Chapter 223 Asking Mother-in-Law for Help
The investigation revealed that Lin Ran had not done anything unusual and had not met with anyone.
After going abroad, she started working and met with mostly her clients.
There was absolutely nothing wrong with the itinerary.
Meanwhile, Lu Wanxing's luggage had already been moved to her home.
Looking at the baby supplies scattered all over the floor, as well as my own things, including some rather loose-fitting clothes.
Lu Wanxing was genuinely somewhat helpless.
He immediately called Han Ximan.
"Ms. Han, isn't that a bit too much?"
"Did you receive the items?" Han Ximan's voice came through, sounding cheerful.
"Received it, it's all here. It looks a bit exaggerated."
"It's no exaggeration. I was worried you weren't prepared, so I brought you everything we had prepared at home. How are you doing over there? Is the baby being good?"
"Your granddaughter is very well-behaved, so don't worry. When are you and your uncles coming over?"
"We're not that fast yet. I'm going to be doing some business with your uncle recently, so I don't have much time."
Han Ximan seemed quite busy, and hung up the phone after saying a few words.
Lu Wanxing raised an eyebrow with a hint of helplessness.
So this is... a career-driven, strong woman?
She was genuinely curious about what Ms. Han looked like now.
After all, she knew her mother's capabilities; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to raise her and provide her with such a good life all these years.
From this perspective alone, it's already quite remarkable.
And just as Lu Wanxing had imagined, Han Ximan had actually been following her brother around all along.
Han Zheng would take her along to all his social engagements.
It's surprising that the brother and sister, who haven't seen each other for so many years, are still so in sync when they work together again.
"I didn't expect it, little sister, your abilities are as good as ever."
"Brother, aren't you making fun of me? I'm getting older; if my abilities don't improve, how can that be reasonable?"
"Yes, yes, yes, then you'll have to handle the socializing at the party later."
When Lu Wanxing made the call, it was evening in China, and Ms. Han's so-called "business trip" was actually attending a cocktail party.
There just so happens that there's a gathering of business tycoons tonight, so Han Zheng brought his sister along.
The appearance of the handsome men and beautiful women surprised many people at the scene.
Looking at the beautiful woman standing next to Han Zheng, everyone assumed that she was a mistress Han Zheng was keeping outside.
Many people tried to flatter him, but as you can imagine, their attempts backfired spectacularly.
Everyone was quite surprised when they learned that this was Han Zheng's sister.
Didn't Han's daughter say that they hadn't been in contact for decades?
Everyone thought something bad had happened.
I never expected that I would still be standing here in good health and even be able to attend the party.
Han Zheng ignored everyone's gaze and took Han Ximan to meet other business tycoons.
I'll act as a go-between for her.
Bo Sinian is here tonight too.
From afar, they spotted Han Ximan and Han Zheng beside her.
After thinking for a moment, Bo Sinian went up to greet them.
"aunt."
When Han Ximan heard someone standing next to her, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at him.
Then, when I saw Bo Sinian, I was slightly surprised.
"Oh, it's Xiao Bo. You're here for a social event too?"
"Yes, I'm here for a social engagement. Can your aunt talk to you for a few minutes?"
Han Zheng looked at Bo Sinian with some hostility, then said sarcastically, "We probably don't have anything to say to President Bo, do we?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Ximan tugged at his arm.
Then he smiled and looked at Bo Sinian.
"Okay, let's go outside and talk."
Han Ximan was quite polite.
Once outside, Bo Sinian saw Han Ximan and his first question was, "Auntie, how is Xingxing?"
"She's doing well and is still recovering."
Han Ximan genuinely didn't know how to lie.
After all, I'm not the kind of person who's good at lying.
"Is she really alright?"
"No, everything is fine. I'm slowly recovering. As for the psychological issues, we can only leave that to time."
Han Ximan didn't explain much.
But now her daughter's persona is that of a pitiful woman who lost her child.
To cooperate, Han Ximan could only spit in her mind a few times after saying a sentence.
Bo Sinian pursed his thin lips and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Auntie, can you tell me where she is? I want to stay by her side."
His tone was humble.
Han Ximan was actually a little reluctant.
But considering it was her daughter's own decision, she still sighed helplessly.
"Now that the child is gone, your relationship can only go this far. You are both still young and can find someone else to start over."
Han Ximan tried her best to persuade him.
After saying that, he quickly spat a few times in his mind.
“No, I don’t think we need a child to keep us together. I know I made a lot of mistakes in the past, and I hope I can make it up to Xingxing. We can start over, even without this child.”
Bo Sinian said in a panic.
In his heart, he didn't want to be with Lu Wanxing because of a child, nor would he stop being with her just because the child was gone.
He now feels very sorry for Lu Wanxing, who is facing the pain of losing her child alone.
So I wanted to do something.
His tone was humble, and his eyes were pleading.
"Auntie, I just want to be by Xingxing's side when she's feeling the saddest."
Han Ximan felt a little sorry for him when she saw him like this, but her daughter had made it clear that she could not reveal anything about her to Bo Sinian, so she was in a dilemma.
"I'm sorry, Xingxing told me not to tell you. Your relationship has come to this point. Just let it be. There's no need to deliberately look for her anymore. As time goes by, everyone will start their own lives. Isn't that better?"
“Auntie, I don’t want to give up like this. I love Xingxing. I don’t believe it’s really over between us. Or you can let me call her, just a phone call will do.”
This was the first time Bo Sinian had ever been so humble, just hoping to find out news from Lu Wanxing's side.
"I'm sorry I can't help you. I hope you can understand how a mother feels. If I could, I would of course hope that my daughter's love life would be smooth sailing. When she found out she was pregnant with that child, she was very happy and her mind was full of life after giving birth. Even when you made it clear that you would not take responsibility, she was only sad for a moment. She told me that maybe she and the child's father were not meant to be."
But I'm sure I have a special connection with this child, so I want to keep him. You know what happened before, when Sheng Siwan was hit by the car. She said she lost the child's father and almost thought she would lose the child too. She cherishes him more than anyone else. But your constant provocations and trouble-making have really worn her out. Let her rest."
