Leng Baichuan was very satisfied. "Big brother, you still impress me. Alright, you can go!"
Leng Baichuan prepared to release Wen Yan.
Wen Yan, however, stared at Leng Xunze and suddenly said, "Leng Xunze, I admit it, I've never liked you! Being with you was against my will!"
Leng Xunze looked at her, his dark eyes terrifyingly deep.
The long night was silent, the wind blowing over the rooftop made a "whizzing" sound, making the surroundings seem even more desolate.
The girl's voice slowly echoed in the vast warehouse, "With the Leng family in that state, my cousin naturally wouldn't want to marry you. I was forced into marriage, and naturally, my heart was filled with resentment. But I couldn't show it, as my family's situation was dire back then. I was always thinking that once I got back on my feet and things improved, I could leave you."
Leng Xunze's hoarse voice carried a reprimand, "Wen Yan, that's enough. There's no need to say such things. I'll settle this with you when we get back!"
"No, everything I'm saying is true."
"Fine," he said, a sarcastic smile seeming to touch his lips. "Then why didn't you leave me later?"
"Of course, it's because I realized you weren't simple. When you arranged for my brother to get into the hospital, I knew. You were by no means as ordinary as you appeared. After careful observation, I discovered you were the nightclub boss, and also from the Leng family in the capital. I was shocked. You deceived me, but wasn't this also a good thing for me!"
Wen Yan continued, "You have a noble status, so I gained even more. I could also use you to teach those who didn't know their place a lesson. As for you, I never liked you, nor will I ever. Do you remember what happened to my parents? I detest rich people, especially those from wealthy families like yours!"
"Enough!" The man's voice, almost a roar, carried a barely perceptible tremor. "Don't feed me this nonsense!"
"It's come to this, I don't mind letting you see me for who I am!" Wen Yan spoke the most cruel words, tears uncontrollably spilling and being suppressed by her again and again. "When I learned of your identity, I felt even more disgusted. Poverty, I could accept, but you were like Wen Shihao! My heart filled with a desire for revenge. Since you deceived me, I would deceive you too. I didn't expect my acting to be so good, you really believed me."
She looked up at Leng Xunze and smiled. "I'm actually quite curious. Wasn't your father abandoned by your mother? I thought you would have lost all illusions about women, but I didn't expect you to fall in love with me so quickly. Are you that starved for affection?"
The girl's slightly mocking voice, clear and bright, struck the ground.
It struck Leng Xunze's heart.
Lightly.
Yet, something instantly shattered.
The silence was so profound it could kill.
Even Leng Baichuan was shocked. Was this Wen Yan crazy, daring to say such things, directly hitting Leng Xunze's sore spot!
"So what?" Leng Xunze's voice, hoarse and broken, was still calm. "You're saying all this, what do you want? For me not to save you?"
Wen Yan's heart skipped a beat.
Leng Xunze actually saw through it!
"Of course not. You want to save me. Your father is already dead, but I'm still alive. Are you going to let me die in front of you because of a dead man?" Wen Yan said, never feeling so bitter. "Or die at the hands of your enemy!"
The man, however, laughed.
"Then why do you think I wouldn't? Wouldn't it be extremely satisfying for my enemy to kill a woman who deceived me?" Leng Xunze raised an eyebrow. On his handsome, sculpted face, not a trace of pain could be seen, only hidden killing intent and ferocity.
He picked up the briefcase again.
He didn't adopt the posture of giving it to Leng Baichuan.
Leng Baichuan was furious and cursed inwardly, "Leng Xunze, your wife is clearly lying, just to make you not save her. Can't you see something this simple?"
Damn it!
He never thought he'd reach a point where he'd be trying to mend rather than break things apart!
"Do whatever you want with this woman," his voice, now calm, was almost cruelly indifferent. He turned to leave.
Leng Baichuan was infuriated.
All his efforts had been ruined by this damned woman!
"Fine, since you dare to deceive my brother like this, I'll destroy you in his stead!" Leng Baichuan declared, and then fiercely plunged the dagger into her heart!
A fatal blow!
Wen Yan closed her eyes, ready to welcome death.
From her right eye, a tear fell silently.
However.
The expected pain did not come. A briefcase suddenly smashed into Leng Baichuan, causing him to groan and grab the case.
It was the briefcase.
The man's indifferent voice came, "Take what you want and get out!"
Leng Baichuan, ecstatic at the sight of the briefcase, no longer cared about Wen Yan and quickly left with his men.
Wen Yan collapsed onto the ground.
She slowly raised her eyes. Not far away, the man stood tall and straight like a pine and cypress, hands in his pockets. Against the light, his expression was unclear, but the icy chill emanating from his bones was impossible to ignore.
Wen Yan's tears fell one by one as she looked at him.
The man said nothing, took long strides, and walked away step by step.
Wen Yan wanted to call out to him, but the words caught in her throat. Her vision darkened, and she fainted abruptly.
When she woke up again, all she saw was white.
Turning her head, she realized she was in a hospital.
Her neck was bandaged, but her body ached. She struggled to get up from the bed. The decor suggested a high-class hospital.
Did Leng Xunze bring her here?
A strange emotion welled up in Wen Yan's heart. Hearing the door open, she looked over with anticipation.
The person who entered was Li Qiuyun.
Li Qiuyun rushed forward excitedly and grabbed her hand.
"Yan Yan, you're finally awake! Ziyu is saved!"
Wen Yan was stunned. "Mom, what are you saying?"
Didn't Leng Baichuan leave? Could he still arrange a donor for her brother?
"The hospital found a suitable heart for your brother. Oh, fate has been kind to me!" Li Qiuyun hugged Wen Yan tightly.
Wen Yan was so overjoyed her mind went blank. When she came to, she hugged Li Qiuyun back, tears falling as she smiled. She suddenly remembered, "Did the hospital say who it was?"
"They didn't give us that information, but I think it must have been your son-in-law. Marrying Leng Xunze was truly a blessing!"
Li Qiuyun was extremely excited.
Before Wen Yan could ask how she got to the hospital, Li Qiuyun went to be with Wen Ziyu.
But soon, another person walked in.
It was Zuo An, Leng Xunze's special assistant.
He answered Wen Yan's question.
"I brought Madam to the hospital."
He also brought Wen Yan an agreement.
Seeing the four large characters on it, Wen Yan, though expecting it, couldn't help but feel heartbroken. Taking a deep breath, she smiled and nodded, picked up a black pen, and signed her name.
Wen Yan.
Seeing her cooperation, Zuo An couldn't help but add, "The boss seemed to be in a very bad mood."
"He'll get over it soon."
From now on, she would leave his life, and he would only get better.
No more weaknesses.
No more burdens.
But why was the quilt wet?
