Another Chance To Love - Chapter 93

As the two men discussed in low tones downstairs, Wen Honglin’s mother had dutifully obeyed her father-in-law and gone to retire to her bed when she saw a particular figure stirring on the bed. “Husband, are you now awake?”

Wen Tianxiang stiffened seeing that he had been caught so he rubbed his eyes sleepily in fake pretense when he asked his wife. “Uh, I heard what happened downstairs so I had no choice but to wake up. Tell me, what is wrong with our son?”

Wen Honglin’s mother shook her head in confusion when she had managed to cover herself with the bedsheets, saying worriedly. “I don’t know why Lin’er is being so aggressive these days. He seems to be in a bad mood recently and he never tells me anything. Don’t you think you should go and talk to him?”

Wen Tianxiang unconsciously shrank away from his wife’s pleading gaze as he looked for an excuse to avoid going downstairs. “He is now a man, Ying’er. We should refrain from meddling into his private matters. As his parents, our only duty is to support him and guide him when it is necessary.”

His wife seemed to agree with his eloquent advice, making him relax in relief that he had managed to avoid the most terrifying duo he had ever met in his life, his father and son. He couldn’t not endure their intimidating aura or deposition when it came to matters like this so he had grown wary of them.

Wen Honglin’s mother seemed reassured by the sudden calmness that had returned to the house so she went back into the arms of her husband and Wen Tianxiang took that opportunity to process the news that he had overheard from the conversation between his father and that woman the last time she had come to visit them. He found it very hard to believe even though he had heard it with his own ears!

His junior sister, Shen Guiying…….and Tang Huizhong’s wife…..

This was the biggest secret that he had scumbled on throughout his life! For the first time, everything that seemed strange in the past seemed to make sense now that he thought about it and he intended to take full advantage of the secret weapon that he now had in his arsenal to deal with the Tang family. He didn’t believe that they would dare be so lofty after he released some rumors about this issue, every gossip just needs someone to spread it, he could hire some people to take care of that…..

He couldn’t help but sigh when he considered some complications to his plans like the fact that this scandal would definitely entangle the Shen family since they were also involved but that only meant that he would be killing two birds with one stone and the Wen family will eventually emerge as the winner after this. Besides, no one knew that he was aware of this secret anyway…..

“Husband, are you not going to sleep? Why are you still awake?” His wife lifted her head from his embrace after she had felt his unusual movements beside her. “Do you want me to make you a cup of tea to help you relax?”

The day after, Bai Jihai had chosen to stay at home and work from there in order to accompany Chunlan who was feeling depressed from her blindness. It was one of those rare days where she felt sad that she couldn’t see anything and Bai Jihai had sensed it immediately he woke up. She felt very warm knowing that he was here with her unlike the times where she had to hide her pain so her family wouldn’t be worried.

She was eating some tangerines that her fiancee had peeled for her when she heard some people arguing from outside the house in a loud voice, causing her to frown. “What’s going on? What is happening?”

Bai Jihai calmed her down when she was about to get up, ordering one of the bodyguards to check on what was going on outside. “Don’t get up, we will know very soon.”

A few minutes later, Su Menxiang ran into the house crying as she approached them looking very heartbroken. Chunlan supported her when she sat down beside her, comforting her as Mo Bingwen arrived a few seconds after them. Menxiang screamed at him. “Go away, Bingwen! I don’t want to marry you, you can’t force me!”

Mo Bingwen chuckled coldly, his icy gaze falling on her as he replied. “I am afraid that you no longer have a choice. You have successfully driven my father to despair and I can’t help but return the favor. You will become my wife with or without your consent. If you are so capable, you can go and whɨnė to your father.”

Chunlan glared at the direction of his voice, wondering what had gotten into Bingwen to make him say such harsh words to her friend. “Enough, stop being so rude to Menxiang or I won’t be courteous to you anymore!”

Bai Jihai who had been watching the scene noticed the displeasure on Chunlan’s face and sighed. He saw that although Bingwen was behaving a little harsh right now, the pain in his friend’s eyes was unmistakable so he defended his friend. “Chunlan, we shouldn’t judge so impatiently without hearing his side first. Bingwen, let’s go inside the study first.”

Chunlan talked to her friend after she heard them climb the stairs so they could go to the study to talk. “Menxiang, tell me everything that happened.”

Menxiang narrated the whole story, starting from the part where Bingwen had confessed to her father that she was pregnant and the agreement of the two families to re-establish the engagement between the both of them. She felt so desperate that she had to tell his father the real reason why she was determined not to marry him. Mo Xuanqing, his father collapsed at home when he heard that his son was slowly dying and his grandchild was at great risk. She didn’t know what the doctor had told them but Mo Bingwen seemed very angry with her when she saw him outside just now. She grabbed her best friend’s hands and said.. “I have already told him that if he wants, I can have another child in the future, as many as he wants but he is being so stubborn about it. Tell me how am I supposed to go on if he abandons me in this world? Chunlan, please help me!”
