Chapter 1158: Chapter 1157: Secret Chapter 1158: Chapter 1157: Secret Wei Qin was not inherently unfeeling, but the years of illness and the invisible wounds Tang Qian had inflicted on his heart had worn away his emotions long ago.

He only had one friend, Huo Bei Jiang.

And his only family was Wei Fangyi and, of course, his brother, Jiang Yang.

Regarding his younger brother, who had gone missing from a young age, he could provide all of the best material resources but emotionally, he could only be the same as Wei An.

Indeed, by this point, Wei Qin was sure he had come to the right place. After over two months and considerable investment of manpower and financial resources, he had finally succeeded.

He was very grateful that he had made this trip personally, because otherwise, Little Wang and the others would have surely been taken in by trickery.

“What did you say? What did you say?” Before the others could react, Guan Rufang interjected, turning directly to Zhang Fengmei, “Feng Mei, tell me, what does he mean?”

With her secret exposed, Zhang Fengmei felt extremely guilty, and now in front of her mother-in-law, she dared not say anything. She could only turn her head away, sinking into silence.

In the end, it was Jiang Dechun who held his ground. He pulled out a packet of cheap Red Plum Cigarettes and tried to light one. Suddenly realizing that the handsome, noble-looking man before him seemed to be in poor health, he put the cigarette back again.

“Ah…” Jiang Dechun sighed deeply, “So many years have passed; I never thought someone would still come looking. Even I had forgotten.” He had long forgotten that he had picked up Jiang Yang from beneath a large bridge.

In his heart, Jiang Yang was his own son, even if he had been called a fool as a child, even if he had always been a burden to the whole family. He still cherished him as his most precious son.

Now suddenly reminded of it, Jiang Dechun thought of when he had found Jiang Yang. He was barely alive, his skin frozen purple, seemingly on the brink of death.

He had rushed him to the hospital, where the doctors had said there was no hope, yet unexpectedly, he had ultimately pulled through. At that time, he and Feng Mei were overjoyed, especially since Feng Mei had just lost a child and thereafter couldn’t have any more; she had been greatly stricken.

Over a decade ago, rural society was extremely conservative; if a family had no sons, they were looked down upon. They suffered the contempt of the entire village; people would even speak harshly, saying it was because of immoral actions that they couldn’t have sons.

As a daughter-in-law, Feng Mei faced the greatest pressure.

At their wits’ end, they had been lucky to find Jiang Yang, how could they not be happy? Even if it meant spending the last of their money to save him, they were happy.

“I am very grateful to you for saving my brother,” Wei Qin was a man of clear grudges and gratitude; he felt sincerely thankful towards the people before him.

“Ah!” Jiang Dechun sighed heavily several times, then looking guiltily at Guan Rufang, he said, “Mom, I’m sorry for being an unfilial son who couldn’t give you a grandson.”

Guan Rufang was caught off guard, still confused, “No way, do you mean Jiang Yang isn’t my grandson? How could he not be my grandson? You must be mistaken! Didn’t Feng Mei flee to avoid the family planning policies when she was already showing?”

Wei Qin’s eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, and he incredulously widened his eyes, quickly turning to Little Wang.

Little Wang was also stunned, staring blankly at Wei Qin, trying to prove that he hadn’t just heard wrongly.
