The CEO's Woman

Chapter 305 Betrayed

Jiang Yue sobbed on Wang Ruo’s chest unceasingly, as the latter held her daughter in silence, stroking her back. Wang Ruo watched as one by one, the walls surrounding Jiang Yue heart fell, tumbling down, crashing into waves of an emotional puddle.

"I’m sorry." Again, Wang Ruo mumbled, whispering into her daughter’s ear. She should have done it earlier. Yet, she knew, she couldn’t do that. She needed to be careful and be aware of their surroundings.

Wang Ruo knew that someone close to her had tried to kill her, almost killing Jiang Yue in the process. And it was the main reason she did not want anyone else to know that she was alive. She still needed to find out, who was the traitor. She needed to keep her daughter safe.

Wang Ruo initially thought that she could just stay hidden, away from the prying eyes. She was planning to just watch over Jiang Yue. Yet, Li Qiang chose to visit her daughter. Because of that, she was forced to find a way to get closer to her daughter as Long Die.

Then, Jiang Yue decided to go to M Country. This time, Wang Ruo couldn’t ignore the danger anymore. She couldn’t just watch her daughter deliver herself into the lion’s den. She needed to stop it. Stop her.

She originally thought that going with Jiang Yue was enough since she was unable to change her mind. But when she saw her sad expression, as Jiang Yue watched the live footage of Li Qiang’s mansion, was her last straw. As a mother, she couldn’t let her daughter feel that pain because of her anymore.

Wang Ruo felt Jiang Yue clutch her dress, not wanting to let her go. She immediately hugged her daughter tighter, letting her know that she was not going anywhere. She was here to stay with her.

Jiang Yue’s shoulders trembled and her chest heaved with emotion. She was in her mother’s arms. Her tears continued spilling her cheeks, releasing the sadness and sorrow that she had held inside her during these years. She missed her... she missed her mother.

So, this was how it felt... Jiang Yue once wondered what would she do if she found out that her mother was alive and was with Li Qiang. Would she cry? Would she laugh and celebrate that her mother was alive? Then, she thought about the things that she would do once she found out that she was not alive. She vowed not to cry, she had already cried enough when her mother died. So, what was the point of doing it again?

Yet, when she saw that her mother was not in Li Qiang’s mansion, she felt an intense, deep sadness. She felt disappointed.

Dry, raging sobs continue echoing inside the room before it dwindled down into soft sobs.

After making sure that Jiang Yue was already calm and collected. Wang Ruo started telling her daughter about what had happened after waking up in Li Qiang’s mansion. Everything, including Jiang Mian and Wu Minxia.

The reason she was not able to contact Jiang Yue, was that Li Qiang had never allowed her near a computer alone. Even when she was talking to Jiang Mian on the webcam, Li Qiang would assign someone to watch over her.

Then, she told Jiang Yue about her escape, as well as Jiang Mian’s possible death.

"I was not able to see anyone lying in bed in Li Qiang’s mansion." Jiang Yue stated. "It could only mean that Jiang Mian is not in his mansion. Is it also possible that she is already dead."

Wang Ruo nodded. "You are right. Li Qiang is ruthless... there is no way he will not torture Jiang Mian."

Then, Wang Ruo told her why she was forced to reveal herself to Jiang Yue.

"You don’t want me to go to M Country?" she asked, making sure that she heard the right thing.

"You are right." Wang Ruo nodded.

"Why? Is it because of my father?" Jiang Yue’s bluntness was a surprise to Wang Ruo. Jiang Yue’s attitude reminded her of herself when she was at her age.

"Yes."

"And you can’t tell me more, than this?" Jiang Yue asked.

"Yes."Once again, Wang Ruo nodded.

Jiang Yue turned silent at Wang Ruo’s words. She couldn’t help but wonder, why was her mother unable to tell her who her father was. Was he the King of M Country? Jiang Yue laughed inwardly at her thoughts.

The fact that her father was putting her and her mother in danger was something Jiang Yue couldn’t fathom. Just who was he?

"One more thing," Wang Ruo interrupted her thoughts. "You can’t tell anyone about me, yet."

"Not even Grandfather and Uncle?"

Wang Ruo shook her head in response. Then, Jiang Yue asked, "Why?"

Wang Ruo took a deep breath as she stared at her daughter. "The car accident was caused by someone close to me."

"Someone has betrayed me." She added, her gaze unfathomable.
