Chapter 1309 The only dowry

For several days, Jiang Wanfeng and Mrs. Jiang were busy working on Jiang Qiushan's case, waiting for the results of the police investigation.

Even though Jiang Qiushan had told the police the truth, because Lin Wanran was very cautious, the police found no evidence, and the man who provided Jiang Qiushan with the drugs insisted that he did not know Lin Wanran, so the investigation results were not favorable to Jiang Qiushan at all.

In just a few days, Jiang Wanfeng's hair grew white on his temples, his temperament became decadent, his back was rickety, and he looked much older.

When Jiang Mengyun came home from get off work and saw Jiang Wanfeng, she felt enlightened for a moment.

After a while, his eyes regained their composure and looked at him coldly.

"What's up?"

When Jiang Wanfeng saw that she was back, he quickly put out his cigarette and waved his hand randomly in the air to disperse the smell of smoke around him.

"Mengyun, dad... I want to ask you something."

Jiang Mengyun sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

"I didn't expect that my father, who used to be indifferent to me, would now use the word beg."

Jiang Wanfeng lowered his head with a sly expression. Hearing her sarcastic words, he was speechless for a moment.

Jiang Mengyun glanced at him coldly, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Jiang Wanfeng rubbed the hem of his clothes, considered it for a moment, and then spoke.

"The reason why Shanshan did those things was because she was instructed by Lin Wanran, but now the police can't find any evidence. Can you lend me some money? I want to help her find a better lawyer."

Jiang Mengyun sneered.

"It's already this time, why are your ears still so soft? Why do Lin Wanran and I have such a deep grudge that they want to drug me and accuse me of seducing my brother-in-law? It's only been a few days since this incident, and Jiang Qiushan wants to push it away.

Clean?"

"I know Shanshan did something wrong, and I don't deny that she wanted to frame you.

But she really did not deal in illegal drugs. Those drugs were provided to her by Lin Wanran. Mengyun, the Jiang family is yours now. Even if Shanshan is released, it will not pose any threat to you. Just help.

Help her."

"Now that she has done it, she must bear the consequences, and she should pay the price for her stupidity."

Jiang Mengyun walked around Jiang Wanfeng to open the door. As soon as the door opened a crack, Jiang Wanfeng grabbed the door handle tightly.

"Mengyun, I know you and Ning Yuxi have negotiated a deal. Have you ever thought that if you send Lin Wanran in this time, Ning Yuxi will trust you more."

Jiang Mengyun's expression paused, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

Seeing her wavering, Jiang Wanfeng continued:

"Lin Wanran and Ning Yuxi are incompatible. If you can take this opportunity to help Ning Yuxi deal with Lin Wanran, Ning Yuxi will definitely think more highly of you."

Jiang Mengyun lowered her head, and Jiang Wanfeng couldn't see what she was thinking.

After a moment, she suddenly raised her head and looked at him with an expressionless face.

"Okay, I'll hire a lawyer for her. If she's lucky and can come out this time, I hope she and Mrs. Jiang can get as far away as possible."

Jiang Wanfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile finally appeared on his old face.

"Okay... okay... as long as you are willing to help her, then you should go to bed early and I will leave first."

Jiang Mengyun opened the door to her home. She didn't know what she thought of, but she paused as she stepped in the door.

"dad……"

The long-lost call made Jiang Wanfeng's back stiffen, as if a thousand pieces of gold were tied to his feet, and he could no longer move forward.

Only Jiang Mengyun's voice continued to come from behind.

"Do you remember this house? You bought it for your mother back then."

Jiang Wanfeng turned around tremblingly and saw that the decoration and furnishings in the room had hardly changed. He couldn't help but think of everything he and Jiang Mengyun's mother had in this house more than 20 years ago.

Only then did he realize that Jiang Mengyun's mother's tenderness towards him was hidden in every detail. It was silent and hard to detect, but it moisturized things silently.

Mrs. Jiang was just the opposite. He knew all her tenderness, but now that he thought about it, those tendernesses were too deliberate, more like she was doing it to show him.

But he was so indulged in such false tenderness that he couldn't extricate himself, ignoring the tenderness hidden in every word and deed.

Endless guilt welled up in my heart, as if it wanted to devour Jiang Wanfeng, but was pulled out by Jiang Mengyun's cold voice.

"But later in my mother's diary, she said that this house might be my only dowry.

How well do you think Mom knows you to be able to guess all this?"

The sarcasm in Jiang Mengyun's eyes was like silver needles inserted into Jiang Wanfeng's heart.

Seeing the door being closed, Jiang Wanfeng's heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly by a big hand, and the pain was unbearable.

At this moment, he suddenly realized how many wrong things he had done.

It's just that everything is too late...

After returning home, Jiang Mengyun immediately took a shower, then dialed Ning Yuxi's number and told her about Jiang Wanfeng's visit to her just now.

Ning Yuxi listened quietly as she recited the conversation between her and her father word for word, and smiled with her lips pulled back.

"You don't need me to give you advice now. You can decide what you want to do yourself. You don't need to report everything to me in detail."

Jiang Mengyun was stunned for a moment, then shyly scratched her hair.

"I am used to it."

It seems that her heart has become accustomed to relying on Yuxi. No matter what happens, she wants to tell her and listen to her opinion.

"But I think Jiang Wanfeng is right. If I can help you deal with Lin Wanran this time, it will be considered as my thanks to you."

Ning Yuxi chuckled, "Since the police can't find any evidence, even if you hire a lawyer for Jiang Qiushan, it won't help.

But since your father has come to beg you in person, he will naturally hire a lawyer, but the result may be disappointing to them."

Jiang Mengyun did not hear the connotation in her last sentence, nor did she see the coldness flashing in Ning Yuxi's starry eyes.

According to Ning Yuxi, she still hired a lawyer for Jiang Qiushan.

However, the result was just as Ning Yuxi had guessed, there was still no evidence that Lin Wanran was buying or selling illegal drugs.

A few days later, a thorough investigation of Jiang Qiushan's case was completed and Jiang Qiushan was formally arrested.

After receiving this news, Lin Wanran's heart finally dropped, and the tension and uneasiness on her face were completely replaced by a relaxed smile.

She walked out of the room and her footsteps downstairs became much more brisk.

Seeing Jiang Xinlan in the living room, Lin Wanran quickly walked to her and sat down, holding her arm affectionately.

"Mom, the weather is nice today. Why don't we go shopping in the afternoon and take a spa break? Jiang Qiushan has been officially arrested. I can finally have a good sleep."

"You said Jiang Qiushan was arrested?"

A look of gloating appeared on Jiang Xinlan's face, she looked at Lin Wanran and nodded, snorting coldly.

"Hmph! You deserve it!"

The Jiang family is in despair, yet they dare to come to their house to cause trouble. This is retribution!
