The CEO's Woman Chapter 306 Secret Weapon

Chapter 306 Secret Weapon

"Who?" Jiang Yue asked. If someone else had hurt Wang Ruo, then did that mean that Li Qiang had actually saved her mother?
For some reason, the fact that Li Qiang had saved her mother, was making her feel conflicted. Just, who was Li Qiang? What position did he have in her mother's life?
"I don't know yet. But I will find out soon." Wang Ruo said solemnly. She intended to find out very soon.
"So, are you going to continue pretending to be Long Die? Shall I send Bai'Li and Wang Minghua to M Country instead?"
"Don't send anyone." Wang Ruo answered before glancing at Fu Jin. "The two of you should know that this could be a trap set for Jiang Yue."
"I'm sorry Mom, but I don't understand." Jiang Yue interjected. "Is someone trying to kill me aside from Li Qiang?"
Wang Ruo slowly nodded.
"Who?"
"You don't need to know that now since I am not yet certain about it too. But I am sure they are from the Royal Family."
"Like the Prime Minister's wife?" Jiang Yue asked.
"Precisely."
"But why? Can't you tell me this? Can't you at least explain to me why this is happening? Why would someone try to kill me just because I'm your daughter? I am not even aware of who my father is." Jiang Yue needed an explanation. She needed to know. She needed the truth from her mother.
Wang Ruo let out a sigh before she gestured Fu Jin to sit down at Jiang Yue's table across them.
"Listen to me. And listen attentively." She began. "Your father holds a very important position in that country. He… chose the country instead of me… he did not know that I was pregnant when I left."
"Is my father the King of M Country?" Jiang Yue asked.
"I don't know."
"What do you mean?" this time it was Fu Jin who asked. What kind of mother didn't know, who the father of her child was? Wang Ruo must have been kidding, right?
"When I met him… he didn't reveal to me his real identity. All I know is that... he was… Li Qiang's twin brother." Wang Ruo's answer earned shocked gasps from both Fu Jin and Jiang Yue.
"But… according to…"
"Don't believe the records." Wang Ruo interrupted Jiang Yue. "He had a brother that was chosen by the main Li Family when they were still toddlers."
"It is a secret rule. No one is allowed to know this, except family members. But Li Qiang told me this secret when he discovered that his brother and I had been seeing each other. By then… it was already too late. I was already involve in their matter too deeply and.. it took me a while to get out of the situation."
"You mean my father is Li Qiang's twin, and you were unaware of this?"
"You are right."
"So, you believe that my father is either the King or the Prime Minister, disguised under another identity?" Jiang Yue asked, disbelief laced her eyes. So, these things did not just happen in the movies after all.
"So, why can't he know that I am his daughter?"
"Because you have a very special identity. You are – were supposed to become the next leader of the Vercello Family."
"What do you mean?"
Wang Ruo hesitated before finally deciding not to tell Jiang Yue everything. "I mean, you were destined to become enemies with the Li Family."
Wang Ruo's words were something that Jiang Yue did not anticipate. Then, Li Qiang's words seem to echo in her mind.
'Rose would only create chaos and war. Rose should die.'
She let out a long sigh, as her mind started processing Wang Ruo's words. So, she was supposed to be her father's enemy. Was that why Li Qiang wanted to kill her? Because she was someone that supposed to be his enemy?
"This is too complicated." Jiang Yue blurted out.
"It is." Wang Ruo nodded. "And I apologize for being dumb."
Jiang Yue shook her head and held her mother's hands. "This is not your fault."
In the end, Jiang Yue and Wang Ruo talked a bit more about Jiang Yue's life when her mother was not there.
Of course, Jiang Yue could feel that her mother was still hiding something from her. Something very important. Yet, she chose to ignore that for now.
She had already decided not to go to M Country. She would rather stay here, beside her mother and Fu Jin, than dabble in a war that she couldn't win.
The trio then decided, to let Wang Ruo mask herself as Long Die and continue working for her.
They assumed that once Jiang Yue backed out from the project of M Country, they would also stop provoking her. However, there were people, who couldn't just ignore Jiang Yue's identity. She was a genius, a prodigy that could create something impossible.
Jiang Yue was just the perfect secret weapon, a secret ally for the upcoming war.
