Chapter 63 Chapter 63
Yue Qing couldn't do anything, and she couldn't do anything. Now she was like a fish on the chopping board, waiting for someone to cut her.
But the only clear thought was that she couldn't just sit there and wait for death.
"I should go back home immediately," she said.
"Now?" Annie frowned. "Didn't you say I can't go back?"
"Yes." Yue Qing stood up and said softly, "Even if I can't stay here any longer, I can't just leave without saying a word. I promised the children I would go back."
Even if the Jiang family finds out that she is responsible, she cannot let those charges be pinned on her head. She cannot bear it.
Annie also stood beside her: "I'll go back with you."
"No." Yue Qing took a deep breath and made up his mind. "You can still do me a small favor here."
This time she went back she had to meet Jiang Suizhi's father, but her relationship with Jiang Suizhi had become so complicated and awkward. Yue Qing didn't know how to explain it to him, but she knew she must not let Jiang Suizhi know until she had resolved the issue herself.
Jiang Suizhi will be attending a meeting abroad for a few days, so she has to finish it before then.
After making plans, Yueqing bought the nearest flight ticket and flew back to China.
Jiang Hechang, who was still in the dark, had no idea how big a mess his youngest son had caused abroad. At this moment, the father and son were doing their own things, one was still scheming to pursue the person, and the other was trying every means to find out the truth of the past.
The paternity test came out very quickly. Jiang Hechang was actually mentally prepared before opening the report, but even so, his mind went blank the moment he saw the result.
This Yueqing is not the Yueqing of the past, nor is it the mother of the children.
Then who is she...?
The only child in the orphanage, named Yueqing, was clearly dead.
Jiang Hechang, who was already old, had to use his brain at this moment, but he just couldn't figure out any key points. After thinking for a long time, he decided to tell his youngest son about the situation, so that at least he could have one more person to discuss it with.
But as soon as he took out his phone, he received a call.
This was the call he secretly saved from the old man's mobile phone, with the name noted, and it was a call from Yueqing.
Jiang Hechang hesitated for a moment and then answered the call.
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Jiang?" The female voice on the other end of the line was gentle yet clear, which made Jiang Hechang even more certain at this moment that the person he met that year was not her.
"I am."
"I'm Yueqing," the person on the other end said. "I just got off the plane. If you have time, can we meet and chat?"
This time, before Jiang Hechang went out, he finally understood the feeling of the old man sneaking out on his own.
As soon as he came downstairs, the old man's sharp eyes shot over and stared at him fiercely: "Where are you going?"
Jiang Hechang has been under surveillance every day since the last time he went to see the two children and they were thrown out by the old man.
In the old man’s words: The child doesn’t understand anything yet, but until you have explained everything to your daughter, you cannot go to see the child. This is the principle.
Bullshit principle, this old guy doesn’t even know who the child’s mother is.
Jiang Hechang felt that he was the only one who knew the truth and was the most sensitive and wise. Now it should be other people who were isolated.
So he decided to keep the show for now, and when the time comes, he will slap everyone in the face with the truth and make them regret their isolation.
"I'm going to meet a friend." Jiang Hechang straightened his collar, very calm.
The old man asked sharply: "What friend? How old are you?"
"Not three years old anyway."
"You'd better." However, seeing that he was dressed quite formally today and didn't look mysterious with a bunch of gifts, Old Master Jiang didn't get too suspicious. "I'll give you two hours. If you're not back, I'll wait for you at my great-grandson's place."
Jiang Hechang: “…”
He walked out of the house with a proud look on his face.
I breathed a sigh of relief after getting in the car. I didn't expect that there would be the same open and secret struggles at home as at work.
As expected, wherever there are people, there is struggle.
The three-year-old is no exception.
This time he made an appointment with Yue Qing to have the same private restaurant as four years ago, but now Jiang Yan was no longer there, and this place was no longer their secret base as before.
Jiang Hechang arrived early and organized all the information he had recently found and placed it on the desk so that he could talk later.
After about ten minutes, the door of the box was opened.
When he looked up and saw the person coming, his eyes showed a slight surprise.
There is always a certain gap between what you see in the picture and what you see in person. Only when you see the real person with your own eyes can you deeply understand why the old man keeps calling this person "good girl, good girl" all day long.
Unlike the flamboyant "Yueqing" in the past, Yueqing's facial features at this moment are very delicate and soft, and the whole person exudes a kind of beauty of still water running deep, looking low-key and gentle.
She didn't sit down immediately, but stood in front of the table and nodded gently, neither humble nor arrogant: "Mr. Jiang."
With this comparison, Jiang Hechang suddenly felt that he had indeed been a bit superior when he first met "Yue Qing". He coughed uncomfortably and said, "Sit down."
Yueqing put down her bag without saying anything else, because the first thing she saw was a thick stack of papers on the table.
I think the other party came prepared and knew the purpose of this meeting.
She drank some water to moisten her throat, which was dry from being nervous, and then she spoke softly, "I heard from the children that you went home a few days ago."
Jiang Hechang felt a little guilty for some reason: "I just went to see them, but I didn't stay long."
The other party's attitude was beyond Yueqing's expectations. It was not as extreme and angry as he had imagined.
"I know." Yue Qing put down the cup and said softly, "I heard that you took my hair. I guess the result has come out by now, right?"
Her eyes fell on the pile of papers.
At this point, Jiang Hechang didn't hide anything anymore and just pushed all the information forward: "Some things are more direct when asked directly. Regarding your identity, I think we should have the right to know. Is your name Yueqing?"
"That's right."
Jiang Hechang smiled slightly: "Jiang Yan's girlfriend back then was also called Yue Qing."
No matter what, he had worked hard to get to where he was. Even though he had retired, he still had the aura of a superior accumulated over the years, and his every move was filled with scrutiny and inquiry.
Yue Qing felt like she had done something wrong and was being interrogated by her leader with evidence, so she gritted her teeth and took the information.
However, there weren't many "absurd" stories about the original owner, but more about the...
Yue Qing reacted and looked up in surprise: "What did you say?"
The child’s mother is also called Yueqing?!
"Yes, it's just what you thought," Jiang Hechang said. "So all along we assumed you were the mother of the child, until I saw your magazine at my father's place. You look different from the Yue Qing I met, your age is different, and your personality is completely different. So why is this? Where is the child's mother now? Why is the child with you?"
Another bombshell fell on his head. Yue Qing couldn't understand why the child's biological mother had the same name as him.
If it weren't for the paternity test and what Nora said, she would have doubted whether the original owner was the child's biological mother.
But Jiang Hechang had already noticed her shock and asked in a deep voice, "Judging from your reaction, you don't know about this?"
"I'm sorry." Yue Qing spoke truthfully. "This is indeed the first time I've heard of this. Actually, I'm not very familiar with the child's mother, and I don't even know her name. I think you know her situation better than I do."
It's not just unfamiliar, it's that I've never seen it before.
Seeing the other party's face turn a little ugly, Yue Qing suddenly felt that he had made the right bet.
Jiang Hechang owes the child's mother, and after finding out his identity, he must have guessed what happened to the child's mother.
"I snatched the children from someone," Yue Qing said, reciting the prepared remarks. "Someone had plastic surgery to look like me, used my name, and swindled the mother of the children out of money before she died. They then took the two children away."
"Later, I met someone in England who mistook me for me, and that's when I learned what happened. So I went to find that person and took the children back." Yue Qing took out a few cards from her bag and placed them on the table. "But unfortunately, that person ran away, and I still haven't found them. At the time, I didn't know who the children's biological father was, so I had to raise them until Jiang Sui showed up."
Jiang Hechang didn't understand her action, but he was more eager to know her identity: "So you are the child who died in the orphanage?"
Yue Qing flipped through the remaining information, and when he saw the last photo of a child named Yue Qing in the orphanage, his pupils widened slightly.
Many years ago, she had her photos taken when she was in an orphanage. The photos would be shown by the director to every family who wanted to adopt a child, so she knew what she looked like when she was a child.
This photo looks exactly like my past self, no wonder the original owner had plastic surgery to look like me so accurately.
Yueqing was five years old when she was adopted into the orphanage. She doesn't remember anything before the age of five. She just thought she forgot everything because she was young.
But now she clearly saw in the information that the little girl died at the age of five.
She never thought there would be so many coincidences in the world.
At this moment, Yue Qing realized how ridiculous his previous optimism and complacency were.
She originally thought that continuing to live with her two children was the best outcome, but now she is not even sure about her own origins and future.
Her future is a mess.
"I don't remember anything about my childhood." Yue Qing suppressed the trembling in his heart and took another sip of water. "But my name has always been Yue Qing. It has never changed."
She raised her eyes and asked softly, "Mr. Jiang, do you have any questions?"
The questions he wanted to know were answered. Jiang Hechang did not have any problems now, but he just couldn't find out what was wrong.
"That child..."
Yue Qing pushed the card on the table again and said, "I'm sorry about one more thing. When I picked up the children, that person had almost spent all the money their mother had given them. I heard Jiang Suizhi say that the money was from you."
Jiang Hechang: “…”
Don't bring up things that are not related to the topic.
"There's some money in this card. Although it's not as much as the money you gave me, it's what I've saved for the children little by little since I took care of them," Yue Qing said. "It also includes some of the money they earned from online videos. I haven't touched a single cent of it."
"Actually, before you came home, I had some selfish thoughts. I thought that since you didn't realize that my identity was wrong, I could continue to raise the two children because I really like them."
She pursed her lips and said, "But I've heard Jiang Sui talk a lot about the child's biological parents, and I've also seen how much your family loves the child, so I know I shouldn't be so selfish. You are the children's real family. I came back this time to resolve this matter."
Jiang Hechang was stunned: "How are you going to solve this?"
"Of course, I want to let the children return to their real families. I had no other choice but to take them." Yue Qing tried to smile respectfully. "But before that, I want to meet the children first. Although they are young, they have the right to know what happened."
To be honest, Jiang Hechang was really moved.
He was really worried about leaving his son's own flesh and blood stranded outside.
Now things have been made clear. Yue Qing is just a resentful person who suffered an unexpected disaster and had to raise someone else's child for several years. She is only 24 years old now, has her own career and will have her own family in the future. She should not be dragged down by two strange children.
I heard that she even sold all her brand-name bags and jewelry in order to raise her children.
And she has no relationship with the child's biological parents.
Jiang Hechang, who had been taught a lesson by his youngest son many times, was deeply moved and felt that he should really change his mindset. He was not as sensible as a little girl.
So he pushed the cards back and said, "No matter what, you shouldn't pay for this money. Keep it for yourself."
For some reason, Jiang Hechang always felt that he had done something wrong. This was clearly not his intention before he came.
After thinking about it, he felt that he should not take the blame this time. Even if he wanted to take the child back, Jiang Sui should do it!
So he went with the flow: "Investigating you is my responsibility as a grandfather to my child, but now in the Jiang family, my words don't count. All matters, big or small, are decided by Jiang Sui. You can discuss whether you want this card or when the child will return to the Jiang family with him. I remember that you two have a good relationship."
It was originally a good idea, but your son confessed his love to me in London two days ago.
Yueqing's scalp tingles when he thinks about it.
If he meets Jiang Sui again, it will definitely cause bigger trouble and become complicated.
By the way, the bracelet that Jiang Sui gave me also needs to be returned.
But from what she heard from Mr. Jiang, she knew he really wanted to take the child back.
Yes, that is indeed the result.
"Mr. Jiang," Yue Qing explained tactfully, "Jiang Sui and I had some unpleasantness recently, so it might not be appropriate for us to meet. Besides, I temporarily postponed my work and will be back soon."
Jiang Hechang had no idea his son was traveling back and forth between the two places all day. He assumed Yue Qing had lost contact with Jiang Sui after leaving the country. Hearing this, he couldn't help but frown: "Is he being rude to you?"
It's polite, but the ultimate goal may not be very polite.
Yue Qing really didn't know how to say it: "I will find a way to explain it to him."
"Le...child."
Jiang Hechang, who had no daily communication with his son, had a preconceived notion and knew very well what kind of strange temper his son had. He didn't even care about his own father, let alone a little girl from Yueqing. He must have suffered a lot from her in the past.
Thinking of this, he felt even more guilty.
She had to travel back and forth between two countries for her child's sake, and had to spend a lot of time and effort to deal with Jiang Sui, that bad-tempered scoundrel. It was really hard for her.
Jiang Hechang tried his best to make his tone more casual, but after all, he was still not very proficient: "I have seen the two children. You have put a lot of effort into raising them. I am very grateful for your treatment of Jiang Yan and Yue Qing's children. I will compensate them for what I owe. So, I will take them home first, and you can go back to work without worry."
Yueqing blinked.
I thought that Mr. Jiang was very tactful in his words and knew how to save face.
He is different from the old-fashioned and selfish old man that Grandpa and Jiang Suizhi talk about.
She tried to appear less out of control: "Of course."
After a few seconds, he stood up again, holding the documents on the table, and said softly, "I've booked a flight for tonight, and time is a bit tight, so I'll go home and tell the kids first."
"So anxious?"
Didn’t you just get off the plane?
"Yeah." Yue Qing twitched his lips, "Time is tight."
Seeing that she was really anxious to leave, Jiang Hechang quickly took the remaining cards and chased after her, stuffing them into her hands: "Keep the cards. I said I'm giving them to you, so it's yours."
Yueqing held the card.
This card is not just for paying back money; it is a growth fund she left for her two children as an "aunt".
Since Mr. Jiang doesn't want it, just give it to Jiang Sui along with the gift.
After Yue Qing left, Jiang Hechang also left with a very wonderful expression. He felt that he had finally done something right.
I'll go back and ask the nanny to clean up and make room for two children. I'll also need to buy a lot of things. It would be best to hire a few professional childcare nannies. Even if the children are only brought back for a few days, they will have to come back to see their grandfather later.
And he felt that he would definitely be able to raise the child better than Jiang Suizhi.
But after they left, they had no idea that this scene had been photographed by the store employees and sent to Lin Shengxi who was far away in the UK.
Ever since Lin Shengxi started investigating the child's whereabouts, he had informed the owner of this store that he must be notified if there was any movement.
The store owner didn't know that the results of the investigation had come out, but when he saw Jiang Hechang, he immediately remembered what happened that year.
So he hurriedly sent a message to Lin Shengxi: "Mr. Lin, Mr. Jiang Hechang, the old man from the Jiang family, came to our store again. I saw him put the card into Miss Yueqing's hand. Miss Yueqing didn't look happy when she left."
At this moment, Lin Shengxi was sleeping soundly.
Since coming to the UK to work, he has been busy every day, especially since Jiang Suizhi came over these few days and worked like crazy to speed up the progress, making him fall asleep almost as soon as he touched the pillow.
He never imagined that the sky would fall down when he woke up.
Yueqing did not go home immediately, but went to the kindergarten. The children were about to finish school. She had told Sister Wang that she would pick up the children today.
When the two little babies walked out hand in hand, they saw their aunt standing at the door at a glance!
My aunt is so beautiful, more beautiful than anyone around her!
Not caring that the teacher was still beside them, the two kids rushed out the door, "Auntie! We are here!"
Yue Qing's eyes were always on them. When he heard the voice, he raised his hand and waved, reminding them not to run around and to listen to the teacher.
After the initial excitement wore off, the two kids suppressed their excitement and lined up beside the teacher.
It was not until they walked out of the school gate that the two children hugged their aunt's hands on the left and right and rubbed them against each other.
"Auntie, An An misses you so much!"
"Brother wants to too."
"Will Auntie come spend the weekend with us? Let's call Great Grandpa!"
"No rush." Yue Qing took their schoolbags and put them in the car, then fastened their safety seats for them. "It's just you and me today, okay?"
"good!"
When the two kids got home, they ran back to their room and took out the candy jar they had saved. They usually had enough candy to eat, but this was a reward from their teacher, so they wanted to leave it for their aunt first.
Yueqing made an appointment with Sister Wang and asked her to come over at seven o'clock in the evening, so there was only her and the two children at home.
She cooked in the kitchen as usual, and the two children brought small stools and sat on both sides of the kitchen, distributing candies on the small table.
"This time, Auntie, eat here. The teacher said that if I study hard, she will give me more." Little Le Jia pushed all the candies to the side of the table, along with a small pile of cookies. "These cookies are also delicious. Auntie, eat more."
When Yueqing looked back during the cooking break, the two kids were still talking to themselves for a long time without any response.
It's the same as before, nothing has changed.
She didn't dare look directly at the two children, for she was worried that she wouldn't be able to say much, so she asked gently, "Did you like the grandfather who came the other day?"
New grandpa?
"I like it." Meibao answered happily, "There are lots of toys, and grandpa gets his ears pulled just like us."
"Grandpa, Second Grandpa, and Uncle, you like it too, right?"
"Hmmmm!"
Yue Qing lowered her eyes: "Remember what my aunt told you before, if other relatives were kind to you, what would you do?"
"Let's sleep together!" Little Le Jia raised his hand and replied, "Grandpa, come and sleep on the new bed!"
"Great Grandpa has a big house." Yue Qing said slowly, "That way he won't have to sleep with Second Grandpa, and he won't have to pull Grandpa's ears. Do you want to go to his house and sleep with him?"
For Zaizai, his aunt had said that the grandfathers were all family, and as long as the family was together, they could be anywhere, so he nodded without thinking and said, "Let's go!"
"But An An still wants to sleep with her aunt." Meibao said.
Yue Qing served the dishes and smiled, "It's time to eat."
It had been a while since they had eaten the food cooked by their aunt. The two kids ate voraciously, with food all over their mouths. Yueqing stared at them intently.
Until my sister noticed something was wrong: "Why isn't my aunt eating?"
"Eat." Yue Qing took a sip of the soup, then said softly, "Baby, Grandpa will come to pick you up and take you home with him later."
An An was puzzled: "What about my aunt?"
"Auntie still has to go to work."
An An tried hard to put the biggest piece of meat on the table into her aunt's bowl, feeling very distressed: "Aunt, you have worked hard."
Work is really the most annoying thing.
"Can't we do this now?" Little Le Jia still felt confused. "Why do we have to go to Grandpa's house?"
"Because Grandpa is also family, and his home is also your home."
An An added leisurely: "That's my aunt's home too."
Yueqing lowered his eyes and smiled.
She finally gave up on telling the truth to her children, just as she had hidden the truth about their children's father.
Because children of this age have not yet learned to deal with such complex relationships, and do not know how to understand those principles.
They only care about those close to them and only know how to rely on others.
What made Yue Qing feel more at ease was that their understanding of relatives was very simple. They felt that as long as they were relatives, they were a family, so they were not so opposed to going to the Jiang family.
That's fine.
She was really bad at saying goodbye.
After dinner, she cleared the dishes and it was time for Sister Wang to come over. Seeing that the time agreed with the children's grandfather was almost up, the two children were still enthusiastically packing their toys and clothes in their rooms, looking forward to going to their grandfather's house.
"Auntie!" An An ran to Yue Qing when they were halfway through packing. "We'll take Auntie's clothes too. When she comes back, we'll go to Grandpa's house!"
Where can I find clothes in Yueqing?
No, the only thing was that "gift". Because she couldn't take it to England, she washed it and put it in the room.
The children were already holding the storybooks that had been placed in the room before.
Little Le Jia said, "Take it with you and tell stories to Auntie."
Yue Qing looked at the dress, her throat aching so much that she said after a long while, "My aunt needs to wear the dress, so you can't take it away."
An An asked in shock, "Is it for work?"
Doesn’t my aunt dislike it?
"Yes." Yue Qing walked over and put away the clothes, along with the gifts from before, "Auntie, take all of these with you."
But Sister Wang noticed something was wrong: "Miss Yueqing..."
"I have to catch a plane soon." Yue Qing looked back at her, "Just go with them. Here... you don't have to come back."
She will find a way to transfer the house to Jiang Suizhi.
Sister Wang opened her mouth and asked, "Does Mr. Jiang know about this?"
No, it's impossible to know.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Yueqing didn't stay any longer.
She put away all her things, leaned over and hugged the two kids who were still discussing how to pack their things: "Le Jia, Le An."
The babies seemed to sense something and looked back in confusion.
But he was blindfolded by his aunt.
I only heard my aunt say in my ear: "Goodbye."
"Goodbye, Auntie~"
The two cubs did not make any noise or quarrel, because they knew that their aunt was working hard, and they took the initiative to hug her: "We will listen to Grandpa and wait for you to come back."
Yue Qing was unable to give them a definite answer, but whispered, "Auntie will try her best to prepare it."
Try hard to find the truth of the matter and come to them without any worries.
He quickly put down his hands and hurried away with all his things.
Sister Wang stood there in shock.
Wait, what happened?
She hurriedly took out her cell phone and called Mr. Jiang, but the person on the other end didn't pick up until the second ring.
"Boss Jiang!" Sister Wang didn't care about anything else and walked into another room, lowering her voice. "Did you have an argument with Miss Yueqing? She packed up all her things and left."
Although there is not much here in Yueqing.
After finally falling asleep, Jiang Suiji was woken up in the middle of the night and asked: "?"
He sat up fully awake: "Isn't she in London?"
"He's back," Sister Wang said. "He said he'd send the child to your old house. Mr. Jiang will be here to pick him up soon!"
“???”
Jiang Suizhi couldn't understand how he could have offended Yue Qing so much that she had to return home overnight, unless... he said that he didn't mention Jiang Yan.
grass.
He hung up the phone and without even having time to put on his coat, he quickly opened his phone to book a flight back home.
I called Lin Shengxi again, but he didn't pick up until the third time.
"The meeting has been postponed." Jiang Sui said without thinking.
"Oh...oh?" Lin Shengxi's voice was filled with weariness. After a few seconds, he reacted and sat up. "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"I need to return home for something."
"Oh." Lin Shengxi glanced at the time, but at this moment he saw a message from home. He clicked it and his eyes suddenly became clearer. "Brother, is your dad in trouble?"
Jiang Suizhi: "My dad?"
"I received news that Uncle Jiang had a very unpleasant argument with Yue Qing at the private restaurant and even gave her a card." Lin Shengxi was completely awake. "What's going on?"
“…”
Jiang then gritted his teeth and said, "Give her the card?"
It’s Jiang Hechang again!
