Chapter 308 - Yang Lina

Wu Lina went to the doctor for her regular checkup. The babies were due in the next two weeks and she had started becoming restless. The doctor did an ultrasound and said, "They are doing very fine."

"Doctor, I want them to kick and cry in their father's l.a.p," she said showing her impatience.

"Wu Lina, let them be in you until they want to be. Who know they will decide to come out sooner? But once they are born, they won't receive their mom's protection," replied the doctor with affection.

Wu Lina smiled and left the hospital. She headed straight back to the house. By the time it was afternoon, the mayor came with three suitcases. Wu Lina showed him to his room. She was happy that there would be someone who would give her company because was she was alone most of the time and was usually so bored. The mayor would give her good company. But she didn't realize that the mayor was actually going to run office from home on the pretext of suffering from high blood pressure.

So basically, the entire week she was bored.

Vladimir was also very busy the entire week, so he didn't visit them. However, her mother visited her as was scheduled.

Wenqian had brought various types of dishes with her for Wu Lina to eat. When Wenqian came, the mayor also came to greet her and have a talk with her. He left after chatting for a short while and then went back to the study to resume his work.

Wu Lina looked at her mother and asked, "Mother, when will you be leaving?"

"Wu Lina, I will be leaving by the weekend. I am so sorry that as a mother, I can't be on your side. I talked to Wu Yi-zheng about it, but he is an arrogant person… he just wants to leave this town as soon as possible," said her mother feeling very sad.

Wu Lina lowered her head and asked her, "Mother, wasn't there even a single moment when he loved me?"

Wenqian didn't know what to answer. She went and sat beside Wu Lina and stroked her hair. "Wu Lina, I cannot say that. He might have liked you but he loves his son more than anything else. Perhaps that is why he was so biased… Wu Lina, it is best to move on. If someone doesn't like you, there is no point in holding the memories and not letting them go. You will get hurt. I haven't been a good mother to you, and I am aware of it. But my circ.u.mstances had been unique. Since I have never worked in my life and I am dependent on your father, I became a coward. When he asked you to leave the house, I stood up for you only to be bashed by him. I didn't have the courage to go after you because I had another ten year old child to look after also. Please don't judge me and forgive me if possible." At this point Wenqian started crying softly.

Wu Lina fidgeted her fingers in her l.a.p and asked, "Mother, will you come when I will deliver the babies?"

Wenqian bit her lower lips and looked at her daughter. She had given her so many heartaches. She didn't want to answer that question, as she knew that her husband wouldn't allow her. But she was satisfied that Wu Lina had a fantastic life ahead.

Wu Lina laughed softly and shook her head, "What a fool I am to expect that? It's okay mother, I forgive you."

"When I will go to your father's hometown, I will send you our address and my phone number. If possible, do visit me…" said Wenqian.

"Mother, he is not my father. Please never repeat that mistake of calling him my father. I have reconciled with my biological father, Vladimir Yankov and I am happy with that. Had Wu Yi-Zheng showed even a bit of liking towards me, I wouldn't have minded it. But I don't think I can stand anymore of his hatred. I want to put an end to this fake relationship.

Wu Lina again looked down.

Wenqian took her purse and dug out a small box from it. She opened the box revealing the diamond ring that she was giving to Wu Lina when she was thrown out of the house, so that she could sell it and get some money.

"Wu Lina, this is for you." She took Wu Lina fingers in her hand and made her wear that ring on her index finger. "This ring will keep you close to me forever."

Wu Lina couldn't stop herself anymore. She started sobbing. The mayor came out from his study hearing her cry and wanted to ask what happened but when he saw the mother-daughter moment, he stopped himself. He did not want to interrupt. He went back to his study shaking his head. He had taken a good decision of taking leave from office. Wu Lina needed all the support she could get.

Wu Lina parted tearfully from Wenqian. A new phase of her life was about to begin and she was letting go of the past…

That evening Yang Xinyu arrived earlier than usual. The mayor had called him to take care of Wu Lina.

Yang Xinyu found Wu Lina in the bedroom. Her face was puffed because she had cried a lot. She looked at him and said, "She had left me… If she had asked me to support her even once, I would have done that. She chose them over me. I am sure she knew that I could support her, she had made her choice long time back and I kept thinking like a fool that she would come to me one day…"

Yang Xinyu held her head to his c.h.e.s.t and said, "Wu Lina, don't cry. It's not good for our babies."

Wu Lina nodded. "Yes, I shouldn't…"

Yang Xinyu dug his pant pockets and presented her a piece of paper. Her name was changed to Yang Lina.
