Chapter 84 Wan Ziyan
The sun was shining brightly, and the air was filled with the sounds of people.
Passing through the bustling streets, you'll find the main road leading to Hefeng Academy.
Tao Ran stopped and stared at Wan Ziyan, whose clothes were half-wet, for a long time before asking, "Why didn't you just tell her?"
Wan Ziyan stopped, turned around, and gave a wry smile. "What did you think of her after seeing her today?"
Tao Ran thought it over carefully and replied, "Very good, unconventional, unlike any other woman I've ever met."
"If I were to tell her frankly that I am her second brother, do you think she would believe me?" Wan Ziyan lowered his eyes slightly, a hint of sadness in them.
"I believe you!" But Tao Ran couldn't be sure what Wan Qiqi would do if she found out.
Wan Ziyan knew the answer, but he didn't need it; he only wanted his sister to be safe and healthy.
In the past, he could not change his fate of being adopted by his current father, nor could he change the fact that his sister married the wrong person.
But now that he has met her, he doesn't want his sister to continue suffering.
He knew that his sister had angered their father and caused his elder brother's son to become disabled.
But if they hadn't insisted on marrying their daughter off to someone of a higher social standing, and if the sedan chair bearers hadn't been so negligent, how could the younger sister have ended up like that?
Ultimately, it's all their own fault!
He had heard about Wan Qiqi falling into the water.
He knew that Wan Qiqi had changed her personality.
He even heard about what happened in Lianhua Village and Guanshi Village from his colleagues in the county.
He felt sorry for Wan Qiqi. Clearly, none of this was her choice, but in the end, he blamed her.
Just like back then, when he was extremely unwilling and cried and begged his parents to still adopt him and send him to a completely unfamiliar environment to call strangers his parents.
He thought he would just listen to it as idle gossip, but he never expected that he would meet Wan Qiqi...
He murmured, "I only met her three times, yet I could tell what kind of person she was. Those people have known her for years or even decades, yet they still have prejudices against her. Is it her problem, or did those people dislike her from the very beginning?"
"Ziyan..." Tao Ran saw that Wan Ziyan was not in a good condition and immediately went forward to support him.
Sure enough, the next moment Wan Ziyan lost his strength, his body swayed, and he was about to fall.
Tao Ran supported him and sighed heavily, "When will this heartache of yours ever heal?"
Wan Ziyan laughed twice, his face slightly pale. "I can't get better, I can't get better... They abandoned me, how can I get better?"
Tao Ran turned his face away and said in a low voice, "Chen Wanshi has a son and a daughter. If you really don't like her in the Chen family and want them to divorce, wouldn't you be asking her to be the one who is abandoned?"
"..." Wan Ziyan looked at him without saying a word.
“Ziyan, she is different from other women, and her path will naturally be different as well. You can be her brother and accompany her, but don’t make choices for her.”
Wan Ziyan looked at Tao Ran, but ultimately said nothing.
With Tao Ran's help, he entered the academy.
In the afternoon, Chen Yongliang closed two more big deals and went home happily.
Wan Qiqi couldn't be happy at all because of the five taels of silver Wan Ziyan gave her.
Chen Yongnian was sullen and hardly spoke a word the whole way, but he still did his work.
“Sister-in-law, starting tomorrow, deliver one jar to Hefeng Academy, one jar to Zhenbei Sweet Soup Shop, and one jar to Bafang Laike. Each delivery will earn you one tael and five hundred coins…” Chen Yongliang had calculated this very clearly.
He was overjoyed, skipping and jumping around Wan Qiqi with his things on his back. "Sister-in-law, I never dreamed I could earn so much money. I feel like I haven't earned as much in the past ten years as I have in these few days!"
Wan Qiqi smiled faintly, "This is just the beginning. We still need to build a new house and find you a wife!"
Chen Yongliang became happier and happier as he listened, thinking that the days ahead would only get better and better. He couldn't be happier.
Wan Qiqi glanced at Chen Yongnian and, seeing that he remained silent, said calmly, "How about we send Pingping to the academy next year?"
It took Chen Yongnian a while to realize that she was talking to him. He paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, whatever." That way you can see that rich man every day!
Wan Qiqi took the initiative to talk to Chen Yongnian, but he answered her half-heartedly, and even his responses were somewhat nonsensical. This finally made Wan Qiqi realize that something was wrong with him.
She grabbed Chen Yongnian's shoulder to stop him and asked, "What did he say to you?"
Chen Yongnian hesitated for a moment, his nose tingled, his eyes reddened, and tears visibly welled up in them, "My wife..."
This was the first time Wan Qiqi had seen Chen Yongnian looking so aggrieved. She was a little puzzled. What had Wan Ziyan said to make him feel so wronged?
She reached out and gently wiped the corner of his eye, then whispered, "Husband, don't believe anything he says, okay?" Guan Wanziyan was as cunning as a fox; he never told the truth.
In the blink of an eye, tears streamed down Chen Yongnian's face.
He immediately freed one hand to wipe away his tears, and said haltingly, "My wife, if... if you really want to be the master's wife... I... I'll let you leave, after all... after all, he is... the one you should marry..."
"???" Wan Qiqi didn't understand.
What kind of wealthy man's wife?
What kind of person should I marry?
She looked puzzled, feeling that she and Chen Yongnian were not on the same page.
After a while, she suddenly realized what Chen Yongnian was referring to.
This blockhead probably thinks Wan Ziyan is the man she was supposed to marry, which is why she said something like that and even wanted to let her leave...
She rubbed her forehead and retorted, "Husband, we're family, why are you kicking me out?"
Chen Yongnian was startled by Wan Qiqi's words and hurriedly explained, "No...no, I don't want my wife to leave. I want to stay with you forever."
