Free Web NovelChapter 1076: Chapter 1075: She Refuses to Give In, Yet Can Only Turn to Qin Siyuan for Help
At this moment, Shen Wanqing truly felt hopeless, whether she admitted it or not, it didn’t matter.
Now she clearly realized that she had no status at all in the Wang Family, frankly speaking, she was just a pet Wang Kefu found outside on a whim, but even so, she had to carry on this path because she had no way back.
This night was particularly difficult for her. She didn’t want to face Gu Anxi, but she wanted even less to confront the married Qin Siyuan. If Qin Siyuan hadn’t gotten married, she might not have been so quick to secure Wang Kefu. She planned meticulously and got pregnant with Wang Kefu’s child, hoping to rise quickly with this pregnancy, but it turned out he was useless, and within a few days, he was framed by Gu Anxi.
Although Shen Wanqing was resentful that iron couldn’t become steel, she also understood that she and Wang Kefu shared the same fate — one prospers, the other prospers; one suffers, the other suffers. No matter what, she had to find a way to get him out.
The next morning, she went to Wang Corp to wait for Gu Anxi, thinking that as someone close to Wang Kefu and being pregnant, the employees might treat her like the boss’s wife. But when she identified herself, the receptionist’s expression was full of implications, and after a while, she replied, "If you want to see Little Gu, you have to first inform Secretary Tang."
Shen Wanqing couldn’t help saying, "I know Little Gu."
The receptionist was not so easily fooled, offering a delicate smile, "Then, please contact Little Gu yourself, and we’ll let you up immediately."
Shen Wanqing was furious but still picked up her phone to dial Gu Anxi’s number, expecting Gu Anxi might not even answer. Unexpectedly, Gu Anxi picked up, which left her momentarily speechless.
Gu Anxi’s voice was casual, "Shen Wanqing, go and plead with Qin Siyuan; finding me is useless."
Shen Wanqing suppressed her voice, "You stirred up this mess, aren’t you going to clean it up?"
Gu Anxi chuckled, "It originally had nothing to do with you, yet you insist on acting like a delicate lotus. Why, you can plot against me but I can’t refuse you? In this world, where are these conveniently good deals? Just because you’re the weaker party and pregnant I should accommodate you? Moreover, wasn’t your pregnancy caused by someone else."
Shen Wanqing was fuming.
Gu Anxi then said sincerely, "Actually, your life now is worse than before."
She paused lightly, speaking quietly, "Is a sincere relationship worthless in your eyes?"
Shen Wanqing was pierced by this statement, and after a long time, she hoarsely spoke, "Gu Anxi, do you think everyone is like you, able to have anything? What you think is easily obtainable is a luxury for others, do you know?"
Gu Anxi smiled softly, "I don’t know if it is a luxury, but to me, it’s an everyday item."
At this point, Secretary Tang beside her said, "Little Gu, you mean Professor Bo is your everyday item."
Gu Anxi covered the phone and huffed, "You could say that."
Afterward, she had no intention to continue involving Shen Wanqing, directly hanging up the phone. Shen Wanqing knew no matter what she did, Gu Anxi wouldn’t meet her. She wasn’t foolish; there surely were underlying interests involved. If she couldn’t pacify the situation and caused Wang Family losses, then Old Wang and the old lady wouldn’t let her off.
At this juncture, she thought of another person, Lu Heng.
She had overheard Wang Kefu’s calls, knowing that he was in touch with Lu Heng. The matter this time was likely about cooperation with Lu Heng, and Lu Heng was aligned with Jiang Chaoge. She thought about pleading with Jiang Chaoge.
But when she did see Jiang Chaoge, he thoroughly refused her as well, stating that the matter wasn’t rooted in Qin Siyuan, although he reported it to the police it was actually Gu Anxi’s intention to cut ties decisively. If Gu Anxi didn’t agree to release someone, who dared to release him? She heard that Lin Yuan was directly in charge of guarding him, and that place was impregnable, not even a mosquito could enter.
Leaving Jiang Chaoge’s place, Shen Wanqing felt somewhat bewildered...
She walked down the street; it was afternoon, opposite a university. Class seemed to have just ended, as many young boys and girls poured out, in small groups or couples full of youthful vigor.
Standing there, Shen Wanqing gently caressed her belly, suddenly realizing she was only 21, yet had gone through so much. She touched her face, surprised at how aged she appeared compared to these students.
However, she could only move forward.
She went to the hotel, but Qin Siyuan no longer lived there, asking around, she found out they had a villa in Jiang City. Arriving there around half-past six, seeing no car in the courtyard, it seemed Qin Siyuan hadn’t returned.
Shen Wanqing honked the horn, the housekeeper ran over to inquire, and later returned to open the gate.
Shen Wanqing drove a red sports car, stopping in the yard, opening the car door, slowly entering the hall. The villa wasn’t big, but elegantly and meticulously decorated, even having a hint of girlish charm. She heard Gu Mingzhu liked such a style and felt sour inside.
While she was inspecting, Gu Mingzhu slowly descended from the stairs, with a slight wariness upon seeing Shen Wanqing. As she observed, Shen Wanqing too assessed her; although she had known and met her before, this private meeting was a first. The term "pet" was coined by this Gu princess, and Shen Wanqing would never forget that humiliation.
But now, she had to beg this girl who was endowed with so much favor; she heard she wasn’t the legitimate daughter of the Gu family yet found such a good match, which made Shen Wanqing quite uncomfortable.
As she was feeling uncomfortable, Gu Mingzhu sat down on the sofa, asking, "Are you looking for Qin Siyuan?"
In the heat, she wore a pale yellow dress, her face white and delicate, with refined features, slim and graceful. Shen Wanqing couldn’t help but compare herself, realizing she was too thin and too haggard.
She opened her mouth with a hoarse voice, "He hasn’t returned yet?"
Gu Mingzhu looked at the time and then said, "He’ll be back soon, do you need to see him?"
"There’s something," Shen Wanqing hesitated, "Is it convenient for me to wait here?"
Gu Mingzhu didn’t like her much, if it was before the wedding she would have probably driven her away quickly, but after marriage, she seemed to have matured somewhat, preferring to meet at home rather than risk her meeting him outside as Shen Wanqing had no scruples.
So she nodded, agreeing implicitly, then got herself a cup of tea and started watching TV. Shen Wanqing expected her tastes might lean toward the artistic, but Gu Mingzhu switched on the animation channel, it was an episode of Tom and Jerry.
Shen Wanqing’s face contorted slightly, after a long pause she asked, "Do you watch this?"
