The real heiress's disguise has been exposed, making her the most beloved member of Beijing

Jiang Xing snapped out of his thoughts. If his mother hadn't come back with people to find him last night because he hadn't returned, he might have actually fainted at the entrance of the villa in the East District.

He touched the injury on his forehead, frowned slightly in pain, and said, "It's nothing, I bumped into it myself."

"You crashed into it yourself? Brother, why did you..." Jiang Yonghe seemed to realize something as she spoke, and the worry in her eyes turned into self-blame, "Brother, is it because of the poison in your body... that you can't bear it, so you can only endure it by hurting yourself like this?"

Jiang Xing remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

"Brother, it's all because of me. If it weren't for me, Jiang Youli would have cured you of the poison yesterday, and you wouldn't have had to suffer for another day..." Jiang Yonghe's voice trembled with sobs as she finished speaking, and tears streamed down her face.

Jiang Zhao, who was fully conscious, did not see Jiang Yonghe's expression; he was already annoyed just by hearing her hypocritical voice.

God knows why he used to think Jiang Yonghe was so pitiful!

Touched by Jiang Yonghe's concern and worry, Jiang Xing momentarily forgot the excruciating pain she had felt the night before. She rubbed Jiang Yonghe's head and said, "It's alright. It's just one more night. Today, Jiang Youli not only has to wake Jiang Zhao up, but also detoxify me. You don't need to be sad."

"Hmm... but Jiang Youli dislikes us a lot, so why is she suddenly willing to help you detoxify, brother?" Jiang Yonghe asked with some concern.

"You don't need to worry about that." Jiang Xing didn't want Xiao He to be tainted by their dirty tricks, so she never talked to Xiao He about these things. "Alright, I'll go and handle Jiang Zhao's discharge procedures. You stay here and pack up. After you're done, take Jiang Zhao back."

Jiang Yonghe nodded obediently, "...Okay."

After Jiang Xing left the ward, Jiang Yonghe immediately changed her expression. While tidying up Jiang Zhao, she said with a smile and disdain, "Second brother, it seems that your father made a move, so Jiang Youli had no choice but to give in. But Jiang Youli is so confident that she can wake you up. I wonder what her expression will be when she finds out that you can't wake up."

Jiang Zhao spat countless times in her mind, then cursed Jiang Yonghe as a vicious woman.

His sister Jiang Youli said that if he could wake up, then he definitely could wake up!

……

In the Qi family mansion, the late autumn sunlight filtered through the lush foliage, casting dappled shadows.

After sending a message to Jiang Youli, Qi Huan had Cheng Jing push her wheelchair to go to the Jiang family home.

As I walked into the front hall, I heard Qi Tianxiang's voice behind me.

"Huan'er, why have I been unable to contact Qi Yue these past two days? After Qi Yue was taken away by those people, didn't you go to rescue him?"

Qi Huan stopped upon hearing the sound, her gaze calm as she looked at Qi Tianxiang who had walked up to her. A half-smile played on her lips as she retorted, "Father, you're joking. Qi Yue wanted my life, and you're asking me why I didn't go to save him?"

Qi Tianxiang's face first turned somewhat awkward, then he sternly accused, "Your brother was just confused for a moment. He was sent away by your grandfather when he was young, and he felt unbalanced and resentful when he came back. He accidentally did something wrong. But no matter what, he is still your own brother, the child that your mother risked her life to find. Can you really bear to let him be beaten to death?"

Seeing how matter-of-factly he spoke, Qi Huan suddenly found it rather pointless, so she said indifferently, "I've already had Cheng Jing investigate."

Qi Tianxiang finally calmed down and said with satisfaction, "That's more like it. Tell me as soon as you find out about your brother Qi Yue..."

Qi Huan interrupted him, saying, "The investigation I'm talking about isn't about investigating Qi Yue's whereabouts, but about investigating whether he is actually my brother."

Hearing this, Qi Tianxiang was stunned. A flash of panic crossed his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "What are you thinking? Qi Yue is your own brother! Aren't you afraid that your mother in heaven will be disappointed in you for saying these things?"

Mentioning her mother, Qi Huan's gaze sharpened as she looked at Qi Tianxiang. "You are the one who has the least right to mention your mother. If Qi Yu can be your illegitimate daughter, how can Qi Yue not be your illegitimate son as well? Otherwise, why have you always treated them better than you have treated me?"

Hearing Qi Huan's words, Qi Tianxiang assumed she was resentful of not receiving his affection, so he sighed and said, "Huan'er, haven't you received enough love growing up? What are you comparing yourself to your brother? Don't you see how hard your brother's life was before? My kindness to him is purely to make up for it! I admit that Qi Yu's situation was my fault; I didn't handle the aftermath properly, and Bai Xueru got pregnant with my child and gave birth. But Qi Yu's mother is dead, and she is still my daughter. How can I abandon her?"

Qi Huan said, "There's no need for so much explanation. Once Cheng Jing finds out that Qi Yue is not my biological brother, not only will he be finished, but I won't let you off either."

After saying that, he ignored Qi Tianxiang and gestured for Cheng Jing to continue on his way.

Qi Tianxiang watched Qi Huan's retreating figure, his eyes filled with an extremely gloomy expression. He knew he simply couldn't bring himself to like his son, Qi Huan.

Because Qi Huan's personality is just like his mother's!

After Qi Huan walked away, Qi Tianxiang dialed Qi Yue's number again, but no one answered.

Qi Tianxiang suddenly felt a little worried. Could it be that Qi Yue had been captured by Qi Huan in order to interrogate him about his younger brother's whereabouts?

If his son Qi Huan and the old man really found out that Qi Yue was his illegitimate son, he believed that Qi Huan and the old man would definitely not let him off!

No, we must find Qi Yue as soon as possible, we can't let him be tortured into confessing by Qi Huan!

After walking a distance, Cheng Jing, pushing the wheelchair, asked in confusion, "Why did you tell your father about the investigation, young master? Aren't you afraid he'll become suspicious?"

Qi Huan said calmly, "Sometimes being too vigilant can backfire and expose weaknesses."

Judging from Qi Tianxiang's reaction, Qi Huan can basically conclude that Qi Yue is not his biological brother. Now, all that's missing is concrete evidence to confirm his guess and definitively sentence Qi Yue and Qi Tianxiang to death.

……

after an hour.

At the entrance of the Jiang family's residence, Cheng Jing parked the car.

Qi Huan dialed Jiang Youli's number and said gently, "Little Li'er, I've arrived."

"Okay, I'll come pick you up."

Ten minutes later, Jiang Youli arrived at the main gate and was about to open the gate for Qi Huan so that Cheng Jing could drive the car in when Jiang Xing's car also drove back.

Jiang Xing recognized Qi Huan's car in front of him and was taken aback.

Why is Qi Huan here?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yonghe looked out and, after confirming that it was Qi Huan's car, subconsciously touched her face, which was covered by a mask.

The thought of Qi Huan seeing her disfigured state before she was cured of her poison was unbearable.

After Jiang Youli opened the main gate, Cheng Jing drove his car in, and Jiang Xing's car followed closely behind, both parking in the garage not far from the entrance.

After parking the car, Jiang Xing got out and had the bodyguards carry the unconscious Jiang Zhao out of the car.

After letting Cheng Jing lift him into a wheelchair, Qi Huan glanced at Jiang Zhao, who was being carried out of the car, and smiled faintly at Jiang Youli, who was walking behind him, saying, "Little Li'er, Jiang Zhao was carried back to the Jiang family before he even woke up. It seems they have a way to wake him up."
