Chapter 103: Protect Qin Yunshu All You Want, But I Have Noted Down the Debt for Grandma's Death

The atmosphere in the living room was stagnant.

The servants all kept their distance.

Chu Li stood up, his tall, upright figure looking somewhat lonely and sorrowful in the light and shadow.

"Wanwan, that is also a child you would have to carry for ten months to give birth to."

How could she say she didn't want it?

Cheng Wan gripped her fingers tightly.

She had wanted to be a mother too; at the beginning, she had even actively cooperated by taking medicine.

But later, the child became a bargaining chip between them.

She felt it was cruel.

And she did not want to spend the rest of her life entangled with Chu Li over the child.

This was unfair to the child.

"Chu Li, it was Qin Yunshu who provoked Grandma, which is why Grandma passed away."

She said, unable to control her sobbing, "The witnesses are all there; are you still protecting her?"

Come to think of it, that caregiver had been arranged by Chu Li originally; it was only later, when Cheng Wan wanted to cut ties with him, that she took over paying the wages.

The caregiver's words were the best proof.

Grandma was killed by Qin Yunshu.

Chu Li's handsome face stiffened for a moment, his brows and eyes gloomy.

He knew that Cheng Wan was forcing him to take a stand.

"The dead cannot return to life." Chu Li also felt bitterness in his heart.

"Besides, she only went to ask Grandma for the truth after suddenly hearing that someone was impersonating her sister; it wasn't intentional." He tried to soothe Cheng Wan, "If it were you, knowing your own relative had met with misfortune, wouldn't you also be agitated?"

Cheng Wan smiled, tears in her eyes, looking exceptionally ironic.

"You mean to say that Grandma died because I impersonated Qin Xingwan, and that I am the one who killed Grandma?"

Pain flooded in.

It was impossible to let go.

Chu Li knitted his brows, "You know I didn't mean that."

"In your heart, Qin Yunshu is pure, kind, and flawless."

Cheng Wan understood everything; she knew how much he valued Qin Yunshu.

She had only wanted to get even a little bit of fairness from him.

The facts proved once again that it was all her own wishful thinking.

"Chu Li, you may protect Qin Yunshu all you want, but I have noted down the debt for Grandma's death."

She wouldn't be trapped by Chu Li's side for her whole life.

Life is long; she would eventually struggle her way out of this quagmire.

Chu Li saw astonishing hatred in her eyes.

His pupils constricted, and his complexion turned dark and heavy.

But a few seconds later, he reined in his temper and stopped discussing that sensitive topic.

"Go and rest first; guests are coming soon, and I have arranged dinner."

Cheng Wan went upstairs.

Ping'an had already been washed until he smelled fragrant and was sleeping on the large, soft bed.

Cheng Wan walked over gently, looking at his delicate face, tears welling up in her eyes.

She thought of Xingwan, thought of her master, and thought of Grandma.

Back then, everyone was so warm together, but the world is fickle; now, she was the only one left.

Fortunately, she had found Ping'an.

For the rest of her life, she would protect this child well.

After changing her clothes and washing up briefly, she lay down beside Ping'an, carefully resting her hand on him, and listening to his steady breathing, she also fell into a deep sleep.

She did not know that shortly after she fell asleep, Chu Li came in.

Looking at the sight of the big one and the small one sleeping in each other's arms, his heart was filled with softness.

He really wanted to lie down beside them too.

But because Cheng Wan had finally managed to get some rest, he could not disturb her and had to endure it.

He closed the door properly and called Assistant Wu to have him arrange the bone marrow donation.

Nowadays, only that little brat could make Cheng Wan happy.

He was willing to save him.

When Cheng Wan woke up, Ping'an was no longer by her side.

She was startled and hurried to find him.

As a result, she heard a burst of laughter in the living room.

Wen Ping'an was fiddling with building blocks.

On the sofa not far away, Chu Li was talking with Old Yu.

From time to time, he would even guide Wen Ping'an in putting the blocks together.

The scene was very harmonious.

Cheng Wan watched for a while before walking in.

"Old Yu," she greeted him.

Chu Li had already walked over, helped her sit down, and said softly, "I have invited Elder Yu to come and take a look at you."

Elder Yu had already taken out a pulse-reading cushion and gestured for Cheng Wan to rest her wrist upon it.

Cheng Wan did as instructed.

After waiting a few minutes, Elder Yu nodded and said, "The pulse is alright, it is just that your mood is constrained and needs to be eased."

He wrote out a prescription, and Chu Li arranged for someone to go and fetch it.

Elder Yu packed up his things and comforted Cheng Wan, "Grieve in moderation; Grandmother was concerned for you in her heart. If you are not well, her spirit in heaven will not be at peace either."

Cheng Wan's eyes turned red, and she nodded, "Yes, I know."

"For the sake of the child, you should also take good care of your health," Elder Yu reminded her.

"Okay."

Chu Li arranged for dinner.

After finishing the meal, Elder Yu went with them to the funeral home to pay his respects.

The funeral home was cold and desolate at this moment; Qin Shen and Qin Yunshu were burning paper money for Grandmother, looking truly like a pair of filial children and grandchildren.

Lady Qin tilted her head and dozed off.

After paying his respects, Elder Yu left by car.

Wen Lvzhong came to pick up Wen Ping'an and comforted Cheng Wan for a long time.

The two of them spoke in low voices for a while.

Qin Shen asked his younger sister, "Since Qin Xingwan is a fake, then what about that child?"

Qin Yunshu lowered her voice, "I think it is the older sister's."

Because the child has no relation to Cheng Wan, but when Cheng Wan was still Qin Xingwan, she said she was the child's biological mother.

Therefore, the child's former biological mother is likely the Qin Xingwan who died three years ago.

Qin Shen frowned, his eyes full of disgust, "So she really was pregnant out of wedlock, lacking self-respect."

Qin Yunshu also felt it was shameful, "It's likely she learned it from Cheng Wan. I went to inquire about it; this Cheng Wan was not well-behaved when she was at the orphanage. Not only did she steal things and snatch food, she was even… by others…"

She covered her mouth and did not continue.

In short, Cheng Wan is not a good person.

She switched to a soft tone, "Brother."

Qin Shen was equally grateful, "When I was away, thank you for taking care of Yun Shu."

"A Li, Father's health is poor, I want to stay behind."

He did not want to leave.

At this very moment, the time, the place, and the people were all in his favor.

He had a reason to stay.

Qin Yunshu bit her lip and pleaded, "Father is ill, and there are many things at the company that need Brother to make the decisions."

She glanced at Cheng Wan not far away and begged in a low voice, "A Li, if she is unwilling, I will go and beg her."

As she spoke, she started to walk over.

Chu Li's gaze became sharp.

Qin Yunshu froze in her tracks, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Qin Shen gritted his teeth, "A Li, she is an impostor, not the real Xingwan."

Chu Li narrowed his eyes, "So what?"

Qin Shen could not continue.

Because anyone could see that regardless of whether Cheng Wan is Qin Xingwan or not, what Chu Li likes is the person, not the identity.

Qin Shen did not want to provoke Chu Li's displeasure over this matter, so he went back to his own business.

"A Li, you have seen the situation at home; I am truly worried."

Qin Jianguo is still in the Yiyuan.

And the matters on the internet are still fermenting.

For the Qin Family, this is a massive blow.

If they cannot get through this crisis, they will go bankrupt.

But to get through this crisis is very difficult.

Qin Shen does not have that capability.
