Chapter 400: To Take Or Not To Take (2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Regardless of the location in this world, there was certainly someone who would resort to dirty tricks. However, these tricks often come up with unexpected results.
As such, it had driven countless people to take the risk and throw themselves in it.
At that moment, Han Yichen suddenly felt his throat turning a little dry. “After that?”
“After that, those people had failed in their mission. In the middle of chaos, Madam Zhao went through excessive trauma and went into premature labor.” Nie Yunfan cast a glance at Han Yichen before he continued. “The incident that happened after was exactly like what you mentioned just now. Someone had seized the opportunity to replace you with a stillborn. Everyone had thought that Madam Zhao’s child was never saved.”
Nie Yunfan heaved a sigh. He said with a sigh, “I heard that at that time, the moment Madam Zhao found that her baby was gone, she did not say a word, eat or drink for several days. She was like a walking dead.”
When Han Yichen heard this, he felt that his heart had been squeezed tightly.
He opened his mouth and it took him some time before he managed to squeeze out, “Since the child was gone, why didn’t they give birth to another one?”
Nie Yungfan glared at Han Yichen coolly and furrowed his eyebrows as he said, “They had wished to. Unfortunately, they couldn’t.”
“They couldn’t? Why is it so?”
“Madam Zhao had hurt her foundation during her first miscarriage. It took her several years before she finally conceived another child. However, in the end, an incident like that had happened. She nearly bled out and got the child killed as well. Although she had barely survived, the doctor said that judging from Madam Zhao’s health, the situation would only get worse than the last if she were to attempt to conceive a child.”
Han Yichen’s eyebrows twitched. His expression darkened. A hint of worry and… heartache appeared in his eyes.
“President Zhao is a loyal man. After he learned about this, he never demanded a child from Madam Zhao. His admirers, who had heard of the news, had taken the initiative to offer themselves to President Zhao one after another. They wanted to seize this opportunity to conceive a child for him and replace Madam Zhao’s position. However, all of them were driven away by President Zhao and the former master.”
When Han Yichen heard this, the image of a man sitting next to Duan Yarong, who looked strict, but took good care of her, appeared in his mind.
He pursed his lips. All sorts of indescribable feelings swelled up in his heart. A lady of a great family could not leave an offspring for her husband.
If not for her husband’s deep affection for her, and him continuing to stay by her side and adore her, at that time, after knowing that they might never have a child again in the future, she might have lost her husband shortly after losing their son.
When Han Yichen thought of this possibility, he could not help but belatedly felt heartache. Thankfully… Thankfully his own father was not a shallow person.
“I’ve not contacted Madam Zhao before. But, I heard that she is quite a nice woman. She is gentle, thoughtful, kind-hearted and elegant. I never thought she was your…”
“I have never thought of that either…”
Nie Yunfan fell silent for some time before he went up to Han Yichen, patted his shoulders and said, “Buddy, regarding this matter, I couldn’t say much to you. Think about it yourself. However, if what you said were true, President Zhao and Madam Zhao are not to be blamed for the incident back then. They were one of the victims as well. Now that you have the chance to reunite with them, this could be your fate. As your buddy, I would support you no matter what decision you make. However, I hope that you wouldn’t do something that you would regret in the future.”
Han Yichen did not say anything. He looked serious as he nodded his head.
When Nie Yunfan saw him in his current state, he did not speak any further either. He knew that even though Han Yichen had not said anything, in his heart, he had grown to care so much about his own family.
No child on earth would show no care to his own parents. The fact that Han Yichen had been abandoned in the orphanage had been a knot buried deep down in the bottom of his heart.
Nie Yunfan clearly remembered that when they first went to university, there was a jealous and foul-mouthed idiot.
That idiot brought up this issue in front of many people. He had discreetly mocked Han Yichen as an unwanted wild child. No matter how much he earned, it would be useless because he was still an unwanted child.
That was Nie Yunfan’s first and last time seeing Han Yichen get so angry. The roommate with an unrestrained mouth was then beaten up by Han Yichen and admitted to the hospital. In the end, his roommate had sought his family’s help to keep the matter under control.
At that time, Han Yichen had been emotionally out-of-control and it had left a huge impression on him. Today, Han Yichen had been told of the fact that he was not abandoned by his parents. The shock was certainly traveled deeply.
On the other hand, Zhao Youlin finally heaved a sigh of relief, like putting down the huge stone that had been weighing on her heart after she managed to persuade Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong to go home.
Zhao Youlin was very confident that Han Yichen would take them all in. Even though her time spent with Han Yichen was short, she knew that this person valued relationships.
He valued relationships and knew how to discern between right and wrong. It was impossible for him not to take in his biological parents, especially after he saw how much Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong cared for him.
When she mentioned Han Yichen’s background, Zhao Youlin saw the interaction between Duan Yarong and Han Yichen.
In her heart, she knew that Han Yichen had feelings for Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong. However, the incident had been presented to him all of a sudden and he could not accept it all at once.
It was only a matter of time for him to take them in.
After Zhao Youlin sent off her parents, it was almost twelve o’clock in the afternoon. Over the past two months, Zhao Youlin felt an incredible sense of irritation whenever it came to this hour.
The reason was none other than the presence of a couple, who always flaunted their affections, made their presence known to others and showed off to the young ladies regardless of whether they were single or married.
Ever since Zhao Youlin had allowed Ling Ran to personally deliver lunch to Li to save her from the hassle of having to go downstairs and collect by herself, the thick-skinned second young master of the Ling family had arrived at Zhao Enterprise on time daily.
At first, Zhao Youlin was a little dissatisfied. After all, she had threatened this guy not long ago that if he ever had a trace of the thought of taking advantage of Li, she certainly would not spare him.
The next day, this rascal came to Zhao Enterprise as if nothing had ever happened and he delivered lunch to Li as usual. He acted as if what she had said to him was something irrelevant to him. How could Zhao Youlin not be angry with him?
As time slowly passed, Zhao Youlin was getting numb to this. The second young master of the Ling family could go to the extent of knowing no shame at all when he courted a girl.. Once he was attached to someone, it would be hard for her to get rid of him.
