Chapter 319: Chapter 319: Old Secrets Exposed
"Don’t mention my son to me. If he hadn’t condoned it, how could Ming Lan treat us like this?" Old Sir Jiang became more and more furious as he spoke, turned to glare at Old Madam Jiang, and then fell silent.
His wife, she was protected too well by him. There are some things she simply doesn’t understand. The son and Ming Lan are cut from the same cloth, otherwise, the Jiang Family wouldn’t be in its current state.
Over the years, he was not unaware of what Jiang Feng and Ming Lan had done. It’s just that both sides of his family were dear to him, and with Lao San still without children, Jiang Mingzhu looked quite decent, so he turned a blind eye.
But now, he regrets it. Regrets not dealing with the truth he found out back then, causing the Jiang Family to end up with only Jiang Mingzhu and Jiang Xue as the children.
If he hadn’t been so intent on keeping the peace back then, how could the Jiang Family have reached this point today?
All in all, it was his fault.
"Old man, why are you being harsh with me?" Old Madam Jiang was unhappy, pouting, and then turned away, ignoring Old Sir Jiang.
Old Sir Jiang didn’t care either and directly went back to the hotel. Old Madam Jiang watched him not comforting her, tears streaming down, feeling more and more aggrieved.
Ming Lan, watching from the side, said nothing, nor did she pay her any attention, directly following Old Sir Jiang.
Old Madam Jiang stared at Ming Lan’s back, stomped her foot in anger. She was resentful in her heart, she shouldn’t have spoken up for her.
If she hadn’t spoken up for Ming Lan, how could the old man be harsh with her?
Old Madam Jiang, full of resentment, also returned to the hotel. At the hotel, Ming Lan once again walked up to Old Sir Jiang and pleaded, "Dad, I beg you. As long as you agree to help the Ming Family, I’ll do anything you ask."
"Anything?" Old Sir Jiang coldly looked at Ming Lan, saying, "In that case, as long as you help me find those few children that Lao San’s wife lost, I will help you."
At these words, Ming Lan’s expression changed, but she quickly regained her composure, saying, "Dad, are you joking?"
That’s what she said, but her heart was troubled. She thought to herself, how could he know?
She had been so careful in what she did, and she even made use of Jiang Mingzhu. At the time, Jiang Mingzhu was just a few years old, no one would have suspected her. How did the old man know?
Or was the old man just testing her? After all, if the old man had known all along, why hasn’t he brought it up all this time?
Old Madam Jiang, who had just reached the doorway, was taken aback after hearing Old Sir Jiang’s words, stunned. She didn’t react for a long time. Although she was a bit naive, it was because Old Sir Jiang protected her too well. But she was not stupid, she immediately realized the crux of the problem.
Previously, she never liked An Gu, thinking she was useless, couldn’t even keep a child. Time and again, she had miscarriages.
But now she realized, An Gu’s miscarriages had other hidden reasons.
"Whether I am joking, you know very well in your heart. Don’t think that because you didn’t personally take action, it wasn’t your doing. If it weren’t for you, how could Mingzhu, that child only a few years old, deliberately get close to her third aunt, and intentionally spray musk on her clothes?"
"Dad, who told you this? How could I possibly do such a thing?" Ming Lan started to argue. She knew she absolutely couldn’t admit to this. Even if the facts were just as the old man said, she couldn’t admit it. Otherwise, not to mention asking the old man to help the Ming Family, even she herself might not be able to save herself.
