Chapter 379: Chapter 379 Some Regret
"Isn’t there a possibility like this?" The Old Madam Jiang’s eyes gleamed with a dark light. She thought it was quite possible that Shangguan You had cuckolded Jiang Yun.
"How could that be? Boss and Shangguan You have such a good relationship, how could Shangguan You do something to betray Boss?" Old Jiang was somewhat in disbelief, as Shangguan You and Jiang Yun were a pair brought together by free love.
At first, they were against the two being together. It wasn’t until they learned that Shangguan You wasn’t a daughter of an ordinary family that they agreed.
Since the two of them got together on their own, Old Jiang was not inclined to believe that Shangguan You would do such a thing.
Upon hearing such words, Jiang Rui and An Ru were somewhat displeased with the Old Madam Jiang and said, "Dad, Mom, sister-in-law wouldn’t do such a thing."
"You know people by appearance but not by heart." The Old Madam Jiang coldly glanced at An Ru, unable to muster any liking for her.
After marrying into the Jiang Family for over a decade, she couldn’t even keep a child. Even if it was due to Ming Lan’s scheming, her inability to keep the children showed her incompetence.
Stung by the sharp glance of the Old Madam Jiang, An Ru lowered her gaze slightly, growing even more resentful of the Old Madam.
Because she had lost several children, the Old Madam Jiang had always disliked her. But could she really blame her for that?
Jiang Rui felt bad seeing his wife’s aggrieved expression. He quietly held her hand, offering silent comfort.
An Ru felt warmth in her heart. If it weren’t for Jiang Rui treating her well, she would have divorced him and left long ago.
Their spousal interaction was unnoticed by the Old Madam Jiang, who was discussing with Old Jiang, "Old man, don’t be skeptical; this kind of thing isn’t impossible."
"Don’t worry, I’ll get to the bottom of this."
Jiang Rui, realizing there was nothing more for him to say, did not want to sit there watching his parents’ moods any longer. So he said, "Mom, Dad, it’s getting late. An Ru and I will head back now."
After speaking, he didn’t wait for a response and stood up, ready to leave.
Seeing Jiang Rui preparing to leave, An Ru naturally followed suit, leaving with him.
Once they had left, the Old Madam Jiang and Old Sir Jiang exchanged a glance before she said, "Old man, did we make a mistake by cutting ties with Mingzhu?"
No matter what, Jiang Mingzhu had grown up under her care. Although she was angry about what Jiang Mingzhu had done before, such a long time had passed that her anger had faded, and she found herself recalling Mingzhu’s good qualities instead.
In fact, Old Sir Jiang also felt some regret, so when he heard the Old Madam Jiang’s words, he sighed deeply.
The matter had already occurred, and regret was of no use now.
For now, they should first investigate what was really going on with Cheng Li.
The couple sat for a while longer before returning to their room to rest. As for Cheng Li, she had already been forgotten by them. The Jiang household staff, who tended to flatter the high and tread on the low, naturally didn’t bother with Cheng Li either. So, on this night, Cheng Li had no bed or blanket to use.
On a cold winter night, even though the Jiang Family’s home was warmly colored, Cheng Li was still freezing inside the house, too cold to sleep despite her exhaustion.
As the night grew deeper, Cheng Li became colder and more tired, her eyelids drooping with fatigue. She hugged herself, curled up in the corner of the room, her entire body trembling.
At this moment, she thought of the little match girl, of that child who froze to death at night. If she were to freeze to death like this, she wouldn’t let Jiang Xue off even in death.
Thinking this, Cheng Li fell into a hazy sleep.
