Because she was addicted

Fu Huaishen has woken up.

But he is in poor mental health.

He lay on the bed, his tall frame reduced to skin and bones, his entire being slumped lifelessly in the blankets. Such a gentle and refined man, tormented to the point of being neither human nor ghost.

Security at private hospitals has been tightened by more than one level.

Wen Jia was stopped outside before she could go in, so she called Xiao Wu, who came down and took her up personally.

"President Fu."

Wen Jia had a lot to say to Fu Huaishen before she came.

For example, I'd try to comfort him with platitudes like "look forward" and "be positive." But when I actually saw him, those words just stuck in my throat.

Actually, she herself wasn't much better than Fu Huaishen.

Fu Huaishen waved his hand, indicating that she shouldn't force herself.

"Secretary Wen, I've heard everything from Xiao Wu about yesterday. I'm very grateful to you."

Wen Jia wanted to smile, but when she tried to force a smile, she realized she didn't even have the strength to smile.

"Secretary Wen, do you already know about my relationship with Ali?"

Fu Huaishen suddenly asked.

Wen Jia nodded, "I've heard some of it bit by bit."

"Xiao Nian is my daughter. I didn't know when Ali was pregnant with her. You can imagine how difficult it is for a woman to find out she is pregnant under such circumstances, and to give birth to her and raise her alone in prison."

Fu Huaishen was weak and listless.

"Due to the murder case years ago, Ali was expelled from Ocean University. While in prison, she gave birth and studied on her own, eventually earning a university degree. But after her release, no construction company was willing to hire her."

"During the day, Xiao Nian is sent to the daycare center, and Ali rides her electric bike around delivering food. At night, she ties Xiao Nian to her waist with a rope and squats in the restaurant kitchen washing dishes."

Fu Huaishen's voice choked up as he spoke.

"Wen Jia, Ali was only 20 years old at that time. I ruined the best years of her youth. I even hated her day and night in England, hated her for being heartless and abandoning me for some street urchin."

The ward was quiet.

Wen Jia felt very heavy-hearted.

She always felt that she was suffering, but compared to Shen Li, it didn't seem like she was suffering at all.

At least, she still has a home.

She and her sister Wen Lin supported each other through thick and thin.

"And then what happened?" she asked.

Fu Huaishen closed his eyes briefly. "She worked day and night and saved up some money. A female inmate she met in prison helped her rent a shop and open a small coffee shop on the commercial street. Business was alright, and the mother and daughter no longer had to live a life of hardship."

Wen Jia suddenly realized.

Before she met Shen Li, she had already experienced so much.

"I returned to China a year ago, and I ran into her on my very first day. She was delivering coffee upstairs when she bumped into me, spilling coffee all over the floor. She dodged quickly, thinking I hadn't recognized her. But how could I not recognize her?"

Fu Huaishen laughed self-deprecatingly.

"I hated her for six years in England, staring at her picture!"

"later……"

He suddenly stopped and wouldn't continue.

"Wen Jia, I'm telling you this to tell you that I don't regret what I did yesterday at all. Even if I had to do it all over again, I still wouldn't marry Tang Ning. I owe Ali and Xiao Nian too much in this life, and I can never repay it all."

"As for Tang Ning and Wen Jia, the child in her belly is not mine."

Fu Huaishen said with certainty.

Wen Jiaxin's heart sank to the bottom.

"That day, I only drank a glass of water and then lost consciousness. When I woke up, Tang Ning was right next to me. She said the child was mine. But I later found out that she had bribed a maid at Xiaolian Manor to put the drug in my water."

Fu Huaishen's words made Wen Jia's heart sink to the bottom.

The child is not Fu Huaishen's.

Whose is it?

When Tang Ning became pregnant, she immediately asked Lu Chenyan to accompany her to the hospital for her prenatal check-up, and she would also contact Lu Chenyan immediately for any other matters.

Lu Chenyan loved her so much that even after being rejected, he tried every means to make her come back.

The answer seems obvious.

Wen Jia thought that after last night, she would no longer feel pain.

But the truth is, the pain still comes in waves, even more severe than yesterday.

She felt a sudden darkness envelop her.

It took a long time for the black fog to gradually dissipate, and a little bit of white light appeared.

"Mr. Fu, I understand."

She smiled bitterly.

Things have escalated to this point, and in the end, all that's left is oneself.

I left Fu Huaishen's hospital room.

Wen Jia stood in the garden downstairs, the sunlight dazzling, making her feel a little dizzy.

The truth was so cruel that she thought God was playing a joke on her.

Turning her head, she encountered Mrs. Tang, who was pushing Tang Ning out for a walk.

The sudden encounter left both sides feeling rather awkward.

Wen Jia turned to leave, but Tang Ning greeted her first.

"Secretary Wen."

Madam Tang pushed Tang Ning around to stand in front of her.

"Secretary Wen, I'm so sorry."

Tang Ning was wearing a hospital gown, her face pale, but her spirits seemed high. Judging from her and Mrs. Tang's expressions, there shouldn't be any problems with the baby in her womb.

Wen Jia's breathing became erratic again when she thought about who the child's father was.

She stared at Tang Ning's stomach.

"Mr. Tang, what have you done to wrong me?"

Tang Ning received Wen Jia's gaze, put her hands in a protective gesture to shield her stomach, and even took a step back.

"Secretary Wen, this apology is on behalf of Ayan. He didn't mean to hurt you; he had no choice."

Wen Jia couldn't help but want to laugh.

Her eyes turned cold.

"Mr. Tang, are you provoking me?"

"Wen Jia, why would you think that?" Tang Ning stared at her. "I just think that what A Yan did was a bit childish. He's naturally playful and always acts without thinking. This is very unfair to you. After all, you're the most innocent one in this whole thing."

Tang Ning's words were soft and gentle, but Wen Jia felt nauseous listening to them.

She took two steps forward, stood in front of Tang Ning, and looked down at her, saying:

"Tang Ning, my background may be ordinary, but that doesn't mean I'm inherently inferior to you. I don't need your condescending pity."

As she spoke, she smiled.

"Lu Chenyan is really nothing special. Apart from his good looks, he's just average. Anyone who uses him knows. Tang Ning, not everyone treats your Chenyan like a treasure. I've already dumped him. Tang Ning, take him if you want."

Wen Jia turned around gracefully.

Behind them, Madam Tang's shrill voice rang out, "Hey, who is this person? I was trying to be kind and sympathize with her, and she's swearing at me!"

……

Wen Jia had just stepped out of the private hospital when her phone rang.

It's Pan Mei.

"Feed?"

Wen Jia was in a very low mood.

Pan Mei was wailing at the top of her lungs across the street, "Jiajia, Jiajia, you have to save your brother this time!"

Wen Jia's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong with Wen Zhao?"

Pan Mei kept crying on the other end of the phone, and could barely speak.

"Stop crying! What's wrong with Wen Zhao? Say something!" Wen Jia shouted into the phone.

Pan Mei was so frightened that she choked up.

"Your brother has been arrested. If you don't come to save him, he'll be dead."
