Melissa clearly didn't believe it.
Her lips twitched slightly, but she quickly calmed down and said, "You might fool others with what you're saying, but I've worked with Ryan for so many years and I know him too well. He would never let a stranger get close to him easily, let alone have a relationship with someone casually."
Melissa looked at Xu Wan and said with even greater certainty, "You're lying to me."
"Whether you believe it or not is your right, it has nothing to do with me."
Xu Wan's tone was also very calm.
She already had a vague feeling that Melissa's presence here was not a friendly one.
They didn't seem to be there to show concern for Jiang Tingzhou; they seemed more like they were there to probe her background.
“I don’t believe you. In my opinion, you’re a complete liar.” Melissa looked at Xu Wan. “I’ve investigated your background. You must have used some underhanded means to marry your ex-husband. After that, you had a whirlwind marriage. After he passed away, you inherited a huge fortune and then used the same trick to target Ryan. You even succeeded. I have to say, you’re quite cunning.”
Melissa's tone carried a hint of disdain.
In her eyes, Xu Wan was an ordinary woman, but she managed to win over two rich and capable men in a row. What else could she be but capable?
Xu Wan asked, "What if he's drunk?"
"He drinks in moderation and never gets drunk."
Melissa's tone was more resolute. At the same time, she released Xu Wan's hand.
Xu Wan also believed that Melissa truly understood Jiang Tingzhou, otherwise she wouldn't have spoken in that tone.
Xu Wan couldn't possibly tell Melissa the truth about her relationship with Jiang Tingzhou, so she didn't say anything and turned to walk towards the ward.
Melissa stepped in front of her, saying, "You can't go see Ryan."
Although the doctor couldn't understand the two women's conversation, he could tell they were having a conflict, so he quickly tried to persuade them to talk things out in English.
"On what grounds?"
“Although I am no longer Ryan’s personal secretary, I still have an obligation to protect his safety and keep a con artist like you away from him.”
Xu Wan really didn't expect that someone would call her a female swindler!
"Am I a fraud?" Xu Wan did not prove herself. "If you have evidence, then show it, instead of making things up out of thin air. That's not good for prenatal education."
"you……"
“If you’re going to stand here until dark, then we’ll just stay here.” Xu Wan looked down at the woman’s heavily pregnant belly. “I won’t argue with you because I’ve been through ten months of pregnancy myself and I know how hard it is. You’re so far along, it must have been very tough for you. If you miscarry, all your hard work will be for nothing.”
Melissa stared intently at Xu Wan.
The woman's voice was gentle, completely different from hers, and not aggressive at all, yet it empathized with her.
Melissa remained silent for a moment, then stepped aside.
She watched Xu Wan return to the ward and noticed that her leg seemed to be injured and she was walking unsteadily.
Only then did he take out his phone and make a call.
After the call connected, she said to the person on the other end, "This woman is special. She can make people like her with just a few words. It's not surprising that Ryan would suddenly like her. But she said that they slept together first."
The man on the other end of the phone said, "I checked. When Ryan came to China, he got drunk one day. Xu Wan asked the manager for the key and then entered the room with Ying Gan's permission. According to the surveillance footage, she stayed inside for about two hours."
"No wonder……"
Melissa was somewhat surprised.
Xu Wan seemed to have genuinely not lied to her.
-
On the other side, Xu Wan entered the ward. Just as she reached the bedside, she saw the eyelashes of the man lying on the bed with his eyes closed twitch slightly.
Xu Wan quickly went over, grabbed the man's hand, and called out, "Tingzhou."
I only realized I couldn't do that after I said the name.
She glanced back and saw that no one had followed her in, and then breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Jiang Tingzhou has had a persistent high fever for the past few days, and his mind is foggy.
Hearing someone call his name, he opened his eyes slightly.
When he saw Xu Wan through his blurry vision, he thought he was dreaming and delirious from his illness.
Even so, he said in a hoarse voice, "Wife."
