Chapter 154 Extra: Jiang Minzhi [4]

Jiang Xinzhi studied very hard under the two professors.

With a certain amount of knowledge reserve, Pei Jinyan began to take her to every negotiation occasion in the company and teach her hand in hand.

A year later, Pei Jinyan gave the subsidiary of Pei Group to Jiang Xuanzhi for training.

By the end of the year, the subsidiary's turnover had quintupled.

The whole family celebrated for her happily, and Mrs. Pei made steamed chicken in lotus leaf and Dongpo pork.

Jiang Xuanzhi ate it, even though it didn't taste good.

Jiang Xinzhi teamed up with the president of the rival company who had given her the USB drive before to conspire and set up a trap, with Pei Jinyan's timely guidance.

My uncle was deeply involved in the game. When he came to his senses, he ran to Hua Ming Garden, but the security guard stopped him and wouldn't let him in.

The uncle cursed Jiang Xuanzhi without any manners, cursing her to die early, saying that she was heartless and had an unlucky fate.

Jiang Minzhi sat in front of the monitoring room and looked at him calmly.

My uncle was tired of scolding and sat on the ground.

Not long after, the police came and said he was suspected of murder.

My uncle was taken into the police car with my aunt sitting inside.

Five years later, Jiang Xinzhi returned to the main house of the Jiang family, walked into the ancestral hall, and placed his grandmother's tablet next to his parents.

She knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Dad, Mom, Grandma, everything in the Jiang family has been taken back by Yaoyao."

The Jiang family company is very busy.

In her spare time, Jiang Xuanzhi went to see Pei Yunzhi. She found that he liked listening to piano music, so she asked her best friend to teach him to play the piano.

Although he is young, he studies very hard.

Jiang Xinzhi set up his piano room next to the study. He practiced in the piano room and she listened in the study.

When Pei Yunzhi was seven years old, Jiang Xuanzhi discovered that she was pregnant.

She was not a good mother, so she made a private appointment with a doctor without telling anyone in the Pei family.

Before leaving the house, Pei Yunzhi came towards her and said, "Mom, I want a younger sister. Grandma said her name is 'Yu Ning'. I like younger sisters."

At that moment, Jiang Xuanzhi seemed to be nailed to the spot, with his feet taking root.

Maybe telepathy between brothers and sisters really exists in this world.

Maybe she can try to be a good mother.

Jiang Xinzhi's belly gradually grew bigger, and Pei Yinzhi often stared at her belly but did not get close.

She awkwardly tried to find a topic to talk about: "Yanzhi, sister wants to hear you play the piano."

Pei Yunzhi nodded obediently: "Okay."

The mother and her two children went upstairs and walked into the piano room.

Pei Yunzhi played Wei Congfei's piano piece "Qingshi Lane", which was very nice.

Jiang Xuanzhi's eyes were moist as he looked at the sunset outside the window.

When she was five months pregnant, Jiang Xinzhi started to have trouble sleeping.

In the evening, Pei Jinyan came back from a social event, smelling of perfume and alcohol. Jiang Minzhi felt nauseous at the smell, but social events were inevitable, so she didn't say anything.

When Pei Jinyan came out of the bathroom, she walked in and accidentally saw his white shirt on the shower rack, with lipstick marks on the collar.

Jiang Xuanzhi put the white shirt back with a normal expression.

Later, she discovered that Pei Jinyan was always stained with the same perfume, and women's lipstick and leather rings appeared in the back seat of the car more than once.

On Sunday, Pei Yunzhi’s piano lesson, but his best friend didn’t come.

Jiang Xinzhi called her and it was her mother who answered the phone. She said that her best friend committed suicide and scolded her best friend's husband for cheating on her.

The words of his best friend's mother and his ex-best friend overlapped in Jiang Xuanzhi's ears.

Best friend: "At first, I didn't want an arranged marriage because I heard he was a playboy, but later I found out that he was really good to me, so maybe an arranged marriage is not bad. Zhizhi, we will be happier and happier."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xinzhi stood by the window and watched the sun gradually set.

That night, Jiang Xinzhi found a condom in Pei Jinyan's trouser pocket.

She lay down on the bed and said calmly, "Go sleep next door."

Pei Jin extended her arms and hugged her: "You are not feeling well, I have to take care of you."

Jiang Minzhi: "I can't sleep with someone next to me."

So from that night on, the two of them slept in separate beds.

When she was eight months pregnant, Pei Jinyan proposed to sleep together, but Jiang Xinzhi refused. Now, when she saw his face, she couldn't help vomiting.

She checked the gender of the baby in her belly and was relieved to find out it was a boy.

The baby was born healthy, but it was a girl.

Jiang Xinzhi collapsed instantly. Why is it a girl?

Pei Yuning loves to cry. It seems that her crying can be heard everywhere in the huge main house.

After the confinement period, Jiang Xinzhi didn't want to stay at home for a moment. She went to the Jiang family company, worked until late at night every day, and avoided communicating with anyone in the Pei family.

Children grow up very fast. In a blink of an eye, Pei Yuning was three years old and went to kindergarten.

Jiang Xuanzhi was busy working in the study with the door open, and Pei Yunzhi was playing the piano next door.

There was no water in the cup, so she stood up to pour some water. She saw Pei Yuning, a small ball, sticking to the door, looking at her with his head tilted.

When he came into her sight, Pei Yuning covered his eyes and hid.

Jiang Xinzhi walked to the door and asked, "What's the matter?"

Pei Yuning looked at her for a while and whispered, "Next Monday, the kindergarten will hold a parents' meeting. Dad promised me to go. Will Mom go?"

Jiang Xinzhi: "I'm very busy at work. I don't have time."

Hearing this, Pei Yuning blinked and looked like she was about to cry.

Jiang Minzhi had no experience with children and didn't know what to do. She remembered the grapes on the table, so she turned around and walked back, took the grapes and handed them to Pei Yuning: "Grapes, sweet."

Pei Yuning reached out her hand, then retracted it, glanced at her nervously, and asked, "Mom, can you give it to me?"

Jiang Xinzhi avoided her gaze: "Yeah."

"Thank you, Mom!" Pei Yuning brought a plate of grapes and trotted into the piano room next door.

Jiang Xuanzhi stood there in a daze, between her fingers she felt the soft touch left by Pei Yuning, as soft as white clouds, her child.

The piano room door slowly closed, and she heard Pei Yuning's happy laughter: "Brother, Mom gave us a plate of grapes!"

Pei Yunzhi: "Don't you hate eating grapes?"

Pei Yuning: "I don't mind. I like it."

Pei Yunzhi: "You can't eat the skin. I'll peel it for you."

On Monday, Jiang Xinzhi stood outside the classroom and listened to the parents' meeting.

Jiang Xuanzhi went downstairs and saw a strange beautiful woman standing in the hall. She was bending over and reaching out, trying to touch Pei Yuning's face.

Pei Yuning took a step back: "Don't touch me."

Master Pei: "Ningning, come here."

Xu Han: "Sorry, I can't help but want to touch cute children."

Jiang Xuanzhi walked over and smelled the perfume on the strange woman. It was a very familiar, nauseating smell.

Xu Han smiled at her: "My name is Xu Han. Madam, you are so lucky to have such a beautiful daughter. I wonder how many rich young masters will be dream lovers of your daughter in the future."

Jiang Xuanzhi hated the word "daughter". Xu Han's words reminded her that Pei Yuning was the daughter of the Pei family and would definitely marry into a prominent family in northern Beijing. This was her fate that she could not escape.

Old Madam Pei brought the documents from the study. Xu Han looked at Jiang Minzhi's pale face, smiled and said goodbye and left.

Jiang Xinzhi's insomnia became more and more serious. She seemed to have developed resistance to sleeping pills and could not sleep for long even after taking them.

At the end of the year, Jiang Xinzhi found a benign tumor in his stomach during a physical examination.

From the onset of the disease to the removal, Mrs. Pei was always with her and took care of her.

After the beginning of the year, Jiang Xinzhi transferred the shares of Jiang's company to Pei Yunzhi and Pei Yuning.

Due to health reasons, she no longer went to the company and stayed in her bedroom.

Day and night seem to be reversed.

In the dream, there were the car accident of parents, the lifeless face of grandmother, the brain and blood of the attending doctor, the suicide of best friend, and Pei Jinyan's cheating.

Jiang Minzhi woke up and opened the window. She wanted to jump down. As long as she jumped down, she would be free.

But the faces of Pei Yunzhi and Pei Yuning flashed before her eyes. Her two children were still so young. If she really jumped off the building, what if they were playing on the first floor and saw her broken body? It would be a lifelong nightmare for them. So she retracted her leg that was halfway out.

Jiang Xinzhi sat in the corner of the bedroom, her headache piercing her like needles. She numbly watched the sunset outside the window shining into the room.

Pei Yuning pushed the door open and walked in: "Mom, I drew a photo of our family."

Jiang Xinzhi looked at the painting in her hand. There was a name written on the top of each person's head. She and Pei Yuning were wearing red skirts, which looked like blood spurting out of the human body.

She began to tremble, and unconsciously walked to Pei Yuning, tore up her painting, pushed her to the ground, and pinched her frail neck with both hands unconsciously: "You shouldn't have come to this world, why were you born in my belly? Why can't you be a boy? Why are you my child?"

Jiang Minzhi's consciousness began to be torn. She looked at Pei Yuning's face, which was gradually turning red and purple, and cried and laughed: "Ningning, don't be afraid. Mom will go with you. I will love you for a while. Don't be born into a rich family in your next life."

Pei Yunzhi appeared at the bedroom door, ran over and pushed her away, then held Pei Yuning in his arms, soothing her and coaxing her incoherently: "Ningning, brother is here, open your eyes and look at me, brother is here, Ningning, be good, breathe slowly, yes, breathe slowly, don't be afraid, brother will always be with Ningning, brother will always be with Ningning."

When the Pei family heard the noise, they rushed over and sent Pei Yuning and Jiang Xinzhi to the hospital.

Jiang Xinzhi said nothing and refused to communicate with anyone.

It was late at night and Jiang Minzhi ignored Pei Jinyan who was guarding her bedside, got out of bed quietly, and opened the door to Pei Yuning's ward next door. Old Madam Pei and Pei Yunzhi were guarding her and were both asleep at this moment.

Jiang Minzhi stood beside the bed, looking at the pinch marks on Pei Yuning's neck. She covered her mouth, her heart aching as if it was fried in hot oil.

What's wrong with her? Why does she treat her own child like this?

She bent over and carefully reached out to touch Pei Yuning's neck. Perhaps because of the pain, Pei Yuning's eyelashes trembled, as if he was about to wake up.

Jiang Xianzhi didn't dare to touch her again and turned around and left the ward.

Jiang Xinzhi filed for divorce and went to France to find a quiet place to wait for death.

Half a year later, Pei Jinyan got married. Xu Han often sent her photos of herself and her two children, saying that she would take good care of them and let her rest assured.

In the photo, Xu Han gets along very well with the two children, better than she does, and more like a family than she does.

In the first year, Jiang Xinzhi tried many ways to die, but was rescued every time.

People who are unlucky with their relatives have a very hard life.

The next year, she saw Li Yanqing in the hospital.

In the third year, Li Yanqing repaired the veil that his grandmother had embroidered halfway and married her.

In the next ten years, her illness was sometimes better and sometimes worse, with no certainty, but Li Yanqing always stayed by her side.

After the second course of MECT electroconvulsive therapy ended, Jiang Xinzhi had a splitting headache, but the depressed mood in his heart was gradually subsiding.

Li Yanqing fed her an ibuprofen pill and helped her lie back on the bed. He turned on the recording on his phone, which contained the song "Bluestone Lane" that he had played earlier.

Jiang Xuanzhi fell asleep listening to this piano piece.

When I woke up, it was already night.

Li Yanqing looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Jiang Xinzhi drank the sweet porridge and said, "Just say it."

Li Yanqing: "The Pei family and the Shang family have formed an alliance."

The sweet porridge spilled onto the quilt, and Li Yanqing quickly lifted the quilt to avoid scalding her.

Jiang Xuanzhi had only one thought in his mind: the merchant's grandson was a boy.

She picked up the phone, her hands shaking, and dialed Pei Yuning's number.

After the call was connected, Jiang Xinzhi asked hurriedly, "Who asked you to arrange a marriage?"

Pei Yuning: "Does it have anything to do with you?"

Jiang Minzhi: "Ningning, you are still so young, and the Pei family wants you to marry. What is their intention? I will return to the country tomorrow to cancel this marriage for you. Your future is still..."

Pei Yuning interrupted her calmly: "I am an adult today, and you don't even know this, let alone what qualifications you have to disagree with my marriage. Even if it is an arranged marriage, I can live a good life. I am not you."

The call was disconnected.

Jiang Xuanzhi looked at the date on her phone. Today was Pei Yuning's eighteenth birthday, which she had forgotten.

The marriage with the merchant was a foregone conclusion. Jiang Minzhi called Pei's family, and they all said that Pei Yuning was willing to marry and had no intention of canceling the engagement.

At the wedding banquet, Jiang Xinzhi saw the man who saved him five years ago, and he turned out to be the second son of Mr. Shang.

He said he loved Pei Yuning and wanted to marry her.

Jiang Min knew it was ridiculous, but just like she couldn't stop the marriage two years ago, she couldn't stop it this time either, because she had no qualifications.

The wedding date was set, and Jiang Minzhi began to prepare Pei Yuning's dowry.

She also put her grandmother's white jade bracelet in, replaced the silver thread with gold thread, and added orchid patterns.

The blessed elder of the next of kin embroidered the veil.

Jiang Xuanzhi looked at the intact festive veil and felt happy from the bottom of his heart. The veil was intact, so Ningning's marriage would definitely be smooth and happy.

I hope she can accept this cover.

After reading the letter in the jewelry box inlaid with pearls and crane pattern, Jiang Xuanzhi leaned into Li Yanqing's arms and cried bitterly.

She is a failed abusive mother.

After that day, Jiang Xinzhi began to actively cooperate with the treatment. When he was in a bad mood, he would go out to bask in the sun, and when he was having wild thoughts, he would chat with Li Yanqing.

She wants to move forward and stay healthy.

On the day Pei Yuning left the palace, she was covered with a veil embroidered by her close relative, the elder Quanfu.

Jiang Xuanzhi shed tears of joy as he watched Pei Yunzhi carrying Pei Yuning downstairs.

Shang Yanci is different. Ningning will be happy with him.

The day before New Year's Eve, Li Yanqing took Jiang Xinzhi to Tonga in the South Pacific, the first place on earth where the sun can be seen.

The New Year's bell rang, and Jiang Minzhi couldn't sleep, so he simply sat on the sofa by the window and waited for the sun.

She didn't know how long she slept before Li Yanqing woke her up and put his hand in front of her eyes.

Jiang Xinzhi leaned in his arms and asked, "What time is it now? Has the sun come out?"

Li Yanqing was quiet for a minute, put down his hands, and said softly: "Yaoyao, the sun is out. I wish you a healthy and happy new year."

She opened her eyes and saw the sun rising slowly from the sea level, and the first ray of dazzling light fell on her and Li Yanqing.

Jiang Minzhi smiled and said, "Li Li, the sun is out. I wish you a healthy and happy new year."
