He tricked his amnesiac partner into becoming crippled.

Chapter 211 When the White Moonlight Overturns the Plot 18

All the way home, Wen Yan leaned on her grandfather's shoulder without saying a word. If it weren't for the hot tears streaming down his shoulder, her grandfather would have thought his granddaughter had fallen asleep.

The suburbs, shrouded in night, felt deserted, quiet, and desolate.

Old Man Wen sighed silently, his sorrowful face becoming even more resolute amidst the sigh.

With a son on one side and a granddaughter on the other, it's time to make a decision.

The car was parked outside the yard. Wen Yan helped Old Man Wen out of the car, his face still wet with tears.

She was like a flower bud ravaged by a storm, her pure white petals stained with tears, even her weeping was silent, only the tears flowed joyfully down her face.

Fu Chen felt sorry for him.

If she's so careful even when she cries, the grievances she suffers behind her back must be even greater.

Wen Yan saw someone waiting at the courtyard gate. After wiping away her tears, she looked closely and saw that it was Fu Chen.

His face, draped in ink, appeared stiff and sinister under the dim light, but softened in an instant.

Wen Yan rushed forward and threw herself into his arms, clutching her clothes and sobbing. Fu Chen felt as if his heart had been punched several times. He held her trembling shoulders and comforted her in a low voice, "It's okay, it's okay, Yan Yan, I'm here."

After calming Wen Yan down, Fu Chen looked at the frost-covered old man Wen not far away and asked, "Mr. Wen, are you still going to plead for them?"

Under Fu Chen's cold gaze, Old Man Wen murmured and fell silent. He had no right to forgive Xiao Yan's parents on her behalf.

My heart is bitter.

I was really foolish back then. I forcibly separated my son and his girlfriend, and forced them to marry by threatening suicide. This not only harmed him and Bai Wan, but also caused Xiao Yan to suffer all the consequences.

The desperate shouts of Wen Yu still brought tears to his eyes.

"Dad, you threatened to kill yourself back then, how come you've changed your mind about your granddaughter? You're showing her the mercy you showed me, what am I supposed to do?"

If the arranged marriage back then created a rift between him and Wen Yu, then sending Xiao Yan abroad four years ago to escape his in-laws completely severed their father-son relationship.

But Xiaoyan is innocent.

Old Man Wen tried to calm himself down, but he couldn't hide his exhaustion: "Do as you say. I only have one request: don't be too harsh on them... after all, they are Xiao Yan's biological parents."

Fu Chen neither nodded nor shook his head. Wen Yan, her face streaked with tears, looked at Old Man Wen and said, "Grandpa, I want to go home with Fu Chen tonight and come back after things are resolved."

Old Man Wen shuddered, met Wen Yan's tearful eyes, and finally agreed.

He forced a stiff smile, a bitter laugh that was more like a cry: "Fine, you've come all this way to kidnap me, and I can't stop you. In the end, you're the one who suffers."

As expected, Wen Yu brought Xiao Yichen and his mother to visit the next day.

Old Man Wen kept the door tightly shut, and Wen Yu started to cry. Old Man Wen felt guilty, so he opened the door and told them that Wen Yan had left.

"Left? This is her home, where can she go?" Wen Yu's expression changed: "Dad, Mr. Xiao has already taken a step back. He just wants to meet with Xiao Yan and be friends. Is that not allowed?"

"Yes, Grandpa Wen, I just wanted to see Sister Xiaoyan... I... I wanted to apologize to her in person, hoping she could forgive me, or at least not hate me..."

Xiao Yichen's legs gave way, and he knelt at the courtyard gate, his beard unkempt. His mother's eyes reddened as she tried to pull him up, but when she couldn't, she squatted down and hugged him, crying.

"What sins have I committed? One Ye Qianqian wasn't enough, and now Wen Yan has come along too. Look what she's done to my Xiao family!"

So the three of them burst into tears.

Wen Yu seized the opportunity to say, "Dad, just tell us where Xiao Yan is. Don't you feel sorry for your son who has been ruined by you? At least think about the reputation of President Xiao and the Xiao family. Are you just going to let Xiao Yan humiliate you like this?"

Xiao's mother felt sorry for her son, and seeing that Old Man Wen was showing signs of softening, she quickly swore: "Yes, Mr. Wen, we will definitely only meet once and do nothing else. Please tell us."

“I’ve been keeping watch over Wen Yan’s workplace for days, but I haven’t seen her. When I asked, I found out she went abroad. Now that she’s finally back in the country, can’t she have pity on Yi Chen and let the two kids see each other? It won’t hurt to see them just once.”

Xiao Yichen also assured him that they would only meet and not resort to violence or pressure.

"Are you sure you only want to meet once?"

The three nodded in unison: "Confirmed!"

"Xiao Yan is in the Fu family, in Fu Chen's hands." After saying this, Old Man Wen's mind was in turmoil. No matter how the others shouted, he closed the door and refused to say another word.

Logically, the three should be happy to have obtained Wen Yan's address.

But how can I be happy about this?

That's the Fu family!

The Fu family!

The most prestigious family in City A!

If the Xiao family is the leader among the wealthy families, then the Fu family is the gluttonous beast that devours them!

Mrs. Xiao didn't react immediately and stammered, "Did Mr. Wen say something wrong?"

Xiao Yichen remained silent, his eyes filled with a deathly pallor.

He knew Fu Chen; he had found out about him back when Wen Yan got into his car.

I never expected him to act so quickly, taking the person away as soon as he arrived.

Only Wen Yu's expression changed several times, and he had other thoughts.

I thought that getting close to the Xiao family would be an overwhelming surprise, but I never expected that I could also get close to the Fu family!

He almost burst out laughing!

What kind of relationship is this? They actually picked me up right after we had a fight last night! And I mean right overnight!

She's either his wife or his mistress.

Who cares? As long as he gets to pick up the pieces of the pie behind our backs.

Wen Yu laughed, wiped away his tears, revealing his neat teeth, and shrugged as if in distress:

"Mr. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao, it's not that I don't want to help you. As you can see, the person isn't with my father, but with the Fu family. I don't need to elaborate on the Fu family's power."

He touched the tip of his nose: "But, I left a huge mess at the company today to help CEO Xiao look for Xiao Yan. We didn't find her, but the thought was there, and we got her address... about our company's project..."

Xiao's mother nodded: "I won't treat you badly, don't worry."

Wen Yu was overjoyed to receive the imperial decree, but he remained composed and politely escorted the two back home.

Xiao's mother couldn't force her way into the Fu family's house, and throwing a tantrum like she did today was even less acceptable.

She was certain that if she shed even a single tear at the Fu family's doorstep, she would be kicked out, along with all her dignity.

The Fu family didn't even need to lift a finger.

She can't go in, but she can send a visiting card. Xiao's father still has some influence in the Fu family, so if she sends the card a few more times, she should be able to get a meeting.

Xiao Yichen spent his days waiting at the theater, holding the pot of jasmine. He really missed Sister Xiaoyan, so much so that he was desperate.

Ye Qianqian came looking for him, but he refused to see her.

This led to the following scenario.

The rain was pouring down, and the girl in the white dress stood in the rain. Rainwater mixed with tears blurred her vision, but her proud back remained steadfast.

She stood in front of the car, her gaze stubbornly piercing through the windshield and looking directly into Xiao Yichen's eyes.

Then Xiao Yichen gave in and stayed with her through the rain. In the end, they sat in the car together and waited for her.

Ye Qianqian trembled, her teeth chattering. She pulled the coat Xiao Yichen had draped over her tighter, her voice filled with sorrow: "Yichen, don't worry, I'll explain things to Miss Wen later... It was all just wishful thinking on my part, I debase myself... Waaah..."

The sobs did not deter her from speaking.

Xiao Yichen felt a pang of heartache upon seeing this. He turned to the side, hesitated for a long time, and finally pulled the person into his arms.

How could a woman who had been with him for four years not have feelings for him?

"We were both at fault back then, but it was mainly my fault. I shouldn't have let you be my lover. You will have a much better and more qualified boyfriend who loves you and understands you better than I do..."

Ye Qianqian covered his lips and shook her head desperately: "No, I love you. To me, you are the best man."

Xiao Yichen's expression was complicated. He couldn't give Ye Qianqian anything, so he could only give her more money when they parted.

"No, I love you for who you are. What use is money to me? If money could buy your love, I'd rather be poor!"

Xiao Yichen was even more moved.

Oh right, he almost forgot. Qianqian always regarded money as dirt, and he had to give her money many times before she would reluctantly accept it.
