Chapter 181: Chapter 181: The Truth Comes to Light

Wen Jiao’s calm words fell, and Wei Shuqian looked at her, slowly shaking his head, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"You’re talking nonsense! I never received any..." His voice seemed to get stuck as a sudden rush of memories flooded his mind.

On her deathbed, the woman had stuffed a bank card into his hands.

In the hospital room reeking of disinfectant, the woman on the brink of death looked at him, her face full of unwillingness to let go.

Weakly she said, "Xiao Shu, take good care of this card, it has the money Mom prepared for you. Use it to live well, do you understand?"

But at the moment of the woman’s death, those people burst into the room, seven or eight robust adult men held him down and took the bank card from his hand.

They were all villagers from the woman’s hometown, like vultures, feasting on carrion, feeding on human blood.

Wei Shuqian had never imagined that the bank card taken from him contained an astronomical sum.

He stood rooted to the spot, as if suddenly voiceless, suddenly losing the courage to speak.

To Wen Jiao who observed this scene, it was merely him not wanting to confront the past.

Wen Jiao smiled bitterly and wrenched her wrist free from Wei Shuqian’s tight grip.

"Don’t you know? Then do you know how your mother threatened me with her life, demanding that I give up the fifty million?"

In the same hospital room, Wen Jiao stood before the woman, watching her remove the IV, and without any warning, kneeled before her.

The woman said, "Miss Wen, I am about to die, please be kind, give Xiao Shu some money? He needs to go abroad for better education, he can’t go back to that village, those people will not let him be."

By that time, Wen Jiao had already been asked by the woman to give away over fifty million.

She frowned at her, squatted down, and tried to keep as calm as possible, "Auntie, I do have money, but you can’t treat me like a fool. I can take Wei Shuqian to many places, I can also help him climb up using my resources, but all of this, should be willingly given, not because of your threats, do you understand what I’m saying?"

"I understand, I know you truly love him, but Miss Wen, there is no future between you two, your family will never allow you to marry a man who has nothing! Xiao Shu is doomed to not be worthy of you in this lifetime, please just consider it as me begging, break up with him."

Her voice was already very weak, but Wen Jiao still found each word particularly harsh to hear.

This woman had suffered all her life, and even Wei Shuqian did not know her name, living her life as a marginalized person.

And now, with the last of her dignity, she pleaded desperately with Wen Jiao.

"Miss Wen, let Xiao Shu go! The matter of you two dating, once discovered by your family, they won’t let Xiao Shu off easily, you are still a child yourself, what can you use to protect Xiao Shu? Please, I implore you, give Xiao Shu a way to live!"

Wen Jiao couldn’t believe it, she never thought that the woman would suddenly say such things to her.

"Auntie... Xiao Shu and I are doing well. I have been planning to find a way to get my father’s blessing, we will have a future!"

Wen Jiao’s anxious words dissipated as the woman’s sudden slap hit her.

"Snap out of it! Miss Wen! Daughter of the Ship Lord! I know how powerful your father is. If he wanted to do something to Xiao Shu, he would not have the power to fight back! Miss Wen, I beg you, please consider this as my dying wish! I beg you, spare my son!"

After speaking, without waiting for Wen Jiao to react, she began to kowtow on the floor, one knock after another.

Wen Jiao hurried to stop her, crying as she embraced the woman, wiping the blood from her forehead, "What are you doing! Don’t be like this!"

"Begging Miss Wen, please agree to break up with Xiao Shu. If you do not agree, I will not die in peace!"

After speaking, seeing Wen Jiao’s hesitation and pain, she began to struggle violently in her arms, "Miss Wen! Please be generous! You truly are out of Xiao Shu’s league, I don’t want him to be in danger because of your affair! If you don’t agree, I’ll die right here for you to see!"

The woman truly fought with the conviction to die against Wen Jiao.

Wen Jiao could barely hold onto her, and just as she was exhausted, her body felt icy cold. The intense sorrow even made her feel nauseated, her voice choked and barely recognizable, "I promise... I agree!"

Finally, the woman stopped struggling.

She cried bitterly in Wen Jiao’s arms, saying, "Miss Wen, you will break up with him soon, right?"

"Yes..."

"Could you give Xiao Shu another fifty million? I’m afraid he won’t be able to live well on his own."

To Wen Jiao, this was nothing. She said she could. The moment she spoke, Wen Jiao understood that her life had nothing to do with Wei Shuqian’s anymore.

Wen Jiao’s tears fell onto Wei Shuqian’s hands. She looked at him with a bleak smile, "Wei Shuqian, your foster mother was right. At that time, if my father knew about your existence, or that I had transferred the money to you, you would have only one way out - death. I never felt that love could overcome power and money. To you, a billion in wealth should be more advantageous than our relationship."

Wei Shuqian had never imagined that everything would be so ridiculously absurd.

He looked at Wen Jiao, scoffed coldly, "So, you think after we broke up, I should have lived a prosperous and joyous life with the money you gave me, is that it?"

Wen Jiao didn’t speak, but her expression clearly conveyed that meaning.

"Wen Jiao, I never received that money. After we broke up, I was forced to go abroad to survive. I did illegal work, hard labor, waded through muddy waters, took the fall for others, I have done everything, just to survive."

Tears filled Wen Jiao’s eyes as she looked at Wei Shuqian, her voice choked, "I didn’t know that the money didn’t reach your hands, Wei Shuqian, I didn’t know at that time, that you would have to endure all this, I was just afraid that the money, and our affair, would be discovered by my father."

But life’s disparities are so unpredictable.

Wei Shuqian looked at Wen Jiao before him, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

"Jiaojiao," his voice hoarse, "you should have told me earlier."

Wen Jiao bit her lip tightly, her eyes brimming with tears.

Li Family, broad daylight, the sun was perfect.

Bian Yue sat in the living room, watching Li Tingmo elegantly sip tea, as if deep in contemplation.

She smiled and spoke in an unhurried manner, "Did you call me here today because of the lawyer’s letter?"

"Li Family has raised you for so many years after all, do you not feel the slightest bit of guilt for cutting ties so definitely?" Li Tingmo frowned, his expression somber.

Bian Yue smiled, leisurely watching Li Tingmo: "Do you feel guilty about plotting against my parents?"
