Chapter 18 Indirect Injury

"My sister-in-law, do you still remember me?" A slightly amused and impatient voice came from the other end of the phone.

When mother of Jiang heard this voice, she frowned and subconsciously squeezed the phone in her hand. "Why are you calling?"

"Hah hah, it seems that you still remembers me for so many years." Jiang Zhongheng continued to pretend to be indifferent.

Mother of Jiang didn't want to hear anything from this person heartily. She reached out and was about to hang up the phone. Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhongheng seemed to have guessed mother of Jiang's behavior. He chuckled and said, "Hah hah, do you want to know why I'm calling?"

Mother of Jiang paused and thought for a moment before putting the phone in her hand to her ear. "Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Jiang Zhongheng smacked his lips fearlessly and said, "No, no, no. I don't want to do anything. I just want to inform you of something."

"What is it?"

"Hah, I want to tell you that my brother just died." Jiang Zhongheng finally said what he wanted to say.

Jiang Zhongheng's words seemed to strike mother of Jiang hard. She clenched the phone in her hands in disbelief and said sharply to it, "What did you say? Say it again! What happened to Zhongyong?"

"Hah Hah, let me say it again. I mean, my brother, your ex-husband, Jiang Zhongyong just died." Jiang Zhongheng said everything in a cruel tone.

Every word he said just now seemed to be sharp as a knife, which pierced mother of Jiang's heart.

"How could it be? How could Zhongyong? It's impossible. You must be lying to me. You must be!" Mother of Jiang shook her head in disbelief. She would never believe that Jiang Zhongyong would suddenly die. She told herself in her heart that Jiang Zhongheng was making this up.

"Hah, since you don't believe me, then you should ask your good daughter Jiang Jing. She knows too. You can ask her how her father died, Hah hah!"

Enraged by Jiang Zhongheng's laughter, mother of Jiang shouted at the phone, "You have no humanity. Zhongyong is your big brother. How can you say that?"

Jiang Zhongheng stopped laughing, but her tone was still calm. "I have no humanity? Yes, indeed. But what's wrong with it? I have to tell you, do you know why your good daughter, Jiang Jing, was going to take place of her sister Jiang Ru, to marry Fu Jinrong?"

Jiang Zhongheng noticed that mother of Jiang did not ask further and did not care about anything else, he just went on, "Do you know where your daughter Jiang Ru is now?"

"What are you trying to say?" Mother of Jiang didn't know what Jiang Zhongheng was trying to do. She just wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible.

"I want to tell you that your daughter, Jiang Ru, was missing. How could someone who likes Fu Jinrong so much run away from her marriage? She was kidnapped and her whereabouts is still unknown." There was a slight sigh in Jiang Zhongheng's tone, but mother of Jiang knew that his sigh was just disguise, he was like a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"Ruru was missing?" Mother of Jiang could not believe it. She could not imagine that she had received news of her daughter's disappearance and husband's death within five minutes. She felt as if the beam of her heart had collapsed in an instant.

Jiang Zhongheng nodded approvingly at the other end of the phone. "Full marks for understanding, my sister-in-law. I didn't expect you to still have a good understanding of me after so many years."

Mother of Jiang held the table with her hands and tried to keep herself from falling down. She said to Jiang Zhongheng on the phone, "Why are you telling me, what's your purpose?"

"Purpose? No, no, no. My sister-in-law, you misapprehended me. Why would I have a motive? I was just informing you. After all, you used to be my brother's wife and Ruru's mother. Hah hah, although you're not now, this doesn't hinder my respect for you."

Jiang Zhongheng said with a straight face, as if everything he had done was reasonable. He was only doing his duty as a younger brother.

"Are you finished now? Then you can go away. I don't want to hear the sound of you. That makes me sick." Mother of Jiang banged down the phone.

After hanging up the phone, mother of Jiang could no longer hold herself. The moment her hand left the table, she collapsed. She sat on the ground in a daze. She didn't know what she should do now. All she could think about was whether Jiang Zhongheng's words were true or not. Was Jiang Zhongyong really dead?

Although Jiang Zhongheng was a despicable person, and his actions were despicable and vicious, mother of Jiang knew very well that Jiang Zhongheng would not casually say the news of Jiang Zhongyong's death. It seemed that this news was most likely true.

Mother of Jiang's heart seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss, and there emitting a cold feeling from her bones.

She finally took off her sharp armor and sat on the ground like a helpless baby, crying loudly.

After crying for a while, she picked up the phone again and dialed a familiar number. This was the call that Jiang Jing received from her mother in the car.

Mother of Jiang wanted her daughter to tell her whether Jiang Zhongyong was dead or not.

Jiang Zhongheng, who had accompanied old master Jiang back to the old residence of the Jiang family, hurriedly got into his car after settling everything with Jiang Jingrun. Just now, a dark thought kept bouncing in his mind.

Since Jiang Jing was protected by Fu Jinrong, it was not easy for him to start with Jiang Jing. Since that was the case, it was better to start with the person that Jiang Jing cared about the most.

And apparently the only person Jiang Jing cared about right now was Jiang Jing's mother.

Jiang Zhongheng thought that Jiang Jing wouldn't tell her mother the news of Jiang Zhongyong's death right now, so he decided to tell her by himself. He would tell her every word of it.

Of course, he would also tell her about Jiang Ru's disappearance by the way. Jiang Zhongheng believed that this would be a big blow to mother of Jiang. If something happened to mother of Jiang because of this, he believed that it would also be a huge blow to Jiang Jing. If he hurt Jiang Jing, wouldn't his goal be achieved?

Thus, Jiang Zhongheng, who had just gotten on the car, called Jiang Jing's landline, looking forward to the implementation of his sinister plan.

However, after he said this, Jiang Zhongheng felt that his goal might not be successful. Although he could feel a little pain from mother of Jiang, the heart-wrenching scene in his imagination did not seem to happen.

Was he wrong? Jiang Zhongheng asked himself after mother of Jiang hung up the phone.

What he did not know was that there was a sadness that was not revealed in front of people.
