After Jiang Yeqing had explained everything, Bo Chengcheng was silent for a long time.
It was the sort of silence that seemed to go on forever.
Perhaps five minutes, ten minutes, or even longer.
Jiang Yeqing sat silently in the study smoking a cigarette. He looked at Bo Chengcheng for a long time before saying, “I’m telling the truth.”
He told her about his relations.h.i.+p with Wenxin and clarified all the matters that had caused her to misunderstand all these years.
Afraid that he would miss out on something, he even took a few drags on his cigarette as he thought about it. Finally, his expression became extremely firm as he said, “Making an appearance at such a time, Cheng Huaxing is obviously up to no good. Chengcheng, his goal is to destroy us. He likes you, and he can’t bear to see us getting on happily.”
“The fact,” Bo Chengcheng interrupted him, “is that if our relations.h.i.+p is strong enough, nothing can ruin us, Jiang Yeqing.”
“I know.” Jiang Yeqing put out his cigarette and walked towards her. “That’s why I’m afraid. I’m afraid that if you believe him, I’ll be kept in the dark like a fool, and you’ll be taken away by him. Chengcheng, if it weren’t for Cheng Huaxing, we would’ve been doing fine…”
“Even now, you have no idea where the problem lies.” Bo Chengcheng’s lips twitched slightly as if mocking him. “Jiang Yeqing, what is the relations.h.i.+p between Wenxin and you?”
“She’s just Wenxin, my adoptive father’s daughter. She’s also my adoptive father’s only child in this world. I have to keep her going, just like how my adoptive father used to treat me well. To me, she’s just a sister…”
“What about that child?” Bo Chengcheng’s expression turned icy. “The both of you have brought a life into this world and you have the audacity to tell me that she’s just your sister?”
“How is that possible?” Jiang Yeqing immediately retorted. “The child is definitely, certainly, a hundred percent, not mine. There has never been any relations.h.i.+p between us beyond that of siblings. It’s just that some time ago, Wenxin and the child were sick and the nanny couldn’t take care of them alone. I only stayed there for a short period of time…”
“Enough already.” Bo Chengcheng did not want to think too much about it, but Jiang Yeqing’s story was full of loopholes. “You said that you have nothing to do with her. Well then, where did that child come from? What obligations do you have to take care of them?”
Jiang Yeqing started to explain but Bo Chengcheng raised her voice and cut him short, “Let’s talk about them being sick then, without going into other matters. Are you, Jiang Yeqing, such a pauper that you can’t even afford to hire a nanny? If one nanny couldn’t manage alone, then you could have hired another one. Since they’re not your woman and your child, why did you abandon your wife and stay there for more than half a month?”
Jiang Yeqing panicked when he heard this and said, “That’s because I really did have business to take care of over there…”
“Enough.” Bo Chengcheng stood up and threw the medical report back at Jiang Yeqing. He had shown it to her more than an hour ago, but she had not even taken a look.
She didn’t want to look at it.
Jiang Yeqing suddenly got up and took her hand. His voice trembled slightly as he held her hand firmly and said, “I’m telling the truth. That child really has nothing to do with me. Wenxin is mentally unwell, and I really don’t know where the child came from. Besides, someone is after her now and they want to kill her. I can’t just ignore her…”
