Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 355

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 355

Wen Qing was upset to hear the mention of that woman’s name as he believed that she had a hand in Wen Xian’s death.

When Cheng Yuxiu and Zong Qifeng first got together last time, Wen Xian had just given birth to Zong Jinghao.

If not for the fact that the latter kept Cheng Yuxiu hidden, Wen Xian and Zong Qifeng would have had a few peaceful years together.

It wasn’t until Wen Xian found out that he had imprisoned Cheng Yuxiu that she insisted he let her go. Not being able to refuse his kind-hearted sister, he finally freed Cheng Yuxiu.

Hence, after Wen Xian’s death and when Cheng Yuxiu was about to marry Zong Qifeng, he set out his conditions which Cheng Yuxiu unexpectedly agreed to.

Until now, he felt that Wen Xian had been cursed by Cheng Yuxiu. Or else, his sister wouldn’t have died right after Cheng Yuxiu was set free.

Just thinking about his sister made him feel sad.

He snorted, “Despite living in B City, it’s still rare to bump into each other.”

Li Jing helped him to the sofa. “She wasn’t alone. She was minding two kids and…”

Li Jing was worried that she had read too much into it.

“Who else was there?” Wen Qing stared at her impatiently. Why did she stop mid-sentence?

“Lin Xinyan,” Li Jing replied.

“Who?”

“Jinghao’s wife.”

“She was together with Cheng Yuxiu?” Wen Qing asked as he squinted his eyes.

Li Jing firmly nodded. “Also, they seemed to be on good terms from the way they were talking.”

Wen Qing straightened his back and leaned on the sofa. “What did they talk about?”

Li Jing suddenly shot Wen Qing a grim look. “When Cheng Yuxiu agreed to your conditions for marrying Zong Qifeng, did you notice how eager she was to do so? Furthermore, she had to give up her inheritance and not bear any children just for a man.”

“What’s so strange about that? She and Zong Qifeng were already together for a while. Luckily, I found out about it early, or else Wen Xian’s marriage would have been destroyed long ago. Wen Xian was just too kind-hearted. I only freed Cheng Yuxiu because she had insisted I do so.”

Li Jing shook her head. “You know nothing about women.”

Perhaps Cheng Yuxiu could give up the right to bear a child over a man. However, to exchange her whole inheritance just didn’t make sense.

“What did you overhear?” Wen Qing asked.

“The only thing that can make a woman sacrifice everything isn’t love or money. It’s her maternal bond.”

Once a woman becomes a mother, she is willing to give up a lot.

As the saying goes, motherhood makes one stronger.

Wen Qing frowned. “What are you getting at?” He quickly understood what Li Jing was trying to say. “Do you mean that Jinghao is Cheng Yuxiu’s biological son? Li Jing, since when did you have such a ridiculous notion?”

Wen Qing grew upset. All this while, he felt Zong Jinghao was such an exceptional person because he was Wen Xian and Zong Qifeng’s son.

Hence, he was repulsed by his wife’s speculation.

“When I heard how Cheng Yuxiu talked about Jinghao today, it felt as if she was talking about her own son. She even called him Jinghao! Think about it; Wen Xian and Zong Qifeng didn’t get together out of love. Although Zong Qifeng didn’t love anyone at that time, Wen Xian did. Can it be…”

“No, it can’t.” Wen Qing obviously didn’t believe it.

How is it even possible for Zong Jinghao to be Cheng Yuxiu’s son? That’s just ridiculous!

“When you found out that the Cheng family’s silk fabrics appeared in the market, Jinghao said that he would take care of it. Until now, has he gives you an answer?” Li Jing asked.

“He’s busy.”

“How do you then explain his wife having a good relationship with Cheng Yuxiu? She is even close to his two children. Given how smart Jinghao is, I’m sure he knows.”

Li Jing finally managed to plant a seed of doubt in Wen Qing. Despite still finding it ridiculous, he began to have his doubts.

At that time, Wen Xian had had a boyfriend. She only agreed to marry Zong Qifeng for the sake of the two families’ interests.

Wen Qing’s hands clenched into fists. “What do you think we should do?”
