The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 80

Chapter 80

Zhao Wencheng couldn’t help but trembled when he heard Lan Yuan said he wanted a divorce, “Go to my study and talk!”

“Okay!” Lan Yuan walked straight to the study without waiting for Zhao Wencheng to follow.

“I don’t agree to divorce!” Zhao Wencheng closed the door and denied Lan Yuan’s request for divorce.

“In the past seven years, the Lan family is very grateful to the Zhao family for supporting the Lan family. I am also very grateful to you for taking care of me, but I can no longer hide my ears and deceive myself and others. Let’s separate.” Lan Yuan ignored Zhao Wencheng’s objections and insisted on divorce.

Zhao Wencheng doesn’t understand Lan Yuan’s sudden change. Before yesterday, he felt that his wife was no different and he couldn’t accept it. The only way he can think of to save her now is to use children, “What about Xiaojing, don’t you want him too?”

“Xiao Jing is a child of your Zhao family.” Lan Yuan said coldly.

“But he is also your child. He is only seven years old and cannot live without his mother.” Zhao Wencheng clenched his fists and held back his anger.

“He is not, he has never been my child.” Lan Yuan closed her eyes and said, suppressing the resentment in her heart.

“How can you be so heartless?” Zhao Wencheng pointed at Lan Yuan and said. He didn’t expect Lan Yuan to be so cold-blooded that he wouldn’t even want the child he had raised for seven years. There must be a reason behind this.

“I’m informing you of the divorce, not discussing it with you. Regardless of whether you agree or not, I will leave this home.” Every word Lan Yuan said was loud and sonorous. She did not allow any mistakes in this divorce.

“Have you fallen in love with someone else?” This is the only reason Zhao Wencheng can think of for Lan Yuan to want a divorce.

“I asked you yesterday if you had ever liked anyone else, but you didn’t deny it at the time.” Zhao Wencheng continued.

“This is none of your business.” Lan Yuan looked at Zhao Wencheng’s struggling face without any trouble.

But the next second, Zhao Wencheng rushed towards Lan Yuan, hugged her forcefully, pressed her on the desk, and used his hands to unbutton Lan Yuan’s cheongsam.

“I can’t humanely wrong you over the years, but I can also try to meet your needs. Even if I can’t do it, we can use other things.” Zhao Wencheng spoke hurriedly while unbuttoning Lan Yuan.

He thinks that couples have the seven-year itch, and he doesn’t believe that Lan Yuan doesn’t have any feelings for him, because gratitude can be considered a kind of emotion.

In the past seven years, Lan Yuan has been as calm as a pool of stagnant water. Zhao Wencheng thought that someone else must have caused ripples, which made Lan Yuan think about divorce. As long as he could satisfy Lan Yuan, she would definitely stay.

Being suddenly hugged by Zhao Wencheng and touching her neck, Lan Yuan felt nauseated and physically uncomfortable. She reached the paperweight on the table with her backhand and hit Zhao Wencheng’s forehead hard.

Zhao Wencheng was suddenly attacked and his movements stopped. Lan Yuan took advantage of this moment to push Zhao Wencheng away, slapped him, and ran directly to the bathroom to vomit.

Zhao Wencheng pressed his bleeding forehead with a handkerchief and went directly into Lan Yuan’s bedroom, only to find Lan Yuan packing her things.

“Are you leaving this home now?” Zhao Wencheng asked Lan Yuan regardless of the pain.

“You stay away from me first.” Lan Yuan found out that Zhao Wencheng had broken into her room. She felt nervous and quickly picked up the scissors on the table and pointed them at him.

Zhao Wencheng took three steps back when he saw the scissors.

“Sorry about what happened just now, I was just too excited.” Zhao Wencheng excused his compulsive behavior.

“The agreement will be drawn up tomorrow. I and the lawyer will come to you to sign. Your property and children will belong to you.” Lan Yuan closed the box and prepared to leave overnight.

“I won’t sign! You’ve given up on this!” Zhao Wencheng stared at Lan Yuan. Now he hated this ruthless and unjust woman, and he would not let her go free.

The next day, Lan Yuan and her lawyer came to Zhao Wencheng’s office in the afternoon to ask him to sign.

Zhao Wencheng’s secretary directly told Lan Yuan that Zhao Wencheng had temporarily gone to the south to discuss business.

Lan Yuan also knew that Zhao Wencheng was deliberately avoiding her, so she smiled helplessly, “Tell your boss, I will give him five days at most to think about it.”

“Madam, the boss also asked me to tell you that if you insist on breaking up, he will not make it easy for the Lan family!” the secretary said sarcastically.

Lan Yuan naturally knew what this meant – the Lan family had saved its business with the help of the Zhao family, and many businesses relied on the Zhao family’s matchmaking. With this divorce, Zhao Wencheng planned to cut off the Lan family’s business.

“Tell him that I don’t care about the Lan family’s business!” Lan Yuan spoke politely to the secretary.

“Okay, I will definitely pass the message to Madam when the boss comes back.” The secretary nodded.

Lan Yuan knew that she would not see Zhao Wencheng today, so she left with the lawyer.

When Zhao Wencheng heard what Lan Yuan asked his secretary to help pass on, he was so angry that he smashed the vase.

“Go and check for me. Find out who Lan Yuan has known and interacted with since childhood in Yangzhou. Check them all for me.” Zhao Wencheng angrily assigned the secretary this task. He wanted to know whether Lan Yuan got divorced because of a change of heart.

Four days later, looking at the information he found about Lan Yuan, Zhao Wencheng laughed at himself that he had never discovered Lan Yuan’s true face. His seemingly gentle and kind-hearted wife was actually a person who lied without a blush or a heartbeat.

Zhao Wencheng knew that the last time Lan Yuan made an excuse to go home to visit her mother, she actually only stayed in Yangzhou for one day. He also knew that Lan Yuan had gone to Shanghai. He also knew that Lan Yuan did all this for the old lover he met seven years ago.

Lan Yuan has been busy in the factory for the past four days. Feng Jia went to other places to negotiate business. Supervising work, cashiering, formulating production plans and other tasks all fell on Lan Yuan, and he was so busy every day.

Finally having a break, Lan Yuan looked at the busy female workers on the textile machine, and recalled the days when she moved to Jinling after pretending to give birth to Zhao Jing——

At that time, Lan Yuan didn’t know how to be a mother who took care of her children. She wanted to work and become the independent and free person Shen Xian expected.

But Lan Yuan also knew that she could no longer work with Hunter and planned to find another way.

At this time, a new orphanage was built in Jinling and needed teachers, so Lan Yuan volunteered.

The dean was a very nice person. Seeing that Lan Yuan was talented, he immediately kept her.

Lan Yuan is mainly responsible for teaching children to read, read and draw.

After working for two years, an unexpected guest came to the orphanage – Qian Pei.

“Do you know why I came today?” Qian Pei and Lan Yuan said while walking.

“I don’t know.” Lan Yuan shook her head.

“My father passed away half a month ago. Before he died, he told me that he had a daughter who was more than 20 years younger than me. His third aunt gave birth to her. My mother was the first wife at the time. She was angry with my father for pampering his concubine even at his age, so she threw the child in an orphanage!” Qian Pei said helplessly.

As usual, Lan Yuan just listened without commenting. Household affairs were kept in chaos and it was not appropriate to intervene.

“Before the old man died, he hoped that I could help her find this child. This is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The child is about twenty-three now. I don’t know whether he is alive or dead.” Qian Pei sighed. She also asked her mother where she threw the child, but her mother refused to tell her.

“I came here today, and I didn’t expect to find it. After all, you have only been established for two years. I just want to miss that sister. She is also pitiful. Her mother also jumped into the well and died because she lost her child.” Qian Pei continued to sigh.

“It all depends on people. I believe Sister Pei’s sister is still alive and well. Maybe she was adopted by a good family and is very happy now!” Lan Yuan also sympathized with Qian Pei’s younger sister, who was really such an innocent child.

“I hope she can meet a good family!” Qian Pei also felt sorry for the child he had never met.

“By the way, do you plan to keep working here, Miss Lan? I remember Miss Lan is better at making clothes.” Qian Pei asked Lan Yuan.

“Probably, I have no other plans at the moment.” Lan Yuan replied.

Later, the two chatted for a few more words and then left. A few days later, Qian Pei came to see Lan Yuan again.

“I inherited a textile factory from my father. Is Miss Lan interested in helping me run and manage it?” Qian Pei asked. She somehow felt that Lan Yuan should not be confined to this small world.

“I’m not good at this, I’m afraid that Sister Pei will lose money.” Lan Yuan refused.

“It doesn’t matter, this is also the most inconspicuous factory in my family, otherwise my eldest brother wouldn’t let me go when he was fighting for property. I usually don’t have time to take care of it, so you can take care of it for me.” Qian Pei explained.

Later, Lan Yuan also agreed. She also wanted to try a more ambitious career, and even hooked up with Feng Jia, who was an undergraduate and dejected at home.

The factory is older and smaller than they imagined, with old machines, workers slacking off, and no big orders!

The three of them worked together. Qian Pei used his private money to give it a try. Lan Yuan and Feng Jia didn’t have as much money as Feng Jiaduo, so they mainly contributed!

After two years of struggling, traveling around on those trains to discuss business, rescuing materials in time during heavy rains, and struggling to load and pack goods late at night, their factory finally showed some improvement and began to prosper.

The factory has been running smoothly for three years, and Qian Pei has always been the major shareholder. The combined money earned by Feng Jia and Lan Yuan is less than half of Qian Pei’s, but they still love this business and still like this feeling of independence and freedom!

And they insist on recruiting only female workers – society is already in turmoil, and women in society need this job more than men in society to protect themselves.

The factory bell rang, and Lan Yuan stopped thinking about the past. Today was finally not that busy, and she got off work normally.

Back at the door of the house where she and Shen Xian once lived together, Lan Yuan found a letter in the mailbox and opened it –

“I plan to return to Jinling at the end of the month and return to Jinling from Kunming. Pay attention to the train time.

——Lisa Book”

Shen Xian and his party are preparing to set off from Guangdong to Yunnan, which is also the last province of their charity performance, and then return to Jinling.

Lisa wrote a letter in advance and sent it to Lan Yuan. She could see that she was thinking about Lan Yuan along the way, so she wrote this letter. She asked for Lan Yuan’s mailing address as early as Yangzhou.

Lisa believed that as long as she told Lan Yuan the news, Lan Yuan would make preparations and come to the station to pick up Chen Xian!

Knowing that Shen Xian was about to return to Jinling, Lan Yuan knew that she didn’t have much time left, and she had to quickly end the relationship with Zhao Wencheng.

Tomorrow is the last day of the five-day period, and Lan Yuan plans to meet Zhao Wencheng for a while.

This time Lan Yuan took the lawyer with him and successfully met Zhao Wencheng.

“Your lawyer will step aside for a moment. I will agree to the divorce, but there are a few issues that I need to discuss with you privately.” Zhao Wencheng said to Lan Yuan, with provocation in his eyes.

The lawyer walked out of the office, and Zhao Wencheng sat on the chair with a condescending air.

“What do you want to ask?” Lan Yuan took the initiative.

“Isn’t it because of your lover that you are so impatient, so unable to sit still, and so anxious to divorce me?” Zhao Wencheng looked at Lan Yuan playfully.

“You have such a good relationship with your lover. They were inseparable seven years ago. Seven years later, you went to Yangzhou and Shanghai for him. You are so shameless!” Zhao Wencheng continued to attack Lan Yuan.

Lan Yuan clenched her hands tightly. She didn’t allow others to say that Shen Xian was her lover, and she didn’t allow others to throw dirty water on Shen Xian!

“You don’t deserve to mention her, and I have never cheated on you since I got married, so you don’t have to scold her!” Lan Yuan glared at Zhao Wencheng and said.

“Are you guilty? What will others think if I expose you and your lover?” Zhao Wencheng glared at Lan Yuan and sneered, his tone full of threats.
