Jian Fan chuckled, "I didn't expect the flaw to be here. Miss Jiang, you are indeed exceptionally meticulous and wise!"
Jiang Ling smiled, "Actually, at this stage, I hadn't yet suspected you as the mastermind, because people's actions always have a purpose."
"The person behind this grand scheme using An Qiuyan couldn't have been acting without a clear objective, nor would they intentionally create trouble for themselves. But no matter how I thought about it, I couldn't fathom their motive."
"It wasn't until all the unfavorable evidence pointed towards Jiang Yushuang, forcing her hand to reveal her identity and her marital relationship with you, that I finally confirmed that the true manipulator hiding in the shadows was indeed you!"
Jian Fan furrowed his brow, "Since you know she is my wife, how did you conclude it was me? I don't understand."
Jiang Ling raised her eyebrows and said unhurriedly, "What is there not to understand? Knowing your marital relationship with Jiang Yushuang not only confirmed you as the manipulator but also allowed me to guess your motive."
"Oh?" Jian Fan's lips curved. "What is my motive?"
Jiang Ling slowly spoke two words, "Publicity!"
Upon hearing this, Jian Fan was initially stunned, then burst into laughter, "You truly are an exceptionally intelligent woman!"
His words were clearly an admission of Jiang Ling's guess.
In fact, besides the two flaws mentioned above, there was another reason why Jiang Ling was able to uncover the truth behind it all.
Jiang Ling had followed the original novel in her past life and had reached the end.
Suddenly, she saw a news report: Jian Family's eldest young master, while driving his secretly married wife on an outing, accidentally collided with a tanker truck, causing a fire.
Jian Fan, as the husband, could have opened the car door and escaped. However, seeing his wife's lower body trapped in the wreckage, unable to move, and with the flames rapidly spreading, he abandoned his chance of survival. Resolutely, he embraced his wife and perished in the inferno.
At that time, many readers with unconventional values criticized him for being unfilial, arguing that with both parents alive, he would throw away his life for a woman, causing his parents to mourn the loss of their child.
Jiang Ling, however, felt he was a good man.
When the car accident and fire occurred simultaneously, he forgot everything else, only knowing that he was his wife's husband.
He wasn't fearless of death, but the thought of a future without her was more agonizing and unbearable than death itself.
A hundred years of chance encounters to share a boat, a thousand years of destiny to sleep in the same bed.
Husband and wife are meant to share hardships, and follow each other through life and death.
To be together in life, and share the same grave in death – this is the most beautiful blessing for a marriage.
Upon learning that Jiang Yushuang was the Jian Fan's secretly married wife, who was not even mentioned by name in the novel, she understood everything.
Generally, there are two reasons for couples to keep their marriage a secret.
First, workplaces that prohibit office romances to prevent the leakage of commercial secrets.
Second, the man is promiscuous and unwilling to give up the entire forest for one tree, thus domineeringly demanding that his wife conceal their marriage and not make it public, so that he can continue his improper relationships with his mistresses.
As the eldest son of the richest man, Jian Fan himself was the head of the company, holding absolute power. Office romance restrictions were nonexistent for him.
He loved his wife so dearly that he would never ask her to hide their marriage for the sake of infidelity.
At this moment, Jiang Ling realized that she had transmigrated into a world constructed by a novel.
Besides these two situations, there existed a third possibility.
