mother tried to say, "Qingyan, how could you be so foolish? That kind of despicable woman, Nanzhi, just leave her. Mom will find you someone a hundred times better than her..."
"Mom!" Jiang Qingyan's voice turned cold. His gaze was so cold that it had no warmth at all. He said, word by word, "You are not allowed to say anything bad about Zhizhi."
I saw it again.
Jiang's mother saw the same look in her eyes again... no, it was colder and more terrifying than that day.
Jiang's mother swallowed nervously, only then realizing that she seemed to know nothing about her son.
She always thought he had a very good temper, was very gentle, and was also very weak.
But it seems that's not the case. His unintentional domineering attitude towards Nanzhi is astonishing.
Jiang's mother bit her lip, her tone softening: "Qingyan, even if you don't want a divorce, can't you help your brother? He made a mistake in his contract and owes two billion. He's been so busy he hasn't been home in ages. Don't you feel sorry for him...?"
Helping my younger brother again...
Jiang Qingyan closed his eyes and gave a silent, cold laugh.
"Mom, if it were me today, and sacrificing Jiashu's happiness could help me, would you try to persuade him?"
Jiang's mother was clearly speechless.
After hesitating for a moment, she stammered, "Qingyan, Mom will. Mom will definitely try to persuade Jiashu."
Jiang Qingyan stared at her eyes and asked, "What if he doesn't agree?"
Jiang's mother choked up again.
Jiang Qingyan laughed: "Mom, so why, why do I have to help?"
Jiang's mother exclaimed excitedly, "He's your brother!"
"Just because he's my younger brother, does that mean I should always give in to him?" Jiang Qingyan looked at her, enunciating each word with a chilling tone, "Including these...legs of mine?"
Jiang's mother was shocked. Looking at Jiang Qingyan, she vaguely recalled the scene of the car accident.
At that time, Jiang Qingyan and Jiang Jiashu were both sitting in the back seat.
Even though Jiang Qingyan was closer to her, she didn't rush to see him.
Instead, they went to see Jiang Jiashu first.
She was still trying to cover up her favoritism back then: "Qingyan, no, it was because Jiashu's condition seemed more serious that Mom went to see him first. Mom didn't neglect you."
Jiang Qingyan's smile deepened: "Mom, I've always known that even though you say you hate Nanzhi, you didn't want us to get a divorce before."
Jiang's mother was clearly flustered: "Qingyan, Mom didn't, Mom is just trying to think of a way..."
"If Jia Shu hadn't gotten into trouble and owed two billion, you wouldn't have advised me to divorce Zhi Zhi, right?"
Jiang Qingyan spoke slowly and deliberately, each word spoken with a smile.
His expression remained as gentle as ever, yet it somehow made Jiang's mother feel uneasy.
Jiang Qingyan smiled and said, "Back then, after what happened between Nanzhi and me, you seemed very angry on the surface, but I heard what you said to Dad."
Almost as soon as those words were spoken, Jiang's mother turned deathly pale.
The scene from that time flashed through my mind.
She saw Nan Zhi bullying Jiang Qingyan, and for a moment, she was indeed very angry.
But Jiang's father told her...
"The company has recently encountered some operational problems and is in dire need of funds. The Nan family is wealthy and powerful and can help us."
"But Qingyan..."
“Qingyan has a problem with his leg, and there are no noble families willing to form a marriage alliance with us. Since Nanzhi has come up with the idea, we might as well let them get married.”
Jiang's mother swallowed the words she wanted to say in refusal.
But she still felt guilty, which is why she asked Jiang Qingyan for his opinion.
She hadn't expected that before she could even bring it up, Jiang Qingyan would propose to marry Nanzhi.
In that instant, the guilt in her heart lessened considerably.
Jiang Qingyan and Nan Zhi have been married for so long.
She felt bad watching Nan Zhi bully Jiang Qingyan, but seeing Jiang Qingyan always protecting Nan Zhi, she selfishly thought that it was his own choice, not something she forced him to do.
She tried her best to maintain a facade of professionalism.
She had always thought she was doing a good job, but now Jiang Qingyan had easily exposed her flaws.
An unprecedented sense of guilt swept over her heart, and she was so frightened that she took a few steps back and turned away in a disheveled state.
Jiang Qingyan watched her retreating figure and gave a cold, indifferent smile.
Nanzhi returned from outside and happened to see Jiang's mother running out of the bedroom in a panic, without even closing the door.
Nan Zhi went inside, closed the door, and saw Jiang Qingyan in front of the French windows.
He sat in his wheelchair, the dim light gently bathing his entire body, like a statue, his beautiful face captivating, serene and peaceful.
