Chapter 983: Extra Chapter 2: The Widow in Chaotic Times
Wenxin seemed to have noticed the change in Jiang Yeqing’s expression. Her initial unhappiness from being shoved aside vanished. She probed, “Is that you, Brother Jiang? I haven’t seen you for many years. Do you remember me?”
“Wenxin?” Jiang Yeqing stubbed out his cigarette and looked up to see Wenxin’s obviously happy face.
She sat down in front of Jiang Yeqing and said, “It’s me, Wenxin!”
Jiang Yeqing was eating with a friend. At this moment, when the friend suddenly saw Jiang Yeqing being pestered by such a beauty, he was envious and looked at Jiang Yeqing meaningfully. He asked, “Old Jiang, how do you manage to meet such a beauty while just out eating a meal? Where did you get to know her?”
Wenxin was indeed very pretty.
Her features were exquisite and beautiful, and there was an obvious foxy charm in her eyes. Any man would take a few more glances at her and feel that they could flirt with her. They might even be able to get her out on a date if they hit a right note with each other.
Her features were very similar to her mother’s, but her temperament was very different.
Jiang Yeqing couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed at how she had turned out.
Hearing his friend’s question, he naturally knew that this guy was testing the water.
He lit another cigarette and said, “My G.o.dfather’s daughter. I guess you may consider her my sister.”
“Oh, so she’s your G.o.dsister.”
At this point, the way the man put it was as if their relations.h.i.+p was no longer as pure as it sounded.
Jiang Yeqing felt that things had gone a little out of line, but Wenxin had already started speaking. “Yes, he’s my G.o.dbrother and I’m his G.o.dsister. We were very close when we were young. At that time, the house was very small and I slept in the same room with him for a long time.”
“…” The friend looked at Jiang Yeqing meaningfully and quickly lowered his head to drink his tea.
For some reason, Jiang Yeqing felt rather annoyed. He turned to look at the girl and asked the waiter for more tea. “Why are you here? Where’s your mother? I came back a long time ago and went to the house we rented. They said that you guys had moved out long ago. Where did you move to?”
Wenxin replied, “We moved out a long time ago. After you left with them, my mother was harmed by someone. She was captured by my father’s former enemies. At the time, my mother hid me under the bed. She told me to hide under the bed and not to come out. I heard them hurting my mother. There was blood everywhere. I didn’t dare to go out and fainted from fright. When I woke up, I realized that my mother was naked and the ground was covered in blood. I called an ambulance and sent my mother to the hospital. Only then did I realize that after you left, the hundreds of thousands that those people gave my mother had been taken away by these people.”
Jiang Yeqing listened in silence. His friend, on the other hand, was not as calm. He held his cigarette and looked a little angry as he said, “Who are those people? Which gang are they from? They even dare to touch Brother Jiang’s people. Are they tired of living?”
Wenxin looked upset as she continued, “At the time, Brother Jiang was only in his teens and just left home. Furthermore, it was soon after something bad happened to my father. Most people didn’t dare to help…”
Jiang Yeqing was annoyed hearing this as well. He took a long drag and asked, “Where’s your mother now?”
“She… developed a mental problem. I had no choice but to rent a room for myself.” Wenxin looked a little fearful. “I haven’t seen her in a long time, but it’s better for her to live alone than with me.”
