Another Chance To Love - Chapter 92

“What do you mean, you don’t want to marry me?” Mo Bingwen glared at her with a threatening glance. They seemed to share a look which the three elders noticed immediately and their parents could instantly tell that there was something the couple was not telling them.

Su Menxiang suppressed the dėsɨrė to scream that he was threatening her but she didn’t dare say anything but instead chose to focus on begging her father. “Dad…”

Su Liangzi looked at Tang Huizhong helplessly, torn between the urge to side with his daughter and the reasonable decision to do the right thing; protect his unborn grandchild.

He closed his eyes in regret as he retrieved his sleeve from his daughter’s desperate grip. “Menxiang, you have to marry Bingwen. It’s the only way your child can have a decent name. I don’t want him to be scorned by the society just because we decided to be selfish. You need to think about your child.”

Mo Bingwen smiled subtly in satisfaction when he saw the utter despair on his fiancee’s face. He had foiled her plans to sacrifice their unborn child just to save him. He didn’t mind leaving this world as long as he could see his child’s face before he died. He bowed his head to Su Liangzi in gratitude. “Thank you, Father-in-law. I will make sure I will take care of her and protect her for the rest of my life.”

Su Liangzi felt annoyed when he didn’t hear any proclamations of love from Mo Bingwen like in the past but he restrained himself from saying anything in the presence of his two senior brothers. He was sure that both of them were also displeased with the situation and were only refraining from scolding him because of his weak health. He wasn’t going to cross the limit either. “Then the matter is settled. I should retire now. Menxiang, please help me see them off.”

Su Menxiang stood up to support her father to stand up before she respectfully directed them out of the house, avoiding eye contact with Mo Bingwen. Both of them had intentionally slowed down their paces and soon, Mo Bingwen grabbed her arm to pull her close to him playing with a strand of her hair as he whispered. “So what do you think? It will be better to hold the wedding as soon as possible before your belly grows…”

Menxiang scowled and tried to retrieve her arm back but at the same time lower her voice so that she didn’t alert their elders walking in front of them. “I am afraid you are just wasting your time, Bingwen. I have already told you that this baby won’t be born.”

Mo Bingwen narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip on her arm, making her yelp as he looked at her with icy blue eyes. “I am afraid that you are the one that is mistaken, Menxiang. I will not allow you to kill my baby, do you understand? You can hate and scorn the child growing in you but it will be born.”

Both elders who had purposely walked ahead in order to give them some time to talk suddenly stopped when they heard her. Mo Xuanqing asked her with his heart pounding in his ċhėst. “Menxiang, what do you mean? What did you just say right now?”

Menxiang felt more desperate than ever and suddenly she realized that she should have done this a long time ago. She fell to her knees, her legs hitting the ground as her tears spilled out of her eyes. “Please, Father. Help me save Bingwen….I don’t know what to do!”

Mo Bingwen was shocked at her actions, his eyes full of anxiety and alarm as he said. “Menxiang, don’t!”

Menxiang ignored his warning and told them the truth. “Bingwen is dying. He was poisoned by a royal poison made by the Su family, the Blue Grail Nightshade. And it’s all my fault……..”

Mo Xuanqing struggled to process what Menxiang was saying, his body trembling at the news and soon, he nearly lost his balance but luckily, Tang Huizhong who was his side was able to support him immediately. “Didi, calm down. Take a deep breath…”

Su Menxiang broke down crying as she blamed herself incessantly but Tang Huizhong wasn’t willing to cause a scene because he was still cautious of Su Liangzi’s health and he was afraid that he would somehow hear the commotion happening outside. “We should continue this conversation in your house, Bingwen. Take her and come with me.”

As they all left the Su residence to talk in another location far away from Su Menxiang’s father, the Wen mansion was not in a better condition at that moment because for the first time in a long time, Wen Honglin had returned home in a fit throwing and breaking things as he raged around. The maids were so scared that they didn’t dare come out but had no choice but to speak with the butler who immediately ran to inform Wen Qiqiang about the case.

Wen Qiqiang came in his pajamas in the middle of night from his house to meet his daughter-in-law trying to pacify her son but it seemed the more she tried to coax his anger, the more infuriated and impatient he seemed. Wen Qiqiang said to her. “Ying’er, you should go to bed, I will take care of this.”

He resisted the urge to curse that his incompetent son who should have been the one to talk to his grandson but as always, the coward chose to hide under the pretense of deep sleep. He waited until his daughter-in-law had shut her door before he hit cane on the floor. “Now, can you tell me why you decided to cause a big scene in the middle of the night, disturbing not only my sleep but the rest of the neighborhood all of a sudden?”

Wen Qiqiang narrowed his eyes and continued to interrogate him. “Who beat you up like this?”

Wen Honglin swallowed and said. “It was Tang Huizhong! He decided to interfere in my plans to infiltrate the Tang company and you can only imagine what happened after that!”

Wen Qiqiang chucked, leaving his grandson befuddled at his serene attitude. He sat down and gave a vicious chuckle, thinking about the talk he had with his friend this morning. “Don’t worry, Honglin. This Grandpa will make sure that you will be avenged soon.. I am currently plotting a very devious plan to take care of the Tang family. Just trust me!”
