Chapter 141: Chapter 135: Impossible to Resist Her Cuteness

Li Xiaoxiao was stunned after hearing her words and couldn’t help saying, "Anning, did you get it wrong? I don’t think Mr. He is that kind of person."

"I also hope that I am wrong, but how else can you explain all this?"

Fang Anning told her about the screams of the woman from the backyard and the remote control car she saw in Old Mr. He’s room.

Li Xiaoxiao said, "But, that doesn’t prove anything. Maybe that child belongs to a servant. That scream could have just been from a servant watching TV."

"Xiaoxiao, both Bai Yunyang and Qi Yaya have told me that He Tingchen once had a childhood sweetheart. Bai Yunyang even said that they were in love with each other, but He Tingchen suddenly abandoned her. Do you know why Cheng Wanbai has achieved what she has today? Apart from her own efforts, He Tingchen’s support played a part. She was originally just a servant of the He family. Perhaps she took care of someone, which is why He Tingchen was willing to support her and she was able to get to where she is today. She came over last time to specifically remind me of this, I think she must have been instructed by someone, even though I don’t know who that could be, or if she had her own motives. But she has given me a hint. You have no idea how strict the He family is. Do you think it’s possible for a servant to take a child to the backyard of the He family, and into the old master’s room? I’ve thought the same as you before, but that’s just self-deception."

"Then what do you think is going on with that woman?" asked Li Xiaoxiao.

Fang Anning said, "I think, He Tingchen and that woman might have been reckless in their youth and accidentally had a child. But how could a family like the He family wish to marry such a woman to be the wife of the He family. At that time, Old Mr. He must have strongly opposed it, but the woman still gave birth to the child, and the child was taken away by the He family, leaving the woman to go insane. In order to prevent family scandals from spreading, the He family confined her in the backyard of the old house so that no one would know about these things.

However, who would have known that the child would fall ill later on? Although I cannot guess the illness, he might need He Tingchen’s flesh and blood to save him. That’s why Old Mr. He forced an 18-year-old He Tingchen to remarry and have children, wanting one child to save the other. But He Tingchen has always refused, though I don’t know why, but in the end, he chose me, allowed me to get pregnant, and now he cares so much about the child in my belly, presumably because the other child is gravely ill.

Also, when I said Mrs. Chen cares about the child in my belly, it’s because I feel that woman might be Mrs. Chen’s daughter, or some relative of hers. That is why she is even more concerned about my unborn child, hoping for a safe childbirth to save that woman’s child."

"But all this is just your speculation," said Li Xiaoxiao.

Fang Anning replied, "But I feel my speculation is not wrong."

"What do you plan to do then?" Li Xiaoxiao asked.

Fang Anning said, "Seek the truth, no matter what, I want to know if my guess is right."

"Do you want me to help you get information from Liao Hanfeng?" Li Xiaoxiao immediately guessed the reason.

Fang Anning nodded, "I asked Bai Yunyang, and Bai Yunyang only knew that there was such a woman who was in love with He Tingchen and indeed was pregnant. But he doesn’t know what happened afterward, he even thought that the woman had already died. No one else knows even less. Mrs. Chen is likely to know the truth, but how would she be willing to tell me. I can’t ask He Tingchen, and even if I did, he wouldn’t tell. I cannot enter the backyard of the old house, unable to find out any information. Probably, only He Min and Liao Hanfeng, who are relatively close to the He family, would know. Mr. Liao might not even know about this. He Min naturally won’t tell me, and I can’t pry anything from her mouth. So, the only breakthrough is Liao Hanfeng. With your relationship with him, it wouldn’t be hard to get the truth out of him."

"And after you get the truth?" Li Xiaoxiao asked, "If it turns out to be as you guessed, that He Tingchen was just using you from the beginning to have a child for him to treat his first child’s illness, then what will you do?"

"What will I do?"

Fang Anning furrowed her brows.

She hadn’t decided what to do yet.

Leave He Tingchen?

He Tingchen’s meticulous planning probably meant that she couldn’t just leave whenever she wanted.

If two lovers quarrel they can break up, but she and He Tingchen couldn’t.

She had always thought that her relationship with He Tingchen was one of love and thus equal.
