C1323 Recalling the Events of the past
"I know!" Jiang Zhanyi nodded in understanding.
Qin Hantian could not be blamed.
"I don't know if you know about the scandal of the Jiang Family, but your grandfather and mother-in-law are here. Let them tell you." Qin Hantian said slowly, "Old man Jiang, let Gong Shangyu tell him so that Xue Chen doesn't think we will lie to him."
"If Gong Shangyu says anything wrong, you can add it."
Jiang Zhanyi nodded and did not say anything.
"Miss Gong, I don't know if you are willing to recall such things. If you are not willing, I can help you."
After hearing Qin Hantian's words, Gong Shangyu coldly snorted. "What do I not dare to remember?"
As she spoke, Gong Shangyu took a deep breath. At this moment, her expression also became lost. At the same time, her eyes also became a little dim.
"Xue Chen, although I don't really want to talk about this matter and I don't want to admit it, I can only tell you now that we have reached this stage!"
"Is it about Second of the Jiang Family?" Xue Chen took out a cigarette from his body and lit it for himself.
Gong Shangyu looked sad when she heard Xue Chen's words. "You know?"
"I heard a little. He seemed to have done something harmful to China for the position of the family head, causing the Jiang Family to fall into danger."
Xue Chen knew all of this from Jiang Ehuang. However, it was not much. He only knew that what Second of the Jiang Family did back then had pushed the Jiang Family into an irrecoverable place.
It was very difficult to bring the dead back to life. Only by marrying with other families could the Jiang Family be saved.
"That's right!" Gong Shangyu nodded. "In fact, Jiang Xuyao loved your mother very much in the beginning. The two of them were also talking about marriage, but because of Second's betrayal, Jiang Xuyao and your mother went to a different place."
"Second from the Jiang Family sold a uranium mine at a low price to foreigners for his own benefit." Gong Shangyu said with a complicated expression, "uranium is a kind of radioactive element. It is very rare, and our country does not have a lot of uranium resources. Moreover, this kind of thing is the key material to make nuclear weapons and build a nuclear power plant."
"For any country, uranium is definitely a very expensive thing, not to mention for a country like our country that lacks resources!"
"Back then, the Jiang Family owned 40% of the shares of a uranium mine. Your father and your uncle each took 20%, and the remaining 60% is in the hands of the country!"
"But your second uncle sold 20% of the uranium mine for his own personal gain. Furthermore, he sold it at a low price so that others could help him become the family head!"
"Later on, the matter fell, and this caused the Jiang Family to become the target of public criticism, and they were even treated as traitors!"
"Under such circumstances, the Jiang Family's Second must die! Otherwise, it would be impossible to quell this anger. Moreover, the person who killed your Jiang Family's Second was your father!"
I heard that Second from the Jiang Family asked him to die in your father's hands. "
"Second from the Jiang Family is dead, but the storm hasn't disappeared. The Jiang Family has become the target of public criticism. They have been seen as a thorn in their side, especially those who had grudges with the Jiang Family in the past. They want to use this opportunity to destroy the Jiang Family."
"Back then, the Jiang Family was in a precarious situation, and could fall at any time. Also, I'm afraid that someone has poked your backbone for the rest of your life because of this matter, Elder Jiang."
Jiang Zhanyi's face was filled with shame.
This was something his son had done. Moreover, he had betrayed his country. This was equivalent to slapping his face, making him feel ashamed.
Moreover, it was also because of this matter that Jiang Zhanyi retired two years earlier. He no longer had the face to continue governing.
It was also because of this matter that Jiang Zhanyi, who had been honest all his life, could no longer raise his head in front of others. He felt that he was inferior to others in everything he did.
Even though so many years had passed, this incident was still a great humiliation to the entire Jiang Family. It was a taboo, and no one was willing to mention it.
"The Jiang Family is in a precarious situation and is about to collapse at any time. If we want to stabilize the Jiang Family and leave a slim chance of survival, the best way is to form a marriage alliance!"
"Bai Yuqi liked Jiang Xuyao. This was not a rare thing in the capital at that time. Many people knew about it, so the two families got married!"
"As for who it was that got married to who, I don't know. But I know Bai Guiqi saw the Qin Imperial Seal on your mother's body."
"And so, the current situation occurred!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Gong Shangyu sighed, "That's all I know!"
"At that time, the Qin Imperial Seal was placed in Jiang Family. No one cared. They all thought it was just a toy. Bai Guiqi probably recognized it when he saw it." Jiang Zhanyi added. "But this matter happened before the Jiang Family got into trouble."
"Later, something happened to the Jiang Family. I went to talk to Bai Guiqi. I hope Bai Guiqi can help the Jiang Family for the sake of our friendship in the past." Jiang Zhanyi began to add, "Initially, I didn't have much hope, but who would have thought that he would agree without hesitation."
"I didn't know he was after the Qin Imperial Seal. He just asked me to cut off Xuyao's relationship with your mother."
"By the way, your mother was in the capital at the time."
"I originally wanted to let Xuyao go to your Bai Yuqi and let your mother be a child. But who knew that Xuyao's reaction back then was very intense..."
Jiang Zhanyi paused for a moment and said again, "But in the end, he could not withstand my soft and hard grinding. He agreed but did not tell your mother."
"Although Bai Guiqi made the conditions, I think he would not care so much."
"But who knew that when we agreed and prepared for the wedding, Bai Guiqi made a move against your mother..." Jiang Zhanyi said with a bitter face, "The things that happened after that were more or less as you know now. The Qin Imperial Seal was completely exposed and all parties fought for it. When Xuyao and Bai Yuqi got married, they set up an inescapable net!"
"We were just waiting for your mother to appear and your mother still came foolishly. In the end, she was surrounded and attacked. If Gong Shangyu did not sacrifice her life to protect your mother, your mother would have definitely died in that battle!"
"Xuyao wanted to attack, but he was held back by me. Instead of saying that it was Xuyao who killed your mother, it should be more accurate to say that it was me!"
As he spoke, Jiang Zhanyi's face revealed a strong sense of regret.
"I can testify to this!" Qin Hantian suddenly took over and said, "Back then, I was right beside you!"
"It turns out you bunch of old fogeys are up to no good. No wonder my sister didn't believe Jiang Xuyao would be so cruel."
"I'm sorry. I know that I hid it from you for such a long time. After you know it, you will definitely have resentment towards me..." Jiang Zhanyi looked at Gong Shangyu apologetically and said.
Gong Shangyu coldly snorted, "Tomorrow, get out of here for me..."
"Miss Gong, we are at fault, but we can't do anything about the situation. If Old Man Jiang doesn't stop Jiang Xuyao, will the outcome change?"
"It can't be changed. It's the same. If Jiang Xuyao dares to do anything out of line, everyone in Jiang Family will be swallowed by him. Not even their bones will be left. Does he dare to do this?"
Gong Shangyu fell silent.
"And Miss Gong, if it were you back then, what would you do to protect someone? It's better to protect the family, which one is heavy and which one is light. I'm afraid I don't have to say much."
Gong Shangyu sighed slightly and slowly turned her eyes to Xue Chen.
Xue Chen was sitting on the sofa smoking. He did not stop at all. It was as if he was eating a cigarette.
He had never thought that the culprit who killed his mother was Jiang Zhanyi, not Jiang Xuyao.
"But there is something I need to say. I really did not know that Jianing was pregnant. I really did not know. Regardless of whether you believe me or not, I will tell you. If I knew, I would not do it like this."
"If the Jiang Family falls, it will fall. We can just leave the capital directly. However, we cannot use the children of the Jiang Family to exchange for the future of the Jiang Family..."
Xue Chen took a deep breath. "Are you done?"
"Xue Chen.."
"I want to be alone."
Xue Chen stood up and walked outside.
At this moment, Xue Chen's heart was in chaos. He realized that what happened to his mother back then was a hodgepodge. Everything was very chaotic.
However, the culprit must be Jiang Ruloong's father. Next would be Jiang Zhanyi, and then Jiang Xuyao!
As for the others, they were at most the same as Jiang Zhanyi, mainly Jiang Ruloong's father. If it wasn't for him, none of this would have happened.
"Xue Chen, no matter what you think, blood is thicker than water. No matter who you hate, I hope you can go back to the capital to accompany your father. Bai Yuqi has been hard for so many years, especially now..." Qin Hantian shouted at Xue Chen's back.
Xuanyuan Yidao, who had been silent the whole time, sighed slightly. "Chief Elder Qin, you are too anxious. You have omitted a lot of things. Now you have made Xue Chen's heart a mess."
"And your Gong girl. You don't know much. Don't talk nonsense. Xue Chen must know what you said. You did not see him calm when you said those things. He was only slightly moved when Zhanyi added it."
"Sigh, I'll go and see Xue Chen. You guys can chat."
