355 It Will Get Better Day by Day
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Xi was stunned. This mochi was quite delicious, especially when matched with brown sugar. It was soft, sticky, and sweet. The taste was also very familiar. When she was twelve years old, she would often sneak out to eat it.
“I’m telling you this, but don’t tell anyone else. I’ve been setting up my stall here for many years. Back then, the Jiang family lived in a dilapidated apartment. That year, my daughter-in-law gave birth. It was raining heavily. I went out to look for a car and saw the head of the Jiang family carrying a child back home with my own eyes. His wife wasn’t pregnant at that time, so the child was picked up from outside. From then on, the Jiang family began to have good fortune. All good things go to them.” The old lady shook her head. It was also because of this that her daughter-in-law’s delivery was delayed and her great-granddaughter became a fool.
Jiang Xi’s heart tightened.
“The Jiang family is also greedy. They locked the child in the house all year long and never let the child out. The Jiang family is a bunch of heartless people.” The old lady sighed with emotion. Before the age of twelve, the child would often run out to eat mochi. If she had no money in her hands, she would stare at the ground and pick up money. She was the luckiest child she had ever seen. Later, on her 12th birthday, Jiang Heming of the Jiang family found out that she had secretly gone out. He slapped the child on the spot, and her mouth was bleeding. The old lady did not know what happened after that.
“After the Jiang family got into trouble, many people came to look for that child. Her biological parents are probably there as well. Sigh, how could they bear to throw away their own flesh and blood?” The old lady sighed. “If that child is still alive, she must hide well. She shouldn’t come out until she has the ability.” As she spoke, she picked up a few more pieces of mochi for Jiang Xi.
Jiang Xi quietly finished all the mochi and wondered if the old lady had recognized her. Before she left, Jiang Xi looked at the old lady and said, “Your great-granddaughter will get better day by day.”
Tears welled up in the old lady’s eyes as she thanked Jiang Xi with her great-granddaughter. Jiang Xi secretly put a stack of 100 yuan bills into the pocket of the old lady’s great-granddaughter, then took a deep look at the Jiang garden and left.
The eighty-year-old lady’s eyes were cloudy, but she smiled as she watched Jiang Xi leave. “Let’s go home. We don’t have to set up a stall anymore. If you really recover like what she says, then my three years of waiting wouldn’t have been in vain.” The old lady washed her great-granddaughter’s hands, packed her things, and left.
Jiang Xi stood on the street. There was a heavy traffic and an endless stream of people coming and going. Suddenly, a few black cars surrounded a custom-made RV. Jiang Xi seemed to have sensed something and looked up. She happened to see the window of the RV in the middle of the crowd open. However, before she could see what was inside, it was blocked by the bodyguards’ car next to it.
“Sanbao, don’t move your hands and feet. You’ve already opened the window. Lil’ Dong, close the window for her. ” Zhao Dehai frowned as he quickly signed his name on the contract.
Lil’ Dong immediately closed the window. Dabao and Erbao seemed to be spirited in an instant. The turbid aura in front of them dissipated a little.
“Mother…” Erbao called her sweetly in a very soft voice. Zhao Dehai suddenly raised his head, and he did not even hold the pen in his hand firmly. “Erbao, Erbao, what did you say just now? Quickly call me Grandpa…”
At this time, the car happened to be parked at the intersection, and Jiang Xi was standing outside the car. Dabao rolled his eyes and said, “Ah… Ah…” This guy did not like to talk when he was in Xilan Nation. He only liked to fight. At this time, he could not even call out for his mother. He could only struggle to get out of the safety seat and look out the window. He was so anxious that his head was covered in sweat. However, the windows were bulletproof. The people inside could see outside, but the people outside could not see inside.
Lil’ Dong was stunned. He looked at Zhao Dehai and said excitedly, “Chairman, your grandson…”
“Go to the hospital, go to the hospital immediately!” Zhao Dehai did not care about anything else and asked the driver to turn around on the spot.
“Chairman, today is the second anniversary of you and the Madam’s wedding.” Lil’ Dong reminded him. Zhao Dehai paused for a moment, then shook his head and told the driver to go to the hospital.
Zhao Dehai’s first wife died of illness when Zhao Dengqi was in his teens. He had not married for many years. There were also women around him who had offered themselves to him. He had slept with them but would not marry them. His current wife, Yang Qin, was someone he had met in France. They had a child after a one-night stand. He only brought the child to his house after Zhao Dengqi’s accident. After the paternity test was done, Zhao Dehai’s expression was particularly interesting. The child was already seven years old now.
