Big Miss and White Moonlight, Stop Fighting! - Chapter 32
Chapter 32: I Can Let You See Her
After much thought, Jiang Qingyue believed that in order to protect Wen Wuxin, it would be better to get engaged to her first and legitimize their relationship in the public eye. This way, she could protect her more openly later.
However, Jiang Qingyue’s careful planning didn’t account for Wen Wuxin’s rejection.
She had thought this was what the other woman wanted.
Jiang Qingyue didn’t dare to look at Wen Wuxin anymore, but Wen Wuxin took the initiative to walk forward and touched her face.
“Qingyue, don’t cry.”
Wen Wuxin’s voice was as gentle as water. “We had never met before, so I knew when you first said you wanted me to be your lover that you had no feelings for me. And when I chose to get close to you, I was prepared to be used by you.”
Because I also want to use you.
Wen Wuxin used her thumb to wipe away another tear that rolled down from the corner of Jiang Qingyue’s eye. “But I don’t regret it. In fact, I feel very lucky. Because,”
She smiled with her eyes crinkling. “I actually managed to exchange my sincerity for your sincerity.”
The words she said were completely different from what she was thinking, but Wen Wuxin spoke them flawlessly.
Letting her be Jiang Qingyue’s lover was the most she could do.
If she had to marry Jiang Qingyue, Wen Wuxin wouldn’t be surprised if she threw up on the spot.
The thought of Jiang Qingyue living a smooth and prosperous life as the Jiang family’s eldest daughter for more than twenty years, while Jiang Qingyue grew up in an ordinary family and even experienced a car accident at the age of eighteen, filled Wen Wuxin with a hatred that was about to burst out of her chest.
And while it was said that her fate was unknown, when Wen Wuxin woke up, she was told that they were dead. All she was left with were five urns.
But Wen Wuxin had always insisted that those five people weren’t really dead. After all, if they were alive, she wanted to see them, and if they were dead, she wanted to see their bodies. She hadn’t seen their bodies.
After insisting on this for so many years, maybe she was just stubbornly trying to find a truth that wasn’t that important.
But at the end of the day, Wen Wuxin hated herself the most. If she hadn’t been the one to suggest a spring outing for the two families, how could something like that have happened?
And Jiang Qingyue, looking at the silver ring on Wen Wuxin’s left hand, stopped crying.
“I’ll let you see my resolve.”
The resolve to protect you.
The two of them silently took a plane away from the island. Jiang Qingyue didn’t return to the Jiang family’s main residence. Wen Wuxin didn’t ask where Jiang Qingyue was going. She returned to the Jiang family’s house alone.
But as soon as she arrived in the living room, before she could even go to her art studio, she was stopped by Butler Li.
“Miss Wen, President Jiang wants to see you in her study.”
Wen Wuxin’s right eyelid twitched. This was the first time Jiang Asheng had asked to see her alone.
Did Jiang Asheng know about Jiang Qingyue giving her the ring and was planning to tell her to leave?
Wen Wuxin followed behind Butler Li, discreetly taking off her ring.
After seeing Wen Wuxin enter the study, Butler Li immediately pulled out her phone.
She had been studying “butler literature” recently, and in the latest releases, to ensure the young miss’s love life goes smoothly, butlers can no longer just serve as NPCs who deliver lines. They also need to provide timely updates.
She, Butler Li, was determined to protect Miss Jiang and Miss Wen’s love!
When Wen Wuxin entered Jiang Asheng’s study, Jiang Asheng had just finished a phone call.
“Yes, it’s time for you to come back.”
Jiang Asheng hung up the phone and looked at the reserved Wen Wuxin. “Sit.”
On the other side of the desk, there was already a mahogany chair set up.
Wen Wuxin sat down, her hands on her thighs, and lowered her head without saying a word.
Jiang Asheng, on the other hand, smiled. “What’s wrong, Wuxin? Did Qingyue make you angry?”
Wen Wuxin just bit her lip and shook her head. She said softly, “No, Qingyue is very good to me.”
Jiang Asheng looked her over, finally focusing on Wen Wuxin’s hands. “Qingyue hasn’t given you the ring yet?”
Wen Wuxin’s hands clenched the white dress, causing the smooth fabric to wrinkle. “I’m sorry. But please rest assured, I won’t wish for things that don’t belong to me. Miss Jiang will have a better person to marry.”
Jiang Asheng laughed. “So you thought I was here to be the villain who breaks up a couple?”
“No, it’s not…” Wen Wuxin’s denial was weak and pale.
Jiang Asheng smiled and shook her head. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes became more apparent. “I knew it. With Qingyue’s impatient personality, after she sneakily made a silver ring a few days ago, she would definitely propose to you.”
Wen Wuxin pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.
Jiang Asheng was also silent for a few seconds. She suddenly felt lucky that she hadn’t made the forceful decision to stop Jiang Qingyue from getting engaged to Wen Wuxin.
Both Jiang Qingyue and Jiang Qingyue were headaches for her, but fortunately, the person who could handle them was right in front of her.
In the end, Wen Wuxin spoke first. “President Jiang, I promise I will not marry Miss Jiang. If you still have concerns, I will move out immediately.”
If she angered Jiang Asheng, she would probably never find the truth in her lifetime.
Wen Wuxin had to make a compromise to move forward.
Jiang Asheng looked at the helpless Wen Wuxin and sighed.
“Now you’re really scared.”
Wen Wuxin immediately felt like she was facing a formidable enemy at this sentence. What did Jiang Asheng mean by this? How should she answer without revealing anything?
But Jiang Asheng didn’t give her time to think. “As for getting married in the end, that’s indeed a bit far off. But Qingyue is preparing to get engaged to you first. Wuxin, you can think about it carefully. After all, you’ve come this far, haven’t you?”
Wen Wuxin was hesitant. “I…”
“Let’s make a trade,” Jiang Asheng said lightly.
What kind of trade? Five million for me to leave? No, the Jiang family wouldn’t be that stingy. It should be at least fifty million to start…
Wen Wuxin’s thoughts couldn’t help but wander, but then she heard the other woman say softly, “You agree to get engaged to Qingyue and hold an engagement party. I’ll let you see her.”
Wen Wuxin’s head shot up. Her eyes were filled with disbelief.
Jiang Asheng’s index finger tapped the desk rhythmically. “What, you don’t want to see her?”
Wen Wuxin tried to suppress her emotions and forced a smile. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Jiang Asheng didn’t argue. She opened a drawer, took out two photos, and pushed them towards Wen Wuxin, who was sitting across from her.
“If you don’t remember, looking at the photos should help you remember.”
One photo was of two girls in school uniforms. The photographer seemed to be a bit far away from the two girls, but even though they didn’t take up much of the photo, their smiles were clear and contagious enough.
It was Jiang Qingyue and Wen Wuxin in high school.
The other photo was of a woman wearing a long camel-colored trench coat. The woman had her arms crossed. Although her looks were as beautiful as a celestial being, her eyes were as cold as a snow-capped mountain that never melted, so icy that people didn’t dare to look at them for too long.
And it was hard to ignore the scar on the back of the woman’s left hand. The scar was vicious, and even though it had healed for a long time, you could still tell how terrible the situation had been back then.
Before Wen Wuxin could even reach out to touch the two photos, her vision became blurry.
She couldn’t even bring herself to question Jiang Asheng about what was going on. She could only stare at the woman’s face in the photo in a near-pathological way.
“Just as I imagined… just the same…”
Wen Wuxin murmured. A warm tear fell onto the face of the woman in the photo. Wen Wuxin hurriedly wiped it away. “I’m sorry.”
Jiang Asheng didn’t seem surprised by this scene at all. “She’s doing well now, don’t worry. And your family and her family from back then are all still alive and well. For certain reasons, you can’t meet them yet.”
Wen Wuxin just stared blankly at Jiang Qingyue’s photo, not saying anything.
“If you agree to get engaged to Jiang Qingyue, I’ll let Jiang Qingyue meet you. How does that sound?”
“What if I don’t agree?” Wen Wuxin asked hoarsely.
Wen Wuxin suddenly remembered the dream she had two years ago. In the dream, Jiang Qingyue told her to be a good girl. If she was a good girl, she would still be her sister.
But if she got engaged to Jiang Qingyue, that would definitely not be good. Sister Qingyue would be angry if she found out.
“This is the only way for you to see her,” Jiang Asheng said, not answering her question directly.
Sighing, Jiang Asheng said softly, “I’m very sorry about what happened to you and your family. It was indeed our Jiang family who got you involved. But don’t worry, after everything is handled, whether or not you want to marry Qingyue is up to you. I’ll support you. I’ve wronged you all these years, and I’ll do my best to compensate you.”
Wen Wuxin caressed the photo and didn’t say anything.
But Jiang Asheng was very patient and didn’t rush her.
After a long time, Wen Wuxin finally spoke. “Was the car accident intentional, and were you the one who orchestrated it?”
Jiang Asheng frowned and shook her head. “It was intentional, but I didn’t orchestrate it. How could I harm my own daughter?”
“But the mastermind is related to you, right?” Wen Wuxin’s tone was calm.
Jiang Asheng pursed her lips and nodded.
Wen Wuxin looked at the woman in the photo. Her tone became even calmer. “To be honest, over the years, from initially wanting to die with them, to being consumed by hatred, to now—”
“I just want to ask for an explanation for Jiang Qingyue.”
“Let’s not talk about what happened between her and me. It’s not that important,” Wen Wuxin said with a self-deprecating smile. “But she’s also your biological daughter, just like Jiang Qingyue. Why did you treat them differently?”
“In the fire more than twenty years ago, you chose to leave Jiang Qingyue. Jiang Qingyue grew up in an ordinary family, which is a world of difference from Jiang Qingyue’s upbringing. You never even tried to be a little kinder to her.”
“And as for the car accident later, in the end, it was my fault for suggesting the spring outing for the two families. But since you knew about the Jiang family’s situation, you should have secretly sent people to protect her, not…”
“Why was she the one you abandoned?”
A new layer of tears welled up in Wen Wuxin’s eyes. She choked out, “I would rather have never met her. I wish she could have grown up as the Jiang family’s eldest daughter, living a life of luxury and ease.”
Instead of her pushing me out of the car at the end and staying in the car herself.
