Chapter 153: Chapter 150: Don’t Move, Are You Trying to Bump Into Me Again 2
Back at home, Fang Jingyi was very emotional and kept crying sadly.
Tang Ruan didn’t say anything, just appropriately handed her tissues.
After crying for a while, Fang Jingyi looked at Tang Ruan with red eyes, "Ruan Ruan, do you also think I’m a bad person?"
Otherwise, why hasn’t she said a word to comfort her from the beginning until now?
Tang Ruan lowered her head, pulled out another tissue, and personally went to wipe Fang Jingyi’s tears, only to have it brushed away by Fang Jingyi.
Tang Ruan’s eyes flickered quickly, her hand paused in mid-air for a few seconds before slowly lowering, looking at Fang Jingyi’s grief-stricken face, and sighed softly, "Mom, I don’t think that way. I know you’re doing it all for Mo Chen’s good. It’s just..."
"It’s just that some people don’t appreciate it at all, even saying that I’ve never treated him like a son? He and Si Nan, weren’t they both painstakingly carried and birthed by me for ten months? How much effort did I put into raising and nurturing him? Otherwise, would he be as outstanding as he is today, able to secure the position of president of the Rong Family?" Fang Jingyi said all this without tears, her tone filled with resentment.
Tang Ruan raised her eyebrows slightly, Mo Chen being able to secure the position of president of the Rong Family has nothing to do with the person before her, as for raising him, well, it was just giving birth to him.
"Mom, I understand how you feel. But going to the hospital to see Miss Jin’s grandfather was indeed a bit..." Tang Ruan trailed off, her tone timid and unfinished.
"A bit what? I didn’t do anything to him, just truthfully told him about the good deeds his dear granddaughter had done while he was in a coma for a year, that’s all. If anyone’s to blame for his cerebral infarction, it’s that sweet granddaughter of his!" Fang Jingyi’s expression was matter-of-fact, pushing all the responsibility onto Jin Jumo, without a trace of guilt or anxiety.
Tang Ruan looked at Fang Jingyi’s cold face, inwardly laughing coldly, yet outwardly confused, "Mom, what good deed did Miss Jin do?"
"Good deed?" Fang Jingyi seemed to have heard the biggest joke, "What kind of good deed can a woman like her do?"
"..." Tang Ruan looked at her confusedly.
Fang Jingyi looked at Tang Ruan a bit more, "I originally didn’t want to tell you about this, to avoid disgusting you, but now, there’s nothing to hide. I have a recording and a video here."
She paused, "You don’t need to watch the video, it’s unbearable. Listen to the recording first."
Fang Jingyi said, taking a small USB drive from her bag and handing it to Tang Ruan.
Tang Ruan squinted slightly, taking it, "What recording?"
"You’ll know once you listen." Fang Jingyi said.
Tang Ruan found a computer, plugged in the USB drive, and under Fang Jingyi’s guidance, played the recording.
"So Mrs. Rong wants to know about Momo. Well, I know her, I’m quite familiar with her."
The voice of Zhao Xingwei rang clearly from the recording...
Tang Ruan lowered her eyelashes, only showing Fang Jingyi her profile, completely concealing the emotions in her eyes.
After listening to the recording, Tang Ruan looked up at Fang Jingyi in shock, "Mom, is this, is this real? Miss Jin doesn’t seem like the scheming type of woman."
"Doesn’t seem like it? Just means she’s good at acting, good at hiding it." Fang Jingyi said noncommittally.
Tang Ruan shook her head, "Mom, could there be some misunderstanding?"
"Hmph, it would be better if it’s truly a misunderstanding. Although I am displeased with her family background and certain behaviors, at least she was decent while with Mo Chen. I wouldn’t allow her to marry into the Rong Family, but I would give her some compensation. But now, this woman not only is filthy herself but also ensnared Mo Chen. Just the thought of Mo Chen having a child with her makes me feel sick, disgusted!"
Fang Jingyi gritted her teeth, her face and eyes full of deep disdain.
"..." Tang Ruan barely perceptibly furrowed her brow, "Mom, if what’s said in the recording is true, I believe Mo Chen didn’t know before, please don’t blame him, he was deceived. Alas, Miss Jin appeared pure and innocent, who would have thought she was so scheming? I really didn’t see her as such. Even Si Nan said that Miss Jin was nice and often told me that after she marries Mo Chen, she’d definitely take good care of him."
Upon mentioning Rong Sinan, Fang Jingyi’s eyes softened, she sighed softly, "Sinan has been gentle and understanding since childhood, always thinking well of people. He is also considerate of his brother’s happiness, and after you chose to marry Sinan, Mo Chen hasn’t found anyone, so Sinan feels guilty. So when Jin Jumo appeared to take care of Mo Chen, how could he not be happy for him?"
Tang Ruan gave a cold tug at the corner of her lips, couldn’t help but say, "Mom, you weren’t angry when Sinan talked to you like that just now, were you?"
Fang Jingyi’s face darkened, she sighed mournfully, "No, why would I be angry? Sinan is kind, easily misled by appearances. He was disappointed in me because he thought Jin Jumo’s grandfather had a stroke because of me and said those things to me out of anger."
Fang Jingyi’s gaze softened as she looked at Tang Ruan as well, "Besides, didn’t Sinan let you come out to accompany me?"
Tang Ruan looked at Fang Jingyi, sometimes she also felt sorry for Rong Mochen.
Born from the same mother, how could there be such a stark difference?
"Mom, now that you know what Miss Jin has done, what do you plan to do next?" Tang Ruan asked.
"I wasn’t planning to show these things to the old man, but now it seems it’s unavoidable. The old man was so mad at me because Jin Jumo’s grandfather passed out, he even hit me with a cane..."
Fang Jingyi’s voice choked, feeling wronged and upset.
She didn’t feel she had done anything wrong. Jin Jiancheng’s granddaughter had done such shameful things, shouldn’t he, as Jin Jumo’s grandfather, discipline her?
Moreover, the reason she did it was all for Mo Chen!
Tang Ruan hurriedly handed her a tissue.
Fang Jingyi took the tissue to wipe her tears and sighed, "The old man doesn’t know the truth, so I don’t blame him. After he listens to the recording here, I think he will understand me."
"That’s true. If what’s in the recording is real, someone like that woman, even Grandpa wouldn’t allow her to marry in. Especially with Miss Jin’s chaotic private life, whether the child in her belly is Mo Chen’s..."
Tang Ruan spoke quickly and her tone was calm, as if everything she said just slipped out unintentionally, not deliberately.
When she spoke to the end, she seemed to suddenly realize what she had said, and hurriedly pressed her lips together, stopping herself from saying more.
Fang Jingyi, however, listened carefully to her words, furrowing her brows, her eyes slightly squinted, as if calculating something.
Tang Ruan pretended not to notice, slowly pulling out the USB and handed it to Fang Jingyi, "Mom, for you."
Fang Jingyi, deep in thought, obediently and silently took it.
That day, Fang Jingyi delivered the recording and video to Rong Zhengfeng.
Initially, Rong Zhengfeng didn’t want to see her or listen to her so-called recording, but Fang Jingyi was resolute, saying that once he listened, he would understand why she went to the hospital to find Jin Jiancheng.
In the end, Rong Zhengfeng listened to the recording, but he didn’t believe its contents.
Fang Jingyi had no choice but to play the video for him.
However, Rong Zhengfeng only watched for less than a minute before he angrily smashed the computer, nearly fainting.
At night, Jin Jumo’s sleep was restless. She was in a half-dreaming, half-awake state, with memories of being taken back to the Jin Family by Jin Jiancheng and their time together flashing hazily through her mind.
All the happiness, joy, and contentment in her life before the age of twenty were given to her by Jin Jiancheng.
He brought warmth to her without reservation, taught her to be a strong and cheerful girl, and never truly blamed her, even though it was because of her that her adoptive parents...
He always loved her, protected her, and did everything possible to treat her well.
No one in her life could compare to the kindness Jin Jiancheng showed her; she could never find anyone better than him in this world.
Tears wet the pillow in her dreams. Jin Jumo slowly opened her eyes, her clear eyes glistening with tears.
Taking several deep breaths, Jin Jumo reached up to cover her eyes, sat up from the bed, and stared fixedly at the clock on the opposite wall.
It was 3:25 in the morning.
She just continued staring at that clock, just kept staring at it.
When the clock ticked to 3:30, Jin Jumo suddenly started crying uncontrollably, her frail body trembling violently. She covered her mouth tightly with her hand, overwhelmed by an unexpected sadness, trying to suppress the urge to wail.
But why did she suddenly feel so miserable, so miserable, as if she had lost something most precious and cherished?
"Ah..." A mournful cry suddenly burst from her chest, and then it was unstoppable.
Jin Jumo covered her mouth with one hand, clutching at her heart with the other, her pale face covered in tears.
"Ah..."
"Little Mo." The door was kicked open from outside, and a dark figure swiftly moved forward, holding her violently trembling body tightly in his arms.
Rong Mochen placed a large hand on Jin Jumo’s nape, gently kissing her brow with his thin lips, his voice tense, "Little Mo, Little Mo, be good, don’t cry, hmm?"
"Did you have a nightmare? It’s just a dream, dreams aren’t real..."
"It’s real, everything is real..." Jin Jumo shook her head, her hoarse voice mixed with thick nasal tones.
Rong Mochen was stunned, staring at her.
Jin Jumo opened her mouth, trying to say something, but the sudden ringing of the phone interrupted her.
Fear and rejection appeared in Jin Jumo’s eyes suddenly, and she turned sharply, staring at the phone on the bedside table with wide eyes, tears still streaming down.
Rong Mochen felt the body in his arms instantly go rigid, even trembling slightly. Frowning tight, he glanced at the phone and leaned over to pick it up.
Picking up the phone, both Jin Jumo and Rong Mochen saw the caller ID, it was... from the hospital.
Jin Jumo’s face turned a shade paler, her gums trembling lightly, her eyes becoming bloodshot as she looked up at Rong Mochen.
