Jiang Wanqing looked at the people beside her and said softly, "Jiahe, Anran, please go over there and wait for me. I want to talk to my mother alone."

"Okay." After responding, several people turned around and walked away slowly.

Shen Zhenting looked at his wife, a trace of heartache between his brows, and finally turned and left.

Every year, Jiang Wanqing would come to worship her parents on this day.

Today is not only New Year's Eve, but also her mother's death anniversary.

Jiang Wanqing prefers talking to her mother rather than her strict father.

After everyone left, Jiang Wanqing wiped her tears and slowly began to speak.

"Mother, Jiahe is my biological child. Many years ago, due to a misunderstanding, the two children were swapped. Fortunately, she has returned to me now."

"Maybe it's because I've spent more time with Anran that I'm closer to her, while there's something between Jiahe and me. But luckily, the two of them get along well. Otherwise, I really don't know what I would do."

"An Ran also has someone she loves, Zhou Jingyan from the Zhou family, whom you once met. You said they were destined to be together and wanted to arrange a marriage for them. I never expected that fate would bring them together."

"I originally thought that our family could live happily like this, but Anran's biological father suddenly came to our house. I really couldn't bear to let Anran leave, and I couldn't bear to let her return to that complicated family."

……

"And Amin..."

Having said that, Jiang Wanqing couldn't help but sigh and interrupted her words.

She didn't want to mention that incident in front of her mother, as she didn't want her to know that it was Jiang Min who stole the jade bracelet and sold it to someone else.

In his mother's heart, Amin has always been a kind and innocent child, and she does not want to discredit him in front of her mother.

The moment she learned the truth, she immediately sent people to investigate.

The results confirmed that what the uncle said was true, Jiang Min once owed a huge gambling debt.

He paid off his debt immediately after getting the money from Uncle Shen.

She didn't understand when her once close brother became so unfamiliar and even cut off contact with her a few years ago.

At this moment, Jiang Wanqing didn't know where Jiang Min was. She had been looking for him for many years but couldn't find him.

Jiang Wanqing slowly stood up, her eyes revealing reluctance, and whispered, "Mother, Father, I'll come to see you next time."

She did not take the jade bracelet away, but buried it next to the tombstone.

On the way back, Jiang Wanqing felt extremely heavy-hearted.

At this moment, a familiar figure flashed by in front of her, as if deliberately avoiding her.

But even so, she recognized the man at a glance - her younger brother Jiang Min.

"Jiang Min!" She shouted the name loudly, with a hint of shock in her voice.

The latter stopped and turned around slowly.

Jiang Wanqing looked at him in astonishment, her eyes full of disbelief: "How could you become like this?"

Jiang Min was wearing a black coat and a mask on his face, covering himself tightly, but his white hair was clearly visible.

There was a momentary fluctuation in his eyes, but they quickly returned to normal.

He said coldly: "You recognized the wrong person."

Jiang Wanqing hurriedly chased after him, and with a scream of "Ah!" she accidentally slipped and fell to the ground.

When Jiang Min heard her scream, he immediately ran over to check the situation.

I saw that Jiang Wanqing's knee was injured and bleeding.

He quickly took out a handkerchief from his pocket, carefully placed it on her wound, and said in a low voice, "Where are your family members? Ask them to come and pick you up."

Jiang Wanqing's eyes were filled with longing. She asked, "Amin, where have you been all these years? Why don't you want to go home or come to see me?"

As she spoke, she reached out to take off his mask.

Jiang Min dodged slightly, but when his eyes met the glaring red bloodstain, he stopped resisting.

At this moment, Jiang Wanqing saw his weather-beaten face, especially the obvious scar on his eye, which made people feel distressed.

Tears welled up in Jiang Wanqing's eyes, and finally she couldn't help but let them fall. Her voice trembled, "Why...why didn't you come back to find us?"

Jiang Min is only in his early forties, but looks like he is over sixty.

He was thin and almost malnourished.

He lowered his head, his voice filled with unspeakable heaviness: "I'm sorry, I...I can't face you."

"Is it because you sold your mother's bracelet?"

Jiang Min suddenly looked painful and covered his face with one hand.

He choked up and said, "I...I indirectly killed my mother. I...I really don't know how to face you."

"Why didn't you tell me, my brother, when you were in such great trouble? We would have helped you, and mother was still thinking of you before she died."

Jiang Wanqing's tone was filled with confusion and sadness. Even if Jiang Min owed a debt, the Jiang family could afford to repay it.

She never understood why her brother chose to sell their mother's belongings and kept avoiding them. This was not in line with his character.

But apart from constantly apologizing, the other party did not give any explanation.

Jiang Wanqing touched Jiang Min's head, just like she did when she comforted him when he was a child.

Gently said: "Come home, we are all waiting for you."

"I'm sorry." Jiang Min's voice was low. After saying these three words, he quickly stood up and ran away.

No matter how Jiang Wanqing called him from behind, he did not turn around.

Jiang Wanqing pressed her injured knee hard. Although the pain from the wound was unbearable, it was far less painful than the suffocation in her heart.

Jiang Min ran until he reached an empty corner and stopped only when he was sure that there was no one around.

He leaned his back against the cold wall, breathing heavily.

Tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes. He tried to wipe them away, but new tears came.

He recalled the reason he stole his mother's things. It was not to pay off gambling debts, but because of a recurring dream.

After his mother passed away, Jiang Min was unable to get over it. It was his sister Jiang Wanqing who encouraged him to cheer up and arranged for him to study at Shen Group and start a new life as an ordinary employee.

There, he met a friend who always shared various interesting stories with him, and the two soon became good friends who could talk about anything.

He seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, and he conspired with his friend to steal confidential documents from within the company, causing heavy damage to the Shen Group.

In addition, the fake daughter of the Shen family pretended to be a victim, claiming that the Shen family bullied her.

This caused the Shen Group's stock to plummet, ultimately leading to the tragic death of their family.

He didn't believe it at first, but what happened next was exactly the same as in his dream, which made him feel scared.

So, he took his mother's bracelet and sold it to the third son of the Shen family, hoping that this would attract their attention, make them disappointed in him, and drive him out of the Jiang family.

In this way, he could not enter the Shen Group.

There would also be no chance for him to conspire with others to steal secrets and cause trouble for the Shen Group.
