"Wantang, we haven't finished discussing this morning's matter. Let's go to the study and talk."
Han Ji still had something important to discuss with her, so even if Jiang Yun didn't give him the opportunity, he would have taken the initiative to drive them out.
As soon as they sat down in the study, Han Ji spoke first: "Wantang, tell me about the fire at the Gong family that year."
Bai Shuixian knew he would ask this. She recalled the voices and smiles of her parents and brothers. Her gentle eyes were filled with grief, and her voice trembled: "Han Ji, the fire at the Gong family was not an accident, it was caused by someone. My parents and two brothers did not die accidentally in the fire, they were killed by someone who broke into the house."
The Han family father and son never believed that all the members of the Gong family died accidentally in the fire. They also did not believe that the fire that year was a sudden one, but all traces were burned away by the fire.
"Who did it?"
Han Ji's voice was so deep that it made people's heart palpitate.
"Han Ji, don't ask anymore." Bai Shuixian didn't want him to know, nor did she want to cause trouble for the Han family.
She didn't say anything, but Han Ji kept asking, "Wantang, is it the Cui family?"
"no."
The Cui family was Bai Shuixian's ex-husband's family. She wiped her red eyes and said, "My divorce from Cui Zhiyuan was simply a breakdown of our relationship, and we parted peacefully and amicably. I was the one who initiated the divorce, and all property and assets were clearly divided during the divorce, without any arguments or conflicts. When the Gong family incident occurred, I had been divorced from him for half a month, and the family affairs had nothing to do with him or the Cui family."
"If it's not the Cui family, then who is it?" Han Ji continued to ask.
"Han Ji, don't ask anymore."
Bai Shuixian was somewhat helpless, her gentle eyes filled with grief and sorrow. "The Gong family's blood feud is deep and deep, and we, mother and daughter, will personally avenge it. We will not let any of the masterminds or accomplices who killed my parents and brothers go free."
In Han Ji's memory, she was a gentle, intellectual and happy person. Every time he met her, she always smiled sweetly, as pure as a blooming jasmine flower.
She was well protected by the Gong family. Her parents and brothers loved her very much. She was like a delicate flower grown in a greenhouse.
She received the best elite education since childhood, is proficient in both Chinese and Western cultures, has dignified and elegant conduct, treats people kindly and politely. She is a true noble lady from an aristocratic family and the most beautiful dream in the hearts of many men of her generation.
But now, her eyes are no longer as clear and bright as before. They are full of vicissitudes and sorrow. Her smile is no longer as bright as before, but is filled with deep pain and bitterness.
Seeing her like this, Han Ji felt heartbroken, "Wantang, I can help you."
"Han Ji, I know you are no longer the clueless kid you used to be, and the Han family is no longer weak. I know that as long as I ask, the Han family will do their best to help me."
"It's just that the Gong family has a deep blood feud, and I think we, mother and daughter, will avenge it ourselves."
Bai Shuixian didn't want to cause trouble for the Han family. All the achievements the Han family had achieved today were earned by them and their sons who had fought for their lives. She was grateful for the Han family's kindness, but she would never implicate them.
"Wantang, my father once said that without Grandpa Gong, there would be no him, and there would be no Han family today."
"The Gong family suffered a tragedy, and my father has felt guilty and blamed himself for these years. Now that he knows you are alive, and is sure that Uncle Gong and the others were killed by evildoers, he can't just sit there and watch you take the risk of revenge."
Han Ji knew her concerns and guessed that the person who attacked the Gong family was of high status and must be a powerful figure in the Beijing circle.
They have been secretly investigating the Gong family's affairs over the years, but they have not found many useful clues. This further proves that the person who took action was already extremely powerful back then, otherwise the matter would not have been handled so cleanly.
Bai Shuixian was touched by the Han family's kindness. She knew that a simple rejection would make Uncle Han feel uncomfortable. After thinking for a moment, she said to him, "Han Ji, I spoke to Uncle Han on the phone this morning, but it's not convenient to talk to him about these things over the phone."
"I have plans for revenge. Please tell Uncle Han that I won't act impulsively."
"I haven't yet discovered the identity of the mastermind behind the attack on the Gong family, but I'm sure he's in Kyoto. He must be someone in a high position, and he's definitely caught up in a power struggle. Once we've confirmed his identity, we can ask Uncle Han to step in and help."
Han Ji nodded and agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I will tell my dad, and when the time comes, the Han family will do their best."
"I won't say thank you to you, so as not to make things awkward."
Bai Shuixian smiled slightly, a smile that was a little bitter. After thinking for a while, she pleaded again: "Han Ji, I have another thing I want to ask of you."
"Wantang, go ahead." Han Ji stood straight, staring at her with sharp eyes.
"If that day comes, please help me protect Linglong and the child."
Bai Shuixian has no foresight and cannot predict what will happen in the future. Although her daughter has inherited special abilities and the ability to protect herself, she may not be able to avoid accidents in time when they occur.
Her daughter and the unborn grandson are the only remaining bloodline of the Gong family. They are more important than her own life.
Listening to her instructions, which were almost like instructions for her last wishes, Han Ji felt as if his heart was stuffed with cotton. "Wantang, Linglong is your daughter, and the child in her belly is a descendant of the Gong family. Even if you don't tell me, I will protect them well, and Jingchuan will also protect his wife and children well."
"Don't think too much about anything else. If you don't want me to get involved, I respect you and won't interfere. Just go ahead and do it. I will also protect you and won't let any bad guys hurt you again."
"Thanks."
Bai Shuixian's eyes were red, and she didn't know what to say except these two words.
Han Ji had never seen her cry before. Seeing the tears in her eyes and thinking of the suffering and humiliation she had endured over the years, he felt so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.
He didn't know why God treated her like this. She was so gentle, beautiful and kind, but the bastard Cui Zhiyuan got her but didn't cherish her, causing her to suffer in her marriage. Before she could recover, she had to watch her parents and brothers die tragically. After finally escaping, she fell into the hands of a scumbag devil.
Han Ji didn't dare to think about the suffering she had endured over the years.
Bai Shuixian wiped away her tears, forcing all the pain back into her heart, and raised a slightly stiff smile: "Let's not talk about the Gong family's affairs. It's not going well now, but it will get better in the future."
"It will get better in the future."
Han Ji suppressed the discomfort in his heart and changed the subject: "Wantang, Linglong is Cui Zhiyuan's daughter, right?"
Bai Shuixian nodded: "Yes, after something happened in my mother's family, I found out that I was pregnant."
"Cui Zhiyuan, that bastard."
Han Ji's hands were cracking from the joints, and he gritted his teeth, wishing he could rush over and grab the man and beat him up.
