Chapter 421 – The Person Who Looked Similar To You Was Your Mother?
Uncle Huang had come out of the awning at one point and was looking at the flowers in the yard. When Jiang Ruolan saw this, she went to wash the fruits he had brought and gone towards him. "Uncle Huang, this is the fruit you brought, let's eat together."
Hearing her voice, Uncle Huang turned around to look at her and smiled, "I have eaten this fruit every day until I got tired. I brought it especially for you, Miss Jiang. You are pregnant now, it is good to eat more fruit."
Jiang Ruolan smiled and put the plate on the bench, "Uncle Huang, usually you're so busy, I didn't expect to see you today. Looks like you have a deep friendship with grandpa. I never heard this from you the last time we met."
"Our friendship cannot be described as close, however, we have indeed known each other for many years. We had some interaction in recent years, but not so much." Uncle Huang smiled and looked at Jiang Ruolan again. He seemed to have something to say, but after a moment of hesitation, he didn't say anything.
Noticing that Uncle Huang seemed to have something to say, Jiang Ruolan looked at him while asking, "Uncle Huang, do you have something to say to this junior?"
"Miss Jiang, the person who looked similar to you that I told you about last time was your mother, right?" He suddenly asked softly.
Jiang Ruolan was stunned for a moment and then nodded her head, "Uncle Huang, you've guessed it already?"
"I've been guessing for a long time, I'm just not sure." Uncle Huang's gaze was quite meaningful. When he said this, he really sighed." Your surname Jiang, it seems …"
He paused, then shook his head. "I've told her before, the bystanders know nothing about her and Jiang Guanyu, but she's so obsessed with the past."
"Do you know what happened to my mother?" The last time she heard Uncle Jiang's words, they sounded vague. Although Jiang Ruolan took it to heart, she didn't dare to ask further. However, now that Uncle Huang knew she was Zhou Qingling's daughter, she couldn't let this chance pass just like that. "Uncle Huang, you know what happened to my mother at that time, right?"
Uncle Huang looked at her, "Xiaoling, she …Is she really dead?"
Jiang Ruolan was stunned. "How did you know?"
Uncle Huang said in a low voice, "I find it strange. Recently there was a lot of news coming from G City. It's said that 21 years ago, a young woman committed suicide in a certain building in G City, but the news was sealed very tightly. Since it's already happened for a long time, why would it spread out in one night and even spread to F City."
Jiang Ruolan didn't quite understand, but when she heard Uncle Huang say this, she suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Xiong Ruogang suddenly called her and asked how she was feeling. She (Xiong Ruogang) also said that no matter what happened in the past, she (Jiang Ruolan) cannot let her happiness be affected by the past.
At the time, Jiang Ruolan thought something had happened to Xiong Ruogang, but now, it seemed like all her guesses were wrong. How did the news of her mother's suicide spread to F City?
Xiong Ruogang had once accidentally seen those bloody photos of her mother, so was that why she guessed that the woman who committed suicide was her mother?
Jiang Ruolan was confused.
What had happened?
Things like this were clearly not something the Jiang Family had done because it obviously suicides for them if this news spreads.
Was this why her mother's grave had been visited so often by many people recently? Could it be that they were journalists and were trying to investigate the truth of this matter? Or maybe, they were old friends of her mother who had just found out her mother was dead.
Looking at Jiang Ruolan's expression, Uncle Huang already knew the answer without her answering. He even sighed and looked at the flowers and trees in front of him without saying anything else.
Jiang Ruolan pondered for a moment. She thought about how Xian Zihao went to G City quietly a while ago. That's because he had heard the news and didn't tell her about it because he didn't want her to be worried. Instead, he personally went there and checked the situation for her.
"Uncle Huang, can you tell me what happened to my mother?"
Jiang Ruolan knew that Uncle Huang might not know the cause of her mother's death, but he must know some of the things that happened a few years before her mother committed suicide.
"Were you four years old when she died?" Uncle Huang hesitated for a moment and then turned to look at her.
Jiang Ruolan nodded.
Uncle Huang also nodded. "Looks like that's true. When she was in my place, she was really pregnant with you."
"At the time, Xiaoling was much younger than me, and she had a great future ahead of her. She shouldn't give up her life because of a man who didn't love her. If I knew all this was going to happen, I would not hesitate at that time."
"If I had been a bit selfish back then, I would have taken her away from G City and made her leave Jiang Guanyu, that bastard. I can be your father. Although we have no blood ties, I believe that I would treat you better than that bastard. At least I will not make you suffer."
Uncle Huang frowned. He sighed and shook his head. "I shouldn't have left that year. I really shouldn't have."
Jiang Ruolan was suddenly moved by what Uncle Huang said, and her eyes began to burn. It was unknown whether it was because of his feelings towards her mother or because of what he had said about the fatherly love he wanted to give her.
Although fate did not allow it, there had once been a person in this world who thought of giving her a fatherly love, giving her mother and her a home, and giving her mother a blissful life. This made Jiang Ruolan feel very gratified.
She smiled. "My mother overlooked the diamond in front of her eyes because her life was already full of grief. Maybe you weren't destined to marry her in this life. You haven't been married for so many years, it shouldn't be because of her, right?"
Uncle Huang laughed. "It's because of her."
Jiang Ruolan remained silent.
She suddenly felt that her mother's life was very sad. At that time, there was such a good person who guarded her, cared for her, and loved her. Why must she chase after that useless man? Why would she die for him instead of looking back at the people who were waiting for her?
Women. Not only stupid but very hateful.
Jiang Ruolan didn't want to bring up such heavy topics again. She adjusted her state of mind and suddenly thought of Jia Zhenzhen. She directly asked, "Uncle Huang, do you know Jia Zhenzhen?"
He thought back carefully and said, "Not really, but I heard your mother say that this Jia Zhenzhen should have been a good friend of hers back in the day. They studied painting together in the United States and they have a very good relationship. I was also very curious later on. Although Jia Zhenzhen wasn't very close to me, she knew my feelings for Xiaoling, but after Xiaoling died, she didn't even try to find me and tell me about it."
"That's because Jia Zhenzhen has gone crazy. She was locked up in a very secluded sanatorium in the United States for more than twenty years." Jiang Ruolan said.
Uncle Huang looked at her in surprise. "In the same year as your mother's suicide?"
Seeing Uncle Huang's expression as if he knew something, Jiang Ruolan did not hide the secrets this time. Instead, she nodded, "Yes, the same year."
Uncle Huang looked away and slowly walked to the side as if thinking of something.
"Do you know what happened that year? Why on earth did my mother commit suicide and Jia Zhenzhen gone crazy? Was it a coincidence, or was it planned? Uncle Huang, do you know something?" Jiang Ruolan hurriedly followed him and whispered.
"If I'm not wrong …" Uncle Huang stopped walking and seemed to be considering something. Then he looked back at Jiang Ruolan and immediately frowned. He suddenly turned his head and looked around at the Xian Residence and then at Jiang Ruolan's body and her big stomach. His lips moved, but nothing was said.
Jiang Ruolan, on the other hand, was confused by his gaze and felt a burst of panic due to her sixth sense. She followed his gaze and looked around. "Is there something wrong?"
