Chapter 85: Aunt Qian's Journey! (Please subscribe to the two-in-one version!)
Jiang Qian finally returned home, supporting herself with her weak and sore body that seemed as if it would fall apart at any moment.

She felt as if her spine had been removed, her steps were weak, and every step was extremely difficult.

As soon as she entered the house, she saw Meng Qingning sitting quietly alone on the balcony.

Meng Qingning crossed her legs, her legs raised high and dangling casually. The dim light outlined her graceful figure, but her look revealed an indescribable loneliness.
Jiang Qian walked over with heavy steps, her voice full of fatigue and hoarseness that could not be concealed, and asked, "Ningning, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Qingning slowly turned her head, her face expressionless and her eyes so empty that it was frightening.

She spoke softly, her voice so calm as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her: "My parents are divorced." After a pause, she pulled a warm smile at the corner of her mouth and turned back, "Aunt Qian, I have no home."

Jiang Qian's heart suddenly tightened, and looking at Meng Qingning's appearance, she felt extremely distressed.

Are you still divorced?

But at the same time, everything she had suffered at Lu Mingze's house today came flooding back to her mind, making her emotions extremely complicated.

She opened her mouth, wanting to comfort Meng Qingning, but found that her throat seemed to be choked by something and she couldn't utter a word.

Meng Qingning didn't seem to notice Jiang Qian's abnormality. His eyes drifted away again and he murmured to himself, "Aunt Qian, what do you think I should do? I have nothing left and Lu Mingze doesn't want me anymore." As he spoke, his eyes seemed to turn red and big tears rolled down, but he still had a smile on his face.

Jiang Qian finally came to her senses. She reached out her hand to hug Meng Qingning and give her some warmth and comfort, but when her hand was halfway out, she seemed to suddenly remember something and abruptly retracted it.

She was struggling painfully in her heart. On the one hand, there was the years of friendship and heartache for Meng Qingning; on the other hand, there was the humiliation and unbearableness she had suffered in Lu Mingze's house.

"Ning Ning."

Jiang Qian spoke with difficulty, her voice trembling, "These things will be fine, don't be too sad."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she felt that her comfort was too dry and powerless.

Meng Qingning suddenly turned her head and stared straight at Jiang Qian, her eyes full of calmness: "Aunt Qian, do you have something to tell me? What happened when you met Lu Mingze today?"

"."

Jiang Qian's heart sank suddenly. She hurriedly avoided Meng Qingning's gaze, her eyes flickering as she stammered, "No, nothing. I just had a simple talk with him. He, he still refused to forgive me. It's Aunt Qian's fault. Aunt Qian shouldn't have broken up with him. It upset him."

"Ah."

Meng Qingning stared at her straight in the eyes, "Aunt Qian, you will work hard, right?"

"Um"

Jiang Qian looked at Meng Qingning's crazy appearance, and her uneasiness became stronger.

She knew that Meng Qingning had completely fallen into obsession. If this continued, not only would Meng Qingning be completely destroyed, but she would also be dragged into an endless abyss.

"Ningning, you and I, we can't go on like this."

Jiang Qian mustered up her courage and said, "Let's let go, let Lu Mingze go, and let ourselves go..."

"Let go?"

Meng Qingning suddenly screamed as if she had heard some ridiculous joke. She dropped her crossed legs and stood up. "Jiang Qian, how could you say such a thing? Have you forgotten our plan? Have you forgotten your promise to me?"

My mood is a little unstable.

Jiang Qian was startled by Meng Qingning's reaction and took a step back, her body trembling slightly: "Ningning, I haven't forgotten, but things are beyond our control. If we continue like this, we will all be doomed..."

"There's no way back?" Meng Qingning's eyes turned crazy and determined. He crossed his legs again and leaned back slightly. "Even if there's no way back, I'm going to get Lu Mingze back! Aunt Qian, if you don't help me, I'll tell everyone everything that happened before, and then..."

Jiang Qian's face turned pale in an instant.

Her lips trembled and she wanted to say something, but she was completely shocked by Meng Qingning's madness and couldn't utter a word.

Just then, Jiang Qian's cell phone suddenly rang. She took out her phone in a panic and saw the caller ID.

Jiang Qian dodged for a moment, as if trying to escape the overwhelming chaos and pressure, then hurriedly got up and walked into the bathroom with unsteady steps.

Her soft body seemed to have no support and she sat heavily on the toilet.

Her thoughts drifted away, and she thought of Jiang Yun, Meng Qingning's mother, the daughter of her father's comrade-in-arms, who grew up in her home.

This relationship is the reason why Meng Qingning calls her aunt.

Just as I was lost in thought, the phone screen lit up. It was a message from Jiang Yun.

The content on the screen was simple and clear, just like Jiang Yun's decisive style.

Jiang Yun: "I'm divorced."

Jiang Yun: "VIP8888 Suite of Shancheng Hilton Hotel." It's just a hotel address.

Jiang Qian stared at the phone screen, but couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

Her eyes were fixed on the words, as if she were under a spell.

After a long time, she slowly raised her neck, and used her little hands to push her hair back absentmindedly. Her rosy lips opened slightly, and she took a deep breath, as if she wanted to expel all the panic and anxiety in her heart with this breath.

She stood up, reached out her hand mechanically, pressed the button on the toilet, and listened to the sound of water flushing away.

The voice seemed to sweep away her thoughts at the moment, but those messy thoughts were still running rampant in her mind.

She didn't know what Jiang Yun meant by suddenly sending this address, and she didn't know whether she should go to this unknown appointment. Her heart was full of entanglement and anxiety, but the unknown uneasiness was like a vine, tightly wrapped around her, making her increasingly breathless.

The main reason was that there were some memories that followed Jiang Qian like a shadow and could not be erased from her mind.

Return to the living room.

"what happened?"

I heard Meng Qingning's concern.

Jiang Qian was wearing slippers, her eyes subconsciously avoiding him. She really didn't know how to tell Meng Qingning about all the complicated things.

She knew that she also had an unshirkable responsibility for Meng Qingning's current personality. Perhaps, from the very beginning, she had planted the seeds of this evil consequence with her own hands.

Her thoughts drifted involuntarily to Meng Qingning's mother, Jiang Yun. Jiang Qian took a deep breath, suppressed her complex emotions, turned to the bedroom, packed a few clothes, dragged her suitcase, and told Meng Qingning that she was going back to the capital.

However, as soon as she left the house, she took a taxi straight to the hotel.

Jiang Qian's delicate eyelashes trembled slightly as she gazed through the car window at the passing street scenes outside. Her delicate and beautiful face was reflected in the window, but it was full of melancholy.

It took her a while before she saw the brightly lit hotel standing before her.

She walked into the hotel, her high heels making crisp sounds on the smooth floor, and every step seemed to be stepping on her heart.

In the room, Jiang Yun sat on the fluffy carpet with her legs crossed, exuding a cold and repellent aura.

Although she is old, she is full of charm. Her wheat-colored skin is faintly visible under the white bathrobe, and her curves are well-proportioned. Her whole body exudes the unique sexiness of a mature woman.

The evening news was playing on the screen. The serious voice echoed in the quiet room, inexplicably fitting in with Jiang Yun's cold and elegant temperament, adding a sense of mysterious tranquility.

"Sister." Jiang Qian called softly, with a hint of caution in her voice, then dragged her suitcase and squeezed into the room sideways.

She closed the door and turned to look at Jiang Yun, her eyes filled with complex emotions, including the feeling of reunion after a long separation and the uneasiness about the current situation.

Jiang Yun raised her eyes slightly, moving her gaze away from the TV screen and onto Jiang Qian. Her expression remained cold, without any excessive ripples. She simply said, "Here I am."

The voice seemed to be wrapped in a layer of frost, making people feel no warmth at all.

Jiang Qian was a little at a loss for a moment. She subconsciously grabbed the handle of the suitcase, as if looking for support.

The atmosphere in the room was somewhat depressing, with only the sound of news broadcasts on TV echoing in the air.

Jiang Qian opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start. She could only stand there awkwardly, glancing at Jiang Yun from time to time, trying to find a sign of easing on her frosty face.

Jiang Yun gently shook the red wine glass in her hand, and the crystal liquid swirled in the glass. Her eyes were still fixed on the TV. She just pursed her lips slightly and said, "Go take a shower."

Jiang Qian's body tensed up suddenly, as if this sentence had struck a sensitive nerve. Without moving, she stammered, "Sister, you and your brother-in-law."

This time, Jiang Yun finally showed a clear reaction. She calmly turned her eyes away from the TV and looked directly at Jiang Qian, asking, "Don't you know what's going on between me and your brother-in-law?"

Of course Jiang Qian knew, she had always known. And because of this, she always felt sorry for Meng Qingning. Meng Qingning had never been able to enjoy normal maternal love since she was a child.

Jiang Qian was filled with guilt and wanted to protect her as a mother, but as things developed, she found herself increasingly unable to do so.

"Sister" Jiang Qian slowly sat over, her eyelashes trembling slightly when she turned her head, but she didn't say anything in the end. Then she turned her head away, not daring to look into Jiang Yun's eyes.

Jiang Yun put her lips to the red wine glass, took a sip, and said, "You say it, you know I'm listening."

Jiang Qian took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Even if you and your brother-in-law are divorced, you should have a good talk with Ning Ning."

"I've already talked to her about this."

"Ningning is your daughter after all, and she has always been so respectful to you."

Jiang Yun obviously didn't want to hear this. She impatiently drank the red wine in her glass and rudely interrupted Jiang Qian: "These are not important to me anymore."

"sister!"

"Ningning is just a child he brought home. She's not my biological child."

Jiang Qian didn't want to listen any further, so she raised her voice, almost with anger: "No matter what, Ningning is not wrong!"

"Well, if you say she is not wrong, then she is not wrong." This powerful woman, who is the chairman of a large state-owned enterprise, thought for a moment, then raised her head, completely exposing her white neck.

She leaned forward slightly and said ambiguously, "Isn't my sister yours?"

"Jiang Yun!" Jiang Qian couldn't bear it anymore. She reached out and pushed hard, clenching her fists. Her lips trembled and her tone was stern: "We said it a long time ago! We're over!"

But Jiang Yun obviously ignored all this and said directly, "You are thirty now. If you are not dating or getting married, you are still waiting, right?" She leaned forward slightly, her hands already on the carpet, and looked up at Jiang Qian with a complicated look in her eyes. "The thing I regret most back then was agreeing to you out of spite. For all these years, I never let that man touch me once."

"Enough, enough!" Jiang Qian's face flushed. She stood up and said excitedly, "If you want to say this, then there's no need for us to meet in the future."

Seeing her leave, Jiang Yun, the usually aloof woman, showed panic for the first time on her face, but she gritted her teeth and said, "Jiang Qian, I'll listen to you. I'm already married and have raised a child. I was just staying at your house temporarily, so I don't need to worry about other people's feelings now. What do you want from me?"

Jiang Qian frowned, feeling annoyed, and walked towards the hotel entrance without looking back.

"Ah, you are not allowed to leave. Explain yourself clearly to me!" Jiang Yun, who was difficult to approach in Meng Qingning's eyes, was so stubborn at this moment.

Seeing her standing in front of her without giving in, Jiang Qian gritted her teeth and blurted out, "I've had it with a man."

Jiang Yun didn't believe it at first, but looking at Jiang Qian's resolute look and her unwillingness to say anything more, an indescribable chill instantly emanated from her whole body.

Jiang Qian pouted her rosy lips and retorted bluntly: "Do I need to tell you all this now?"

She paused, then emphasized, "All you need to know is that I have a man, a man I love, and that's all!"

Jiang Yun suddenly stumbled, her originally cool and elegant face becoming extremely ugly. She said stiffly, "Do you think I would believe you? You can't even get in touch with them!"

"Jiang Yun, people change."

Jiang Yun sneered, "Then bring the person here for me to see. If it's true, I'll bless you."

In fact, Jiang Qian was not afraid of her at all. No matter how cold her tone was or how strong her aura was, she walked past her and was about to walk out of the room with a pair of very charming long legs.

Jiang Yun, on the other hand, couldn't accept it and grabbed Jiang Qian's wrist. She actually said, "Jiang Qian, you don't want Meng Qingning to know about our past and know that she is not my biological child."

Such a strong sense of déjà vu!

".You really didn't have sex with your brother-in-law? Is Meng Qingning really not your biological child?"

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Qian suddenly grabbed the back of Jiang Yun's hand with force, then shook it off fiercely, "If you want to tell Meng Qingning, go ahead and tell me. I'm not going to serve you anymore!!"
