Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 500

Stealing Your Heart Chapter 500

After hearing from Guan Jing that Wen Qing had come, Su Zhan sneered, “He thought he would be forgiven just like that?”

Zong Jinghao sat at his desk in silence. He did not expect that Wen Qing would take the initiative to admit his faults. This move was clearly trying to please him.

Wen Qing had a staid personality and he valued his reputation. Making advances by retreating was a clever move and he was stumped. It would seem unkind of him to just finish him off.

Shen Peichuan glanced at Su Zhan for he did not agree with Su Zhan. In his opinion, Wen Qing taking the initiative to admit his wrongdoings was clearly a sign of his desire for reconciliation. He looked at Zong Jinghao. “Why don’t you just meet him? After all, he’s Xinyan’s…”

Even if he doesn’t care about others, he should put himself in Lin Xinyan’s shoes.

“She left you in hopes of not putting you in a difficult situation. You should think of her before making a move.”

Regardless of how reluctant he was to admit it, the relationship between them could not be erased. Wen Qing was indeed Lin Xinyan’s uncle.

Zong Jinghao did not raise his head all this while. His voice was also very low. “You all just leave first and let him in.”

It was impossible for him to not have thought about something that even Shen Peichuan knew clearly. But still, he couldn’t overcome the hurdle deep within his heart.

How could the hatred he had toward someone who had killed his mother be so easily dismissed? It was because of Wen Qing he had to regret for life.

This was a dead knot in his heart. The trace would always be there and it would never disappear regardless of time.

Wen Qing walked in wearing casual wear with Li Jing holding him. It wasn’t long since they last met but it felt like it had been a century after everything that happened. Too many things had changed, and even the people too.

Li Jing helped Wen Qing to the sofa and said lightly, “When you want to leave, just call out to me. I’ll be waiting outside for you.”

Wen Qing agreed.

Li Jing lowered her head and went out from the office. In the current situation, she had nothing to say to Zong Jinghao, so she didn’t even say hello to him.

When the door was closed, the entire space fell into complete silence. It was Wen Qing who broke the silence first. “Ji has left the entertainment industry and joined the army. I guess he hasn’t come to see you yet.”

Li Zhan, who knew the ins and outs was ashamed to see anyone.

“I’m not here to make excuses or to plead with you. What I did deserves retribution and punishment and I will never shirk any of it.”

Li Zhan joining the army and him coming forward to admit everything was no coincidence. It was what he had planned for himself. His relationship with Li Zhan was never good so others were not clear about his identity. He had been in office for so many years and had a few confidants. It was not difficult to get Li Zhan in. Besides, he did not enter as his son, so It would not affect Li Zhan even if he made a huge mistake.

He did all this because he did not want the Wen family to collapse just because of him.

Li Zhan willingly joined the army because he knew Wen Qing had to be punished accordingly for the incident to be quelled. So he went to the army to strive for the Wen family so that Wen Qing would have no worries to come forward to admit and face everything.

Wen Qing knew that he had no one to blame or chide. Even though it was unknown to him, a mistake was a mistake. He only wanted to capture Cheng Yuxiu but he had no intention of taking her life but Cheng Yuxiu was indeed dead because of him.

It was his unavoidable responsibility.

“I have no complaints even if I have to go to jail or ruin my reputation. I only want to see her.” After saying so much, he didn’t look up. It was only by the end that he raised his head to look at Zong Jinghao.

He hated Cheng Yuxiu but he had never had the intention to kill her. If he really wanted to take her out, it would have been done over twenty years ago when he locked her up. He wouldn’t wait till now.

The only regret he had was he had prevented Wen Xian from being together with the person she liked. He didn’t know that she would be so persistent. After marrying Zong Qifeng, she still didn’t give up. He had no idea that Zong Qifeng would indulge Wen Xian, and even allowed her to find another woman, and absurdly gave birth to an illegitimate child she had with Zhuang Ziyi, hiding the truth from everyone. And neither had he expected that the person he had hated for half his life was the biggest victim in his sister’s plan.

Sorry was a word too light to make up for anything, so he would not say it.

Wen Xian had not only caused harm to others’ life but also his. But what could he say to that? What was he defense?
