The Pianist And The Lady[Republic Of China Gl] Chapter 81

Chapter 81

“What do you want?” Lan Yuan pretended to be calm and asked Zhao Wencheng.

Because she had used public opinion to hurt others, Lan Yuan knew that even if she had never cheated on Shen Xian during their marriage, the newspaper’s style of writing could turn white into black!

She herself was not afraid of being criticized, but she was afraid that Shen Xian would be criticized and that Shen Xian would be implicated.

“I only have one request, don’t divorce me.” Zhao Wencheng stated his conditions, and he was sure that Lan Yuan would agree to him.

“No!” Lan Yuan’s attitude was tough. She would not allow herself to be manipulated by Zhao Wencheng. “Besides this condition, I can consider other things.”

Seeing Lan Yuan’s determination, Zhao Wencheng threw a bunch of information directly in front of Lan Yuan and said angrily: “You really risked your life for Li Fangqing!”

Zhao Wencheng asked someone to investigate Lan Yuan. According to the detective’s investigation, Zhao Wencheng knew that——

Lan Yuan once went on a blind date with Zhao Wencheng, and even almost got married. Lan Yuan also learned piano to please Zhao Wencheng, but Li Fangqing dumped Lan Yuan halfway, so Lan Yuan was devastated before marrying her!

Lan Yuan looked at the documents that swore every detail about herself and her so-called “lover” Li Fangqing, and felt ridiculous in her heart!

She overestimated Zhao Wencheng and this society’s insight into how two women can become lovers!

It turns out that my relationship with Shen Xian is so insignificant in their eyes!

There was a thick stack of paper, but I actually skipped the story between myself and Shen Xian in a few words!

However, Lan Yuan is also grateful at this moment that the so-called arrogant gaze of society and men prevents her from involving Shen Xian!

Thinking of this, Lan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and prepared to fight back against Zhao Wencheng!

“It’s up to you. If you want to be exposed, just expose it!” Lan Yuan closed the document and had already made plans to apologize to Li Fangqing in person.

Back then, I acted with Li Fangqing and helped him get the money to build an orphanage. It seems that this man still owed me a favor, which could be used to offset the debt between the two.

“Do you have to get a divorce?” Zhao Wencheng was furious.

“I’ll call the lawyer in now, you sign!” Lan Yuan said calmly, she didn’t care about Zhao Wencheng’s crazy look.

After the lawyer came in, he took out two documents from his briefcase, placed one in front of Lan Yuan, and the other carefully in front of Zhao Wencheng.

Lan Yuan picked up the pen and signed her name without hesitation, waiting for Zhao Wencheng to sign.

When Zhao Wencheng saw Lan Yuan signing the contract eloquently, his heart became even more twisted and he tore up the divorce agreement!

“I can’t sign it. If you’re not afraid of ruining your reputation, then aren’t you afraid that your entire Lan family will never have a day of peace? Aren’t you afraid that the entire Lan family will not have a good life?” Zhao Wencheng continued to threaten.

“The Lan family is not peaceful at all. Without your trouble, I want to tear down that family!” Lan Yuan said coldly. She ignored Zhao Wencheng’s threats and ignored the life and death of the Lan family.

“I never knew you were so cold-blooded and ruthless, but that’s your biological brother and biological mother!” Zhao Wencheng pointed at Lan Yuan and said, why didn’t he expect that Lan Yuan, who seemed harmless to humans and animals, had such a vicious heart!

Lan Yuan’s eyes were cold and she ignored Zhao Wencheng’s criticism. She only knew that her father almost beat Shen Xian to death, her mother ignored her when she was in danger, her brother was useless, and her sister-in-law was vicious and scoundrel. She hated that feudal and decadent family with all her heart!

“I will come to you with another agreement with my lawyer tomorrow. If you tear it up again, don’t blame me for being cruel!” Lan Yuan warned Zhao Wencheng.

She knew Zhao Wencheng’s weakness, but a gentleman’s way made her not want to use scheming means, but just wanted to separate decently.But if this person keeps messing around, Lan Yuan will definitely retaliate!

The next day, when Lan Yuan and the lawyer arrived, they saw Zhao Jing and Zhao Wencheng sitting on the sofa together.

Lan Yuan immediately understood that Zhao Wencheng was planning to use the child to keep her, but Lan Yuan felt that this method was useless.

Sure enough, when Zhao Jing saw Lan Yuan come in, he immediately ran to Lan Yuan’s side. His tears couldn’t stop flowing down, “Mom, don’t separate from dad!”

“Xiao Jing, you go out to play with your secretary brother first. Mom just has something to discuss with dad!” Lan Yuan spoke to Zhao Jing tenderly. She wanted to give Zhao Wencheng one last chance.

“I won’t go out to play,” Zhao Jing shook his head, “Mom, you must promise me not to separate from my mother!”

Lan Yuan angrily glanced at Zhao Wencheng, disgusted with his clumsy methods, and did not intend to play the role of mother again.

“Xiao Jing, I’m not your mother, he -” Lan Yuan pointed at Zhao Wencheng with contempt in her eyes, “Nor is it you – dear -”

“Secretary Sun!” Zhao Wencheng stopped Lan Yuan in time with an angry roar, looking flustered.

The secretary came in immediately.

“Take Xiao Jing down and buy chocolates with him!” Zhao Wencheng told his secretary. He would not allow Zhao Jing to know that he was not his biological father!

“You are my mother, you are, you lied to me!” Zhao Jing hugged Lan Yuan and kept crying. He felt that Lan Yuan was lying to him.

Lan Yuan silently said sorry to Zhao Jing!

Lan Yuan also knew that she shouldn’t reveal this fact, but Lan Yuan felt that if she couldn’t get over it, Zhao Jing would also know about her divorce with Zhao Wencheng, and knew that she had given up on him. Paper can’t cover up the fire, so it is better to get rid of it in time. The long-term pain will be worse than the short-term pain!

If Zhao Jing knew that she was not her biological mother, she might not be so sad in the future!

A sharp slap hit Lan Yuan’s face. Zhao Wencheng didn’t even recover after hitting Lan Yuan. He realized that he had actually hit Lan Yuan, and his hands were shaking!

“Why are you so cruel to say such things to a child!” Zhao Wencheng pointed at the bridge of Lan Yuan’s nose, his eyes full of disappointment and hatred!

Lan Yuan ignored the pain on her face and just sneered, “You deliberately used the child as bait in the first place. If you are unkind, I will be unjust!”

“If you don’t sign today, I don’t mind exposing your hidden illness, Zhao Jing’s identity, and your Zhao family’s scandal!” Lan Yuan revealed his trump card and bottom line!

The lawyer pretended not to hear anything and stared at the ceiling, fearing that he would not be able to leave the office after knowing too much today!

“If it’s just an agreement, I don’t want to keep such a vicious you by my side.” Zhao Wencheng knew that Lan Yuan meant what he said, so he became scared and finally gave in.

The lawyer promptly took out the agreement and handed it to Zhao Wencheng!

The two sat face to face again and quickly signed the divorce agreement!

Holding the signed agreement in hand, Lan Yuan walked out. The sun was just right. She stretched out and smiled, feeling like a new born!

In the evening, carrying a bottle of red wine, Lan Yuan went to Feng Jia’s residence——

“What’s good today? Come to me with such good wine!” Feng Jia knew that this bottle of wine was worth a lot of money.

“Divorced, happy!” Lan Yuan showed a bright smile.

Feng Jia was frightened by the news and almost broke the wine.

“Be careful, such a good wine almost ended up on the floor.” Lan Yuan joked and took a bottle opener to open the wine.

“Really divorced? Why didn’t you discuss such a big matter with me?” Feng Jia asked Lan Yuan.

“Divorced. I divorced my marriage first in order to pursue Shen Chen again.” Lan Yuan said while opening the wine with a smile on her face.

Feng Jia’s pupils dilated again and he was stunned. After a while, he finally said: “It has to be you!”

“Wine is not free. The factory is asking for your help during this period. I have to chase people!” Lan Yuan poured a glass of red wine and handed it to Feng Jia.

“Okay!” Feng Jia gritted her teeth and agreed to Lan Yuan. She had just two days of rest and was about to start work!!!

It was almost the end of the month. Lan Yuan inquired about the train schedule early and knew that Shen Xian would be back today. She freshened up early and picked her up at the station!

Lan Yuan spread out her long hair again, wore a beret on her head, light makeup, a white skirt, a camel trench coat, and white high heels, giving off a youthful atmosphere.

After Shen Xian got out of the car, he saw Blue Kite at a glance among the group, and his heart beat wildly!

Lan Yuan also caught a glimpse of Shen Xian, who was carrying the salute, and was greeted by a huge crowd of people. Lan Yuan walked forward quickly, wanting to get in front of that person immediately!

Chen Xian watched Lan Yuan coming towards him and unconsciously speeded up his pace, leaving his companions behind.

The two of them were finally only ten centimeters apart, looking at each other with eyes focused on each other and nothing else!

“Welcome back, your visitor is here to take you home!” Lan Yuan said to Shen Xian with a smile.

Chen Xian recalled what Lan Yuan said at Yangzhou Railway Station that day——

“Shen Chen, if you don’t remonstrate in the past, you can chase those who come!”

“As long as you want it, I’ll always be there!”

“Your visitor is coming after you!”

Now that Lan Yuan has come to pick him up, Shen Xian feels that everything is like a dream, a perfect dream – seeing you off and welcoming you!

“Why are you dazed? Don’t you come with me?” Lan Yuan waved her fingers in front of Shen Xian.

Chen Xian noticed that there was no wedding ring on Lan Yuan’s hand and couldn’t help but wonder!

“No!” Chen Xian clearly knew that he and Lan Yuan had no home.

Lan Yuan is already married and the house she owned back then was sold, so she has no home at all!The dream has come true and it’s time to wake up!

“I still owe you a cup of coffee and treat you to dinner as compensation!” Lan Yuan said with a smile.

“You’ve already bought the coffee, you don’t have to pay it back.” Shen Xian stepped back ten centimeters, and the distance was not too far or too close.

“You paid last time, it doesn’t count. Come with me, okay? I have something to tell you.” Lan Yuan looked at Shen Xian seriously and spoke.

“Follow her!” Lisa pushed Chen Xian, just in time to push back the ten centimeters that she had retreated!

“What’s the point of having a meal with friends! Unless you have something in your heart, you don’t dare to go!” Lisa deliberately teased Shen Xian.

“Yes, it’s just a meal. Are you afraid that I’ll eat you?” Lan Yuan smiled and cooperated with Lisa.

“Miss Lan is so kind, why are you so coy!” Li Fangqing stood next to Lisa and said the same. He could see that Shen Xian wanted to go with Lan Yuan!

“Let’s go!” Chen Xian agreed to Lan Yuan. She felt that this was not what she wanted to do, but because she was too kind to refuse!

As the car drove forward, Shen Xian felt something was wrong more and more, and his eyes were confused, why was this direction going to his and Lan Yuan’s former home!

“I am the buyer and I bought the house!” Lan Yuan noticed Shen Xian’s doubtful gaze and said to Shen Xian while driving.

Shen Xian didn’t expect that this house would be bought by Lan Yuan, but she was glad that Lan Yuan bought it, because when she came back four years ago, she regretted selling the house so easily. She didn’t even have a place where she could leave exclusive memories!

“Nothing inside has changed. It’s still the same as when you left Jinling.” Lan Yuan continued.

“The flowers are the same every year, but the people are different every year!” Shen Xian replied.

Lan Yuan heard Chen Xian’s voice-over and felt ashamed and distressed. She would definitely not let go of Chen Xian’s hand this time.

The car stopped at the door. Lan Yuan got out, opened the door and invited Chen Xian in.

Chen Xian hesitated for three seconds, then summoned up the courage to finally take the first step.

Lan Yuan immediately bent down to change Shen Xian’s slippers, just like Shen Xian helped Lan Yuan change his shoes seven years ago!

Shen Xian didn’t hesitate this time and put on his shoes in cooperation with Lan Yuan.

Walking inside, Shen Xian found that the furnishings in the room were almost the same as before, the curtains were still the same color, the furnishings in the living room had not changed, and there was a photo of himself and Lan Yuan on the small table. Time seemed to stand still here.

But in Chen Xian’s mind, he remembered the painful memories of kneeling here before Lan Yuan and Lan Yuan’s harsh words to him, and his heart ached!

Lan Yuan walked up to Shen Xian and found that Shen Xian was crying silently, with big tears running down his cheeks and falling directly to the floor.

Shen Xian didn’t even realize she was crying until she saw the water marks on the floor. The pain in her heart made her cry unconsciously.

“I’d better leave here!” Shen Xian wiped away her tears in a panic, turned around and prepared to leave. This place felt too painful for her.

“Don’t go.” Lan Yuan held Chen Xian’s wrist.

Chen Xian stopped and continued to turn her back to Lan Yuan. She didn’t understand why she didn’t shake off Lan Yuan’s pull, but stopped subconsciously.

“I regret – regret abandoning you, regret getting married.” Lan Yuan turned her back to Shen Xian and cried, her eyes and eyebrows filled with gratitude and love for Shen Xian, looking at Shen Xian’s thin back with affection.

“It’s just regret, what’s the use of regret!” Chen Xian sneered and broke away from Lan Yuan’s pull.

But in fact, Shen Xian forgave Lan Yuan from the moment Lan Yuan admitted her regret. However, Shen Xian also knew how to stop being emotional and polite. She could not interfere in Lan Yuan’s marriage. Reason told her that she must leave here, otherwise she would do something stupid!

“Shenchen, please don’t leave, okay? I will make it up to you slowly!” Lan Yuan continued to choke.

Chen Xian turned around and took out a handkerchief to wipe Lan Yuan’s tears. As soon as Lan Yuan cried, she lost all her sense. She was even afraid that she had scared Lan Yuan by turning away just now, so she quickly explained——

“I’m not blaming you. Words are the biggest misunderstanding. Eyes never betray me. At that time, I still believed that you loved me. Even if you said harsh words, I still believed that you loved me.”

“I just want to tell you that the scar is still there. Even if the wound is healed, I still feel pain when I think back to the feeling you abandoned me at that time, so I don’t want to be so close to you anymore.”

Lan Yuan hugged Shen Xian and kept apologizing. She held him tightly in her arms. When Shen Xian showed a little tenderness, she wanted to greedily absorb it——

“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. I was afraid of dragging you down at that time. I felt that if you were with me, your future would be over at a glance, and I would drag you into a bottomless pit.”

Chen Xian let Lan Yuan hold him, and he didn’t let go until Lan Yuan stopped sobbing.

Then Chen Xian pulled Lan Yuan to the sofa and sat down, and patiently reasoned with her. She always felt that her elder Lan Yuan was more than two years old and could not lead others into trouble——

“If you really don’t love me anymore or fall in love with someone else, I will let you go and agree to break up.

But at that time, I couldn’t accept the unnatural death of a relationship. We loved each other deeply and shouldn’t be separated, so I kept pestering you and trying to keep you.”

“But after experiencing illness, death, and war over the years, I have gained a new understanding. Natural and man-made disasters are in front of me. Unnatural death is also death. If you love each other, you must stay together. This is a paradox.”

“Our relationship was already dead the moment you broke up. I shouldn’t have interfered too much and not let go, causing you trouble. I was immature at that time and there must have been a lot of things wrong with me. I also owe you an apology.”

“You already have a new life, and I don’t want to experience the same thing twice.”

Shen Xian said this sincerely and smiled at Lan Yuan. She was not only persuading Lan Yuan to give up, but also using reason to persuade herself not to be impulsive, cross the bottom line, and interfere in Lan Yuan’s marriage.

Lan Yuan listened very carefully. She heard that Chen Xian’s words were implying that there was no chance of getting back together between them. Shen Xian accepted the fact that they broke up and didn’t want to get back together!

“But I’m divorced!” Lan Yuan was silent for three seconds before saying this. Shen Xian didn’t want to get back together, but she did!

“What did you say?” Chen Xian’s eyes widened. She wanted to take back what she just said, implying that she didn’t want to get back together!
