Chapter 256 Liar
Wen Lan sat on the sofa in a daze, like a lifeless puppet.
Xie Yansheng took out a cigarette and just put it to his lips, but her flat belly stabbed his heart and he threw the cigarette into the trash can.
She was obviously pregnant with someone else's child, and he could just stand by and watch, but he couldn't bear to do it.
"Thank you." Wen Lan looked at Xie Yansheng sincerely, "How much did the cemetery cost? I will transfer it to you immediately."
"Don't you often laugh at me for being stingy with you? Just consider that piece of cemetery as my filial piety to my former mother-in-law." Xie Yansheng frowned.
She closed her burning eyes, leaned back on the sofa, and sighed.
"Instead of living without dignity, leaving is also a kind of relief." Xie Yansheng stood in front of the window with his back to her, stunned for a moment, "I'm curious, why did Wen Jinyin hide your mother in Qihe for so many years?"
She laughed bitterly, "You should know it best."
"The first time we went to bed, Wen Jinyin used your mother as a bargaining chip."
Xie Yansheng knew that she was controlled by Wen Jinyin, but she didn't expect that the bargaining chip was her own mother!
"Our marriage is a trap set by Wen Jinyin. You obviously don't want to join the game, but for your mother, you have to cooperate with Wen Jinyin and make profits for him and the Wen family." Xie Yansheng bit his thin lips and lowered his eyes in pain.
"With your intelligence, you knew I had ulterior motives when I climbed into your bed for the first time, why did you--" Wen Lan didn't say anything more.
Xie Yansheng laughed dryly without comment, "I want to ask, which man would push away a woman who took the initiative to stick to him?"
This answer is very consistent with Xie Yansheng's temperament.
Wen Lan took a deep breath and adjusted her mood. "I have wasted a lot of your time. Go do something else. I will stay in Meicheng for a few more days."
"Wen Lan." Xie Yansheng's tone suddenly became serious. "Why didn't you tell me about this?"
"Why didn't I tell you?" She felt a pang of pain in her heart. "Before the first month of our marriage, you went to the club to find a woman! For two years, you have never shown me the trust that a husband should have from head to toe. How do you want me to explain to you?"
Xie Yansheng's tired eyes reflected a trace of scarlet. "I went out to find a woman. Have you never thought about the reasons for yourself? On the third night of our marriage, whose name did you call?"
After going around and around, it came back to this bloody thing!
Wen Lan didn't have the energy and mind to argue with him anymore, so she chose to remain silent.
At this time, there was a knock on the door. It was the takeaway boy who came to deliver the food.
Xie Yansheng put a few lunch boxes on the table, opened the door and went to the next room.
Wen Lan had no appetite, so she sat on the sofa.
There were dozens of missed calls on the silent phone, most of which were from Zhou Qiao and Jiang Jingci.
She cheered up and sent a WeChat message to Zhou Qiao, saying that she was busy and couldn't call back, and she would be back in Jiangcheng next week.
Zhou Qiao's phone called immediately.
After ringing twice in a row, she clicked the answer button and said "Hello" in a hoarse voice.
"What's wrong, Qiaoqiao? Your voice has changed. Do you have a cold?" Zhou Qiao asked anxiously, "Where are you now?"
"Not in Jiangcheng." Wen Lan had no desire to talk, "I'll talk when I get back."
"Are you okay? Where are you now?" Zhou Qiao heard that she was not right and continued to ask.
"I'm fine, but I can't go back to Jiangcheng this week. You should pay more attention to the store." Wen Lan hung up the phone after she finished speaking.
The call rang again, and she saw that it was Wen Jinyin, so she quickly swiped it open.
"Congratulations, you finally found your mother after all the hardships." Wen Jinyin's mocking laugh hurt her eardrums.
"Wen Jinyin, you liar! For eight years, you have been saying that my mother is receiving the best treatment in the United States, but you left her to fend for herself in a small county sanatorium!" She cried.
"If you didn't say that, why would you marry Xie Yansheng?" Wen Jinyin laughed without any guilt, "If you don't marry Xie Yansheng, how can Wen's company develop?"
"I'll remember this debt, Wen Jinyin, as long as I have a breath, I will never let you go!" Wen Lan's voice was filled with bone-chilling hatred and cruelty.
"I'll wait and see." Wen Jinyin deliberately sighed, "I want to know, are you going to let Xie Yansheng or Jiang Jingci deal with me?"
Wen Lan's heart ached so much that she hung up the phone.
This was a matter between her and Wen Jinyin, and had nothing to do with Xie Yansheng, and even less with Jiang Jingci.
That night, she had nightmares.
When she closed her eyes, she saw Ji Minxin's pale face...
She woke up to Xie Yansheng's knock on the door.
She opened the door, and Xie Yansheng came in with two insulated lunch boxes and put them on the table, then opened the curtains.
The sunlight outside shone in, and her red and swollen eyes felt uncomfortable, so she quickly reached out to block it.
Xie Yansheng hurriedly pulled the curtains back to their original position.
She picked up her phone and looked at it. It was already 11:30 in the afternoon.
The two fell into silence.
She was the first to bring up the topic, "I will stay in Meicheng for a few days. You go and do your own things, don't worry about me."
"Don't mind my business." Xie Yansheng's voice was dim, and a few considerate words came to his lips and were swallowed.
Because he saw her belly again.
She was pregnant with her child with another man!
At this time, Wen Lan also thought of the child in her belly. She could not eat, but the child could not.
She pulled aside the curtains, went to the bathroom, washed her hands, opened the thermos box, and called Xie Yansheng, "If you haven't eaten yet, let's eat together."
"I've eaten." Xie Yansheng said in a distant tone.
In fact, she had been having acid in her stomach since yesterday and had no appetite, but she forced herself to eat for the sake of the baby in her belly.
After Ji Minxin passed away, she completely forgot her identity as a pregnant woman, washed and dressed Ji Minxin, and personally pushed Ji Minxin into the cremation room with the funeral home staff.
There has always been a saying in Jiangcheng that pregnant women cannot get close to dying or dead people, saying that the yin energy on them is not good for the fetus.
Ji Minxin is her mother and her only relative in this world. She is just doing what a child should do.
She firmly believes that Ji Minxin's spirit in heaven will definitely protect the baby in her belly!
While she was worried and self-blaming, she quietly comforted herself.
After drinking a bowl of porridge, she simply cleaned up the table and looked at Xie Yansheng who had been silent.
"I'm going to the cemetery and need to change clothes. Can you go outside to hide?"
"What's so good about a pregnant woman!" Xie Yansheng snorted and went to the next door.
When Wen Lan changed her clothes and walked out of the room, she saw Xie Yansheng waiting for her at the elevator entrance.
She didn't refuse and went downstairs with Xie Yansheng.
They waited for a taxi at the hotel entrance.
Wen Lan got on the back seat, and to her surprise, Xie Yansheng sat next to her.
The taxi driver started the engine, and Xie Yansheng's cell phone suddenly rang.
Wen Lan saw An Zhen's name flashing on it from the corner of her eyes.
