After dinner.
Cha Jiuzhang quickly cleaned up the dishes and then made a pot of herbal tea that Jiang Tiantian had made herself.
Xia Rusheng's mood had calmed down a lot at this time, and she looked at Cha Jiuzhang from the perspective of a mother-in-law.
The more I look at it, the more satisfied I am.
It can be seen that the couple has a very good relationship.
Cha Jiuzhang is also very doting on Jiang Tiantian.
very nice.
But suddenly she thought of Wei Siyu's thoughts, and a trace of melancholy rose in her heart again. She must have a good talk with that girl when she gets back.
From now on, Cha Jiuzhang will be her brother-in-law. How could he compete with his sister for a man?
After everyone sat down again.
Jiang Tiantian spoke first, "Mom, can you tell us how you have been living these years?"
Xia Rusheng thought for a moment before saying, "When I gave birth to you, I thought you..."
She paused and started again, "I was disheartened at the time. There was no one left in the country that I could miss. I left with my eldest brother, who was sent by your uncle, overnight, and prepared to go abroad to find them."
Xia Rusheng's eyes drifted into the distance. "After arriving abroad, I met your uncle and uncle. At that time, the country had been looking for us. Although the emperor was far away, we would not be affected abroad."
"But we lived in the Chinese community at the time, and many people there had heard some rumors. We had no evidence to prove ourselves, and we didn't want to walk around with the charge of treason."
"So, we decided to move to another city, change our names, and start over."
Having said this, Xia Rusheng's eyes dimmed.
"But I didn't expect that it was this decision that led my eldest and second brothers to a path of no return."
"The cruise ship we were on had a mechanical failure and navigation failure halfway through the journey. The ship hit the iceberg directly at sea."
"When the boat sank, my eldest and second brothers pushed me onto a small wooden board. Then a storm came and I was hit on the head by something and passed out."
"When I woke up, I was in hospital, but there was a blood clot in my brain that was pressing on my nerves, so I had forgotten everything that happened before."
The heavy memories of the past made Xia Rusheng's face turn a little pale.
When Jiang Tiantian heard this, she also grabbed Xia Rusheng's hand, trying to give her some warmth and strength.
Xia Rusheng smiled at her, held her hand and patted it gently.
"It's okay. That's all in the past."
"I was probably floating far away at the time, and a passing cruise ship rescued me. When the Wei family saw that I was Chinese, they took the initiative to take care of me."
"Afterwards, I lived with their family and served as the tutor for the Wei siblings."
"Later, I became sworn sisters with the mother of the Wei brothers and sisters, and her mother gave me my current name."
"It was not until last year that I remembered everything that happened and decided to return to China. I want to get everything back for the Fan family."
"But, I didn't expect..."
Jiang Tiantian roughly understood the rest.
Her biological mother should have heard some news about the Fan family case in the past few days, but she may only have a vague understanding of it.
Jiang Tiantian carefully considered her choice of words and sentences, and tried to use concise language to tell Xia Rusheng how she had overturned the Fan family case.
How did the higher-ups handle this matter later?
…
After listening to this, Xia Rusheng did not react for a long time.
Jiang Tiantian refilled the cup in front of her with hot tea.
"Mom, this is the truth."
"Now that you have returned to China, what are your plans for the future?"
She really wanted to ask, do you still have my dad in your heart?
Because looking at the current situation, Xia Rusheng is still single.
If they still have feelings for each other, Jiang Tiantian doesn't mind trying to bring them together.
Both of them are pitiful people and victims. I hope they can live a happier life in the second half of their lives.
Jiang Tiantian did not tell Xia Rusheng in detail what the original owner had experienced at the hands of Du Yulan.
It was only after Du Yulan was implicated in the Fan family's case that Wang Min, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiang family, told the truth about the hospital's substitution.
Xia Rusheng also understood Wang Min's approach at this time. Under the circumstances at that time, this might be the only way to protect both mother and daughter.
Xia Rusheng looked at Cha Jiuzhang, and then he remembered a question, "Oh, Tiantian, wasn't it the eldest granddaughter of the Jiang family who was engaged to Jiuzhang back then?"
"Why, it's you two who are getting married now?"
If she hadn't known clearly the contents of the marriage contract between the two families, she wouldn't have almost made such a big mistake.
"Mom, Jiang Hongmei is not the daughter of our Jiang family at all."
"Du Yulan and my father had a misunderstanding back then. It was all planned by her. Nothing actually happened between them. Jiang Hongmei was the child of Du Yulan and another man."
Jiang Tiantian sighed, and in a few words, she told the story of how Du Yulan had framed Jiang Jianhua and how she had deliberately provoked her and made her run away.
This led to the appearance of the Fan couple, and then the story of how the accident happened was told.
"What?"
Xia Rusheng's pupils shrank when he heard this.
She thought back to the time when she heard Du Yulan talk with her own ears about how she had gotten together with Jiang Jianhua and how she was pregnant.
And then my impulsive departure...
His face suddenly turned pale.
If all this was an illusion deliberately created by Du Yulan.
The purpose is to marry into the Jiang family.
Then, hadn't she and Jiang Jianhua been deceived by her for so many years?
Seeing this, Jiang Tiantian sighed again. Speaking of this matter, the most innocent people were the woman in front of her and Fan’s parents back then.
One pair lost their lives, and the other one was stranded outside for many years, unable to return home.
Jiang Tiantian stood up and gently hugged Xia Rusheng, "Mom, these things are in the past. We are all fine now. We should cherish the present."
"In the future, our lives will get better and better."
Xia Rusheng's eyes were red, and at this moment, he didn't know what he felt in his heart.
She hugged Jiang Tiantian back, choking and asking with difficulty, "Has Du Yulan been good to you all these years?"
When I thought about my precious daughter being raised by my enemy...
Her heart felt as if it were being stabbed by thousands of needles.
Jiang Tiantian let her go, thought for a long time, and finally told the truth.
Otherwise, if she was letting her imagination run wild and thinking that she and Du Yulan were as close as mother and daughter, there must be a thorn in her heart that she couldn't get rid of.
But you can't make it sound too tragic, otherwise, the woman will definitely feel even sadder.
Jiang Tiantian said something selectively.
"Du Yulan may have discovered a long time ago that I am not her biological daughter. Besides, I look somewhat like you."
"So, in the past few years, my life was not very good. Of course, I didn't lack food or clothes, but it was more of a mental oppression."
