Yan Yidan added, “I also think it’s outrageous, but his aim was too good. He stabbed himself directly in the heart. Su Ran was terrified. The police took her to the station to give a statement, and later, thanks to the surveillance footage, she was cleared of suspicion. It was indeed Zhou Yanbai who wanted to assault Su Ran, and then he slipped and fell down the stairs. If he hadn’t died, and Su Ran had called the police, he wouldn’t have escaped the charge of attempted murder.”
He was holding a knife; he clearly intended to kill someone.
He brought it on himself; the knife in his hand was aimed at himself from beginning to end.
Jiang Nanshu sighed. She remembered that Zhou Yanbai from the original world was eager to come back.
Now look at what happened. He had gone in this world, too.
“What about Su Ran?” Jiang Nanshu asked.
As the female lead in the early parts of the book, Jiang Nanshu was somewhat concerned about Su Ran’s current life.
Mentioning Su Ran, Yan Yidan’s eyes flashed with disdain.
“After Zhou Yanbai died, she immediately went and got together with another wealthy man nearing fifty. However, that man was getting on in years, and she gave birth to his daughter last year. But his legal wife found out and beat her up in the street. In the end, the man couldn’t stand his crazy wife anymore, divorced her, and married Su Ran, giving her a legitimate status. Otherwise, she would still be secretly his mistress.”
Su Ran became a mistress?
This was something Jiang Nanshu never expected.
With her charm, how could she not snag a better and richer second-generation heir?
But she just gave herself to an old man.
“However, Su Ran’s father did manage to expand his business to Beijing through this wealthy man. Su Ran has contributed to the family, hasn’t she?” Yan Yidan commented.
Jiang Nanshu was thoroughly enjoying the gossip.
The outside world was definitely more exciting.
Jiang Yunchuan had something on his mind.
He glanced at Jiang Nanshu every now and then.
Jiang Nanshu wasn’t distant from her fifth brother, nor was she particularly close, maintaining only the blood relation between them.
Jiang Yunchuan also noticed this.
He stopped pressuring her as long as Jiang Nanshu was alright.
Thinking of his brothers’ instructions, he felt a headache coming on, but finally forced himself to ask, “Nan Nan…do you remember Mom?”
Jiang Nanshu was stunned for a moment before remembering Jiang’s mother, who had been diagnosed with stomach cancer before she jumped into the sea.
She was somewhat surprised: “She’s not dead?”
Five years…
She herself passed away after about a year without treatment.
Could treatment have lasted five years?
Jiang Yunchuan was speechless at Jiang Nanshu’s words.
Although her words were somewhat disrespectful, he dared not say anything negative.
The past wouldn’t fade with time; on the contrary, the longer it went on, the more guilty Jiang’s mother felt. Now she was experiencing hysteria, seeing everyone as Jiang Nanshu, hugging and calling out ‘Nan Nan’ to every little girl she passed.
This startled everyone around her.
Later, they had to keep a close watch on Jiang’s mother, forbidding her from leaving the ward.
Meanwhile, her health was deteriorating. The fact that she had endured so long meant she still had a breath left; she still had regrets.
Jiang Yunchuan pursed his lips, a hint of sadness in his eyes: “She’s dying. She’s held on until now after learning you’ve woken up. She wants to see you one last time. Nan Nan…can you go see her?”
Jiang Yunchuan felt a deep ache in his heart. His mother is his biological mother. Even if she had made mistakes in the past, it could not be denied that she had treated him very well since he was born. Compared to Jiang Nanshu, they were both children who grew up in love.
They all knew about the harm she had done to Jiang Nanshu.
But this was his mother’s last wish, so Jiang Yunchuan had no choice but to plead with Jiang Nanshu.
He hoped she could go see her off, so she could pass away peacefully, and not be so confused in her next life.
