Ni Cuihua found it strange again; when she first saw Dr. Jiang, she felt a sense of familiarity, and now seeing Jiu Wentang, she felt even more familiar with him. What was the connection between these two people?
Moreover, the feeling of familiarity that Jiu Wentang evoked in her seemed even stronger!
It was as if something in her mind was on the brink of bursting forth!
Very strange.
Why would that be?
"Mom, does Dr. Jiang have any other siblings?" Ni Cuihua turned and asked.
Madam Zheng said, "I think there’s an older brother, I haven’t heard about a younger sister..."
"Could it be..."
Although Ni Cuihua didn’t finish her sentence, Madam Zheng already understood her meaning, "You mean to say, could she be Dr. Jiang’s daughter?"
Ni Cuihua nodded.
Madam Zheng frowned slightly, "Jiang Yan is a very scheming person; it’s hard to say for sure with her. It seems I’ll need to have someone look into this."
It was odd, but ever since she met Jiu Wentang, Madam Zheng felt unsettled.
Having returned to Liu Qinian’s side, Jiu Wentang was breaking out in sweat again and again.
The Zheng Family held significant power in Beijing, and since they had come from Taiwan Island, they were currently unable to challenge the Zheng Family!
If Madam Zheng discovered that matter, everything would be over!
Had he known this would happen, he should have let Liu Ru make the phone call.
Such an unnecessary trouble brought upon himself!
Truly bad luck!
"Mom, are you very hot? Why are you sweating so much?" Liu Ru approached Jiu Wentang and asked curiously.
Although it was summer, the bamboo groves on either side of the road brought cool breezes, making it not feel hot at all, but Jiu Wentang kept perspiring.
Jiu Wentang wiped off her sweat, "Mom just walked over from there, how could I not be hot?"
"Let me fan you then," Liu Ru said, and began to fan Jiu Wentang with her hand.
Soon enough, the repairperson arrived.
When Ni Yang returned home, she happened to see Jiu Wentang and the others fixing their car; she pretended not to see them and rode away on her bicycle.
Back home, Madam Zheng mentioned seeing someone who looked very much like Dr. Jiang.
Ni Yang said, "Grandma, are you talking about Jiu Wentang?"
Madam Zheng was startled, "Same surname as Jiang?" Could it be that Jiu Wentang really had some connection to Dr. Jiang?
Ni Yang clarified, "It’s the ’Jiang’ character with the three water radicals."
"Oh," Madam Zheng nodded, "I see."
"Grandma." Ni Yang suddenly became more serious.
"Go on, Yangyang," said Madam Zheng.
Ni Yang continued, "I think she might be Dr. Jiang’s sister, Jiang Zhi."
Although the information they found claimed that Jiang Zhi was dead, Ni Yang always felt that there was more to the story.
"Does Jiang Yan have a sister?" Madam Zheng found it strange, as she had never heard Dr. Jiang mention having a sister.
Ni Yang recounted the matter of Jiang Zhi to Madam Zheng and also mentioned the relationship between Zhao Shuyue and Jiu Wentang.
Upon hearing this, both Madam Zheng and Ni Cuihua were surprised.
"So, she’s the woman that faithless man remarried?" said Ni Cuihua.
Ni Yang nodded, "Yes."
Ni Cuihua continued, "No wonder I felt something was off about her; I wish I had never lent her my phone!" Ni Cuihua was filled with regret!
At the Liu Family Mansion.
Liu Qinian was furious.
