Shocking! My Rugged Husband is the Hidden Tycoon in the 70s Novel-Chapter 366: In Both Lifetimes, His Mother Severed His Marriage Ties
Liu Qidong restrained his temper, "Comrade Jiang, you might have misunderstood. We don’t mean to threaten you, we are cooperating now. You tell us the information you know;
I think you might have your wishes too, but your actions are restricted now, maybe you need us to provide some support."
"Are you mocking me? Do you think I’m a cripple now?" Jiang Chengxu’s voice was simply a torture to Liu Qidong.
He cursed in his heart: Madman!
But he could only placate him.
Liu Qidong said, "I didn’t mean that. Anyone can realize their maximum potential at any time; it just depends on how they cooperate with others."
He didn’t even dare to say hypocritical words like "I sympathize with you." Clearly, this person’s psychology is distorted, and you can’t judge by common sense.
Jiang Chengxu finally felt satisfied, and he asked, "What do you want to know?"
"In your conversation with Comrade Jiang Zhenguo, you mentioned you had a dream, what was the situation in the dream? Do you think that was a life you truly lived, and what’s the biggest difference between that and this life?"
Jiang Chengxu is now immersed in that dream every day, but no matter what, the Qinghuan in the dream was no longer the original Qinghuan in his dreams. Her gaze at him felt like ridicule, which made him uncomfortable.
In the initial dream, Xu Qinghuan admired and relied on him.
"The biggest change is Xu Qinghuan. In the life I dream of, Xu Qinghuan is my wife, not engaged to Jiang Xingye; they met later in life."
Liu Qidong was very disappointed, isn’t this madness?
So why did he come so far to talk to a madman?
"You said the biggest change was Xu Qinghuan, is it just that she’s engaged to Jiang Xingye? At a young age, she is an extremely proficient doctor, was she like this in your dream too?"
Liu Qidong didn’t quite believe Jiang Chengxu’s words; a useless person, imagining things at home, what use could it bring?
But this was a task personally assigned by the Chief.
"She knows a little bit about medicine; she studied under a Chinese medicine doctor named Zhang when she was a child, but in the dream, her skills weren’t that advanced. How could she perform surgery?
She’s not aligned right now. I suspect she’s not the same person as in my dream."
Liu Qidong thought isn’t this nonsense, is that a person in your dream?
But Xu Qinghuan indeed had some suspicious aspects, Zhang Huaishan is a Chinese medicine doctor, not a Western doctor. So from whom did she learn the skills to perform surgeries?
Liu Qidong didn’t obtain useful information from Jiang Chengxu. He asked, "Do you have any wishes that you need us to fulfill?"
"The arsonist is Xu Manman. The police in Anguang County are useless; she escaped. You help me catch her. She is my wife, I’m like this now, you bring her here to take care of me." Jiang Chengxu said.
Liu Qidong agreed without a hint of hesitation, seemingly forgetting, that in the fire disaster, an innocent life was also lost.
This was not something he should care about.
Liu Qidong left five hundred yuan for Jiang Chengxu, "This is a little goodwill from Chief Lu. He and your grandfather were old friends. Now he can’t help in other ways. If you have any difficulties, you can ask the Chief for help, and he will do his utmost."
Jiang Chengxu grabbed the money and smiled, saying "Thank you."
Liu Qidong didn’t dare to look, exchanged some pleasantries, then left.
Shao Qiyun took on a night shift and then an early shift, returning home late, only to hear her son’s voice, "Why are you back so late, are you fooling around outside with wild men?"
Shao Qiyun felt clogged up in her heart; she entered and said gently, "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you hungry? Mom will make dinner for you."
"I want braised pork, you go buy braised pork for me at the state-run restaurant." Jiang Chengxu slapped away the water cup that Shao Qiyun handed over.
The water was just poured from the thermos, splashing on Shao Qiyun’s hand as it fell and also flying towards Jiang Chengxu, scaring Shao Qiyun to the core as she hurriedly rushed towards her son.
But Jiang Chengxu fell backward, the water did not splash on him; he kicked Shao Qiyun away, "Get lost, don’t touch me!"
Seeing her son wasn’t burned, Shao Qiyun also breathed a sigh of relief, "It’s fine; thank goodness it’s fine. Mom will go buy braised pork for you now."
In such a short time, Shao Qiyun’s hair had turned white, and the wrinkles on her face were deep and trenches-like. Her originally keen eyes were now cloudy; if Xu Qinghuan were here, she would certainly not recognize this person as the once proud, disdainful noblewoman who looked down on her low-born daughter-in-law.
The state-run restaurant was about to close; the last ten or so minutes, most guests had left, and the perceptive ones wouldn’t come, knowing even if they came, they wouldn’t be served.
"Please, make me a serving of braised pork; I’ll add twenty cents more," Shao Qiyun pleaded.
"Go away, don’t bother us; we’ve finished work, why are you here?"
"My son wants to eat braised pork; can you help make one serving, I’ll add more money."
"Even two extra yuan won’t do; it’s not the rule. Hurry up and leave, this is terribly annoying, still acting like you’re the wife of a big official, this bourgeois behavior is really beyond belief!"
Shao Qiyun was ruthlessly chased out.
She stood at the door, hearing vulgar curses directed at her from inside, each word piercing her heart.
She had long realized she was no longer the Jiang family’s daughter-in-law.
Jiang Chengxu threw the teacup beside him towards Shao Qiyun, "Didn’t buy it, why did you come back? Oh, are you planning to cut the meat off yourself and make braised pork? Do you have any? Even if you were a pig, I wouldn’t eat your belly pork, do you have belly pork?"
Shao Qiyun’s knees weakened, she knelt on the ground, covering her face crying out loud, "Xuer, it’s Mom who wronged you, Mom didn’t want this either, you’re like this; Mom hurts more than anyone else!"
Jiang Chengxu wobbly walked to her, like a monkey who hadn’t learned to walk, twisted in a way that seemed both ridiculous and pitiable.
Shao Qiyun’s heart felt like being cut by a knife.
Her perfectly good son!
"You say you care for me; if you cared, you wouldn’t have drugged her back then, nor stopped her from having the child! If you cared, you wouldn’t have annulled our engagement; you care about yourself!"
He gripped his mother’s neck, sinister like a demon; yet he couldn’t exert much force with his hands. "Say it, say it, why couldn’t you tolerate her, why wouldn’t you let her be well with me?"
Hello again.
Two lifetimes, both times his mother severed his relationship.
Shao Qiyun dared not struggle, she looked sadly at her son, even though his face was so vicious, what remained in her mind was that once graceful young man.
Though now her heart was filled with hatred.
"Mom will definitely cure you, Mom swears, Mom will use any means to cure you!" Shao Qiyun carefully cupped her son’s face as cold tears rolled down.
Jiang Chengxu brushed her hands off, refusing her touch on his face, "Get lost! How will you cure me? Whom will you bring to cure me? Only Xu Qinghuan can cure me, have her cure me!"
"I will bring her to cure you; you like her, I’ll have her be your wife, alright?"
