When Jiang Nian had doubts, she naturally would pursue them to the end, so she immediately set off for Jiang’s house.
It happened to be the weekend, and Jiang Tao, Jiang Boxue, and Guo Xiuyu were all at home. Even Guo Xiuyu’s eldest daughter from her ex-husband was present, she even looked at her with an ugly expression, and dragged Jiang Boxue to keep him from getting close to her.
Jiang Nian had no impression of Shen Lanlan, and the memories concerning her were all obtained through the original owner’s memory, that is, when the original owner was locked up, she often came to watch the fun. With how much hostility and rejection she harbored against her, it seemed that Guo Xiuyu blew her ears with bad words about her.
As a result, she didn’t even have the chance to get close to Jiang Boxue. Not only that, but after she arrived at Jiang’s house for a while, Shen Lanlan made an excuse to take Jiang Boxue out to play. Guo Xiuyu couldn’t have waited more for this opportunity and gave Shen Lanlan a stack of money to let her have fun. Of course, in front of Jiang Nian, she could only say that the atmosphere at home was not good recently, which might have affected the child. It was the best choice to let him go out to play.
If Jiang Nian was just skeptical before, she was pretty much sure now, because there is a high probability that the rationale behind behaving as Guo Xiuyu did was guilt and unease subsequent to committing adultery.
Jiang Nian pretended not to know anything, and sneakily took a piece of hair from Jiang Tao’s collar before leaving. As for Jiang Boxue, aren’t there plenty of ways to get Jiang Boxue’s hair without her personally doing it?
It took about a week for Jiang Nian to obtain the paternity test certificate between Jiang Boxue and Jiang Tao. The results really opened Jiang Nian’s eyes. She really didn’t expect that Jiang Tao’s son, his pride, the third-generation single male in the family, the acknowledged heir to the Jiang family, was really not his own.
After discovering such shocking news, Jiang Nian didn’t go to Jiang Tao. Instead, she printed a copy and mailed it to Guo Xiuyu. This woman is too scheming to actually be able to do such a thing and lead Jiang Tao with his nose. Who knows if there are other secrets hidden, but this paternity test can deceive her and throw her off balance. The more flustered she is, the easier it is for her to make mistakes. As whose son Jiang Boxue is, Jiang Nian doesn’t care, but it’s not Jiang Tao’s, and that’s enough.
And when Guo Xiuyu received such a courier, she was really scared to death, tearing up the document like crazy! The first thing she thought of was Jiang Nian, only Jiang Nian would hate her that much, but if it was Jiang Nian, why didn’t she just hand it over to Jiang Tao? She will be the biggest winner then…
She thought about it, restless, and panicked all day. She was already exhausted and became more and more haggard, becoming ten years older overnight.
And after that day, she would receive a courier containing a copy of the paternity test every day. She couldn’t tear them all apart, because even if she shredded one copy, there would be others in line in the days to come. This tortured her to the point of schizophrenia. She also hired a private detective in hopes to find out the perpetrator, although she was already suspecting Jiang Nian.
But apart from her relationship with Xiao Zheng, she couldn’t find any weakness she could defeat Jiang Nian with, which made her suffer, like a trapped beast!
Jiang Nian eats and drinks well, and her only worry is that Xiao Zheng is getting more and more unscrupulous. He gives gifts every day and likes to enter her room as he likes. Whenever Jiang Nian glared at him, he looked at her pitifully, as if he did something wrong.
” Where don’t you like it? I’ll change it.”
Jiang Nian was reluctant to scold him, not to mention that she received gifts from him frequently, so she was even more soft-hearted.
She sighed and felt that this was not a solution. She would soon surrender under the bombardment of the big gold… The feeling of being caught by the ultimate weakness is quite uncomfortable, but it makes her really happy! ^-^
Xiao Zheng looks innocent, but is actually quite insidious and cunning.
In addition, when she returned to Xiao’s house, the old lady took her to chat for a while, and she didn’t shy away from the subject, but asked directly: “Has that kid been causing you trouble lately?”
Jiang Nian thought about it…: “No trouble…” After all, receiving gifts will never be trouble for her.
The old lady patted the table: “Hey, don’t say good things about him, do you think I don’t know him yet? I was able to suppress that kid before, and I didn’t know if he suddenly took the wrong medicine, so he dared to come to you! ”
Jiang Nian asked in surprise: “Grandma already knows?”
The old lady took Jiang Nian’s hand and walked upstairs. She was very old and walked very slowly, with hunched back and gray hair, as she spoke, “Niannian, you looked as that kid grew up, I know that you actually feel bad for him and can’t say anything cruel, but you want to leave the Xiao family, and I naturally hope you can follow your heart and be happy. Our family has dragged you down for ten years. You don’t have to indulge that brat Xiao Zheng.”
Jiang Nian smiled and supported the old lady, “Am I so easy to bully? If I don’t want to, no one can force me.”
The old lady looked at her and patted her hands while sighing silently.
She took Jiang Nian into her bedroom and took out a mahogany box from the dressing cabinet. It was full of gold, silver, and jade jewelry. At first glance, it had some history, as each of the items was extremely precious. The old lady took out a ruby-encrusted ring, and said with emotion, “This is the wedding ring that my old man gave me. It has been with me for decades…” She looked at it, put it back, and then she took out another jade bracelet. She talked to Jiang Nian about each and every item in the box. In the end, she took out another ring from a small box, “This is from Ah Zheng’s mother, now I’ll give it to you.”
Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment, her face feeling a little hot: “…How can you give it to me?”
The old lady’s heart was like a mirror, and she said with a smile: “If you want to stay, stay, if you don’t want to stay, leave it to Ah Zheng’s wife.”
Jiang Nian understood now that the old lady actually acquiesced to any decision she would make.
The old lady closed the box and pushed it all to Jiang Nian: “I’m old, so I’ll leave these to you for safekeeping.”
Jiang Nian felt a twinge in her heart for some reason. The old lady is seventy-five years old this year, and ten years older than when the accident happened. The previous big battle made her physically and mentally exhausted, and she was supported by one remaining breath. Now that the overall situation has been settled, Jiang Nian can clearly feel that the old lady’s spirit is not as good as before.
Birth, old age, sickness, and death are inevitable phases in a human being’s life.
Jiang Nian was used to seeing life and death and sending many people away, and she didn’t feel sad, but now she felt pity for this old lady. She lost her husband in middle age, lost her son when she was old, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person. Probably no one can understand her pain and grief.
“Grandma, you know that when I see money, I won’t give it back if I take it.”
The old lady smiled and patted Jiang Nian’s forehead: “Stay the night with this old lady today.”
Jiang Nian hummed in response: “Okay.”
…
Xiao Zheng naturally didn’t know what the old lady and Jiang Nian talked about, but after hearing that Jiang Nian had returned to the old house, he became very flustered. He was too afraid, afraid that the old lady would say something that would make Jiang Nian stay away from him. He managed to get to where he is today, and he managed to get Jiang Nian not to reject him. If…
He hardly dared to think about it, and immediately drove home in a hurry.
When he got home, he saw the old lady sitting in the backyard with a serious face. Jiang Nian was eating snacks next to her. When she saw him come back suddenly, she said unexpectedly, “The boss of the company is taking the lead in slacking off?”
Xiao Zheng took a breath. He tried her best to look normal, but he wisely didn’t answer Jiang Nian’s words: “You’re back, I’ll ask Auntie to cook more dishes you like.”
The old lady laughed and glanced at him: “Do you need to say that?”
Xiao Zheng: “…”
He looked at the old lady and then Jiang Nian, wondering if the old lady had anything to say to Jiang Nian? But it seems that at least there is no deadlock, which is good news.
Xiao Zheng bit his scalp and sat between Jiang Nian and the old lady. Jiang Nian seemed not to notice anything wrong, but the old lady glanced at Xiao Zheng several times. Xiao Zheng met the old lady’s gaze without flinching. He stood firm and would not take a half step back if he said anything.
When Jiang Nian went to the bathroom, the old lady’s serious face looked even more stern. She patted the table: “Xiao Zheng, haven’t you been too presumptuous recently?”
Xiao Zheng said: “Grandma, it’s all about me, don’t have any opinion on Jiang Nian.”
The old lady retorted, “Am I unable to discern right and wrong?”
Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, “No, it’s just that I know that I am wrong in your eyes.”
The old lady didn’t reply. A Xiao Heng knew that she didn’t want to talk to him anymore, he sat silently for a while, then got up and went back to the house, and found that Jiang Nian was on the second floor, in her room. Jiang Nian’s room here has always been kept intact. Although she moved out, nothing in it has been touched. The aunty even puts on new sheets and puts fresh bouquets in vases every few days.
He waited at the door until she came out.
Jiang Nian was not surprised to see Xiao Zheng waiting outside the door. He was still wearing that crisp suit and leaning against the wall with his eyes down, showing indifference from the inside out, completely different from his pitiful look before.
She leaned on the eaves and looked up at him, Xiao Zheng also raised his eyes, and as she came into his view, a smile filled his eyes, and his stern eyebrows softened: “Jiang Nian.”
Jiang Nian teased, “You call me by my name now. You’re getting more and more comfortable.”
He bent the corners of his mouth, walked up to her, and inquired, “Grandma didn’t embarrass you, right?”
“Why embarrass me?”
“Because…” He paused, “Yes, yes, if I like you, grandma should blame me, it has nothing to do with you.”
Jiang Nian asked, “Do you think you are wrong?”
Xiao Zheng looked at her with shiny eyes: “I love you, is it wrong?”
His eyes were dark and deep, and he looked at her with some grievance, just like a puppy with wet eyes begging for love, making people want to rub and kiss his hairy dog head.
Jiang Nian: “I’m asking you.”
Xiao Zheng was confident: “I’m not wrong, I like you, and it will never change in this life.”
His tone was firm, but his eyes looked at her with apprehension and concern. His fingers unconsciously pulled the hem of her clothes, but Jiang Nian slapped them away. He rubbed the back of his aching hand, but he didn’t say it hurt, just expressed pain using his whole body.
(T/N: Xue Zheng: Am I tHe dRAmA??)
Jiang Nian said: “Don’t pretend to be wronged, I haven’t bullied you yet.”
Xiao Zheng said seriously: “No matter what you do to me, I am willing.”
Jiang Nian: “…”
She rolled her eyes and turned to look down. After reaching the building, Xiao Zheng followed behind her. Knowing that she felt sorry for him, he couldn’t help but secretly bent his lips, and his heart rate sped up significantly.
After lunch, the old lady went back to her room for a lunch break. Jiang Nian was reading in the study. Xiao Zheng accompanied the old lady. After she fell asleep, he went to the study to find Jiang Nian. He walked up to her, as per his habit built over the years, “What are you looking at?”
Jiang Nian replied: “I’m not looking at anything, just taking a look casually.”
Xiao Zheng snorted and didn’t care, he squatted beside her legs, his head rested on her knees. Jiang Nian shook her legs, but he hugged her even tighter. Such a big man huddled there, not speaking, stubbornly insisting, as if this would satisfy him.
…This is too cute!
Jiang Nian was a little bit eager to move, looking at the top of his dark head, she couldn’t help rubbing the dog’s head that was tempting her hands very much.
This little brat has a big mind, but she is still so excited. After all, he understands her mind so well, and he is so well-behaved and sensible.
Forget it, when she takes care of the Jiang family, she will clean up this little brat.
…
While Jiang Nian and Xiao Zheng were tossing back and forth, there was shocking news regarding the Jiang family. Jiang Tao and Guo Xiuyu got into a fight. Guo Xiuyu and Jiang Tao both entered the hospital, and finally, the police came.
After Jiang Nian heard the news, she thought it was Jiang Boxue’s secret that had been exposed, but when she learned about the situation, she realized that it was Guo Xiuyu who was on the phone with Yang Hai secretly and was caught by Jiang Tao!
How could Jiang Tao bear this? He immediately got into a fight with Guo Xiuyu. Guo Xiuyu couldn’t take it anymore, she was beaten hard and started to resist, Jiang Tao got even angrier and said he wanted to divorce! Isn’t Guo Xiuyu’s only goal taking possession of Jiang Tao’s family property? Of course, she didn’t want to get divorced, and she was getting angrier and more resentful. She was with this old man and so many people, and she was beaten and didn’t get anything. Why?
The two who harbored resentment no longer had the harmony they had before. Jiang Tao said that Guo Xiuyu was unworthy of being a wife and was not worthy of being a mother. Guo Xiuyu said that Jiang Tao was too old to be human and wanted her to be a widow, “I’m not worthy of being a wife? Do you deserve to be a husband? When your wife was seriously ill in bed, didn’t you cheat on her with me? You said that I am not worthy of being a mother, and you are worthy of being a father? My destiny will be against you, so you can’t wait to marry her. Now that Jiang Nian has developed and is useful, all these mistakes become mine, right? You are more shameless than me! Even if you want to divorce, you have to share half of everything with me now!”
The scandal was exposed, Jiang Tao’s attack was even more serious, and others couldn’t hold him back.
After such a commotion, they were both admitted to the hospital. The Jiang family was rumored to be done for henceforth.
When Jiang Nian got the news, she immediately dressed up and went to the hospital to watch the fun.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
When Jiang Nian had doubts, she naturally would pursue them to the end, so she immediately set off for Jiang’s house.

She also hired a private detective in hopes to find out the perpetrator, although she was already suspecting Jiang Nian.But apart from her relationship with Xiao Zheng, she couldn't find any weakness she could defeat Jiang Nian with, which made her suffer, like a trapped beast!Jiang Nian eats and drinks well, and her only worry is that Xiao Zheng is getting more and more unscrupulous. He gives gifts every day and likes to enter her room as he likes. Whenever Jiang Nian glared at him, he looked at her pitifully, as if he did something wrong. Where don't you like it? I'll change it.Jiang Nian was reluctant to scold him, not to mention that she received gifts from him frequently, so she was even more soft-hearted.She sighed and felt that this was not a solution. She would soon surrender under the bombardment of the big gold The feeling of being caught by the ultimate weakness is quite uncomfortable, but it makes her really happy!^-^Xiao Zheng looks innocent, but is actually quite insidious and cunning.In addition, when she returned to Xiao's house, the old lady took her to chat for a while, and she didn't shy away from the subject, but asked directly: Has that kid been causing you trouble lately?Jiang Nian thought about it: No trouble After all, receiving gifts will never be trouble for her.The old lady patted the table: Hey, don't say good things about him, do you think I don't know him yet? I was able to suppress that kid before, and I didn't know if he suddenly took the wrong medicine, so he dared to come to you! Jiang Nian asked in surprise: Grandma already knows?The old lady took Jiang Nian's hand and walked upstairs. She was very old and walked very slowly, with hunched back and gray hair, as she spoke, Niannian, you looked as that kid grew up, I know that you actually feel bad for him and can't say anything cruel, but you want to leave the Xiao family, and I naturally hope you can follow your heart and be happy. Our family has dragged you down for ten years. You don't have to indulge that brat Xiao Zheng.Jiang Nian smiled and supported the old lady, Am I so easy to bully? If I don't want to, no one can force me.Theold lady looked at her and patted her hands while sighing silently.She took Jiang Nian into her bedroom and took out a mahogany box from the dressing cabinet. It was full of gold, silver, and jade jewelry. At first glance, it had some history, as each of the items was extremely precious. The old lady took out a ruby-encrusted ring, and said with emotion, This is the wedding ring that my old man gave me. It has been with me for decades She looked at it, put it back, and then she took out another jade bracelet. She talked to Jiang Nian about each and every item in the box. In the end, she took out another ring from a small box, This is from Ah Zheng's mother, now I'll give it to you.Jiang Nian was stunned for a moment, her face feeling a little hot: How can you give it to me?Theold lady's heart was like a mirror, and she said with a smile: If you want to stay, stay, if you don't want to stay, leave it to Ah Zheng's wife.Jiang Nian understood now that the old lady actually acquiesced to any decision she would make.The old lady closed the box and pushed it all to Jiang Nian: I'm old, so I'll leave these to you for safekeeping.Jiang Nian felt a twinge in her heart for some reason. The old lady is seventy-five years old this year, and ten years older than when the accident happened. The previous big battle made her physically and mentally exhausted, and she was supported by one remaining breath. Now that the overall situation has been settled, Jiang Nian can clearly feel that the old lady's spirit is not as good as before.Birth, old age, sickness, and death are inevitable phases in a human being's life.Jiang Nian was used to seeing life and death and sending many people away, and she didn't feel sad, but now she felt pity for this old lady. She lost her husband in middle age, lost her son when she was old, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person. Probably no one can understand her pain and grief.Grandma, you know that when I see money, I won't give it back if I take it.Theold lady smiled and patted Jiang Nian's forehead: Stay the night with this old lady today.Jiang Nian hummed in response: Okay.Xiao Zheng naturally didn't know what the old lady and Jiang Nian talked about, but after hearing that Jiang Nian had returned to the old house, he became very flustered. He was too afraid, afraid that the old lady would say something that would make Jiang Nian stay away from him.He managed to get to where he is today, and he managed to get Jiang Nian not to reject him. IfHe hardly dared to think about it, and immediately drove home in a hurry.When he got home, he saw the old lady sitting in the backyard with a serious face. Jiang Nian was eating snacks next to her. When she saw him come back suddenly, she said unexpectedly, The boss of the company is taking the lead in slacking off?Xiao Zheng took a breath. He tried her best to look normal, but he wisely didn't answer Jiang Nian's words: You're back, I'll ask Auntie to cook more dishes you like.The old lady laughed and glanced at him: Do you need to say that?Xiao Zheng: He looked at the old lady and then Jiang Nian, wondering if the old lady had anything to say to Jiang Nian?But it seems that at least there is no deadlock, which is good news.Xiao Zheng bit his scalp and sat between Jiang Nian and the old lady. Jiang Nian seemed not to notice anything wrong, but the old lady glanced at Xiao Zheng several times. Xiao Zheng met the old lady's gaze without flinching. He stood firm and would not take a half step back if he said anything.When Jiang Nian went to the bathroom, the old lady's serious face looked even more stern. She patted the table: Xiao Zheng, haven't you been too presumptuous recently?Xiao Zheng said: Grandma, it's all about me, don't have any opinion on Jiang Nian.Theold lady retorted, Am I unable to discern right and wrong?Xiao Zheng shook his head and said, No, it's just that I know that I am wrong in your eyes.The old lady didn't reply. A Xiao Heng knew that she didn't want to talk to him anymore, he sat silently for a while, then got up and went back to the house, and found that Jiang Nian was on the second floor, in her room. Jiang Nian's room here has always been kept intact. Although she moved out, nothing in it has been touched. The aunty even puts on new sheets and puts fresh bouquets in vases every few days.He waited at the door until she came out.Jiang Nian was not surprised to see Xiao Zheng waiting outside the door. He was still wearing that crisp suit and leaning against the wall with his eyes down, showing indifference from the inside out, completely different from his pitiful look before.She leaned on the eaves and looked up at him, Xiao Zheng also raised his eyes, and as she came into his view, a smile filled his eyes, and his stern eyebrows softened: Jiang Nian.Jiang Nian teased, You call me by my name now.You're getting more and more comfortable.He bent the corners of his mouth, walked up to her, and inquired, Grandma didn't embarrass you, right?Why embarrass me?Because He paused, Yes, yes, if I like you, grandma should blame me, it has nothing to do with you.Jiang Nian asked, Do you think you are wrong?Xiao Zheng looked at her with shiny eyes: I love you, is it wrong?His eyes were dark and deep, and he looked at her with some grievance, just like a puppy with wet eyes begging for love, making people want to rub and kiss his hairy dog head.Jiang Nian: I'm asking you.Xiao Zheng was confident: I'm not wrong, I like you, and it will never change in this life.His tone was firm, but his eyes looked at her with apprehension and concern. His fingers unconsciously pulled the hem of her clothes, but Jiang Nian slapped them away. He rubbed the back of his aching hand, but he didn't say it hurt, just expressed pain using his whole body.T/N: Xue Zheng: Am I tHe dRAmA??Jiang Nian said: Don't pretend to be wronged, I haven't bullied you yet.Xiao Zheng said seriously: No matter what you do to me, I am willing.Jiang Nian: She rolled her eyes and turned to look down. After reaching the building, Xiao Zheng followed behind her. Knowing that she felt sorry for him, he couldn't help but secretly bent his lips, and his heart rate sped up significantly.After lunch, the old lady went back to her room for a lunch break. Jiang Nian was reading in the study. Xiao Zheng accompanied the old lady. After she fell asleep, he went to the study to find Jiang Nian. He walked up to her, as per his habit built over the years, What are you looking at?Jiang Nian replied: I'm not looking at anything, just taking a look casually.Xiao Zheng snorted and didn't care, he squatted beside her legs, his head rested on her knees. Jiang Nian shook her legs, but he hugged her even tighter. Such a big man huddled there, not speaking, stubbornly insisting, as if this would satisfy him.This is too cute!Jiang Nian was a little bit eager to move, looking at the top of his dark head, she couldn't help rubbing the dog's head that was tempting her hands very much.This little brat has a big mind, but she is still so excited. After all, he understands her mind so well, and he is so well-behaved and sensible.Forget it, when she takes care of the Jiang family, she will clean up this little brat.While Jiang Nian and Xiao Zheng were tossing back and forth, there was shocking news regarding the Jiang family. Jiang Tao and Guo Xiuyu got into a fight. Guo Xiuyu and Jiang Tao both entered the hospital, and finally, the police came.After Jiang Nian heard the news, she thought it was Jiang Boxue's secret that had been exposed, but when she learned about the situation, she realized that it was Guo Xiuyu who was on the phone with Yang Hai secretly and was caught by Jiang Tao!How could Jiang Tao bear this? He immediately got into a fight with Guo Xiuyu. Guo Xiuyu couldn't take it anymore, she was beaten hard and started to resist, Jiang Tao got even angrier and said he wanted to divorce! Isn't Guo Xiuyu's only goal taking possession of Jiang Tao's family property? Of course, she didn't want to get divorced, and she was getting angrier and more resentful. She was with this old man and so many people, and she was beaten and didn't get anything. Why?The two who harbored resentment no longer had the harmony they had before. Jiang Tao said that Guo Xiuyu was unworthy of being a wife and was not worthy of being a mother. Guo Xiuyu said that Jiang Tao was too old to be human and wanted her to be a widow, I'm not worthy of being a wife? Do you deserve to be a husband? When your wife was seriously ill in bed, didn't you cheat on her with me? You said that I am not worthy of being a mother, and you are worthy of being a father? My destiny will be against you, so you can't wait to marry her. Now that Jiang Nian has developed and is useful, all these mistakes become mine, right? You are more shameless than me! Even if you want to divorce, you have to share half of everything with me now!Thescandal was exposed, Jiang Tao's attack was even more serious, and others couldn't hold him back.After such a commotion, they were both admitted to the hospital. The Jiang family was rumored to be done for henceforth.When Jiang Nian got the news, she immediately dressed up and went to the hospital to watch the fun.
