Chapter 869: Marital Infidelity
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xie Hui went to the Jiang family several times, but he did not see Jiang Hai. As time passed, Xie Hui gave up.
He and his wife had been taking care of Jiang Yu, but when Jiang Yu was two years old, his wife suddenly had a bad illness. In order to treat her illness, he spent all the family’s savings.
Xie Hui had no choice but to send Jiang Yu to an orphanage.
However, Xie Hui’s wife’s illness had been delayed for more than ten years without being cured. In the end, she passed away and the family was still in debt.
Xie Hui could only accept his fate and pay off the debt. He was also unable to bring Jiang Yu back. However, he could not bear to leave Jiang Yu alone in the orphanage for more than ten years. Therefore, he took a gamble. He went to the Jiang family to find Jiang Hai and begged him to bring Jiang Yu back to take care of her.
Surprisingly, Jiang Hai didn’t refuse this time. Instead, he readily agreed to Xie Hui’s request.
Xie Hui thought that Jiang Hai had finally realized his responsibility as a father. However, Jiang Hai’s plan was to take Jiang Yu back and announce to the public that she was his lost daughter.
This was because he wanted to establish a fatherly image in front of outsiders. At the same time, he wanted to use Jiang Yu’s identity as his daughter to find a good opportunity for the Jiang family to marry.
However, Xie Hui didn’t know about this.
“Jiang Yu, Grandpa has let you down.” Xie Hui wiped away his tears, “If I knew it would be so hard for you to return to the Jiang family, I wouldn’t have begged Jiang Hai to bring you back to the Jiang Family! Even if I had to sell everything I had, I would have paid off my external debt and brought you back.”
“It’s okay. I didn’t have a hard time.” Jiang Yu hugged Xie Hui. “I have already severed my relationship with the Jiang family. Therefore, I am no longer Jiang Hai’s daughter.”
“That’s good.” Xie Hui nodded.
After learning about Kang die from Xie Hui, he was surprised to learn another thing — if his grandfather had brought him to the Jiang family after his mother died in childbirth, if he had been kicked out by Wei Juan, it meant that Jiang Hai had been with Wei Juan during their marriage.
“Jiang Yu, is there anything else?” Xie Hui rubbed his hands awkwardly. “If there’s nothing else, you can go back first. My place isn’t big, and the environment isn’t good. It’s almost time for dinner. You should go and eat.”
“Okay.” Jiang Yu saw Xie Hui’s intention to chase her away. She knew that he was afraid that she would dislike this place, so she didn’t stay any longer. She stood up and took out a business card and placed it on the table.
“Grandpa, if it weren’t for you and grandma saving my mother, I wouldn’t be where I am today. So no matter what kind of person you are, you are still my grandpa. This is my business card. If you need anything, please call me.”
“Okay, okay.” Xie Hui held the business card, but he didn’t have any intention of asking Jiang Yu for help.
He already owed her enough, so how could he ask her for help instead.
Jiang Yu left Xie Hui’s house and returned to Mo Garden.
Mo Long had not arrived home yet, so there were only a few servants at home.
Jiang Yu thought about it and called Xu Ye and sister Xia to arrange a time and place to meet.
About twenty minutes later, the three of them met at the nearest coffee shop.
“How was it? Did you find out something else?” Sister Xia asked.
“I found the family that adopted my mother. I just came back from there.” Jiang Yu took a sip of the coffee in front of her, “I already know the general story. From the time my mother was adopted until I returned to the Jiang family, it was such a long time.”
“How did it go? What was the result?” Sister Xia couldn’t wait to know the truth.
Jiang Yu told her everything she heard from Xie Hui, including the fact that she suspected Jiang Hai of having an affair.
“What?!” Sister Xia was indignant, “So your mother has suffered like this before? This Jiang Hai isn’t human either. He doesn’t even want his own daughter? And he actually dared to have an affair within marriage? How can he be so shameless?”
“Xie Hui is a witness. We still need him for our follow-up plans,” Xu Ye said, “Jiang Hai’s cheating in marriage is a weakness of his. For a big family like the Kang family, if their son-in-law dares to cheat, it’s undoubtedly tarnishing their reputation.”
“But we don’t have any evidence?” Sister Xia grasped the main point, “This happened 20 years ago. Even if we use this matter to confront him, he won’t admit it, right? Moreover, Wei Juan has been married to Jiang Hai for a long time and has been in the socialite circle for a long time. She would never admit that she is a mistress.”
