From Sidekick to Bigshot

Chapter 429: He Yan’s Retribution (2)

Jian Yujie began to cry after he finished shouting.

“Yujie, what are you talking about?” Jian Shuhong asked. He was incredibly confused.

“I’ll tell you,” Jian Yuncheng said as he stepped forward. His voice was cold. “Initially, when my sister handed us the CCTV footage, she didn’t let us know where the footage came from. However, after our investigation, we realized that something was fishy with a maid in our household. As our maid interacted with He Yan, we figured out that she had been secretly trying to destroy our family.”

“Yuncheng… You…” Jian Shuhong stammered. He looked at his eldest nephew with eyes filled with disbelief.

“Second uncle, everything that I have said today is true. Your wife has been trying to ruin us behind our backs. She tried to ruin Yiling and Yunnao. She wanted our family to collapse so that she could get a bigger share of the family fortune.”

“No… That’s not… Not…” Jian Shuhong started. His expression was painful. It seemed as though he was about to break down.

He and He Yan had been married for thirty years! They had shared the bed for so many years together!

And now, they were telling him that his partner had been scheming against his family?

Jian Shuhong turned his head to look at He Yan. His eyes locked on the face that he knew incredibly well.

His wife… The wife that he had lived with for thirty years…

“Shuhong…” He Yan started. She was in a state of complete panic.

The questioning look in her husband’s eyes was like a sharp blade that stabbed her directly in the chest.

“Tell me that what Yujie and Yuncheng said was not true. Tell me that you did not do those things to hurt my family!” Jian Shuhong cried out. His eyes were scarlet and his chest was heaving violently.

“No… No, no…” He Yan denied repeatedly.

Jian Yuncheng interrupted. His voice coldly cut off He Yan’s last trace of hope.

“We have more than enough evidence to prove that you did all of those things. If you want to see the evidence, we can show the evidence right now.”

He Yan’s face turned deathly white. She knew that what Jian Yuncheng said was not a lie.

Jian Shuhong wanted to believe in his wife. However, the truth was in front of him. He couldn’t believe any excuse that she made up.

Unable to argue, He Yan looked at Jian Shuhong. She saw the warmth in his eyes slowly drain away.

When she saw this, she was terrified: “I… I… I’m doing this for us! Shuhong, you need to believe in me! I love you!”

Jian Shuhong painfully asked He Yan: “Why would you do all of these things if you love me? If you love me, you should know that my brother and I are very close! We’re a family! Why would you do this? We have a good family… We have three lovely sons… I always thought… I always thought…”

Jian Shuhong turned his head to look at his three sons. Despair struck his heart.

He had always thought that his family had gotten along well. He thought his son’s hearts were filled with love and happiness.

However, this wasn’t the case.

His son’s hearts were full of hate.

They hated their mother. And they hated him as well.

If his wife was wrong, how was he not wrong? He hadn’t even noticed! He believed that their family was perfect!

He Yan was driven to the brink by Jian Shuhong’s questioning.

He Yan reached out and took Jian Shuhong’s arm: “Shuhong, I really do love you! I only did it for the sake of our family!”

“So you really did those things? Did you really place someone around your brother and sister-in-law? Did you really attempt to destroy their family? Did you really hide the video of Yunnao falling down the stairs? And did you really try to hurt Yiling and Yunnao?!”
