Chapter 112: I can be the bad guy
Ding! Wen Yihan’s words reminded me of something.
My cell phone began to ring. It was bad timing.
The ringtone caused Wen Yihan to resume back to normal as he began to slowly back away from me. Just as I was hesitating on whether or not I should pick up the call, Wen Yihan said, “Pick it up.”
The call display revealed: My super hot boyfriend.
Wow. Suyang changed his name on my phone again.
“I found Gao Jialan. Are you alright?” Suyang’s voice was filled with concern.
“I’m fine. Go home first.” I sat up from the couch as I turned my face a bit on the side and lowered my voice.
“What’s wrong? Are you in a position where it’s not good to talk?” Suyang attentively asked.
“Wen Yihan is right beside me, but it’s not that I can’t talk to you. I have some questions I want to ask him though. So, listen to me and go home first.”
“You’re next to him?! That’s too dangerous! No! Where are you? I’ll come find you now!” Suyang shouted.
“I’m really fine. Don’t forget the purpose of our mission. Go home and I’ll be back shortly.”
Before Suyang could respond, I hung up.
Then, I continued the conversation from where we left off. “What do you mean earlier when you said you were killing a life but saving a life?”
“Gao Jialan has a heart disease.”
Heart disease?
“She has congenital heart disease. She was born with it. That is why she was left and raised in the orphanage.”
“What does her heart disease have to do with you?”
“For a heart disease patient to give birth, 9 out of 10 times, they will die. Not to mention that she is already weak to begin with. The doctor has already determined she wouldn’t be able to carry on the burden. If she forces herself, most likely…”
What? Gao Jialan never told me this….perhaps, she knew if she did, we wouldn’t help her…
“So you’re saying, you’re helping Gao Jialan decide? She lives and the child dies? But based on her personality, even if she dies in the delivery room, she would hang on until she gives birth first, no?”
A mother would definitely give everything to her child. I thought back to what Wen Yihan said about his mother dying for him. So he had his reason to do this…yet I called him cruel…
“I admit a part of me also doesn’t want him to grow up and threaten my position. But more so, I want to save Gao Jialan. I’m telling the truth.”
I could see Wen Yihan’s eyes softening when he mentioned Gao Jialan. You tell me there was nothing going on? I say bullshit!
Now, I finally understood why Wen Yufan led me here instead of taking me to Gao Jialan. And all his strange expressions from before...it looks like Gao Jialan is the only one who actually wants the child to be born.
So what should I do now? Aaaaaiii…. Once again, I acted accordingly based on my own judgment. Was I wrong?
I tried to see it from a different perspective as I stubbornly protected my standpoint. “But you should respect Gao Jialan’s decision. If you force her to get rid of the child, she will hate you forever.”
“So what if she hates me forever? The things I’ve done in the past were enough for her to hate me forever. She hasn’t told you?” Wen Yihan’s expression turned fierce again. He was giving me goosebumps.
“So are you admitting to everything she said?”
“Again, I will not deny your opinions.”
Who is this guy? Is he the beast who would kill his own relatives for status and money? Or a lovesick fool who would rather be misunderstood to save Gao Jialan?
“I have another question. Why are you telling me all this? Aren’t you scared it will spread to others?”
“If I am telling you, it means I already have a method to deal with the aftermath. I’m only telling you the truth because you’re Gao Jialan’s last hope. If you’re willing to be on my side, she will naturally be more obedient and it will save me a lot more work.”
“But what if I’m not on your side?”
“You’re not on my side?” Wen Yihan seemed very confident.
