The Long-awaited Mr Han

“I will go down to confront her. I can’t let her go on talking like this downstairs,” Jiang Yujie said. “She’s just a rogue shrew! She doesn’t need to work anyway. Believe me, if I don’t go down, she can go on for the whole day downstairs!”

“Don’t go downstairs. She won’t let you off,” Mrs. Jiang persuaded. “Let’s just close the door and ignore her! Today, tomorrow, as long as she comes, we will stay at home and not go out! Even if she comes and knocks on our door, we also won’t open the door. Anyway, we have everything at home, we won’t be affected even if we don’t go out.”

“You also know to not let her keep going on like this. You also know to care about your reputation?” Mr. Jiang pointed at Jiang Yujie and said, “Then why did you have to do this!”

“You just don’t believe in me,” Jiang Yujie said plainly. “Just like how you didn’t believe in elder brother back then..”

“You…” Mr. Jiang’s finger trembled as he pointed at Jiang Yujie. “You still say you don’t blame me deep down?

“You think I didn’t feel terrible when your elder brother went to jail back then? It’s just because we are people in the lowest social status and are powerless!” Mr. Jiang said in agony. “That is also my son. He had been brilliant in his studies since he was young, and he was so outstanding! Won’t I feel sad?”

“Feeling sad is one thing. I’m saying that you just don’t believe that elder brother had been wronged,” Jiang Yujie said.

“How can I believe him? The evidence is all there!” Mr. Jiang said.

“We are your children, you watched us grow up. You should trust our character. Even if we don’t say anything, you should still trust us. What we need is not just for you to find a lawyer, go bankrupt, or any such material support. What we value even more is your trust in us.”

Jiang Yujie took a deep breath and said, “The kind of trust where no matter what outsiders say, you both will still trust us. You are the people closest to us. You both also understand us more than those outsiders. You both are the people who understand us best in this world.

“But you both don’t believe in us,” Jiang Yujie said. “Even if the whole world doesn’t believe us, you both have to!

“Elder brother is in jail. He doesn’t think about anything else except the fact that you both don’t believe him. In your eyes, he is actually a person who would accept bribes.” Jiang Yujie sniffled and said, “Don’t talk to me about evidence.

“Even if the evidence is right before my eyes, as long as my elder brother denies it, I will believe him.”

Mr. Jiang looked at Jiang Yujie deeply and said, “So, you are telling me now that even if that woman has come here to make a ruckus downstairs, we still have to believe you?”

Jiang Yujie did not say anything.

“So this time, you were wronged?” Mr. Jiang asked again.

Jiang Yujie shook her head and said, “How can that be? It’s true, I did become her husband’s lover. But I have my reasons. It’s not related to all those reasons you are thinking of, or what everyone else is thinking of.

“I didn’t do it for money, or for all the benefits that everyone else thinks I did it for.”

“Then what is it for? Tell us!” Mrs. Jiang said anxiously.

Jiang Yujie did not say a word.

Mr. Jiang said angrily, “You keep telling us to trust you, but you just refuse to tell us the reason. How are we supposed to trust you! Have you ever spared a thought for us!”

Jiang Yujie laughed mockingly. Xia Qingyang’s scoldings rang out by her ears once again.

Jiang Yujie’s expression turned cold and she suddenly turned around.

Before Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang could stop her, she had already left.

Mrs. Jiang quickly said, “Quick! Quick, follow her! She will suffer if she does this. That woman, I can tell she’s a shrew with one look. She won’t just quarrel with Yujie.”
