My Little Sweet Wife Chapter 437 - The Past I

Chapter 437 - The Past I

They didn't stay too long on the beach because Xian Zihao got a call from Xian Group. He first sent Jiang Ruolan to the sanatorium, then went to the office.

After arranging to pick her up later, Jiang Ruolan decided to rest in the sanatorium. Since she had nothing better to do, she decided to take a walk. When she arrived in front of the ward and saw the two familiar doctors, she walked over and asked where Jia Zhenzhen was.

When Jiang Ruolan found Jia Zhenzhen, she was sitting in a wheelchair, with two nurses accompanying her. Jia Zhenzhen sat alone in the backyard next to the fish pond, staring at the small fish.

Jiang Ruolan walked over to her and greeted the two nurses. She did not step forward until the nurses left.

She carefully sat down on the marble bench and looked at the quiet Jia Zhenzhen and said, "Auntie Jia, the nurses are gone."

Jia Zhenzhen slowly turned her head and looked at her (Jiang Ruolan) for a long time, then stared at her big stomach, "I heard something happened to you at Xian Residence. I was recently under the observation of doctors and staff here, so I can't go out to see you."

Jiang Ruolan just smiled and stared at her.

"What's wrong?" Seeing how Jiang Ruolan looked at her, Jia Zhenzhen's gaze became gentle. "Child, there seems to be something on your mind."

"I don't think there are as many things on my mind as you do, Auntie Jia." Jiang Ruolan replied with a straight face.

Jia Zhenzhen's expression froze for a moment before she looked at her hesitantly. "Do you already know what happened?"

"I just want to know, why did my mother commit suicide so many years ago? I can't figure out the reason. For a man like Jiang Guanyu who had abandoned his family, as an open-minded woman living in the United States, how can she choose the path to kill herself?" Jiang Ruolan's gaze didn't s.h.i.+ft away from Jia Zhenzhen's face as she said this. "Auntie Jia, I have met an old man with the surname Huang. I wonder if you have ever heard of this person."

Jia Zhenzhen's face was initially calm, but when she heard 'Uncle Huang' name, she was stunned. Her eyes began to water, and after about ten seconds, she recovered from her shock and looked at Jiang Ruolan again.

"That time in G City, at my mother's grave, the words you said ..." Jiang Ruolan paused and hesitated for a moment before saying, "You want to remind me of something, right? But you don't seem to want to talk about it after that."

Jia Zhenzhen looked at her for a moment and nodded her head. "I never want to ruin the warm happiness that you have, child. Actually, I really hope your happiness is not fake and that the person you marry is not Xian Zihao, but someone else. As long as it's not someone from the Xian Family, I won't object."

Jiang Ruolan narrowed her eyes, "Does what had happened to my mother related to the Xian Family?"

"Looks like you really know something." Jia Zhenzhen sighed softly and looked at the fish pond in front of her as she continued, "Since you have taken the initiative to ask me about this, would you mind hearing the long story?"

Jiang Ruolan looked at the time and said faintly. "Can you finish telling it in two hours? Zihao will come to pick me up later. He just went to Xian Group."

"For you to suddenly come to find me, he must have sensed something. What is rare is that he doesn't seem to intentionally hide it from you. He doesn't intentionally deceive you, he just refuses to part with you. He really treated you very well, but unfortunately ..."

Jia Zhenzhen sighed, "I don't really remember what happened twenty-one years ago. At that time, Zhou Qingling was still a straightforward, simple, and enthusiastic girl. The misunderstanding between her parents resulted in her not being able to see them since she was born. She grew up in the United States, but upon learning of her birth, she only had a sense of rejection and hatred for her father. Even after she left her adoptive mother and lived a bad life, she never thought of finding her father, who has a great family background."

"She traveled to China when she was not yet twenty years old. Fortunately, she had a good friend, me, when she was in the United States. The Jia Family was the largest military force in the country. The equipment manufacturer's soldier was one of the richest soldiers in the country at that time, and I always come to help whenever she was in trouble."

"The two of us who were initially good sisters gradually became closer to each other, and we became more and more similar in daily habits, including makeup and our styles. At that time, bright red lipstick and pretty heavy makeup were very popular. The two of us often looked at each other in the mirror, looking at our appearance. We really looked like twins from a distance."

"Zhou Qingling got a new job in G City with a decent salary. It was a job related to painting and was considered her hobby. So she packed her things and went there. Unfortunately, her life turned into a mess from that moment. She met a man who had ruined her life."

"Jiang Guanyu?" Jiang Ruolan asked.

Jia Zhenzhen paused for a moment before she nodded. She looked tired, as if she felt the pain for Zhou Qingling when she mentioned these things.

Jiang Ruolan stopped interrupting and listened.

"She met a handsome and young Jiang Guanyu at G City's station. The man was cold and stern and he was not arrogant as he is now. He was a very nice man back then and didn't have that many strange experiences and desires for power. He fell in love with her at first sight."

"Jiang Guanyu accidentally came to Zhou Qingling's company and asked her to paint some pictures for his company. At that time, Qingling was still considered an intern at the company, but her drawing style was not bad and was chosen by Jiang Guanyu's boss."

"At one point, he was injured by something. Zhou Qingling and he were already in love, so staying with him and taking care of him was not a problem for her. As time went on, their relations.h.i.+p grew closer and deeper."

"After being together for three years, Jiang Guanyu and Zhou Qingling decided to get married in half a year. At the time, she had been pregnant for a month and was very happy, waiting to have a happy marriage, but who would expect in less than a month, a woman named Zhan Lian would appear in Jiang Guanyu's world. At the time, Jiang Guanyu had secretly been dating Zhan Lian for over a year, and eventually, due to the influence of the Zhan Family, she was able to pave the way for Jiang Guanyu's future."

"Zhou Qingling was sad and miserable. She initially wanted to kill the child in her womb, but in the end, she couldn't bear to do it. I came to accompany her and after living with her in G City for several months, Zhou Qingling decided to changed jobs, but because she was pregnant, there weren't many jobs she could do, so she helped out at the garden belonging to Senior Huang."

"Senior Huang was very kind to her at the time, and over the months of their interaction, he gradually learned about some of her affairs, formed a relations.h.i.+p with her, sympathized with her, and took care of her."

"To be honest, Zhou Qingling is very grateful to Senior Huang. Even now …" Jia Zhenzhen suddenly paused. She glanced at Jiang Ruolan, who was listening attentively, then shook her head. "Forget it, I'll just make this story short. There doesn't seem to be much of a need for you to know about everything."

"Did you hear about the military army that was involved in the corruption? At that time, Jiang Guanyu was still not the Jiang Group's chairman, but he was involved in that incident together with Zhan Lian. In addition, he married her and was related to the Xian Family's heir, Xian Jian. All the records of the incident suddenly vanished." Jia Zhenzhen suddenly smiled, "You would never have thought that the ones who really embezzled the money that year were Jiang Guanyu and Xian Jian, right?"

Jiang Ruolan's jaw dropped. "Are you saying …"

Jia Zhenzhen looked at her, "If I hadn't acted crazy, I would have been killed by Xian Jian's father, the man who you are calling grandfather."
