Chapter 136: Their Trust Had Long Since Collapsed

Qin Yunshu felt distressed, "But the Cheng Family has already called off the engagement."

"With Chu Li here, this engagement cannot be called off," Lady Qin comforted her daughter.

Just as they were speaking, Chu Li arrived.

Qin Yunshu lay on the hospital bed, looking exceptionally frail, her eyes filled with tears.

Lady Qin wiped away her tears and lamented, "Yun Shu hasn't said a single word since she woke up. I'm worried she still can't let go..."

Chu Li's expression was extremely complex; because Cheng Han wanted to call off the engagement, he simply hadn't come to see Qin Yunshu at all.

"Yun Shu," he called out.

Qin Yunshu's eyes were red and swollen, her voice hoarse, "I know he came, but he isn't willing to see me. Does he think I'm dirty? He thinks I'm dirty."

Tears fell unrestrainedly, full of despair.

"Does he know about what happened back then?"

Qin Yunshu cried until she was on the verge of fainting.

Lady Qin held her and urged, "Stop crying, Yun Shu, your body cannot take it."

"Brother," Qin Yunshu grabbed Chu Li's clothes, kneeling on the bed, "Brother, I beg you, help me one more time."

Chu Li sighed; he was also moved in his heart.

"Must it be Cheng Han?"

He saw clearly that Cheng Han did not care much for Qin Yunshu in his heart.

Qin Yunshu's eyes were red and puffy, looking exceptionally pitiful.

"But I only like him."

Before, because she liked him, she wanted to marry Cheng Han.

Now, she wanted to win against Cheng Wan, and she also wanted to marry Cheng Han.

Cheng Han had become her obsession.

"Yun Shu."

"Brother, you promised me back then that you would let me marry Cheng Han."

Qin Yunshu sobbed, tears rolling down, "I only have this one wish."

"For the sake of the time I saved you, Brother, help me one more time."

Chu Li's throat felt parched, "Alright."

He agreed.

Qin Yunshu let out a sigh of relief; she knew that whatever Chu Li promised, he would certainly fulfill.

In the end, she would still become Cheng Han's wife.

This was what Chu Li owed her.

Cheng Wan had stayed in Yiyuan for two days.

She and Chu Li were still in a cold war.

When she was discharged, only the family servants came to pick her up.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Han came as well.

He looked around, didn't see Chu Li, and his expression immediately turned sour.

"Where is he?"

Cheng Wan didn't know what he was planning, but she wanted more information about Lin Qingya, so she had some patience for Cheng Han.

"You know, I had an argument with him."

Cheng Han helped her carry her things and said earnestly again, "I'm serious, you and Chu Li are already divorced, leave him."

Cheng Wan smiled bitterly, "It's not that I don't want to leave, it's that Chu Li refuses to let me go."

He said a life for a life; this was a transaction.

Although occasionally she didn't really want this child, every time she thought about giving up, the child stayed stubbornly in her womb.

It made her unable to bear it.

Cheng Han didn't know what he was thinking of, and he became slightly distracted.

Until a call filled with sobs came from the end of the corridor.

"Cheng Han."

It was Qin Yunshu, supported by Lady Qin, her face covered in tear tracks.

Cheng Han was still carrying Cheng Wan's bag, and he lifted his eyes indifferently, "Something the matter?"

He was very cold.

Qin Yunshu bit her lip and walked up to him, her eyes misty, yet a forced smile appeared on her face.

"You... you didn't come to see me."

She glanced at the bag in his hand, feeling extremely jealous.

Cheng Wan truly had her ways.

"I'm very busy," Cheng Han said with a somewhat impatient "tsk," "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

Qin Yunshu pinched her palms, her lips trembling, "Cheng Han, we were together back then, our feelings were so good, how could you..."

How could you have changed your heart?

She choked up and couldn't continue.

Cheng Han's expression was very faint, without the slightest intention of being tender toward the fairer sex.

"Between a man and a woman, isn't breaking up quite normal?"

He dropped this sentence and turned to chase after Cheng Wan as she left.

Qin Yunshu chased after her for two steps, then stopped.

It was all Cheng Wan; she was hogging Chu Li, wanting her best friend to hog Cheng Han.

They wanted to snatch her man away.

Downstairs, Cheng Wan waited for the car to arrive.

Cheng Han stood beside her, still saying the same thing, "If you want to leave Chu Li, I can help."

Cheng Wan looked at him calmly.

"If you really want to help, then let Lin Qingya go."

"I guarantee she will leave Yuncheng and will not appear in front of you again."

Cheng Han's languid expression sank instantly, "Impossible."

Cheng Wan did not speak again.

Cheng Wan returned to Beicheng Villa.

As soon as she entered the door, she heard a familiar voice.

She walked quickly into the living room and saw Wen Ping'an.

Having just been discharged from the hospital, Wen Ping'an's complexion was still a bit pale, and he was currently playing with toys.

Chu Li sat on the sofa, his expression somewhat gentle.

Faced with such a warm scene, Cheng Wan felt a chill run through her entire body.

She walked over with her whole body almost completely tense.

Wen Ping'an had not seen her for a long time; he immediately rushed over to hug her leg, calling her with a sweet voice.

"Mommy."

Cheng Wan forced a smile and ruffled his hair.

She asked a servant to take Wen Ping'an to play somewhere else.

Subsequently, her gentle voice turned into a repressed, hysterical interrogation.

"Chu Li, you are using Ping'an to threaten me, aren't you?"

Chu Li narrowed his eyes and had already stood up.

He saw Wen Ping'an, but instead of the joy he had imagined, there was only interrogation and suspicion.

"Cheng Wan, in your heart, am I that kind of person?"

Cheng Wan dug her nails into her palms, restraining the emotions that were about to collapse.

She smiled ironically.

"Yes, in my heart, you are exactly that kind of person."

"Let me guess, you brought Ping'an here because of Qin Yunshu, right? You're afraid I'll go find Qin Yunshu again, aren't you?"

Her eyes were full of mockery, without a shred of trust.

Their trust had long since collapsed.

Chu Li watched her quietly, his thin lips pressed into a mocking arc.

"Yes."

He admitted it.

Anyway, in her heart, everything he did for her had an ulterior motive.

Even if he explained, she would not believe him.

He glanced at Wen Ping'an, who was playing happily nearby, his tone indifferent.

"So you had better stay here obediently and nurture the fetus, otherwise I don't know what I might do to that little brat."

Cheng Wan dug her nails into her palms hard, "Chu Li, he just finished surgery not long ago."

He was so cold-blooded, bringing Wen Ping'an here.

Completely disregarding the child's health.

Chu Li's face was dark, his deep gaze becoming increasingly cold and biting.

"I am the one who saved his life."

Cheng Wan's throat felt blocked, unable to speak, only mist filling her eyes.

Cold, heartless words rang out.

"So you had better stay at home obediently to nurture the fetus and fulfill our agreement."

Cheng Wan loosened her palms bit by bit, her eyes red, her face snow-white.

She looked toward Wen Ping'an over there.

Her heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife.

Her voice was hoarse, filled with both hatred and compromise.

"Fine, I'll be obedient, send him back to the Wen Family."

She had compromised once again.

For the sake of Wen Ping'an, she had no choice but to compromise.

She hated her own powerlessness.

Chu Li just looked at her, cold and heartless.

Cheng Wan's nerves tightened instantly, her eyes blurred with tears, her voice suddenly sharp, "Send him away then."

Wen Ping'an heard this; he trotted over on his short legs, hugged Cheng Wan's leg, and looked up with his little face, asking worriedly.

"Mommy, why are you crying?"
