The CEO's Woman Chapter 247 Vercello Family

Chapter 247 Vercello Family

Fu Jin wiped away Jiang Yue's tears, his gaze gentle, it hurt him so much-seeing her crying. He would have never thought that his actions could hurt her like this.
He gently enveloped her into his embrace, letting her cry in his arms.
No words were said between the two, as Jiang Yue started sobbing in Fu Jin's arms. She let all her emotions pour out, her raw feelings racking her body. Her strong facade crumbled in Fu Jin's arms, vulnerability, weakness, all laid out in front of her man.
"Shhh..." he consoled her. He knew that no words of comfort could make Jiang Yue feel better. He knew that she needed him by her side the most. No words, just emotions, and his presence.
After a few more minutes Jiang Yue finally calmed down and used Fu Jin's shoulder as her pillow.
"Have you ever heard of Vercello Family?" Fu Jin asked.
In response, Jiang Yue nodded at him. Vercello Family... Wasn't that the Top International Crime Organization that was rumored to control countries and royal families?
"Do you know their current matriarch?" he asked, gently.
"No."
"Natalie Vercello... the 22nd Matriarch of the Vercello Family is your... grandmother."
Jiang Yue blinked at Fu Jin's words... then she blinked again. Then she burst out laughing...
"Okay... I don't think this is time for any jokes. I mean... " Seeing Fu Jin's solemn face, Jiang Yue stopped laughing. " You're not joking," she stated.
"No... I am not"
"So you're saying..." Jiang Yue suddenly jolted up when the severity of Fu Jin's words hit her.
"Yes... your grandmother is the current leader and matriarch of the infamous Vercello family." Fu Jin said in one breath... rendering Jiang Yue speechless.
"That can't be. That's absurd. Who have told you that?"
"That's what grandfather told us at his study. He told me everything about you, your mother and grandmother and gave me a choice," he explained. "He asked me if I would still be willing to marry you despite knowing that Vercello family will come to get you anytime."
"What do you mean?"
"Vercello family are well known to have matriarchs. The one, who will lead the family is always the strongest female of their bloodline. And... you could be the candidate in this generation." Again, Jiang Yue was in a daze.
Where did this come from? How come, she did not know this in her previous life? In her previous life, all she remembered, was dealing with Jiang Mian and Yu Chen. How come, this had not happen in her previous life?
Did something change?
Jiang Yue remembered how her grandfather never even once mentioned their grandmother. In her previous life, she assumed that her grandmother was dead.
What about her mother?
"What about..."
"Your grandfather did his best to hide your mother." he interrupted. "He had her join the military."
Jiang Yue stared at Fu Jin in disbelief... So that was the secret he had been keeping away from her? It... It was far from what she thought it might have been.
"What else?" she asked. She wanted to know more.... just more.
Fu Jin took a deep breath. "There is a possibility that Jiang Chanming is not your father."
*Boom*
Jiang Yue's head seemed to burst when she heard Fu Jin's words.
Not her father...
Jiang Chanming might not be her father.
"Please clarify," she said, unable to utter anything else.
"You were born seven months after your mother and Jiang Chanming got married. And ... grandfather believes, that your mother was running from someone when she begged him to set up a marriage for her."
"Wait... what?" she asked. "She... She begged him?"
Her heart started racing, as the memories from her previous life flooded her. She remembered how Wang Ruo always told her that... Jiang Yue shook her head, as she realized something.
Her mother never told her about her marriage. She had also never told her about Lu Shi and Jiang Chanming's relationship... So... how did she know?
She did not remember her mother telling her the things that she knew about Jiang Chanming,about Lu Shi and about Jiang Mian.
"I need to go to Xin City." she declared. "I need to know everything from grandfather's mouth."
That's right. She needed to know everything... everything about her mother.
"I will accompany you." Fu Jin said.
"No... I want you to be here... Li Qiang is planning something that's why he..." Jiang Yue swallowed the rest of her words when another thought came to her. "Does he want your contacts, to get a hold of Vericello Family?"
"Do you think he hates my mother to the extent that he also wants to... to destroy my grandmother?" she asked.
Could Li Qiang be after her Grandmother's family as well?
