For three years of marriage, Wen Liang failed to warm Fu Zheng's heart. When his first love returned, all she received was a divorce paper.
"If I had our child, would you still choose...
Chapter 548 Xie Mu's Doubts
Fu Zheng smiled and asked, "Why is it a twisted logic?"
Wen Liang said, "Tang found out the truth a week late!"
This week, she and Yan Huai happened to go to H City. It was said to be a business trip, but it was more like a honeymoon trip. How could it be said that it had no impact?
What if Tang Shishi knew the truth a week ago, she could have kicked Yan Huai out without hesitation, and their relationship warmed up within a week, but she is hesitating now?
Since Yan Huai knew that his identity would be exposed after returning from his business trip, he would definitely do something.
Maybe when they were in H City, they had already turned their fake play into reality.
"If she doesn't like Yan Huai, it won't matter when she knows the truth. On the contrary, if she likes Yan Huai, even if she knows it early, she will compromise under Yan Huai's offensive. Do you think she likes Yan Huai?"
Wen Liang: “…”
Yan Huai proposed a marriage agreement, and his clear intention was written on his face, but Tang Shishi still agreed. She must have liked him in her heart.
Wen Liang sighed helplessly, "How could it be such a coincidence?! Yan Huai is actually Ilia's brother, and Tang clearly told me that he is not mixed-blood."
"It is said that when Madam Xie passed away, Mrs. Wilson was pregnant and brought her one-year-old son, Yan Huai, to Jiangcheng to attend the funeral. She was overwhelmed with grief and gave birth prematurely. Coincidentally, there was a fire in the hospital at the time, and in the chaos, Yan Huai got lost. He was later adopted by an old farmer in Jiangcheng."
Wen Liang raised an eyebrow. "Even if Mrs. Wilson was giving birth, with the Xie family's wealth, Yan Huai wouldn't be left unattended. How could he get lost? Moreover, how could the hospital catch fire at that time?"
Hospitals are always places where people come and go, so a fire is totally inappropriate. Moreover, Mr. Xie's status back then was not inferior to Xie Zhen's today. It is even more inappropriate that a leader's family is admitted to the hospital.
"This matter is indeed strange. It's reasonable to suspect that it was done by the Xie family's enemies back then. However, the Xie family will handle it. It's been a long time, so don't dwell on it."
"oh."
…
After Sunday, the intimacy between Tang Shishi and Yan Huai during their business trip disappeared, and they returned to their previous estrangement.
On Tuesday, Tang Shishi went on a business trip to S City. This time, she would join the crew to work, which would take at least two months.
When Tang's mother asked her about it, she said it was due to work needs and she had no choice.
Yan Huai did not chase after him.
He didn't want to push her too hard.
At the set, Tang Shishi's assistant was curious, "Sister Tang, don't you always dislike being with crews? Why did you accept the invitation this time?"
She heard from Sister Tang that Sister Tang had also joined a film crew in her early years. Her working hours had to coincide with the shooting schedule, which was too tiring and uncomfortable, and the hours were too long, so she later stopped accepting contracts from film crews.
I was about to turn it down this time, but Sister Tang suddenly agreed!
Besides, Sister Tang just got married not long ago!
Tang Shishi: "I haven't answered it in a long time. I heard this book is good and I want to give it a try."
The assistant laughed and said, "Sister Tang, whenever you were on a business trip before, your brother-in-law would follow you. This time, you'll be on the crew for two or three months, so your brother-in-law must be missing you to death."
Tang Shishi: “…”
She pretended not to hear and turned to do other things.
The assistant just thought she was shy.
On the first day of filming, Tang Shishi received a bouquet of flowers, including large roses, tulips, baby's breath, and eucalyptus leaves.
There was also a hard greeting card in the middle of the bouquet, printed with a gold-stamped rose pattern, and a few words written in vigorous pen handwriting on it: To my master of art.
The handwriting was obviously Yan Huai's.
His handwriting was beautiful when he was in high school, but it still revealed a sense of immaturity.
But now, the handwriting is strong and upright, solemn and resolute, just like a fully-fledged eagle.
Most of the makeup artists in the group were familiar with Tang Shishi, had worked together before, and had all attended her wedding banquet, so they joked, "Oh, oh, oh, it's only been a few days, and you can't bear to leave."
"I heard that Shishi's husband is her high school classmate. How enviable!"
"Just smell it, this dressing room is filled with the sour smell of love."
"Shishi, you joined the crew right after getting married, wouldn't your husband mind?"
"You're stupid. If you minded, you wouldn't have sent me flowers."
Tang Shishi: “…”
She had no intention of letting outsiders know about her current relationship with Yan Huai, nor did she want to be nice to Yan Huai, so she found an opportunity to throw the flowers into the trash can, took a photo, and sent it to Yan Huai.
Yan Huai did not reply.
The next day, Tang Shishi received another bouquet of flowers.
The flowers are of different types, but they are all beautiful and fresh and blooming.
There was also a greeting card in the flowers. The content of the card was the same as last time, but it was obviously handwritten.
Tang Shishi was teased by her colleagues again and felt complicated.
Tang Shishi found a chance to throw it away, took another photo and sent it to Yan Huai.
Yan Huai still didn't reply, but he kept sending flowers.
As the number of such visits increased, colleagues gradually calmed down and could only sigh helplessly, "Shishi, your husband is so good to you. He wouldn't always send you off until the filming was finished, would he?"
After returning to the hotel, Tang Shishi sent a WeChat message to Yan Huai, "Don't send flowers. If you really want to send flowers, just transfer the money to me directly."
Yan Huai: "..."
So the next day, when Tang Shishi finished her work, she saw Yan Huai transferred 498 yuan to her with the note: For my art master (voluntary gift).
Tang Shishi: “…”
It was time for another prenatal checkup, and Fu Zheng accompanied Wen Liang to the hospital.
While waiting for the results in the corridor rest area, Wen Liang accidentally caught a glimpse of an acquaintance.
"Thank you, Miss?"
Hearing the voice, Xie Mu turned around and saw Wen Liang's belly slightly showing. He said, "Miss Wen? You are here for a prenatal checkup, right? Congratulations..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of Fu Zheng next to her, and her heart started beating in her throat.
Fu Zheng glanced at her indifferently and then looked away, as if he didn't know her.
Wen Liang smiled, "Thank you..."
She wanted to ask how Xie Mu was feeling, but then she thought, this is the gynecology department, Xie Mu would not come here for no reason, and Fu Zheng was next to them, so it would be presumptuous to ask.
So, she changed the subject, "What a coincidence, we're meeting again tomorrow. Your cousin gave birth. Have you been to see her?"
Xie Mu was stunned. "What do you mean? Minmin gave birth? So soon?"
Now Wen Liang was the one who was surprised. "Why? Don't you know? Didn't Third Brother and Xie Min inform you?"
Xie Mu shook his head, looking bewildered. "No, maybe they told my dad, and he forgot to tell me."
Fu Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at Xie Mu, a hint of deep thought flashing in his eyes.
"That's possible." Wen Liang smiled, "The baby was one month old the day before yesterday, and we'll have a full-month banquet at Jumanlou tomorrow."
"Tomorrow, I might not be able to go. I'll see if I can ask the teacher for leave..."
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Wen Liang, Xie Mu quickly left.
Fu Zheng's oppressive feeling was too strong, and she didn't want to see him at all.
Whenever she saw Fu Zheng, she would think of what happened that night...
And her child who didn't make it into this world alive.
Suddenly, Xie Mu stopped and a dark light flashed in his mind.
Xie Min's baby was one month old the day before yesterday. She gave birth to a stillborn baby exactly one month ago.
Her child was not full-term and was born prematurely. Considering the time Xie Min and Fu Sheng had been together, it must have been a premature birth as well.
Xie Min gave birth to a child but didn't tell her.
Could it be a coincidence?
Xie Mu returned home and specifically asked Boss Xie, who looked bewildered. "What did you say? Minmin has given birth? Your second uncle didn't tell me!"
Xie Mu felt even more doubtful.
