Chapter 678 - He Would Never Be Able to Win Her Heart in This Lifetime
678 He Would Never Be Able to Win Her Heart in This Lifetime
His mother had passed away early. The same went for his father. He did not know what it meant to have a warm family, but it felt like Jiang Yu's adoptive parents had given them a second home.
The brothers did not tell anyone, but they all thought the same thing. Otherwise, they would not have gone to the An family to pay a new year's visit.
Jiang Yu turned to the side. "I have nothing more left to say. Second Brother, let's go."
Jiang Jingnian said angrily, "Indeed, there's nothing left to say. Let's go!"
Jian Hanshen's silence meant that he had tacitly agreed.
Moreover, Jiang Jingnian naturally trusted his little sister's judgment.
The two of them left.
On the spot, Jian Hanshen lowered his head.
His tightly clenched fists slowly loosened, and there was not a trace of light in his eyes.
If he was given another chance...
He would still help Lu Yuan when she had sought him out.
It was a promise that had been made by his father and he would definitely keep it.
But what if he had got to know Jiang Yu first? Would he still do it?
Jian Hanshen was actually unable to answer right away.
But so what?
There were no ifs in this world. Because of this, he was already excluded by Jiang Yu.
He would never be able to win her heart in this lifetime.
…
Jiang Yu and Jiang Jingnian left the research institute and got into the car.
Jiang Jingnian drove. Not long after, he asked, "What are you going to do? Do you need my help?"
Jiang Yu refused, "There's no need. I can handle it myself."
Jiang Jingnian said unhappily, "I didn't expect him to be the one who did it. He's a big CEO, yet he's not embarrassed at all. I'm embarrassed for him!"
Jiang Yu said, "He was only following Lu Yuan's request. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had any reason to frame my father."
"So, are we just going to let it go?"
"Of course not."
Jiang Jingnian was still frustrated, "That woman, Lu Yuan... She's so young yet she's so evil. As expected, like mother, like daughter! I feel disgusted when I think about how the Jiang family raised such a daughter!"
Jiang Yu did not respond.
Jiang Jingnian continued, "I heard that she has been living with that fellow, Jiang Chenglang. It was Jiang Chenglang who raised her. After you were found, were you bullied?"
Jiang Yu: "I'm fine."
"Jiang Chenglang, that blockhead..." Jiang Jingnian mumbled, "If something didn't happen, he probably wouldn't have moved out of the old house with you.
"When that old man was still here, he was quite cruel to us brothers. That's why we fell apart. In fact, now that I think about it, it was because we were young and immature at that time so we blamed each other."
Jiang Yu suddenly said, "He took me out of that house once he found out that Lu Yuan was an illegitimate daughter."
Jiang Jingnian was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter.
"Is that so..."
"It's really his style."
Jiang Jingnian turned the steering wheel and turned around.
The car sped along the road as he looked straight ahead. "We're all the same on this point. The person who betrays our mother is no longer a member of the family. That illegitimate daughter is even more intolerable. But..."
Jiang Jingnian said slowly, "Although he raised that disgusting illegitimate daughter at home because he was stupid, that can't be a reason. Little Sister, I'll help you vent your anger."
Jiang Yu did not reject him this time. "Okay."
She was not worried that Jiang Jingnian would come up with an excessive way to torment Jiang Chenglang.
If it was possible, she even felt that it would not be a bad thing for the other brothers to join in.
Although the forced reporting and self-harming when they were young could be explained by their young ignorance and immature nature, the resentment that they had for so many years could not be dispelled immediately once they figured out the reason.
Only by letting go of this resentment between them could they strengthen their relationship.
Jiang Jingnian was already thinking about how to deal with Jiang Chenglang, but he had not forgotten about Jian Hanshen, Lu Yuan's accomplice.
"If it wasn't because we have already started, I really wouldn't want to save his father. But, sigh, forget it."
Jiang Jingnian's words were meant for Jiang Yu and also for himself.
As a doctor, he had his professional ethics.
Jiang Yu replied, "Yes, we can't break the agreement."
The two of them returned to the Jiang family with their own worries.
After Jiang Yu returned to her room, she made a phone call.
"Jiaxui, where's the person you were supposed to keep an eye on right now?"
After Lu Yuan left the country, Jiang Yu had found out that she was able to leave the country using the help of the Jians, so it had been easy to track her down.
As long as Jiang Yu kept an eye on Jian Hanshen, she would know where Lu Yuan was.
So, she instructed Ding Jiaxu and the others to keep an eye on her.
Ding Jiaxu did not hang up the phone. "Boss, please wait a moment."
Then, he used another phone to make a call.
Jiang Yu clearly heard what he said, followed by the sounds of typing.
Ding Jiaxu cursed, "F*ck!" and said in a panic, "Boss, she's gone."
Jiang Yu was not surprised by this answer.
This meant that Jian Hanshen was not lying to her.
"I got it."
"Boss, should I try to track her down?"
Jiang Yu originally wanted to say "no need", but when the words came to her mouth, they changed to "okay".
In fact, she did not have much hope.
If Jian Hanshen could not find her, then neither would Ding Jiaxu and the others. They were not that familiar with Lu Yuan anyway.
Lu Yuan must have changed her identity. If she was smarter, she would have changed her appearance so that she could hide better and not be discovered.
However, what Jiang Yu found strange was that Jian Hanshen was indeed a person who would not betray the words of an agreement. With his protection, Lu Yuan would not have had to worry for two years.
Although there was a possibility that Jian Hanshen betrayed her out of gratitude after they saved Old Master Jian. Based on Lu Yuan's suspicions, she might have thought that way.
So, had Lu Yuan been planning to flee after she had left the country?
A country was a big place and provided her with many places to hide. It would be hard to find her.
Jiang Yu turned on her computer and typed on the keyboard, but she did not find anything.
When Lu Yuan had left her overseas residence, she had avoided the surveillance cameras. After that, her face did not appear on any of the other surveillance cameras.
'She really changed her appearance.' Jiang Yu thought as she pinched her chin.
After leaving the Jiang family, did she suddenly become smarter?
Does unexpected change make people grow up?
…
Not long after, Jiang Chenglang also learned that Lu Yuan was missing.
He canceled the meeting and returned home, only to find...no one was home?
Jiang Xingyi had gone to work, and Jiang Zeyu had been staying at the club recently because of the league tournament.
Jiang Jingnian had disappeared without a trace. Jiang Chenglang did not know where he had gone.
But why was Jiang Yu not there?
Jiang Chenglang looked at his phone, but there was no text message from Jiang Yu.
After he dialed Jiang Yu's number and heard the chatter from the other end of the line, he subconsciously frowned. Only then did he learn that Jiang Yu was on her way to another city to participate in an esports competition.
