"He's from the capital, his surname is Tai, so his name is Tai Zheng!"
Wen Ying's tone was no longer one of doubt but of certainty.
All the information matched up. The surname "Tai" wasn't even in the top 100 of the Hundred Family Surnames, making it an uncommon surname. And since he was from Beijing, Wen Ying assumed the unfaithful man Wu Chunqin had hated for years was Tai Wu's biological father.
"How do you know? Did your mother tell you?"
That's not right.
If Chen Ru had already told Wen Ying the details, wouldn't Wen Ying need to ask her?
Wu Chunqin thought of what Wen Ying had just said about "indirect contact" and was looking forward to it. Even if she couldn't meet her, it would be nice to know the current situation of that female classmate!
Facing Wu Chunqin's expectant gaze, Wen Ying answered irrelevantly: "It has nothing to do with my mother, but with Lawyer Wei. Do you remember how you met Lawyer Wei? It's not important how you met, what matters is when you met."
Is it related to Wei Chengye?
The anticipation on Wu Chunqin's face disappeared, and her expression became serious: "We have known each other for more than ten years."
Wu Chunqin mentioned a specific time. Wen Ying compared this time point with Wei Chengye's information in her mind. When Wei Chengye met Wu Chunqin, his wife had been dead for just over three months.
Wen Ying sorted out the chronological order and put herself in Wei Chengye's perspective to think about these things.
So, Tai Zheng's ex-girlfriend, before dying, asked Wei Chengye to go to the Tai family, and that's how Wei Chengye got to know the Tai family. Then, when Wei Chengye's wife got cancer and needed treatment, the Tai family not only didn't bother with Wei Chengye, the lawyer who was causing unrest for the Tai family, but instead used the Tai family's medical resources to help Wei Chengye's wife get treatment?
Unfortunately, despite the help of the Tai family, Wei Chengye’s wife’s life could not be saved.
But since the Tai family had made such great efforts, Wei Chengye naturally owed them a favor.
After Wei Chengye's wife passed away, the Tai family asked Wei Chengye to help find the child born to Tai Zheng's ex-girlfriend without bothering two masters. With the dual blessing of favors and rewards, Wei Chengye, a lawyer, probably would not refuse.
Even though Wei Chengye was a skilled person, he couldn't just aimlessly search the entire country for an abandoned child. That would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. He could only start by combing through Tai Zheng's ex-girlfriend's social connections. If he couldn't find her family and relatives, he would start by checking her friends and classmates.
Wu Chunqin and Tai Zheng's ex-girlfriend had a very good relationship when they were in school.
If Tai Zheng’s ex-girlfriend had not entrusted the child to relatives for care, maybe she had contacted Wu Chunqin?
Even if she didn't entrust her child to her parents, she might still keep in touch with Wu Chunqin after dropping out of school. It's very likely that Wu Chunqin knew something!
Wen Ying had been a lawyer herself and was familiar with Wei Chengye's working style. Thinking of the training course "How to build closer relationships with strangers" that he had taught in the law firm, Wei Chengye first approached Wu Chunqin, and after becoming friends with Wu Chunqin, he asked for information. This was a very typical Wei Chengye style!
Even Wei Chengye probably didn't expect Tai Zheng's ex-girlfriend to never contact Wu Chunqin, or perhaps if she did, Wu Chunqin was very tight-lipped and never shared any information with outsiders. Wei Chengye never achieved his goal, so his friendship with Wu Chunqin naturally continued. Initially, Wei Chengye may have approached Wu Chunqin simply to track down the child's whereabouts. Later, Wu Chunqin's career flourished, and even if she wasn't pursuing the child's whereabouts, a friend like Wu Chunqin would still be valuable!
Wu Chunqin knew that Wen Ying never talked nonsense. Seeing that Wen Ying's expression was not right, she sighed and said, "Xiaoying, I don't like being a fool."
Xie Qian was right. When Wei Chengye approached Wu Chunqin, Wu Chunqin was already in the trap.
Even if other things have nothing to do with Wu Chunqin, Wu Chunqin has the right to know why she made friends with Wei Chengye.
Wen Ying omitted everything else and only talked about the relationship between Wei Chengye and the Tai family.
"This is my analysis based on the information available, it may not be correct..."
When Wu Chunqin heard that the female classmate she had lost contact with for many years had already passed away, she couldn't hold back her emotions and burst into tears in front of Wen Ying.
Now it was Wen Ying's turn to stand up and pour water for Wu Chunqin.
After Wu Chunqin cried enough, her eyes swollen like walnuts, she gnashed her teeth and cursed Tai Zheng: "He deserves to die! Having sex is a decision made by both of us, and he actually left his pregnant girlfriend alone to face the rumors. Tai Zheng ruined her life, he really deserves to die!"
Wen Ying also thinks Tai Zheng is a piece of shit.
When Wu Chunqin calmed down, she was calmer than Wen Ying had imagined: "It's probably what you said. In fact, I met Wei Chengye back then because I saw him helping a woman who was suffering from domestic violence to get a divorce. The woman didn't have much money, and Wei Chengye ran around for that divorce case, so I thought this lawyer was a good person. After we became friends, I learned that his wife had passed away a few months ago, leaving him with a very young child, which made me feel even more sympathetic towards him. At that time, your Uncle Shen and I had just gotten married and had no children. Seeing that Wei Chengye was too busy with work to take care of the child, I took his son to live with us for half a year. Of course, Wei Chengye was also good to us, and our friendship was a give-and-take."
Previously, Wei Chengye used Wu Chunqin to surround Wen Ying. Wu Chunqin was very angry and felt that Wei Chengye was no longer the lawyer Wei she knew back then. She felt deeply sorry for Wei Chengye's changes and felt sorry that the two of them could not return to their previous friendship.
Now Wu Chunqin suddenly realized: In fact, Wei Chengye has never changed. The "Lawyer Wei" she knew before was just a persona he created!
Friendship was fake from the beginning. It's not that it has deteriorated, it's that it's rotten from the root!
Wu Chunqin suddenly realized the truth and also had a reason to heal herself.
There is nothing to regret, she was just deceived.
In this world, people are cheated every day. Some are cheated of money, some are cheated of feelings. Wu Chunqin is no more than one of them. There is nothing to be angry about. Knowing that she was cheated, Wu Chunqin can finally make a final break with this friendship!
"My female classmate actually chose to give birth to the child, and it's a daughter?"
Wu Chunqin no longer cares about Wei Chengye.
She was thinking about her deceased female classmate and caring about the children she left behind.
Wen Ying wasn't sure either: "That's what the Tai family said, or rather, that's what Wei Chengye told the Tai family. As for whether the child was really born, and where the child is now, I don't know either."
Wen Ying chose to tell the truth. After careful consideration, Wu Chunqin made a decision: "It's a pity that I couldn't help my classmate. I want to find that child. If that child is willing, I will take care of her like an elder."
Wen Ying believes Wu Chunqin.
Because that’s how Wu Chunqin took care of Wen Ying in her previous life.
Wen Ying can make a living in Shanghai on her own in this life and does not need Wu Chunqin's care. Wu Chunqin's kindness is to help "that child".
If she was lucky enough to find "that child", Wu Chunqin never thought about asking the child to return to his or her roots.
——What’s the point of being Tai’s illegitimate daughter? That child can live an upright life!
