Chapter 637: She Couldn’t Give an Answer

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Huh?

Ah?

What?

What!?

Xiang Wan couldn’t believe what she heard.

A kid…

She has a kid?

The lovely female celebrity Xie Wanwan actually had a kid?

She asked, “You… you’re not kidding me, right?”

Xie Wanwan’s body stiffened for an instant as she cried even more bitterly.

She only cried and didn’t say a word.

Xiang Wan looked at the weeping beauty and gently patted her on the back…

Having learned this piece of shocking news, there were many things about Xie Wanwan that could be explained.

In the past, she liked Bai Muchuan, but she never dared to confess to him.

Now she liked Tang Yuanchu, but she didn’t dare to accept his love.

She had too many stories, too many emotional wounds. She was a woman that fate had tormented severely with that deep within her; she had given up on something known as love… She didn’t know how to love, nor did she have the courage to love someone.

Xiang Wan took a deep breath to relax. “That kid… where is the kid?”

Xie Wanwan shook her head. Her tears fell on Xiang Wan’s shoulders.

“I don’t know. I don’t know…”

What did she mean she didn’t know?

Xiang Wan patted her back gently. “Take your time and tell me what you know.”

Xie Wanwan sniffled her nose. “When I was brought to the Meng Family from that special school, I was already pregnant… five months pregnant, but since I had a weak const.i.tution, it wasn’t obvious, so n.o.body knew about it. At first, I didn’t know that I was pregnant as well. Consequently, I feel that something was amiss, but I didn’t dare to go for a checkup, and I didn’t dare to tell anyone… Until my tummy got bigger that I could no longer conceal it, my adoptive mom brought me to the hospital. The doctor said that I was too young, so induced labor was not an option… When the baby was born, my adoptive mom told me that my baby was too weak and died shortly after…”

It had been so many years.

She gradually forgot…

She forced herself to forget.

She told herself that the young girl, Xie Liang, had died.

From then onward, she changed her name to Meng Liang.

When she grew up, she became a celebrity. She used her original surname and called herself Xie Wanwan, which was her stage name.

She had thought that, by using a new name, Xie Wanwan would be the start of a new life for her.

After all, whatever had happened was already over.

Nonetheless, she was too naive, for her past returned to haunt her.

The voice recording in her doll was revealed to the whole world, which was akin to tearing her old wounds apart.

Her kid that she had never met before suddenly appeared in her life again.

“The second episode of the murderer’s script… you should have seen it already, right?”

Xie Wanwan slowly released Xiang Wan’s shoulders while sniffing her nose.

Xiang Wan nodded. Of course, she would not tell Xie Wanwan that…

Before the second episode of the murderer’s script showed up on the internet, she had already seen it on her mobile phone. “When I saw it,” she continued, “I couldn’t quite understand it. I didn’t believe it either.”

Xie Wanwan shook her head, a sneer hanging on her tear-streaked face. “It’s easy to understand.”

When she told Xiang Wan that she had a child, she had crossed the most challenging hurdle.

After crossing this blockade, it would be much easier to talk.

Xiang Wan was suitable for her to confide her feelings. Her gaze was just lovely… She did not seem like she was full of sympathy for her, nor was she overly agitated. She listened to her peacefully and would give her an encouraging gaze from time to time.

“So you’re thinking that the child which was mentioned in the murderer’s script… is your kid?”

“Yes.” Xie Wanwan’s gaze was full of sorrow; she also seemed worn out from her breakdown. “When you read through the script, wouldn’t you be puzzled? If the second person who would die is supposed to be me, then why bring a kid into the picture… and why would I risk my life to save that child?”

“…”

Xiang Wan could not refute that.

When she read the script for the first time, she was indeed perplexed by the mention of a kid.

She had also discussed this with Bai Muchuan…

However, they weren’t able to draw any conclusion, but now, the problem had been addressed.

“So, who called you up today?” Xiang Wan asked.

There was no need for her to be cautious in asking questions now.

However, Xie Wanwan shook her head.

“I don’t know. I don’t know that person.”

“Is it a man or a woman?”

“A man…”

“What did he say?”

Xie Wanwan kept quiet.

Slowly, she closed her eyes.

“… I can’t tell the police. If I say it, then the kid will die.”

“I’m not the police…” Xiang Wan held her hand. “I can be trusted. Moreover, even if you didn’t tell anyone, your kid’s safety is still not guaranteed.”

Xie Wanwan was dazed for a moment, and her hands grew cold like metal.

Xiang Wan squeezed her shoulders to give her strength. “Believe me.”

Xie Wanwan quivered slightly. “That man claimed that he is the adoptive father… and he wanted to meet me to talk about the child support over all these years that he helped to raise my kid…”

Child support? Adoptive father?

Then, that kid became hers just because he claimed so?

Xiang Wan stared at her in disbelief. “You believe his words?”

Xie Wanwan shook her head, then took her mobile phone to show her something.

“You’ll understand when you see this.”

There were two pictures: the first was the date of birth of the kid., and the other was a picture of a boy aged around 11 or 12 years old. He was wearing a baseball cap and was smiling sweetly at the camera with a ‘peace’ gesture…

Oh my!

Sons tend to take after their mothers, after all, huh?

The boy’s features were similar to that of Xie Wanwan.

When she saw the picture of the boy, Xiang Wan could already understand Xie Wanwan’s actions…

They looked so alike!

The genetic inheritance… was too substantial.

They need not any DNA tests at all. Their facial features were enough for her to tell.

Xiang Wan found it tough to ask a question that came to her mind, but she had to ask nonetheless. “Who’s the father of the kid?”

Xie Wanwan closed her eyes slowly and leaned against the wall, eyes fixed at the ceiling. “I don’t know, I don’t know…”

When she was sent to that Special Training School…

She lived worse than a dog then.

It was crazy…

… And full of sins.

She lived her days as though she was drifting away from her life…

Amongst her pleas of mercy, a seed of sin was left behind.

A kid.

…

The impact of this matter was too strong.

Xiang Wan tried to calm herself down but couldn’t help but to feel a chill climbing up her spine.

She was a woman, too, and understood what these experiences meant to a woman. She accompanied Xie Wanwan in her bedroom for about an hour. She used all kinds of methods to convince Xie Wanwan to change her way of handling this matter. “As long as you’re brave enough, then there’s nothing that you couldn’t conquer. Moreover, it’s obvious that a group of people is spearheading this. It’s clear that they wanted more than just child support…”

She couldn’t expose the information about Heaven’s Wrath and the biochemical weapons to Xie Wanwan.

She could only try her best to convince her…

… By looking at the problem from her angle…

… And tried to persuade her slowly using her own method.

“Whether the kid is real or not, the truth will be revealed when you cooperate with the police.”

Xie Wanwan didn’t speak. “…”

“Really?” Her eyes seemed lost.

Then, she shuddered and covered her face.

“No, I can’t let people know about this.”

Xiang Wan puffed a sigh. “I understand your concerns, but I hope you don’t take offense on what I’m about to say…”

Xie Wanwan looked at her. “Please say it!”

Xiang Wan pressed her lips together for a moment. “In reality, not many people pay attention to you. There are even fewer people who are genuinely concerned about you. What kind of person are you, how are you living your life, these are totally not a part of their concerns, although you’re a famous celebrity… The pace of life is fast, and everyone is too busy living their lives—a lot of them don’t even have time for their families. There are countless entertainment news and gossip every now and then. Once the matter gets blown over in a few days, who would bother to think about you?”

Xie Wanwan shook her head with tears flowing down her cheeks.

“People tend to forget,” persuaded Xiang Wan, “Those matters that you think are unforgettable are not worth mentioning in other people’s eyes.”

Xie Wanwan still shook her head.

“It’s your choice!” Xiang Wan patted her shoulders. “If you still insist on not telling the police, then I will keep this a secret for you… However, if you don’t tell them truthfully, then they would definitely not let you leave, and you wouldn’t be able to meet that man. If you tell the police, all of us will help you think of a way out.”

Silence took over.

It lasted for quite a while.

“If…” Xie Wanwan asked in her dry, hoa.r.s.e voice, “I mean if you are a guy… will you accept a woman who has given birth before? A woman who didn’t even know the father of her child…”

This shocked Xiang Wan somewhat.

So this was what she was worried about?

Tang Yuanchu’s young, handsome face came to mind as she thought about the little boy who wore a baseball cap who resembled Xie Wanwan. Suddenly, Xiang Wan felt a little blue.

Tang Yuanchu… would turn 24 this year.

So that was the reason…

This bothered her since she liked him.

Even a woman like Xie Wanwan would feel inferior when she fell in love.

“I couldn’t give you an answer since I’m not a guy.” Xiang Wan held her shoulders to make Xie Wanwan face her, then she showed her a smile. “But, you can ask him about it bravely; are you up to it?”

…
