Chapter 84 I owe her a life, so I must save Ping An's life

Wen Luzhong laughed sarcastically, "Why would Mr. Chu care so much about a woman you despise so much?"

Chu Li narrowed his eyes and said, "Shut up."

Seeing that time was dragging on, Mrs. Chu was afraid that Chu Li would quit after knowing the truth, so she simply said, "Qin Xingwan is here. I invited her here."

Chu Li turned to look at Madam Chu and asked calmly, "Where is she?"

Chu Li knew his mother well, and he thought the so-called invitation was probably a trick.

Mrs. Chu hesitated and refused to say anything.

She didn't dare say it.

But Chu Li's gaze was filled with a strong sense of oppression, which was really terrifying.

Besides, the whispers around her were enough to crush her self-esteem as Mrs. Chu.

She could only point in the direction of the second floor and said, "There."

Chu Li looked in the direction she pointed.

What he saw was a face that was already covered in tears.

His Adam's apple rolled twice, and he felt very sore.

She stood there and witnessed the whole process, so naturally she heard what he said.

"Xingwan." He murmured and wanted to go over, but Cheng Mingzhu held him tightly in place.

He could only watch Wen Luzhong go upstairs and pick her up.

Until she went downstairs, her expression was cold and calm, as if the tears on her face just now were just an illusion.

"Xingwan." He called her subconsciously.

Qin Xingwan tilted her head slightly, chuckled and offered her blessing, "Happy engagement."

She walked out with the support of Wen Luzhong.

That thin figure was getting farther and farther away.

Chu Li looked at it, and the wrinkles between his brows deepened.

Mrs. Chu glanced at the people around her who were watching the show, pulled her son's sleeve, and felt quite aggrieved.

"Mom really just invited her to your engagement party. Other than that, I didn't do anything to her. Trust me and complete this engagement properly, okay?"

Chu Li mercilessly pushed his mother's hand away and looked at Cheng Mingzhu with a gloomy face: "I remember I warned you that there would be no more than three times the limit."

This is exactly the third time.

"It's none of my business." Cheng Mingzhu panicked.

She reached out to pull Chu Li's arm and pleaded cautiously: "Ali, this is really none of my business."

Mrs. Chu also helped to speak well of him.

Chu Li's patience ran out. What he needed was a worry-free and obedient wife, not a woman like Cheng Mingzhu who didn't know her own worth.

She had exhausted his patience over and over again.

"I'll call Uncle Cheng and cancel the engagement."

He instructed Assistant Wu to clean up the scene and left immediately.

Qin Xingwan did not pay attention to the subsequent engagement ceremony.

She was taken to a nearby coffee shop by Wen Luzhong.

Wen Luzhong ordered a cup of hot cocoa for her, "Sorry, I thought he would change his mind."

I didn't expect to hurt Qin Xingwan.

Qin Xingwan held the hot cocoa, lost in thought.

Wen Luzhong stopped talking and let her digest the negative emotions on her own.

It was unknown how long it took before her curled eyelashes trembled and her stiff movements became soft.

"Go back." she whispered.

Wen Luzhong pulled her back and asked gently, "Xingwan, can you tell me about Ping An's mother?"

Only two people who love each other can have children. He thought that he must have loved her in the past.

Qin Xingwan closed her eyes, held the hot cocoa with trembling fingers and took a sip.

She said slowly, "She is a very gentle girl. Because her family favors boys over girls, she has lived with her grandparents since she was very young."

"From childhood to adulthood, she has been ridiculed, bullied, and even bullied, but she has always been positive and optimistic. Later, she met you."

"You helped her a lot. You fell in love with each other. Later, she became pregnant with your child. On the eve of the birth, you said you wanted to go home. Later, she gave birth safely. Half a month later, a flower shop in town caught fire and she burned to death. You never showed up."

Those past events can be described in just a few words, far less than the despair and powerlessness I felt at that time.

Whenever she thinks of it now, the scene of the raging fire appears before her eyes.

That fire changed her life.

A woman wearing a white dress and a sun hat appeared in Wen Luzhong's mind, but he couldn't see her face clearly.

Qin Xingwan looked down at the coffee cup, her eyes moist. "After she died, I went to the hospital to look for the child, and only then did I know that the child had been taken away by you. I don't know why you suddenly took the child away, and how you lost your memory."

"I don't want to know about that either. I just want to take care of Ping An. That was her last wish."

"I owe her my life, so I have to save Ping An's life."

So even if Chu Li looked down on her, she had to return to Chu Li and seek a glimmer of hope for Wen Ping'an.

Qin Xingwan said just a few words, and Wen Luxin's sadness seemed to be about to overflow.

Even if the memory is forgotten, the unforgettable pain still echoes in the bones and blood.

"What's her name?" he asked, clenching his fist.

"Name?" Qin Xingwan murmured these two words, "You will know it later."

…

Chu Li returned to the North City Villa.

The servant came up and took his suit jacket, "Miss Qin is in the room."

Chu Li was stunned for a moment, "She's back?"

He thought... he thought she would never come here again.

Unable to suppress the joy in his heart, he hurried upstairs, paused briefly in front of the door, and pushed it open with a faint expression.

Qin Xingwan was leaning against the head of the bed reading a book. When she heard the sound, she just looked up and glanced, then lowered her head again.

Chu Li walked over, leaned over and kissed her.

Qin Xingwan did not refuse, and even took the initiative to cooperate by hooking her arms around his neck and kissing him.

Chu Li refused to continue. He left her lips, pinched her chin, and stared at her fair face.

"So proactive?"

This is not her style.

After three years of marriage, she has never been able to let go, let alone take the initiative in bed.

Qin Xingwan tilted her head and chuckled: "You want me to reject you coldly? I can act that too."

Chu Li felt a pain in his heart as if it was pulled.

She said very frankly that she was acting.

The next sentence seemed to be saying that she could act out any look he liked.

Chu Li lost interest. He sat on the edge of the bed with a bad look on his face.

Qin Xingwan pulled up the clothes that had slipped off her shoulders and said calmly, "I want to go to the hospital to accompany Ping An. If you need anything, you can call me anytime."

Perhaps it was his words at the engagement party that made her completely open-minded, and she took the initiative to put herself in that embarrassing position.

Chu Li stared at her for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed, his tone particularly sarcastic. "Wen Luzhong also said that you are not Wen Ping'an's biological mother. Look at you, how do you not look like a mother?"

She was thinking of Wen Ping'an all the time, and the child looked a bit like her.

He was still upset about that incident.

Qin Xingwan actually had nothing much to say. The paternity test was right there, but he thought it was fake. What was the point of saying more?

She took the book back in her hand and said, "If you don't want to, forget it."
