Chapter 113: Putting Wen Ping'an with Old Madam Wen, was it to guard against me?

When Old Master Chu mentioned Qin Yun Shu, even his stable emotions could not hold up.

Only then did Cheng Wan realize how unwelcome Qin Yun Shu was in the Chu family.

But thinking about how Chu Li was there, other people's opinions did not matter.

Madam Chu glanced coldly at Cheng Wan, "Qin Yun Shu was at least recognized through a recognition banquet; Cheng Wan has already divorced A Li, so even if she is carrying one in her belly, it is still an illegitimate child."

She would never acknowledge the child in Cheng Wan's belly.

"Enough." Old Master Chu's expression was ugly, "These five percent of shares are a personal gift from me, and have nothing to do with you."

Madam Chu threw down her bowl and chopsticks and left.

The meal was eaten in depression.

In the end, Cheng Wan did not take the shares.

On the way back, she and Chu Li sat on opposite sides, neither of them speaking.

During this time, her phone rang twice.

Cheng Wan did not answer either time.

Later, she simply put her phone on silent.

Returning to Beicheng Villa, Chu Li went to take a shower, and Cheng Wan took her phone to the balcony.

She called back.

The person on the other end of the phone asked, "We have checked that you have scheduled an abortion surgery; can you come over for an examination next Monday?"

Cheng Wan closed her eyes and answered in a low voice, "Okay."

She hung up the phone, her palm covering her lower abdomen.

"I'm sorry."

There were tears in her eyes, full of reluctance.

But she had no choice.

She once wanted a child too, and wanted to be a mother.

But she could not do it now.

She could not allow herself to have a weakness.

She could not let herself be trapped by Chu Li's side again.

The Twenty-Four Solar Terms Perfume, that was the dying wish of Xingwan and her master; she had to take it back.

And Grandma's death, she had to seek justice from Qin Yun Shu.

The night of early autumn carried a chill.

By the time Chu Li came looking for her, she was already covered in cold air.

Chu Li held her palm, his brows and eyes weary, "Why have you been outside for so long?"

Cheng Wan put away all her thoughts and turned to enter the room.

"Go get some rest."

"Wanwan." Chu Li looked at her thin back, his voice deep.

Cheng Wan turned sideways to look at him.

Chu Li walked in front of her, his fingers brushing her soft cheek, "Did you put Wen Ping'an with Old Madam Wen to guard against me?"

He asked straightforwardly, his lips pursed, his eyes filled with unknown emotions.

The warm light fell on Cheng Wan's face, and she looked up at Chu Li, explaining very calmly.

"I don't have the ability to raise him to adulthood right now, so I entrusted him to Old Madam Wen."

Chu Li's expression softened a little, "I have that ability, Wanwan, why don't you consider me?"

He was fishing for some clues.

A cold smile tugged at the corners of Cheng Wan's lips, "I don't dare."

Grandma and Wen Ping'an, Chu Li had both used them to manipulate her, and even this child in her belly was a bargaining chip.

How could she dare to hand Wen Ping'an over to Chu Li?

For a few seconds, Chu Li could not breathe.

He could hear her resentment.

"Wanwan."

Cheng Wan interrupted him, "It's hard to get some free time, go get some rest."

She took her clothes and went to the bathroom.

When the door closed, her heart was thumping.

She hoped Chu Li hadn't noticed anything.

When she came out after her shower, Chu Li was already asleep.

His face was pale, his brows furrowed; even in sleep, he was full of worries.

Cheng Wan lay down beside him, her mind still in chaos because of the examination next Monday.

Chu Li rested at home for two days, and his body was much better.

Early Monday morning, he sent Cheng Wan to the hospital before going to work.

Cheng Wan first went to see Wen Ping'an, and after confirming that his condition was good, she left the hospital and took a taxi to another private hospital with good privacy.

She was still conflicted in her heart, finally convincing herself that it was just an examination and not an immediate surgery.

After the examination was done.

The doctor advised, "Miss Cheng, I do not suggest you have the surgery; if you lose this child, you may lose the chance to be a mother forever."

Her body had suffered damage, and even though Chinese medicine had allowed her to conceive again, it still required special attention.

Not to mention surgery.

Although the fetus is still small, a miscarriage causes exceptionally great harm to the mother's body.

This is also the reason why Cheng Wan chose to come to Yiyuan; she ultimately still hopes to have the opportunity to be a mother in the future.

Cheng Wan smiled bitterly: "Is there no other way?"

The doctor shook their head, "Your body does not allow it."

Cheng Wan touched her lower abdomen, unable to harden her heart in the end, "I will consider it further."

She was reluctant to let go after all.

She took the examination report and left.

Just as she reached the corridor, she heard a familiar voice.

Not far away, Madam Chu was pulling at a woman and slapped her hard across the face.

"You shameless vixen, all you know how to do is seduce men."

A middle-aged man stood beside the woman; he shoved Madam Chu hard and shouted, "Are you crazy?"

Madam Chu fell heavily to the ground.

Someone who usually valued face the most did not climb up immediately after falling to the ground this time, but instead looked at the man in pain.

"Chu Bolin, I am your wife."

She roared heavily, filled with despair toward her husband.

Chu Bolin looked at her with disgust, "If it weren't for you dragging things out, we would have divorced long ago."

"You..."

"Zhou Lin, I told you long ago, let's divorce and give each other freedom, but you have always occupied that position."

Tears rolled down Madam Chu's face.

She wanted to climb up, but the fall just now had sprained her ankle.

At this moment, she could not stand up.

All of her pride and self-esteem were shattered to pieces here.

That marriage was something she had always tried hard to maintain, but what did she get? It was her husband's betrayal.

And the accusations under the public gaze at this moment.

"Why is Madam Chu still lingering on the ground? Could she be trying to extort Bolin?"

The young woman beside Chu Bolin covered her mouth and giggled, delicate and beautiful.

Madam Chu gritted her teeth in hatred.

But she could not stand up.

Just when she was in despair, a hand suddenly reached out from under her arm; that hand gave her strength and helped her up with force.

She turned her head, saw a familiar face, and was stunned in shock.

"Cheng Wan?"

Cheng Wan ignored her and instead looked coldly at the man and woman in front of her.

The middle-aged man, Chu Bolin, was Chu Li's biological father and the eldest young master of the Chu family; he had completely inherited the philandering nature of Old Master Chu, his private life was very chaotic, and it had once reached the point of wanting to divorce Madam Chu.

Later, Old Master Chu stepped in and kicked him directly out of the core circle of family interests, leaving him with only an idle position in the company.

And he never returned home from then on.

The woman beside him was likely a new flame.

Cheng Wan had only met Chu Bolin once when the Qin and Chu families had a meal back when she married Chu Li.

She only knew that this man was unfaithful, but she did not know he was so vile as to lay hands on a woman.

"Qin Xingwan? No, Cheng Wan." Chu Bolin recognized Cheng Wan.

He had a very good appearance; even though he was already fifty, he looked refined and dashing.

He had the capital to be very attractive to women.

"Take this crazy woman away." He pointed at Madam Chu and ordered Cheng Wan, "Don't make a scene and lose face here."
