CH 144

In order to prevent Jiang Tao and Guo Xiuyu from fighting again, each one was allocated to a different ward, with a few wards in between, and the distance was quite far.

Jiang Nian first went to see Jiang Tao. There were several wounds on Jiang Tao’s face, mainly scratches left by fingernails, but old age and anger were what really led him to the hospital, as he fainted because of an anger attack and was sent to the hospital for rescue. He was now lying on the bed with an IV drip hanging beside him, looking weak and tired from the vicissitudes of life. When he saw Jiang Nian coming, he said angrily: “Guo Xiuyu, she thinks she has overturned the sky! I won’t leave her a penny of my money!”

Jiang Nian said: “She is your legal wife, and she has children with you and takes care of the family for you. Even if you aren’t willing, if Ms. Guo Xiuyu appeals, you can’t “not give her a penny”.”

Jiang Tao was so angry that he almost jumped out of bed: “That’s Laozi’s hard-earned money, and I don’t have her share! Even if Heavenly King* comes, I won’t give it!”

(*天王老子, it’s used to mean that no matter what, smth won’t happen for sure.)

The expression on his face was really funny, but Jiang Nian didn’t have the heart to listen to Jiang Tao complaining about the world, she turned her head and went to see Guo Xiuyu.

Guo Xiuyu didn’t have the good luck of Jiang Tao. After all, she was used to being pampered. Even if Jiang Tao was old, she was not his opponent. She was suffering a lot now. There were obvious bruises on her cheeks, eyes, and mouth. She has asked the doctor to take pictures of her miserable state and the injuries on her body. After the injury appraisal was done, and the evidence of Jiang Tao’s marital violence was in her hands, even if he filed a lawsuit, Jiang Tao would not be able to keep his propriety!

She was really smart.

Just when she saw Jiang Nian, the already unsightly face became uglier, and she said coldly: “What are you doing? You came here to mock me?”

The bag Jiang Nian was a limited edition of the fragrance family, and it was given by her. The gold and silver jewelry belonged to the T family, and she personally picked it up and sent it. Even the Patek Philippe watch made her heart ache for a long time after it was sent out.

Now that Jiang Nian came to see her in this glittering suit, did she deliberately want to piss her off?

Jiang Nian leaned against the wall with her hands folded over her chest, and she made no effort to conceal the schadenfreude on her face: “Otherwise? It’s not too late for a gentleman to take revenge after ten years. This year just happens to be the tenth. You should pay for the evil you’ve done.”

How could Guo Xiuyu not know what Jiang Nian referred to? Ten years prior, she did have malicious intent towards Jiang Nian, but wasn’t her plan unsuccessful? It’s just a matter of a bit of physical suffering, nothing more, why come to seek revenge on her?

Guo Xiuyu was furious: “Jiang Nian, you’re going too far, even if I did something wrong, I didn’t cause you any damage. I sincerely apologized to you, and I’ve given you more than ten million worth of gifts! What are you dissatisfied with? You are too narrow-minded !”

Jiang Nian sneered: “You talk about how innocent you are, do you really think you are a good person? Then I’ll do the math for you, If I hadn’t fought my way out of the Jiang family back then, what kind of life would I be living today. I don’t think you would be soft-hearted. Whether I wanted to or not, I would have been escorted by you and Jiang Tao to Yang Hai! Yang Hai is your concubine! You had a plan, that, after I marry Yang Hai, he will not only continue to imprison me for you, but my heritage as Xiao Yi’s widow will also be seized by him! Not only that, because I will leave the Jiang family, and Jiang Tao is extremely disgusted with me, Jiang Boxue will become Jiang Tao’s only beloved son. When Jiang Tao dies, the Jiang family’s property will be yours and your son’s rightfully, you do not have to make any effort, and you can get two huge sums of money! You calculated all this and still dare to say you have no malice?”

Guo Xiuyu opened her eyes wide, and she was extremely horrified.

This Jiang Nian actually knew her plan? She was really thinking about marrying her to Yang Hai, because not only would she get rid of Jiang Nian, but she would also be able to seize her property. More importantly, Jiang Tao would hate Jiang Nian, then there would be no Jiang Nian in the will. With how she planned things out, everything in Jiang Tao’s name could only be her son’s, and isn’t what’s her son’s hers?

Her plan could be said to be foolproof. The only fly in the ointment is that she did not account for Jiang Nia’s sudden change of behavior. The latter suddenly said that she figured it out and that she would like to marry Yang Hai. As Guo Xiuyu was happy, she relaxed her vigilance for a period of time in which Jiang Nian could ask her aunt to give her a piece of bread, then things got out of hand after that.

Jiang Nian kicked the bedroom door, carrying a big wooden stick all the way from upstairs. Her aunt and uncle’s bodyguards were kicked to the ground by her, and they were so frightened that they all retreated. Even Jiang Tao saying that he would cut off the father-daughter relationship with her did not make her hesitate for a second.

Jiang Nian returned to the Xiao family, and since then she has never contacted the Jiang family again. Although Guo Xiuyu was heartbroken for the huge amount of money she lost, as long as Jiang Nian didn’t come back, Jiang Tao would always hate her. Then everything in the Jiang family still belonged to her son, not to mention that she still had the memory of her previous life, so she and Yang Hai could make a hefty sum of money together.

However, Jiang Nian was getting more and more powerful. The shares in her hands have already more than doubled. Jiang Tao was eager to move, and even she was envious and somewhat greedy, otherwise, she would not have cooperated with Jiang Tao to apologize to Jiang Nian…

She planned well, but Jiang Nian came prepared, and she took advantage of their greedy hearts to achieve today’s results!

Guo Xiuyu was unwilling and angry, but she’d rather be beaten to death than to confess: “This is just your speculation, it has nothing to do with me, don’t frame me!”

Jiang Nian didn’t care about Guo Xiuyu’s denial, after all, she would feel strange if the other party confessed generously: “What you think, you know best in your heart. You can deny anyone, but can you deny yourself? If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself. If you don’t even have a conscience, you will be worse than a beast.”

Guo Xiuyu bit her scalp, and repeated, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Jiang Nian opened the zipper in the bag, revealing a corner of the document inside, then looked at Guo Xiuyu with a half-smiling smile: “Tell me, if I gave this to Jiang Tao to read, what else would you have left?”

Guo Xiuyu’s eyes were full of terror, and her heart was uncertain. No matter how much she forced herself to calm down, she still felt inevitable panic at this moment. What is this? So the paternity test that was sent to her home every day recently was really sent by Jiang Nian? She stopped torturing her, was she going to take it to Jiang Tao?

“What’s in your bag?”

“Don’t you know everything, why ask.”

“…How would I know if you don’t show it to me?”

“It’s the same for everyone. After I show it to Jiang Tao, you will know what it is.”

After all, Jiang Nian stopped talking with Guo Xiuyu, and turned around with a smile.

“No—Jiang Nian! Jiang Nian!! Jiang Nian, you come back to me!!” Guo Xiuyu shouted loudly, unable to care so much about hiding anymore. She pulled the infusion needle and ran out of bed to find Jiang Nian. If the paternity test was given by Jiang Tao, how much money will she get even if she wins the lawsuit? Can Jiang Boxue still be the single son of the three generations of the Jiang family? Can he still inherit the Jiang family justifiably?

Then her decades of hard work will be ruined!

Guo Xiuyu followed and chased out. Jiang Nian hadn’t reached Jiang Tao’s ward. In the corridor, Guo Xiuyu shouted, “Jiang Nian, stop!”

Jiang Nian looked back and asked, “What else do you want to say?”

What else could Guo Xiuyu say? Of course, she wanted to get back the thing in Jiang Nian’s bag. Jiang Nian couldn’t have shown it to her for no reason. This thing is definitely the paternity test that she has received every day before. To threaten her like this, except for Jiang Nian, she can’t think of anyone else.

She knew that Jiang Nian was doing all this now for revenge, because of her original plan. She couldn’t be hard on her, she could only show weakness, and she didn’t dare to be hard on Jiang Nian. She lowered her head: “Jiang Nian, I was wrong before, I was really wrong, you can scold me and beat me, I don’t want to die, I just ask you to let the child grow up happily because he is still young.”

Jiang Nian said: ” I hope you can remember that no matter what kind of life Jiang Boxue will live in the future, it is because of you. Because you are a mother who has bad intentions, he will be in today’s situation. You are still not awake, and you still want to put the wrong on my head?”

Guo Xiuyu was speechless and struggled: “As long as you don’t hand that, he will have a perfect childhood, he will grow up under the love of his parents, he will be a happy child, I beg you, please don’t!”

Jiang Nian sneered, ignoring her and turning away.

Guo Xiuyu called out a few more times but could not stop Jiang Nian. She was about to reach Jiang Tao’s ward. She couldn’t bear it any longer and rushed up, trying to snatch the paternity test in Jiang Nian’s bag. She wouldn’t allow years of planning to be all for naught! Since Jiang Nian doesn’t agree, she can only rely on herself!

With a fierce look in her eyes, she rushed to Jiang Nian desperately!

“Ah-!!!”

Guo Xiuyu didn’t even touch the corner of Jiang Nian’s clothes, instead, a man who appeared suddenly grabbed her wrist and pushed her mercilessly. She stepped back uncontrollably and fell to the ground.

At this moment, Jiang Nian was protected in the arm of a tall and handsome man. He hugged her as carefully as a treasure.

“Jiang Nian, are you okay? Did that woman hurt you?”

Jiang Nian leaned against the man’s chest, and could clearly hear his chaotic and fast heartbeat thumping rapidly! thump! thump! When she raised her head, she could see his tight jaw as he looked at her nervously.

“Guo Xiuyu didn’t do anything before you showed up, I wasn’t hurt.”

He breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn’t help pressing Jiang Nian into his arms, “If you get hurt in front of me, I will blame myself to death.”

Jiang Nian pondered for a moment and felt that the timing was really good. Should she pretend to be weak and go with the flow?

Jiang Nian was still thinking about it, when Guo Xiuyu, who was lying on the ground, saw Xiao Zheng and Jiang Nian hugging intimately, and suddenly sneered: ” Jiang Nian, others would think of how lofty you are, but it turns out that you hooked with your brother-in-law. Aren’t you shameless?”

Xiao Zheng froze, looking at Guo Xiuyu with increasingly unkind eyes. He was about to speak when he saw Jiang Nian suddenly grabbing his hand, leaning on him, then snuggling in his arms. She then looked down at Guo Xiuyu and said, “So what? What happened to Xiao Zheng and me? We didn’t plot against anyone, let alone feel sorry for anyone. We’re different from you. When you were with Jiang Tao, my mother wasn’t dead yet, you were the mistress, and Jiang Tao cheated in marriage. Later, you did not want to repent, cheated again in marriage, and pretended that the child was Jiang Tao’s while being pregnant with someone else’s child. In the past ten years, Jiang Tao has been deceived all over the place. What? You call me shameless, how shameless are you?”

Guo Xiuyu’s originally angry expression slowly turned into panic. She looked at Jiang Tao who came out behind Jiang Nian, and the old man looked at her blankly and angrily, “What are you talking about? Boxue is not my son? Boxue is Guo Xiuyu and another man’s son?”

Guo Xiuyu hurriedly denied, “No, no, Jiang Nian framed me!”

Jiang Nian no longer concealed it, and took out the paternity test in the bag and handed it to Jiang Tao: “You can see for yourself.”

Jiang Tao opened it and took a look, it was really a paternity test showing that he and Jiang Boxue did not have a blood relationship. He was so dizzy with anger that he could barely stand, and shouted loudly: “Guo Xiuyu, how dare you lie to me, I’m going to kill you slut! ”

…

Jiang Tao and Guo Xiuyu had another fight, which almost caused the hospital to fall out. It became a topic of conversation and a joke for everyone. In the end, both of them were sent to the emergency room. Fortunately, they were in the hospital, otherwise, they might have been dead on the way.

However, Xiao Zheng couldn’t pay them any mind. He only cared about Jiang Nian and what she said in his arms.

She admitted it, she actually admitted that they were together!

Xiao Zheng was so excited that his hands were shaking, and he didn’t even dare to blink his eyes, because he was afraid that all this was just his illusion, and that he would suddenly wake up and realize that such a happy moment was just a mere dream.

“Jiang Nian, Jiang Nian, are you real?”

“Fake.”

“Jiang Nian, Jiang Nian…”

“Shut up.”

“Jiang Nian!”

“…”

On the way back, Xiao Zheng transformed into a puppy again. He kept holding her hand from the moment they got in the car, stared at her with shining eyes, and called her name from time to time, making Jiang Nian want to ignore him.

He suddenly touched her cheek: “Jiang Nian, are you for real?”

Jiang Nian rolled her eyes, reclined back on the seat, and closed her eyes to rest.

But as soon as she closed her eyes, the man approached and sniffed her face like a puppy. Jiang Nian asked, “What are you doing?”

Xiao Zheng smiled suddenly. Innocent and harmless, only the simplest joy and satisfaction remained in his eyes.

“Your face is so warm, and your smell is so fragrant. It’s a smell I’m familiar with. It’s really you, Jiang Nian.”

“…” Forget it, she should go to bed.

Xiao Zheng looked at her, lowered his head, and kissed her lips, the tip of his tongue crossed her lips, and licked her like a puppy. Jiang Nian suddenly opened her eyes, how dare he kiss her? This little brat is so brave!

He smiled again, still innocent and harmless, handsome and brilliant.

This kid is about to go to the home base!

Must counterattack!
