In the car, Jiang Jingchen rolled a hard-boiled egg on Tang Beibei’s face to remove the swelling.

“Does it still hurt?” He asked softly.

Tang Beibei shook her head with a smile. However, she frowned when the hot egg was rolled on her face. She was obviously enduring the pain.

Jiang Jingchen’s heart ached, and he gently kissed her cheek.

“Beibei, I’ve told you before that you don’t have to pretend in front of me. Even if you are in pain, you don’t have to pretend you are alright.”

Tang Beibei’s eyelashes fluttered as she said with a smile, “I don’t feel sad, really.”

Jiang Jingchen was helpless. “Okay then. You don’t feel sad, just a little unhappy.”

He pulled her into his arms and wrapped his arms around her. It was a protective gesture.

He wanted to use his arms to protect her from everything in the outside world. “Will you be angry if 1 ask you to sever ties with your grandmother?”

Tang Beibei bit her lip and shook her head. After a few seconds of silence, she said, “You’re right. Although my surname is Tang, I know that I’m not a member of the Tang family.”

“When I was young, I was actually taken care of by a servant in the Rong family. Later on, when the servant returned to her hometown, 1 took care of myself.”

“My mother was the mistress, so I had to bear it all. I don’t hate anyone.”

Jiang Jingchen watched her hang her head lower as she spoke. He frowned and lifted her chin, his voice solemn as he said, “No, you shouldn’t be the one bearing it all. Beibei, now that you’ve married me, I’m your home.”

Tang Beibei was stunned. Tears welled up in her eyes as she stared at him without blinking.

“My home?”

“You have your own family now, and I’m a member of your family. What happened in the past wasn’t your fault. You shouldn’t have been the one to bear the consequences.”

Jiang Jingchen wiped away her tears, but the more he wiped, the more tears she shed. He lowered his head and kissed her eyes.

“I’ll always be by your side. You can share all your joys and sorrows with me.”

Tang Beibei was touched. She clung to his back, leaned against his shoulder and cried softly.

“I hate her. 1 hate my mother. Why didn’t she take me away when she gave birth to me? I’m not having a good time here.”

Jiang Jingchen patted her back to comfort her while he listened quietly.

He felt that part of his shoulder was wet from the woman’s tears. When he felt that she was getting tired from crying as she sobbed intermittently, he said, “Maybe there’s a secret behind your mother’s disappearance.”

“What kind of secret?”

Tang Beibei looked at him in confusion.

Tang Beibei had heard everything about her mother from her grandmother. Her grandmother said that her mother went astray and became someone’s mistress for money. She also gave birth to Tang Beibei for money.

In fact, Tang Beibei had never even seen a photo of her mother, so she did not know what her mother looked like.

“I asked Song Zhou to investigate what happened back then and we discovered something strange. Your mother might not have become a mistress willingly like the rumors say.”

“What was strange?” Tang Beibei was even more curious.

“Did you know that your mother is a mute?”

“Mute?” Tang Beibei was surprised. She didn’t know.

“How did you find out about this?”

“I learned about it from her former classmates. Your mother was indeed mute. She was very good at her studies, but for some reason, she suddenly dropped out of school. She later got pregnant and gave birth to you prematurely. After that, she disappeared.”

Tang Beibei wiped away her tears and sat up straight. “So, my mother got pregnant for another reason, not because she was greedy?”

“Yes, it’s possible. But we still need to continue investigating this matter. As for your grandmother, don’t listen to her nonsense. You’re mine. You’ll never get a divorce in this lifetime.”

As Tang Beibei’s attention was diverted, her mood improved a little.

“I won’t listen to her, and 1 will never divorce you. I’m still looking forward to your recovery, and… Having babies with you.”

Jiang Jingchen stared at the blushing woman.

As he recalled the other night when he stepped on the emergency brake at the last minute and did not touch her, he let out a breath of hot air.

However, he still couldn’t help but want to taste her. He pressed his lips against hers and kissed her fiercely.

The two of them waited for a while before Song Zhou returned with a gloomy expression.

“Is the old lady making a fuss again?” Jiang Jingchen asked.

Song Zhou gritted his teeth in frustration. “She insisted on seeing Young Madam. She even said that if she couldn’t see Young Madam, she would go to her school. I gave her 100,000 yuan before she stopped.”

“…” Tang Beibei frowned, thinking that she hadn’t heard correctly. “You have her 100,000 yuan?”

“… Young Madam, I told her that 1 would give her 100,000 yuan as travel expenses back to the nursing home before she was willing to leave.” Song Zhou said carefully.

“Oh, it’s okay. I should give it to her. Grandma is my family after all.”

Tang Beibei bit her lip in grievance because this family member had caused her a lot of sadness.

Song Zhou let out a breath and looked at Jiang Jingchen. Jiang Jingchen gave him a look to stop talking nonsense and quickly drive away.

When they arrived at a restaurant, Jiang Jingchen took Tang Beibei to eat something. After her swollen red eyes from crying returned to normal, he sent her back to school.

Before parting ways, Jiang Jingchen told Tang Beibei, “I’ll get someone to investigate your mother’s matter. Go to class. If there’s anything, contact me. I’ll think of a way to help you.”

Tang Beibei nodded obediently and reluctantly kissed him goodbye. She waited for his car to drive away before she walked into the school.

In the car, Jiang Jingchen asked Song Zhou, “The old lady suddenly left the nursing home. Who went to the nursing home to see her?”

“According to the people at the nursing home, Rong Chan’er went to the nursing home yesterday and spoke to the old lady. I’ve also sent people to investigate the old lady.”

“She has a son and a daughter. The daughter is mute, but she is very talented and beautiful. The son is a gambler; he committed a crime and is still in jail.” “However, 1 found something very strange. Her nursing home stay is paid for by the Rong family.”

Jiang Jingchen chuckled. This would explain why the old lady always defended the Rong family while belittling his wife.

However, he thought more about what Song Zhou said and concurred, “There’s no reason for the Rong family to pay for an unrelated old lady’s stay in a nursing home.”

Song Zhou also nodded. “Yes. Rong Yong is mean even to his own daughter. There’s no way he would spend money to support the old lady. 1 keep feeling that there’s something strange about this, but 1 haven’t found further clues.” “Then continue to investigate. The matter about my wife’s mother is weighing heavily on her heart. I don’t want her to keep carrying this weight.”

“Alright, I’ll send more people to investigate. There should be clues soon.” Song Zhou was very confident.

When Tang Beibei was back in school, Ruan Qi rushed over to look for her.

“Beibei, I have some bad news.”

Tang Beibei was puzzled. “What is it? Is it about my grandmother?”

“It has something to do with your grandmother!” Ruan Qi said through gritted teeth. “Watch this video.”

Ruan Qi played a video on her phone and showed it to Tang Beibei. Tang Beibei’s face turned pale as she watched the video and heard Old Madam Tang’s words.

Ruan Qi added, “This video has already gone viral. Someone must be jealous of you and is deliberately plotting against you.. Beibei, hurry up and ask your husband to think of a solution, or your reputation will be ruined!”
