“He is acting way too overboard. How can Zheng Weiqian be like this? What does he take the Lin family for? It’s simply…..” Back in the ward, Chen Hanyin angrily spurted out.
Lun Xuanxuan sat on her hospital bed and leaned back against the wall. She was completely indifferent by her mother’s anger as if she hadn’t heard it and looked out the window.
Chen Hanyin had been cursing for a long time but didn’t get any response. She turned and saw her daughter’s indifferent expression. She couldn’t help but get angrier as she yelled, “Say something. What does Zheng Weiqian mean by this, what right does he have to treat you like this?”
Lin Xuanxuan faintly turned her head and revealed a bitter smile as if mocking herself, “What he said is right. He only agreed to marry me because of the child. You should’ve already known that there was no child in the first place. All of this was just a plan that I concocted to get him to marry me.”
“Then did you and him…..” Chen Hanyin’s voice faltered.
“Sleep together?” Lin Xuanxuan finished her sentence. She faintly smiled but her eyes are filled with loneliness and despair. She turned her head and looked out the window as if she was talking to herself, “Everyone thought that we slept together, even him. But who knew that when I stripped myself naked and lied next to him, he didn’t touch me at all.”
“You….what you’re saying is….” If the person who said this wasn’t her own daughter, Chen Hanyin wouldn’t have believed it.
Lin Xuanxuan wasn’t surprised by her mother’s disbelief. She still remembered that night when she took off her clothes and for the first time in her life, took the initiative to hug him. Then she kissed him. The kiss started out as intense but as she was getting addicted to his sweetness, he pushed her away and said in confusion, “No, you’re not Fang Yan. Fang Yan doesn’t taste like this. You’re not her…..you’re not. Leave….leave…..”
After that, even though he was drunk that night, he still maintained a distance from her. But she didn’t stop because of this. She called her assistant to release this news to the press. She believes that after this night, as long as the news spread, then she got him. Her plan went smoothly. The news spread quickly the next day. Everyone knows, this is exactly what she wanted.
Everything went according to her plan. A month and a half after that incident, she created a way for her to seem pregnant and lied to him, lie to everyone. Very smoothly, they got engaged, with their wedding set two months later.
Se thought that Fang Yan’s existence was what hindered their development. Now that Fang Yan left and there is a misunderstanding between her and Zheng Weiqian, there are no more obstacles between them and they can go further. However, in the past two months, they grew further apart. They became more like strangers than before they got engaged. Except for when they have to put up a show, they barely had any contact. If he doesn't have a meeting, he is working overtime.
It was that day when the car accident happened that she understood one thing. No matter what kinds of means or methods she used, she was not destined to attract his gaze or his love. It was like this even before Fang Yan appeared and it will be like this in the future too. Because of this, she wondered if she should let him go.
“You….how can you be so stupid!” Chen Hanyin sighed. She really doesn’t know what to say.
“I made a gamble and lost everything.” Lin Xuanxuan leaned against the bed frame and closed her eyes.
“No, Fang Yan must leave. If it weren’t for her, you and Zheng Weiqian wouldn’t be like this.” Chen Hanyin paced back and forth thinking of a plan.
“Mom, what are you going to do then? Use money?” Lin Xuanxuan opened her eyes and smiled.
Chen Hanyin glanced at her and said, “Whether it is money or something else, she must go. Before it was her mother, that she is destroying your life. Do we owe them something? No, there is nothing like that.” Chen Hanyin significant increased her volume.
“Grandma won’t allow you to do that.” She closed her eyes again.
“What do you mean?” Chen Hanyin stared at her and sat on the bed. Old Madame won’t agree? Why wouldn’t she agree? She remembered that the Old Madame used this method before.
“Mom, the woman dad fell in love with that year was Fang Yu right? She is also Fang Yan’s mother?” Lin Xuanxuan suddenly asked.
“You….why are you suddenly asking this…..” Chen Hanyin didn’t expect her to suddenly ask this. She seemed to be uncomfortable with this question.
Lin Xuanxuan had no intention of pursuing the details of her parent’s past relationship. She continued, “Fang Yan and I are born in the same year and are also a month older than me. I heard that when you were pregnant with me, dad was already with that woman.”
Fang Yan and Lin Xuanxuan are born in the same year and are even a month older than her. Then doesn’t that mean…..how is that possible!!
Chen Hanyin looked at her daughter incredulously hoping that she can see the joke on her face.
“It is exactly as how you think it is. Fang Yan is also a Lin.” Lin Xuanxuan’s word destroyed the only hope in her heart.
Chen Hanyin was somewhat overwhelmed by the sudden news. She stammered, “How...how can this be, maybe, maybe she is another man’s daughter, that type of woman, who, who knows what she did that year.”
“Because of this, granny secretly took a paternity test to prove that Fang Yan is indeed a member of the Lin family.”
“Old Madame already knew?” Chen Hanyin suspiciously asked, “Then how did you know?”
“I saw the DNA report.” Lin Xuanxuan frankly said.
After a while, Chen Hanyin asked again, “What is the Old Madame going to do?”
“Maintain the status quo. She’s not going to recognize her but she will make it up to her in some other way.” Lin Xuanxuan paused, “Like my marriage.”
Chen Hanyin secretly pondered in her heart. If Fang Yan is really a Lin, then she would have to leave. How can she tolerate her? This seems more than just for Xuanxuan’s sake. The grievances caused by Fang Yu toward her that year seemed to have continued on to her.
Inside the hospital ward, the two people have stopped talking. Lin Xuanxuan is really tired. She laid down in bed and rest. Chen Hanyin had on a heavy expression as she ponders about something.
No one noticed the figure standing outside the door who came and went. No one knew when he had come or how much he had heard.
