Yin Han did not answer, but clenched his fists even tighter.
Nan Sheng listened quietly. As a woman herself, she felt sorry for Jiang Xiangqing, but she didn't understand why Jiang Xiangqing treated Yin Han this way.
This is unfair to Yin Han.
"You know, pregnancy is a huge price to pay for a woman. I was looking forward to your arrival while enduring your father's coldness and indifference. I was so upset and exhausted!"
Did you know? Every time I go for a prenatal checkup, I see other people accompanied by their loved ones, sharing their joy with their pregnancy test reports, while I'm running around all by myself, getting blood drawn, and suffering from morning sickness.
At first, I told myself, "It's okay, I have you." When I was five months pregnant, I started to become depressed. Every night, I would sit alone on the sofa waiting for my father to come home from get off work. When he found out, he preferred to sleep in his office rather than come home.
This exacerbated my depression, and we started arguing constantly.
Once, I enraged him, and he stabbed me in the heart with the cruelest words, saying he had never loved me, that he only loved that woman, and that since that woman died, he had lived like a puppet.
As Jiang Xiangqing spoke, she recalled those scenes from the past. She didn't want to remember them, as they constantly reminded her that she had wasted more than a decade of her youth.
“I was already depressed, and what he said made me delirious. Looking at my belly getting bigger every day, I felt disgusted. The more I looked forward to your arrival, the more disgusted I felt at that moment.”
I wanted to have an abortion. After all, how can a child who isn't loved by their father—no, isn't acknowledged by their father—be happy? But the doctor said that because there were too many fetuses, an abortion would harm my body and make it impossible for me to get pregnant again.
And so, you were born, and your father committed suicide the day after you were born!
As Jiang Xiangqing spoke, she suddenly went berserk.
"Suicide, haha, is it ridiculous? He committed suicide right after his only child was born."
I couldn't understand it at all. How could someone as proud as him commit suicide? No matter how much he hated me, he would never choose this path.
When I accidentally glimpsed a secret in his study, I realized that I was the one who had been ridiculous all along! It was me! It was me, Jiang Xiangqing, who was the truly laughable and pathetic one!
Nan Sheng noticed Jiang Xiangqing's reaction, turned her head slightly to look at Yin Han, and found that his eyes were red.
Nan Sheng knew that it wasn't just Jiang Xiangqing who was suffering right now, but also Yin Han.
"Hanbao, I'm here."
Nan Sheng held his hand and squeezed the web of his thumb.
"He did it all because of a promise he made to that woman, the so-called five-year promise! Because that woman died in a car accident on the way to elope with him. They had made a promise to have a child together five years later, and the day after you were born was the day of their five-year promise."
A man abandoned his wife and children, and committed suicide for another woman. How can I possibly let go of that? How can I possibly like you? How can I possibly stop hating you?
Finally, Jiang Xiangqing's voice grew softer and softer.
So as soon as she finished her postpartum confinement, looking at the face that resembled his, she, who was already depressed, experienced the pain of losing her father and sent the child away without hesitation.
She left the North City and came to the South City, desperately wanting to forget everything from the past.
Her past foolishness serves as a constant reminder of how pathetic she is.
She started a new life, and her depression was gradually cured by Chen Jiajie, so she willingly had children for him.
But fate was always unfair to her; Chen Minghan was diagnosed with acute leukemia when she was three years old.
"So you still hate me for this? Have you ever thought that if I hadn't been born with my mother and hadn't been found in time, I might have died?"
Have you ever thought about how it feels to be called a bastard who was born and raised by no one since I was a child?
Have you ever considered that I'm actually the most innocent person in this whole mess?
What did I do wrong?
This was the first time Yin Han had spoken so much to Jiang Xiangqing.
The voice was mournful, helpless, and desperate.
Yin Han never expected it was because of these things.
It turns out that even his father didn't like him.
No, he is an unacknowledged being.
"You did nothing wrong. The mistake was that I don't like you, so I beg you to save Hanhan, okay? He's my only hope now."
Jiang Xiangqing's attitude had completely lost its initial arrogance.
"On what grounds?"
Yin Han asked a question, but before she could answer, he pulled Nan Sheng out.
*****
On the other side.
Xiang Niannian only learned that Grandma Li was in the hospital the next day.
Today, she and Wang Wentao made an appointment to go to the hospital together to visit Grandma Li.
Sure enough, as soon as I got downstairs, I saw Su Chuanlin leaning against the car door again.
When Wang Wentao saw Su Chuanlin, he froze for a moment. He wondered if he could turn around now.
He hadn't forgotten the terrifying look he'd received from Xiang Niannian when they walked downstairs at the company last time, and how he'd deliberately offered to give her a ride.
Then he was thrown around in the back seat and ended up vomiting and having diarrhea.
Finally, she asked, with an air of innocence, "Sorry, I didn't know you were so weak. Are you alright?"
Thinking of this scene, Wang Wentao shook his head. He didn't want to experience it a second time, so he immediately said, "Xiang Niannian, I just remembered. I have a document that I haven't processed. I'll go back and take care of it now, and I'll come over later. You and this person can go first."
After saying that, Wang Wentao ran back.
Seeing his actions, Su Chuanlin's lips curled up slightly, indicating that it was quite effective.
Before Xiang Niannian could respond, Su Chuanlin had already walked up to her.
"Why...why are you here again?"
And how did he know she was going out?
Xiang Niannian was full of doubt, and her eyes blinked adorably.
"I'm here to pick you up. Didn't I tell you, I want to pursue you, so I need to work on the visual aspect first, so you can see me every day?"
That's why he leads the way in skipping work every day.
"..." Xiang Niannian.
"Actually, you don't need to do this, you... eh."
Before Xiang Niannian could finish speaking, Su Chuanlin pulled her towards the car.
“You’re going to see Grandma Li, and so am I. Let’s go together.”
He then lifted her into the passenger seat, fastened her seatbelt, closed the door, and went around to the driver's seat.
Xiang Niannian, sitting in the passenger seat, felt her heart pounding wildly.
He just carried her into the car in a princess carry!
P.S.: It seems like not many people are asking to join the group again.
