At that moment, the television drama had just finished playing and was stuck at the scene of Yan Ci walking out of the school hospital. The comments scratched at their hearts, but it was useless. At the end of the television drama, the words “see you the day after tomorrow” clearly whetted everyone’s appetite.
Xia Wanyuan reached out to turn off the television and snuggled into Jun Shiling’s arms. The clear pine fragrance surrounded her tightly. Xia Wanyuan rubbed her head. “Hug me.”
To be able to move others, she had to move herself first. Xia Wanyuan’s acting was completely empathic. Every time she acted, she would recall the heart-wrenching moments in her previous life.
Jun Shiling chuckled and hugged Xia Wanyuan tighter. “I’ll be here in the future.”
“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded and yawned. Jun Shiling’s arms were warm, making her sleepy. “Sleep.”
It gradually began to rain. In the bleak cold wind, Mother An got out of the taxi and searched for a long time according to the address An Lin had given her. Finally, she found the apartment An Lin lived in.
“Mom.” As soon as she saw Mother An, An Lin threw herself into her arms and cried.
Mother An was about to scold her, but she could not say it out loud. She could only sigh deeply. “Tell me what happened first.”
Without makeup, An Lin looked even thinner. She held Mother An’s hand and sat on the sofa, instantly softening Mother An’s heart.
After hearing An Lin’s story, Mother An was furious. “Since he already brought you to see Matriarch Wei, how can he go back on his word! Don’t be afraid. We’ll go to the Wei family tomorrow to ask Matriarch Wei for an explanation.”
“Mm.” An Lin touched her stomach and nodded.
However, to their surprise, the next morning, before the two of them could go to the Wei family, the person sent by Wei Zimu had already arrived at the entrance of the apartment.
When she opened the door and saw the secretary following Wei Zimu, An Lin frowned. “It’s good that you’re here. Tell Wei Zimu that I’m going to look for Grandma to uphold justice later.”
The assistant walked past her and looked at Mother An. “Answer the phone.”
“What?” Mother An was confused. At that moment, her phone rang. Mother An answered the call and Father An scolded her.
Mother An’s expression changed from initial anger to shock, then to ashen. In the end, she did not even have time to hang up the phone. She looked at An Lin in a daze and pounced on her assistant as if she had gone crazy. “You bastard.”
The bodyguard behind the assistant stood up at the right time and stood in front of him.
“Here’s a check for five million.” The assistant handed the check over. “Madam, I advise you to keep the check. Otherwise, it won’t be good to lose everything. Oh right, there are also these photos. I believe Miss An Lin needs them.”
With that, the assistant threw the check and an envelope on the cabinet beside him and left.
An Lin picked up the envelope in confusion and opened it. Her eyes widened in disbelief. Mother An walked over and saw An Lin sleeping between two unfamiliar men in the photo. She fainted.
“Mom!!” An Lin looked at Mother An, who was lying on the ground, and then at the photos in her hand. In the end, she chose to go to the kitchen and turn on the gas stove to burn all the photos before going to the living room to make an emergency call.
After being sent to the emergency room for a long time, Mother An was finally sent to the ward to rest. It was not until a few hours later that she slowly woke up.
“Mom, how are you?” An Lin looked like she had cried. Her eyes were red and swollen as she looked at Mother An haggardly.
“Beat him up. Beat that bastard up.” The moment Mother An saw An Lin, she thought of that dirty picture. An Lin was her pride. She would not allow such a stain on An Lin.
“Mom.” Hearing Mother An’s words, An Lin could not stop the tears in her eyes. “The doctor said that my uterus wall is too fragile. If I have this miscarriage, it might be difficult to have my own child in the future.”
Mother An closed her eyes, and a trace of tears seeped out from the corners of her wrinkled eyes.
An Lin was her pride in front of everyone. She did not allow others to point at her and gossip about An Lin.
After a while, Mother An seemed to have made a huge decision. “Then give birth to the child. I have a way.”
When An Rao received Mother An’s call, she was stunned. “Mom, do you know what you’re saying?? You want us to raise An Lin’s child?”
“You’re her sister. You’re not like An Lin. She still has a master’s degree and a doctorate. How can she have time to take care of the child?”
“Then do I not need to take care of my own children in the future?”
“You’re sisters. What’s the difference between you and her? Besides, An Lin is smart and has good genes. Isn’t it the same if you raise her child?” Between An Rao and An Lin, Mother An finally chose to protect An Lin.
“Do you sound like a mother?” An Rao had never been so disappointed. “Where did you put my marriage?”
“I’m informing you. As long as you’re still a member of the An family, you have to listen to your father and me. Persuade Bo Xiao. I’ll treat you to a meal in two days and settle this matter.” Mother An was already determined to make An Rao bear all of this for An Lin.
An Rao stared at the phone in shock.
“What’s wrong?” Looking at An Rao’s surprised and aggrieved expression, Xia Wanyuan walked over.
Seeing Xia Wanyuan, An Rao felt extremely wronged and repeated Mother An’s words to Xia Wanyuan.
“…” Xia Wanyuan patted An Rao’s head. “Tell me the next time she looks for you.”
“Mm.” An Rao looked a little sad. She lowered her head and looked aggrieved.
“Don’t be sad. Let’s go out for a walk tonight, okay?” Xia Wanyuan understood the importance of parents to a person. Even if An Rao had already lost hope in her parents, it was definitely very sad to be told that she was the one who had been abandoned.
“Thank you, Yuan Yuan. It’s so good to meet you.” An Rao looked up and smiled again. If not for Xia Wanyuan, she would not have met Bo Xiao, she would not have friends or lovers.
So what if my family was gone? At least the heavens did not mistreat me.
“An Rao, Wanyuan, are you two ready? We’re going to film.” In the distance, the director said.
“Hey, I’m here.” Seeing that An Rao’s mood had improved, Xia Wanyuan pulled her along to film.
“Aiyo!! If not for the time limit, I really want to film you two for another day. It’s amazing!” They filmed from morning until night and finally ended the filming, but the photographer looked reluctant.
“It’s so beautiful.” An Rao leaned over to take a look at the half-section. She was very pretty in the pictures. Of course, Xia Wanyuan was also especially beautiful. An Rao blinked at Xia Wanyuan. “Sister, let’s slaughter the rankings again.”
