Chapter 98: I’m pregnant with his child
I stopped walking. There happened to be a bench for us to sit on. I went over and gestured Gao Jialan to sit down as well. After she was seated, I continued, “I wanted to hear you lie. I wanted you to tell me that there is no relationship between you and the Wen clan. But I know I’m just lying to myself. If you and the Wen clan have no relationship, why would Wen Yufan randomly appear in my living room? But what I don’t understand is why, you, as the granddaughter-in-law of the Wen clan, are not on the news? I have never seen any reports about you. Also, what are you running from?”
Gao Jialan sighed as she lifted her head. She had a mocking expression on her face. “Do you honestly think the Wen clan would allow an older woman with no background to be their granddaughter-in-law? An orphan? Yufan and I signed the marriage certificate secretly. Only the family is aware of this.”
Currently, I pictured Gao Jialan as Cinderella and Wen Yufan as the Prince.
“I’m not going to ask you the specifics. But the accident from a month ago…”
“Yufan and I signed the marriage certificate this Spring. But two months ago, his grandfather suddenly brought Wen Yihan home and announced to everyone that he was his son. Although the company seemed to be functioning fine on the surface, all the family members were going nuts. Originally, Yufan and I had already moved out. But because of this issue, Yufan had to temporarily return home to help deal with the situation.”
“Wen Yihan is Wen Yufan’s uncle, right? The illegitimate child!” Thinking back to my brief encounter with that man, I began to shiver. It was obvious that he was a person who had been through a lot.
“Yes, it is fate. Who would’ve thought that the chairman would suddenly pop out an illegitimate child…” Gao Jialan’s voice was turning lighter and lighter. I could barely hear what she was saying.
Before I could ask, she continued.
“Afterwards, although the family members calmed down, my father-in-law suddenly became ill. He had a hard time accepting he had another brother. So, Yufan and my mother-in-law were going to take him to suburbs to recuperate. Who would’ve thought that they would die in a car accident along the way…”
Gao Jialan covered and face as she began to choke with emotions. She couldn’t continue anymore.
The death of Wen Yufan must have been a huge shock to Gao Jialan. By demanding for the truth, I had neglected the negative impact it may have on her. I was wrong. Now, I felt quite guilty…
“Sorry. If you don’t want to say it, don’t force yourself. I kind of understand now…. Let’s not talk about it! Let’s not talk about it!” I patted her on the back and wanted to change the atmosphere.
“Actually, the more I tell you, the more you’ll know. But the more you know, the more danger you’ll be in. Throughout history, the wealthy have always used the most ruthless tactics. My only wish is to quietly hide in your apartment for three months; until the waves are quiet.”
“Hide? Are you hiding from the family?”
“Do you really think the car accident was an accident? Right after Yufan and his parents died, Wen Yihan took this opportunity to become the CEO of the company. For someone who is part of the family, I have no choice but to hide!” Gao Jialan blurted.
I…. think I found out something I wasn’t supposed to.
“Just out of curiosity, what happens if you are discovered by the Wen family?”
Gao Jialan shook her head, “I’m not sure…. right after Yufan’s accident, I ran to escape. For the past month, I’ve been hiding everywhere. Just as I was almost out of money, God led me to you!”
I was kind of confused. Something wasn’t linking up…
“So the person who wants to capture you is the CEO, Wen Yihan?”
“He’s the most ruthless person I know. I honestly don’t know what will happen if he finds me…”
“Seriously? Wait. Let’s retract a few steps. Even if you’re Wen Yufan’s wife, the Wen family doesn’t acknowledge your position. So what’s the difference between you and an outsider? What’s the point of Wen Yihan seizing you anyway?”
Gao Jialan didn’t immediately answer my question. She was deep in thought. After a long pause, she sighed and pulled my hand and placed it upon her stomach. She gravely stated, “I am pregnant with Yufan’s child.”
My fingers began to twitch, “Huh? How many months….?”
“It has almost been three months. For my child’s sake, I must not be caught by Wen Yihan!” Gao Jialan strongly gripped my hand, “If he discovers me, he will definitely make me get an abortion!”
“Uh….”
“Three more months! After three months, my stomach will be stable. It will be a lot harder for him to deal with me then!”
