Chapter 961: Chapter 959: The Heart Still Aches (1)

Because she had personally experienced those scenes.

"Wan’an, back then, Han Jingnian didn’t want to marry you, you knew that, right? But do you know why Han Jingnian suddenly changed his mind and agreed to marry you?"

"He needed a child, a child to be registered in the Han Family’s household, a child with the Han Family’s blood flowing through their veins."

"It was only after learning this that Han Jingnian finally nodded and agreed to marry you, and at that time, his true purpose in marrying you wasn’t because he wanted to take you as his wife, but because he wanted a tool for bearing children."

Xia Wan’an struggled to maintain a calm expression on her face, but her heart still ached.

It had been so long, and she had already digested those cruel truths, but when she revisited these words... her heart still ached, and it was a true, profound ache...

"They’re all considering your well-being? But what about you? Can you really enjoy their kindness towards you with a clear conscience? Can you really stand by and watch as Han Jingnian, for your sake, goes his whole life without children and even hands over the Han Family enterprise to someone else? You know very well what Zhijin is capable of. If Han Jingnian leaves the Han Family enterprise because of you, and Zhijin takes over, wouldn’t it be extremely easy for others to take it away?"

Xia Wan’an pretended to be asleep, but her fingernails silently dug into her palm.

In this world, who is the happiest? The selfish, the heartless... but she simply couldn’t be that selfish, nor could she ever become heartless...

She liked to watch TV and often saw characters using the pretext of doing what’s best for the other person to leave or let go... She would get angry and curse at the scriptwriters, but when it actually happened to her, she realized that if you truly like someone, you really can willingly make sacrifices for them.

The video wasn’t long, but those few short minutes felt like a slow torture to Xia Wan’an.

Especially when that conversation played.

"You can’t go your whole life without children, right?"

"I could find a surrogate."

I could find a surrogate... the phrase she had replayed countless times in her midnight musing, no matter how many times she heard it, it still hurt her, bothered her, caused her pain, and brought a sourness to her heart.

The video on TV finally ended, and the teahouse went completely silent.

After who knows how long, perhaps it wasn’t long at all, Su Ying spoke up, breaking the silence of the room: "So originally Xia Wan’an couldn’t conceive, and both Han Jingnian’s grandmother and Han Jingnian kept it from her, but then it was exposed by President Lu? Oh, no, not just exposed, but also forced Xia Wan’an to leave? Just thinking about it is so cruel to Xia Wan’an..."

Following Su Ying’s comment, the others in the teahouse began to whisper amongst themselves as well.

"Right, they’re still family after all, she’s been a daughter-in-law for so many years, even if she can’t conceive, they can’t just force her out like that, can they?"

"Normally, Lu Yangui seems like such a gentle person, how can she be so venomous in the video?"

"..."

"Yangui," Madame Han suddenly spoke up.

Her voice caused the whole teahouse to fall silent in an instant.

"Yangui, is everything in the video true?"

Lu Yangui sat upright in her chair without saying a word.

"Yangui, I’m talking to you!" Madame Han spoke again, her tone significantly more severe.

Making mistakes means facing the consequences... she understood this principle and was willing to bear them.

Lu Yangui pressed her lips together and then slowly turned her head to look at Madame Han, and it was at that moment, as her lips moved, Xia Wan’an, who seemed to be asleep with her eyes closed, made a sound: "..."
