Jiang Ning's voice came again, "He once said that if he finds that woman, he will marry her, and I am sure that woman... is not you!"
Lin Wanwan turned around.
Jiang Ning's fragility just now has faded away, and she has returned to her usual graceful appearance. Her expression is calm, "Are you interested in hearing this story?"
Lin Wanwan hesitated for a moment, turned around, and sat back in her seat.
Jiang Ning spoke eloquently.
"This matter starts from fifteen years ago... No, it is already sixteen years after the New Year, so it starts from sixteen years ago. At that time, Ling Ye was only fifteen years old. Here, I want to talk about it a little bit
Let me remind you, when Ling Ye was a child... he was raised by his sister-in-law."
Lin Wanwan was surprised, "Liu Wanli?"
"Yes! That's her." Jiang Ning smiled bitterly, "Speaking of which, Liu Wanli... I introduced her to Xiao Jingnian."
Lin Wanwan was even more surprised.
"Actually, Liu Wanli is my best friend. Back then, the old man and I met first. As you know, there is an age difference of twenty years between me and the old man. Xiao Jingnian was only two years younger than me. When I fell in love with the old man, we were only ten years old.
Eight years old. Xiao Jingnian was only sixteen years old at that time. After I got together with the old man, Liu Wanli, as a good friend of mine, often came to my house as a guest, and the two of them became close to each other. "
"...At that time, I thought this was the best thing, because Xiao Jingnian didn't have much affection for my stepmother, and Liu Wanli was my good bestie. If the two of them were together, with her as lubricant, maybe I would be with this stepmother.
The relationship between the stepsons will improve. In fact, it was exactly as I expected at the time. Not only did the two of them fall in love, but they also got married. When they got married, I had already given birth to Ling Ye and A Yan was born.
Later, Liu Wanli also became pregnant."
Lin Wanwan didn't know why she was talking about these old things. After all... these things were considered the secrets of wealthy families.
But since she dares to speak, she also dares to listen.
She was still very curious about Xiao Lingye's childhood.
"At that time, our family got along very well. Later, not long after Ayan was born, the old man's company wanted to expand. I saw that he was working hard, so I took the initiative to go to the company to help him. At this time, Liu Wanli offered to help me take care of Ling Ye.
And Ayan. Of course I am very happy when she said this. Not only is she the sister-in-law of Ling Ye and Ayan, but she is also my best friend. Of course I feel relieved about her, so I leave the two children to her care."
Jiang Ning fell into memories, "She treated the two children as her own, and even treated Ling Ye and Ayan better than Xiao Yu and Xiao Yin. I saw it in my eyes and was very moved in my heart. So, I was very
Don't worry, I left the two children to take care of her. The company was too busy at that time, really too busy... The old man and I were on business trips almost twenty days a month. In this way, the company gradually grew, but
Ling Ye and A Yan became more and more indifferent towards us as a couple... and it stayed like this until Ling Ye was fifteen years old!"
Lin Wanwan's spirits perked up.
Here comes the point.
"Ling Ye is very smart. He has been smart since he was a child. He is not smart like a child. I told you that the old man and I tested his IQ. He is a genius!" Jiang Ning said in a very proud tone, "At that time,
We just thought that when he grows up, we would give him full power to manage the company."
"Then what?"
Jiang Ning became depressed, "I didn't expect that Liu Wanli's kindness to Ling Ye and Ayan was all fake. When Ling Ye was fifteen years old, he was kidnapped!"
Lin Wanwan's heart skipped a beat.
"Kidnapping?"
"Yes, kidnapping!" Remembering that time, Jiang Ning closed her eyes in pain, "When Ling Ye was kidnapped, the old man and I were still on a business trip. We received a call from Liu Wanli saying that Ling Ye was missing... We immediately
We rushed back from the field. The kidnappers contacted us quickly, but they asked for a ransom of 2 billion yuan. The kidnappers did not let us call the police and only gave us three days, otherwise... they would break up the vote!"
Lin Wanwan raised her heart with excitement.
Although she knew that Xiao Lingye was fine in the end, she still couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Then what?"
"Although the company's business was very good at that time, it was simply impossible to come up with two billion in cash! The old man and I were frightened and tortured every second. During this period, we continued to receive reports of Ling Ye being raped.
Photos of abuse and beatings... Do you know what it feels like for a mother to see her child's life in danger, but I can't do anything about it? At that time, I felt like I would die together with the kidnapper."
Lin Wanwan was silent.
No one understands this feeling better than her.
As he spoke, Jiang Ning's eye circles turned red, "In three days, we raised all the money we could and borrowed everything we could... But it wasn't enough. We only raised one billion in total.
It's still less than half the amount the kidnappers said! We really had no choice, so we negotiated with the kidnappers, and they agreed to give them one billion in funds, and they let Ling Ye go!"
Things shouldn't be that simple.
"Then what?"
"Then?" Jiang Ning suddenly clenched her fists and sneered, "Then, according to their request, we transferred the money to a foreign account provided by them. We were fully expecting the kidnappers to release Ling Ye, but...
What I received was the news that Ling Ye had been voted out!"
Lin Wanwan's face turned slightly pale.
"I didn't know how many times I cried and fainted in those days. I thought Ling Ye was really beaten. At that time, it was Liu Wanli who was by my side to comfort me every day. It was ridiculous. At that time, I was actually very grateful to her."
"and after?"
"Later... we immediately called the police after receiving the news that Ling Ye had been ticketed! After the police investigation, they found some doubts. Just when the investigation went deeper... Ling Ye came back safely!"
Lin Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief.
"He was indeed kidnapped. He escaped before being ripped off. At that time, communications were not so developed, and there were no smartphones...let alone smartphones. There were not even many mobile phones. He didn't know where he came from.
We borrowed a mobile phone and called the old man, and then we went to pick him up."
"...When he came back, he was covered in wounds, bloody, and almost no longer human! After he came back, he told us a shocking conspiracy... His kidnapping was all planned by Liu Wanli and Xiao Jingnian!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Ning gritted his teeth, his eyes turned red, and he looked like he would fight anyone at any time.
"I really didn't expect that my best friend and my son's sister-in-law would do such a thing for money!" Ling Ye was raised by her. She spends more time with Ling Ye than I, my biological mother.
More! How could she bear it! How could she be so cruel!"
Lin Wanwan figured it out.
This is why Liu Wanli and Xiao Jingnian were kicked out of the Xiao family, and why the old man severed ties with them!
"So, you have been talking for a long time, who is the woman Xiao Lingye is looking for?"
