After talking for a long time, Tong Qing Meng looked up and realized her daughter was in a daze. She didn't know what she was thinking about, but she didn't respond to her. She reached out to touch Xinwan's wrist and realized her daughter's hand was cold. "What's wrong? You seem to be in a daze today. Why are you looking for me? "
When Xinwan said she wanted to meet over the phone, Tong Qing Meng felt it wasn't as simple as it seemed. Now that she saw her daughter looking so troubled, she was even more certain.
"Wanwan, Mom knows that you must have something to tell me. No matter what it is, since you've thought of it, just say it."
Xin Wan's breathing paused for a moment. She raised her eyes and looked at the woman sitting opposite her. Her aura was so good and her features were soft. She thought of her mother. When she was young, she was only in her teens and was already at an age where she was sensible. At that time, she would often hear uncles and aunties praising her mother — Qing Meng was really beautiful.
Xinwan's eyes flickered. Her hands on her knees instinctively tightened around her trousers. She didn't give herself a chance to hesitate and finally said, "Mom, did you and Seo Dong-jun already know each other 30 years ago?"
Tong Qingmeng was originally holding the coffee and was about to take a sip when Xin Wan dropped a bomb. She only felt her hand holding the coffee cup tremble and the entire cup of coffee spilled out.
The slightly hot brown liquid splashed onto the web between her thumb and forefinger. Tong Qingmeng's expression was already very strained. When the attendant at the side saw her, he hurriedly went up to her. "Madam, are you alright? Are you scalded? "
"I-I'm fine."
Tong Qing Meng's ears were buzzing and her mind was blank. She only heard the waiter ask something. Xinwan seemed a little nervous. She clenched her fingers and shook her head. However, deep in her heart, she felt like a cancer that had been hidden for 30 years was suddenly dug out. But what she felt now wasn't pain, but fear.
Yes, she was really afraid.
How did she know?
How did her Wanwan know about her and Seo Dong-jun? Could it be that Seo Dong-jun looked for her?
No, it couldn't be. The Seo Dong-jun she knew wasn't that kind of person. But what exactly happened in between?
The waiter changed the cup and handed over a new one. After the waiter left, Tong Qingmeng finally regained her composure. She raised her head and her eyes met with Xin Wan's clear eyes. Her heart started to panic.
But as soon as the topic started, she knew she couldn't hide it. "H-how did you find out?"
"Mom, I didn't want to talk about this at first because I just found out about it myself. At first, I didn't believe it either, but the truth is right in front of me. How can I not believe it? "
Xinwan's voice was still calm. Tong Qing Meng carefully observed the changes in her daughter's expression. What she was most afraid of wasn't her daughter finding out about her relationship with Seo Dong-jun. She was most afraid of something else.
But now that she thought about it, seeing how calm Xinwan was, she probably didn't know yet.
/
She heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this.
Xinwan's fingers gently fiddled with the sides of the coffee cup as she continued, "But now, Seo Dong-jun isn't willing to marry Wen Yuehua. I don't know how to think about the relationship between the three of you. Maybe it's between the three of you. As the younger generation, I shouldn't ask too much. But that person is Hanwoo's aunt. And mom, Wen Yuehua is pregnant."
Tong Qing Meng's expression changed. Her tightly pursed lips trembled.
Xinwan thought that some things had to be said. She didn't beat around the bush and said in one go, "I don't mean anything by telling you this. I just feel that it's not easy for a woman in her forties to get pregnant. I've interacted with Wen Yuehua before. She's actually a very nice person. But now, Seo Dong-jun isn't willing to marry her. I don't know if he's doing this for you, but mom, don't we already have a complete family? I-I know it's not appropriate for me to say this, but I'm afraid that dad will find out. If that happens, things will become complicated. "
These were indeed Xinwan's heartfelt words.
She knew what kind of person Jiang Youyi was. Her father wasn't very gentle either, but he had never gotten angry at her mother.
In the past six years, she could not be said to be a filial daughter. To be honest, she was quite stubborn. She always felt that when her father was young, he was not loyal to his marriage and irresponsible to her mother. She was the product of irresponsibility. Later, he needed to sacrifice her marriage to achieve his goal. She had a resentment in her heart, and her relationship with him was very estranged.
It wasn't until Jiang Youyi's accident that she realized that person was her biological father.
All these years, she had been doing well in America. If he hadn't worked so hard for this family, how could she have been so carefree outside?
To put it bluntly, who wasn't selfish?
She was selfish for the sake of her son, but her father was selfish for the sake of the entire Family Jiang. However, he wasn't the only one in the Family Jiang.
She didn't want her father to worry about these things at his age. He had sacrificed a lot for the sake of the Family Jiang, even though the Family Jiang was his to begin with.
Wanwan still didn't know anything.
Tong Qing Meng was certain that her daughter was only doing it for the sake of the family. She thought that she and Seo Dong-jun were still together, and Wen Yuehua was pregnant, so she couldn't hold back.
Tong Qing Meng's heart was completely lifted. However, she also knew that there were some things that she couldn't hide anymore. After all, her daughter was already a mother. She thought for a moment and finally said, "Wanwan, to me, this matter is already in the past. I'm already so old. What else can I do? But since you want to know now, I'm willing to tell you. You're all grown up. I believe you. You're also a good child who can distinguish right from wrong. I won't hide anything from you. "
By the time Xinwan returned to Wen Han-woo's apartment, it was already past seven in the evening.
She didn't eat dinner. Instead, she bought a small cake from a roadside bakery. After she parted ways with Tong Qing Meng, it was exactly six o 'clock. Tong Qing Meng received a call from Jiang Youyi. Her father had finished his work and was coming back early.
It was also because of Xiao Yu that Xinwan picked up the call from Tong Qing Meng's side. She told Jiang Youyi that Xiao Yu was fine and that she didn't need to worry. She also told her that she would bring Xiao Yu back to Family Jiang the next day.
After Xinwan sent Tong Qing Meng off, she walked aimlessly on the streets for about forty minutes. She was hungry, so she bought a small cake. After eating it, she felt her stomach ache. She didn't like sweet things very much.
She thought that it was getting late, so she hailed a cab back to her apartment.
Just as she was about to look for her room card, she heard the apartment door click open. Someone opened the door from the inside. Xinwan looked up and saw a man in casual clothes standing at the entrance with one hand in his trouser pocket. It was as if they had telepathy. Just as she was about to enter, he opened the door and waited for her.
"You're back?"
Wen Han-woo was the first to speak. His gaze darkened when he saw Xinwan's exposed neck and her fair, smooth skin. He suddenly reached out his hand and gently brushed her neck with his long, well-defined fingers. Xinwan shrank back and Wen Han-woo smiled.
"Are you afraid of me?"
"No."
She felt that she had probably accepted too many hard to digest facts all at once today, so she was a little shocked at this moment. She reached out and touched her neck gently, thinking that it was stained with something dirty. "What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my neck? "
"No."
Wen Han-woo's gaze was very gentle. He reached out and hugged her slender waist before bringing her into the apartment. Xinwan thought that the housekeeper was still at home and felt a little embarrassed. "Where's Xiao Yu?"
"He's asleep."
Wen Han-woo ignored her struggle and hugged her into the kitchen. Xinwan saw that the apartment was quiet. It seemed that even the housekeeper had gone back. She was relieved and allowed Wen Han-woo to hug her.
He poured himself a glass of water and brought it to her. "Where did you go?"
"I went to see my mother."
Xinwan was really thirsty. She took the water and drank two mouthfuls as she spoke truthfully.
Wen Han-woo nodded and took the glass of water from her hand. He placed it on the counter at the side and wrapped his arms around her waist gently. Because of his height, the man had to look down at the woman in his arms even though he was leaning against the marble counter behind him.
However, there was only gentleness in his eyes.
"Are you okay?"
Xin Wan raised her head. It was such a simple three words, but when the man said it, he was a little careful. She knew what he meant by "Are you okay?" Her restless heart that had been restless all night had surprisingly calmed down. Her heart even exuded a trace of sweetness.
He cared about her, and he still cherished her.
"I'm fine."
Xinwan couldn't help but move closer to him. She felt calmer when she smelled the masculine scent on his body.
There was only a year's difference in age between the two of them, but she always felt that he was older than her.
Perhaps it was because of his living and working environment, Wen Han-woo looked very calm and reserved even though he was only 30 years old.
His methods in the business world were naturally not opportunistic. They were all based on his experience and his way of dealing with people.
