Chapter 149: We Divorced Long Ago, No Need to Give Me

"Man-made?"

Wen Lvzhong could not believe it.

A chill rose in his heart.

"Who is it?"

Madam Wen's face turned deathly pale, filled with a deep fear of the past.

"Lvzhong, Qin Xingwan's death was fated; listen to your mother and don't get involved."

She begged her son, tears streaming down her face.

Wen Lvzhong only continued to ask: "Since you are so afraid, do you know that person?"

Madam Wen closed her eyes; she knew that once she spoke, Wen Lvzhong would inevitably get to the bottom of it.

But for her son's safety, there was no need to hide it anymore.

"It is someone from the Chu family."

Wen Lvzhong subconsciously looked back toward the hospital room.

The Chu family?

Does it have anything to do with Chu Li?

Or is it Old Master Chu?

Three years ago, although Chu Li was not yet the heir, he was already in power at the Chu Group.

Old Master Chu had not yet retired...

His head began to ache.

Madam Wen wiped away her tears and gently urged her son, "The Chu family covers the sky with one hand in Yuncheng; if you insist on going against them, you will not have a good end."

Wen Lvzhong was silent for a long time.

Finally, he urged Madam Wen to go back, "Don't tell Cheng Wan for now."

He would find out exactly what happened three years ago.

Madam Wen agreed, while simultaneously proposing her own condition, "Then promise me you will not marry Cheng Wan."

Wen Lvzhong rubbed his brow, "I understand."

Madam Wen left, heavy with worry.

Wen Lvzhong returned to the hospital room, where Cheng Wan was accompanying Wen Ping'an as he watched cartoons.

Seeing him enter, Cheng Wan asked, "What did your mother say?"

Wen Lvzhong did not mention those matters; he rubbed Wen Ping'an's hair, his voice gentle, "You know, she doesn't allow us to marry."

Cheng Wan laughed, "Now that I have completely ended things with Chu Li, a fake marriage is no longer necessary; you can tell her that."

Wen Lvzhong lowered his voice, "My mother said my father is in poor health, so I plan to go back."

The "going back" he spoke of did not mean simply going home, but following the path Madam Wen hoped for.

Cheng Wan was surprised for a moment before accepting it.

"Have you decided?"

"I have." A trace of determination appeared in Wen Lvzhong's eyes, "Cheng Wan, please take Ping'an back to Bali Town first."

"I don't plan on returning to Bali Town either," Cheng Wan interrupted him, "I have reclaimed the ownership of the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Perfume and plan to set up a personal studio."

Now, she was no longer afraid that Chu Li would interfere.

Wen Lvzhong thought about it and agreed with this.

Staying in Yuncheng meant he could at least help if something happened.

After Wen Ping'an was discharged from the hospital, Cheng Wan and Wen Lvzhong transferred his household registration and changed his name.

Following Qin Xingwan, he took the surname Qin.

Cheng Wan began to entrust an agent to find a suitable studio.

Finally, she found a shop not far from her house.

After running around for a week, she completed all the paperwork.

On the first day of opening, friends she knew sent flower baskets.

Even Chu Li had Assistant Wu send one.

Cheng Wan offered a faint word of thanks, appearing exceptionally calm.

Three months later.

Cheng Wan's studio was already taking shape.

She had become busy and hired an assistant and a housekeeper to help her with work and look after Wen Ping'an.

As for Chu Li, she had not seen him again.

Of course, she could occasionally see information about him in the news.

The Chu Group had invested in the new energy sector, and Chu Li's net worth had risen, making him the youngest entrepreneur in Yuncheng.

Two scandals had circulated around him, but as soon as the news broke, it vanished without a trace.

Recently, the focus of the news was on the upcoming wedding of Cheng Han and Qin Yun Shu.

Cheng Han and Qin Yun Shu showed off their affection in the news, and with the embellishment of marketing accounts, Cheng Han and Qin Yun Shu became childhood sweethearts who grew up together.

The entire internet offered blessings.

Cheng Wan looked at those reports, her brows furrowed.

It had already been three months, and there was still no news of Lin Qingya...

"Sister Cheng, we're here," the assistant, Xiao Yu, reminded her.

She was having a prenatal check-up today, a rare moment of relaxation.

Putting away her phone, she got out of the car.

Tang Yisheng had specifically cleared time for her to perform the examination personally.

She handed the printed report to Cheng Wan and said gently, "The baby is doing very well, but your body is a bit weak. I will prescribe some supplements for you; remember to take them when you go back."

Cheng Wan thanked her and walked outside.

She instructed Xiao Yu to go get the supplements.

Just as she was speaking, her footsteps paused, and she looked at the man opposite her.

It was Chu Li, who was currently accompanying a young woman; the two were walking this way while holding a report.

Chu Li also saw her, but the expression on his face did not change; he merely nodded like an acquaintance.

Cheng Wan nodded as well.

They brushed past each other.

Chu Li accompanied the woman into Tang Yisheng's office.

Cheng Wan found a seat at random and sat down, waiting for the nurse to bring the supplements over.

Tang Yisheng's voice came from inside the office, "President Chu, these are Ms. Cheng's examination results."

Chu Li's indifferent voice came through: "We have long since divorced; there is no need to give them to me."

Tang Yisheng felt a bit awkward: "Very well."

He had clearly asked for them every month before; were they having another spat?

She did not dare to say anything and arranged for the woman to go for an examination.

Once Xiao Yu returned, Cheng Wan left promptly.

Back in the car, Cheng Wan closed her eyes, her palm resting on her lower abdomen.

At four months, the bump was not yet very obvious, but her palm could feel the slight protrusion.

In the end, she had chosen to keep this child.

It was not just because of her own physical condition.

It was even more because they were already connected by blood.

In the end, she could not bring herself to be that heartless.

Gradually, she leaned against the seat back and fell asleep.

She did not know how much time had passed when she was woken up by the ringing of her phone.

Wen Lvzhong's voice was composed: "Cheng Wan, Lin Qingya has been found."

All of Cheng Wan's sleepiness vanished.

"Where?"

"Yiyuan."

Cheng Wan had Xiao Yu pull over to the side.

"You go back first; I have something to take care of."

She turned the car around and headed to Yiyuan.

Just as the car came to a steady stop, another black car pulled up beside it.

Chu Li got out of the car.

The two exchanged a glance, said nothing, and both walked inside.

The Emergency Department.

Chu Li was tall with long legs; he walked ahead of Chu Li and entered the emergency room first.

The doctor said, "Someone hurt Ms. Qin."

Gauze was already wrapped around Qin Yun Shu's arm, and a pink color was faintly visible.

It was blood still seeping through.

Qin Yun Shu's face was pale as she called out aggrievedly, "Brother."

Chu Li's expression was gloomy, "Where is the perpetrator?"

"They have already been restrained by security."

"Throw them into the Police Station."

His tone was exceptionally cold.

Cheng Wan scanned the emergency room, but did not see Lin Qingya, so she hurried to ask a nurse.

She pulled out a photo from her phone: "Have you seen this woman?"

The nurse was stunned for a moment and said, "This is the woman who hurt Ms. Qin."

Cheng Wan's expression changed.

Lin Qingya hurt Qin Yun Shu?

How could that be possible?

She recalled the words Chu Li had spoken.

"Throw them into the Police Station."

She turned to look for Chu Li, only to find that Chu Li and Qin Yun Shu had left at some point.

She had no choice but to go to the security office to find Lin Qingya first.

After going downstairs, she saw the security guards pulling and dragging Lin Qingya, intending to shove her into a car.
