Chapter 67 I Can't Help You
I can't help you
Rongcheng, Shengyue B&B, backyard teahouse.
Wen Ruan recorded the conversation between him and Lin Hao yesterday. Chen Shengyue listened to it word for word and was silent for a long time before speaking.
"So, in order to get Aiyue's contract, you want to persuade me to return to Haicheng?"
Wen Ruan could tell that she was a little unhappy, so he reached into his bag, took out a stack of documents and handed them to her.
"Sister Shengyue, take a look at this first."
The information was obtained after she realized that Lin Hao's wife was the owner of the B&B, so she asked He Zheng to investigate Lin Hao's private life. He Zheng was very capable and obtained the most complete information in the shortest time.
These were printed out for Chen Shengyue by asking her driver to stop by a printing shop on the way here.
"Sister Shengyue, I don't mean to force you. When we were chatting before, I heard from your words that you are not without feelings for Lin Hao. I went to see Lin Hao yesterday and found out from his mouth that he has always loved you."
"From what I've learned so far: you both have feelings for each other, and Lin Hao has kept himself clean since you left, so I dared to come here."
"I'm wondering if there's any misunderstanding between you two. If there is, please take this opportunity to clarify. I'll get the contract, and you'll be reunited, and everyone will be happy."
The house is filled with the aroma of tea, and the air conditioner is turned on high enough to cool people down.
Chen Shengyue put the documents back on the coffee table, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time before he sighed softly.
"Do you know why Lin Hao said that as long as I return to Haicheng, you will win? Because we have an agreement that as long as I go back, it means that I forgive him."
"I don't want to forgive him."
…
Chen Shengyue and Lin Hao went from college to marriage.
Lin Hao's family is not well off, so he has to earn his own tuition. Chen Shengyue's family runs a tea plantation, so she has some money, and she is an only child, so she doesn't have to worry about making a living.
Lin Hao is actually dull, uninteresting, unromantic and taciturn, but she just likes him.
At first, her parents disliked Lin Hao, saying that Lin Hao had bad intentions and had set his eyes on her family's tea garden, but she didn't listen.
She had a falling out with her family, and Lin Hao's family was too poor to afford the bride price, so they didn't even have a wedding.
After getting the marriage certificate, her work was not going well, and Lin Hao was also suppressed by his boss. They rented a house, had no savings, and lived a tight life.
When things are not going well for you, all kinds of misfortune will come.
During that period, Lin Hao was often asked by her superiors to work overtime until the early morning. One night, when she came back from outside and opened the door, she was forcibly dragged into the room by the drunk middle-aged man next door.
She was five months pregnant at the time.
The man's attempt failed, but when she struggled, she was pushed hard and her stomach hit the corner of the cabinet. Lin Hao hurried back, but the child was gone and her uterus was almost lost.
At that time, they couldn't even come up with 50,000 yuan, and Lin Haodong had to borrow money from all over.
When her mother knew about this, she rushed from Rongcheng to Haicheng overnight, hugged her and cried, was angry that she was disobedient, scolded Lin Hao, and secretly gave her a lot of money before leaving.
After she survived the disaster, Lin Hao began to have the desire and ambition to make money. He wanted to start a business. His father couldn't bear to see her suffer, and although he was still angry, he gave Lin Hao the start-up capital.
Her friends all called her stupid, saying she was just gambling and had a high chance of losing.
It was a gamble, but she won.
Although the first few years of starting a business were very difficult, Lin Hao was very obedient to her, and they lived a tight but happy life. Later, the company became better and better, and he treated her better and better, loving her more than before.
Just one thing.
She had a miscarriage that year and injured her body. The doctor said the chances of getting pregnant again were very slim.
"My mother gave me a lot of Chinese medicine, and I drank it for several years. I wanted to vomit just by smelling it, but I persisted. I went to see doctors everywhere and endured all kinds of hardships. I also prayed to gods and Buddhas, and even saw a fortune teller."
"Finally, three years ago, I finally got pregnant. Everyone was very happy. But just as I was happily welcoming the baby, a woman came with a two-year-old child and said the child was Lin Hao's."
Bang!
In the tea room, Wen Ruang put down the cup he had picked up and looked at Chen Shengyue in astonishment.
"child?"
The information she got was recorded from the year Lin Hao started his business, so she didn't know about Chen Shengyue's past experiences, nor did she know about the child. It was not in the information, and Lin Hao didn't mention it.
So, Lin Hao still cheated?
Chen Shengyue let out a sigh, "The child is indeed his, but it's not his wish."
Take that year for example. She didn’t go back to her hometown with Lin Hao to celebrate the New Year. Lin Hao went back alone.
Lin Hao's parents had always disliked her. After knowing that she might not be able to get pregnant, they disliked her even more and told everyone that she was a hen that couldn't lay eggs. It was because she heard this that she didn't go back that year.
Lin Hao's parents took a fancy to a woman from their hometown, saying that she had a good face and a big butt, and looked good at bearing children.
They kept urging Lin Hao to divorce and remarry, but Lin Hao was unwilling. So they took advantage of the fact that she was not back that year and got some aphrodisiac drugs from somewhere and used them on Lin Hao.
Lin Hao had a falling out with his parents that year and never returned to his hometown.
"He hid this from me. I was curious at the time. Lin Hao is a filial son. He used to go back home for the New Year every year. Why didn't he go back suddenly? I asked him, and he said that his parents kept forcing him to divorce, and he was annoyed, so he simply didn't go back."
"I didn't think much of it until that day when the woman came to me with the child."
"She said she liked Lin Hao. Lin Hao's parents had promised her that if she could get pregnant, they would let Lin Hao divorce his wife and marry her. But she got pregnant, and the child was two years old, but Lin Hao didn't divorce her, nor did he go back to see her."
"She found the Lin family and heard from them that I was pregnant, so she came straight here to ask Lin Hao for an explanation."
Chen Shengyue paused for a long time when he said this, slowly placed his hands on his flat belly, closed his eyes, and his voice trembled slightly.
"She came over with the child, and I was devastated. The child I had finally... finally had, and now it's gone."
"The doctor said I would never be able to have my own child again in this lifetime. I lost the chance to be a mother."
"Wen Ruan, you know what? I really like children. I've been taking Chinese medicine for so many years, not just for Lin Hao, but because I want a child. I really want a child, but I don't have the chance anymore."
She knew that she couldn't blame Lin Hao entirely.
When she was half-awake, she heard Lin Hao crying and confessing beside her bed.
He said that when he woke up that day, he was angry and frightened. He was afraid that she wanted a divorce and he didn't dare to tell her. He said he really didn't expect that the woman could get pregnant in just one go.
He said that after he knew that the woman had given birth to a child, he had no intention of recognizing the child, so he gave her a lot of money and asked her not to disturb their lives. The woman clearly agreed, but he didn't expect her to come back again.
He cried bitterly and said he regretted returning to his hometown that year.
But there is no regret medicine in this world, they can't go back, she blames him in the end.
Lin Hao is very ambitious and wants to take the company public. She cannot give him an heir, and she doesn't want to live in such a depressed state anymore. Divorce is good for both of them, but he just doesn't want to.
So, she could only stay away from him.
Her parents and friends all advised her, saying that Lin Hao did not make the mistake on purpose and that they could adopt a child. They said that Lin Hao was successful in his career now and it would be foolish of her to divorce him, as it would allow future women to take advantage of him.
But she doesn't want to go back. There are mountains, wind, sunrise and sunset here. This is the life she likes now.
so--
"Wen Ruan, I'm sorry, I can't help you."
There was apology in her voice. Wen Ruan collected the information on the coffee table and put it back into her bag, smiling softly:
"It's okay. I came here because I thought there was a possibility of reconciliation between you two."
Chen Shengyue felt even more apologetic.
The matter of the child was the most painful thing in her life. She never mentioned it to anyone. When talking about Lin Hao, she only said that it was because he was busy with work and she had not told the truth to Wen Ruan before.
"If I don't return to Haicheng, what will happen to your contract?"
Wen Ruan leaned over to add more tea for her.
"Lin Hao has two dilemmas: you and the brothers who built his business with him. If you can't get a solution from him, I'll try to find a solution from his brothers."
Chen Shengyue picked up the tea she poured and asked with a smile, "You really don't blame me?"
Wen Ruan smiled and replied, "I really don't blame you. Even if you wanted to go back to Haicheng now, I would have to stop you. Men are all dogs. If they do something wrong, it's wrong. You can't forgive them."
If she were Chen Shengyue, she would never go back.
It's true that Lin Hao still loves Chen Shengyue, but how long can a man's love last? Maybe he will always treat her well, after all, he feels guilty about her.
But what about the child? If she denies it now, what about the future? After all, Chen Shengyue will never be able to be a mother.
If Lin Hao takes his son home, Chen Shengyue will feel uncomfortable, and they will inevitably become resentful of each other over time.
She definitely wants Ai Yue's contract.
She originally wanted to take a shortcut, but now after hearing this story, she admitted defeat in the bet with Lin Hao and will go back to focus on the other partners of Ai Yue.
Chen Shengyue was surprised to hear her say 'all men are dogs' and asked hesitantly, "How are things going between you and your boyfriend?"
Wen Ruan knew that she was asking about Jiang Qingyan.
"We've split up."
Ever since leaving Haicheng, Chen Shengyue no longer paid attention to what was happening there. He was in a semi-secluded state and didn't know about Rong Li's celebration banquet.
Wen Ruan did not hide anything from her and told her everything that had happened between her and Jiang Qingyan from the time they broke up to the present.
After hearing this, Chen Shengyue was so shocked that he didn't say anything for a long time. He looked at Wen Ruan with a slightly sympathetic expression.
Wen Ruan was calm, but when she mentioned Jiang Qingyan, she remembered something.
Judging from Jiang Qingyan's personality, she has been here for most of the day, and he should have brought Yao Man with him by now. Why is there no movement yet?
Just as he was thinking about it, Chen Shengyue received a call from the guy at the front desk.
"Boss, there's a lady named Yao who wants to talk to you about cooperation."
Yao? Talk about cooperation?
Chen Shengyue looked up at Wen Ruan. Wen Ruan heard it and nodded at her, saying, "Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here."
…
After Yao Man arrived at the B&B, she immediately sent a message to Jiang Qingyan to let him know she was safe.
Jiang Qingyan saw it but ignored it.
He was flipping through the information sent by Chen Yi. He asked Chen Yi to check it after the cocktail party. There was not much information about He Zheng's love history because the time was too short.
But one thing caught Jiang Qingyan's attention.
"Shen Yifan's cousin... likes He Zheng?"
Chen Yi: "Yes, Shen Yifan's generation are all boys, and there is only one girl, Shen Yinyin. She is the favorite in the family, and Shen Yifan loves this little cousin very much."
"Chen Yinyin is a quiet actress. When she's not filming, she goes to Haicheng. She used to go to Minghe often to show her affection to He Zheng, but later Shen Yifan stopped her from going, and she was busy, so she quieted down a bit."
"He Zheng's ex-girlfriends and rumored girlfriends don't have anyone like her. He probably doesn't like her, but for the sake of Shen Yifan's face, he has always been very nice to her. The two of them even watched a movie together."
Jiang Qingyan narrowed his eyes and tapped the documents rhythmically with the pen in his hand.
It's interesting that Shen Yifan's cousin likes He Zheng.
He raised his head and looked at Chen Yi with a hawk-like gaze, "Chen Yinyin doesn't know that He Zheng likes Wen Ruan yet, right? Find a way to tell her."
Chen Yi: "Okay."
Jiang Qingyan lowered his head and flipped through the information. After a while, he smiled again, "Chen Yinyin is filming in Haicheng. It's normal for actors to encounter some minor accidents during filming. Yao Tianyu hates Minghe now, so give him a push."
In order to add fuel to the conflict between He Zheng and Yao Tianyu, he was still reluctant to let Wen Ruan become a target.
Well, I'll have to let my little cousin suffer.
Chen Yi understood what he meant, which was to find something for Shen Yinyin to do and put the blame on Yao Tianyu.
"Understood."
Chen Yi accepted the order and was about to leave, but Jiang Qingyan suddenly called him back.
"Doesn't He Zheng have a white moonlight? We must dig out his white moonlight."
Everyone in the circle knows that He Zheng has been wearing a red rope on his wrist for more than ten years. Some people say it belongs to his white moonlight. He has not denied it, but no one has found out who it is so far.
He heard He Zheng mention that he was his college classmate at a dinner party.
Wen Ruan and He Zheng are not college classmates.
So Wen Ruan definitely doesn't like He Zheng, because he understands her. With his experience as a lesson, she will never be entangled with a man who has Bai Yueguang again.
Jiang Qingyan felt much better. After Chen Yi left, he picked up his phone again. Yao Man's message was from half an hour ago, but he just replied now.
[I was in a meeting just now and just saw the news.]
