The poor husband I picked up turned out to be from a wealthy family

Chapter 990 My Family Killed My Family

Yan Jiangshan stood up.

"Xiao Bei, what nonsense are you talking about? How could your grandfather possibly kill your mother?"

"Don't think I don't know. I didn't know before, but I know now. My grandfather hired someone to run over and kill my mother. You know that, right?"

"How should I know? Who told you that?"

"I have already met the person who hit my mother with his car."

Yan Jiangshan was stunned for a moment.

How did you find him?

“This has nothing to do with you. You knew it was my grandfather who did it, so why didn’t you tell me? For all these years, I always thought it was my mother who died in an accident. I never imagined that it was my own family member who harmed my own family member. How can I let this go?” Yan Bei said.

"Xiao Bei, let's not talk about this anymore. Your grandfather has passed away. He must have been confused for a moment."

"Was he just confused for a moment? My mother married you, why didn't you protect her?" Yan Bei questioned Yan Jiangshan.

Yan Jiangshan said, "Xiao Bei, I only found out later. If I had known your grandfather was going to do this, I definitely would have stopped him. I know I've wronged your mother, but she's gone, what can I do?"

"You knew about this, so why didn't you tell me?"

“Xiao Bei, how can I tell you this? Will it make you even more heartbroken? Will it make you hate your grandfather? Your grandfather loves you very much. You are his only grandson.”

"Yes, I'm his only grandson. My mother gave birth to me, and she gave birth to his only grandson. Why did he treat my mother like this?" As he spoke, tears streamed down Yan Bei's face. He had never cried like this before; now he was like a child who missed his mother terribly.

"Xiao Bei, let me explain."

"What else is there to explain? You didn't protect my mother. You made me lose my mother at a young age. Do you know how I grew up? Fine, I grew up alone, without a mother's love, let alone a father's love."

“Xiao Bei, this is my fault. I even had a big argument with your grandfather about it.”

"What's the use? Will my mother ever come back? Besides, if you don't let my mother go to Liu Shaohua to ask for money, how can he drive out by himself?"

Yan Jiangshan lowered his eyes. "It's my fault, it's all my fault. I'm sorry to you, and I'm sorry to your mother."

"It's too late to say anything now."

Yan Bei pursed his lips, then turned and walked out of the study.

Seeing this, Yang Juan in the living room quickly asked, "Xiao Bei, what exactly happened?"

"Ask my dad!" Yan Bei said before leaving.

Yang Juan hurriedly went into the study.

"Jiangshan, what's wrong? Xiaobei seems very unhappy. Did you two have a fight?"

"Sigh!" Yan Jiangshan sighed, "Things from many years ago have been brought up again. I'm the one who wronged him!"

Yang Juan lowered her eyes slightly. "Jiang Shan, let me help you back to your room to rest first!"

Yan Jiangshan nodded.

……

Return to the room.

Yan Jiangshan picked up the phone and dialed Chen Jianguo's number.

"Hey, brother-in-law, why did you have to call me?"

"Stop talking nonsense. I have a question for you."

"Brother-in-law, why are you so serious?"

"Was it you who told Yan Bei how your sister died?"

"Brother-in-law, please don't wrong me. I've never mentioned this to Xiao Bei," Chen Jianguo said on the phone.

"How did Xiao Bei find out?"

"How would Xiao Bei know? I hadn't told him."

"It really wasn't you?" Yan Jiangshan asked.

"It's definitely not me. If I wanted to say it, I would have said it already."

"Alright! I'm hanging up now!" Yan Jiangshan said, and then hung up the phone.

Yan Jiangshan frowned deeply. "How did Yan Bei find out about this?"

At this moment, Yang Juan walked in.

"Jiangshan, what exactly happened?"

Yan Jiangshan curled the corners of his lips and said, "It's a long story. Xiao Bei's mother was killed by someone his grandfather hired."

Yang Juan looked surprised. "Really?"

"Mmm." Yan Jiangshan nodded. "I didn't know about this either; I only found out later. If I had known, how could I have let my dad do such a thing? Back then, my dad thought Yan Bei's maternal grandmother's family was poor and wanted me to divorce Yan Bei's mother, but he didn't really intend to divorce her. Who would have thought my dad would do something like this? At first, I couldn't believe it. My dad killed my wife. I haven't been able to get over this for a long time. What am I going to do?"

Yang Juan held Yan Jiangshan's hand, "Don't be sad, your health is important."

"Sigh! I'm so sorry to Xiaobei. I've never let him know the truth about this. But today he suddenly asked me about it, which caught me off guard. I know he hates me now. But I don't know how to explain it to him."

"Jiangshan, don't be so anxious right now. Take it slow. I'll talk to Xiaobei about it later. I believe he'll forgive you. He's still angry right now, so let's not talk about it for now."

"Hmm." Yan Jiangshan curled the corners of his mouth. "The key is that only Xiao Bei's uncle and I know about this. I just called his uncle, and his uncle said he didn't tell Xiao Bei. I don't know how he found out about it."

"If you didn't say it, and his uncle didn't say it, then it must have been someone else who said it."

"Others?" Yan Jiangshan asked, puzzled. "Who could it be?"

"Think about it again."

Yan Jiangshan thought for a moment and then suddenly said, "Liu Shaohua! He probably knows about this. I didn't say anything, Yan Bei's uncle didn't say anything, so it was Liu Shaohua who said it? But how could Xiao Bei meet Liu Shaohua! Xiao Bei has always resented Liu Shaohua. Even though he didn't know the truth, he always thought that Liu Shaohua was the one who harmed his mother."

Yang Juan said, "Maybe there are other people who know about this."

Yan Jiangshan shook his head. "There's also the person who committed the crime while driving, but my dad gave that person some money back then, so he probably won't show up again. I also heard that he's no longer in Kyoto and has gone to another city. The chances of Xiao Bei seeing him are very slim."

"Who could it be?" Yang Juan asked.

Yan Jiangshan paused for a moment, then said, "It seems that Liu Shaohua is the only possibility. Get the car ready now; I'm going to see Liu Shaohua."

"Okay, I'll call your driver right now."

"Uh-huh!"

……

Yan Bei had already returned to the company by this time.

Yan Bei sat alone at his large desk, a freshly lit cigarette between his fingers. He didn't smoke it, but let the crimson flame flicker in the dim light, mirroring his gloomy mood.

A faint smell of tobacco filled the air, but it couldn't dispel the chill and anger that threatened to drown him.

This truth, like a poisoned ice pick, pierced through the hard shell he had built with indifference and power.
