Jiang Mi dared not say that she had given birth to her daughter because she loved him and wanted to keep his bloodline as a companion, thinking that even if she couldn't be with him, she could spend the rest of her life with his child.
As soon as Jiang Mi finished speaking, Jiang Jingxiu's hand gripped her neck, "You'd better explain everything you've done clearly, or I can't control the consequences if I find out!"
Jiang Mi's heart leaped into her throat. If he knew that she not only had a daughter for him but was also pregnant with another child, she wondered if he would cut her down with a knife.
The hand on her neck tightened. Just as she thought he was going to strangle her, Jiang Jingxiu's phone rang. The force on his hand slightly loosened as he answered the call.
Jiang Mi gasped for breath, hearing a familiar yet terrifying voice from Jiang Jingxiu's phone. It was Jiang Tian's father, the man she had called "Dad" for several years!
"Jingxiu, I heard Jiang Mi caused Tian Tian to be arrested by the police. Handle this matter for me. Get Tian Tian out of the police station and comfort her. As for Jiang Mi, teach her a lesson!" Jiang Jingren's deep voice demanded.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mi suddenly pushed Jiang Jingxiu's hand away, her expression turning furious.
Jiang Jingxiu frowned and looked at her, saying, "I can't handle this. Jiang Tian is suspected of kidnapping and attempted murder. Neither of these charges will allow me to get her out of there right now! I don't have that ability."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Tian Tian is your niece. If you don't save her, who will? You've been in Jing City for so many years, can't you handle such a small matter?" Jiang Jingren's voice turned displeased.
"I can't!" Jiang Jingxiu refused without hesitation.
"...Alright, give me the contact information of the child's parents, and I'll handle it." Jiang Jingren intended to use money to get his daughter out, believing that if the other party refused, it was simply because the money offered wasn't enough.
"She kidnapped and harmed my own daughter! Therefore, I won't let her out. Let her reflect properly inside!" Jiang Jingxiu hung up the phone and turned to glare at Jiang Mi again.
Jiang Mi was so scared she didn't dare to move. If Jiang Jingxiu had agreed to Jiang Jingren's unreasonable request just now and let Jiang Tian go, she would have fought him to the death. But he hadn't shielded Jiang Tian; instead, he wanted justice for Mian Mian. This made her spirit falter in front of him.
"Do you have a problem?" Jiang Jingxiu stared at her coldly. Jiang Mi, feeling guilty under his gaze, quickly lowered her head and said, "No! I don't dare."
She admitted that in front of him, she had always been a coward.
"Tell me about my daughter's situation!" Jiang Jingxiu took a step back and leaned against the door, crossing his arms and staring intently at her. This posture would help him judge the truthfulness of her words.
"Perhaps because I've always been in poor health, it has affected Mian Mian's health since birth. She had a kidney transplant surgery last year and her life was saved. Who knew she'd be diagnosed with leukemia this year? I'm trying to find a way to treat her." Jiang Mi didn't dare mention the bone marrow matching, fearing he might connect some dots.
"Last time Ye Wan dragged me to do a compatibility test, it was for Mian Mian?" Jiang Jingxiu was smart and immediately connected the events that had transpired.
Jiang Mi gritted her teeth and nodded, "I asked Ye Wan!"
"My match with Mian Mian was unsuccessful! So... you want to have another child to save her!" Jiang Jingxiu's eyes turned sharp, his gaze falling on her flat abdomen.
