Chapter 275 - Pretentious Liars (2/2)

Wu Wang sneered to himself as he saw her head lowered in embarrassment. The more he looked at her face, the more Ming Qu's words came back to haunt him.

"She didn't abort the child back then, Wang." Ming Qu had said, startling Wu Wang in the bar.

"What do you mean?" Wu Wang managed to voice out his question. "My child is still alive?" His voice was trembling and Ming Qu felt so bad being the one to tell him the truth.

"No," Ming Qu shook his head and Wu Wang frowned in perplexion. "The child wasn't yours, to begin with." Wu Wang's world came tumbling down as he could even hear the sound of his heartbreaking down. Ming Qu took a deep breath and continued, "She had a fight with you over something and got drunk pretty badly. That's when she met me and my business partner. Who knew that my partner, Daniel was actually her ex."

With trembling hands, Wu Wang took a swig of his drink and asked, "Did she lie about having my child?"

"She didn't wanna lose you back then. So, I guess she did."

"Then why the hell did she told me that she aborted the child? Huh? Why not just live with the lie that it was indeed my child?" Wu Wang's voice boomed in the almost empty bar.

"I didn't know it before but now, I do. Her aunt, I mean Ye Jun's mother actually threatened her to go back to Daniel since he had a stable life to offer instead of you who was pretending to be dirt poor at that time." Ming Qu's words made Wu Wang dumbfounded. "Wang, what if she stayed? Would you really accept another man's blood as yours?"

"Forget it! Why is she back now?" Wu Wang evaded his question since he knew Ming Qu wouldn't have liked his answer. If it meant keeping her by his side, he would have gladly accepted that child. But the pretext was, she had to be there with him.

"I guess Mrs. Zhou Ning actually revaluated you after Xu Mey's marriage," Wu Wang remembered that gaze of Zhou Ning's when he stayed for lunch at Xu Mey's house. "Zhou Qi got divorced about two years ago but after meeting you and realizing that you were the same guy who was head over heels in love with her niece, she called Zhou Qi back."

After hearing and understanding all these schemes. Wu Wang still questioned one thing, "Did she know? About why her aunt asked her to come back?"

"I don't know!" Ming Qu shook his head and patting Wu Wang's shoulder he said, "I just wanted you to know that the grave you have built for your unborn child, it shouldn't be there. Don't hurt yourself by always running back to that cemetery since the child was never yours."

That day, what hurt him? Zhou Qi's lies? Or the fact that he cried for a child for over 8 years when it was not even his? Or perhaps, the fact that the girl he loved turned out to be like those pretentious ones who buzzed around him since childhood.

Now, his stay in the hospital has actually helped him in getting some clear picture of his thoughts. Seeing her embarrassment or her face wasn't that painful as it was two weeks ago.

"But let me ask you a question," his voice made Zhou Qi look up at him with glistening eyes as he questioned with a straight face, "When you came here, did you know why your aunt called you?"

Zhou Qi stayed quiet and pursed her lips, not even daring to look straight at him.

Wu Wang chuckled sadly as he mumbled, "Of course, you knew!"
