Chapter 662 Knowing the truth
"If it weren't for this, you wouldn't have severed ties with the Jiang family and chosen to be with Bai Yalan. Father was so angry about your situation that he swore that no matter what happened to you outside, it had nothing to do with us. Later, he thought that you were used to a good life and would not be used to living in poverty. He has been waiting for you to come back to the Jiang family and admit your mistakes to him."
"Who knew that you would really persevere for Bai Yalan in the end? At that time, father was in poor health, and he wanted to see the family live in harmony, so he was still upset about you leaving the Jiang family. Then, when I heard that Bai Yalan was pregnant, I couldn't bear to see the descendants of the Jiang family wandering outside, so I personally went to find father and asked him to agree to take you and Bai Yalan back to the Jiang family."
"Father finally agreed. I thought he really accepted Bai Yalan, but I didn't expect that he also lied to me. His fundamental purpose was just to trick you back to the Jiang family. But because of your face, he couldn't do anything to Bai Yalan. So he only asked those people in the Jiang family to deliberately be indifferent and bully Bai Yalan when you went to work in the company during the day."
"Why didn't you tell me these things earlier? If I had known, I would have taken Yalan away from the Jiang family and stayed away from you. In this way, Yalan would not have been killed by you, and Mubai would not have lost his mother at such a young age."
"I wanted to tell you, but my father wouldn't let me. He threatened me that if I told you, he would kick me out of the company. At that time, the project I was working on was at a critical stage. After hearing what he said, how could I dare to act rashly? I thought Bai Yalan would get better after giving birth to the child. If she gave birth to a son for you, your father might let Bai Yalan go for the sake of the child. But I didn't expect that she would give birth to a girl like Qingyu in the end."
"If that's the case, I won't have any confidence to negotiate with my father. You know how rude and arbitrary my father is. It's not just me who can change his opinion of Bai Yalan. At that time, I thought you didn't have such deep feelings for Bai Yalan. With the strength and background of our Jiang family, we can find anyone after Bai Yalan is gone. It won't be a problem to find you someone who is a thousand times better than Bai Yalan. Who would have known that you actually have such deep feelings for her."
"You just assumed everything! If I didn't love Yalan at the beginning, why would I choose to break up with you? Couldn't you see it at that time? You actually knew it in your heart but just didn't want to believe it, so you made up these excuses to deceive yourself so that you could feel at ease."
Jiang Ping realized that his thoughts were exposed and he didn't know how to refute what Jiang An said, so he just remained silent.
After listening to Jiang Ping's story, Jiang An never expected that the mastermind behind these things would be his own father.
"This is the whole truth. I know that apologizing to you now won't make up for anything, but it's all my fault anyway. I shouldn't have stood on my father's side and caused Bai Yalan to die at such a young age. I also shouldn't have abandoned you for my own career and pretended that nothing had happened."
"It's all my fault, An. If you want to blame someone, just blame me."
Things were exactly as Jiang Ping said. If he had revealed what his father had done to Jiang An, Jiang An's family of three would not be in the situation they are today. It was Jiang Ping's fault that he was too young at the time and had no idea what would happen later. If he had known, he would definitely not have helped their father to do evil.
"What's the point of you apologizing to me now! The ones you should apologize to are Yalan and Mubai. Although you didn't plan this incident yourself, you are also an accomplice! If it weren't for you, my Yalan wouldn't have died and my Mubai wouldn't have lost his mother so early, and he wouldn't have been kidnapped and disappeared at such a young age. You should apologize to these two people!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I will go to Bai Yalan's house to confess what I have done so far. As for what I have done, I will also talk to Mu Bai about it. I will confess everything to her when I go back. I will also compensate Mu Bai in the future. Don't worry, An."
"You should confess to Yalan. As for Mu Bai, forget it. She is pregnant now and I am afraid she will not be able to bear it after knowing the truth. What if it affects the baby in her belly? Instead of that, it is better to let her misunderstand that her mother died of excessive depression. We should not involve the grudges of the previous life on the next generation. Mu Bai and Jing Lan should not bear the things that happened to us."
"You should treat Mu Bai the same way you treated her before. This is between you and me. I don't want Mu Bai to be involved. Just be the uncle who cares about her in front of her. Our family is small to begin with. I don't want the things between you, Ya Lan and me to affect this precarious relationship."
"Okay, it's great that you think so. I will repent for what I have done. Where do you place Yalan's tablet? I will go to her grave and repent in person wherever her tombstone is buried."
"No need. Yalan probably doesn't want to see you repenting in front of her tombstone. If you really feel bad, go to the ancestral hall in the old house and repent by yourself."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. What will you do after I go to confess? Can we go back to our previous relationship?"
"What do you think? You should know how I feel about Yalan. You should also have seen how much I miss her over the years. How do you want me to treat a murderer who hurt my beloved?"
Hearing Jiang An say this, Jiang Ping felt gloomy.
"I understand, An. I don't ask for your forgiveness. I deserve all of this. I know that when I did those things, I should have expected this ending. But I am your brother and this cannot be changed. I hope you can remember that you can come to me if you have any problems in the future. I will definitely help you unconditionally. Just consider it as compensation for you."
"I don't need you to do this. I've already understood everything. I'm leaving now."
"An! Wait...An!"
But no matter how Jiang Ping called out, Jiang An never looked back at him.
Jiang An understood everything clearly. Nothing could make Jiang An more heartbroken than knowing the truth. There were so many chances to save Bai Yalan's life, but Jiang Ping didn't seize them. How could Jiang An not feel pain in his heart due to such a fact?
Jiang An felt very regretful that he and Bai Yalan loved each other so much but in the end they couldn't be together and were even separated by death. Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan were two living examples of this.
Although Jiang An had experienced the pain of separation from his lover, he would not make corresponding compromises if this matter was related to Jiang Mubai.
He had finally found Jiang Mubai. If Cheng Yunchuan was not strong enough, he was not worthy of taking Jiang Mubai away from him. In this case, Jiang An was not confident that Cheng Yunchuan was capable of protecting Jiang Mubai under his current conditions.
Although Jiang An knew that Jiang Mubai's love for Cheng Yunchuan was as deep as his love for Bai Yalan.
