My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 413: It is true.

~Jiang Corporations~

” Would you like to have a cup of tea, Mr. Han?” Grandfather Jiang asked politely yet his intimidating expressions can make anyone shake in one’s shoes.

Earlier when his secretary informed him about someone requesting a meeting with him without an appointment, he wasn’t expecting Han Zihao to be that person.

Compared to the indifferent expressions of Grandfather Jiang, Han Zihao was calm and composed.

At Grandfather Jiang’s question, Han Zihao unbuttoned the buttons of his coat as he made himself comfortable on the couch and answered, ” Yes. Thank you.”

Gu De, who was standing behind Grandfather Jiang came forward to pour the tea for both of them, however, Grandfather Jiang raised his hands and waved his hands to stop him from doing so.

” You go and wait outside. I want to be alone with Mr. Han.” As said this, Grandfather Jiang took the kettle and started to pour tea for both of them.

.....

Gu De glanced at Han Zihao and then at Grandfather Jiang in hesitance but followed his order anyway.

After Gu De left the room, Grandfather Jiang and Han Zihao were now left alone in the room. Even though they were alone, no one uttered a single word, and simply enjoyed their aromatic tea.

Grandfather Jiang pursed his lips to see that Han Zihao wasn’t talking and grew restless. He was trying to keep his composure but this man’s patience was now making him impatient.

” So....may I ask why would the President of Han Corporations, Mr. Han suddenly decides to come to meet me?” Grandfather Jiang finally asked as he observed Han Zihao’s reaction.

Han Zihao, who was drinking the tea, put down the teacup and looked at the old man with a mysterious smile on his lips, ” Mr. Jiang, I won’t circle around the words and cut to the chase.”

” A few days ago, I received a mysterious letter from an anonymous sender. I want to know if you’re the sender of that mysterious letter.” He asked straightforwardly, catching the old man off guard.

Grandfather Jiang was dumbfounded and was rather impressed by the boldness of this man. He was wondering how come there is no reaction from his side and this is how he decided to deal with this matter.

Hmm.... Impressive.

Grandfather Jiang also decided to not play with the words and answered, “Hmm...I wonder what were the contents of the letter that made you come to meet me all the way here.”

” To answer your question, what if that person is me? What will you do about it?” The old man asked, waiting for his response.

” If you’re the sender of the letter, then I believe you wanted to meet me more than I do. Don’t you think so?”

Grandfather Jiang didn’t say anything to his question and simply stared at him. The tension grew in the room as the two men didn’t utter a single word and kept staring at each other as if playing the staring game with each other.

After a few minutes, Grandfather Jiang took a deep breath and exhaled to calm his complicated heart as he answered, ” You’re right. I wanted to meet you.”

” I wanted to know if the ridiculous possibility I am thinking is true or not. I hope you understand what I am talking about.” The old man asked, hinting to him about Xu Nuan being Jiang Yue.

Although he believes that Xu Nuan is his Jiang Yue, he has no way to prove this truth. If by any chance his belief was wrong, then he won’t be able to handle his shattered heart once again.

He was only holding his weakening body in the hope of Jiang Yue being alive. However, if his belief is wrong, then it will be difficult for him to continue this battle against the wrong anymore.

Han Zihao stared into the old man’s eyes and could see the hope in them. The Jiang Hanging that he had heard about and his charismatic personality was nowhere to be seen around and at the moment, he looked like an old, weak man wanting to know the truth about his supposedly dead granddaughter.

Han Zihao nodded in seriousness and said, ” I am not sure what ridiculous possibility you’re talking about.” His answer caused the expression of the old man to darken.

‘ Did he really not understand what I mean?’ The old man wondered.

” However, there are instances when the ridiculous possibility that we think can be the truth of someone’s life. It is not ridiculous as long as it’s true.” He answered in a very Han Zihao way.

Even though Han Zihao’s words were confusing and mysterious, Grandfather Jiang got the answer that he was searching for. Rather than words, their eyes were doing all the talk, and could feel the surge of emotions inside him.

So it’s true? It was not just a belief anymore but it’s real?

Grandfather Jiang’s hands were trembling and his eyes were now wet with tears as he couldn’t control his emotions. It was the best news that he heard in so long.

The words of Han Zihao were like a ray of hope for him to hold onto this position and continue the fight that he had started. The fight that only he knows about.

Han Zihao didn’t say anything and simply passed a tissue to the old man and watched him wiping his tears away with his shaky hands.

The last time he saw him was at Jiang Yue’s funeral. Even though he didn’t go and greet the old man and only watched him from afar, he could see how much Jiang Yue’s death took a toll on his health.

He wanted him to relax and be at peace after hearing this news and not blame himself for everything.

After the old man calmed down, Han Zihao finally said, ” About the contents of the letter, I believe it’s not the right place to talk about.”

Since Grandfather Jiang had sent him the letter anonymously, there is a possibility that the person that he is hinting about in the letter must be close to him and keeping tabs on him. In addition to that, he believes that there is something more to Jiang Yue’s death that has caused him to act this way.

Otherwise, Jiang Hanying is a powerful man with strong connections. There is no way that he will be intimidated by a few threats, however, it is surely something serious that is causing him to be so cautious and careful about it that he needs to reach out to him so secretly.

So it’s not safe to do all the talking in this office where even the walls can have the ears.

Grandfather Jiang nodded and said, ” That’s right. I will soon find the right time and place for us to talk about this matter. There are many things that you should be aware of.” He said meaningfully.

” Till then, don’t tell ‘anyone’ about this meeting. I hope you can keep this promise.”

Han Zihao nodded seriously as he understood that he was talking about Xu Nuan and didn’t want her to know about this meeting between them. He gave his word to the old man and said, ” I understood. I will wait for your message.”

Grandfather Jiang was pleased and was satisfied by the choice of Jiang Yue. She made a mistake once by choosing Qin Ju as his partner so he was skeptical about this man as well, however, Han Zihao made him forget all the prejudices that he had against him before.

No one can keep her safe better than this man.

After exchanging the formal final greetings, Grandfather Jiang stretched his hand for a handshake, which Han Zihao took politely and shook hands with him.

” It was a nice meeting you, Mr. Jiang. I hope we can keep in contact in the future as well. Feel free to reach out to me if you need any kind of help. I will be-” Han Zihao told the old man when the door of the office suddenly flew open and a slender figure walked inside the office in high heels.

” So the news was not wrong. Mr. Han, what a pleasant surprise.”
