Cheng Linfang spoke eagerly, but she only touched on it. The following content seemed to make her have some unspeakable difficulties.
She was the only one who wanted to show off, but Jiang Nuantang had no obligation to coddle her. She pursed her lips and chuckled:
"Whether she did it intentionally or unintentionally, I naturally have the ability to judge. If Mrs. Shao Er thinks that she can change my opinion with just a few words, she'd better give up her mind as soon as possible!
Lest the time comes that I don’t care about blood and family ties and show no mercy!”
A simple sentence made Cheng Linfang's cheeks turn red and white.
In the end, all that was left was anxiety.
She shook her head suddenly and was about to deny Jiang Nuantang's remarks.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Nuantang was faster than her.
He stood up and said calmly:
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first! It's better for you to taste this meal by yourself!"
Jiang Nuantang was about to leave, but he paused again, turned sideways and looked back at Cheng Linfang:
"That's right! If there is nothing else important in the future, I hope Mrs. Shao Er will not contact me.
After all, if a person like me, who has no one to teach me, has no laws, and is ruthless, eats at the same table with you, I'm afraid it will be hard for you to swallow every bite."
After saying this, Jiang Nuantang stopped staying, turned around and walked out.
After experiencing guilt, guilt, and nervousness, Cheng Linfang finally broke free from the quagmire of the past.
As soon as he saw Jiang Nuantang was about to leave, he stopped caring about anything else and stepped forward to stop her without saying a word.
He barely had time to breathe and gasped:
"No! You can't leave! Your mother is still waiting for you to save her!"
Cheng Linfang endured it again and again, and finally blurted out the secret buried deep in his heart.
Jiang Nuantang didn't want to stay any longer and waste time.
But just because of these words...
Stop walking.
He paused and looked at the woman beside him, his lips parted slightly, and he frowned and said:
"What's the meaning?"
Waiting for her to rescue?
Why?
What happened and she needed to be rescued?
And back then——
Did he really not want her on purpose?
In an instant, thoughts were swirling in Jiang Nuantang's mind.
Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to say that she had hope in her heart.
I hope I am not the one abandoned by others.
She didn't fully believe Cheng Linfang's words, her eyes were full of scrutiny and suspicion.
Cheng Linfang also knew that it would be difficult to win her trust.
But having said that, there is no reason to give up halfway.
So she didn't answer Jiang Nuantang's question immediately, but asked kindly:
"These things cannot be said in just a few sentences. Let's go sit down and talk while we wait for the food to be served. Okay?"
Over at the table, the waiter is serving food.
Cheng Linfang looked at Jiang Nuantang with pleading eyes.
Jiang Nuantang pondered for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement.
…
Wait for the waiter to finish serving the food.
Jiang Nuantang did not move his chopsticks, nor did he look at the exquisite dishes on the table that were full of color, flavor and taste.
His eyes fell directly on her face and he said in a cold voice:
"Can we talk now?"
Cheng Linfang had the intention to deceive, but Jiang Nuantang's cold and forceful attitude made her unwilling and courageous.
Finally, he sighed softly and recounted the past:
"Your mother's name is Cheng Linxian, she is my eldest sister. Although she is only three years older than me, she has taken care of me in every possible way since I was a child, and I have always relied on her."
While speaking, Cheng Linfang looked at Jiang Nuantang's familiar eyebrows.
"Whether you believe it or not, I hope you understand that your mother really loves you. She knew that her body was not suitable to bear a child, but she still insisted on giving birth to you."
Cheng Linfang sincerely told her eldest sister's difficulties.
After a pause, he added:
"After you were born, she was even more hands-on and would not let go of you even for a moment! If not -"
The memory gets stuck again here.
Cheng Linfang's eyebrows flashed with pain, as if he couldn't bear to think about it.
Jiang Nuantang was intrigued by her and asked:
"Not what?"
"I don't know the specifics."
Cheng Linfang shook his head, his expression did not look like he was lying.
However, her integrity is not high among Jiang Nuantang.
So in order to make Jiang Nuantang believe it, she had to add:
"I only know that during that time, she suddenly became very nervous, and she would often hug you and wipe her tears. I asked her several times why, but she wouldn't tell me."
Recalling the past, Cheng Linfang felt a little sad, but did not hide it anymore.
After a pause, Fang continued:
"Until one day, she brought you to me and asked me to take you away. She also told me that she had opened an account in the bank, which contained all her savings. Except for daily expenses, the rest would be with you.
When you reach adulthood at the age of 18, it will automatically be transferred to your name...
I don’t know what happened, but seeing that she looked very anxious, I could only listen to her words and take you away, and then go back to look for her after confirming that it’s safe, but there will be no trace of her again.”
After saying that, Cheng Linfang looked up and saw Jiang Nuantang's beautiful eyebrows slightly frowning, her expression condensed.
I was worried that she would associate it with something bad, so I quickly promised:
"But what I can confirm is that she has been alive for all these years. It's just..."
Just living in a place where she can't find it everywhere!
Cheng Linfang lowered his eyes, looking disappointed.
Since her life settled down, she has never given up looking for her sister and her niece.
Over the past twenty years, almost every method has been used.
But it's like finding a needle in a haystack...
Nothing was found.
As time goes by, the hope of finding it becomes increasingly slim.
Cheng Linfang gradually gave up hope.
The people to hire are still found, but they are no longer as interested as before.
But at this time, God seemed to be deliberately playing a joke on her, allowing her to find her niece, but she also had a problem.
There is an insurmountable hurdle between them.
He couldn't talk to her heart to heart, and he couldn't further make up for her debt.
Cheng Linfang was deep in thought when he suddenly heard a sentence coming from in front of him:
"How are you sure?"
Jiang Nuantang looked at Cheng Linfang, his amber eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.
Cheng Linfang panicked, turned his eyes away, looked around and said:
"I can't tell you the definite basis for now, but you will know when the time comes."
Worried about the other party's insistence, Cheng Linfang spoke uneasily.
Fortunately, Jiang Nuantang did not force anyone to do anything.
Seeing that she had made up her mind and didn't want to say anything, he changed the subject and asked another doubt in his mind:
"If that's the case, then why didn't I grow up by your side?"
"this……"
Cheng Linfang's eyes flickered, and his already at a loss expression made him feel even more guilty.
It's been a long time since I could tell you why.
This time, Jiang Nuantang did not let her escape and asked a little aggressively:
"It was previously rumored that you gave birth to a daughter before you married Mr. Shao. Are you referring to me?"
If this is the case, it would make sense for Cheng Linfang to abandon her as a dragster in order to marry Shao Bojian.
It's rare that someone doesn't judge people's hearts with the deepest malice.
Jiang Nuantang rationalized Cheng Linfang's behavior in her heart, but saw her shake her head and replied softly:
