Chapter 148: Yujie Discovers the Surveillance Video (1)
This music box was quite special to his mother.
It had been here for several years. If he remembered correctly, it had been a gift from his dead grandfather. He had given it to He Yan before he had passed away.
Whilst playing with the music box, Jian Yujie opened a small compartment. A USB drive fell out of the music box.
Jian Yujie picked up the USB out of curiosity.
As Jian Yujie was quite curious about the contents of the USB, he inserted it onto another laptop next to him.
After opening the USB, he discovered that there was only a video inside.
However, Jian Yujie was shocked as soon as he saw the contents of the video.
The people that were in the video were Jian Yiling and Jian Yunnao!
They had been quarreling at the top of the stairs. Could it be…
The surveillance video soon came to the scene where Jian Yunnao had fallen down from the stairs.
From the video, Jian Yujie could clearly see that Jian Yunnao had fallen down the stairs by himself. Although Jian Yiling tried to pull him back up, she couldn’t grab onto him in time.
Jian Yujie was in way too much shock. He stared at the computer screen and didn’t know what to do.
“What are you doing?”
He Yan walked over to see what her son was doing. When she saw that Jian Yujie was watching the surveillance video she had hidden, she had rushed forward and unplugged the USB from the computer instantly.
“Who told you to touch my things?!”
He Yan yelled at Jian Yujie.
The reason why He Yan had kept the video was to blackmail Jian Yunnao on a later date.
The more that this incident ruined Jian Yiling now, the more guilt Jian Yunnao would feel when she eventually showed the surveillance video to him.
However, Jian Yujie had accidentally discovered the surveillance.
“Mother, this video can prove Yiling’s innocence! Give me the video! I’m going to show my uncle and everyone else in the family! I want them to know that Yiling is innocent!”
Jian Yujie’s expression was excited and anxious at the same time.
He Yan squeezed the USB in her hand. She willed herself to calm down.
“Yujie, I can’t hand you this video. Furthermore, I definitely will not be handing this video to your uncle.” He Yan said with a quiet voice. Her expression was stone cold.
“Why?”
“No reason. The matter has already been settled. Just pretend that you didn’t see this video.”
“But this video can prove Yiling’s innocence! How can I pretend I didn’t see it? Mother, what are you doing?!”
Jian Yujie didn’t understand the logic behind his mother’s actions.
“Why are you asking so many questions? Just listen to me!”
“No! Mother, I’m begging you! Please give me the video. I need to show it to everyone else!”
“Jian Yujie. I am your mother. Do you not understand the words I’m saying?”
“Yes. I don’t understand. I don’t understand why you would do such a thing. What good does this do for you…? Yiling has never harmed us in any way. Nor has her family! This video can help them! But instead, you’re hiding it. I really don’t understand…”
Jian Yujie started to yell as well. His eyes turned red as tears welled up in his eyes.
This was the first time that he had ever spoken to his mother in such a manner.
No matter how much he and his mother had disagreed about his future, they had never argued so fiercely before.
This was his mother. She was the one who had raised him. He had always respected her. Even though she was strict with him at times, he had never resented her.
However, now, she was doing something that he couldn’t understand. He couldn’t accept such a thing.
He Yan shouted back at him: “Yeah, their family hasn’t harmed us yet. However, how can you guarantee that they won’t in the future? Your grandparents are so biased towards Jian Yiling. You can see how much they love their granddaughter. Furthermore, they also adore Jian Yuncheng. In the future, everything the Jian family has right now will be theirs! There will be nothing remaining for us!”
