Was the man a scumbag who tricked her into marriage? A powerful man brought his child to her door de

Ahead, a black Rolls-Royce that had already driven some distance slowly slowed down.

Mu Nan turned her head to look out the window, and said with some concern, "President Jie, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and Miss Yan didn't bring an umbrella."

Xie Lanyuan had kept his eyes closed the whole time. He heard the rain outside the window, but his face remained expressionless. The cigarette between his fingers had burned out, leaving only a butt. He was completely unaware of the pain as the sparks burned his skin.

"If Miss Yan keeps getting soaked in the rain, she'll get sick."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Mu Nan dared to speak again.

Jie Lanyuan slowly opened his eyes, his dark jade pupils unfathomable. "Give me the umbrella."

Mu Nan thought he had softened and handed him a black umbrella.

Just as he was about to turn around and go back to pick up Yan Xuxu, he heard him say, "Stop the car."

Mu Nan really couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

Could it be that Mr. Jie intends to pick him up in person?

In the rain-soaked sea.

Yan Xuxu's feet were red from being rubbed against the rough ground, and she felt a sharp pain in her soles.

But this pain seemed less unbearable than the biting cold of raindrops hitting the skin.

We were less than halfway down the mountain.

She didn't care about anything and just kept rushing forward.

Just then, two beams of headlights shone through the rain and mist, and a familiar license plate came into view.

Yan Xuxu's pale face, washed by the rain, slowly revealed a smile.

Although her phone was out of battery, she told Lin Huan where she was when she called her.

Having known each other for so many years, Lin Huan could understand even if someone didn't finish their sentence.

Soon, the car stopped beside her.

Yan Xuxu, still soaking wet, got into the passenger seat.

Lin Huan handed her a dry towel, asking with concern, "How did you get yourself into such a mess?"

Yan Xuxu smiled frankly, "I wanted to experience the fun of going down the mountain, but who knew it would rain."

Lin Huan knew she wasn't telling the truth.

Just as she started climbing the mountain, she encountered Xie Lanyuan's car on the road.

Although she didn't know what had happened, she had a feeling that the two of them had a falling out.

Without asking any further questions, she turned up the air conditioning and headed down the mountain.

On the way, they encountered Xie Lanyuan's car, but Yan Xuxu was wiping her hair and didn't see it.

I didn't even see the man holding the big umbrella standing by the roadside; he just flashed past me.

After getting caught in the rain, Yan Xuxu went back to the research institute to work overtime. She caught a chill and was too tired, so she fell ill as soon as she got home.

Fortunately, the next day was the weekend, so I didn't have to go to work.

She had a fever for two whole days, and Shen Mingzhou didn't come back for two days either.

The reason given before was the same: I was on a business trip.

Xie Lanyuan didn't contact her either, but Xie Siyu took the initiative to call her.

Let her go to the manor to keep her company.

Yan Xuxu made up an excuse to refuse.

After chatting with Xie Siyu that day, she discovered that the child was very quiet and sensitive.

When the topic of mothers came up, Xie Siyu only said that she didn't have a mother, and didn't say anything else.

But one thing is certain: Ms. Lin is not Xie Siyu's mother.

So who is her mother?

Wealthy families place great importance on matching social status and family background.

Hearing Madam Xie's tone at the villa that day, she understood even more clearly that Xie Lanyuan's marriage was not something she could decide for herself.

Yan Xuxu recalled Shen Mohan's betrayal five years ago. In that rainy night at the restaurant, he and that woman blew out the candles together, and the scene of them embracing tightly was very happy and warm.

Could that woman be Xie Siyu's mother?

"Aunt Xuxu's voice sounds off, is she sick?" A soft, cute child's voice came through the distraction.

Yan Xuxu snapped out of her thoughts and realized that the call hadn't ended yet.

She had a high fever and lost her voice, but she's much better today. Yet, the child noticed it so carefully.

For a moment, Yan Xuxu felt a pang of unease. "Aunt Xuxu is fine, just a slight cold. Did Sisi take her medicine as prescribed today?"

Then I heard her laugh sweetly, "I drank it all."

"That's great."

Yan Xuxu gave a verbal thumbs up.

"But Daddy isn't good," Xie Siyu muttered. "Daddy caught a cold too, and he didn't take his medicine properly. He's not even as brave as Sisi."

Yan Xuxu subconsciously furrowed her brow.

Is Jie Lanyuan also sick?

What a coincidence!

"Aunt Xuxu, when you get better, can you come to see me?" The child's sincere and longing voice was filled with anticipation.

Yan Xuxu couldn't bear to refuse.

But she's been thinking a lot these past two days.

Xie Siyu grew up without a mother, and it is possible that she felt maternal love from her, which is why she developed a different kind of dependence on her.

Jie Lanyuan and this Miss Lin will get married sooner or later, and Jie Siyu will soon have a mother.

Even if they aren't biologically related, they'll still have to live together eventually.

Instead of rushing into a relationship, it's better to cultivate feelings now.

She thought for a moment and said, "If Sisi is bored, you can ask Aunt Lin to come and keep you company."

On the other end, Xie Siyu lowered her head in disappointment.

She doesn't like Aunt Lin.

Although Aunt Lin was very gentle, she couldn't feel her mother's presence in her.

Also, when Aunt Lin chatted with her, she couldn't stop talking about her father.

She knew that Aunt Lin was kind to her because she liked her father.

But Aunt Xuxu is different.

Aunt Xuxu would tell her stories, pat her head to comfort her, and feel sorry for her.

She only likes Aunt Xuxu.

Yan Xuxu didn't hear her speak for a long time and thought she had hung up, so she tentatively called out, "Sisi?"

"Aunt Xuxu, am I an annoying burden?" Xie Siyu's voice was choked with sobs. "That's why Mom doesn't want me."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xuxu's chest trembled violently, and she suddenly felt a sharp pain. "Who said that? Sisi is so cute, she's not annoying at all. As for Mom..."

She paused for a moment, then said, "There may be unavoidable difficulties that prevent me from being by Sisi's side."

No mother would have the heart to abandon her child.

If possible, she also wants her child to be born safely so she can be there to watch her grow up.

But fate was unwilling to give her the chance to become a mother.

She doesn't even know what her own child looks like!

Thinking of her child, Yan Xuxu's eyes welled up with tears.

The overwhelming sense of guilt that burst forth from her throat engulfed her like a tidal wave.

"My former nanny said that my mother abandoned me because I was sick, and that my father never got married because of me. It was all my fault..."

Xie Siyu's voice grew softer and softer, but her sobs became more and more obvious.

Yan Xuxu felt very sad upon hearing this. "Sisi, don't listen to their nonsense. Dad has a fiancée now, and Sisi will soon have a mother too."

Mother……

But she wanted Aunt Xuxu to be her mother.

"Sisi, who are you talking to on the phone?" A soft female voice suddenly came from the receiver.

Yan Xuxu recognized the voice; it was Miss Lin.

It seems that Xie Lanyuan is sick and this person came to take care of him.

Yan Xuxu knew it was time for her to leave.

I told Jie Siyu and then hung up the phone.

Although the fever has subsided, I still feel very weak after such a serious illness.

Yan Xuxu wanted to rest a little longer, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter how she lay there.

My mind was filled with the words Jie Siyu had said.

And the complicated relationship with Jie Lanyuan during this period.

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, so she simply got up and went to the research institute.

As long as new technologies are developed.

Cure Xie Siyu's illness.

She had completely severed ties with Xie Lanyuan.
