Chapter 112: You Have Hidden the Truth Really Well All These Years
[She’s asking for eight hundred million yuan as soon as she opens her mouth. Why doesn’t Jiang Yuning just rob a bank instead?]
[Excuse me, but I’ve heard that the reason why Jiang Yuning has requested for eight hundred million yuan is because the Jiang family was left with a debt of this amount in the past. Someone had helped settle the debt on behalf of the Jiang family because Jiang Yuning was so young then. She probably wants that amount of money to pay off the debt.]
[Who knows exactly what the truth is anyway? It might end up slapping us all in the face once again.]
[Let’s just sit back and wait for the parties involved to step up and clarify this matter for themselves. If Ms. Ava really did take all the money belonging to the Jiang family, then to be honest, I think that Jiang Yuning is doing the right thing, then.]
[That’s right +1]
[It’s not easy to be part of prestigious and wealthy families.]
Fu Yahui was still trying to relax and loosen herself up when she suddenly received a phone call from her lawyer.
As soon as she heard that the agreement that she had signed with Jiang Yuning had been exposed to the media, Fu Yahui got up immediately and barged into Huo Yuxi’s bedroom without any hesitation at all. She grabbed Huo Yuxi by her hair and dragged her out of bed before pushing her to the ground. “Is there something wrong with your brain? Are you insane? How dare you expose my agreement with Jiang Yuning to the media?”
Huo Yuxi stood up slowly before giving Fu Yahui a tight slap across her face. “I dare you to try and lay a finger on me again.”
“I really want to know what is going on in that brain of yours. Do you really want to push your father and I to a dead end?”
“Wouldn’t that be great? I do not have much longer to live anyway,” Huo Yuxi sneered before continuing her sentence. “I used to hate Jiang Yuning because I thought that she had always wanted to snatch away everything that I had. I used to view her as my rival, but I finally understand something important. I had managed to get whatever I tried so hard to snatch away from Jiang Yuning not because I was better than her, but only because she did not want it. It had always been so, whether it was concerning Lu Zongye or you. I have always thought that the person that I had to exact revenge on was Jiang Yuning, but I was wrong. You are the most vicious person out of the whole lot of us! You could even abandon your own biological daughter and your own family.”
“The person that I should guard against and be most fearful of is you, Fu Yahui!”
“I admit that part of the reason why I have turned out this way today is my own fault, but the main culprit for the plight that I am in today is you! As my stepmother, you have always shunned your own responsibilities and refused to shower me with any love at all. If you had showed some care and concern towards me, I would not have been so desperate to seek for love, protection, and security. I would not have been so desperate to marry into a prestigious and wealthy family.”
“Now that I am ill, I thought that you would at least show some compassion towards me, but no. All you care about is how you should deal with Jiang Yuning, just so you can keep your secret safe. You do not care if I am alive or dead and you are not even concerned about your own biological daughter’s wellbeing. So, what else would I be afraid of right now?”
“Since you want me dead so badly…then, let’s die together!”
Fu Yahui was shocked to hear Huo Yuxi’s complaints and she quickly backed out of Huo Yuxi’s bedroom.
Crazy! She must be crazy!
Fu Yahui was anxious. She knew that she had to hold a press conference as soon as possible to reassure Dongheng Enterprise’s shareholders and to maintain stability of Dongheng Enterprise’s share prices in the market. She could not wait for the final notice that the police would not be filing the case against her. She needed to arrange for the press conference to be held tomorrow.
…
Jiang Yuning did not expect that Huo Yuxi to actually help her in this matter, which finally gave her some room to breathe.
The public opinion was now divided on this matter, with half of them taking Fu Yahui’s side and the other half backing Jiang Yuning up.
Later that night, as Jiang Yuning cuddled up against Lu Jingzhi in bed, she suddenly turned around and asked him, “Second brother, how much more information do you have about what exactly happened to the Jiang family in the past? Can you tell me everything that you know?”
Lu Jingzhi suddenly opened his eyes in the dark bedroom and he could not help but squeeze Jiang Yuning’s hand gently as he held it in his own hand.
“We can talk about that tomorrow. You should be more concerned about the actions Fu Yahui is about to take since her lawyer has already received false information that the police would not be filing the case against her. There will definitely be some movements from Dongheng Enterprise.”
“Why are you being so protective over me? Is it because things are not as simple as they seem? Did Fu Yahui not only embezzle the money belonging to Star Enterprise…was she also responsible for my father’s mysterious disappearance?” Jiang Yuning suddenly voiced out the suspicions that she already had for years.
