Chapter 141 Tell the truth
Ding Hong remembered that he was about seven or eight years old at that time. Fan's mother had a big belly, and Fan Jiayao proudly said that there was a beautiful little sister inside. Later, he heard that the little sister was gone, and Fan's mother was sent overseas for recuperation. He felt very sad for the Fan family, especially his good friend, but he didn't expect to see Fan Jiayao who was still alive and kicking at school. Ding Hong was very puzzled, and only after asking did he know the truth. This also became the first real secret that the two kept together.
A few years later, the Fan and Ding families decided to send the two good friends to study abroad in the same school. It was at that time that his parents told him in detail about Fan Jiaer's specific situation.
Since she was born, Jia Er has been fostered in a family of three named Chen. The man is a capable subordinate of Fan's father, who was assigned to a local company to take charge of the company, and the woman is Fan's mother's high school best friend. Speaking of which, the Fan family is also the matchmaker for the couple, so the Chen family is quite trusted both in public and private. With the help of the Chen family, Fan's mother gave birth smoothly. She reluctantly completed all the custody procedures for her daughter who was only one month old, and immediately returned to China to join the wives' circle to help her husband in his career.
"Since I was little, I have always felt that there was something between me and my mother. I felt that my mother was like a fake person, with no other expressions except a smile. My friends all envied me for having such a good-tempered mother, but I have counted how many expressions she had when she cared for me, or criticized and punished my brother. That is what a mother should be like. As for my father, he was busy with work and had limited time at home, so he was even more unfamiliar."
Jiaer recalled with a desolate and sad expression: "So I was naughty in all kinds of ways, smashing my mother's favorite vase, breaking my father's fishing rod, and knocking over the model that my brother had worked so hard to build. But it was no use, my parents would just smile and not provoke any other reaction. My brother, who was full of youthful vigor, pointed at me and scolded me a few times, but he was hesitant to say anything or was simply interrupted by my mother. On the contrary, the family who visited every few months were very friendly to me, especially the aunt who came more frequently, as if she could never get enough of me. When she heard my mother talking about my bad deeds, she would teach me and criticize me."
"Jiaer..." Fan Jiayao couldn't bear to listen any more, but after receiving the hint from Ding Hong's eyes not far away, he realized that he should let his sister vent all the resentment in her heart.
Fan Jiaer remembered that on her eighth birthday, the uncles and aunts of the Fan family came to celebrate with her. On that day, she learned something new. It turned out that her sixth sense was right - her mother was not her mother, her father was not her father, and the people with the surname Fan were her real parents.
"At that time, I asked why they gave birth to me but didn't raise me. They said there were bad guys who wanted to harm me, and entrusting me to the Chen family would be better protected. But the bad guys were still there, so we still couldn't recognize each other, let alone live together. I believed it at the time, and for several years afterwards I was trembling with fear and suspicion, and even had difficulty communicating with normal classmates. But everyone was happy to see it happen, and didn't worry that I would let the cat out of the bag and ruin the family's future."
"Later, I was transferred to a boarding school for the same reason you said: my parents took great pains to arrange it for me, so that I could go to the same school with my brother to strengthen our relationship."
Jiaer tilted her head and looked at Fan Jiayao: "But where are you? If I hadn't transferred to another school, at least I could go home every day and enjoy a normal family life, even if it was just perfunctory social activities. But I was locked up in the school because of you, and I can only chase after you and your best friend, and I can't even say a word easily. You only act like a good brother when my parents come to visit, and secretly threaten me not to tell on you."
"Yes, I am really sorry. I was in puberty at that time..."
"Yes, adolescence! Brother, you wasted your adolescence so recklessly! Do you know how I spent my adolescence?" Fan Jiaer approached her brother step by step, forcing him to not escape her eyes: "Since I learned about my life experience, I deliberately pretended to be obedient and tried my best to please my parents more in the limited time we spent together. Because of the Chen family's snobbery and ability to adapt to the situation, if they find that I am of no use, life will be more difficult. But this also caused trouble in the future. Seeing that my father's business territory was expanding, the Chen family wanted to make a baby marriage to get a share of the pie, and rushed to send his son to our school. So a ridiculous scene happened: my real brother despised me, and the fake brother tried his best to get close to me and brainwash me secretly. But my parents are very optimistic about this childhood sweetheart script, and you are the happier person! Because you have a legitimate reason to pass the buck, and you are fanning the flames to help that scum create opportunities to get close to me."
"Scum? Although you don't have feelings for him, Chen Xiang is a good person." Fan Jiayao frowned and looked at Ding Hong for confirmation. Seeing that Ding Hong had no objection to his words, he continued, "You also complained that we played wildly at that time, but he studied steadily and was a good student. Later, you made it clear that you didn't like him, and your parents respected your opinion and stopped matchmaking, but you did feel regretful."
"Dutiful, good student?" Jiaer sneered, "Even if you play with eagles all day long, you will get pecked in the eye by an eagle. It's not your fault. He deliberately creates an image in front of people that is not easy to expose. After all, I grew up in that family. Even if I go to boarding school, I have to be picked up during the holidays... Well, forget it, let's just put it this way, he likes tall and plump girls, which has nothing to do with me. Two weeks ago, you forced me to go back to attend his wedding. When I saw his wife, she was really tall, but as thin as a skeleton, with a figure that was difficult to distinguish between the front and the back, I knew there would be no love in this marriage, at least for Chen Xiang."
Fan Jiayao was silent. Chen Xiang's new wife was the youngest daughter of the local chief Chinese businessman, who was very favored by the family. This was one of the reasons why her parents ordered her and her brother to attend the wedding. On the other hand, they had to take into account the kindness of the Chen family in raising her.
As my sister just said, his parents and he were not completely unaware. But at that time, the Chen family was the best choice, whether it was the simple family structure, the education of the couple or the solid foundation in the local area. The most important thing was that they had perfectly solved the trouble of Jiaer's background for the Fan family, and their contribution was not small. As for the lack of disguise of family affection and the calculation of child marriage, those were inevitable small flaws in human nature.
"Want to know why I became what you call a 'heretic'? Do you still remember the 'bad guy' who wanted to harm me? Brother, if you hadn't been annoyed by my pestering and drunkenly used this incident to mock me as a fool, I don't know if I would have been kept in the dark for the rest of my life."
Fan Jiayao was shocked! He didn't know his sister knew the lie, and he had no idea that he was the one who exposed it!
"At that time, I was in agony and helpless and just wanted to die. The one who comforted me happened to be..." Jia Er avoided the man's name and continued, "The other great contributor was Chen Xiang. In order to get rid of him, I deliberately made him know that I already had a partner, so that he finally gave up the idea of becoming a son-in-law."
It's not that easy. Fan Jiaer sneered. The truth was that Chen Xiang still didn't give up until he witnessed a thrilling scene between him and that person, which completely defeated his unreasonable thoughts. However, after that, he officially entered the circle and went deeper and deeper.
"The Chen family was afraid that they would be blamed by you for poor supervision, so they concealed this matter. Naturally, I dared not say anything. What I always look forward to is to return to China to reunite with my family and find my true identity. This is also the reason why I changed my major in college, studying a flashy major instead of economics, in order to prevent you from staying overseas to work for the family business. How could the Chen family be completely unaware of my actions? Since I can no longer become your daughter-in-law, then you should keep me useless. It would be best if you can't stand it and arrest me and bring me back to China so that they can completely hand over the task to you."
Jia Er told her everything. She wanted to confirm her family's attitude after knowing it. Now that the plan for many years has been basically completed, there is no need to pretend anymore. She is really tired. If her parents disappoint her again, she will just break up! Anyway, she has grown up and she has only been Miss Fan for two years.
"Besides being extremely sorry, I don't know what else I can do..." Fan Jiayao felt regretful, and what he hated most was that he didn't know how to compensate his only sister.
Fan Jiaer shook her head: "Forget it, let's stop talking about this today. I just hope you won't force me to return to your so-called right path. Thank you for keeping that bar. It allows me to have a place where I can do whatever I want. This is what I envied my brothers the most. There is no need to worry about making friends. I have lived under someone else's roof for twenty years, playing both bad and good. This shows that I am not a fool and I know how to do things."
Turning to look at Ding Hong, he said, "Brother Xiao Jiang, I have no ill will towards her. You mocked Chi Qi as a savior, but maybe you and I are the ones who deserve to be laughed at. I agree to your request, but please take your time and show your kindness, and don't interfere with others under the guise of saving them."
The two brothers in front of me witnessed my transformation from a little girl to where I am now. I'd better make them feel guilty after talking about it today! I really have to thank her for not letting the two grown men, especially my brother, shed a few tears of regret. From now on, no one will be qualified to discipline me!
Hehehe...the more she thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and the smile on her face became even more dazzling. She would never be happy in secret!
Fan Jiaer walked away with a swagger, shaking her hands, leaving the two people in the room stunned.
On the other side: Chi Qi was driving, An Yi was sitting in the passenger seat, opening the lunch box and sighing, "How exquisite."
"It tastes good, eat more."
"Okay." An Yi smiled and replied, then curiously asked, "Why were you driving last night?"
You have to drink when you go to a bar, and besides, the style of this car doesn’t match Chi Qi at all.
"The car belongs to the hotel. I picked one that is easy to drive from the list of cars provided."
"No wonder! Actually, we can just take a taxi. You must not have gotten enough rest last night, and you have to drive today. By the way, when does the hotel require it to be returned? Let me go, it's an automatic transmission, and I can drive slowly."
"This car is more comfortable than a taxi. The housekeeper is going to send a driver. I figured that since I ran away last night, my friends would definitely punish me by treating them tonight. It's just the right time to drive the car back and return it. It's convenient for both of us."
Driver, of course I have to refuse. How can I complete Mr. Ding's task with outsiders present?
In the above conversation, An Yi asked casually and I responded fluently.
Chi Qi secretly sighed that she was able to counterattack and become the general assistant and hold the position. Sister An An did not rely solely on the boss's favoritism, nor was she a simple-minded little white rabbit who was easily overthrown. The few ordinary words just now had already made the subtle unreasonable points clear.
Was he worrying about others for nothing? He quickly dismissed this thought. In the face of absolute strength, no matter how smart the rabbit was, it would be hard for it to escape the tiger's pursuit.
