Chapter 158 From the beginning to the end, I have only one wife
Xu Nanxing's tears welled up even more after hearing this. She shook her head, her voice filled with despair:
"Brother Yiran, how can you be so heartless? I've been with you for so many years and done so much for you. Don't you feel even a little bit touched? Even just a little bit?"
Lu Yiran was silent for a moment, and finally said:
"Nanxing, feelings can't be forced. My feelings for you have never been beyond brother and sister. It's only because of Mama Liu that I take extra care of you. You should understand that."
Xu Nanxing's heart was completely cold. She looked at Lu Yiran's indifferent face and suddenly felt that all her efforts over the years were a joke.
She smiled bitterly and shook her head, with a hint of self-mockery in her voice:
"So... I've been being sentimental all along. Brother Yiran, you're really so cruel."
Lu Yiran did not respond, but just looked at her quietly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.
Xu Nanxing took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Suddenly, a sentence Mu Nanyan had said to her before appeared in her mind:
"Don't you know? I signed a divorce agreement when I left, but it was Lu Yiran who always disagreed with the divorce."
At that time, she did not believe it and did not go to Lu Yiran to verify it. She was afraid that this was a trap set by Mu Nanyan to make her quarrel with Lu Yiran.
Now, she finally understood that what Mu Nanyan said was true. Lu Yiran had never liked her, let alone thought about marrying her, so he had been dragging on and not getting a divorce.
Now thinking about it, all my efforts over the years seem like a joke.
She wiped the tears from her face, forced a smile, looked at Lu Yiran and said:
"You don't like me, I admit it, but you have to make me lose clearly, right? Who is the mother of that child?"
Xu Nanxing wanted to know what kind of woman Lu Yiran liked. She was unwilling and didn't want to leave without knowing the reason.
She wanted to know who she lost to, what kind of woman she lost to, who could have allowed Lu Yiran to hide so well, even her son had grown up so much.
Lu Yiran looked at her, was silent for a moment, and finally said:
"From the beginning to the end, I have only one wife."
This sentence was like a heavy hammer, hitting Xu Nanxing's heart hard, and she subconsciously thought of Mu Nanyan.
She knew that the only woman who had ever been married to Lu Yiran was Mu Nanyan, but weren't they divorced? Xu Nanxing suddenly thought of that child, the one who looked about five years old. Mu Nanyan had been away for five years...
"Mu Nanyan?"
Xu Nanxing said the name in disbelief, with a hint of trembling in his voice.
"yes."
Lu Yiran nodded, his tone calm but firm. Xu Nanxing's face turned pale in an instant, his eyes full of shock and pain.
She shook her head, her voice tinged with hysteria:
"How is this possible? Don't you dislike her? How could you have a child with her? How could I lose to Mu Nanyan? You are already divorced, and it was me who stayed with you all these years! It was me!"
Her voice became higher and higher, her emotions became more and more out of control, tears kept falling, and she looked fragile and helpless.
Xu Nanxing never thought that he would eventually lose to someone who had been away for five years.
Her five years of companionship were not worth even a single Mu Nanyan. What was the value of her youth over the years? What was the value of her efforts over the years? She felt so much resentment and grievance.
If Lu Yiran had always had Mu Nanyan in his heart, why did he give her hope? It wasn't that she hadn't thought about giving up at the beginning, but it was Lu Yiran's tacit consent that gave her hope.
She had held onto this tiny bit of hope and waited until now, but just when she thought she was finally getting what she wanted, Lu Yiran ruthlessly revealed the truth. How could he do this? How could he do this?
Lu Yiran looked at her coldly, without a trace of sympathy in his eyes, and even with a hint of indifference:
"I think you know better than me why Nan Yan left."
Xu Nanxing was stunned when he heard this, and then showed a trace of panic:
"Brother Yiran, what do you mean? What does Mu Nanyan's departure have to do with me?"
Lu Yiran's voice was as cold as ice:
"Nan Yan called me before, but I had no idea. You were the one who answered the call, right?"
Xu Nanxing's heart sank suddenly and her face turned pale instantly. She didn't expect that Lu Yiran still knew about this incident after so long.
She gritted her teeth and stopped hiding it, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone:
"So what if it's me? Didn't you say that you and she are just in a contractual relationship? Didn't you say you don't like her? I just solved a problem for you."
When Lu Yiran heard this, his hands clenched unconsciously, his knuckles turned white from the force, and his anger almost reached its peak.
Last night, he asked Song Rui to check the call records from that period of time, and indeed saw the call from Mu Nanyan.
But he was not sure who answered the phone. He just wanted to test Xu Nanxing, but he didn't expect it to be her.
"She was already pregnant with my child at that time."
Lu Yiran's voice was low and cold, filled with suppressed anger.
"If it weren't for you, Nan Yan and I wouldn't have reached this point now. Chenchen would have grown up by my side instead of me missing out on his five years of growth."
Xu Nanxing was stunned and her face turned pale instantly. She didn't expect that Mu Nanyan called Lu Yiran because of this.
A complex emotion surged in her heart, including shock, regret, but more of it was unwillingness and anger.
Lu Yiran looked at her with cold eyes:
"Since you're Mama Liu's daughter, I won't bother with you. But starting today, you'll resign from Dingsheng, and don't let me see you again."
After saying this, he turned and left the back garden. He called the servant and ordered coldly:
"Take Xu Nanxing out through the back door and don't let her come in again."
Xu Nanxing stood there, tears silently streaming down her face. She looked at Lu Yiran's departing back, and her heart felt like it was being torn apart by something.
She never imagined that all her efforts over the years would end up like this.
The servant stepped forward, his tone respectful but with a hint of distance:
"Miss Xu, please follow me."
Xu Nanxing did not resist, but mechanically followed the servant to the back door. Her mind was blank, and Lu Yiran's cold voice seemed to still echo in her ears.
————
When Lu Yiran was walking back, he happened to run into Chenchen in the corridor. He didn't expect Chenchen to appear here. He was slightly stunned, then squatted down and asked softly:
"Chenchen, when did you come?"
