Chapter 173: Your Future Shouldn’t End Here
Even if Jiang Ning transmigrated here.
But those memories felt tangible, making her truly feel the love unique to parents.
Even through this “indifferent” family, Jiang Ning felt that these memories were wrong.
“Jiang Ning’s” family shouldn’t be like this.
It should be affectionate parents, a sister who dotes on her younger siblings, and a little brother who only follows his sisters around like a tagalong.
Not Jiang Li, who attempted suicide by jumping into the river, lived a bumpy life for twenty years, and grew up in pain.
Nor Jiang Yan, who was neglected by his parents, hated and beaten by his mother, and grew up isolated in a cold environment.
It seemed this family should have been happy from the beginning.
It was just because of a specific plot that it was twisted alive, making everyone in the Jiang Family live in suffering.
“Aunt, Uncle will be fine, good people are blessed by heaven.”
Xie Jingyan’s gentle yet powerful voice sounded at the entrance to the operating room.
Madam Jiang sighed deeply: “Thank you, Little Xie. I also think my Old Jiang will be fine. He still promised that after he retires when he’s old, he’ll hand the company over to Ning Ning and take me around the world. He can’t break his promise.”
Jiang Ning inquired: “Mom, can you briefly explain what happened this time?”
Madam Jiang snapped back from the accident in her mind, and began recalling with lingering fear: “This morning, your father and I were at the company. Midway, his assistant came in and said that the president who was supposed to sign the contract with our company at the scheduled eleven o’clock had advanced it to ten. Your father and I hurriedly packed up at the company. Because it was too sudden and there was only half an hour, your father drove very hurriedly and didn’t notice a large truck coming from the side. He was hit like this to protect me. If at that time he… he…”
Madam Jiang couldn’t continue the rest.
Because she knew Father Jiang would not abandon her.
When he was drugged by his own mother and rolled in the sheets with a strange woman, he swore that he would never let her feel sad again.
He couldn’t forgive his own mother and couldn’t bear to see his mother die, so he locked Old Madam Jiang away in the countryside for life.
He worried about Madam Jiang’s mental state, fearing she would be stimulated, so he painfully ignored his eldest daughter. When Madam Jiang scolded and hit their son, fearing she would have a breakdown, he also chose silence.
He loved Mingzhu very much, enough to sacrifice his own life.
So more than twenty years ago, after Madam Jiang saw that heart-wrenching video, despite Father Jiang’s bitter pleas, she still chose to forgive.
Having seen how Father Jiang loved her the most, Madam Jiang didn’t believe her choice was wrong.
She didn’t believe her judgment of people was inaccurate.
Later on.
Father Jiang loved her for a full twenty-five years.
Never changing his heart.
Even at the last moment of his life.
What he wanted to protect was still her.
Madam Jiang covered her head, tears falling in big drops.
Old Madam Sui hurriedly comforted her: “Alright, alright, Mingzhu, let’s not think about it. It’ll be fine. Jiang Huan will be fine. He’s a blessed man.”
Jiang Ning didn’t want to stimulate Madam Jiang further, so she went to ask Old Master Sui: “Grandpa, where’s the driver at fault? Where is he?”
Old Master Sui sighed: “Police station. The police’s explanation is that the driver was fatigued driving. Since your father is still between life and death, the police haven’t given the punishment yet. Currently, the driver is in detention.”
Jiang Ning nodded: “I got it.”
She walked outward, and Old Master Sui hurriedly asked: “Ning Ning, where are you going?”
Jiang Ning only tossed down two words: “Police station.”
Then she left.
Xie Jingyan followed closely behind.
When Jiang Ning exited the hospital, a person ran out following the revolving door of the outpatient department.
“Sister, don’t go…”
Jiang Yan’s voice sounded from behind.
Jiang Ning stopped and turned her head.
Jiang Yan was three steps away from her, shaking his head at her with red eyes.
He wanted to say something, mouth open, but found he couldn’t make a sound anymore.
Jiang Ning quietly looked at him.
His eyes were full of conflict and pain, just like competing for consciousness inside his body with another person.
Jiang Ning walked to his side.
The youth was already a head taller than her.
Jiang Ning could only raise her hand to touch his head.
Jiang Ning curved her lips in a smile and leaned in to whisper softly: “Jiang Yan, actually you’ve known for a long time that I’m not the real Jiang Ning, right?”
Jiang Yan suddenly widened his eyes, pupils trembling.
Jiang Ning’s voice continued: “You guessed right. I’m not your real sister, but I’m happy to have met you all. And thank you for worrying about me. It’ll be fine. I won’t have an accident, and you shouldn’t either. Your future shouldn’t stop here.”
After saying that, she waved at Jiang Yan: “Goodbye, Jiang Yan.”
Jiang Ning ran toward Xie Jingyan not far away.
Her figure gradually blurred in Jiang Yan’s eyes.
He moved his lips and finally uttered: “You are my sister, so don’t go.”
But his murmur was destined not to be heard by Jiang Ning.
She brought Xie Jingyan to the police station.
Xie Jingyan turned his head and asked: “You suspect this is murder?”
Jiang Ning shrugged: “Yes, because the road my dad was driving on doesn’t allow large trucks into the city, and yet a fatigued-driving truck driver conveniently appeared. I have reason to suspect he’s someone an enemy hired to kill my dad. After all, if my dad dies, the huge Jiang Corporation will become a mess, and this driver would at most serve over a decade in prison. If the driver has money, he can get a reduced sentence and be out within ten years. Hiring someone with money to kill is way too common in the wealthy family world.”
Xie Jingyan thought carefully and suddenly realized Jiang Ning was right.
This possibility couldn’t be ruled out.
So Jiang Ning wanted to see this driver at fault.
But she didn’t see the driver; instead, she first saw Gu Lanli.
His clothes were wrinkled, and his body emitted a sour smell, showing that during his detention, he hadn’t even had time to take care of his personal hygiene.
Jiang Ning couldn’t help wrinkling her brow and stepped farther away from him.
A flash of hurt passed through Gu Lanli’s eyes, and he asked unwillingly: “Jiang Ning, do we really have to come to this? Clearly, as long as you give in a little, we can go back to being as good as before.”
“Why should I give in?” Jiang Ning sneered coldly.
She looked at Gu Lanli, feeling only irritation and disgust.
In the whole book, Gu Lanli was the stupidest person she had ever seen.
“Do you know why you were released after only a month in detention? That’s because your parents spent tens of millions to bail you out. It was clearly Su Wanyuan’s mistake, but you shamelessly took the blame. Do you think she would be grateful to you? While you were away, she already cozied up to the Huo Family young master, that rich young master even more powerful than you.” Jiang Ning’s voice was mocking.
Gu Lanli had been through hell in the detention room this time, without a mobile phone, not even knowing the time, every day dragging on like a year.
His only belief was to see Su Wanyuan after getting out.
Now Jiang Ning told him that Su Wanyuan had met a new young master during his detention.
He hurriedly shook his head: “Impossible! Wanyuan already promised me that as long as I help her this time, she’ll be with me forever.”
