The CEO's Woman Chapter 266 Captive

Chapter 266 Captive

Jiang Yue stared at Wu Minxia, her gaze unfathomable. Were they talking about the same Wang Ruo?
"Tell me about this conversation." she asked as her interest about this topic piqued. The possibility of her mother being alive is... It's just close to unbelievable.
"Well... I was just waiting for my face to heal when I heard Jiang Mian crying... she was talking to someone.. a man. I'm not sure if it was over the phone or a video call... I just listen outside of her room. So..."
"So Jiang Mian was arguing with the man, she said she wanted to have you killed as soon as possible. But the man said they cannot do it without the substitute. Without me."
"Then Jiang Mian started talking about how you killed your mother and how she should also kill your mother."
"But the man got angry and told her that the greatest revenge is letting you watch as... Wang Ruo treats Jiang Mian as a daughter."
Jiang Yue narrowed her eyes at Wu Minxia, "And when did this happen?"
"About two months ago."
"Where?"
"I don't know. I was in a penthouse. I think it was Jiang Mian's penthouse."
Jiang Yue nodded at Wu Minxia's words.
"So that's it? You are just going to nod? Do you even care about your mother?" Wu Minxia asked.
"What do you want me to do? Cry about something that is uncertain?" she said before shaking her head. "I'm not as stupid as you."
"But I was telling the truth!"
"Okay." she shrugged, trying to maintain her nonchalant attitude. She cannot have Wu Minxia see her react to her words.
"Okay? That was it? Are you still human?" Wu Minxia widened her eyes in disbelief. "Your mother is treating another woman as her child! Do you get it? They wanted to hurt you by letting your mother treat another person as her daughter!"
"Okay... stop it. Seriously, your voice is annoying me. First, my mother died when I was fifteen. Second, why would my mother treat another person as her child? Its either she had forgotten about me or she was another woman at all. So quit yapping, its irritating me." Jiang Yue said. "As I have promised, I will let my men bring you to the police. Your father is safe and is waiting for you at the station."
"Also, treasure this moment with your father. If I am right then... the one backing Jiang Mian might kill you, to tie up loose ends," she added before turning her back at Wu Minxia.
"Wait!" Wu Minxia said, halting Jiang Yue's steps. Seeing Jiang Yue turned her head to her direction, she asked. "Do you... Did you once see me as a rival? Did you once felt fear that I... I might take Fu Jin away from you?" This was the question that Wu Minxia wanted to ask after what happened to her family.
She can see Jiang Yue acting all mighty and she wondered if... Jiang Yue even once feared that she could take Fu Jin away from her.
Jiang Yue just chuckled at her words. "Wu Minxia, let me tell you something."
"I never once feared that someone will take Fu Jin away from me. It doesn't mean that I do not love him. It just means that I trust him enough for me to believe that he will not cheat on our relationship."
"And if.. and only if he would hurt me and choose someone else over me... then it is not my loss."
"I clearly deserve someone else. Someone better than him. Someone who deserves my trust. Someone who will not hurt me."
"Now, keep my words in your mind and use it for your next life," she said before walking out of the room leaving a daze Wu Minxia inside.
Jiang Yue was sure that Li Qiang will have someone kill Wu Minxia. And she does not pity her at all, nor does she sympathize with her. Wu Minxia made her choices and this time, she clearly made the wrong one.
However, Jiang Yue is really interested in the words the Wu Minxia told her about her mother. Is she really alive like what Wu Minxia claimed? So is it possible that she survived the accident? What happened to her after the accident? Is it possible that Li Qiang kept her captive for years?
Then Jiang Yue thought about the events in her previous life. Around this time, she was already a budding starlet, yet she does not remember Li Qiang doing something to her. Nor she remembered knowing that her mother was alive.
What could have happened?
