Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ji Yuanyuan and Ji Zi’ang looked at each other when they heard the doctor’s words.
The two of them stayed where they were and did not leave.
After the doctor went in, the man paced around anxiously waiting outside.
Not long after, a white-haired old lady in her sixties or seventies rushed over with the help of a woman in her forties.
When she reached the man, the old man held his hand anxiously, “Dalin, how is the child? What did the doctor said?”
Seeing this, the woman beside him quickly added, “Brother, where is Sister-in-law? Is Sister-in-law alright?”
Although Jiang Lin was anxious, he still held the old lady’s hand patiently and comforted her in a low voice, “The doctor is inside. There’s no news yet. Mother, don’t be anxious. Wan Jing was protecting her stomach with her hands at that time.”
“How can 1 not be anxious? The two of you are already so old. If anything happens to this child, I’m afraid the two of you won’t be able to have your own child for the rest of your lives.” The old lady said helplessly.
He had been looking forward to it for more than twenty years and had tried every method. Now that she was finally pregnant, this happened again.
“Don’t be anxious. The child is already more than five months old. It’s already stable.” The woman beside the old lady also comforted her.
The old lady let out a long sigh, “I hope this child is tougher. Oh right, Wan Jing is fine. Why did she suddenly fall? Could it be…”
She suddenly thought of something and looked at Jiang Lin suspiciously.
“She went to the kitchen to help Lingxue get something and fell. This was an accident.” Said Jiang Lin.
“Help Lingxue get her things? Did Lingxue ask her to go to the past?” The old lady lowered her voice and asked.
“Mother, it was really an accident. The things were placed a little high and Lingxue couldn’t reach them. She wanted to call me, but I was on the phone at that time…”
“Accident?” The old madam sneered and asked. After a moment, she looked at her daughter beside her. “Go to your brother’s house now. I don’t believe this is an accident.”
“What are you looking at?” Jiang Lin asked curiously.
“See if there’s anything strange on the kitchen floor. Why did she fall down when she was just taking something? 1 told you not to adopt children from the orphanage. The children all followed their parents. What kind of good thing could a parent that could throw their child away be?”
“Lingxue was not abandoned by her parents. Her parents have pa.s.sed away.” Jiang Lin explained.
After all, they had raised this child for so long. Both husband and wife had feelings for this child.
“You think 1 don’t know? This child’s biological mother had gotten pregnant before marriage. Later on, she had even become someone else’s mistress and destroyed their family. He had three children at home, how could she bear to do that? Later, she followed the man to the south to do business. In the end, she took all the man’s money and even followed his friend…”
“Mother, where did you hear these rumors?” Jiang Lin was surprised.
When they adopted Jiang Lingxue, they did not know much about her past.
After all, the couple had always felt no matter what their parents did, the child was innocent. Moreover, Jiang Lingxue was very obedient at that time. She was smart and beautiful.
He only knew that this child had lived a wealthy life since he was young. However, his parents went bankrupt in business and pa.s.sed away one after another. Only then did the elders in the family send her to the welfare home. Jiang Lingxue acted like a child from a rich family. Many habits only children from rich families had.
“At that time, the two of you secretly adopted this child behind my back. It took more than a year for me to find out. I was angry at that time, so 1 didn’t care about you.” The old lady said.
Initially, she had wanted Jiang Lin to choose one of his siblings’ children to adopt. It was better to raise his own nephews than to raise outsiders.
However, Jiang Lin was afraid that his nephew and niece would go back to find their biological parents when they grew up. They would have raised them for nothing, so he insisted on adopting a child from the orphanage.
She was angry at that time and decided to leave them alone.
Over the years, the relationship between the two sides had never been good. It was only when Wan Jing found out that she was pregnant that their relationship broke.
“But some time ago, when she came home, she told me a lot.”
Jiang Lin was worried about his wife and child inside. His mind was distracted and he did not hear what his mother said.
However, the old lady continued to say, “Wan Jing said she met a few children at the supermarket. They said that they were the children of Lingxue’s stepfather’s family and said a lot about Lingxue’s biological mother. Moreover, the family had been inexplicably short of money recently. She suspected the nanny had stolen the money. When 1 heard something was wrong, I was more careful. I found the welfare inst.i.tutions that adopted Lingxue and asked someone to ask around. Finally, I found out about Lingxue’s past. Our W City is only so big. It’s not hard to find someone.”
When Jiang Lin heard this, he finally focused on the old lady’s words, “What?” “Lingxue’s surname is Shen, right? Her biological mother was called Shen Mei. When Shen Mei was young, she had an affair with a few university students. Later on, she got pregnant, but she did not know which child it was. When her child was six years old, she met a man with a family. She hooked up with him before he got divorced and got pregnant. Not long after the divorce, she entered the house. 1 heard that the man’s ex-wife was invited to the wedding, which was quite ugly. The news spread throughout the village.”
The old lady told him everything she knew.
The more Jiang Lin listened, the uglier his expression became.
“Not long after, she urged the man to resign and go to the South to do business. In the end, she hooked up with the man’s friend, causing the man to run away after owing a large sum of money. Later on, she was kicked out of the house and came back dejectedly. She was. .h.i.t by a car on the road and was gone. Guess where she was. .h.i.t?”
In the end, the old lady kept him in suspense.
Jiang Lin asked absent-mindedly, “Where did she get hit?”
“It’s at the door of the man’s ex-wife’s shop. I heard that it was the ex-wife who reported lio and 120. This Shen Mei, even before she died, she still had to cause trouble for others. She was really born to be the villain.”
After the old lady finished speaking, she saw her son’s hesitant expression and said in a low voice, “I didn’t plan to say it at first. You’ve been raising the child for so long, and Wan Jing is pregnant. In another four or five years, she will be at university and won’t be at home. She won’t be a hindrance to you anymore. But now, it seemed this child was really not simple. She had been by her mother’s side since she was young. What good things could she learn?”
As she spoke, she reached out to her son, “Give me the key. Let your sister go back and take a look. It would be too late if this dragged on. Perhaps it was already too late.”
Jiang Lin hesitated for a moment before giving the key to the old lady.
The old lady placed the key in her daughter’s hand, and her daughter turned around and left..
