I Want a Lifetime with You novel Chapter 448

Jiang Shizheng was left completely stunned. His eyes darkened as he watched Fu Chengyan.

“It seems like there are some things that can’t be hidden from you.” Jiang Shizheng smiled coldly, sadness welling up in his eye. “Sigh… It’s all our fault, my fault. Back then…” He shook his head as he continued, “That’s right. It’s exactly like what you’re thinking. Nuan isn’t a child of the Shi family but the child of my youngest daughter.”

“Your youngest daughter?” Fu Chengyan narrowed his eyes. “Why haven’t I heard you mention it?”

“What’s the point? She’s dead!”

“Dead?” Fu Chengyan obviously didn’t expect Jiang Shizheng to say that. There was still a fierce look in his eyes as he stared at the latter. “Grandpa, is she really dead?”

The older man froze and a hint of guilt flashed through his eyes as he looked at Fu Chengyan. He pursed his lips and was obviously anxious when he said, “She’s dead in my eyes!”

The fierce look in Fu Chengyan’s eyes faded away. “So you’re saying that May’s mother isn’t dead. Where is she, then?”

“Why are you asking these? Isn’t Nuan doing well now? What’s the point of these questions?” Jiang Shizheng sighed as he patted his knees. His eyes darkened while he said, “What can you possibly do even after knowing all these?”

“May cares about it!”

“Listen to me. She might not even have a better life after knowing the truth.”

“But she has the right to know. No matter how good or bad things are, May deserves the right to decide on this matter, doesn’t she?” Fu Chengyan didn’t look away, instead, he stared directly into Jiang Shizheng’s eyes. Naturally, he could see the pained look in the latter’s eyes.

“Don’t you think this is unfair to May?”

“Just stop mentioning this. As for Nuan, Shen Qianan, and Shen Shixiu, there are no relations between them. Well, even if there is, they have nothing to do with each other now. Both of them have the surname Shen, while Nuan’s surname is Shi. This is a fact that cannot be changed.”

Seeing that Jiang Shizheng was so insistent, Fu Chengyan knew that it wasn’t easy for him to get the truth out of the former. That was why he didn’t continue questioning.

When Aunt Fei returned, she couldn’t help but feel curious when she saw Fu Chengyan but couldn’t find Shi Nuan anywhere. However, she could guess what had happened when she saw Jiang Shizheng’s grim expression.

Jiang Shizheng was originally planning to ask Fu Chengyan to stay for dinner but when the latter thought about Shi Nuan and the people waiting at the Fu residence, he didn’t stay any longer.

However, after he left the courtyard of the Jiang residence, Aunt Fei called out as she rushed to him, “Sir!”

Fu Chengyan was about to get into the car but at the sight of Aunt Fei rushing to him, he quickly closed the car door and replied, “Yes, Aunt Fei!”

They had known each other for a long time. Aunt Fei had been working at the Jiang family since he was still studying.

He narrowed his eyes as his gaze landed on her. Fu Chengyan had heard from Shi Nuan that Aunt Fei had actually taken care of Jiang Yu. So technically, Shi Nuan should be calling her Grandma.

Anything?”

Aunt Fei nodded but she only talked after taking a look behind her, “Sir, can we talk elsewhere?”

He nodded and said, “Sure.”

“Okay. Let’s go out front. It’s much quiet there and there aren’t many people.”

Upon hearing that, a quizzical look appeared in his eyes as he watched Aunt Fei’s outstretched arm.

Both of them reached an empty spot near the Jiang family’s courtyard. After looking around, Aunt Fei sighed, “I was sure that you already knew some things when I noticed that you came alone today. You’re such a smart man after all.”

Fu Chengyan raised his brows and a smile appeared on his face. “What do you mean when you said I know some things?”

“Don’t you want to know about the true identity of Little Miss?”

The man’s eyes turned cold but they shone as he asked, “You knew, Aunt Fei?”

She nodded. “I’ve been with the Jiang family for so many years. This has always been the Jiang family’s secret, and weighs heavy on Old Master Jiang’s heart.”

“Oh?”

“He lost his wife during his middle age, with two daughters under his care. The older daughter is Jiang Yu, and the younger one is Jiang Yuan. He had adopted the older daughter back then, based on an old custom in order for Jiang Yuan would be raised more easily. That’s why he adopted another daughter.”

He really had no idea.

In fact, Fu Chengyan didn’t know that Jiang Shizheng had two daughters. He always thought that the latter only had one daughter, Jiang Yu. Who knew that he actually had another named Jiang Yuan.

“What happened after that?”

“The second daughter, Ms. Jiang Yuan grew up to be a beautiful woman. Many men from other families liked her and had suitors everywhere,” Aunt Fei explained. She grinned as she said, “She looked just like her mother, so beautiful! But… Ms. Jiang Yuan had never gotten married in her life before.”

“Then how did May end up with the Shi family?” Since Shi Nuan’s biological mother is Jiang Yuan, then Jiang Shizheng is her biological grandfather. Why did he let May go to the Shi family?
