CHAPTER 326: CHAPTER 317: MY MOM IS DIFFERENT FROM HER!

Dragging her suitcase, Wen Nuan stood at the company’s entrance, stunned by the scene in front of her, her heart aching violently. She bit her lip and got into the taxi parked on the side: "To the train station, please."

"Ah, youth, so impulsive, hitting without even saying a word." The driver was the same one who brought her to the company earlier and had just witnessed the fight. He couldn’t help but sigh, "You know, why can’t people talk things through? Don’t you agree, miss? When you find a boyfriend in the future, don’t pick one like him."

Wen Nuan responded softly, turning her face to see Leng Yan standing up, supported by the car. A string of tears fell, and her heart ached.

She knew Tan Qing had hit Leng Yan out of anger at seeing her wronged, and she felt a bit grateful for his kindness. But she also saw Leng Yan’s hand instinctively covering his stomach, his face pale.

Did his stomach problems flare up? Her heart twisted with pain, and Wen Nuan clenched her fists to harden her resolve. It was no longer her business; she couldn’t care anymore, or she’d get entangled again.

Yet, she didn’t want to see him being beaten. Ji Wei’s matter wasn’t entirely Leng Yan’s fault. However, she was frustrated that he hadn’t listened to her advice and insisted on caring for Ji Wei, which led to this situation.

The car started moving, and she couldn’t hear what Tan Qing was saying. She took out her phone and called Tan Qing.

"Nuan... hello." Tan Qing almost misspoke when he saw the number. Fortunately, he swallowed his words just in time, giving Leng Yan a cold glare and deliberately distancing himself from him.

"Tan Qing, let him leave, don’t hit him," Wen Nuan said, her voice trembling slightly.

She was really heartbroken.

She loved him, left him, and merely wanted some peace. After more than three years of deep love, thinking it would move the heavens, she grew increasingly lost.

Too tired...

If she didn’t leave, she couldn’t see any hope for the days ahead.

Even if Leng Yan blamed her for escaping at this time, unwilling to face things with him, what could she do?

As long as Ji Wei’s child was Leng Yan’s, it couldn’t be aborted. Li Qiu would protect it by any means necessary. She had dealt with Ji Wei for so long and understood what kind of person she was. That child was clearly her ticket into the Leng Family; how could she possibly leave the child behind or take it away like she said?

What Ji Wei truly intended was to leave temporarily and then use the child to win back Leng Yan’s heart. She didn’t deny that Leng Yan truly loved her, but what about the future? Blood ties are strong; he would visit the child once, twice, seeing not just the child but also the child’s mother—Ji Wei...

And as kind as she was, how long could she tolerate it?

The thought of Leng Yan holding that child made Wen Nuan feel she couldn’t endure it even for a moment.

And Ji Wei would do everything to cling to Leng Yan. Just the thought made her heart feel like it was being crushed under car wheels. Over time, she and he would argue endlessly over this, wearing down their love...

And Ji Wei and her child would then become the most important people in Leng Yan’s heart.

What a tangled relationship this was, with an inevitably tragic ending.

"Take care on the road." Tan Qing moved his lips, only uttering these four words.

At this moment, he couldn’t say much. Wen Nuan had said she didn’t want Leng Yan to know where she went. From his standpoint, he even more didn’t want Leng Yan to know.

Hanging up, Leng Yan was looking at him, his face slightly pale, unable to hide the complicated emotions in his eyes.

"Was it Nuannuan’s call?" Leng Yan’s throat tightened, "Where is she?"

"Since you can’t give her happiness, let go!" Tan Qing’s displeasure brewed in his cold eyes, yet he merely said this calmly, turning to leave.

Finally, he stopped, not turning back while saying, "Nuannuan said you two have no relation anymore. I think you know she’s loved too deeply, too exhausted. If you truly have her in your heart, consider her happiness more."

Leng Yan’s footsteps halted, and he got into the car.

Tan Qing had shoved him with all his might at the chest; it hurt. But what hurt the most were Tan Qing’s last words.

Tan Qing said Nuannuan loved too deeply, too exhausted...

He couldn’t deny it, but should he really let go?

"Such a temper?"

In Leng Yan’s office, Leng Ye stepped in: "I saw your secretary wiping tears outside."

"Big brother here to stand up for her?" Leng Yan sneered coldly, keeping his head down as he looked at the document in his hand, trying hard to calm himself down.

He never had much to say to Leng Ye, nor did Leng Ye ever visit him for any good reason.

"I heard from Tan Qing that Nuannuan left." Leng Ye’s voice was light, but a mocking expression floated in his brow: "Dad was really something, faking a marriage certificate to deceive people."

Of course, he hadn’t heard it from Tan Qing, but using Tan Qing as a shield was convenient. Leng Yan wouldn’t confront Tan Qing about this matter anyway.

Leng Yan said nothing, swiftly signing his name with the gold pen in his hand, while his other hand was tightly clenched. He wanted to punch this gloating Leng Ye, but they were in the office!

Leng Ye sat on the sofa, casually taking out a cigarette, gently smelling it under his nose, his voice as warm as chatting over family matters.

"Yan, when do you plan to tell Mom and Dad about this? Actually, you should understand why Mom did this. The hearts of the elderly tend to revolve around their children and grandchildren, especially..."

A glint of resentment flashed in Leng Ye’s eyes, yet his tone remained calm:

"Others say Dad knew she was pregnant back then and wanted her to abort the baby. But she didn’t. Now, history repeats with Ji Wei, and thinking of her past, she’ll help Ji Wei."

Leng Yan lifted his head, his eyes filled with an icy frost, looking coldly at Leng Ye: "My mom and Ji Wei are different!"

Everyone was clear about what happened back then. Li Qiu hadn’t known Leng Siyan was married when she fell for him. Pregnant with his child, as her pregnancy advanced, the emotional bond prevented her from aborting. And after she discovered Leng Siyan’s marriage, she completely severed ties with him. Those years Leng Siyan offered her money, but she never accepted a penny.

But Ji Wei is utterly different; he finally saw her intentions. In her eyes, the child was more of a trump card for entering the Leng Family, making him marry her. What angered him was that his mother probably thought Ji Wei, like her in the past, wanted the child out of love!

"Whether different or not, she likes kids and feels for Ji Wei, and that’s an unchanging reality." Leng Ye curved his thin lips into a smile, "I think she might prefer Ji Wei over Nuannuan. Yan, you’re a filial son; since Nuannuan insists on leaving, why not fulfill the old folks’ wishes?
