Chapter 36

Just as Jiang Jing was thinking about how to get rid of Han Cheng's entanglement, a large hand covered their hands. To be exact, it covered Jiang Jing's wrist that Han Cheng grabbed.

"Mr. Han, I think you should let go first. Don't you realize that my wife doesn't like your actions?" A familiar voice rang in Jiang Jing's ear.

Jiang Jing turned her face and saw that it was indeed Fu Jinrong. She was shocked and somehow felt a little guilty...

Han Cheng was a little surprised to see Fu Jinrong suddenly appear, but he still let go of Jiang Jing's wrist first.

"I'm sorry, Ru. I'm a little anxious, so my behavior is a little inappropriate. I hope you could understand. I really want to find your elder sister." Han Cheng looked into Jiang Jing's eyes and said sincerely.

Jiang Jing moved her wrist, thought for a moment, and finally explained to Han Cheng, "It's not that I don't tell you where my sister is, but I really don't know."

"Besides, Mr. Han, my sister has already broken up with you. There is no longer any possibility between you. I don't think you need to look for her anymore." Jiang Jing pulled Fu Jinrong and walked back to the funeral parlor's auditorium, leaving Han Cheng alone under the big tree. He's like a falling leaf, without knowing where to go.

Jiang Jing held Fu Jinrong's right hand all the way to the entrance of the auditorium's lounge. "Do you have anything to ask?" Jiang Jing loosened her hand and murmured.

"No." Fu Jinrong saw the blank expression on Jiang Jing's face and unexpectedly laughed.

Fu Jinrong went on to explain, "I don't care about your past. I'm just sorry I didn't get involved in it."

Jiang Jing's heart was in a turmoil in an instant. Fu Jinrong had always been a little arrogant and rude in front of her, she did not expect he would say those words. At this moment, the feelings she had after being moved by him surpassed the annoyance that Han Cheng had just brought to her.

"Thank you." Jiang Jing said from the bottom of her heart.

Fu Jinrong moved Jiang Jing's hair up from her temples and looked into Jiang Jing's eyes, "We're husband and wife. You don't need to say thank you."

"No, it's not just about what happened just now, it's also about dad. You've been busy handling all the things." Jiang Jing thought about how Fu Jinrong had been advising her and her mother, and how he had just admitted her mother's identity at the memorial service.

These were all borne by Fu Jinrong, who had no regrets and worked hard. How could such an attitude and a heart not move Jiang Jing?

At this time, Fu Jinrong did not show the immature he had when he argued with Jiang Jing in the normal time at all. Instead, he smiled lightly, "Okay, I'll take your thanks. Let's go in. We have to send mom back later. She's tired after all this morning."

Jiang Jing nodded and opened the door of the lounge. They saw mother of Jiang chatting with the old man, while Jiang Zhongheng sat quietly by the side, as if he was thinking about something.

"Mom, should we go? You're tired this morning. I want to take you home to rest." Jiang Jing came to her mother and asked.

Surprisingly, mother of Jiang shook her head, "No, I'm not leaving until your father's cremation is over."

Jiang Zhongyong's body was set to be cremated at the funeral home at 2 pm. Jiang Jing had intended to keep her mother away from the process. She was afraid that her mother would not be able to bear to see her father turn into ashes, but she did not expect her mother would ask to stay.

"Mom, let's go back. Fu Jinrong is here. He'll take care of everything. You'd better go back and rest." Once again, Jiang Jing hoped her mother would go home and rest. She felt in her heart that it was too cruel for her mother to stay and watch the cremation.

Mother of Jiang shook her head again, "You don't have to persuade me. I won't leave. Dad stays here at such an old age. I have no excuse not to stay. Your father is in the crystal coffin, but he is also my husband."

Jiang Jing was about to say something, but Fu Jinrong stopped her. "Mom, you can stay. When the ceremony is over, I'll take you home. You can accompany dad for his last journey."

Fu Jinrong really understood mother of Jiang's feelings at this time. She just wanted to accompany Jiang Zhongyong to the end of his life. Even if she saw Jiang Zhongyong turn into a plate of ashes with her own eyes, she felt that she should stay. Watching the cremation was not cruel to her. As for her, she was having the last tenderness that Jiang Zhongyong left.

Mother of Jiang looked at Fu Jinrong gratefully, "Thank you, Fu."

"Mom, we're a family. Needn't say it." Fu Jinrong comforted mother of Jiang by putting his arm around her shoulder, meaning that she needn't take him as an outsider.

Jiang Jingrun was naturally very happy to see Fu Jinrong take care of Jiang Jing and her mother. After all, how much care Fu Jinrong showed for the mother and daughter of the Jiang family at this time meant how much he valued Jiang Jing.

And behind Jiang Jing stood the entire the Jiang Corporation. Whether the Jiang Corporation could survive this disaster depended on whether Fu Jinrong would help or not. And that how much help Fu Jinrong would offer was also very important.

Now what Jiang Jingrun wanted to do was to make Fu Jinrong be linked to the Jiang Corporation as much as possible. Now though he and Jiang Jing were married, there was no real bond between them. So if he wanted them to have an irreversible relationship, they had to have a tight tie between them.

And in Jiang Jingrun's mind, what formed this tie must be a "child"!

Right, it was to get Jiang Jing pregnant with Fu Jinrong's child. Once Jiang Jing gave birth to a child of the Fu family one day, the Jiang family would be the child's grandfather's family. Then it's impossible for the Fu family not to help them.

So Jiang Jing's pregnancy was the most important thing for Jiang Jingrun right now.

"Ru, you and Fu have been married for so long. Have you two ever thought about when you would let me have a grandchild?" Jiang Jingrun asked, pretending to be unintentional.

Jiang Jing frowned. She didn't know what her grandfather was up to. She could only look at Fu Jinrong helplessly, hoping that Fu Jinrong could help answer such a question.

However, Fu Jinrong, as if he did not hear Jiang Jingrun's words, continued to stare into the distance, completely ignoring Jiang Jing's signal for help.

Jiang Jing had no choice but to say, "Grandpa, what are you thinking? We just got married. I haven't thought about it."

"Bang" Jiang Jingrun hit his crutch hard on the ground, then yelled at Jiang Jing as if he was angry, "Nonsense! Fu is the eldest son of the Fu family. You are the eldest daughter-in-law, how can you not think of having a child for the fu family and still treat this as a frivolous joke?"

Jiang Jing did not know what to say for a moment. She did not expect Jiang Jingrun would suddenly lose his temper, and had no idea why he was angry. She had already married Fu Jinrong in place of Jiang Ru, now she even had to give birth to a child taking place of her?

"Grandpa, don't be angry. Ru and I have always planned this. It's just that Ru is too shy to say it. Grandpa, don't be angry at her."

When Jiang Jing heard Fu Jinrong's words, she looked at Fu Jinrong's profile in shock. When did she have plans for this with him? Wasn't it all Jiang Jingrun's sudden idea?

Jiang Jing was just about to refute Fu Jinrong when Fu Jinrong grabbed her right hand and pinched her palm with his fingers.

"Don't say anything now. Just calm him down." Fu Jinrong whispered in Jiang Jing's ear.

Jiang Jing nodded and said nothing. Jiang Jingrun, of course, noticed the interaction between Fu Jinrong and Jiang Jing. Although he was old, he was not confused. He knew that with Jiang Jing's personality, she would never discuss such a topic with Fu Jinrong, but all he wanted to do was to remind them. He thought Fu Jinrong was smart to figure out what to do next.

If Fu Jinrong really cared about this eldest daughter of the Jiang family, then having a child would be natural without his any more words.

"That's good. I'm afraid you're young and ignorant. Some things are better done as young as possible. For things like having children, you should take advantage of the fact that our elders are still around. When the child is born, you can make us happy, and we can help you to take care of it. Why not?"

Jiang Jingrun said in a dignified manner, and his face was still smiling "kindly".

"That's right, what grandpa said makes sense. Ru and I will make a good plan. Grandpa, don't worry." Fu Jinrong promised Jiang Jingrun politely.

In fact, although Fu Jinrong seemed to be just saying nice words, he was also very yearning for having children, especially his and Jiang Jing's children.

Jiang Jingrun's words made him think in his mind. If he and Jiang Jing had a child, then what would the child look like? Would it be more like him or Jiang Jing?

However, Fu Jinrong himself was not sure whether Jiang Jing would like to be with him or not. Did she still want to return to her position after finding Jiang Ru?

At the thought of this, Fu Jinrong became very agitated, and he felt that things shouldn't be continued like this.

"Ru's mother, do you think it's too early for them to have children?" Just as Fu Jinrong and Jiang Jing were thinking, Jiang Jingrun asked mother of Jiang.

Mother of Jiang knew in her heart that Jiang Jing had married Fu Jinrong instead of Jiang Ru. Although Fu Jinrong didn't seem to care about all of this and was especially good to Jiang Jing, it didn't mean that Jiang Jing herself didn't care.

With her knowledge of her daughter, she knew that Jiang Jing was unwilling to maintain such a marriage as a substitute. No matter how much the other party loved her, she might not accept it.
