Chapter 199: You’ve raised your son, why don’t you give him a legitimate status?
"This damn green tea girl made her face look just like yours and now comes to bother your Mr. He again."
Chi Xiaoli said angrily.
Jiang Xu looked out the window and said nothing.
At this time, Jiang Xueruo took off her sunglasses and looked at He Yanting lovingly: "Brother Yanting."
He Yanting stood there, looking at her with a very indifferent look.
"I said last time that I don't want to see you again."
Jiang Xueruo lowered her eyes, tears instantly falling: "I want to ask you for something."
He Yanting turned around, put his hands in his pockets, looked at the pond and asked, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Xueruo's eyes lit up, thinking he had softened his heart, and her tone suddenly became excited: "I used to cooperate with the Song family's gallery. Recently, their gallery was investigated for suspected asset transfer, and I might be implicated. I'm just a painter, I don't know anything else."
He Yanting looked at her quietly, waiting for her to finish speaking.
Suddenly asked: "Do you still remember Chen Rouer?"
Jiang Xueruo's expression changed slightly, and she whispered, "He's my former classmate. We don't see each other often. What's wrong?"
He Yanting's expression remained calm.
"Ruanruan was kidnapped not long ago. It was Chen Rouer's idea. You were the one who told her that Ruanruan worked at University A."
Jiang Xueluo covered her mouth with a look of surprise. "I...I don't know. We met at a bar last time and just chatted with her. I didn't expect her to do something so horrible."
"Just chatting?"
He Yanting narrowed his dark eyes and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He lowered his head, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said to Jiang Xueruo, "Actually, in the past few years, I have been recalling the past over and over again."
Jiang Xueruo bit her lip and said, "Brother Yanting, I always recall the past. You doted on me so much back then, and I was so happy."
He Yanting ignored her and continued, "I've always wondered how you pretended to be innocent on the surface, but actually bullied Ruanruan so viciously."
Jiang Xueruo was stunned.
She quickly shook her head: "I have never bullied her, but it was them, mother and daughter, who always bullied me!"
He Yanting looked at the tears in her eyes and suddenly smiled.
"Your acting might be good for some people, but it can't fool me. The reason I turned a blind eye to it before was probably because I was too obsessed with Si Tian."
"only--"
"I forgot that you and she are not the same person after all. She is kind and considerate, and you—"
He Yanting pursed his lips tightly, his dark eyes flashing with disgust and coldness, and he slowly uttered four words:
"Evil intentions."
He Yanting frowned tightly. "For this, I made Ruanruan suffer so much. Jiang Xueruo, you really deserve to die."
The color on Jiang Xueruo's face faded in an instant.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang.
After picking up the phone, a man's voice came from the other end: "Hello, is this Jiang Xueruo? This is the Beijing City Police Department. You are suspected of misappropriating funds from the Song Gallery. Please come to us and cooperate with the investigation. The address is..."
"No, no, it's none of my business. I won't go..."
Jiang Xueruo was so frightened that her voice trembled.
The man said seriously, "Ms. Jiang, if there really is a problem, it's different if you come here on your own initiative than if we come to you."
"No, I'm not going."
Jiang Xueruo looked guilty and turned to leave.
Suddenly, A Jiang blocked his way.
He Yanting's voice came faintly: "Go notify the police and tell them that Jiang Xueruo is here."
After saying that, he walked away with his long legs without even looking at Jiang Xueruo again.
"Brother Yan Ting, you can't do this to me, Brother Yan Ting..."
Jiang Xueruo cried and tried to chase after him, but was stopped by the bodyguard.
Ah Jiang said expressionlessly, "Mr. He no longer considers you his sister. From now on, please stop calling me brother. It sounds disgusting."
He Yanting returned to the box with his expression as usual.
After sitting down next to Jiang Xu, he held her hand and whispered, "Jiang Xueluo came to see me just now."
Jiang Xu said: "I saw it."
"Yeah, I know."
He exerted a little force and tightened his grip on her hand, and the two of them did not continue to discuss the matter.
—
A month later, the trial results of Song Gaoyuan and Song Baoyue came out.
The court sentenced them to thirty and twenty years in prison respectively, but the two were dissatisfied and appealed.
He Yanting said that appealing would not change anything and they were destined to spend the rest of their lives in prison.
A month later, the economic crime case of the Song Gallery was publicly tried.
Song Gaoyuan's son Song Mingqiang is the main person responsible.
Jiang Xueruo is a secondary person.
Jiang Xu saw Jiang Xuruo on TV and almost didn't recognize her face.
Perhaps because it was not repaired in time, her face looked very swollen, her nose was crooked, her eyelids drooped, and the shape of her lips became strange.
In short, there was no trace of Jiang Xu's features on that face anymore, it looked like a tragic failure of plastic surgery.
Chi Xiaoli sent her a message immediately and summed it up in one sentence:
【Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, it’s not that there is no reward but the time has not come】
Jiang Xueruo confessed to the fact that she used her paintings to participate in economic crimes and almost fainted from crying in court. She was eventually fined a large sum of money and sentenced to twelve years in prison.
Everything seemed to be settled.
Jiang Xu looked out the window.
Midsummer had just passed and the heat had not yet dissipated.
Suddenly I realized that she had returned to China exactly one year ago.
In just one year, so many things happened and the fate of so many people was completely changed.
"Mother!"
The soft little hands held her, Jiang Xu lowered her head and met Tuanbao's clear big eyes.
"Tuanbao."
Jiang Xu smiled and touched his face.
He Yanting appeared at the door, holding a brand new blue schoolbag, with an unhappy look on his face: "He's been choosing for a long time, but he's not satisfied with this or that. Next time you should take him with you. He'll like whatever you choose."
Jiang Xu raised an eyebrow: "I already said I would go, who asked you to volunteer?"
He Yanting's eyes softened. "I saw that your project had just finished, so I wanted you to rest more."
He put down his schoolbag, walked over and rubbed her shoulders.
"Wife."
"I'm not your wife."
"You are."
"I'm not."
…
Tuanbao watched the two bickering, yawned, and said while carrying his schoolbag, "You guys keep arguing. I'm going to read a book."
Jiang Xu looked at his small figure, which was obviously much taller, and a hint of tenderness appeared at the corner of her mouth.
The little fetus that was in my belly back then is now about to go to elementary school.
A few days ago, Gu Anan learned that Tuanbao was going to elementary school and would not be in the same school with her. She cried heart-wrenchingly and hugged Tuanbao tightly.
Thinking of that scene, Jiang Xu couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
He Yanting grabbed her hand and looked down at her, "Ruanruan, our current situation is called illegal cohabitation. I helped you raise our son, so why don't you give me a legitimate status?"
Jiang Xu broke free from his hand and turned to face the window.
In the past two months, many people have been intentionally or unintentionally trying to find out whether she and He Yanting have reunited.
In fact, she moved to Dihua Mansion mainly to take care of Tuanbao.
As for He Yanting...
During this time, she didn't let him touch her.
She had thought about getting back together many times, but there was always a hurdle in her heart that she couldn't get over.
She didn't know what that hurdle was. Perhaps it was the regret buried deep in her heart, or the heart-wrenching hurt she had suffered, or the despair and grief of a previous life.
Just as she was struggling, her cell phone suddenly rang.
It was the leader of the Health Bureau who called.
Ignoring He Yanting's eager gaze, she pressed the answer button.
"Hello?"
A few minutes later, when she heard what was said on the phone, her expression suddenly became serious.
"I understand. I will think about it carefully and give you an answer as soon as possible."
He Yanting asked, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Xu didn't hide anything from him and said, "There's an unknown virus that's broken out in a country called Kalua in Africa. It's highly contagious and has a very high mortality rate. The Health Bureau needs to send professionals there to conduct research and provide assistance."
"no!"
He Yanting denied it without even thinking about it.
Jiang Xu pursed her lips: "This is my business, let me decide for myself."
He Yanting's eyes were filled with worry. He was silent for a few seconds, as if compromising: "Okay."
