Seeing that his wife was here, Luo Cheng waved at her.
Li Xiaoran walked over and looked at Luo Cheng. After confirming that he was fine, she leaned against him and looked at the old lady.
When the old lady saw Li Xiaoran, she looked puzzled, as if she didn’t know Li Xiaoran.
When Li Xiaoran saw the other party’s state, she immediately understood something.
It seemed that the old lady no longer remembered her dream.
That was good, since she didn’t have to waste her breath making up an excuse to hide her abilities.
On the other side, when Jiang Bao heard Li Xiaoran’s question, he seemed to be immersed in his memories.
“At that time, I thought that Miss Yun must have her own difficulties and thought that I could persuade her. I could earn money by working to support her and her father. Therefore, I didn’t have to marry into the family! I could treat her father how I treat my biological father. However, something despairing happened next!”
At this point, Jiang Bao became agitated.
“When I went to look for Miss Yun again, she was about to get married. When I heard this news, I was really about to go crazy!”
With that, Jiang Bao looked at Luo Cheng and then at Wu Qinghe, who had followed behind.
“Can you understand that kind of despair? The girl you love cried like a baby and threw herself into your arms as she said goodbye to you. She was fancied by a local tyrant, who captured her father to threaten her into marrying him obediently! She had no choice. She wanted to save her father, so she could only bear the pain and leave me. At that moment, I really wanted to kill the bully who snatched my beloved!”
At this point, Jiang Bao burst into tears.
“But I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t protect the person I love! At that moment, I hated my parents very much. I felt that it was because my parents didn’t agree to this marriage that I got separated from the girl I love and couldn’t be together with her happily ever after!”
“I don’t know how I got home that day and my mind was in a daze the entire time. When I saw my mother under the cherry tree, all my resentment seemed to have found an outlet and I pushed my mother hard.”
At this point, Jiang Bao immediately became excited.
“I didn’t think of hurting my mother, but after I pushed her, she hit the sharp end of the big rock under the tree. Just like that, my mother fainted and never woke up!”
With that, Jiang Bao looked at his mother.
“Mother, I really didn’t want to hurt you, but at that time, I seemed to have been possessed. When I saw you fall, I immediately came to my senses and felt extremely regretful. All these years, I’ve been praying that I could meet a doctor with brilliant medical skills who could save you!”
“Then what do you mean when you said you were deceived?” Luo Cheng was very rational at this moment. He caught the main point and asked.
“After my mother’s accident, I was in extreme anguish. Miss Yun came to look for me again! This time, Miss Yun seemed to have changed. The way she looked at me became much colder. I thought Miss Yun returned to comfort me, but I was wrong.” Jiang Bao smiled bitterly as he told them in detail.
Miss Yun was here to mock Jiang Bao.
It turned out that Miss Yun had never liked him.
The reason she had pretended to admire Jiang Bao previously was because she wanted to marry into the Jiang family.
In the end, Jiang Bao’s parents were unwilling, so she wanted him to marry into her family.
Unfortunately, Jiang Bao, who had always treated her very well and was willing to listen to her, firmly refused this time.
This made Miss Yun very angry, so she used her marriage to try to provoke Jiang Bao.
However, Miss Yun didn’t expect Jiang Bao to hurt his own mother. This made her feel very disdainful of him.
Therefore, this time, Miss Yun was here to end things with Jiang Bao.
After this, Miss Yun and her father disappeared and were never seen again.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she felt that things were a little fishy.
Everything seemed to make sense, but there was something weird about it.
Before she could say what she felt, the old lady sneered.
“I really didn’t expect my son to be such a hopeless romantic! Do you know why I didn’t agree to you marrying Miss Yun back then? That’s because I saw this Miss Yun entangled with several guys in the village. Tell me, how can I be willing to let such a girl be my daughter-in-law? If I really agree to let you marry her, it will be our family’s misfortune!”
Jiang Bao’s eyes widened when he heard his mother’s words.
“Do you know that I also bumped into her sleeping with a young man from a village? I even heard Miss Yun instigating that young man to steal valuable things from his family! At that time, I was so shocked that I accidentally made a little noise. I thought that I had hidden myself very well and had not been seen by them. Unexpectedly, in a few days, I heard you say that you wanted to marry her. Tell me, how could I have agreed?” the old lady said angrily.
“Mother, why didn’t you tell me back then?” Jiang Bao asked in disbelief.
“How could I? At that time, you were head over heels in love with that girl. You wouldn’t believe me no matter what I said, so I could only object to this marriage without explaining the reasons. Besides, I pitied her because I thought that since she didn’t have a mother to raise her properly, she was insensible, so I didn’t want to ruin her reputation. Who knew that by being soft-hearted, I brought an unexpected calamity to myself? When I realized that I had been harmed by my son, I was heartbroken!” the old lady said regretfully.
If she had known that such a thing would happen later, she definitely wouldn’t have hidden it for Miss Yun and would have let her son see her true colors.
From then on, the truth was revealed.
At this point, Luo Cheng, Li Xiaoran, and the others could retreat.
The woman had already woken up and Luo Cheng had written down the prescription for her body.
Thus, it was time for them to leave.
However, to their surprise, as soon as they walked out of the old man’s house, the men in black who had ambushed them in the inn appeared again.
Seeing this, the old lady quickly called her old man to carry her. Then, she summoned her son, Luo Cheng, and the others. As they fought, they retreated towards the cherry tree at the back of the house.
As Luo Cheng stalled for time, he took out something to smash on the ground.
Soon, thick smoke rose and blocked the men in black’s vision..
