Chapter 351
Mu Shaoting's every word was very measured, advancing and retreating in a measured manner, neither persecuting nor forcing, it really made Jiang Rui unable to say any words of rejection.

He subconsciously raised his hand and wiped his forehead...

However, the air-conditioning in the tea room was sufficient, and it wasn't actually hot at all, but he felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat, and he always felt that Mu Shaoting would ask questions that he didn't want to mention.

Even so, under Mu Shaoting's pleading eyes, he still nodded.

After Mu Shaoting got his permission, he immediately opened his mouth.

"Qianqian's mother is from H City, her surname is Lin, her name is Lin Yuexin, isn't she?"

This question is so direct that there is no room for people to avoid it. Seeing Mu Shaoting's appearance of knowing everything, it is meaningless to deny it.

In other words, he already knew it at all, and he just came to prove it.

Jiang Rui nodded, "Yes."

Mu Shaoting went on to say: "Lin Yuexin's father, Mr. Lin Yuanshan, who is also Qianqian's grandfather, has been in City B for a while, and he has had relatively close contact with Qianqian in private. I heard you say last night... The old man seems to have come to look for you, did he want to recognize Qianqian?"

"……Yes."

"But, uncle, you refused?"

Mu Shaoting was just asking a question, and when he met Jiang Rui's puzzled and probing eyes, Mu Shaoting explained: "It's very simple, if you agree, it's impossible for Qianqian to remain in the dark."

Jiang Rui's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he had to admire the young man's thoughtfulness and wisdom.

He still nodded, "Yes, I refused."

Besides yes, he finally said a few more words.

Then, silence fell between the two.

Mu Shaoting repeated the process of making tea again before opening his mouth again, "Can I ask why? Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to answer my uncle because of some unavoidable reason, but it's not related to the matter." Qianqian, I will definitely think of other ways to figure it out.”

What he said was still very polite, and gave Jiang Rui a step to go down. It would not give people an aggressive feeling, but it had a natural strength that made people have to say it.

Jiang Rui knew that there was no need to hide it from him, so he could only tell the truth.

What's more, as long as Mu Shaoting's heart is the same as his, and he is wholeheartedly for Jiang Qingqian's good, then it is not a bad thing to let him know the specific situation.

After a deep sigh, Jiang Rui opened his mouth slowly, "It's not that there is any compelling reason, but... I hope that Qianqian can live a simple and happy life, and that this life is safe and happy is enough , her mother came from a rich family, although that kind of family is rich and powerful, it may not be suitable for Qianqian."

Mu Shaoting nodded, agreeing with Jiang Rui's words.

Compared with Sun Yaqin who came to hug Jiang Qingqian's thigh after knowing her life experience, Jiang Rui is the one who really considers Jiang Qingqian's point of view.

I don't want to climb the dragon and become the phoenix, I just want her to be safe and healthy throughout her life.

What a simple yet profound desire this is!

Mu Shaoting then asked: "Qianqian still doesn't know that Lin Yuanshan is her grandfather, so it means that the old man didn't mention their relationship in front of her. You don't want him to recognize his granddaughter, does he agree?"

Jiang Rui said: "The old man is quite reasonable. On this matter, he respects my opinion. Of course... Maybe he has other plans..."

Other plans?

Mu Shaoting fell into deep thought.

Since the end of last year, Lin's has aggressively entered the market of City B, coupled with the water park project under construction, it can be described as a sensation.

If Lin Yuanshan came to City B again to meet his granddaughter, it would be news.

However, there was no news about this matter.

Lin Yuanshan concealed his identity and had contact with Jiang Qingqian. Jiang Qingqian himself didn't know about it. Few people even knew that Lin Yuanshan had come to City B, at least he, who still had the title of Lin Wanyu's fiancé, didn't know about it.

Could it be that there is really something else hidden?
Mu Shaoting couldn't think of a reason, so he tried to find an answer from Jiang Rui.

"Uncle, if it's convenient, can you tell me something about my father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

Even though Jiang Qingqian's biological parents were long gone, Mu Shaoting still respectfully referred to him as his parents-in-law, deliberately bringing the relationship so close that Jiang Rui was embarrassed not to tell him.

"What do you want to know?"

"Uncle, just tell me what you know! For example, how did they meet and how did they die..."

"This...it's a long story!"

"It's okay, I have time today."

Mu Shaoting looked as if he wanted to have a long talk with him, Jiang Rui could only sip his tea again, and then spoke slowly.

"I don't know if Qianqian has mentioned it to you, but my own biological parents passed away a long time ago, only me and Qianqian's father are left, and we two brothers depend on each other..."

"Well, Qianqian said it before."

"It's about being dependent on each other, but it's actually better to say that the elder brother is the father. The elder brother is ten years older than me, but he has always taken care of me. He is the person I respect and admire most in my life."

"..."

"The year our parents died, I was only eight years old. My eldest brother, he was still in high school that year, but he took on the mission of being both a father and a mother for me. It was he who took care of me all the time. With the help of our relatives, we barely made it through, and later my eldest brother was admitted to a university, a university in H City..."

"..."

"Brother has always been excellent, but when he received the university admission letter, he hesitated. He wanted to go to university, but City H and City B are one south and one north, so he can't worry about me!"

"and after?"

"Later...after more than a month of consideration and struggle, he finally made a difficult and courageous decision, that is, to take me to go to college together, we arrived in H City together, and started a new life...Brother really He worked very hard and was excellent. He worked several odd jobs at the same time, not only to earn tuition fees, but also to earn living expenses for both of us. Although life was very difficult at that time, we survived and felt very happy... "

"..."

"In this way, it lasted until my eldest brother graduated and started working. Our life has improved a lot. At this time, the accident happened. The eldest brother who has always been too busy to fall in love met his sister-in-law..."

"..."

"It's sister-in-law, but in fact they have never been married..."

When Mu Shaoting heard this, he couldn't help being startled. This was something he had never thought about. Was Jiang Qingqian born out of wedlock?
"Why?" Mu Shaoting asked back.

Jiang Rui sighed, and continued: "Because no matter how good the eldest brother is, he is just a poor boy from the countryside without any backing or connections, while his sister-in-law is a rich lady from a famous family. She was still young at the time. He was probably about seventeen or eighteen years old, so Mr. Lin came to beat the mandarin ducks with a club, and refused to agree with them to be together."

"..."

"At that time, Mr. Lin and sister-in-law's elder brothers took turns persuading, persuading, threatening, and warning my elder brother. They only wanted to break them up, but my elder brother refused to give up and kept working hard, hoping to make my elder brother feel better. The old man changed his mind about him, and the sister-in-law...maybe she was still young at the time, and it was the time when she was willful and rebellious. She threatened that she would not marry unless it was my elder brother. They tried to resist in various ways, and even eloped together..."

Mu Shaoting listened quietly all the time, and did not draw any more illustrations.

However, even using the elopement trick, one can imagine that Lin Yuanshan was angry and annoyed at the time, after all, he was the apple of his eye!

"Until later, my sister-in-law had Qianqian..."

Jiang Rui continued: "In those days, getting pregnant before marriage was a big event that would attract notoriety. They originally wanted to let the raw rice be cooked first. After they had a child, they might be able to get the old man's approval and understanding. Unexpectedly ...The wealthy family values ​​face the most, and their actions undoubtedly provoked the authority of the old man, who was furious and asked his sister-in-law to abort the child, otherwise the relationship between father and daughter would be severed."

"..."

"Sister-in-law is also a stubborn person. She said on the spot that there is no such father, and she will be at odds with anyone who dares to set her child's mind."

"..."

"What a conflict! That year, I remember very clearly that in the house that my elder brother and I rented, the old man was so angry that he walked away. Before he left, he said harsh words, as if he had never given birth to this daughter. Let her never mention that her surname is Lin outside."

Jiang Rui spoke with distant eyes.

It's like, back to that year, back to that scene.

Mu Shaoting didn't interrupt him until Jiang Rui's eyes recovered and he slowly walked out of the scene, he asked, "Did they really break off the relationship like this?"

Jiang Rui said: "After all, he is his own flesh and blood. At that time, it was just an angry remark. He could really break it up. Although the old man didn't show up later, he also sent other people to be lobbyists. But she was driven away by my sister-in-law, and later my sister-in-law gave birth to Qianqian..."

"..."

"When Qianqian just turned [-] days old, something happened."

As soon as Mu Shaoting heard that it was about Jiang Qingqian, he couldn't wait to ask: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Rui replied: "That day, my eldest brother and sister-in-law took Qianqian to go out happily to take a hundred sun photos, and almost lost Qianqian."

"What is almost?"

"I didn't pay attention for a while, so I was taken away by someone. Fortunately, I found it early and chased it back. At first, I thought it was a human trafficker or something. Later, the man confessed, saying that the old man sent him to take the child away. He also said that if sister-in-law refuses to leave eldest brother, she will never see her child again..."

These words... Mu Shaoting frowned upon hearing this.

Is it because he doesn't understand Lin Yuanshan and Lin Yuexin or something, why does he think that Lin Yuanshan is not such a stubborn old man?
Will he really force his own daughter to this point in order to destroy his daughter's marriage?
