Chapter 199 The Affairs of the World Are Inconstant
When Wang Zhengjuan received Chen Yuanxi’s photos, she was sitting next to Zhou Nannan and watching her write the design plan.
There was Longjing tea on the table, next to which was Shanghai dessert. The crystal lampshade was engraved with a rabbit pattern. Two rows of orange small sofas were in the room, on which were pillows in the shape of Totoro and Pikachu. The inclined skylight on the roof was made up of transparent glass, from which the moonlight could fall like water. A cartoon carpet was placed in front of the door, and a row of stickers was at the back of the door, on which two light blue small towels and one red large towel, and a black large towel were hung. This was the highest level of a quiet and elegant home office.
The two had spent more than six years together here. If there was no surprise, they would buy a recreational vehicle to travel around when they saved enough money.
The town was very quiet, which was in the Huangpu District of gorgeous Shanghai and near the confluence of Suzhou River and Huangpu River and ten kilometers north of Yu Garden. It was a rare sequestered place.
“Juan, how about adopting a child?” Zhou Nannan suddenly pointed to her architectural drawings and said, “Look, how nice the baby room they designed is.”
Wang Zhengjuan pointed to the cat who was lolling at them on the sofa and said, “Let’s wait a little longer. When we have a recreational vehicle, we can travel with baby and Xiaohan.”
“How about asking for help from Wenxi and Zhao Yuan? I’ll have a baby with Wenxi, and you’ll have a baby with Zhao Yuan.” Zhou Nannan chuckled.
Wang Zhengjuan grabbed Zhou Nannan’s little ear and said, “Hey! Do you want to have a boyfriend?”
“I just want them to help us. We can have test-tube babies. Both of them are so excellent, then our babies can inherit their genes!” Zhou Nannan smiled mischievously.
“Bah! When the children grow up, they will only know their father!” Wang Zhengjuan said with a smile, “By the way, I will go back to my hometown recently. You can help me manage the coffee shop these days. I’ll be back soon.”
“Don’t quarrel with your parents!” said Zhou Nannan. In fact, what she wanted to say was that they would call me and scold me if you quarreled with them.
Wang Zhengjuan and Chen Yuanxi met at a remote braised lobster stall in the small town.
“My parents haven’t done anything wicked. What’s the matter with these bloody photos?” Wang Zhengjuan asked.
“You probably know more about the style of the Mo Family than me. It can be said that your parents are suffering the threat from the Mo Family now. You can either flee overseas with Nannan, or marry someone in City Hua and ask people there to help you, so that your parents can escape,” said Chen Yuanxi.
“According to your words, do I have other choices?” asked Wang Zhengjuan.
“No, you have no choice.” Chen Yuanxi said without expression.
“Lin Wenxi! When you eloped with Zhao Yuan, did you think about your family?” asked Wang Zhengjuan.
“Did you think that your father must be able to subdue the Chens, so you escaped at that time? If somebody told you that if you stayed and married someone, your father would survive. What would you choose?” Wang Zhengjuan asked sharply.
“I didn’t have such a choice, so it’s a pseudo-proposition. Zhengjuan, I can’t help you in this matter, but I can ensure your parents’ safety if you get married,” said Chen Yuanxi.
“What’s your deal with my parents?” Wang Zhengjuan asked in a hoarse voice.
“A deal that will keep your family safe. But as their daughter, you need to take this responsibility. Of course, that is also what they expect!”
“Lin Wenxi, do unto others as you would be done! Now you are really a good young master of the Chens, aren’t you?” Wang Zhengjuan tightly held the plate on the table, and her face turned livid.
“Wenxi, is there any other way? You must have, right?” Wang Zhengjuan asked, “As long as you help me, I can do anything you want me to do!”
“Don’t go to Wanxin anymore. She is very upset about the company recently. In addition, our family is low-key recently. No one in the Chens can protect your parents for you, except me. But, if you have any other connection with the Mo Family, I won’t care about your parents. We were classmates, and don’t ruin the relationship. I tried my best,” Chen Yuanxi said as he handed over a business card, “This is my phone number, and you can contact me at any time. Once you have a decision, please let me know.”
When Chen Yuanxi came out of the small restaurant, he almost fell.
“Both youth and flowers are beautiful, but one day both of them will disappear. Wang Zhengjuan, please accept your fate.”
When Zhao Yuan passed by again, he gave Chen Yuanxi two plans, and was about to leave in a hurry. Everything about listing was too busy. Many things, documents, and certificates needed to be done by him in person.
“Yuan, do me another favor.”
“What kind of things?”
“Promise me first.”
“I promise.”
“Hire some people and ask them to Shanghai to monitor Wang Zhengjuan and Zhou Nannan. If they want to go abroad, stop them. In addition, install your surveillance cameras in their residence. I’ll monitor them at any time.”
“Wenxi, what, what do you want to do?”
“Don’t ask more, just do it.”
It rained heavily on the Qingming Festival this year.
In front of Lin Ziwei’s tomb, there were still many people holding a memorial ceremony. One of them was tall and strong, dressed in a suit and a small white flower on his chest. He put a magnolia in front of the tomb, raised his head slightly, and said, “Wenxi and I are brothers. Uncle, if you are alive in the paradise, please bless Wenxi with what he wants and Wanxin with safety and healthy. They… after all, they are siblings.” Later, he raised half of a pendant and shook it in the rain.
Soon, a man in black approached him and said two names in a deep voice, “Hong Yan, Wenxi.”
Then the pendant was given to the man with a letter.
In front of Zhao Mingjiang’s tomb, Chen Wanxin, dressed in a pure white cotton cheongsam and a pair of white gloves, was standing there, holding an umbrella. She had put a bunch of babysbreath here. Soon, the person she was waiting for, gradually approached her in the misty rain.
“As your wife, I can come to worship my father. I didn’t do anything wrong,” said Chen Wanxin.
Zhao Yuan dusted the rain on his body, saying nothing.
More than seven years ago, he said in person here that he would marry Chen Wanxin.
