Destined Wife: The Apple Of My Eye

Yan Hua can’t believe what she hears .

How dare Yuan Li ask her to admit that she lost the money?

“Mrs . Lu, I didn’t catch what you said . Would you mind repeating it?”

Yuan Li stares at her .

“Mrs . Lang, I said that could you please tell the police that you lost the money . ”

Yan Hua looks at her as if she sees a fool, “And then? Shall I report a false case?”

“Don’t worry . I’ll talk to the police . As long as you agree, I’ll solve the rest problem . ”

“Mrs . Lu . . . ” Yan Hua takes a deep look at her . “Didn’t you take medicine before you go out today? Do you think that’s possible?”

Yuan Li’s eyes flash across the craziness . She says, “How could it be impossible? I’ve told you that I could settle with the police . You just have to go and tell them that the money is yours . ”

Yan Hua looks at her quietly . After a few seconds, she says, “Why?”

Yuan Li obviously has something wrong, Yan Hua thinks . If she continues to refuse, she doesn’t know what will happen . It’s better to hear what Yuan Li will say first .

“My ex-husband is coming back . ” Yuan Li looks panicked . “That money is for the child . I . . . I did want to give them ransom . But I didn’t think they would let my son go if I paid them ransom . I . . . ”

Yan Hua is stunned . Didn’t she say that the child had been lost? Why is kidnapping involved?

“Mrs . Lu, can you make it clear from beginning to end?”

Five years ago, Yuan Li met Lu Youde . This was her chance . At that time, Lu Youde’s wife died not long ago and he had no children . She knew that Lu Youde liked her very much . But she was worried that he would not accept her son .

“You should know that rich family always pays more attention to consanguinity . If he knew I had a son, I would not be Mrs . Lu . ” Yuan Li has a faraway look in her eyes . It seems that she sinks in her memory .

“I took my son to get a vaccination . When I took him out to get on the car, I just turned around and he disappeared . ” Yuan Li bursts into tears . “I couldn’t find him anywhere . When I got back in the evening, I got a phone call that someone kidnapped my son . He told me that he wouldn’t let my son go unless I gave them three million yuan . ”

“I said I didn’t have so much money even if I sold myself . But he said my husband had money . I told him that my husband had died early . But he told me that my husband had made a fortune by doing business with him abroad and my husband wanted to monopolize all the money alone . ”

The man knew he had a wife and son at home . So he went back to kidnap the kid to get the money back .

“I realized that he wasn’t dead . The next day I got a call from him . He said he couldn’t come back for the time being . I told him to transfer money to save his son . ”

Yuan Li thought he was rich and asked him to come back . But her ex-husband said that was all he had . He became poor after giving her money . He had to earn again .

“I went to the bank and got the money out . It was 600 thousand US dollars!” Yuan Li smiles, “It was the first time in my life to see so much money . ”

When Yan Hua hears that, she understands a little . She feels like a stone presses in her heart, “You didn’t give the money to the kidnappers . You didn’t save your only son . ”

“I . . . I just hesitated for a moment . But then . . . I was trying to save him!” Yuan Li says in a hurry, “He’s the baby that I gave birth to after ten months’ pregnancy . How could I . . . ”

“But you didn’t save him . ” Yan Hua looks at her coldly . “You thought if he died, you could marry into a rich family without him and become a rich wife from then on . ”

It turns out that she didn’t lose her child . She just allowed her one-year-old baby to be killed .

“You didn’t call the police afterwards . But you monopolized the money alone and married your present husband . ” Yan Hua stands up . “Mrs . Lu, today’s coffee goes Dutch . Goodbye . No! Never see you again . ”

Yuan Li rushes to catch her . Yan Hua turns away and goes out . But Yuan Li comes up behind her .

“You can’t go! I have told you everything . If you don’t help me, I won’t let you go . ” After that, she is about to scratch Yan Hua’s face . But her arm is grabbed by a man immediately .

“Lang . . . Mr . Lang?” Yuan Li stutters when she sees who the man is .

Lang Ruoxian lets Yan Hua stand behind him, “Mrs . Lu, what do you want to do?”

“I . . . It’s just a misunderstanding!” Yuan Li calms down and says immediately, “I just want to send Mrs . Lang out . ”

She dares not offend Lang Ruoxian . Lu Youde will be angry if he knows that .

Yan Hua finally has a look at Yuan Li and says, “I won’t help you, nor do I have the obligation to help you . Don’t come to me in the future, or I’ll call the police . ”

“Mrs . Lang . . . ” Yuan Li’s words are swallowed back under Lang Ruoxian’s eyes .

She can do nothing but watch them to leave . Then she falls into her chair .

Yan Hua sees Lang Ruoxian taking the car’s key from the driver . She looks at him, “Don’t you go to work?”

“There’s nothing to do in the afternoon . I can send you back . ”

The car slowly leaves the company, Yan Hua thinks about the whole thing .

“Five years ago, she wanted to remarry, but her one-year-old son blocked her way . At this time, her ex-husband, who she thought he had died, made a lot of money abroad and offended his business partners . ”

“The partner went home and kidnapped his son for money . Her ex-husband gave Yuan Li 3 million yuan as ransom for her son . But Yuan Li didn’t give the kidnappers the money . So we can imagine what happened to the child . ”

She sides her head, “She wants me to admit the money is mine . Then she will tell her ex-husband that the money was given to the kidnappers, but they didn’t keep their promise and killed the kid . ”

Yan Hua looks like she has known everything . Lang Ruoxian looks at her and praises her, “Your a.n.a.lysis is very complete . Probably this is the truth . ”

“Probably?”

“I will check what happened at that time to see if there are any traces . Because according to the information from the previous investigation, her sister-in-law said that the child was lost, but she said that the child was in the hands of the kidnappers . ”

“Do you think she’s lying?”

“No . ” Lang Ruoxian sees her frown . Then he smiles . “Don’t think about it . Wait till I find out . ”

When Yuan Li comes home, the nanny is greeting her with her three-year-old son .

“My little baby, are you good today? Did you have a good meal?” She gave birth to a son the second year after she married Lu Youde . Lu Youde is so happy to have a son when he is old . So he likes her so much . In recent years, he doesn’t have any affairs and never touches the girl who is sent to him .

Yuan Li holds her son in her arms with no expression on her face . But she hates Yan Hua in her heart very much and wants her to die . Her request is really an easy thing to do, but Yan Hua still refuses to help her . If the man really comes back and his sister tells him something, he will kill her according to his character .

“Madam? Madam?” The nanny calls her a few times .

Yuan Li regains her composure and asks her, “What’s wrong?”

“A man called you this afternoon and said that he was your old friend abroad . ” When the nanny finishes, she sees Yuan Li’s face changing .

“When? What did he say?”

“Wow . . . Mommy, I’m pain . . . ” The child in her arms is tied up so tightly by her that he can’t help crying .

Yuan Li quickly puts him on the ground, “I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it . ”

After she makes her son not cry again, Yuan Li asks the nanny carefully . But the nanny just says the same words .

Her old friend who is abroad comes back and wants to see her .

“Didn’t he leave any contact information?”

The nanny points to the notebook next to the phone, “Yes, he did . I wrote on it . ”

“I see . Take the baby to dinner . ” Yuan Li goes upstairs with the piece of paper that has the telephone number on it . She stares at the number for a long time . But she dares not dial it out .

But she dares not delay any more . It will be more troublesome that he calls again at night when Lu Youde is at home . Yuan Li grits her teeth to dial the number . A familiar voice comes after a few beeps on the phone .

“h.e.l.lo!”

“Li Yi, is that you?”

“It’s me . ” The man’s voice doesn’t change a little . But it sounds cold .

Yuan Li closes her eyes and says, “You know it all, right?”

“Where is my son?” Li Yi asks, “My sister said you lost my son . ”

“No, no, no! That’s not true!” Yuan Li quickly says, squeezing her throat as if she weeps sadly . “I gave the money to the kidnappers, but they deceived me . They said that they had lost our son on the roadside . I went to look for him, but there was no one nearby . I searched for him for several days . . . ”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Li Yi questions her, “I said clearly that you should call me after saving my son . Why didn’t you call me?”

Yuan Li cries, “I called you . But I couldn’t get through to you all the time . When I wanted to tell you that I was going to get married, I couldn’t reach you yet . What could I do? I’m also sad to lose my son . I have been blaming myself for all these years . ”

“My sister said you got married a couple of days after our son was lost . Do you have time to blame yourself?” Li Yi’s voice sounds obviously angry . After all, Yuan Li had lived with him for several years . She knows that he is angry .

“Li Yi, is it all my fault? If you didn’t go abroad, our son would not have been kidnapped . If you came back then, none of these things would have happened . ”

She sobs, “I know what your sister says about me . She always scolds me these years . She said that I deliberately lost my son for wealth, and that I was not fit to be a mother . ”

Yuan Li continues to ask him, “But I ask you, if you had come back when I called you back, would these things have happened? Your sister said that I wanted to be rich, didn’t you want to be rich when you stayed abroad? Now what about your wealth?”

There is a moment of silence on the phone, only heavy breathing .

“Well, I’ll investigate it . If what you said is true, I’ll agree to your husband’s cooperation project . ”

“What is the cooperation project?” Yuan Li is stunned, but there is a beeping voice on the phone .

He hangs up .

At dinner, Yuan Li pretends to be casual and asks Lu Youde about his company . Lu Youde doesn’t think much about it, and then he talks about several recent projects .

“Returned overseas Chinese?” Yuan Li hears the word .

“His name is Li Yi . I heard that he went abroad few years ago without a penny . But he did well and now is a model for overseas Chinese businessmen . ” Lu Youde says to himself, completely ignoring his wife’s face which changes suddenly .

In the Lang Family, Lang Ruoxian also gets Li Yi’s information . He takes it back to Yan Hua .

“Do you think it is possible that the baby is still alive?” Yan Hua just wants to help the innocent baby from beginning to end . Li Yi and Yuan Li are the same kind of people . Neither of them has the right to blame each other .
