Back to youth, the child's mother became a female president

Office of the Mayor of Yixi Town.

After washing up, Hua Tingjue sat on the black leather sofa. There was a cup of steaming tea on the mahogany table. The town mayor Tao Yang and the police station director Chen Xiong sat with him.

Tao Yang nodded politely, "Third Master, have some tea."

"You're too polite, Mayor Tao." Hua Tingjue smiled faintly. Mayor Tao's attitude was not uncommon. In Jing City, a thrown brick could hit a group of directors, not to mention his special identity.

Tao Yang smiled and spoke very cautiously, "The old leader just called me, Third Master, what do you think..."

Hua Tingjue understood what he meant, "Don't worry, I will tell Grandpa and won't implicate you."

"What are you talking about, Third Young Master? It's our honor to help you. I wonder why you came here this time..." Tao Yang asked after observing his expression, and finally stopped talking.

"Nothing, just came to see a friend." Hua Tingjue brushed it off lightly.

friend?

Tao Yang was a little shocked, "I wonder who your friend is, Third Master?"

Not only Tao Yang had this expression, but Chen Xiong next to him also had the same expression. In other words, the person they have been looking for all this time is the friend of this young master?

Who is this god who can actually date a young master from Beijing who has a good family background, and who is from their poor and remote township?

"Jiang Ruonan." Taking Jiang Ruonan away definitely required informing, so Hua Tingjue didn't intend to hide it and directly gave the name.

Jiang Ruonan?

Chen Xiong frowned, he felt that the name was too familiar.

The policeman next to Chen Xiong also thought he had heard it somewhere before, and after realizing it, he added, "Isn't that Jiang Jian's daughter?"

When Jiang Jian was mentioned, some people's faces changed, as if they had eaten dog shit. It was because Jiang Jian was a veteran of the police station, or a sly old man in Yixi Town, and no one wanted to get involved with him.

Seeing their expressions, Hua Tingjue knew there must be something mysterious, so he asked Chen Xiong: "Why, Director Chen knows this family well?"

"This..." Chen Xiong hesitated, because Hua Tingjue had just said that Jiang Ruonan was his good friend, and the responsibility for what Jiang Jian had done would probably fall on them.

Hua Tingjue saw through his evasive expression at a glance, and with a forced smile, he used his intimidation, "Is there some secret that I cannot hear?"

After following Mu Xiuzhi and Mu Fengye for a long time, he has learned 80% of their intimidating aura without even getting angry, which is enough to intimidate other people present.

Tao Yang also saw that he was angry, and quickly tried to smooth things over, coaxing the young master from Beijing, "Chen Xiong, just say whatever you want to say. The Third Young Master is not an outsider." He gave Chen Xiong a look.

Chen Xiong had no choice but to tell the truth: "Jiang Jian is a notorious scoundrel here. He likes to play cards and drink, and often picks fights and causes trouble."

Hearing this, Hua Tingjue's face turned unhappy. He might have guessed that Jiang Ruonan's family background was not very good, but he did not expect that her father was such a person.

But what other people said next made him angry.

"That's not all. Jiang Jian favors boys over girls. Last time, he was taken to our police station for beating his daughter." said a young man nearby.

Take your daughter to the police station?

Hua Tingjue couldn't believe what he heard.

Another policeman who was about the same age as Chen Xiong also jumped out and described Jiang Jian's viciousness in vivid detail, "Yes, the couple moved to the town with their son, married off their eldest daughter, and left their second daughter in the mountains. My daughter went to the same school as his daughter. I heard that Jiang Ruonan had to walk along the mountain road every time she went to school. She had a very miserable life."

Someone spat, "Jiang Jian and Wang Fen are not good people. Their daughter has been beaten so many times. Even as an adult, I find it creepy to see her bleeding head."

At this moment, Hua Tingjue suddenly felt dizzy and his whole body was extremely dizzy. He held onto the armrest of the sofa, veins bulged on the back of his hands, and his brain stopped functioning because it was unable to digest this explosive information.

Chen Xiong's eyes were always fixed on Hua Tingjue's face. He saw that he was so angry that he clenched his fists, his lips were tightened, and he began to cough and clear his throat, trying to make others shut up.

The room suddenly fell silent.

Hua Tingjue took a deep breath, his eyes regained clarity, and he spoke in a low and hoarse voice: "Can Mayor Tao and Director Chen give me the information about the Jiang family?"

"Third Master, you..." Mayor Tao looked at his condition worriedly, exchanged glances with Chen Xiong, and nodded, "Okay, I'll have someone retrieve your file right away."

……

Soon, Mayor Tao came in with a stack of information. He handed it to Hua Tingjue and considerately closed the door to leave Hua Tingjue some space to be alone.

Hua Tingjue picked up the file bag but was still afraid to open it. Finally, he made up his mind and opened it, and what he saw were three words.

Jiang Ruonan.

It turned out that she was not Jiang Nan, nor Jiang Ruonan, but Jiang Ruonan. He remembered what they had just said about favoring boys over girls, and his heart sank.

He then looked down.

Seeing her family background, she was the second child in the family, with an older sister and a doted-on younger brother. This file was also mixed with investigation materials, describing Jiang Ruonan's situation in as much detail as possible.

She was not loved by her parents. Her parents only loved her younger brother and did not treat her as a human being just because she was a girl. She was supposed to go to kindergarten but had to do all kinds of farm work. She could only attend elementary school in the village and had to walk along the mountain road to go to junior high school in town. Insults and beatings from her drunken father were commonplace.

Now that she is in high school, despite having such good grades, she has to pay for her tuition and living expenses by herself.

The writing is clear in black and white.

The more Hua Tingjue looked at it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Suddenly, a line of words came into view.

[Jiang Jianjin provoked trouble on campus, beat up students and security guards, and was detained for 15 days.]

A photo was inserted into the text, showing a person lying in a pool of blood, his body barely covered by a police uniform, and he was dying.

It was Jiang Ruonan, he recognized her.

The overwhelming feeling of suffocation made Hua Tingjue almost unable to breathe. He felt like he had seen some horror story. The paper was crumpled by him. He sat there as if frozen, with red eyes.

No wonder she lives alone in the mountains and doesn't like to get close to people. She is as cold as an iceberg that has never melted. No wonder she is wearing thin clothes in such a cold day and is so thin that she is just a bag of bones.

So how did she escape from the mountains and come to Beijing? She was forced to give up her studies and hang out in entertainment venues. The originally aloof and arrogant girl turned into a docile and gentle lover.

The proud and unruly young master's first reaction when he saw this embarrassing side of the world was not disgust, but boundless heartache.

With bitterness on the corners of his lips, Hua Tingjue lowered his head in pain, his stomach was churning, and the cramping pain made him want to vomit. He wanted to vomit when he saw these disgusting things.

He should have come earlier, should have come earlier...

If he had come earlier, perhaps she wouldn't have suffered for so long.

He closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling, self-blame and guilt almost overwhelmed him.

……

When Hua Tingjue calmed down and pushed the door open, Tao Yang and Chen Xiong stood up and handed him the phone. Tao Yang covered the receiver and reminded him, "Third Young Master, it's the old commander."

"Okay, I understand." Hua Tingjue took the phone and walked to the other side to talk, while Tao Yang and Chen Xiong tactfully avoided him.

Mu Fengye had obviously read the information and knew what kind of people Jiang Ruonan and her family were. He sternly ordered, "Xiaojue, come back immediately!"

Hua Tingjue apologized as soon as he opened his mouth, "Grandpa, I'm sorry."

The refusal was obvious. Old Master Mu was so angry that he almost blew his beard and glared at him. He asked loudly: "Are you going to stay in Yixi Town? For that little girl?"

"Do you know what family she comes from? Is she approaching you with a purpose? Such a person will do you no good and will only harm you!"

Rich families pay the most attention to face and interests. Marriages are common in the circle, and whether someone likes or not is insignificant in the face of family honor.

Grandpa Mu was naturally well aware of this, but he didn't care who Hua Tingjue was. "I don't care, Grandpa, I will definitely take her back!"

After saying this, he hung up the phone with great ambition and threats.
