Chapter 677: Ji Yue and His Child (Part One)
Yuan Ting’s father had taken a fancy to Han Bing and thought that he was a promising talent. He thought very highly of Han Bing’s future. In addition, his daughter always talked about that person non-stop. He, who originally admired Han Bing, thought of him even highly.
In order to make Han Bing agree to be with Yuan Ting, Secretary Yuan disregarded his status and indirectly hinted to Han Bing. Han Bing understood what he meant, but he politely rejected him. Later on, Secretary Yuan hinted a few more times and angered Han Bing. Han Bing scolded him indirectly in public and hinting that Yuan Shun was bullying him.
Yuan Shun was completely angered by Han Bing, so he started to pressure him. Coincidentally, during that period of time, the county secretary of Lingcheng County was changed, and Han Bing happened to be in the campaigning position. As a result of Yuan Shun’s instigation, Han Bing’s time was especially bad.
He did not tell Ji Yue about this. Ji Yue was about to graduate from university at that time and was busy with work. The two of them rarely met.
Once, Han Bing was drunk and Yuan Ting took advantage of him.
Later on, Yuan Ting deliberately let Ji Yue know about this. Only then did the foolish girl know that Han Bing had actually cheated on her while he was drunk. She ran to Lingcheng County and quarreled with Han Bing. Han Bing apologized to her, but Ji Yue was heartbroken and refused to listen. After she ran back to Junyang City, she kept waiting for Han Bing to come and beg for reconciliation.
Han Bing had just sat on the position of the Provincial Party Secretary. He was busy every day and had no time to leave.
Until Ji Yue disappeared, Han Bing did not have the time to see her once…
Yuan Ting looked at Han Bing. Even though he had been stained by the traces of time, he still looked elegant and handsome, and her heart was a little dazed. To the her when she was young, Han Bing was a drug that she could not quit after tasting it. For this, she had done many crazy things.
It was precisely because of those things that Yuan Ting indirectly killed her father and caused the Yuan family to be ruined. She, who had nowhere to go, could only travel overseas to Hollywood. There, she hooked up with the CEO of an entertainment company and dabbled in the entertainment industry.
For the rest of her life, she spent time with different men and lived a luxurious life.
Yuan Ting’s thoughts were still immersed in those ridiculous memories when Han Bing’s voice suddenly entered Yuan Ting’s ears from the walkie-talkie. She heard Han Bing ask, “How’s life in prison?”
The man’s tone sounded polite, but Yuan Ting could hear the sarcasm.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly as she said, “Not bad. I thought that no one would help me collect my corpse in my later years, but it seems like I was overthinking.” She would definitely die in prison before the day of the sentence was over.
Han Bing snorted.
Yuan Ting did not mind his att.i.tude. Yuan Ting felt that it was a luxury for him to come and see her.
She asked Han Bing, “Why are you here to see me?”
Without beating around the bush, Han Bing went straight to the point. “What exactly happened in those seven months?”
Yuan Ting’s eyes darkened.
She asked Han Bing, “Did you come for this?”
“Hmph.”
Yuan Ting smiled sadly and sighed. “If I didn’t say that, would you have come to see me?”
Han Bing’s face darkened and he remained silent.
Yuan Ting changed her sitting posture.
Han Bing’s status was special. His visit time was very long, and there was no strict time rule. The two of them had enough time to waste. Yuan Ting sized up Han Bing’s face. After a while, she suddenly sighed and said, “It seems like Han Luofan really looks like you.”
Han Bing said, “You should be glad that he doesn’t look like you.”
Yuan Ting said, “Of course he wouldn’t be like me…”
Han Bing felt that Yuan Ting’s words were a little strange, but he did not pursue it.
Yuan Ting thought of something and smiled strangely.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Secretary Han.” Yuan Ting smiled ugly and her tone was dark. She asked Han Bing, “Do you love Han Luofan?”
“Of course.”
“What about years ago?”
Han Bing fell silent.
The ugly smile on Yuan Ting’s face grew bigger, and the corners of her mouth seemed to be about to reach her ears. Han Bing looked at her b.l.o.o.d.y smile and felt uneasy. What was she trying to say?
Han Bing’s eyes darted around.
Yuan Ting said, “It seems like you didn’t treat that child well back then either.”
Han Bing snorted. “What does it have to do with you?”
“Of course it doesn’t concern me.” Yuan Ting’s reaction was completely unlike a mother’s. Her att.i.tude was very cold, as if she was watching a show. Han Bing did not want to stay with her anymore. He repeated in a deep voice, “Tell me, what exactly happened in that apartment back then?”
He had to understand why Ji Yue was crazy.
Yuan Ting’s smile faded.
She hummed a tune. Han Bing heard her hoa.r.s.e singing—
A mud doll, a mud doll. It had eyebrows and eyes that wouldn’t blink…
A mud doll, a mud doll. It had a nose, a mouth, and a mouth that did not speak…
Yuan Ting stopped talking after singing for a while. She said to Han Bing, “Guess what happened to her!” With that, Yuan Ting hung up the phone and turned to leave.
Han Bing held the walkie-talkie and recalled the songs Yuan Ting sang.
Mud doll…
What did this mean?
Han Bing frowned and walked out of the meeting room. He drove home alone. The scenery by the roadside was very desolate. He suddenly stopped the car at the foot of a mountain. Han Bing looked at the newly sprouted branches by the roadside and frowned. He was puzzled.
He took out his phone and found this children’s song. Han Bing stared at the lyrics and his frown deepened.
— I’ll be her mother. I’ll be her father. I’ll always love her.
Han Bing stared at this sentence and thought of a possibility that made his chest ache.
Doll, Mom…
Han Bing groaned softly as the phone slipped and hit his thigh.
Han Bing touched his face with his right hand hard. He turned the car around and returned to the women’s prison. Seeing that Han Bing had returned, the prison guard was especially surprised. “Secretary Han, why are you back? Did you forget something?”
Han Bing lost his composure and roared, “I want to see Yuan Ting!”
A few minutes later, Yuan Ting appeared in the meeting room again.
She smiled at Han Bing until wrinkles appeared in the corners of her eyes.
Han Bing picked up the walkie-talkie and roared at her, “She was pregnant, right!”
Yuan Ting smiled cruelly.
Han Bing was so angry that his entire body was trembling. Yuan Ting’s reaction had already given him the answer. Han Bing scolded her, “Yuan Ting, are you still human! How can you treat her like this! Huh?” No wonder Ji Yue went crazy.
“Where’s the child!”
“Where’s that child! Where’s our child!”
Han Bing’s voice was really too loud. Yuan Ting did not hold the walkie-talkie and heard what he said clearly.
