Chapter 116 - She Was the Protective Cover) (2/2)
“If Chen Wanxin is the same with her father. Then, A Yuan…” Zheng Zihuan looked extremely embarrassed.
“No, she isn’t.” Zhao Mingjiang seemed to be very determined. Pointing to the pills in the trash can, he shook his head helplessly.
“I cannot trust anyone from the Chen family!” With this, Zheng Zihuan sighed again. “When will you tell him?”
Zheng Zihuan knew that he did not want him to intervene in, so he nodded somewhat reluctantly.
Just like Zhao Mingjiang, Zheng Zihuan felt that the thing happened in that year had inscribed in his heart. Although he tried in many ways to save him and asked help from many people, he could only watch his childhood friend be thrown into prison.
However, both of them were very clear that the person who was in charge of the city construction in that year was Chen Tianjiao. At that time, Chen Tianjiao had a daughter named Chen Siya. The first time Zhao Mingjiang saw Chen Wanxin, he did not pay attention to this little girl surnamed Chen who considered herself as Zhao Yuan’s girlfriend.
Until the time Zheng Zihuan came to take care of Zhao Mingjiang in person, he finally noticed that there was such a girl named Chen Siya when Zhao Mingjiang gestured him the things about Zhao Yuan. However, when Zheng Zihuan was working in the bank, he saw many times that Deng Yifei, Chen Tianjiao’s wife, came to the bank to remit money. He especially noticed the beneficiary’s name, which was: Chen Wanxin.
Zheng Zihuan lightly mentioned Chen Wanxin to some reliable higher-ranking officials. It was then that he learned that Chen Wanxin was precisely the daughter of Chen Tianjiao. Presumably, to protect his only daughter, Chen Tianjiao changed her name from Chen Siya to Chen Wanxin when she started high school.
Zheng Zihuan wanted to make the thing about Chen Wanxin clear to Zhao Yuan at this moment. But Zhao Mingjiang had his plan, which sounded a little amusing.
“With Chen Wanxin around, maybe… the Chen family won’t hurt A Yuan.” It was precisely the idea of Zhao Mingjiang when he was awake. Zheng Zihuan had no choice but to agree with him. Zhao Mingjiang came across the person who raped his wife in that year who provoked him for no reason and even insulted his wife, so Zhao Mingjiang killed him on the spot. After that, he was arrested for murder, and he was put in prison without any serious interrogation. When he was in prison, someone nearly killed him. The whole series of events looked like a huge net of conspiracies. Though they didn’t have any evidence that Chen Tianjiao was behind all those events, both of them was almost sure that Chen Tianjiao was closely related to those events.
According to the things Chen Wanxin had done in previous, she should have intense feelings for Zhao Yuan. Perhaps, God blessed his only son, so God gave his son a protective umbrella, Chen Wanxin.
How could Zhao Mingjiang not feel happy and relieved about that?
The time Lin Wenxi arrived at the hospital was late at night. Hong Xuan had told him the address of the ward of Zhao Yuan’s father, and Lin Wenxi kept it firmly in his mind.
Lin Wenxi went all the way here. He barely ate anything, so he felt flustered in his heart at this moment because he was too hungry. Holding the wall, Lin Wenxi searched the ward number by the light. Before he could make it to Ward No. 8, he spotted Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin sat side by side on the bench.
Chen Wanxin nestled up against Zhao Yuan like a bird. In her heart, she felt endless joy. Chen Wanxin thought that it seemed that Zhao Yuan’s father had already accepted her. Now she could skillfully sort the pills into those boxes. And as a girl, Chen Wanxin could be careful enough to notice where Zhao Yuan’s father felt uncomfortable, and how to help Zhao Yuan’s father massage his body with the most suitable strength.
Sometimes, she thought that she had never done these things to her parents, but she was willing to do everything for Zhao Yuan. It seemed that she had become an indispensable part of this broken family. Although the friend of Zhao Yuan’s father, Zheng Zihuan, always watched out for her for no reason, he also became more or less more friendly to her recently. Chen Wanxin felt that something inside her body was melting. In the endless joy, the world looked like extremely wonderful to her, and in her eyes, everything in the world turned into happy symbols.
As for Zhao Yuan, he didn’t reject her when she carefully attempted to get closer to him. Chen Wanxin found that she cherished the period of time a lot. Even if she knew that Zhao Yuan was always suspicious of her for making use of Lin Wenxi, she believed that it was only his doubt and it could be resolved slowly. She firmly believed that.
Lin Wenxi wanted to leave. He tried to run away as crazily fast as he could. But it was unknown that whether he was hungry or desperate, the fruits he carried in his hand dropped to the ground all in a sudden. Lin Wenxi remembered that the kiss Chen Wanxin gave to Zhao Yuan outside the boxing field. Whether it was that she had a thing for him, but he had nothing for her, or that the love between them was already so deep that they kissed naturally? Lin Wenxi was at a loss.
Zhao Yuan and Chen Wanxin looked toward him together. What they saw was a boy with a ghost-pale face who leaned against the wall, feebly. In a daze, he looked at them blankly.
Zhao Yuan got up, and so did Chen Wanxin. Zhao Yuan went forward, and so did Chen Wanxin. At the sight of Lin Wenxi, somehow, she would suddenly find herself in a dark forest, and each breath of air in the dark forest could be deadly to her. Chen Wanxin felt her whole body and heart were shaking. Disappointedly, she found out that although she had accompanied Zhao Yuan for such a long time, Chen Wanxin still felt inferior to the extreme when she met Lin Wenxi.
A glimmer of surprise flickered in Lin Wenxi’s eyes at the time when he spotted Zhao Yuan, but gradually, his surprise turned into helplessness.
Lin Wenxi thought for a second. Then he gently smiled and said, “I just come to see how Uncle Zhao is now.”
“How do you know this place?” Chen Wanxin asked first.
“What happened to Uncle Zhao?” Lin Wenxi only looked at Zhao Yuan.
“He is okay,” answered Zhao Yuan. After that, he felt unspeakably heavy. Zhao Yuan thought that he had much to say to Lin Wenxi, but the more he wanted to tell him, the more difficult for him to open his mouth, or it should be said that Zhao Yuan didn’t know where to begin.
“Oh, then I, I will leave.” Lin Wenxi shrugged breezily and went to the elevator. When the elevator door opened, the three of them cried out in surprise.
