Yu Mengxi and Jiang Jinning were stunned for a long time after hearing what Yang Yunxia had done to Xia Zhiqian. It was the first time they had ever heard of a biological mother smothering her own son.

It's not uncommon for girls to be smothered to death. With strict family planning policies, some people who wanted sons would smother their newborn daughters to death.

"Miss Xia, do you know why?"

Yu Mengxi asked curiously, and Jiang Jinning also looked at Xia Yichu with a puzzled expression. After all, they worked together, and she thought Yang Yunxia was a nice person.

She is warm-hearted and considerate, and she takes good care of the new employees who have just started working at the Education Bureau.

"I don't know. Xia Zhiqian is actually quite pitiful, having such a biological mother."

I've heard that Miss Jiang has a stepmother and a half-brother. I have a suggestion you might consider. Of course, you can choose not to take it if you think it's unreasonable.

Xia Yichu had just heard Su Qingyan say that Jiang Jinning had a hard time, that she had a stepmother, and that her biological father didn't seem to treat her very well.

After what happened, Jiang Jinning didn't stay with her family; instead, she stayed with her best friend. It's easy to imagine that she wasn't doing well in the Jiang family, and her father probably didn't value her.

As for why Yang Yunxia did those things to Xia Zhiqian, it was all just Xia Yichu's speculation, and she didn't want to say anything that hadn't been confirmed. Xia Yichu stopped them not only to reassure Grandma Xia, but also to consider things from Jiang Jinning's perspective.

"Miss Xia, please speak."

Jiang Jinning said with a serious expression. Before coming, she was actually quite afraid that Grandma Xia would take advantage of her illness and play the victim to get her to let Xia Zhiqian off the hook.

Fortunately, both Grandma Xia and Xia Yichu were reasonable and did not deliberately make things difficult for them, nor did they do anything to make things difficult for them.

Xia Zhiqian and Zhou Miaoying dated for several years before finally getting married last year. Yang Yunxia only found out about his relationship with Zhou Miaoying when they were about to get married. Xia Zhiqian had kept it a secret from Yang Yunxia that he had a girlfriend.

It was because he knew Yang Yunxia's character and was afraid she would make things difficult for Zhou Miaoying, so he had protected her very well over the years.

Although Xia Zhiqian did something to hurt you, he himself is not doing well either, especially since he did something to wrong Zhou Miaoying during her pregnancy.

Regardless of whether Zhou Miaoying divorces him or not, this thorn will forever remain in their hearts. Therefore, it can be said that Xia Zhiqian's pain is no less than yours.

"Miss Xia, you mean Xia Zhiqian did this to Xiao Ning and he's acting all wronged? Besides, who knows if he's just being deliberately foolish?"

Jiang Jinning wasn't as beautiful as Xia Yichu, but she was still pretty and had a good figure. In Yu Mengxi's eyes, she was perfect in every way.

"Miss Yu, you've misunderstood. That's not what I meant. I'm a girl too, and I know that this world is inherently unfair to us girls. No matter what happens, it's always the girls who suffer."

What I mean is, Xia Zhiqian is rich, Miss Jiang can ask him for money and a house as compensation. As the saying goes, with a stepmother comes a stepfather, and no one is as reliable as money.

Of course, what I'm saying is based on the premise that Xia Zhiqian is also a victim. If he were the perpetrator, no amount of money could forgive him. Not only could we not forgive him, but we must punish him at all costs.

"Good, well said."

Yu Mengxi clapped her hands. "Miss Xia's words are truly insightful. Xiao Ning, I think Miss Xia is right."

We can't let Xia Zhiqian get away with this, but we also need to think about ourselves. Miss Xia, do you think Xia Zhiqian did it on purpose?

"I can't draw a conclusion easily; I'll just share my guesses and judgments."

"Okay, go ahead."

Yu Mengxi felt a sense of regret for not having met Xia Yichu sooner, as many of her ideas coincided with Xia Yichu's.

"First of all, Xia Zhiqian loves Zhou Miaoying. Secondly, he doesn't know Miss Jiang. Perhaps he doesn't even know that Miss Jiang will be at the Xia family's old house."

Before this, his truck had been robbed, and he had gone to another city to deal with the matter before the Chinese New Year. That night, he had just returned when Yang Yunxia took him back to the Xia family's old house under the pretext that she was sick.

I don't think he did it on purpose. Although he didn't do it on purpose, Yang Yunxia is absolutely innocent. Ultimately, it's all their fault, and it's perfectly reasonable for Miss Jiang to ask Xia Zhiqian for compensation.

If there is evidence, not only can we receive compensation, but we can also bring Yang Yunxia to justice.

Yu Mengxi nodded and said, "That makes sense."

Jiang Jinning lowered his head and pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "Miss Xia, I understand what you're saying. It's just that this matter has hit me hard, and I'm finding it difficult to make a decision right now."

Xia Yichu nodded. "I understand. Miss Jiang can take her time to consider it. I just hope that there can be a solution that is better for everyone."

Jiang Jinning raised her head, her eyes resolute. "I'll think about it carefully. But no matter the outcome, I want to know the truth and make sure the murderer who harmed me receives the punishment he deserves."

Yu Mengxi chimed in, "That's right, bad people must be punished by law."

Xia Yichu smiled slightly, "I believe the truth may be delayed, but it will never be absent. Miss Jiang, whatever decision you make, I respect it."

Jiang Jinning took a deep breath. "Okay, thank you, Miss Xia. We'll be going now."

"it is good"

The two had only taken two steps when Xia Zhiheng pulled up in front of them. Xia Zhiheng got out of the car, his expression serious.

"Miss Jiang, please come inside with me. I have something to say to you."

Xia Zhiheng didn't have time to ask Jiang Jinning why she was there; the sperm test results were unexpected and confusing.

Jiang Jinning looked at him warily, and Yu Mengxi stepped forward and asked, "What do you want?"

Xia Zhiheng glanced at Xia Yichu, wondering why she was near her grandparents' house with Jiang Jinning.

"The sperm test results are in. Let's go to my grandparents' house and tell them."

"it is good"

Jiang Jinning looked unwell, so Yu Mengxi answered for him. The group walked towards Grandpa and Grandma Xia's house. No one was in the living room; Su Qingyan was in the kitchen cooking some porridge for Grandma Xia, while Grandpa and Grandma Xia were in their room.

Su Qingyan heard Xia Zhiheng's voice from the kitchen and came out to see what was going on. She saw that not only Xia Zhiheng and Xia Yichu were there, but Jiang Jinning and Yu Mengxi were also there.

"Qingyan"

"sister in law"

Su Qingyan looked at them curiously and asked, "Why are you back again?"

Before Yu Mengxi and Jiang Jinning could speak, Xia Zhiheng asked first, "Qingyan, where are Grandpa and Grandma?"

"They are resting in their room."

"Okay, everyone, please sit down! Let's sit down and talk."

Xia Zhiheng wanted to talk to Jiang Jinning first, and then go in to talk to his grandparents later.

Everyone sat down, and Xia Zhiheng didn't keep them in suspense and started speaking directly.

"Ms. Jiang, the sperm test results are in. The sperm in your body is not my brother Xia Zhiqian's."

"Impossible, how could that be?"

Jiang Jinning stared wide-eyed in shock, and Yu Mengxi's face was also filled with disbelief. Not to mention them, Xia Yichu was also extremely shocked.

"Whose could it be?"

Yu Mengxi asked anxiously. Xia Zhiheng shook his head, "It's not clear yet. We've only confirmed that it wasn't Zhiqian's. We'll have to wait for the investigation to find out the rest."

Xia Yichu fell into deep thought. What was Yang Yunxia up to? Her actions were truly unfathomable.

Jiang Jinning was somewhat out of control. If it wasn't Xia Zhiqian, who was it that night? And why was Xia Zhiqian lying next to her when she woke up in the morning?

"How could this happen? Who else was there that night?"

She cried in anguish, and Yu Mengxi quickly went over to hug and comfort her.

"Xiao Ning, no matter who it is, it's not your fault."

"Waaaaah... Xixi, why are you doing this to me? What did I do wrong?"

The thought of spending a night with two men was devastating to her.
