Chapter 172: Bai Family

Why would he still indulge someone who didn’t know their limits?

Jing Chen thought that he was not such a person, but when he thought about how Bai Lian’s suffering was all because of him, she clearly had many choices.

Looking at Zhao Lin, Jing Chen smiled gently and said emotionally, “You have a lot of ideas. However, the main reason why she’s alone now is because of me. If I don’t care about her, how different is it from killing her?

Zhao Lin pursed his lips. He knew about this.

Bai Lian was not favored by the Bai family, but she was only slightly inferior to Second Daughter.

The Second Daughter aside, Miss Bai could have anything she wanted.

However, they were unlucky and the Bai Family plummeted. In the end, the Bai Family was forced to embark on the path of a business marriage. Needless to say, this responsibility fell on Bai Lian.

But at that time, Bai Lian was very intimate with Jing Chen. Although they were not together, Bai Lian’s heart was all for Jing Chen.

How could the Bai family not know?

However, it did not go as she wished.

Even if that person was Jing Chen and he had a better family background than the person who she had to marry for a business marriage, the Bai family was still unwilling. They wanted Bai Lian to marry that man and cut off her relationship with Jing Chen.

In addition, Jing Chen was the only one struggling to hold on in the face of the Jing Family’s obstruction.

Even if Bai Lian could not be with Jing Chen, she was still unwilling to sacrifice her happiness for the Bai family. From then on, Bai Lian and the Bai family were completely cut off from each other.

It was mainly because the Bai family was unwilling to acknowledge this daughter.

Later, Bai Lian learned that all of this was because the Second Daughter of the Bai family, her biological younger sister, liked Jing Chen too.

A marriage alliance could solve the problem of the Bai Family. Then, they could prepare for their Second daughter to get close to the Jing Family and satisfy their Second daughter’s wish. Then the two of them would finally be together.

Why not?

The Bai family’s plan was brilliant, but the reality was much worse.

In the end, Bai Lian went overseas and Su Wan and Jing Chen got married.

With this in mind, Zhao Lin lowered his head silently and did not say anything else.

Was there anything Jing Chen didn’t understand? He knew it too well, but behind this clarity, he had neglected one thing. He had developed feelings for Su Wan over time.

It made him gradually downplay the trivial matters in his life.

Compared to his relationship with Bai Lian back then, it was much more ordinary. This made him misunderstand that the person he was thinking about was still Bai Lian and that his relationship with Su Wan was merely a contract.

He did not have any feelings for her.

Now that he thought about it, Jing Chen could only feel frustrated. But the situation in front of him caught him off guard.

If Su Wan’s child really wasn’t his…

What should he do?

Jing Chen sighed and walked upstairs.

When he reached the door of Su Wan’s ward, Jing Chen took deep breaths before he mustered the courage to push the door open. Perhaps what awaited him was a bloodbath.

After all, the current Su Wan was no longer the same as before.

When he entered, the first thing he saw was Su Wan staring out of the window in a daze.

Jing Chen’s entry still disturbed her.

She snapped out of her trance. When she saw that it was Jing Chen, she turned around calmly and absent-mindedly, treating Jing Chen as a stranger.

On the other hand, Jing Chen smiled and asked, “What are you doing? It’s dark outside.”

It was already night.

Although there were dotted neon lights outside the window, it was much weaker compared to the brightly lit indoors. It was mostly dark.

Su Wan’s lips twitched and she frowned slightly. She felt that it was too noisy and did not reply.

Jing Chen was not annoyed. He walked to her bed and saw that she could not move at all. She could only move her head and she still had an Iv drip attached to her hand. She would not feel good if she slept.

“I’ll stay with you and watch over you. Don’t worry and go to sleep.”

Su Wan was speechless. “The nurse will appear on time to help me change my dressing. You’re doing something unnecessary.”

“It’s fine even if it’s unnecessary. It’s fine as long as I’ve achieved my goal.” Jing Chen was not to be outdone. The smile at the corner of his eyes deepened because Su Wan replied to him and looked away.

“There are so many things going on here. How can you still manage to be so happy? Should I say that you’re magnanimous, or that you don’t care at all, that’s why you’re so nonchalant?”

Su Wan retorted angrily. She loved Jing Chen from the bottom of her heart and hated him on the surface!

Therefore, she looked at Jing Chen with an unfriendly gaze.

But Jing Chen did not seem to care at all. He even looked interested.

Su Wan was speechless for a while. In the end, she even looked away from him.
