Chapter 438 - The Past II (1/2)

”Those people who know the truth and possess all the evidences will die and disappear. As for me, I have no choice but to go mad.”

Jiang Ruolan asked with a mixed feeling. ”That crystal necklace left by my mother, could it be one of the items Jiang Guanyu got at that time?”

”You guessed it right. At the time, even though he was married to Zhan Lian, he still wasn't that heartless towards Zhou Qingling. He remembered that she liked things like the crystal jade, so he deliberately sent the crystal necklace sent by the wife of the Brazilian President to her. Eventually, the bribe money was successfully transferred. Not only did they get the money, but they also received a lot of jewelry.”

”My father was one of the soldiers. One of the people who took part in this matter introduced me to Xian Jian. For many years, he never engaged with anyone outside, and also because Xian Tingfeng was very strict with his son, he (Xian Jian) always had a treacherous heart and lacked courage.”

”At that time, my young beauty attracted his attention, and I was introduced to many leaders by him. Because of Xian Jian's relations with the Xian Family, he was often invited to banquets by these leaders, and because he felt lonely, he often dragged me with him.”

”Zhou Qingling was a little presumptuous back then. When Jiang Guanyu gave her the necklace, she liked it and kept it with her. At that time, I was already obsessed with Xian Jian. I was more direct than your mother and had a stronger purpose in doing so.”

”Furthermore, I had a good family background and was so used to being unafraid of the heavens and the earth. Even though I knew that Xian Jian had a wife and children, I still fell into the trap.”

”Your mother couldn't persuade me and stopped me from doing this, so she could just look after me and hide the items Jiang Guanyu gave to her. At that time, Zhou Qingling could guess what had happened. Whether it was the Xian Family or the Jiang Family, they wouldn't be arrogant for a long time. In a few months, both the Xian Family and the Jiang Family were in turmoil, but they handled the situation cleanly.”

”However, after the Old Man of the Xian Family found out about my condition, he forced me to abort my child. I rejected it of course. This is my child. Why should I do that just because someone is asking for it? Old Man Xian could not tolerate it, so I decided to flee abroad. However, when I safely gave birth and thought of returning home with the child, I found out that all that happened to my family was actually a trap.”

Jia Zhenzhen sighed, ”At that time, your mother and I were the only women who knew the truth. Zhou Qingling was in G City, so she didn't have much contact with the Xian Family. Old Man Xian had no reason to deal with her first. He just wanted to deal with me first.”

”And so, I pretended to be crazy.”

”However, Old Man Xian didn't believe me completely. Upon learning that I was really insane, he didn't give me a chance to live, but he also didn't force me to die. He just sent me to the United States and locked me in a sanatorium for the rest of my life.”

”The Old Man did not kill me at that time because Xian Jian had begged for mercy. Also, it was because of my son.”

”What about the necklace?” Jiang Ruolan was puzzled.

”At that time, the Jiang Family have a good relationship with the Xian Family, and they always seek Old Man Xian's advice. The Xian Family and Jiang Family were on the same ship, and although Old Man Xian was very reluctant, he had no choice but to intervene in the matter.”

”Was Senior Zhou not involved in that matter back then? I heard that he suddenly quit his job that year and went into foreign business!” Jiang Ruolan stared at Jia Zhenzhen. ”Also, since Jiang Guanyu destroyed those things, why didn't he ask for the necklace from my mother back then? Why did he have to wait until her death before going looking for it?”

Jia Zhenzhen sneered. ”You think he hasn't?”

Jiang Ruolan remained silent as she looked at Jia Zhenzhen's expression.

She kept having the feeling that Jia Zhenzhen was concealing something from her, not to mention with her (Jia Zhenzhen) tone. It sounded strange, but she couldn't tell what it was.
