Chapter 743 (Page 1/2)
Wen Wan was just about to put the bag down when she caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye that something seemed to be sticking out from the interlayer of the bag.
Driven by curiosity, she gently unzipped the compartment and saw a neatly folded paper.
Wen Wan carefully took out the piece of paper and slowly unfolded it. She couldn't help but widen her eyes - it turned out to be a remittance slip!
Her heartbeat suddenly quickened, and her eyes quickly scanned the information on the remittance slip. When she saw her husband's name and the considerable amount of money written in the payee's name column, she was so surprised that her mouth opened wide and forgot to close it for a moment.
Wen Wan frowned, her heart filled with doubts and confusion. Why would that child send such a large sum of money to her man?
What kind of unknown secrets were there between them? Countless questions flooded into her mind like a tide, making her feel upset.
Taking a deep breath, Wen Wan tried to calm her inner turmoil. She gently put the briefcase back to its place, then carefully folded the remittance slip in half and carefully put it into her coat pocket.
After doing all this, she calmed herself down, reached out to hold the door handle, gently pushed the door open, and walked out.
After walking a few steps, he ran into his son Qiao Siyuan who was hanging clothes.
Wen Wan quickly asked, "Siyuan, do you know where your father is? Mom wants to see him for something."
Qiao Siyuan looked up at his mother and answered obediently, "Mom, Dad just went to Grandpa's study. I guess he's chatting with Grandpa right now."
"Okay, I understand."
Wen Wan did not rush to look for Qiao Yan as usual, but continued to deal with the matters at hand calmly.
Time passed minute by minute, and finally, when Qiao Yan returned to the west wing with a slightly tired step, Wen Wan stopped what she was doing and walked towards Qiao Yan.
Walking up to Qiao Yan, Wen Wan gently raised her hand and handed the remittance slip that was stuffed in her pocket to Qiao Yan.
There was a hint of confusion in her eyes as she asked softly, "Brother Yan, why did that kid suddenly send you money? And five hundred yuan all at once!"
Qiao Yan's heart tightened when he heard Wen Wan's words. He had never imagined that the remittance slip he had carefully hidden in his bag would be discovered by Wen Wan.
If he had known this would happen, he would have hidden the remittance slip quietly in a drawer in his office instead of just putting it in his bag.
Facing Wen Wan's question, Qiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then replied calmly, "Xiao Wan, actually, this money was not sent to me by that child."
Wen Wan asked Qiao Yan: "She didn't send it to you. You sent it to her. She didn't want it and returned it to you, right?"
"Well, I borrowed some money from a colleague and sent it to her, but she sent it back the next day."
After saying this, Qiao Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that Wen Wan would believe that he had borrowed the five hundred yuan. If she knew that this was his private money, he would be in trouble in the future.
However, Wen Wan was skeptical of Qiao Yan's explanation. She never thought that Qiao Yan would secretly send money to Lin Man without her knowledge.
What surprised her even more was that Lin Man did not accept the money.

For a moment, Wen Wan's mood became very complicated. She didn't know whether she should feel sad for Qiao Yan's concern for Lin Man, or feel fortunate for Lin Man's rejection.
These conflicting emotions intertwined together, causing Wen Wan to fall into deep thought...
"You borrowed money from your colleagues to send it to her, but they ignored you. Brother Yan, that girl is completely heartless. Since she doesn't want to associate with us, we should not bother her."
Qiao Yan's eyes, as deep as a pool of water, stared at Wen Wan intently, as if he wanted to see through her appearance to her deepest thoughts.
Wen Wan felt her scalp tingling as he stared at her like that, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.
This man, who was once extremely familiar and someone she relied on, now made her feel so unfamiliar that she had no idea what was going on in his mind.
"Brother Yan, do you still want to go find her?" Wen Wan finally couldn't help but speak to break the suffocating silence, with a hint of anxiety and uneasiness in her voice that was hard to conceal.
Qiao Yan sighed softly and said slowly: "Xiao Wan, that's our biological daughter! We only have this one precious girl. Can you really be so cruel as to ignore her for the rest of your life?"
His tone was full of helplessness and heartache, and he seemed very disappointed with Wenwan's attitude.
When Wen Wan heard this, she became furious.
She widened her eyes and raised her voice to retort: "It's not that I don't care about her! It's obvious that she doesn't want us to care about her at all, and she doesn't even want to acknowledge us.
Since she is so heartless, why should we still try to please her? Although she is the child I carried for ten months and gave birth to with great difficulty, we have never truly lived together and she has no feelings for us at all..."
When she said this, Wen Wan's eyes turned slightly red and her voice began to choke.
However, Qiao Yan did not soften his heart. He interrupted Wen Wan and said firmly: "It is precisely because we have never lived with her that we should do everything we can to make up for the love and care we have lacked for her over the years!"
Wen Wan didn't think so. She shook her head in disappointment, "Brother Yan, the truth is that she doesn't need us to be nice to her at all. If she really wanted to make peace with us, then when you went to find her, she should have changed her surname back!
Faced with his wife's unreasonable behavior, Qiao Yan couldn't hold back his dissatisfaction and immediately retorted, "Qiao Sitian never changed her surname back to Lin until her death. What qualifications do you have to ask the child to change his surname?
Lieutenant General Huo once told me personally that the reason the child refused to acknowledge us was because we didn't send Qiao Sitian back to the Lin family!"
After hearing this, Wen Wan retorted without showing any weakness, "By then, Si Tian had already married into the Wang family. How could we send her back to the Lin family? Could we forcibly separate the couple?"
Qiao Yan frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Let's put aside the fact that we didn't send Sitian back to the Lin family. What the child cares about is our attitude. We should put her first. She is our biological daughter."
