Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 107 He Cangyuan Comes to the Door (2)

"Shut up!" Yan Zuozuo roared, clenching her fists tightly and glaring fiercely at He Cangyuan. "I don't have a heartless, murderous father. I'll say it again, my father is dead, and you don't deserve it!"

He Cangyuan was somewhat embarrassed and angry, but since he needed her help, he could only suppress his anger and say, "Zuo Zuo, I'm sorry. I know I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a father all these years. Can you give me a chance? I will definitely make it up to you..." He spoke so movingly that he was almost moved to tears, but all he got in return was a cold laugh from Yan Zuo Zuo.

He Cangyuan pressed on, feigning a sigh, and said, "What father doesn't miss his daughter? The reason I didn't let you tell anyone was because I was worried my wife would treat you badly. I did it all to protect you. Zuo Zuo, Dad loves you. Can you call me Dad?"

Yan Zuozuo's anger subsided after witnessing He Cangyuan's shameless performance. She simply looked at him with amusement, remaining silent.

He Cangyuan didn't understand what she meant, and said cautiously, "Even if Dad has a thousand faults, blood is thicker than water after all. Zuozuo, can you really just stand by and watch me go to jail?"

Aside from Chi Moqing, he really had no one else to turn to. Although Chi Moqing was a businessman, politics and business had always been intertwined, and it was common knowledge that Chi Moqing had connections and influence far and wide. Even if he couldn't handle it himself, there was always the Chi family behind him. As long as he was willing to agree, they could definitely guarantee his safety.

But he also knew very well that it would be useless to ask Chi Moqing directly; he could only ask Yan Zuozuo to ask him. If he had known this day would come, he wouldn't have treated Yan Zuozuo that way in the first place; he would have treated her like royalty.

"Zuo Zuo..." He Cangyuan pleaded desperately.

Yan's mother stared intently at Yan Zuozuo, fearing she might actually agree to help He Cangyuan. She hated this man to the core. Chi Moqing also looked at her, wanting to know his young wife's decision. If she really asked him for help, although he wouldn't be completely absolved of responsibility, he could at least save a few years of his duties.

"Dean He, is the performance over? You can turn around and leave now. I have no interest in melodramatic plots." Yan Zuozuo spoke calmly, which surprised everyone. She glanced back at Chi Moqing and said, "I'm tired and want to sleep for a while."

Chi Moqing raised an eyebrow. Just like that?

Although surprised, he still went over and hugged her, giving He Cangyuan a cold look. "Dean He, are you going to walk by yourself, or should I call security?"

He Cangyuan looked at Yan Zuozuo in disbelief: "I am your biological father, my blood flows in your veins, Zuozuo, can you really bear to watch me die?"

"When I was in my mother's womb, didn't you also want to watch me die? It's because I have your blood in me that I inherited your ruthlessness. In a way, I should thank you." Yan Zuozuo sneered, her words full of sarcasm.

He Cangyuan's face turned pale and then red, speechless with shock.

"Dean He, stop acting. To me, you're just a stranger. Whether you live or die, whether you're good or bad, it's none of my business. And please have some self-respect. Stop going around swindling people by saying I'm your daughter. It disgusts me." After saying that, she walked inside, completely ignoring He Cangyuan's reaction.

He Cangyuan stepped forward, wanting to get closer to Yan Zuozuo, but was stopped by Chi Moqing, who looked at him coldly, "Dean He, you should think of another way. I can't help you. Don't bother seeing me out."

Chi Moqing let Yan's mother in and closed the door in front of He Cangyuan. He Cangyuan kept knocking, so Chi Moqing called security to take him away.

Yan Zuozuo returned to her room, and the composure she had been putting on finally relaxed. She lay alone on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, as if her soul had left her body.

Chi Moqing comforted Yan's mother before entering the room. He gently walked over and embraced her, stroking her back softly as he asked gently, "Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"

Yan Zuozuo leaned against him and shook her head. After a while, she asked, "Where's Mom?"

"She's in the guest room. You want to see her?"

Yan Zuozuo was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Let me be alone."

Chi Moqing nodded, holding her without saying a word. After a moment of silence, seeing that Yan Zuozuo seemed to have recovered somewhat, he said with concern, "Do you want to sleep for a while?"

"I can't sleep." Yan Zuozuo stared unfocusedly out the window. She turned over in Chi Moqing's arms and remained silent.

Chi Moqing didn't disturb her, but simply stayed quietly by her side.

After what seemed like an eternity, Yan Zuozuo finally spoke, her eyes filled with a dazed look. "Actually, when I was very young, I also longed for my father to be by my side. Every Sunday, all the kids in my class had their fathers, and their parents would take them out, so they all loved the weekend. But I didn't like it because I didn't have a father. My mother was busy working all day to earn money and didn't have time to spend with me. Every weekend, I would be locked at home, watching other people's parents take them out. At that time, I really longed for my father to appear."

Chi Moqing hugged her, tightening his grip even more than before.

Yan Zuozuo continued in a hollow voice, "Later I asked my mother when my father would come back, but my mother just cried and cried. She cried every time I asked, so I dared not ask again. I thought, maybe my father died, so my mother is very sad. I want to be a sensible child and take care of my mother in the future."

"When I was about five years old, my mother came home one day and locked herself in her room, crying and cursing. That was the first time I heard the name He Cangyuan. I stood outside my mother's room all night, terrified, but I didn't know what I was afraid of. It wasn't until the next morning when I saw my mother come out with red and swollen eyes that I realized I was afraid she would leave me too, abandoning me. I'm already a child without a father, and I'm afraid I'll lose my mother too." Yan Zuozuo spoke sadly, gripping Chi Moqing's arm tightly, as if she hadn't yet escaped the shadow of that time.

Chi Moqing held her tightly, sensing her fear, and gently comforted her, "It's alright, it's all over now, let's not talk about it anymore."

Yan Zuozuo shook her head, as if she wanted to finish speaking in one breath, her voice trembling with tears, "The next day, my mother showed me He Cangyuan's photo and told me that this was my father. He had already married someone else and had a daughter, and he would never come back. From now on, I would be a child without a father."

“You know what? Even though my mother cried and told me all this back then, telling me how cruel and ruthless He Cangyuan was, I still longed to see him. After all, he was my father, whom I had never met. I even thought that maybe if my father saw me, he would recognize me, and I would still be a child with a father. I had this dream for twenty years, until I finally saw him with my own eyes…”

"It's alright, it's alright. If it weren't for him, maybe we wouldn't be together now. We're fine now, let's not think about irrelevant people." Chi Moqing saw the tears in her eyes and quickly comforted her.

Yan Zuozuo wiped away her tears, regaining her composure. She nodded, "Yes, if he hadn't criticized me in his office that day, and even been afraid to acknowledge me, I might not have dared to propose to you." She bit her lip, a bitter look flashing in her eyes.

Chi Moqing gently touched her face, trying to make her feel better. "Then we're even. From now on, we're strangers. Don't be sad for him anymore." He wiped away her tears with the back of his hand.

But Yan Zuozuo couldn't help but cry, tears streaming down her face. "Chi Moqing, how could He Cangyuan be so shameless? How dare he call me his daughter? How did he treat my mother? How did he treat me? How can someone be so shameless..."

Chi Moqing sighed, knowing she was sad. He lowered his head and kissed away her tears one by one, gently stroking her face and looking at her with pity. "Zuozuo, he has already ruined your childhood. Do you still want to live in the shadow he gave you and make yourself unhappy now?" Yan Zuozuo shook her head vigorously, and then she heard him continue, "Then be happy. Your emotions directly affect the baby. If you are sad like this, both the baby and I will be sad."

Yan Zuozuo was taken aback, placing her hand on her lower abdomen, her eyes filled with deep maternal love. At her last prenatal checkup, the doctor said the baby was very healthy, and she could even hear the baby's heartbeat; she was deeply moved. She and her baby were now one, and she couldn't let her bad mood affect the baby. She reached out and hugged Chi Moqing tightly, saying in a low voice, "I understand."

Chi Moqing kissed her and coaxed her to sleep before going to see Mother Yan. He told her everything was alright and not to worry. Mother Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You've had a hard time these past few days."

"It's what I should do." Chi Moqing smiled. "Mom, don't take it to heart. It's all in the past. The important thing is that you and Uncle Mu are happy now."

Yan's mother nodded, never expecting that the sunny, cheerful boy she remembered had become such a repulsive figure. She only regretted that she had been blind to have let this relationship drag on for so many years and hurt Zuo Zuo.

She lowered her eyes, her sad face filled with sorrow and weariness.

Because he was worried about leaving Yan Zuozuo home alone, Chi Moqing brought his work home. His assistant stood before him, respectfully reporting on his work. Chi Moqing nodded, handed him the urgent documents, and said he would handle the rest later.

As the assistant took the documents and prepared to leave, he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "President, I heard that Cai Yaren's case is about to have a result, and he may face life imprisonment."

Chi Moqing nodded, knowing that the Cai family was completely destroyed. If Cai Yaren hadn't been so ruthless and threatened his wife, he might not have gone so far as to exterminate them. But Cai Yaren was too cruel, forcing him to do this.

After a pause, seeing that Chi Moqing didn't say much, the assistant continued, "And He Cangyuan, I heard he'll be prosecuted soon. The families of those medical records he altered without authorization have already united, and I'm afraid he won't have a good ending either."

Chi Moqing glanced thoughtfully at his special assistant and said unhurriedly, "Find a way to acquire the municipal hospital."

"Yes, President." The assistant wasn't surprised at all by Chi Moqing's decision, after all, they had invested a lot in the Municipal Hospital. Now that He Cangyuan was beyond saving, there was no need to let someone else benefit from it.

When Chi Moqing came out of the study, he saw Yan's mother sitting alone in the living room, and he knew that Yan Zuozuo was still in the bedroom. He greeted Yan's mother and then walked towards the bedroom.

Yan Zuozuo sat alone by the window, staring blankly out the window. Chi Moqing walked over, and she was startled, thinking it was Yan's mother. A look of panic quickly flashed in her eyes.

Chi Moqing smiled at her and reached out to hug her, "Why are you avoiding your mother?"

Feeling his familiar warmth, Yan Zuozuo finally felt relieved. She lowered her eyes, not really understanding why she was avoiding her mother. He Cangyuan had never been a taboo subject between them, so what was it that she couldn't face?

Sensing her confusion, Chi Moqing patted her head and said, "Go out and have a heart-to-heart talk with your mother." With that, Chi Moqing took her hand and went outside.

Yan Zuozuo was very nervous and pushed back in a panic. Chi Moqing chuckled, "You're not the one who should be worried right now. Your mother is probably blaming herself to death because the grudges of the previous generation have caused you so much trouble."

Yan Zuozuo was stunned. She only thought that if she hadn't insisted on going to He Cangyuan to acknowledge him as her father, this wouldn't have happened, and her mother wouldn't have been embarrassed. Didn't she consider how her mother felt, whether she felt the same guilt as her?

She glanced at Chi Moqing before taking a step.
