My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 260: Strange connection.

At night-

Xu Nuan was dressed in her silk pajamas and was wearing her hair down. She wasn’t wearing any makeup but was still looking beautiful and refreshing as ever. She was sitting in the living room and was working on her laptop.

Meanwhile, Han Zihao was in the kitchen and was preparing dinner for the two. While cooking in the kitchen, he glanced at her and wondered what was keeping her so busy.

She is even busier than him and she isn’t even glancing at him.

~Ring~

Xu Nuan was startled when her phone started to ring suddenly. She looked at the number on the screen and frowned.

It was the landline number of Gu Mansion. But why are they calling her at this time?

.....

She sighed and answered the call. However, before she could say anything, she heard Grandmother Gu’s screeching voice from the other side, ” Xu Nuan, you’re so shameless! How can you do this to your sister and family?”

” Even though there were some misunderstandings between you two, how can you involve the police in this matter? It was our family matter. We could have solved it if you had talked to us.”

” Do you know, to punish Xingren, your father was ready to send Xingren abroad. To satisfy your so-called ego, he was ready to send Xingren away from us. What more do you want?” She said in frustration.

After Han Zihao left, Xingren locked herself in the room and hasn’t eaten anything since then. Her heart was aching seeing her in this vulnerable condition.

Not only that, reaching out to the police for this issue means revealing their family’s issues to the whole world. How embarrassing!

What will people think of the Gu family now?

Lin Ran, who was standing beside Grandmother Gu, took the phone from her and asked, ” How can you ruin Xingren’s whole life because of her small mistakes? Even if she did wrong by making that post on the forum, can’t you just let it go for once?”

” I will get her to apologize to you for that. It’s not that serious to involve the police in this matter.” Lin Ran tried to convince Xu Nuan to take back her complaint.

Xu Nuan frowned as she couldn’t understand what she was saying. She turned around and saw Han Zihao watching her from behind with meaningful expressions.

She took a deep breath and said, ” First of all, your daughter’s mistakes were not small at all. Even after knowing the truth, how can you all still call them small mistakes? Will you forgive me If I push you on the road and almost get you killed?”

Lin Ran gritted her teeth and took a deep breath, ” Xu Nuan, we can talk about this later. Firstly, take back your complaint. After this, you can come to our mansion and stay with us. If you want, we can announce to everyone that you’re our daughter.”

” We will fix everything back to the same.”

Xu Nuan chuckled as she couldn’t believe they’re saying this to her. She doesn’t know what’s going on, but she could feel the desperation in her voice.

However, before she could say anything, Han Zihao approached her and snatched the phone from her, leaving her baffled.

” If you continue to call her and bother her like this, I can add more charges to the complaint as well. Also, don’t expect us to take down the complaint.”

” Because I am not soft-hearted enough to let go of a murderer like Xingren.” He said coldly, making Lin Ran froze in her place. She wasn’t expecting the two of them to be together at this time.

” Murderer? She didn’t do anything. She is not a murderer.” she said firmly.

Han Zihao didn’t reply to her and hung up the call.

After hanging up the call, Xu Nuan stared at him and asked, ” Now....will you tell me what’s going on? How come I don’t know anything about this drama?”

He pursed his lips before recalling the events that happened in the day.

Jiang Mansion-

Grandfather Jiang was sitting in his study room as he studied the quarterly reports of the company. After Jiang Yue’s death, his health condition got worse and with no choice, he had to allow his younger son and granddaughter to handle the business.

However, rather than giving the whole power in their hands, he kept the deciding powers with him and kept a check on the reports from time to time. Because, unlike Jiang Yue, they were the people that he cannot trust.

If Jiang Yue would have been there, he could have convinced her to take over the business. She was angry when she left the house but she still accepted his condition and studied business despite her busy schedule.

There were differences between them but their relationship was not bad to the point of cutting all the ties altogether. She was still his little princess who had brightened the Jiang Mansion when she came to the Jiang Mansion with her parents.

However, over time, things took a wrong turn after his eldest son and daughter-in-law’s death and the relationship between them got estranged.

As various thoughts flashed by his mind while reading the report, he heard a knock on the door. When he looked up, he found his secretary standing at the door.

He placed the reports aside and put down his thin-golden framed glasses and leaned back on the chair before asking, ” Did you find out anything?”

” Sir, I have found out about the details of the person who visited the cemetery the other day. That day, since the weather was quite bad and the cemetery was also in the mountains, only two people came other than us.”

The old man placed his hands on the armrest and asked with a deep frown, ” Only two people? Who are they?”

” Out of them, one is the President of Han Corporations, Han Zihao and the other is the daughter of the Gu family, Xu Nuan.” The secretary replied.

” The president of Han Corporations? But how does he know Jiang Yue? Because it was her who used to visit the cemetery on her parents’ death anniversary and bring a small cactus plant for her mother. There is no way that anyone can know about this tradition of Jiang Yue. Are you sure no one else visited the cemetery the other day?” The old man asked.

The secretary shook his head and said, ” I was confused at first but after digging a little deeper, I found out that Han Zihao is related to Ms. Jiang. He was the major investor of most of the brands that Ms. Jiang Yue had endorsed it.”

” After coming back from abroad, it seems like he got interested in her and had supported her from the sidelines. Because I couldn’t find any information about them having any other connection other than this. ”

The old man looked at the profiles of both the people that his secretary had passed to him. ” And what about this child? Do you have any information about her?” The old man asked while picking up Xu Nuan’s picture.

” Ms. Xu Nuan was adopted by the Gu family when she was 15 years old. However, there are rumors going around in the business circle that Xu Nuan is not the adopted daughter but the biological daughter of the Gu family.”

Grandfather Jiang frowned and took a deep sigh. He wasn’t interested in knowing the familial issues of other people. He just wants to know more things related to his granddaughter.

” Does she have any connection with Jiang Yue? Was she her friend?”

” There wasn’t any connection between the two. Ah, but there is one strange thing.” The secretary exclaimed.

The old man frowned and waved at him to continue, ” A few months ago, Ms. Xu got into an accident with Mr. Han’s car. But the surprising thing was, it was the same day when Ms. Jiang got into an accident on the set.”

” However, Ms. Xu Nuan got better after she received the treatment. After going through the operation, the doctors were able to save her life.”

Grandfather Jiang smiled bitterly. But his granddaughter couldn’t see the rising sun the next day. Poor her!

” What is surprising about that? It’s a good thing that she got better.” He said with a bitter-sad smile on his lips.

The secretary pursed his lips and said hesitatingly, ” That’s not surprising but the words that she said after waking up in the hospital.”

” What is it?”

The secretary took a deep breath and said, ” The doctors said that she had temporary memory loss after the accident. However, in such cases, the patient generally asks about their identity, their name or sometimes they cannot remember some parts of their memories.”

” However, she was claiming to be the other person after waking up. Rather than being confused about her identity, she asked the doctors why they were calling her with the wrong name. Her name is Jiang Yue and not Xu Nuan. That’s what the nurses available there said about M.s Xu Nuan.”

” What? Jiang....Jiang Yue? She called herself Jiang Yue?” The old man’s eyes widened in shock when he heard his secretary’s words. How can someone claim to be someone else when they just woke up after the operation?
