My Little Sweet Wife Chapter 438

"Those people who know the truth and possess all the evidences will die and disappear. As for me, I have no choice but to go mad."
Jiang Ruolan asked with a mixed feeling. "That crystal necklace left by my mother, could it be one of the items Jiang Guanyu got at that time?"
"You guessed it right. At the time, even though he was married to Zhan Lian, he still wasn't that heartless towards Zhou Qingling. He remembered that she liked things like the crystal jade, so he deliberately sent the crystal necklace sent by the wife of the Brazilian President to her. Eventually, the bribe money was successfully transferred. Not only did they get the money, but they also received a lot of jewelry."
"My father was one of the soldiers. One of the people who took part in this matter introduced me to Xian Jian. For many years, he never engaged with anyone outside, and also because Xian Tingfeng was very strict with his son, he (Xian Jian) always had a treacherous heart and lacked courage."
"At that time, my young beauty attracted his attention, and I was introduced to many leaders by him. Because of Xian Jian's relations with the Xian Family, he was often invited to banquets by these leaders, and because he felt lonely, he often dragged me with him."
"Zhou Qingling was a little presumptuous back then. When Jiang Guanyu gave her the necklace, she liked it and kept it with her. At that time, I was already obsessed with Xian Jian. I was more direct than your mother and had a stronger purpose in doing so."
"Furthermore, I had a good family background and was so used to being unafraid of the heavens and the earth. Even though I knew that Xian Jian had a wife and children, I still fell into the trap."
"Your mother couldn't persuade me and stopped me from doing this, so she could just look after me and hide the items Jiang Guanyu gave to her. At that time, Zhou Qingling could guess what had happened. Whether it was the Xian Family or the Jiang Family, they wouldn't be arrogant for a long time. In a few months, both the Xian Family and the Jiang Family were in turmoil, but they handled the situation cleanly."

"However, after the Old Man of the Xian Family found out about my condition, he forced me to abort my child. I rejected it of course. This is my child. Why should I do that just because someone is asking for it? Old Man Xian could not tolerate it, so I decided to flee abroad. However, when I safely gave birth and thought of returning home with the child, I found out that all that happened to my family was actually a trap."
Jia Zhenzhen sighed, "At that time, your mother and I were the only women who knew the truth. Zhou Qingling was in G City, so she didn't have much contact with the Xian Family. Old Man Xian had no reason to deal with her first. He just wanted to deal with me first."
"And so, I pretended to be crazy."
"However, Old Man Xian didn't believe me completely. Upon learning that I was really insane, he didn't give me a chance to live, but he also didn't force me to die. He just sent me to the United States and locked me in a sanatorium for the rest of my life."
"The Old Man did not kill me at that time because Xian Jian had begged for mercy. Also, it was because of my son."
"What about the necklace?" Jiang Ruolan was puzzled.
"At that time, the Jiang Family have a good relationship with the Xian Family, and they always seek Old Man Xian's advice. The Xian Family and Jiang Family were on the same ship, and although Old Man Xian was very reluctant, he had no choice but to intervene in the matter."
"Was Senior Zhou not involved in that matter back then? I heard that he suddenly quit his job that year and went into foreign business!" Jiang Ruolan stared at Jia Zhenzhen. "Also, since Jiang Guanyu destroyed those things, why didn't he ask for the necklace from my mother back then? Why did he have to wait until her death before going looking for it?"
Jia Zhenzhen sneered. "You think he hasn't?"
Jiang Ruolan remained silent as she looked at Jia Zhenzhen's expression.

She kept having the feeling that Jia Zhenzhen was concealing something from her, not to mention with her (Jia Zhenzhen) tone. It sounded strange, but she couldn't tell what it was.
"Ruolan." Jia Zhenzhen thought for a moment, then said, "I don't want to discuss those details. If you get a chance to read the cases' detailed notes, you will understand it yourself. There is only one fact you must know, which I should have told you before, but I cannot bear to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Your mother, Zhou Qingling, was indeed forced to a dead end by Old Man Xian, who is your husband's grandfather. However, before your mother died, she deliberately left a clue, which is a crystal necklace she left on you."
"You should know, your mother was forced to die by Old Man Xian. The Xian Family and the Jiang Family are both selfish. For their own peace and well-being, they kill everyone. Is there a difference between this and killing your mother with their own hands?"
Jia Zhenzhen's expression was calm as she said this, but the hatred in her eyes deepened.
But Jiang Ruolan was calmer than Jia Zhenzhen had imagined.
Jiang Ruolan turned her head slightly, looking at Jia Zhenzhen with calm eyes. She was just looking at her.
Seeing her expression, Jia Zhenzhen looked at her and said, "Looks like you've prepared yourself mentally before coming here."
Jiang Ruolan gently shook her head. "I'm not that prepared, I just …" She paused, then smiled slightly. "I've thought about everything from the worst perspective. Other than calming down and thinking of what I should do now and what I should do next, I don't know what to say."
With that, Jiang Ruolan stood up, and with her back facing Jia Zhenzhen, she looked towards the fish pond in front of her. After so long, she slowly said, "Did Old Man Xian really force my mother to die? How many people know about this? Does anyone else in the Xian Family know?"
Jia Zhenzhen looked at her back, "As far as I know, Xian Zihao only thoroughly investigated that case not long ago. But where did he hear the rumors that allowed him to find the clue and target of this matter that was sealed tightly by the people involved? I'm not sure about that, but I suspect that this matter is related to Senior Zhou."
With that, Jia Zhenzhen continued, "As for the rest of the Xian Family, Xian Jian's crime of corruption, which had a great impact on the country, was not exposed because Old Man Xian was too crafty and had covered up his son. Zhan An only knew that Xian Jian had cheated out of nowhere and had an illegitimate child, but Old Man Xian hid everything else from her. Therefore, only a few people who are still alive and involved in this case know about this."
Jiang Ruolan suddenly remembered that day, Uncle Huang had looked at her stomach in surprise, as if he was very surprised about something.
That was why he was so shocked. Jiang Ruolan was currently carrying the child of the Xian Family … Her husband was Old Man Xian's grandson.
Other than Jiang Guanyu, the person who had caused her such a tragedy over the past 21 years was also a key figure, Old Man Xian.
When she first entered the Xian Residence, Old Man Xian had been so against her. It wasn't just because of Cui Liuxian, but also because he clearly knew that Xian Zihao's wife was the child he pushed into a tragedy that year.
That day in the hospital bed, when Old Man Xian held her hand, the look of apology in his eyes was very strong, not only because of the photos that were connected with memories he didn't want to remember but also because he knows that he had sacrificed many people to protect his son and the reputation and interests of the Xian Family.
Before coming here, Jiang Ruolan had really thought about everything from the worst case scenario. She hadn't thought that the truth would be like this, in a way that matched her imagination.
