At the thought of Chang Yuehuan, Old Madam Chang's face turned pale, but she was still unwilling to admit it. She avoided it and said weakly, "I-Impossible …"
"Impossible?" Liu Ronghua kicked Chang Jingqiu again. "Tell me yourself, did you do all this!"
Chang Jingqiu didn't want to say it, nor did she have the strength to say it. She lay on the ground weakly.
Liu Ronghua then pulled Chang Jingqiu's hair and lifted her up. Half of Chang Jingqiu's body was lifted off the ground.
Chang Jingqiu's face was so pathetic that it couldn't be looked at directly. It was so swollen that it couldn't be seen clearly. Her eyelids were so swollen that there was only a slit left in her eyes, and blood was still dripping from the corner of her eyes.
Her lips were so swollen that she couldn't close them, and there was blood all around her mouth. When she opened her mouth, there was still blood flowing out.
His appearance really made people lose their appetite just by looking at him.
"Are you going to tell me or not?" Liu Ronghua grabbed Chang Jingqiu's hair and shook it a few times, making Chang Jingqiu dizzy.
After such torture, Chang Jingqiu finally broke down. "Yes! I did it, it was all done by me! Why did Ruan Danchen have such a good life, being liked by boys since high school? She was a vixen to begin with, but she still pretended to be a virtuous white lotus. I couldn't stand her acting so pretentiously. She's a sl * t, pretending to be pure! She was lucky to marry Qi Chenglin, but she shouldn't have played me. She was clearly together with Qi Chenglin, but she didn't tell me, embarrassing me and making fun of me. "
As Chang Jingqiu spoke, the saliva she spat out was stained with blood.
Qi Chenglin scoffed at the side. "You were the one who looked down on her, thinking that she wasn't capable and that the man she found was also incapable. You never asked her about anything, and you already had a preconceived impression of her. You didn't ask her yourself, and now you're blaming her for not telling you? She's not even close to you, so why would she take the initiative to tell you all this? Even if she did, you would think that she was deliberately showing off in front of you. Anyway, you have a reason to hate her, so why are you looking for excuses? "
"Pui!" Chang Jingqiu's face was filled with madness. "She shouldn't have tried to steal my identity! She already has everything, so why did she have to steal it from me? Why is she nobler than me? Why is she a member of the Chang Family, while I am the daughter of those two peasants? Why is my background so unbearable? Why is she better than me! "
"You're the one who robbed her," Qi Chenglin said coldly. "Actually, she didn't want the Chang family to know her identity in the first place. She knew too well what kind of person Old Madam Chang was, so when the Chang family didn't know, she just pretended that nothing had happened. It was enough for her to know who her parents were. You treasure the identity of the Chang Family's young miss, but she has never cared about it. If it weren't for the fact that you weren't content and wanted to smear her reputation after taking her as your master, she would never have told anyone about this. "
Chang Jingqiu seemed to be stunned for a moment before saying frantically, "Don't say nice things, she's not that good! It's just an act! "
"Hehehehehe!" Chang Jingqiu smiled at Old Mistress Chang with a mouth full of blood, looking eerie and terrifying. "Why do you have to ruin my plans! It was you who insisted on exposing me. Otherwise, how could I have reached this step? Don't say that I'm using the old mistress, she's the one who's stupid! "
Old Mistress Chang did not expect Chang Jingqiu to say that, thinking that she had heard wrongly.
However, Chang Jingqiu was still spitting out her bloody saliva in a frenzy, saying, "She's the one who's stupid to not acknowledge her as her own granddaughter, I'm just helping her. If she wasn't stupid, what could I have used her for? All these years, I've been by her side, tolerating her temper, serving her, flattering her, and making her happy. There should be some repayment, right? Her helping me deal with Ruan Danchen is repayment! "
Chang Jingqiu had suffered quite a bit of shock from the beating, and she could no longer think through what she should and shouldn't say, just like a drunkard whose mind wasn't clear. She only felt that it was really satisfying to say all of this in a moment.
Old Mistress Chang had never expected that the person she had treated wholeheartedly would think of her as such, thinking that she was stupid, thinking that serving her was a form of compromise, and that she was just using her all along.
"You …" But looking at Chang Jingqiu's crazed face, she did not feel that she was wrong at all. Old Mistress Chang only felt that her blood flow was not flowing smoothly.
Her chest was blocked, and the pain was excruciating.
Old Mistress Chang opened her mouth, but she felt that she couldn't breathe, and her vision darkened.
"Mom!" Chang Zhixing exclaimed.
This time, the bodyguards did not stop him. Chang Zhixing immediately rushed to the bedside and pressed the bedside bell.
Qi Chenglin did not stay any longer, and left the ward, the two bodyguards following closely behind. Seeing that, Liu Ronghua came out as well.
Coincidentally, she saw the doctors and nurses rushing over and entering Old Mistress Chang's ward.
"Qi Chenglin." Liu Ronghua chased after him.
Qi Chenglin stopped and turned back to hear Liu Ronghua say, "You promised me that Chang Jingqiu would go to jail."
"Don't worry, she's the one who broke the law." Qi Chenglin said indifferently, and ignored her.
…
Ruan Danchen only found out about Old Mistress Chang a few days later.
Because it was Chang Zhiyuan's birthday, he did not want to make a big celebration, and indeed did not have the energy to do so. He just wanted to have a warm birthday celebration with his family.
So, he only invited Ruan Danchen's family of three to his house, and Mo Yuxin personally cooked for Chang Zhiyuan's birthday.
Just as everyone sat around the table and Chang Zhiyuan had just finished blowing out the candles, the doorbell rang.
The eldest sister-in-law came over and said, "Sir, Madam, it's Mr. Second."
Not long after, Chang Zhixing entered the house.
"Why are you here today?" Chang Zhiyuan asked, not getting up.
"Isn't it your birthday?" Chang Zhixing smiled awkwardly.
Seeing the two families sitting around the table, he felt a little out of place, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Chang Zhiyuan smiled, "If you really came to celebrate my birthday, you wouldn't be the only one."
Chang Zhixing smiled awkwardly, and heard Chang Zhiyuan say, "Come and sit."
He then sat down beside Chang Jingwan.
"What's the matter? Say it. You're already here, so don't be shy. "Chang Zhiyuan asked the eldest sister-in-law to pour another bowl and chopsticks for Chang Zhixing.
Chang Zhixing's face turned red, and he said, "Mom was agitated, and now she has a stroke and is paralyzed in bed. Chang Jingqiu is also involved in the human trafficking case. Although she hasn't been convicted yet, she will most likely go to jail."
Ruan Danchen was confused. It had only been a few days, how did such a big thing happen?
Chang Zhixing was about to explain, but he received a warning look from Chang Zhiyuan and Qi Chenglin, and he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Old Madam Chang was really depressed. She was lying on the bed, unable to move, and Chang Zhixing had hired people to take care of her. Chang Jingqiu was taken into custody, but she didn't care about Chang Jingqiu's life or death. She knew that Chang Jingqiu had used her and didn't repent at all. Old Madam Chang only hated the fact that she had raised an ingrate all these years, and wanted Chang Jingqiu to suffer retribution. Why would she care about whether Chang Jingqiu was doing well or not?
But Liu Xiangwen, who always tried to please her and make her happy, had never come to see her since she was hospitalized, as if she had never existed. Even her favorite grandson, Chang Jianan, had never come to see her.
Old Madam Chang was so angry that she cried and scolded all day, only hating herself for raising a group of ingrates.
"I know." Chang Zhiyuan nodded, "I will go see Mom."
Chang Zhixing looked at him hesitantly, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Big Brother, come back to Chang He, the company can't do without you. The company has suffered huge losses recently, and I know I'm not cut out for it. "
Even if someone had purposely set him up, it was also because he hadn't been careful.
When Chang Zhiyuan had been in charge of Chang He, he had set many traps for the company. But Chang Zhiyuan had never made such a mistake, so this was not an excuse for his failure.
Chang Zhiyuan shook his head. "I already said that I won't go back. You can have Chang He, and I don't care if it's good or bad."
Seeing that Chang Zhixing was about to say something else, he cut him off. "I'm not sulking. I mean it. I want to retire. I'm now semi-retired. I have my own company, and I only occasionally look after it. Most of the work is done by my children. I know Chang He's losses. It's not that Chang He can't afford it. Just be more careful in the future. Even if you can't restore Chang He to its former glory, you won't let the company decline. You can still maintain the status quo. You must remember not to be too rash. Just be happy with the results. Danchen's grandfather was the one who stood up for her this time, and I agree. As long as you don't hurt Danchen in the future, nothing like this will happen again. "
"This is a loss, but it's also a lesson. It'll be good for your management of the company," Chang Zhiyuan said.
The Chang family had suffered a great blow this time, and their status in the industry was not as high as before. However, Chang Zhiyuan didn't care. He was going to retire anyway, and he couldn't be bothered to socialize.
As for Chang Jingwan, Ruan Danchen would not let her suffer. No one would look down on Chang Jingwan because of Chang He's losses.
Thus, Chang Zhiyuan had nothing to worry about.
Even though Chang Zhiyuan's attitude was calm, Chang Zhixing knew that he was serious, so he didn't try to persuade him.
Chang Zhiyuan stayed behind to celebrate the birthday with him before leaving.
…
In the afternoon, Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen took the little girl home. On the way, they received a call from Guan Liya.
"Come to the hospital quickly. Chengyue is about to give birth."
