Over here, A Wan saw Henry being hit.
Her instinct was to go and stop it.
Sheng Xinhao looked up, his eyes filled with grievance and hurt. “A Wan, I am your husband. He’s just a swindler who abducted you, and you’re still defending him?”
A Wan looked at Sheng Xinhao and also felt a strong sense of familiarity.
There was even a different feeling compared to others.
Husband?
This man was her husband?
A Wan was bewildered.
“A Wan, have you forgotten me? I’m A Hao.”
“Did Henry do something? A Wan, my biggest regret right now is having him come to treat you in the first place.”
Perhaps out of guilt, perhaps because he knew he was in the wrong, Henry, who was being beaten, didn’t fight back.
And when he saw A Wan looking his way, Henry lowered his head.
But when Sheng Xinhao claimed to be A Wan’s husband,
he looked up and asserted, “A Wan’s husband right now is me! We are legally married.”
Even if, even if he was a thief.
But now, A Wan’s husband was him.
Sheng Xinhao was even angrier upon hearing Henry’s words.
He couldn’t help but want to beat Henry to death even more!
“Alright, are you trying to kill him?” It was Sheng Zexi who stepped in to stop him first.
Their commotion had drawn the attention of everyone in the venue, and the officials had also arrived.
Hearing his son’s words, Sheng Xinhao could only hold back for now.
Just then, the person who had received Sheng Xinhao and his group yesterday, along with the office director, happened to arrive.
They had come to find Sheng Xinhao and the others, as well as A Wan.
Then they discovered that someone seemed to be causing trouble at the venue.
They thought, how dare someone cause trouble here?
They hurried over to take a look.
Then they saw Sheng Xinhao and A Wan.
The two groups had actually come together.
After a brief understanding, they were surprised to discover.
So the person Chief Sheng was looking for yesterday, Aviva, was actually the chairman of Yunshu Zhilian from Country A.
Aviva’s Chinese name was A Wan.
And Sheng Xinhao was glaring angrily at the man named Henry, clearly indicating a grudge.
Since they were acquaintances and people not to be trifled with, the matter naturally needed to be resolved properly.
—
Inside the room.
Henry, battered and bruised, sat beside A Wan but was pushed aside by Sheng Xinhao.
This was his wife; what right did Henry have to stay by A Wan’s side?
When Henry saw Sheng Xinhao do this, he initially wanted to say something, but seeing A Wan, he swallowed his words back down.
After all, he was already in the wrong.
Now, he had nothing to say.
Meanwhile, A Wan’s hand was tightly held by Grandma Sang, who looked at her tearfully.
Grandpa Sang had learned the course of events from Gu Jianing.
“So, you came to Yangcheng to find A Wan?”
Earlier, he had secretly asked Xingxing, who said that besides visiting the Canton Fair, they had actually come to Yangcheng to find someone.
At that time, he thought they were looking for a friend.
He never expected they were looking for A Wan.
“…So you all knew A Wan wasn’t dead for a long time, yet you didn’t tell me?” Grandpa Sang sounded a bit aggrieved.
“Grandpa, you have high blood pressure. Grandma didn’t let us tell you,” Gu Jianing explained.
Grandpa Sang: …Alright, he did indeed have high blood pressure.
Just now, when he saw A Wan and thought it was her ghost, his blood pressure had indeed been a bit unstable.
But now, he was actually fine.
Nothing else mattered anymore.
What was important was that his only daughter was still alive.
That was enough.
Over here, A Wan’s gaze swept across the group of people.
She felt that everyone looked very familiar.
Especially Grandma Sang and Grandpa Sang, as well as Sheng Xinhao and Sheng Zexi…
Of course, her gaze lingered more on Sheng Zexi.
Just now, she had almost confirmed it.
This young man was her child, named Sheng Zexi.
And Xingxing was Sheng Zexi’s child.
Xingxing and Sheng Zexi were practically carved from the same mold.
So that was why she felt a sense of familiarity when she first saw Xingxing.
It was because of Sheng Zexi.
This was her child.
So, the feeling she had that she should have a child…
She really did have a child.
“What exactly is going on?” Now, A Wan needed to understand what had happened.
“This man, he’s a thief. He stole you away.” Sheng Xinhao was furious with Henry.
He wished he could beat this man to death.
“Let me explain,” Sheng Zexi said.
Sheng Zexi looked at his mother and began to recount, “It was over a decade ago, back then…”
“…So, we all thought you were dead. For over ten years, you never reappeared.”
By now, A Wan—no, she should now be called A Wan—even though she didn’t have those memories, tears silently fell.
She never imagined it would be such a story.
So, she wasn’t abandoned by her family due to severe illness, as Henry had claimed.
Instead, Henry had schemed to take her away.
Back then, when she was seriously ill, her original husband had invited Henry to treat her.
As a result, even though Henry could have cured her, he said her illness was too severe to be treated.
Later, he faked her death and took her away.
He took her directly to Country A.
Then came their marriage…
So, Henry knew everything all along.
He knew she had a family, a husband, parents, a child, yet he still took her away.
For over a decade, he had secretly prevented her from returning to China.
Until this year, when he saw her determination and could no longer stop her.
But why? Why did Henry do this?
A Wan slowly stood up and walked over to Henry.
Henry, meanwhile, lowered his head, not daring to look at A Wan.
“Henry, why did you do this? All these years, you’ve been deceiving me!” A Wan said, tears streaming down her face.
A Wan admitted she had feelings for Henry.
The feelings built over more than a decade were not fake.
Henry’s kindness towards her for over ten years—even a heart made of stone would have melted.
But A Wan could not accept that the person sleeping beside her had deceived her like this, and so deeply.
Henry slowly looked up. Seeing the disappointment in A Wan’s eyes, he felt a piercing pain in his heart.
“A Wan, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.”
“I did it back then because I liked you too much.”
“You don’t understand, the moment I first saw you, it was love at first sight. I couldn’t control myself.”
“So, I became that despicable thief and stole you away. I’m sorry, I was wrong.”
A Wan found Henry’s explanation utterly absurd.
Because he liked her, he could do that?
Completely disregarding her thoughts and feelings?
Because of his selfish love?
“Henry, if possible, I would rather you had never liked me.”
