Chapter 257 Jiang Nian, the illegitimate daughter of the Jiang family
After watching Lin Wanwan enter the Jiang family, Huo Jingchen got back into the Maybach and asked the driver to drive back to the Seaview Bay Villa.
Huo Jingchen sat in the back seat of the Maybach, took out his cell phone, and couldn't help but call Song Zekai.
"Master Huo, what's wrong?"
"Zekai, Wanwan still can't remember. I suspect that Ye Sinian did something to her that caused her to forget me and everything in Kyoto."
Hearing what Huo Jingchen said, Song Zekai was very shocked on the phone, "Sister-in-law hasn't recovered her memory yet? It's been three years. What on earth did this damn Ye Sinian do to my sister-in-law?"
"I want to ask you for a favor." Huo Jingchen was silent for a moment and spoke slowly.
"Brother Huo, we are almost a family, so let's not say such polite words. If you need my help, just ask, I will definitely do my best."
"Help me find the best brain specialist in the country. I want to help Wanwan see if she has been stimulated by something and has lost her memory."
Song Zekai immediately responded, "Master Huo, don't worry, I will make arrangements right away and find the best brain expert to take a good look at my sister-in-law. However, this matter must be done quietly. We must not let Ye Sinian and the others notice our actions, otherwise I'm afraid there will be complications again."
Huo Jingchen frowned slightly. "Well, you're right. We need to be cautious in everything we do. Wanwan is very wary of me now. I'm afraid if I rashly bring an expert over, she'll be even more resistant. We need to think of a comprehensive solution."
After thinking for a moment, Song Zekai said, "Okay, then I'll go find a brain specialist first."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Jingchen called Jiang Lei again.
Jiang family villa.
"Nian Nian, where did you go today?"
Seeing Jiang Lei sitting on the sofa, looking at her seriously, Lin Wanwan felt a little guilty for some reason. She quickly said, "Let's go out for a walk."
"Did you go to see that Huo Jingchen?"
Lin Wanwan was shocked, but she pretended to be calm, "Dad, what are you talking about? I was just going out for a stroll, why would I go to see him?"
Jiang Lei frowned even more tightly, with suspicion in his eyes, "Niannian, don't lie to me. Huo Jingchen is a man of deep thoughts. We can't afford to provoke him. You'd better stay away from him."
Lin Wanwan felt a little unhappy and couldn't help pouting: "Dad, I'm not a child anymore. I know what to do. Don't worry about it."
Jiang Lei stood up and walked up to Lin Wanwan. "Niannian, I'm doing this for your own good. There are some things you don't understand. It's not good to get involved with him. Just stay at home and don't go out again."
Hearing this, Lin Wanwan opened her mouth and was about to say: "Dad..."
Just then, Jiang Lei's cell phone rang.
Jiang Lei frowned, took out his cell phone and looked at the caller ID, his expression changed slightly, he turned around and walked a few steps to the side before answering the call.
"Hey……"
Huo Jingchen's cold voice came from the phone, "Mr. Jiang, I'm Huo Jingchen. Let's find a chance to meet!"
Jiang Lei glanced at Lin Wanwan beside him and said, "Niannian, Dad is going out to answer a phone call."
Although Lin Wanwan looked puzzled, she still nodded and said, "Okay."
Jiang Lei's face suddenly turned gloomy. He lowered his voice and responded with a bit of vigilance: "Mr. Huo, I don't think there is anything for us to meet. You and I should not have any intersection. It's best not to disturb each other in the future."
Huo Jingchen sneered on the other end of the phone, "Boss Jiang, I'm afraid you can't refuse. There are some things we have to talk about face to face. For example, the matter of my wife Lin Wanwan, do you think you can keep it a secret forever?"
Jiang Lei's eyes shone, and he looked at Lin Wanwan who was listening attentively, then walked a few steps away, "Huo Jingchen, I don't know what you are talking about. Nian Nian is my daughter Jiang Nian, don't make trouble here."
Huo Jingchen's tone became colder and harder. "Boss Jiang, you know very well that you and Ye Sinian have been lying to her. I came to you today just to know the truth. What did you do to her?"
Jiang Lei gritted his teeth and said, "Humph, Mr. Huo, your wife Lin Wanwan is dead. The one standing in front of you now is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. I advise you to stop interfering in our family's affairs."
After saying that, Jiang Lei wanted to hang up the phone directly, but Huo Jingchen immediately said, "Why are you so opposed to Wanwan being with me? Is it because my father killed the woman you loved the most?"
Jiang Lei held the phone in his hand, and his voice began to tremble when he mentioned the woman he loved most. "Shut up! None of you in the Huo family are qualified to mention Wei Wei."
"Boss Jiang, even if you hate our Huo family, there should be a cause and effect, right? What is the grudge between my father and the Jiang and Ye families?"
"Young man, I understand. You are trying to get information from me, right? I tell you, if you want to know, just go and check it out yourself. I will never allow my daughter to be with the son of the person who killed her mother."
After saying that, Jiang Lei hung up the phone.
Huo Jingchen stared at the screen that had been hung up, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
It seems that his father does have a deep connection with the Jiang family and the Ye family.
He had never heard his father mention these grudges. He was only thirteen years old when his father died.
He had never heard his grandfather and mother mention it, and only knew that his father died in a car accident.
Huo Jingchen frowned, his heart full of doubts and unwillingness. He knew that in order to figure out all this and untie the knot in Lin Wanwan's heart, he had to get to the bottom of all the past grievances. He rubbed his temples, secretly thinking about where to start to explore the dusty truth.
On the other side, after Jiang Lei hung up the phone, his face was still gloomy. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but when he thought of the things Huo Jingchen mentioned, the anger in his heart began to surge again.
Lin Wanwan looked at Jiang Lei and couldn't help but walked up to him and asked, "Dad, who is it? Why do you seem to be in a bad mood?"
Jiang Lei forced a smile and said, "It's okay, Nian Nian, it's just some business matters, don't worry about it, go back to your room and rest."
Although Lin Wanwan felt something was wrong, she didn't dare to ask any more questions and had to turn around and walk upstairs. However, she became more and more curious about these strange situations that happened one after another.
Soon, it was the day of Jiang Lei’s birthday party.
The Jiang family contracted the largest hotel in Haicheng and held a grand birthday banquet. At the same time, Jiang Lei will officially announce Lin Wanwan's identity to the public.
At this time, the banquet hall was crowded with guests and bustling with activity. The dazzling crystal chandeliers cast soft light, illuminating the entire hall with golden splendor.
Celebrities from all walks of life came with gifts to congratulate, and the atmosphere was filled with laughter, greetings and pleasantries.
Lin Wanwan, wearing an exquisite white dress, stood elegantly in the corner, looking at the lively yet somewhat unfamiliar scene in front of her.
There was a hint of uneasiness in his heart. Jiang Lei, with a smile on his face, shuttled between the guests, busy entertaining them, but occasionally his eyes glanced at Lin Wanwan, and the smile was hidden a little.
Just then, Ye Sinian, wearing a well-fitting suit, followed by his assistant, brought birthday gifts.
"Uncle Jiang..." Ye Sinian smiled and waved at Jiang Lei, and the two of them greeted each other.
"Si Nian, why did you come back so soon? Shouldn't you be..." Having said this, Lin Wanwan realized that what she said was inappropriate and quickly fell silent.
"Wanwan wants to ask, how did I get out of the detention center so quickly?" Ye Sinian said with a half-smile.
Lin Wanwan's expression changed slightly, and she turned her head away awkwardly, "Si Nian, don't talk nonsense, I didn't mean that."
Ye Sinian smiled indifferently, walked to her side, leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Nian Nian, this is all thanks to my father-in-law."
Hearing this, Lin Wanwan was slightly surprised, "My dad bailed you out?"
Ye Sinian nodded. "The police had no actual evidence, and my father and father-in-law guaranteed me, so they had no choice but to let me go."
Lin Wanwan nodded slightly, "I see."
Ye Sinian handed the prepared birthday gift to Jiang Lei.
"Happy birthday, Uncle Jiang. May you live a long and healthy life."
Jiang Lei took the gift with a smile and patted Ye Sinian on the shoulder, "Sinian, that's thoughtful. You are a sensible child." As he said that, he handed the gift to the waiter beside him to put it away.
At this time, the music in the banquet hall gradually became quieter. Everyone knew that the important part was about to begin, and their eyes turned to the stage.
Jiang Lei cleared his throat, walked onto the stage, stood in front of the microphone, and with a gentle yet solemn smile on his face, he waved to the audience, signaling for silence.
"Dear relatives and friends, thank you for coming to my birthday party today. I, Jiang Lei, would like to thank you all." Jiang Lei's voice spread throughout the banquet hall through the microphone, and applause and response immediately rang out from the audience.
Jiang Lei continued, "Today, in addition to my birthday party, I have something important to announce to everyone."
As he spoke, he waved to Lin Wanwan who was sitting in the corner of the stage, "Nian Nian, come here, Daddy."
Lin Wanwan's heart tightened, and after a moment's hesitation, she lifted her skirt and slowly walked onto the stage. She stood next to Jiang Lei, looking at the many eyes from the audience, and felt more and more uncomfortable, her hands unconsciously clenching the hem of her skirt.
Jiang Lei looked at Lin Wanwan with loving eyes. He turned to the audience again and said loudly, "Everyone, this is my daughter Jiang Nian. For some reasons, her identity has not been officially announced to the public. Today, I would like to take this opportunity to let everyone get to know her."
There was a sudden buzz of discussion from the audience, and everyone looked at Lin Wanwan curiously.
"I heard that the Jiang family has an illegitimate daughter abroad, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"Isn't it said that Mr. Jiang has a white moonlight? He has never married in his life, it seems that he is waiting for this white moonlight."
"Then this Miss Jiang Nian, could she be the daughter of him and his Bai Yueguang?"
"Who would have known! A man as self-disciplined as Mr. Jiang could actually stay single at the age of 50, and a daughter suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It's really too dramatic."
Lin Wanwan felt uncomfortable being stared at by everyone with such direct gazes, and a blush of embarrassment appeared on her face.
She lowered her head slightly, trying to avoid those inquiring or curious gazes.
