Chapter 421 - The Person Who Looked Similar To You Was Your Mother? (2/2)
Jiang Ruolan knew that Uncle Huang might not know the cause of her mother's death, but he must know some of the things that happened a few years before her mother committed suicide.
”Were you four years old when she died?” Uncle Huang hesitated for a moment and then turned to look at her.
Jiang Ruolan nodded.
Uncle Huang also nodded. ”Looks like that's true. When she was in my place, she was really pregnant with you.”
”At the time, Xiaoling was much younger than me, and she had a great future ahead of her. She shouldn't give up her life because of a man who didn't love her. If I knew all this was going to happen, I would not hesitate at that time.”
”If I had been a bit selfish back then, I would have taken her away from G City and made her leave Jiang Guanyu, that bastard. I can be your father. Although we have no blood ties, I believe that I would treat you better than that bastard. At least I will not make you suffer.”
Uncle Huang frowned. He sighed and shook his head. ”I shouldn't have left that year. I really shouldn't have.”
Jiang Ruolan was suddenly moved by what Uncle Huang said, and her eyes began to burn. It was unknown whether it was because of his feelings towards her mother or because of what he had said about the fatherly love he wanted to give her.
Although fate did not allow it, there had once been a person in this world who thought of giving her a fatherly love, giving her mother and her a home, and giving her mother a blissful life. This made Jiang Ruolan feel very gratified.
She smiled. ”My mother overlooked the diamond in front of her eyes because her life was already full of grief. Maybe you weren't destined to marry her in this life. You haven't been married for so many years, it shouldn't be because of her, right?”
Uncle Huang laughed. ”It's because of her.”
Jiang Ruolan remained silent.
She suddenly felt that her mother's life was very sad. At that time, there was such a good person who guarded her, cared for her, and loved her. Why must she chase after that useless man? Why would she die for him instead of looking back at the people who were waiting for her?
Women. Not only stupid but very hateful.
Jiang Ruolan didn't want to bring up such heavy topics again. She adjusted her state of mind and suddenly thought of Jia Zhenzhen. She directly asked, ”Uncle Huang, do you know Jia Zhenzhen?”
He thought back carefully and said, ”Not really, but I heard your mother say that this Jia Zhenzhen should have been a good friend of hers back in the day. They studied painting together in the United States and they have a very good relationship. I was also very curious later on. Although Jia Zhenzhen wasn't very close to me, she knew my feelings for Xiaoling, but after Xiaoling died, she didn't even try to find me and tell me about it.”
”That's because Jia Zhenzhen has gone crazy. She was locked up in a very secluded sanatorium in the United States for more than twenty years.” Jiang Ruolan said.
Uncle Huang looked at her in surprise. ”In the same year as your mother's suicide?”
Seeing Uncle Huang's expression as if he knew something, Jiang Ruolan did not hide the secrets this time. Instead, she nodded, ”Yes, the same year.”
Uncle Huang looked away and slowly walked to the side as if thinking of something.
”Do you know what happened that year? Why on earth did my mother commit suicide and Jia Zhenzhen gone crazy? Was it a coincidence, or was it planned? Uncle Huang, do you know something?” Jiang Ruolan hurriedly followed him and whispered.
”If I'm not wrong …” Uncle Huang stopped walking and seemed to be considering something. Then he looked back at Jiang Ruolan and immediately frowned. He suddenly turned his head and looked around at the Xian Residence and then at Jiang Ruolan's body and her big stomach. His lips moved, but nothing was said.
Jiang Ruolan, on the other hand, was confused by his gaze and felt a burst of panic due to her sixth sense. She followed his gaze and looked around. ”Is there something wrong?”
