I didn't understand why Peng TouSi brought me to a special education school, or why I would play a game of Go with Xiao Yu. After driving for a while, Peng TouSi slowly opened his mouth and said:
"This school was built with Mr. John's help. There are three other similar institutions in Dong Shan city and forty-one in China."
"Mr. John? Who's that? "
I asked while sitting in the back seat. Later, I reluctantly remembered that John was the American foreign teacher who NTRed my dad, Ai Mi's father, and Ai ShuQiao's current husband.
"Hmph, I heard Ai ShuQiao took away his control of the company and he became a stay-at-home man. Where would he get the money to help the disabled children in China?"
"Well … Although Mr. John no longer manages the company, he has been passionate about charity since he was young. That's why Madam Ai ShuQiao would take a portion of the company's profits and give it to her husband for charity. It's also for the company's image and the American tax exemption policy …"
Did she raise her husband like a willful child? Ai ShuQiao's desire for control is really strong!
"Lin, I know you're prejudiced against Mr. John … No, it's natural for you to hate him. But I also want you to know that Mr. John has always regretted what he did. After he stopped managing the company, he put all of his energy into helping China establish charity schools. But he always used the company's name to donate and never let his name appear on any of the donation forms. Even when people invited him to China to see the results of his charity work, he always used his health as an excuse to refuse — — the real reason is: Mr. John doesn't have the face to return to China. "
"Huh? So what? "
Actually, after I received Ai ShuQiao's call, I no longer hated this blonde foreign teacher as much as before. The fist that I once wanted to hit John's face, now I want to hit Ai ShuQiao's face more.
Even if John appears in front of me again (why again?). At most, he would be Ai Mi's father, a pitiful person who had to do charity to atone for his sins.
Peng TouSi's hands gripped the steering wheel as steadily as Mount Tai on the bumpy dirt road in the countryside.
"Lin, when I returned to America this time, I secretly met with the reclusive Mr. John without Ms. Ai ShuQiao's knowledge. After knowing the situation you are facing now, he asked me to apologize to you on his behalf. He also hopes that you can forget the past and form an alliance with him! "
What? Ally with John? You want me to ally with a foreigner who NTR my dad to deal with my own mother? What kind of unscientific development was this! Also, why would John form an alliance with me to deal with his wife?
"Lin, I won't hide it from you. Actually, Ms. Ai ShuQiao has been reducing the company's charity spending. Due to the recent policy changes in the US, Ms. Ai ShuQiao feels that she can't get much benefit from the tax exemption, so she started to plan to completely cut off Mr. John's aid to China. At the very least, she has to convince Mr. John to change the target of aid to the US. That way, it will be easier to gain the goodwill of the US government."
Well, I wasn't surprised that Ai ShuQiao would do this. In any case, she was the kind of person who wouldn't care about her family after marrying out, and wouldn't care about her ex-husband and son after remarrying.
The image of Xiao Yu pondering in front of the chessboard suddenly flashed in my mind.
"Um, if there's no more aid, will the special education school we just visited close down?"
"It might not close down, but it will experience a difficult period. In the future, the fees for parents will have to be raised to a normal level. I'm afraid some students with family difficulties will have to leave the school …"
According to my understanding, handicapped children and family difficulties are usually related. Does this mean that Ai ShuQiao's decision will cause most children to say goodbye to a caring teacher and a warm collective life?
Ai ShuQiao, is your heart made of flesh? If the Americans think you're the outstanding representative of "China's traditional women", they will immediately press the nuclear button and start World War III on China!
"Um … charity is just a family matter. Also, the US is far away. Even if he formed an alliance with a middle school student like me, it wouldn't benefit John, right?"
"No, it would benefit him." Penthews said resolutely, "As Mr. John grew older, he became more and more devout Christian. He can help you find peace of mind. His exact words were: Because I hurt you before, I don't want you to suffer any more harm … "
This … this is a strange feeling! My birth mother wants to deal with me, but the person who took my mother away from me, Ai Mi's father, wants to help me? Should I be thankful for it, or should I accept it because John owed it to me?
"Lin, Mr. John's current support for you may be limited. Maybe he's only trying to persuade Madam Ai ShuQiao to slow down her actions against you. Also, with Madam Ai ShuQiao's personality, it's almost impossible for her to completely give up her original thoughts. But please believe that Mr. John is supporting you with great determination. Because seeing how cold-blooded Madam Ai ShuQiao is towards her own son, Mr. John has no choice but to face up to something he suspected a long time ago … "
"Hey, you're talking like you're in a detective film. Why are you being so mysterious?"
Penthews was silent for a few seconds, as if he was worried someone would eavesdrop in the empty suburbs.
"Mr. John suspects: His own father, the former chairman of the company, did not suddenly die because of an ordinary heart attack!"
Huh? It's getting more and more mysterious! Could it be that Ai ShuQiao poisoned him?
"… Because Mr. John's father always opposed his marriage with Ai ShuQiao, and he even threatened to deprive his only son of his inheritance, so Madam Ai ShuQiao did have a motive. In fact, Madam Ai ShuQiao was also the biggest beneficiary of the funeral. After that, she moved into the mansion her husband inherited with Ai Mi, who was not even 4 years old. Then, she quickly took over a large amount of business from the dispirited Mr. John and began her own legend as a successful businesswoman. For a person who would spit on a cross, it's hard to explain that it was God's favor for her. "
I trembled with fear as I listened, I felt like I had suddenly arrived in a sinister and treacherous world.
"Although the case was investigated, the technology at the time did not find anything suspicious about her father's death. However, Mr. John has always secretly kept the bowl of tomato soup that her father drank before he passed away. Recently, using the latest testing methods, it was found to contain a natural extract that can induce a heart attack … "
"This, this is clearly evidence of murder!" I almost jumped up in the backseat of the car, "With this, Ai ShuQiao can immediately go to jail! What is John waiting for? "
"No, it's unknown if the judge and jury will accept this latest testing technology. If we don't prepare well and alert the enemy, Mr. John is convinced that he will disappear along with the evidence!"
Damn, it's a tragedy! I thought it was already tragic enough that my dad met such a woman, I didn't expect John to be ten times more tragic! His own father was poisoned to death by his wife, but he didn't dare to expose it. Also, he would pay with his life if he made a mistake!
"In addition, there's another important reason why Mr. John is not willing to use this evidence. Although Mr. John's father did not have a good relationship with Madam Ai ShuQiao, Ai Mi was very close to her grandfather. Mr. John would often bring Ai Mi to improve their relationship … If he opened an investigation of her father's death, Mr. John was worried that his daughter would suffer psychological damage … "
It was indeed a tragedy. Did her own mother poison her beloved grandfather? If her mother was imprisoned for murder, even Ai Mi, who always had a strong opinion of her mother, would not have a happy expression on her face.
"It's not hard to understand why John thinks that way …"
"No, Lin, you don't understand." Peng TouSi said seriously, "If the case is exposed, the damage Miss Ai Mi would suffer would be immeasurable! So, Mr. John does not plan on using this trump card unless it's absolutely necessary. You have to be prepared to fight a protracted war with Mr. John. "
I still don't understand what use I have in this war. Although I won't lose to anyone in my determination to not lower my head to Ai ShuQiao, I don't think I can be used as an intercontinental missile — — do I only act as a counterweight to balance John's conscience?
"Lin, you're more useful than I imagined. Please continue to attract Madam Ai ShuQiao's attention. Try to distract her as much as possible without reuniting with Miss Ai Mi. At the same time, Mr. John will launch more investigations into Madam Ai ShuQiao. Whether it's bribery of US officials or underground dealings with members of the underworld, I believe Madam Ai ShuQiao will yield to the law once enough evidence is gathered. The result that Mr. John hopes to achieve is not to use that trump card, but to use other evidence to force his wife to give up her power in the company and put her under house arrest. This way, the company won't be shaken too much, the profits for charity won't disappear, and Ai Mi won't suffer because of her mother's trial — — can you understand Mr. John's painstaking efforts? "
I can understand … but John is too soft-hearted! Every step of the way is for his daughter, for the charity, and even for the wife who murdered his father!
