Chapter 003: Seeing Him Again After Rebirth
Jiang Qianhui had no choice but to tell her mother directly.
After her family suffered a tragedy in her previous life, she was traumatized and suffered a stroke, leaving her paralyzed. How did this illegitimate son, whom she had always rejected, genuinely care for her?
He carefully fed her, and fearing she would develop bedsores, he would even get up in the middle of the night to turn her over.
Fearing her muscles would atrophy, I kept massaging her until my hands were deformed from the massage.
His filial piety eventually moved her, and she left a suicide note before taking her own life.
She said she regretted not being good to him in the past, and that if there were an afterlife, she hoped to be his mother and son.
On the day of the burial, the older brother knelt in front of the grave all night, feeling that he had not taken good care of his mother, which was why she committed suicide.
She couldn't let her brother suffer any more injustices in this lifetime.
She was also fulfilling her mother's last wish from her previous life: to get her mother to accept her brother.
“He is your father’s illegitimate son with another woman. How could he be my son? Even if I don’t have a son, I don’t need an illegitimate son to be my son.”
Yang Huirong's words were particularly harsh.
This illegitimate child was like a needle stuck in her flesh that she couldn't remove, and he even caused her to be ridiculed by other upper-class ladies. She hated him to the core.
Yang Huirong didn't want to say another word and walked away with a look of disgust on her face.
Jiang Qianhui felt a sharp pain in her heart as she watched her mother's attitude towards her brother.
She knew that it wouldn't be easy to dispel her mother's hatred and disgust towards her brother.
Jiang Qianhui gave her father a look, signaling him to go and comfort her mother.
Jiang Che saw that Yang Huirong was angry. Although he didn't say anything, Jiang Qianhui saw loneliness and self-blame in his eyes.
“Brother, in this world, sincerity always begets sincerity. Believe me, Mom will eventually understand that you are her son. You are my brother, and we are blessed to have you.”
Having been reborn, Jiang Qianhui feels incredibly proud of the words "you are my brother."
Jiang Che is exceptionally talented, but he has always suppressed his brilliance.
She scolded him because he had gotten first place in the whole school when he was a child, and she felt that he had stolen her limelight and her father's attention.
From then on, he was no longer dazzling or outstanding.
Even in high society, he was a despised illegitimate child.
In everyone's eyes, he is now utterly mediocre, a complete waste of talent.
But in her previous life, it was her brother who helped her, which allowed her to fight Zhan Yanxun for three years.
Otherwise, given Zhan Yanxun's strength, the Jiang family probably wouldn't even last three months.
Her brother's strength is no less than Zhan Yanxun's, and she admits that she is a terrible teammate and a jinx.
In this life, she can't let her brother suffer any more.
She wants her brother to become the head of a conglomerate.
Dinner time.
Jiang Qianhui's family was having a meal, although her mother was unhappy because of her calling her "brother".
However, the overall atmosphere was harmonious.
Jiang Qianhui felt very happy about this feeling of having something lost and then regained.
Just as she was smiling sweetly, she suddenly saw someone, and her smile froze instantly.
The man stood there backlit, handsome as a god, his deep eyes gleaming with a fierce light.
With his thin lips slightly pursed, his brows exuded a cold arrogance that seemed to trample all living beings underfoot.
The moment their eyes met, Jiang Qianhui felt a sharp pain in her heart.
The bullet from her previous life seemed to have traveled through the torrent of time and struck her again.
Her red lips were tightly pressed together, and beneath her feather-like curled eyelashes, her clear eyes were devoid of any warmth.
"What are you here for?"
Jiang Qianhui's words were like a bone-chilling north wind, sending shivers down one's spine.
Yang Huirong and Jiang Zhengguo exchanged a glance, perfectly demonstrating what it means to have one's pupils dilate in shock.
You should know that Jiang Qianhui was extremely gentle with Yan Xun, just like a little lapdog.
How dare you speak to Zhan Yanxun in such a tone now?
The aloof and godlike man frowned slightly, his cold eyes fixed on Jiang Qianhui, and said casually yet meaningfully, "I'm taking you home. Today is our wedding anniversary."
Jiang Qianhui smiled awkwardly. He actually cared about their wedding anniversary?
On this day in her previous life, she specially arranged a grand candlelight dinner and folded up her pregnancy test report as a gift for Zhan Yanxun.
I thought he would be moved and want to become a father himself.
However, he showed no interest whatsoever, as if he were holding nothing more than a report.
His indifferent face was devoid of warmth.
Immediately afterwards, a phone call shattered his mask of indifference, and he hurriedly left.
The female voice on the other end of the phone was Qiao Weiwei.
That night, the French white candles burned out drop by drop, but he did not return.
Jiang Qianhui clenched her hands tightly, the emotions surging in her heart, but she forcefully suppressed them.
"Home? I'm already home." Jiang Qianhui's voice was languid and carefree. Her eyes narrowed as she looked at him, her expression cold and arrogant, as if she were looking at a pile of trash. "Wedding anniversary, those five words are really unlucky. Let's choose something festive: let's get a divorce!"
Jiang Qianhui spoke with extreme ease, yet it was as if a nuclear weapon had bombarded everyone's brain.
Zhan Yanxun frowned, looking down at Jiang Qianhui with a piercing gaze, his scrutinizing aura intimidating.
Yang Huirong sensed Zhan Yanxun's anger, and with a gloomy face, she pulled Jiang Qianhui aside to reprimand her.
"Sui Sui, what kind of filthy thing have you gotten yourself into? I already found it strange when you called that illegitimate child 'brother.' Now you actually want to divorce Zhan Yanxun? You're his devoted follower, you love him to death. You want to divorce him now, you've been possessed!"
Jiang Qianhui frowned deeply.
How much her decision to divorce Zhan Yanxun must have upset her mother.
Her mother never had the heart to scold her, but now she's calling her a simp! And the implication is that she should continue being a simp!
"Sui Sui, what happened? Why do you suddenly want a divorce? Divorce is not something to be taken lightly!"
Jiang Zhengguo's face was solemn, and his tone was full of reproach.
Although her parents love her very much, they are now strongly against her divorcing Zhan Yanxun.
Jiang Qianhui felt increasingly desolate and glared angrily at Zhan Yanxun.
Her eyes were filled with murderous hatred. Her parents were so protective of him, but how had he treated them in their past life?
Suddenly, Jiang Che stepped forward and grabbed Zhan Yanxun by the collar, saying fiercely, "How dare you bully Sui Sui?"
Jiang Che's sudden action made the atmosphere even more tense.
Jiang Qianhui felt a pang of sadness.
Her brother is truly the only one who can unconditionally support her without needing to know the reason.
Anger surged in Zhan Yanxun's eyes, and he was about to kick Jiang Che away.
Jiang Zhengguo had already pulled Jiang Che away first.
"Jiang Che, what's wrong with you? Come here right now."
Jiang Zhengguo pulled Jiang Che away while apologizing to Zhan Yanxun.
After all, Zhan Yanxun was now considered a perfect son-in-law by his side.
Zhan Yanxun was gloomy and cold, and didn't take Jiang Che seriously at all.
He used a handkerchief to brush the wrinkles on his shirt that Jiang Che had just scratched, as if something dirty had gotten on him.
"Brother, is your hand alright?"
