Chapter 305: The Fake Heiress (14)
Hearing Lin Baiyu's words, Wen Wan finally found them much more agreeable. At least he wasn't the kind of person who was forcing her to marry him. It seemed that Wen Wan had made the right move by taking advantage of his guilt.
"Of course we can still be friends."
"Peel an apple for me."
Wen Wan nodded, picked up an apple from the fruit plate beside the bed, and peeled one for Lin Baiyu.
Lin Baiyu stared blankly at the apple. "I remember you used to peel apples all bumpy and unevenly, but now your technique has improved."
Wen Wan ate it once, and the fruit peel broke off.
"Maybe it's because I've been practicing for a long time, but my grandma loves apples, so I often peel them for her."
"Are you happy to leave the Li family?" Lin Baiyu continued to ask. After learning that Xiaoqing had been kicked out of the Li family, he thought of bringing Xiaoqing back to the Li family through a marriage contract, and then protecting her to avoid the tragedy of the previous life.
However, he did it, and in retrospect, it wasn't a good decision.
Given Uncle Li's behavior, is it really a good thing for Xiao Qing to return to the Li family?
Wen Wan nodded. "I'm happy. I've figured it out. I made a lot of mistakes because of fear and dread. Now that I'm here, I've finally understood. What's meant to be mine will be mine, and what's not meant to be mine can't be forced. Neither Xin Yue nor I did anything wrong, so we should all go back to where we belong and not let the mistakes continue. I'm back to my world. Lin Baiyu, you should go back to your world too."
Lin Baiyu looked at Xiao Qing in front of him as if he were seeing her for the first time, and she had even changed a lot from the Xiao Qing in his memory.
It was as bright as a sunflower, without a trace of gloom.
"I understand. Since we are friends, I hope you can take good care of yourself. Don't trust others too much. Gu Qian may be a good person now, but no one can be a good person forever. If he hurts you, you must leave immediately."
Wen Wan knew that Lin Baiyu was sincere in his words. She was really curious about what happened in his previous life from Lin Baiyu's perspective, but Lin Baiyu probably wouldn't tell her easily.
Lin Baiyu took out his phone. "Since we're friends, let's add each other as friends."
Wen Wan: "Okay."
The two added each other as friends. "What about the engagement?"
Lin Baiyu: "I will cancel."
Cancel?
Isn't Lin Baiyu supposed to be the devoted second male lead? Did something happen between him and the female lead?
Wen Wan suppressed her curiosity and then left Lin Baiyu's ward, returning to Gu Qian's ward where Grandma Shen was taking care of him.
"Grandma, what brings you here?"
"I was just worried. Qin Yu is frail and can't go out in her condition. She also has to take care of Yao Yao. So I thought I'd make some pork ribs for Xiao Qian to help her recover, and that's why I brought them over."
Gu Qian: "Grandma's stewed pork ribs are especially delicious."
Wen Wan: "Then I'll have a bite too."
Wen Wan went over and Grandma Shen didn't stop her from eating. She gave her a small bowl, and Wen Wan ate happily. But Grandma Shen asked worriedly, "Is Lin Baiyu alright?"
Wen Wan: "Don't worry, Grandma, it's nothing. It's just that, like Gu Qian, he has a minor fracture."
Wen Wan took a bite of a rib, which aggravated the injury on her face. Grandma Chen touched Wen Wan's face and asked, "Why is it red? Did your father hit you?"
Gu Qian also looked over.
Wen Wan smiled and said, "It's nothing. I'll just apply an egg to it when I get home and it'll be fine."
“You can’t hit a child no matter what! I’ll go talk to him.” Wen Wan quickly pulled Grandma Chen back. “I’m fine. He’s angry right now. I got slapped, but he’ll calm down now. Good news: Lin Baiyu won’t make me marry him anymore, and he has no reason to take me back. We can live together forever from now on.”
Gu Qian looked over, and Wen Wan said to him, "You don't need to act anymore to cover for me. I'm sorry for what I did to you this time, and I will definitely make it up to you."
Gu Qian: "I'm fine, but why did he give up?"
Wen Wan had a sudden idea. "It's nothing. I just told him that I'm carrying your child, so he can't just be a cheap father, right? So I had to give up."
Gu Qian: "!!!"
Grandma Shen: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can a young woman like you say such things?"
"I was just kidding. I didn't lie about this. If I did, Gu Qian's reputation would be ruined. What would I become?"
Grandma Shen breathed a sigh of relief, "You scared me to death!"
...
As expected, Lin Baiyu left soon after, and Li's father also left without even seeing her. Even the butler and the people he brought with him all left. She was of no help to the marriage alliance, so she was naturally abandoned.
About a week later, Gu Qian was discharged from the hospital.
Wen Wan personally took the person home, saying, "Aunt Qin."
Gu's mother was cooking when she heard the noise and quickly came to help Wen Wan help Gu Qian into the house. "Why don't you stay a few more days?"
Gu Qian said, "The doctor said I can go home to rest, and that staying in the hospital is a waste of money."
"Money is not important, your health is more important."
Wen Wan said, "This time it was because of me, so the medical expenses should naturally be paid by me."
"How could we? You've already helped us so much, how could we possibly take your money?"
"Gu Qian has helped me so much, it's only natural for me to help him back, don't say anything more."
Wen Wan hurried to find Gu Yao to play. Gu Yao was still doing his homework. Wen Wan wanted to help him with his homework, since it was only elementary school homework and it couldn't be too difficult. But when she saw the questions, Wen Wan was dumbfounded.
Then she sneaked away and went to Gu Qian's side, saying, "Are elementary school questions this complicated these days? I didn't even understand them."
Gu Qian chuckled, and Wen Wan slapped him, saying, "What are you laughing at? I haven't watched it in so many years, of course I've forgotten it."
"I know."
“Gu Qian, go to school. I’ll pay your tuition. When you make a lot of money in the future, you can pay me back tenfold.”
"I--"
"Don't refuse. Aunt Qin also hopes you will go to university. She will need you to take care of her in the future, as well as Yao Yao. Right now, it's compulsory education, but high school will also cost tuition. Only if you study hard, become successful, and earn money can they live a good life."
“We’re friends, and friends should accept help when they need it. Besides, I’m not taking this money for nothing. When you make a lot of money, you’ll have to pay me back tenfold.”
Gu Qian fell silent.
"Too much? How about five times?"
Gu Qian looked at Wen Wan and asked, "Why are you so good to me?"
"Why? We're friends. It's normal for friends to help each other. If you agree, I'll tell Aunt Qin. She's so worried."
Gu Qian did not refuse, and Wen Wan quickly went to tell Gu's mother. Gu's mother was very happy to hear this, "Really? You really have a way."
"He loves you all so much and wants to give you a good life. Otherwise, what could I do?"
"It's because you have a way with him. Once he's made up his mind, no one can persuade him otherwise. He resolutely refused to go to university back then, and I tried to persuade him countless times, but it was no use."
Gu Qian agreed and then contacted his high school teacher, who was his former homeroom teacher. The homeroom teacher was very happy, after all, this student was the best he had ever taught, and he was also the top scorer in the college entrance examination that year. It was a pity that he was not successful in the college entrance examination. Since he wanted to continue to take the college entrance examination, he would naturally not stop him. So he went to deal with Gu Qian's student status. It just so happened that he was teaching a senior class, so he brought Gu Qian into his class.
