Chapter 201 The wisest choice
At that moment, Jiang Yuannian seemed to see his mother when he was a child. That gentle, virtuous, beautiful and charming woman seemed to reappear in the world at this moment.
His eyes became moist and tears welled up in his eyes, and his throat became dry. It seemed that he had a thousand words to say, but he didn't know where to start.
"Mom..." he called softly, his voice choked with sobs, full of longing and sorrow, as if he was calling for a long-lost shadow.
Qu Zhongyi was so shocked by this scene that he was speechless. He stared blankly at the scene in front of him, unable to believe his eyes.
He had never expected that there could be two people who looked so similar. It seemed incredible to him, as if he had witnessed some supernatural phenomenon.
Although Jiang Jinhe was only a teenager when his mother passed away, he still remembered that face clearly - that unforgettable and beautiful impression was deeply engraved in his heart.
Apart from being a little younger, with fairer skin and that pure and innocent look, they are almost exactly the same, as if time has gone back to those bygone years.
"It's so similar..." He said to Jiang Yuannian with difficulty, his voice trembling, "It's simply a replica."
He felt a surge of disbelief in his heart, shocked and unbelievable.
Jiang Yuannian sighed, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his complicated emotions.
At this moment, he had no time to be happy about finding his sister, as his heart was already filled with the troubles he was about to face.
He realized that behind this surprise lay countless unknown challenges and risks, which made him feel heavy and worried.
"...Yes, they are very similar."
He whispered, his tone filled with helplessness and heaviness.
Jiang Jinhe immediately noticed the strange behavior of the two people. She looked at Jiang Yuannian and Qu Zhongyi in confusion, wondering why they had such an abnormal reaction.
When she revealed her true face, it not only did not cause a trace of joy, but instead plunged the two into deep fear.
It was a sudden, indescribable panic, like a shadow suddenly rising from the abyss.
Thinking of some rumors he had heard before, Jiang Jinhe immediately understood the reason behind it.
It turned out that her face was an unsolvable problem for Jiang Fengzhi. He was worried that it would cause unnecessary disputes and dangers, so he decided to let her leave and stay away from trouble.
It is estimated that the reason why Jiang Jinhe made herself so fat was just to better hide her true identity.
This camouflage is obviously intended to protect oneself from harm in a complex environment.
Life is really hard. Jiang Jinhe couldn't help but sigh in his heart, muttering softly, with a hint of bitterness and helplessness in his eyes.
At this moment, Qu Zhongyi suddenly looked up at the Jiang family, his eyes filled with confusion. "Aunt Qiao, what on earth did you do to her? In just a few months, her body shape has changed so much?"
There was obvious concern and confusion in his tone.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Qiao, who was standing next to her, immediately burst into tears, as if all the emotions that had been pent up for a long time collapsed in an instant.
"These are the results of the hardships encountered on the road."
She choked and said, her voice full of sadness.
Jiang Jinhe then recounted the various hardships he had endured along the way—he couldn't find food or get enough water, and he even nearly died in a tiger's mouth.
Listening to these heartbreaking stories, even Jiang Yuannian, a middle-aged man, was moved to tears.
"My poor sister, you have suffered so much! Don't be afraid anymore. I am here with you. I will take good care of you."
As he said these words, he tried to reach out and hug his loved ones, hoping to give them some spiritual comfort.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Jinhe dodged quickly with a look of vigilance on his face.
She turned around and looked firmly at the man in front of her who claimed to be her brother.
"I don't feel that it's that hard, and I don't need you to help me turn back into that fat person."
His tone was calm but contained unquestionable determination.
Jiang Yuannian's arm just stayed stiffly in the air, unable to retract or move closer.
At that moment, he finally realized that although the person standing in front of him was related by blood, they had actually become complete strangers to each other.
"Sister, maybe you feel sad or even resentful because your father sent you out of the house, but you must understand that it was a difficult decision that had to be made out of consideration for your safety."
Qu Zhongyi added softly, hoping to ease the tense and divisive situation a little.
"That's right. Your father loves you very much. When he entrusted you to me, a grown man almost shed tears."
After hearing this, Jiang Jinhe felt a warm feeling in her heart, as if she had returned to that home full of warmth.
But she continued to wave her hands, with a hint of determination in her eyes.
"No, I don't blame you at all. Really, what you're doing is actually a good thing for me. I'm living a good life now and I'm very satisfied with my life. So you'd better leave! Just pretend we've never met."
Jiang Yuannian and Qu Zhongyi looked at each other, both of them had complicated expressions. They never expected that Jiang Jinhe didn't want to recognize her biological parents. This made them feel very surprised and disappointed.
But this is no longer just a question of whether to deny kinship.
Then, the two sat down and began to patiently explain to Jiang Jinhe the reason for their visit to Yuefeng County, and described in detail how they discovered her.
When Jiang Jinhe heard that Mr. Zhang had gone to Yindu after losing the lawsuit, and presented another one million taels of silver to King Chen, and then severely sued her, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.
She knew that she was in big trouble this time.
She quickly analyzed the situation in her mind and soon came up with what she believed to be the wisest choice.
"Mother, why don't I just leave? As long as I'm gone, King Chen will naturally stop dealing with you!"
"Oh, that's an idea!"
Qu Zhongyi, who had been silent on the side, suddenly said in surprise, and he clapped his hands lightly to show his agreement.
"We can marry her off to a good family like we did last time, as long as she can hide her true identity..."
"no!"
A loud roar interrupted Qu Zhongyi's words.
Qiao Musheng rushed into the room and kicked Qu Zhongyi out without any hesitation.
"Jinhe is my wife, you are not allowed to go anywhere."
The tone was firm and left no room for doubt.
Qu Zhongyi touched his waist and slowly got up from the ground. Although the pain made it difficult for him to stand, he still managed to raise his trembling fingers and pointed to Qiao Musheng.
