After the verdict was handed down by the court, Lu Ruping and Wei Shanshan sobbed together, but Zhan Yan couldn't tell whether they were crying for their father or crying for themselves. Accompanying the imprisonment of their father, their luxurious and luxurious life also ended with a cut.
Almost everyone had left the audience seating, yet Zhan Yan still sat there blankly. Her expression was cold, and his gaze was unfocused as it landed on a corner.
"Zhan Yan, don't be sad, it's more important to take care of your body right now. You're still carrying a child." Du Xiaomo consoled.
Zhan Yan laughed bitterly as her focus was slowly restored and clear tears slowly fell from her eyes. Xiaomo, I have already prepared for the worst, I just did not expect that the situation would be even worse than what I imagined. "
Du Xiaomo held her hand and took this opportunity to pass some warmth to her, "Zhan Yan, there's still the second instance, we can still appeal."
"Zhan Yan shook her head, feeling almost despair. Even an appeal doesn't change anything. All I can do is try to accept it. " Her palm gently caressed her lower abdomen. For so long, the only thing she could rejoice about was this little life that was bestowed by the heavens. Without him, Zhan Yan wouldn't be able to last much longer.
"Let's go. Today is the date of the maternity exam." Zhan Yan left the court accompanied by Du Xiaomo.
Although Zhan Yan could not sleep well because of Wei Jingnian's matter, she took good care of herself and the baby in her womb. Although she was still a little malnourished, the child's development could still be considered stable and healthy.
"In less than two months, who knows if it's a boy or a girl?" Du Xiaomo had already seen the colour photo countless of times.
"We'll know in four months." Borrowing the opportunity from their positions, they could reveal the answer in advance.
Du Xiaomo held Zhan Yan's arm, and walked around the supermarket, "It's best if it's a girl, who's cute and considerate at the same time, why not call me Little Yan? What a nice name. After we, Little Yan, are born, I want to be her godmother. "
Zhan Yan smiled without saying a word, and took out a few boxes of pregnant women's milk powder and calcium tablets from the shelf. Du Xiaomo once again pulled her to the baby counter to choose clothes for the child.
"I still don't know if it's a boy or a girl. Isn't it too early to choose now?"
"Then buy some for me. Don't worry, I will pay for everything today. My godmother will pay for everything today." Du Xiaomo was picking through the shelves. After a short while, she had filled up the shopping cart. She then patted Zhan Yan's flat belly and said to the baby inside, "Xiao Yan, your godmother has bought you so many things, do you like it?"
Zhan Yan laughed and replied seriously, "Xiao Yan said that she really likes it, and wanted me to thank you on her behalf."
Governor Wei's imprisonment did not affect Zhan Yan's work in the hospital, but because of her pregnancy, Zhan Yan was no longer on the operation table, but had always been on duty in the clinic. Every day, she would face the same type of mother as her, and her heart would calm down as she slowly walked out from the shadow of her father's imprisonment.
However, she was unable to contact Ji Weiyang, as his phone was in a state where it could not be reached. She had been to the company a few times, but Yu Mei, the secretary, seemed to have received permission to keep her mouth shut. As for the military compound of the Ji Family, although she had tried her luck before, every time she faced her, it was always who mocked and ridiculed her eldest sister-in-law.
Since she had no other choice, she could only look for Gu Xiyao again. She only found out that Ji Weiyang was about to leave S City after a lot of inquiries, so she blocked him at the airport.
Looking at that pair of clear eyes again, Gu Xiyao smiled warmly, as if he was playing with his, "Second Miss Wei, what's the matter this time? won't you still want to test my reflexes? "
Zhan Yan stood in front of him, her expression still faint, neither sad nor happy. Governor Gu, do you know how to contact Viyan? I have something very important to tell him. "
Gu Xiyao laughed sinisterly, "You are his wife, if even you don't know, how would I know?"
Gu Xiyao's words carried a hint of ridicule. He thought that Zhan Yan would feel ashamed, but she was still very calm, even her eyelashes did not flinch. "You know, my current situation is a little special.
"Since we haven't contacted them yet, it's just that we don't want to contact them. There's no point in continuing to pester them." I'm sorry, I have no comment. " Gu Xiyao carried his luggage and was about to leave, he did not want to cause trouble with them, furthermore, it was a matter of relationships.
However, wherever he went, Zhan Yan would follow. If he wanted to enter the gate, Zhan Yan would immediately stand in front of him.
Gu Xiyao's patience was almost worn out, "What are you looking for Weiyang for? I can convey it for you. "
"I, I carry …" Zhan Yan stammered for a long time, but still did not manage to finish speaking a single word. Facing an unfamiliar man, it was impossible to say the truth.
The girl in front of him had his head lowered, looking pitiful. Gu Xiyao could not bear to see his, he thought that maybe she really had something to hide, so he took out his phone and told her about Ji Weiyang's contact information from Germany.
After Gu Xiyao left, Zhan Yan sat on the soft chair in the waiting room, full of joy and wanted to make a call. However, the moment the call connected, her heart fell into a deep abyss of despair once again.
On the other end of the line was a pleasant female voice, speaking fluent English, which was translated to read: Mr. Ji is taking a bath. Please call again later.
Zhan Yan looked in front of him in a daze as a ball of mist gradually condensed in her eyes. Unable to bear the weight of the mist pearl, the first tear came out from her eye sockets, followed by the second, the third and finally forming a line. His palm followed the trajectory of his palm and fell to the ground, producing a crisp shattering sound.
In this month, she searched the entire world for him, painstakingly searched for him, stupidly waited for him, but she never thought that waiting for such an ending actually came. Ji Weiyang, is he really that impatient?
Of course, Zhan Yan didn't know that at this very moment, on the other side of the ocean, Ji Weiyang was indeed bathing, but he was being nursed by two male nurses.
After leaving the country, Ji Weiyang would be busy working during the day, and at night, he would go to a bar to get drunk. He would live a life of intoxication until his brain would be numbed by alcohol, only then would he stop thinking about Zhan Yan. But his stomach had always been bad, and after days of drinking too much alcohol, he was soon admitted to the hospital and had an operation for a perforation of the stomach.
Therefore, his phone was always in the hands of the paramedics. Unless there was something important in the company, he would normally not answer the phone. And the reason he did not contact Zhan Yan was most likely because he did not want to worry her.
Ji Weiyang lied on the snow-white sickbed, his face was extremely fragile, his injuries had an ice-cold infusion tube stuck into his body.
"I really don't know what you are thinking for a woman to do this." Tang Feng sat on the side of the bed and started to complain again.
He flew over here after Ji Weiyang was hospitalized, because the operation had to be signed. Only then did Ji Weiyang notify him, if not, Ji Weiyang would not let anyone know about him being hospitalized.
"No one who has never loved is qualified to speak." Ji Weiyang replied in a low voice.
Tang Feng scoffed, "The word 'love', this young noble will always stay away from you."
Ji Weiyang laughed bitterly. Since ancient times, emotions have always been bitter compared to ruthlessness.
He turned his head to the side and looked out of the window. Night had fallen outside and darkness had completely enveloped the entire Western Hemisphere. At this moment, it should still be daytime inside the country. At this moment, Ji Weiyang realized that the person he couldn't let go the most was still Zhan Yan.
"The doctor said you can be discharged next month. What are your plans? My opinion is to go home and recuperate. "
After a brief moment of silence, Ji Weiyang agreed, "Alright, then let's return home."
After these days of drunkenness and dreams, Ji Weiyang had calmed down and realized that he couldn't afford to lose Zhan Yan in his life. He didn't even dare to think about the pain he would suffer from losing her, so how could he possibly endure it?
However, who would have thought that just because she was late by a month, she would lose Zhan Yan and the most precious thing in his life.
When Zhan Yan was four months pregnant, she finally saw the gender of the fetus in the photo using the color image. Du Xiaomo had hit the mark on it, it really was a little girl.
Zhan Yan lied on the nursing platform. Her clothes were lifted at the abdomen area, and the ice-cold apparatus was sliding on her flat lower abdomen area. Take a deep breath. "
Zhan Yan smiled gently. She was the one who usually preached to patients but who would have thought that today, it was her turn to be nervous.
"You can get up now. There's no problem, the child is developing very well. Next month's midwifery will be number 8, don't forget." the doctor reminded him.
She walked out of the color Doppler room while holding the printed photo. Du Xiaomo had already been waiting outside for a long time. How is our Little Yan? "
Zhan Yan passed Cai Chao to her, "Very healthy."
Du Xiaomo turned the photo over and over again, but it was still a ball of darkness, and her appearance could not be seen. Isn't it all because of me? I fed you until you were white and fat, and I discovered that I seem to have the potential to raise pigs. "
Zhan Yan smiled and rolled his eyes at her. She put on her white robe and headed to his office.
After work, Du Xiaomo then dragged Zhan Yan to the shopping mall. The child was only four months old, and Du Xiaomo had already prepared a baby carriage, filling up the entire room with children's clothes and toys.
Leaving the mall, the two of them ordered dinner at a nearby western restaurant.
"I'll treat you for Little Yan this time. Thank you, mother, for buying her so many presents." Zhan Yan laughed as she opened the menu and ordered according to Du Xiaomo's taste.
"You should eat more as well. It's been four months and your stomach still hasn't expanded. Be careful of our Little Yan's stuns."
Zhan Yan laughed but did not say a word, but the smell of the beef still made her feel nauseous. She covered her mouth with her hand and quickly ran to the washroom.
She threw up the food she had just eaten, but her stomach was still churning with nausea. It was extremely uncomfortable. Zhan Yan used the cold water to wash her face.
"Oh, it's really as if we meet again in this life. Wei Zhanyan, we meet again." Lu Anqi pushed the door open and entered. When she saw Zhan Yan, he was stunned for a moment, then revealed a sneer.
Just as Zhan Yan wanted to speak, another wave of disgust came over. Zhan Yan laid in front of the washstand and continuously vomited.
"Lu Anqi is an experienced person, seeing her like this, she quickly understood what was going on, and her face instantly turned white. You, you're not pregnant, are you? "
Zhan Yan wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue and swept a cold glance across Lu Anqi's body, "Miss Lu, we are not familiar enough with each other to discuss private matters yet, please move aside."
Zhan Yan passed her and opened the door to leave. Only Lu Anqi was still standing there, stomping her feet in anger.
When she returned to her seat, Du Xiaomo had almost finished eating, "How was it? "Still not feeling well?"
"Not bad." Zhan Yan replied warmly before getting the waiter to pay the bill.
At that time, she had a bad feeling about it. Zhan Yan did not even give her a card in front of the counter.
"What's going on? Is your machine broken? " Du Xiaomo interrupted.
"Impossible, miss. Our machines have always been in good condition." The cashier replied politely.
"Forget it. Cash." Zhan Yan took out a few red banknotes and handed them over.
Leaving the dining hall, Zhan Yan went to the bank alone. After the staff there investigated the situation, they informed Zhan Yan that all of her bank cards and credit cards had been frozen. But even if Zhan Yan didn't want to, he knew that it must be the doing of the people from Ji Family again.
After walking out of the bank, she held the frozen gold cards in her hand and stood on the street in a daze.
With his father in prison, Ji Weiyang quietly left the place. His bank card had been frozen, the remaining 700 + yuan in her bag was all she had, what was she going to do to raise the child that was about to be born? Heh, the heavens really made a big joke with her.
She stumbled along the pedestrian path, but her blurry eyes could no longer see the road ahead.
When he returned to the villa at the top of the mountain, the sky had already darkened. Before he even got close, he saw a taxi stopped in front of the villa, and Lu Ruping and Wei Shanshan had already been waiting for a long time. The taxi driver never left because he couldn't afford to.
After paying the fare for them, Zhan Yan only had six hundred left in her hands. She had been wondering if she owed this mother and daughter from her previous life.
Lu Ruping and Wei Shanshan entered the hall and casually sat on the sofa.
"Do you have business with me?" Zhan Yan asked indifferently.
Lu Ruping raised her chin, looking like she was about to denounce Wei Zhanyan, "Wei Zhanyan, your father's assets have all been confiscated and the house and cars have all been auctioned off, my private bank account has also been frozen. "Now that Shan Shan and I are homeless, you can buy us a house. It doesn't have to be too big, it's fine as long as it has three bedrooms and one living room. You can also give us two million for living expenses, but of course, this is only temporary.
Zhan Yan listened quietly, she could not understand why Lu Ruping could speak in such a righteous manner. My bank card has also been frozen. I'm sorry, I can't help you. " She handed him the last six hundred dollars. "This is all I have, and if you need it, take it."
Lu Ruping became furious and threw the money fiercely at Zhan Yan's face, "Wei Zhanyan, do you think we need food? You won't have any money? No matter what, you have slept with Ji Weiyang for three years, don't tell me he didn't give you money? "
"Mom, a lowly evil creature like him might really cause you to sleep for nothing." Wei Shanshan interjected sarcastically.
Zhan Yan stood stiffly in place, completely silent. Her cultivation made it impossible for her to argue with two women who were like mad dogs.
"Okay, even if Ji Weiyang didn't give you the money, I would have given you all the money that my mom left behind. I didn't get a single cent."
"I've donated all my grandmother's property to the Hope Project. You know that." Zhan Yan replied.
"What about the shares of Ji's? "It couldn't have been donated as well, right?" Lu Ruping continued to interrogate him.
"What shares?" Zhan Yan was at a loss.
Wei Shanshan snorted, "Wei Zhanyan, stop pretending. If it wasn't for grandmother giving you 15% of the shares in Ji's, why do you think Ji Weiyang would have married you? You don't really think he's in love with you, do you? "
Her words made Zhan Yan completely dumbstruck; she didn't even know what they were saying. What stock, and what does it have to do with her marriage!
"I don't understand. Tell me clearly." Zhan Yan felt her own voice tremble slightly.
Wei Shanshan laughed coldly. Since she said it like that, she did not mind making it clear with her words. Since things have progressed to this point, there's nothing much to hide. If you want to hear about it, I'll tell you. "
Wei Shanshan explained slowly. Zhan Yan was covered in cold sweat and in the end, she could not even stand steadily. She sat on the sofa.
It turned out that the betrayal of Gao Yuxuan back then, her and Ji Weiyang's drunken turmoil and their marriage, were all part of a conspiracy. And the source of all that conspiracy was the 15% Ji's shares that she did not know about.
The clock goes back so fast that we go back three years.
that year, Zhan Yan officially introduced Gao Yuxuan back to her parents, and the moment Wei Shanshan saw Gao Yuxuan, he fell in love with this man. However, no matter how brazen she was in expressing her love, Gao Yuxuan still pretended to be stupid. Just as she was at her wit's end, Ji Weiyang found her.
Ji Weiyang had single-handedly plotted a good thing between his and Gao Yuxuan, and also allowed Zhan Yan to catch them red-handed. He was truly a natural born perfect director, and Wei Shanshan was merely one of the minor roles that had been manipulated.
After being betrayed by her beloved boyfriend and sister, Zhan Yan got drunk at a bar, making it easy for him to find out about her whereabouts. Then, everything naturally happened.
However, even if she lost, Zhan Yan had to marry him. Thus, the second round of the good show continued, and he sent an anonymous photo of them going in and out of the hotel to Gossip Weekly. The next day, the scandal of the affair between the Ji's CEO and the Governor's daughter was spread like wildfire, and the two families had no choice but to end with marriage.
Before marriage, Ji Weiyang had once given Zhan Yan a prenuptial agreement, Zhan Yan never had any concept of money, so she signed it without even looking at the contents, thus, the matter of 15% of the shares was perfectly covered up.
As for Wei Shanshan's plan to force to marry him, it was naturally's idea. At that time, he had told Wei Shanshan, "What's the use of finding me? If you want to marry Gao Yuxuan, go and find Governor Wei. Tell him that you are pregnant with Gao Yuxuan's child, and she will naturally make the decision for you."
Thus, Wei Shanshan successfully married Gao Yuxuan.
"Do you understand now? Grandmother's will had said that once you were married, the shares would automatically be in your name. Ji Weiyang only has control, and every year's dividend will enter your pocket. That amount of money is not a small amount, so don't think about hiding it from us. " Wei Shanshan placed both of her hands on her waist, as though Zhan Yan was going to kill her if he didn't take out the money.
The man she deeply loved, whom she had stuck to marriage for three years, in the end, only discovered that it was only a massive scam. She felt that she was the biggest fool in the world, but had actually been deceived by Ji Weiyang for three whole years.
Seeing her not saying a word, Lu Ruping was annoyed, she walked forward and grabbed her hair: "Wei Zhanyan, don't think that you can't say anything, quickly hand over the money, if not we won't let you off."
Zhan Yan clenched her teeth and swallowed all of her blood and tears. She forcefully struggled free from Lu Ruping's restraints and looked at her with a cold smile, "I never received that money before. Furthermore, even if I did receive the money, it was all left to me by grandmother, it has nothing to do with you guys. Now, please leave my house immediately, or I'll call the police. "
"Wei Zhanyan, don't be so shameless." Wei Shanshan raised her hand to hit her, but Zhan Yan did not dodge, she only stared coldly at her.
"Wei Shanshan, you have to go to prison to intentionally injure him. Before you make a move, think carefully about the consequences."
Wei Shanshan angrily retracted her hand, she did not dare continue being presumptuous. The atmosphere was tense again.
"What is it? Still not leaving? Then I'll have to call the police. " With that said, Zhan Yan picked up her phone and truly dialed 110.
