Judging from Jiang Tongyuan's words, it seemed that he had been dissatisfied with Chen Meirong for a long time.
Although this was what he thought, Jiang Ran did not ask anything. He only looked at Jiang Tongyuan quietly, waiting for him to speak.
Jiang Ran did not wait long before Jiang Tongyuan spoke.
"Back then, the reason you went missing was because she took you out and had your clothes custom-made. She did not pay attention to you at all.
By the time she remembered you, you were already gone.
"After that, although she called the police, you know the situation at that time. Even the police wanted to do something, but they were powerless.
"After looking for you for a while, they could not find you. In the end, they could only give up.
"At first, she was very sad. She cried all day, and the people around her blamed her.
"But after a long time, perhaps because she could not bear the pressure, or because she wanted to find an excuse to make herself feel better, she started to criticize you.
"She said that she didn't plan to take you out that day, but you insisted on waiting to go out with her. She also said that you were disobedient. She told you to sit there obediently and wait, but you didn't listen and ran out alone."
"You were the one who was disobedient and ran away. In the end, everyone was criticizing her. She was under so much pressure that she might as well have died.
"She was tired of living. Her son and daughter cried all day by her side. Seeing that she still had a son and daughter, the Family Jiang could not really force her to death. So, they went along with what she said, saying that it was all an accident and that it was not her fault.
"Under normal circumstances, she would have been satisfied with what she said.
But she was not. She insisted that everyone change their words, saying that it was not her fault, but yours.
"It was because you were disobedient since you were young. You were not as caring as your two children. She had suffered so much because of you."
At this point, Jiang Tongyuan sneered.
"This person, after deceiving herself for so long, she really thinks that others are deaf and blind. When you were young, you were very cute, obedient, and sensible. You were also very sweet. Every time people saw you, they would praise you. After praising you, they would praise her, saying that you looked like her and were well educated by her."
"She likes to be praised by others. That's why she brings you along wherever she goes. It was clearly raining heavily that day, but she still insisted on bringing you out. It was clearly her fault, but she refused to admit it."
"So many years have passed. Now that you're back and living a good life and you're capable, her feelings are even more complicated."
Jiang Tongyuan didn't continue, but Jiang Ran understood.
Now, Chen Meirong saw that she was back and living a good life. He felt that if he recognized her, he would be able to show off and be praised, so he wanted to recognize her.
After discovering that she didn't have such thoughts, he decided to start with Pei Jing.
After understanding all of this, Jiang Ran just wanted to laugh coldly.
Chen Meirong was really stupid and greedy.
After this incident, Jiang Ran had a deeper understanding that this was not the world in books. This was a real and complete world.
Everyone who lived in this world had their own ideas.
Even if these thoughts were good and evil, selfless and selfish.
Jiang Ran snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Jiang Tongyuan. "I actually came here today to see Old Master Jiang."
