Jiang Jingchen wanted Tang Beibei to eat something before going to the nursing home, but Tang Beibei had no appetite at all. She just stared blankly at the bowl in front of her.
Jiang Jingchen said, “Don’t worry. Song Zhou has already gone to investigate. Once he finds out that she has a son, he will investigate the crimes committed by her son. The old woman won’t be able to deny it even if she wants to.”
“Sure.”
Tang Beibei looked at the worried man and said, “Hubby, I feel like crying. What should I do?”
Jiang Jingchen cupped her face. “Cry if you want to. You can do whatever you want with me. You are my Beibei and my precious.”
Tang Beibei blinked once and tears rolled down her face. She sobbed, “I really wished that Rong Chan’er was lying. My grandmother would still be my grandmother. She doesn’t have a son and she was true to me.”
Jiang Jingchen kissed the corners of her eyes. Her tears were corroding his heart.
“I know, I know. You are sad and disappointed. You respected your grandmother very much and have always been an obedient girl.”
Tang Beibei sobbed for a while, but she tried to control her emotions and calm herself down.
“I don’t like crying,” she said.
“Yeah, me neither.” Jiang Jingchen said.
She continued, “I remember one time when 1 danced and fell, it hurt so much. When I went back to the Rong residence, Rong Mei’er even teased me and made me fall again. But I didn’t cry. Later that day when Grandma went to see me, 1 cried.”
“I thought Grandma was there to see me. 1 didn’t expect her to comfort me. 1 was just happy to see her.”
“When Grandma saw me crying, she scolded me and said that it was useless for me to cry because 1 was a child my mother didn’t want. 1 was abandoned. Moreover, 1 looked very ugly and unlikeable when 1 cried. People like me would not get any sympathy even if we pretended to be pitiful.”
“I hated crying after that. 1 felt that no one would care even if 1 cried. Why should I cry? It’s a waste of my emotions.”
Jiang Jingchen could imagine the pitiful little girl at that time. She didn’t ask for love, just a little caring. But the old woman didn’t care about her. She even stabbed her a few times, causing the little girl to be covered in wounds.
He gently brushed away the stands of hair from her cheeks, held her small hand and placed it on his heart as he said, “Beibei, if you cry now, my heart will ache. My heart will ache to death.”
Tang Beibei stopped crying and looked at him in shock.
“Hubby, you, why are you so good to me?”
Jiang Jingchen chuckled and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. “You silly girl. It’s because I’m your husband, the person who will accompany you for the rest of your life. I’m also the closest person to you legally. If I don’t treat you well, who else can 1 treat well?”
Tang Beibei hugged him like a frozen child looking for warmth in his arms.
“Hubby, I will also treat you well, but you must not lie to me. You have to tell me everything, okay?”
“… Sure.”
Jiang Jingchen’s heart felt bitter. He didn’t want to lie to her, but the lies were already stacked on top of each other and he couldn’t take them back.
How could he confess to her that he wasn’t a cripple?
If she found out that he had pretended to be a cripple and lied to her for so long, even made her so worried, would she leave him in a fit of anger?
As soon as Jiang Jingchen thought about the possibility of Tang Beibei leaving him, he tightened his arms around her and hugged her close.
If he had to be a cripple for the rest of his life just to keep her, he would do it!
After dinner, Song Zhou came back and showed Jiang Jingchen the information he had found.
He had investigated Old Madam Tang before, but he could not find anything about her son. It turned out that she had changed her identity card and used the identity of Tang Beibei’s biological grandmother, Tang Minhua.
Now that he used her real name, Tang Cui, to investigate, he found out that she had a son who had been imprisoned for 20 years. Her son was given a life sentence, so she simply cut ties with him.
Jiang Jingchen handed the information to Tang Beibei. Her biological grandmother became a widow young and raised Tang Beibei’s mother alone. However, her mother became a mute after a high fever in her childhood.
Her biological grandmother, Tang Minhua, did not have a good relationship with her in-laws and raised her daughter alone.
Twenty years ago, Tang Cui’s son, Gao Yu, wanted to violate her mother. To save her daughter, her grandmother fought with Gao Yu and was seriously injured. That was why Gao Yu was locked up.
And because of that fight, her grandmother didn’t survive her serious injuries and passed away.
Tang Cui’s son killed her biological grandmother and she lied to her for more than twenty years!
Tang Beibei’s eyes were bloodshot as she stared at the stack of documents she had just read. She really did not expect there to be so many unbearable secrets behind the lies.
Tang Cui even told her to atone for her sins. She should be the one to atone!
“Hubby, I’d like to go to the nursing home now!”
“Alright, I’ll go with you!”
Jiang Jingchen pressed his lips against hers and said in a low and bewitching voice, “I’ll accompany you wherever you want to go, my dear wife. You must hold my hand even if we are going to hell, okay?”
They arrived at Tang Cui’s room in the nursing home.
Tang Beibei stood at the door and took a deep breath before pushing the door open.
Tang Cui was munching on snacks and watching a drama on her phone in bed.
Tang Beibei stared at Tang Cui’s cell phone. She had saved up to buy it for her but she was using it like she was entitled to it.
When Tang Cui heard the door open, she looked up and saw that it was Tang Beibei. She was surprised for a few seconds and said with a smile, “Beibei, 1 missed you so much. Grandma is so happy that you came to see me. Come over and chat with Grandma. I’m so bored.”
Tang Beibei walked over and stared at her face. “What would you like to talk about?”
“Sigh, Grandma was stupid in the past. 1 believed what others told me and misunderstood you. You’re married now. 1 heard that your husband is the eldest son of the Jiang family?”
“Yes.”
Tang Cui was excited. She knew that he was a second-generation heir, but she didn’t know that he was from the prestigious Jiang family.
The Jiang family was a very wealthy family in Capital City. 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘦𝑙．𝑜𝑟𝘨
His family business must be doing so well!
Tang Beibei was married to him. Even if he was disabled and in poor health, Tang Beibei would still get a huge inheritance when he died.
Tang Beibei had always listened to her, so she could definitely make some money off him and not worry about food and clothing in her old age!
“Beibei, the clothes you are wearing are really pretty. Did your husband buy them for you?”
“Look at me in these shabby clothes. You are so filial. Why don’t you get your husband to buy me some clothes too? They don’t need to be very expensive. A few thousand or tens of thousands yuan will do.”
“Oh, right, I’m also not very mobile with my legs. It would be inconvenient for me to look for you. You must visit me every month and give me some money.”
Tang Cui thought that those burly men told her not to contact Tang Beibei. If Tang Beibei came to see her and gave her money, they wouldn’t come and find trouble with her, right?
Tang Beibei looked at the greedy old woman coldly. The last bit of hope in her heart dissipated.
If she really cared about her, why didn’t she ask her how she was doing after being married to Jiang Jingchen?
All she wanted was money, and she treated her as an ATM.
Tang Beibei let out a sad laugh. “Tang Cui, I’m afraid 1 won’t be visiting you anytime soon.”
Tang Beibei was afraid that if she saw her again, she would want to kill her!
