Chapter 52 - Arguing
The dishes on the table were still steaming, but the cozy atmosphere was gone because of the unexpected guests.
Wen Yunfeng took a long time to accept Mo Yichen’s words. That feeling was like being struck by lightning, which took him a long time to recover.
“We blamed Gu Yan wrongly. Unexpectedly, she kept such a big secret in her heart.” Wen Yunfeng muttered.
His previous attitudes toward her, and the images that he deliberately made out with other women in front of her came to his mind.
He was very regretful after thinking more about it. Then he raised hands to hit himself on the head a few times.
Wen Yunfeng thought, “Gu Yan has never changed. It was my fault to blame her!”
Seeing her grandson acted like this, Grandma Wen felt not good either. Although she heard Mo Yichen’s words, she still didn’t think Gu Yan was good.
“Well, it’s all gone. As Mo Yichen said before, it will be fine as long as we don’t disturb her. Moreover, we treated her well when she was in our family. So, it doesn’t matter that she suffered a little now. Don’t have such heavy psychological burden.”
Grandma Wen seemed to be indifferent. She waved her hands to comfort both her son and grandson.
However, these words were very harsh in Wen Yunfeng’s mind. It seemed that he had woken up from a dream suddenly and only realized how deeply he hurt her. Just yesterday, he made trouble in her studio.
“Grandma, we are all wrong, aren’t we? All of the prosperity and wealth in Wen’s family are given by Gu Yan. At least, we should prove her innocence.”
Wen Yunfeng finally slumped softly on the sofa, and looked at his grandma in front of him, “When does she become like this? Or am I as indifferent as her?”
“How can you say it? After all, Gu Yan is a surrogate mother of Mo’s family. She is not chaste any more. Those surrogate mothers would like to never contact with those men. However, Mo Yichen protects Gu Yan to his utmost extent. I really can’t believe that nothing happened between them.”
Grandma Wen was a little emotional. She raised her voice and looked as if she was fighting for something.
Grandma Wen was reluctant to admit that the prosperity of Wen’s family depended on the efforts of a woman, especially when it was gained in such unpresentable way. “How awkward it was if everyone knew it! Our Wen’s family was so powerless and useless?” Grandma Wen thought.
“Okay, stop it! Only we and Mo Yichen knew this matter. As long as we stay far away from Gu Yan, no one will know the surrogacy. As for Gu Yan, we owe her. We can have dinner with her to ease up our relationship, and give her something to compensate for her loss. That’s all we can do…”
Wen Yunfeng’s father finally spoke, and he had thought how to fall back in his mind, “As long as my company does not get into trouble, I can accept everything.”
Wen Yunfeng shook his head inconceivably. He looked at the two people in front of him and said coldly, “Just like this? No! I don’t accept it.”
“I want Gu Yan back so that I can compensate her. It’s all my fault. I believe that as long as I make an apologize to her, she will be willing to come back!” Wen Yunfeng was emotional and went out immediately to find Gu Yan.
Grandma Wen stood up at one blow and thumped the floor with her walking stick. Her body trembled slightly with anger.
“Don’t go! Gu Yan is not chaste! It would be ridiculous to bring her back! She bore a child for others! It’s too outrageous!”
Out of traditional and stubborn thoughts, Grandma Wen spoke in a powerful and unquestionable tone.
However, Wen Yunfeng could not listen to anything at this moment.
“You couldn’t marry her! I strongly disagree with that!” Grandma Wen shouted firmly.
Wen Yunfeng shut the door and muffled the sound.
Wen Yunfeng’s father supported Grandma Wen to let her calm down.
In the studio, Gu Yan was packing up the pieces. Tears rolled in her eyes as she picked up torn books and design drawings.
“Why does he still bother me since I am so far away from him? Why he hates me so much?” Gu Yan thought.
Manla immediately drove up to the studio at the moment she got the message. She came to the room out of breath. Seeing the mess of the room, she turned around and found that Gu Yan was squatting on the ground to pack up the pieces carefully. And she worried about Gu Yan deeply.
“Wen Yunfeng! You son of a bitch! I will not let you go!” Manla said, and then she went to Gu Yan and gently hugged her.
She whispered softly, “Well, it’s all over. I am here. No one will bully you.”
The softness in Gu Yan’s heart was touched. She cried out loudly, and vented all her grievance and frustration.
Manla gently touched Gu Yan’s back, as if that action would soothe her unhappy mood. As time passed, they hugged for a long time.
“Let’s go shopping and buy something to decorate the studio well.” Manla stood up.
Gu Yan wiped her tears and cheered up.
“Don’t cry! The weaker I am, the prouder Wen Yunfeng is. I do not owe him. Why I act like this?”
Then she nodded at Manla, took Manla’s arm, and then walked out of the studio.
Manla started the car and drove up to the mall. But when she was about to turn the corner, a luxury car rushed out suddenly.
An emergency brake prevented the accident. Gu Yan was scared and recovered after a while.
“Who’s that? How could he drive like that?” Manla was very angry, and was about to get off the car to teach that driver how to obey with traffic rules!
As soon as she got off the car, she saw a familiar face.
That was Wen Yunfeng!
Oh! That was the man she was looking for. He dared to come back!
Wen Yunfeng obviously recognized Manla, the best friend of Gu Yan. He saw that the person he was looking for was sitting in the co-driver’s seat.
In spite of Manla’s ruthless eyes, he quickly rushed to the side of the car, and wanted to open the door and say a few words to Gu Yan.
Seeing Wen Yunfeng twice in a day, Gu Yan was not nice to him, especially when the mess in the studio made her still feel a little scared.
“Gu Yan, could you get off the car? I want to say something to you.” Wen Yunfeng patted the door anxiously.
“Hey, What for? You are divorced. Why are you pestering her?” Manla really couldn’t stand him. She thought that Wen Yunfeng wanted to make trouble again, so she rushed up and pull him away to keep distance with Gu Yan.
“Divorce…Gu Yan, I am sorry. I shouldn’t divorce you.” Wen Yunfeng muttered in front of them, looking like a child who did something wrong.
