Oh my god! My secret husband is a billionaire

Chapter 162 The past

After Russell calmed down a little, he glanced at the curtains in panic and asked tentatively.

"You asked him to come here, are you in love with him?"

"And then let him help you file for divorce, and then you marry him?"

Qin Ming, who was hiding behind the curtains, pricked up his ears to eavesdrop, even holding his breath in his chest, not daring to breathe out.

"Mom, I want a divorce, but this has nothing to do with Tang Yue."

Qin Ming's heart stopped beating instantly when he heard the word "divorce". His entire head was as dark as his eyes. If it weren't for Russell's objection that brought his thoughts back to reality, he would have suffocated himself to the point of suffocation.

"Divorce? I don't agree."

"If you get divorced, what will happen to the child in your belly? Are you going to find a stepfather for him before he's even born? Can the stepfather have a biological father?"

Jiang Li had long forgotten the baby in her belly, but Russell remembered it very well.

"Mom, there's no child. That child doesn't exist, so don't worry about it."

"What, you aborted the child?" Russell rolled his eyes, leaned on the sofa with a pale face, and gasped for breath.

Ever since a series of accidents happened at home, she started to have heart problems and could no longer withstand any stimulation.

Seeing this, Jiang Li could only continue to lie. "No, no. The baby is still in my belly, and it's fine. When the baby is born, you will be a grandmother."

Russell looked at her flat belly and didn't believe it at all. "Zhuzhu, you didn't lie to me? Are you really pregnant?"

Jiang Li was speechless, but could only continue to lie seriously. "Yes, yes. It's less than two months old now, so you can't tell. Next time, I'll bring you the ultrasound report."

Behind the curtains, Qin Ming couldn't help but look forward to it. What a wonderful thing it would be if his wife had a little Mingming in her belly.

Russell took another peek at the curtain, then tried to persuade Jiang Li earnestly.

"Zhuzhu, for the sake of the children, I advise you not to divorce. There are always quarrels between husband and wife, and every family fights at the beginning and makes up at the end. Besides, your husband isn't completely useless. At least, he's quite good-looking, tall and handsome. As long as he has you in his heart and repents of his mistakes, why don't you give him another chance?"

Jiang Li didn't know Qin Ming was at home, and thought his mother had learned about this series of news from the Internet. He gave a perfunctory answer.

"Okay, Mom, I got it. I'll see to it."

"I didn't come back today to talk to you about divorce. I have something important to ask you about the death of my father and brother."

When she mentioned her deceased husband and son again, Russell's pale face showed a trace of mournful sadness again.

She tried hard to control the sobs in her chest and prevent her tears from falling. She sat on the sofa pretending to be calm and poured two glasses of water for Jiang Li and Tang Yue.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Tang Yue picked up the water glass, thanked him politely, and after taking two sips, he spoke slowly.

"Aunt Su, do you know someone named Feng Zian?"

Russell hadn't seen this person for more than ten years. It took him a long time to dig out those distant memories from the depths of his mind.

"remember."

"He was a classmate of your uncle's. He was a very good student. He pursued me for a while in high school, but I didn't agree. Later, I heard that he didn't go to college and went to Guangcheng alone to make a living. He is doing quite well."

"Later, when I was a junior in college, he showed up again. Every day, he would wait for me at the school gate with roses in his arms. He sent me flowers for a whole year, 365 days a year without fail. I was quite touched at the time."

"Later, when graduation was approaching, he drove a red car to your grandmother's house and proposed to me. Your grandmother didn't agree, saying she would make plans after I graduated."

"But on the day of the graduation party, I met your father, Jiang Hengyan. He was as tall as a pine tree, with an elegant demeanor and eyes as bright as the moon and stars. He captivated me instantly. The moment I saw him, it was as if I had seen the embodiment of love."

"I didn't expect that after my performance, he would give me a painting. And the dancing girl in the painting was me. So, we quickly established a relationship, and then it was natural for us to get married and give birth to your brother and you."

"It happened so long ago, why are you still bringing up those irrelevant people?"

When Russell mentioned Feng Zian, her face was calm, but when she recalled Jiang Hengyan, the stars in her eyes suddenly lit up, and those warm scenes, like a dream, emerged in her mind.

Tang Yue looked at Jiang Li and only dared to continue speaking after getting her permission.

"Aunt Su, I think there's something wrong with Feng Zian. Before, I investigated him for several years, but I couldn't figure out what the problem was. Now that you've said this, I think I've found some clues."

Russell stared at Tang Yue, waiting for his next words. "What's the problem?"

"After Uncle Jiang left, I secretly investigated his company and the businesses under his name. Almost all of them fell into Feng Zian's hands. Although Feng Zian didn't acquire them personally, he was the man behind the scenes."

"And those who lured Uncle Jiang into gambling are more or less related to Feng Zian."

Russell's thoughts hadn't caught up with Tang Yue's analysis. "Are you saying that Feng Zian framed our Jiang family?"

Tang Yue nodded affirmatively, "Based on the clues I found, it is indeed the case."

Russell looked at his daughter in surprise. "Zhuzhu, do you think so too?"

The hatred in Jiang Li's eyes was like a burning firework.

"Yes. I believe it. Dad did have a lot of gambling debts back then, but even if his company was acquired, it wouldn't have accrued so much debt that we had to sell our house and car. There was definitely something shady going on, but I was young back then, and you didn't understand anything, so I got scammed."

"Tang Yue said there's probably something wrong with that acquisition contract. Mom, do you still have the original copy? Show it to him."

Russell covered his face in sorrow, blaming himself for his own ignorance. "It's all Mom's fault for being incompetent. I couldn't keep the inheritance your father left behind."

"The acquisition document was lost during the move. I looked for it later but couldn't find it."

Seeing Russell's face turn pale again, Jiang Li hugged her to comfort her.

"Mom, it's okay. The documents are lost, so it's no big deal. I can earn back those things I own."

"Look, I won't faint even if I see Tang Yue now. So, we should be strong, face the problem bravely, and find a way to take back what belongs to us one by one. Only then can we be worthy of Dad, don't you think?"

After hearing what his daughter said, Russell's emotions calmed down a little, but the tears in his eyes could not stop flowing.

"It's all my fault. I'm so incompetent that I made you suffer for so many years."

Russell is just a dancer and actress. Her expertise and abilities are all on the stage. How could she understand the intrigues in business?

At that time, she was so heartbroken that she lived in a daze every day. The debt collectors forced her to sign the acquisition documents, saying that after signing, she would not have to bear any legal responsibility by using the company to pay off the debt. She took a quick look at it, felt that there was no problem, and signed it.

Who knew that the entire company would be swallowed up by someone.
