Sweet Chief Secretary - Chapter 464

“I’ll pick up my son from school. I forgot to tell you that I adopted a child. He is six years old and is in preschool now. You have done too many bad things, so this is a blessing for you.” Wanru hung up the phone while speaking. She had nothing more to talk to someone like him.

She adopted a child? Such a big misunderstanding! Zhang Hanyu threw the mobile phone aside in distraction. It seemed that he was indeed so possessed by the devil that he actually suspected her.

But who was framing Wanru? Zhang Hanyu made a phone call and asked some people to investigate quickly. He promised that all of them would be taught a lesson if they were found out.

Xia Yu told Xi Xi a story in the hospital for a while, and then her phone rang. She took it out and found it was from Yang Ke’er. She must have seen this microblog as well without doubt.

“Xia Yu, it’s rumored that Wanru is a mistress on the Internet! What is it? Hey, I’m almost crazy.” Yang Ke’er asked Xia Yu.

Xia Yu told her everything about it. When speaking of Cheng Xi’s being beaten, Xia Yu heard a scream through the phone.

“How can there be such a crazy woman? She is really a beast. How could she beat such a little kid? By the way, how is Cheng Xi now?” Yang Ke’er said angrily.

“He’s in the hospital now, and I’m taking care of him. Wanru went to the police station.” Xia Yu said.

“Well, you just stay with him. I’ll handle this matter. Rest assured. I’ll make the woman kneel down and beg for mercy definitely.” Yang Ke’er hung up the phone and started to make a plan.

Just after putting the phone down, Xia Yu got a call from Zhou Yan. “Xia Yu, you just live in Wanru’s home these two days, so can you tell me what happened on earth? I don’t believe what I have seen on the Internet.”

Xia Yu repeated the words she told Yang Ke’er just now and also told him that Cheng Xi was bullied at school before.

After more than three hours, Zhou Yan rushed to the hospital. It was very late, and Cheng Xi was asleep. So, Xia Yu came out of the ward with him.

“Are you tired?” Xia Yu asked with a smile.

“No. Is Cheng Xi better?” He glanced at the ward.

“He is better. He has to stay in hospital for another day, and the day after tomorrow, he may be able to leave the hospital. That woman is too evil. There is no end to this matter.” Thinking about such a little child’s being beaten, Xia Yu’s heart ached.

Zhou Yan shook his head and said, “I really didn’t expect that crazy woman would be cruel enough to hurt a child. Wanru must be very distressed, right? You don’t know that she has made so many efforts to adopt Cheng Xi.”

“Of course, she has. She has cried several times.” Xia Yu sighed. Cheng Xi was such a poor kid indeed. Both his parents died, and his house was seized by his uncle and aunt.

Xia Yu introduced the situation of Cheng Xi’s family to Zhou Yan. The child was very young, while he was really so clever and sensible. No wonder that Wanru loved him so much.

“By the way, what about you and Shen Yan?” After knowing the situation, Zhou Yan changed the topic.

“Just like that.” Xia Yu didn’t want to mention him.

“Actually, Shen Yan did not tell you that he had transferred Zeng Mina away because he wanted to protect you.” Zhou Yan really did not expect that Madame Zeng would bite the hand that fed her, and this time, she really gave a hard time to Shen Yan. Although Zhou Yan didn’t like to interfere in other people’s affairs, he thought he should persuade Xia Yu. “Do you know? Actually, Aunt Jiang has not recovered yet now. It is not because she is too brainsick to recover, but just because some people don’t want her to recover. After I talked to my classmate and he fed Aunt Jiang medicine in person, she is much better. Last time I gave her some pictures to recognize, and she could recognize a few of them. But after seeing the pattern of a dragon, she screamed out of shock. It seems that she has seen the pattern before the incident.”

“What does this mean? It means that she saw someone attacking Ningjing with a dragon-shaped object just when she came in, or there was such a pattern in the room at that time?” Xia Yu ignored Shen Yan directly and went straight to the point.

“It’s unclear now, and I want to ask Aunt Jiang after she is a little better.” Zhou Yan was also very excited because he would know the truth soon, which had been his wish for many years.

The two people were talking, and unexpectedly, Shen Yan appeared, walking so quickly. When he walked in, he suddenly stopped, looking at Xia Yu and Zhou Yan stiffly.

Zhou Yan stood up and said with a smile, “Shen Yan, why are you here?”

“I come to see the child.” He glanced at Xia Yu’s face with his eyes, gradually changing his eyes.

“Xi Xi is fine now. Young Master Yan, thank you for your concern. It’s very late, and it’s okay since Xia Yu and I are here. Young Master Yan, Zhou Yan, please go back.” Wanru happened to come there, so she said politely.

Shen Yan didn’t move, but looked at Xia Yu deeply and said, “I want to talk to you alone.”

But Xia Yu didn’t want to talk to him now. They were facing off, and then there was a crisp sound in the ward with a bang, as if something had been broken. Xia Yu’s face changed. She immediately ran to the ward and pushed open the door.

“Xi Xi!” Xi Xi had woken up and sat up on the sickbed, and there was a broken water glass on the ground.

He anxiously apologized to Xia Yu and told her that he just wanted to drink water, but he didn’t hold the glass steadily.

Xia Yu patted his head and comforted him softly. She then asked for a paper cup from the nurse’s station and poured some water for him.

“Young Master Yan, I just have something to tell you, so let’s go together.” Zhou Yan might have figured out that Xia Yu didn’t want to talk to Shen Yan. It was not a good idea for them to continue to stand still in a deadlock like this, so he took the initiative to pull Shen Yan away.

Xia Yu and Wanru spent the whole night in the hospital taking care of Xi Xi. The next day he was much better and pestered Xia Yu to tell him a story. Wanru went out to buy breakfast while Xia Yu was telling a story to Xi Xi, but she got a call from Zhang Hanyu on the way.

He offered to meet her, while Wanru refused coldly as she didn’t want. After a short while, he called her again, saying that he had something really important to tell her, so she finally agreed.

After that, she called Xia Yu and then took a taxi to the appointed place. Zhang Hanyu was already there when she arrived. After entering the private room, Wanru sat down opposite him with a sulky face.

“Wanru, I’m sorry that I misunderstood you yesterday.” Zhang Hanyu was quite straightforward. He didn’t talk nonsense but apologized directly.

“Nothing. I don’t mind it too much. If I did, I’m afraid that I would be pissed off. After all, there are so many people scolding me on the Internet.” She said with a bit of self-mockery in her tone.

Zhang Hanyu’s color changed. He said, “Wanru, I’m just like those strangers in your heart? I would rather you were angry with me. It is okay for you to beat me or scold me. I’ll feel better if you do so.”

“Zhang Hanyu, I don’t want to talk about this again.” Those things he did were not much better than those things which some strangers did, were they?

Zhang Hanyu tightened his grip on the glass, looking at Wanru deeply and sighing silently. After a long while, he said, “A security guard of the school has disclosed the whole story on the Internet. The public opinion has turned now.”

“Then I really have to thank the security guard of that school.” Wanru said coldly, “If you have nothing else to say, I will leave first. Xia Yu has to go to work, so I can’t be here for too long.”

Wanru didn’t even look at him. She stood up from her seat and walked towards the door.

“Wanru, you don’t even want to talk to me. In fact, you are still angry with me, right?” Zhang Hanyu said, looking at Wanru’s back. “Is Xia Yu fine?”

“Could you be fine if you were Xia Yu?” The corners of Wanru’s mouth twitched. She pushed open the door of the room and went out.

The lawyer went to the hospital to visit Xi Xi at noon and went to the Public Security Bureau in the afternoon.

Walking out of the Public Security Bureau, the lawyer called Wanru, telling her that everything was arranged.

“Thank you for your hard work.” Wanru expressed her sincere thanks.

“Nothing. I want to do something else for you, while I don’t have the ability, not like President Zhang. I just heard him talking on the phone and saying that he would make the company of the woman, who got you beaten, go bankrupt directly, but I don’t know who he was talking to.”

Hearing the words of the lawyer, Wanru was stunned for a while. She really didn’t expect Zhang Hanyu to take any actions. After hanging up the phone, she hesitated for a long time, but finally, she did not call Zhang Hanyu to ask him about what the lawyer had just said.

“I just want to do something for you and the kid. It’s my compensation.” Zhang Hanyu said. He had thought for a long time after Wanru left. Seeing Xi Xi, he thought of himself in those days, who was an illegitimate child and suffered so much.

He felt that no one was more hapless than himself, but the things which Xi Xi had experienced made him sympathetic. Although he didn’t have a father, he still had a mother, while Xi Xi had nothing.

This time he did this for both Xi Xi and himself.

In the end, the woman who injured Cheng Xi was detained for fifteen days. Within one month, Wanru heard the news that her company had gone bankrupt, which was definitely done by Zhang Hanyu in private.

Although Wanru thought this kind of retaliation was somewhat brutal, it really helped to vent her anger. She didn’t care about it so much, and she still went to work and picked up the kid from school as usual.

On this day, when she just picked up the child, she met the fat woman, who pointed Wanru with her fingers with red eyes. “Bitch, you are good. I’ll remember this.”

Wanru was too lazy to care about her, so she just left with Xi Xi directly. When she arrived at the gate of the community, she just saw that Xia Yu was waving to her. She hurriedly waved her hand to Xia Yu. When she intended to walk to Xia Yu, she was stopped by a few young men who looked so rascally.

“You are Zhang Hanyu’s ex-wife? So ordinary! You’ve been divorced from him for so long, but he still cares about you in his mind.” Wanru was surrounded by them.

“What are you going to do? I’ll call the police!” Wanru was so scared, holding Xi Xi in her arms to protect him.

“Just call the police! We have done nothing to you. There are surveillance cameras here, so you can’t wrong us.” Those people said indifferently.

“Mom, I’m scared!” Xi Xi was so frightened as he had never seen such a scene.

Seeing that something happened over here, Xia Yu hurried to them.

“Hey! Isn’t this Miss Xia?” Someone among this group of people recognized Xia Yu.

Xia Yu looked at them carefully, finding that they were Li Tianci’s men. The leader, Brother Xing, was the one who had abducted her once.

But what were they doing here? Xia Yu immediately wondered whether she had got Wanru in trouble.

“It is Li Tianci who made you here, right? Come at me if you want to do something. It has nothing to do with my friend.” Xia Yu said loudly.

“Miss Xia, I think that you misunderstood it. Brother Tianci didn’t send us here for you. Haven’t we told you that it was Zeng Ziqiang who wanted to deal with you before, not Brother Tianci? Zeng Ziqiang is dead. You have nothing against Brother Tianci, so he will not hurt you. “Seeing that Xia Yu misunderstood it, the group of people explained to her very patiently.

“Then why are you surrounding my friend?” Xia Yu snapped.

“This woman, along with her ex-husband, bought Brother Xing’s cousin’s company. We just want to see who she is on earth.” A man with yellow hair took two steps towards the front of Xia Yu and said with a smile, “We really just looked at her and didn’t do anything else. Miss Xia, you know that we are all decent people.”
