Leng Ci directly asked Yan Liuli if she knew about his situation. Yan Liuli didn't intend to hide it from him and held Leng Ci's hand, saying, "Leng Ci, I just found out too. I think you're being too reserved. The fact that Uncle Chen came all the way from Hong Kong to find you shows that he still has fatherly feelings for you. If you go back with him, things will go smoothly for you in the future."
Leng Ci shook off Yan Liuli's wrist.
“You make it sound so easy. This isn’t your problem, so of course you won’t feel any guilt. But I can’t. My mother is completely in love with him, but he’s a married man with a family.”
This is something Leng Ci cannot forgive; he hates Chen Chushen's philandering and abandonment of his lovers.
“Leng Ci, you can’t think like that. If it weren’t for him, where would you be?” Yan Liuli wanted Leng Ci to be recognized by his ancestors so that she could go to Hong Kong with him. She had heard that there were many opportunities in Hong Kong, and that she could do things faster than on the mainland.
"How could you say that?" Leng Ci was furious and got up to leave.
Yan Liuli caught up and grabbed Leng Ci: "Don't you think about yourself? Think about the child in my belly too! If you were just a forensic student, do you think my dad would let us be together?"
When the topic of children came up, Leng Ci fell silent.
“Leng Ci, this is my first pregnancy, and I’m terrified. If my parents found out, they’d definitely break my legs. But if you acknowledge your biological father, things will be different. My dad is the kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. If you had a father like that, he would agree.”
Leng Ci remained silent.
"Leng Ci, I'm also thinking about our future, don't you think?"
Leng Ci thought for a long time before speaking: "Liuli, come with me to Aunt Ying's clinic. She will take your pulse and see if the child is healthy."
Yan Liuli's face immediately turned cold: "Leng Ci, your Aunt Ying, she's not a good person. She's hindering you at every turn, just because she's afraid that after you acknowledge your ancestors, you won't remember their kindness. How can you trust such a selfish person?"
"Liuli, Aunt Ying isn't that kind of person!"
"She's not, I am, okay? I'm not going to her clinic. If you think the child isn't yours, I'll go to the hospital and get an abortion." Yan Liuli ran away crying.
Leng Ci was at a loss for what to do.
Song Younian finally got a chance to meet his son.
The police also said that Song Weidong still has a chance to overturn the verdict before being convicted. If he is convicted, it will be difficult to overturn the verdict later. They hope that the police can persuade Song Weidong to explain the matter clearly.
Song Younian sat at one end of the table, his temples now much whiter.
When Song Weidong was brought in, Song Younian hurriedly stood up, looked at his son, and couldn't help but shed tears.
Song Weidong felt guilty when he saw that his father had aged a lot because of his situation.
"dad……"
Song Weidong sobbed as he apologized, "I'm sorry, son, I'm so sorry."
"It's not your fault, it's not your fault." Song Younian waved his hand. "Did you enjoy the food inside?"
Song Weidong wiped away his tears: "I'm used to it, it's alright."
"That's good, that's good."
"Dad, remember to eat, don't smoke or drink, and take care of yourself while you're home alone. Your son will be out soon. Once I'm out, I'll definitely find a decent job to take care of you in your old age." Song Weidong was filled with shame.
He's not a bad kid, he's just too loyal and too concerned about saving face.
“Weidong, you’re a good boy. Although you’re not good at studying, Dad knows you’re not a bad person at heart. You wouldn’t do something like kidnapping a child. So why didn’t you say anything?” Song Younian was afraid there wouldn’t be enough time, so he quickly said everything that needed to be said.
"Dad, I..." Song Weidong lowered his head. He couldn't betray Yan Liuli. That would be too unfair to her. Besides, Yan Liuli had given him her first time. As a man, he couldn't break his promise.
“Weidong, I’ve taught you to be honest since you were little, and you’ve lived up to that. But why won’t you tell the truth this time?” Song Younian said, heartbroken.
"Dad, I'm sorry. I acted impulsively and did such a thing. I was wrong." Song Weidong still refused to tell the whole story.
Song Younian suddenly remembered what Li Ying had told him through someone: that he must mention Yan Liuli when they had the chance to meet.
"Wei Dong, do you know Yan Liuli?"
Song Weidong suddenly looked up: "What's wrong with her?"
"Yan Liuli is getting engaged to someone named Leng Ci. It seems the date has been set, either tomorrow or the day after. The two families will meet to discuss the wedding. Yan Liuli is still young, but it seems she is pregnant."
Song Weidong's face changed, and his fingers slowly clenched.
how so?
Yan Liuli said she only likes herself and will only have children for him. Why is that?
When the time came, Song Weidong was taken away. He was completely dazed, looking utterly hopeless.
Song Younian didn't know if this method would work, but it was the only way.
After visiting his son, Song Younian went to the hospital to see Aunt Yang. When he met Li Ying, he told her about his visit to his son.
“He was completely stunned when he heard that. Do you think he might do something stupid?” Song Younian was very worried.
"No, Song Weidong wouldn't do anything foolish; he would only defend himself."
"If that's the case, that would be great."
"Just wait, Song Weidong will tell the truth," Li Ying comforted him.
Li Ying returned home with her son. Chen Chushen and Leng Ci had already arrived.
“Aunt Ying.” Leng Ci didn’t want to have anything to do with Chen Chushen, but now that Yan Liuli insisted on aborting the child, Leng Ci couldn’t bear it. So she went to find Chen Chushen herself and was willing to go back with him, but before going back, she had to agree to arrange the marriage with the Yan family.
Chen Chushen agreed.
"Comrade Li Ying, you are Aci's mentor. I hope you can attend the engagement banquet tomorrow."
Li Ying smiled and said, "I won't be participating in your two families' engagement banquets."
“Aunt, you must go. My mother is gone, and you are my only family. I can’t ask Uncle Leng Yan to come. I will be sad if you don’t go.” Leng Ci said sincerely.
Li Ying couldn't refuse, so she said, "Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow."
Leng Ci then smiled.
The next day, Li Ying dressed neatly and took Chenchen out.
Chen Chushen's car was waiting at the gate. Li Ying and Chenchen got in the car and went to the Yan family with Leng Ci.
Upon arriving at the Yan family's gate, Chen Chushen got out of the car. Looking at the scene before him, something flashed in his eyes.
"Mr. Chen, what's wrong?"
"I've been here before." Chen Chushen remembered very clearly that this was where he met Leng Ci's mother, where they held hands and started their first date, where they kissed for the first time, and where they gave themselves to each other for the first time.
This shouldn't be...
"Are you sure this is the Yan family residence?"
Chen Chushen asked another question.
"This is the Yan family's residence," Li Ying replied, but she had already noticed something amiss; it seemed this matter was getting interesting.
