Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Second Young Master did everything for you but he did not allow Lawyer Qin to tell you anything. He even made sure that you would never be able to locate or track down Lawyer Qin. I remember everything clearly. I do not understand why the second young master would do all that just for you, but it seemed as though he wanted to keep this a secret from you for the rest of his life.”
“I used to despise you because you were engaged to and about to get married to the third young master even though the second young master had done so much for you in the dark. I have always thought that this secret would be kept hidden forever and that I would have to carry this secret to my grave.”
“However, last night when I suddenly received a call from the second young master asking me to bring you to the cemetery, I knew that I could finally reveal the secret to you. At that point, I knew instantly that the second young master was finally willing to let you know everything that he had done.”
Jiang Yuning listened carefully as the driver filled her in on everything that Lu Jingzhi had done for her in the past. She was in shock and her tears flowed uncontrollably as she listened to the driver.
Jiang Yuning had never shed a single tear for anyone ever since Fu Yahui left them many years ago. However, right now, she could not stop her tears from flowing.
Lu Jingzhi.
‘Second Brother… Why were you so foolish?
‘Was your brain fried?
‘Why did you do all these things for me?
‘I was stupid enough to have thought that I met a good Samaritan who decided to help my family out.’
Eight hundred million. At that time, Lu Jingzhi was only twenty-three years old. He had to sell all the inheritance that his mother had left behind for him and he also had to borrow money from his friends just to settle her debt for her. However, not only did she know nothing about it, she had even regarded Lu Jingzhi as a stranger all this while.
It turned out to be this way…
It turned out that Lu Jingzhi had lifted an entire collapsed building and carried it on his own shoulders just so Jiang Yuning would not suffocate.
“I am thankful that fortunately, you did not believe Mrs. Qin’s words. If you did, I would have despised you more and felt that Second Young Master’s feelings and all that he had done for you throughout all these years was in vain.”
“Uncle, you are right. I really do not deserve all that second brother had done for me,” Jiang Yuning said as she continued weeping. “I do not even dare to think about it. Why would Second Brother do so much for someone as insignificant as me? Why did he do so much just for me?”
“Since you understand now, I am relieved to know that the second young master’s dedication and feelings have not been in vain,” the driver replied. When they stopped at a red light, he turned around and handed a paper towel to Jiang Yuning.
“I want to see him now, uncle. Can you bring me to him now?” Jiang Yuning asked desperately. Her vision was blurred as she had been crying continuously and she could not even make out the driver’s face but she could not stop her tears from flowing.
“I think you should be patient, Miss Jiang. You will definitely be able to see the second young master tonight,” the driver comforted her. “However, right now, I have to send you to the place that you need to go to first.”
Jiang Yuning continued crying in the back seat of the car. Her eyes were extremely swollen and she felt guilt and bitterness in her heart, but at the same time she was so moved and touched by all that Lu Jingzhi had done.
At that exact moment, she vowed to dedicate her life to Lu Jingzhi.
In future, she would give Lu Jingzhi everything that he wanted. She would live her life for him and she would never hurt him. She would love him and care for him with all that she had and she will give him a whole bunch of children in future.
Eight hundred million. How could such a silly person exist in this world?
He was in fact a very intelligent man.
In a short while, they arrived at the mountain villa where Fu Yahui was staying at. The driver parked in front of the villa without giving Jiang Yuning any time to sort out her own feelings. “The second young master said that you still have to do and act out what you have set out to do. You will be able to speak to him and share your feelings to him in private when you see him tonight.”
“He knew exactly what Mrs. Qin was going to tell me?” Jiang Yuning asked as she sobbed.
“Miss Fu already sent someone over to Mrs. Qin’s house last night,” the driver replied. “Since Miss Fu wants to pretend to be your benefactor, then you should also do as she wishes. Miss Jiang, you are an intelligent person. You know what you have to do.”
“I know,” Jiang Yuning said as she nodded slightly.
“Go now. In addition, Miss Jiang, I hope that you will be able to treat the second young master better in the future,” the driver sincerely said as Jiang Yuning was about to step out of the car. “After all, you would never be able to find anyone else who would treat you better than him.”
“I know.” Jiang Yuning replied once again as she tried to hold back her tears.
She really knew now. She knew that she was wrong. She was so grateful and touched that she even felt like engraving Lu Jingzhi’s name all over her body.
However, she also knew that the first thing that she should be doing now was to deal with Fu Yahui first. After all, if she had already been to Mrs. Qin’s house and heard Mrs. Qin’s side of the story, she would have realized that she had ‘misunderstood’ her mother’s intention for the past few years. Therefore, logically, the first step that she would be taking was to come to her mother to apologize and express her remorse.
Jiang Yuning did not understand how Fu Yahui could be so shameless to try and casually take credit for what she had never done. It was probably because she thought that there would not be any evidence or proof to rebuke her claims since Lawyer Qin was already gone.
However, Jiang Yuning knew that it was not yet time to wreck their relations.h.i.+p.
Jiang Yuning quickly sorted out her own emotions before ringing the doorbell of the mountain villa.
As soon as the door was opened, Jiang Yuning ran into Fu Yahui’s arms and started apologizing to her with her red and swollen eyes. “Mommy, I was wrong. I am sorry for misunderstanding you all these years.”
Fu Yahui hugged Jiang Yuning and patted her gently on her back but her lips instantly curved upwards as she smirked behind her back.
“Silly girl. You don’t ever need to apologize to me. You are my one and only biological daughter and I will always be your mother no matter what happens.”
Please!
Disgusting!
Jiang Yuning cursed in her heart. The only reason why she was able to continue acting with so much emotion was because at that moment, all she could think about was all that Lu Jingzhi had done for her.
As she was hugging Fu Yahui, all that was running through her mind was how silly Lu Jingzhi was.
“Mommy, I do not ever want to be apart from you again in the future. I promise you that I will do whatever you want me to.”
Fu Yahui gently pushed Jiang Yuning away and started wiping off her tears as soon as she heard Jiang Yuning’s words. “Stop crying already. It would not be good for your beautiful face. Mommy does not need you to do anything. Maybe you could just support your sister and give her your blessing to get married to Lu Zongye. That would really mean a lot to me.”
“If that is really what you want, then I will have no choice but to agree to it,” Jiang Yuning replied, full of grievances.
Fu Yahui thought that she had finally succeeded in gaining Jiang Yuning’s loyalty and sympathy. She patted Jiang Yuning gently on her shoulder as she comforted her, “Don’t worry, silly girl. Mommy will introduce a better man to you in the future. There is one more thing. The employment contract by Millennium Entertainment is already ready and they are just waiting for your acknowledgment and signature now.”
“Alright then,” Jiang Yuning said. She finally smiled as she accompanied Fu Yahui for lunch at the mountain villa.
“We will all be having dinner together at the Lu family mansion tomorrow. I hope that you will be supportive and not create a scene or give your sister any trouble tomorrow. In the next two days, mommy will start getting busy with work. After you enter your new agency, let your elder sister take care of you.”
“I understand,” Jiang Yuning instantly promised her mother.
“You are such a filial daughter.”
After finis.h.i.+ng their lunch, Jiang Yuning accompanied Fu Yahui as they drank tea and chatted further. It was already evening when Jiang Yuning left the mountain villa.
At this time, Huo Yuxi finally came out of hiding in her room on the second floor of the mountain villa.
She thought that Jiang Yuning was such an idiot to actually believe in her stepmother’s words. She was so stupid that she actually felt some sympathy for her.
…
Jiang Yuning did not want to deal with them right now because she still wanted to find out how much of the money in Dongheng Enterprise actually came from the Jiang family.
Furthermore, she was anxious to get home because she really wanted to see Lu Jingzhi.
After coming out from the mountain villa, Jiang Yuning suddenly remembered that she did not drive and that the driver had already left her. If she hailed a taxi, she would probably be recognized and then she would definitely be in the headlines again tomorrow.
After thinking about it for a short while, Jiang Yuning finally took out her cell phone. As soon as the person on the other line answered the call, Jiang Yuning shouted, “Second Brother! Hurry and pick up your little descendant!”
