After Wen Xi Lan left, Wen JunXi resumed what he wanted to say.
"Chairman Jiang, Yan Yan is still my wife. I deserve to know what happened." Wen JunXi pleaded.
"Yan Yan is now officially Jiang XinYan, that marriage with her is no longer valid. Firstly, you took advantage of her young age and married her without my nor your family's permission. This ensued your family hatred for her. Then, you brought in an outsider to bully her so much she almost lost her life. Wen JunXi do you really think I will allow this to happen again?" Chairman Jiang became angry.
Wen JunXi frowned deeply, "Chairman Jiang with all due respect it's not up to you whether she accepts me or not."
"Yes, it's not up to me but right now Yan'er has forgotten you and that dreadful past. Do you think when remembers how Ah-Lan was ripped from her stomach, when she remembers all her past misgivings as she stayed at your Wen Family's residence, she will want you again?"
"What-what do you mean by when Ah-Lan was ripped from her stomach. "Wen JunXi asked, the air becoming so chilly.
"Wen JunXi you're so smart and capable, how have you still not figured it out. Ask that Bai Jiu exactly what she did to my Yan'er. You put her in the wrong institution. That person deserves a tenth fold the retribution for what she did."
Wen JunXi frowned, the confidence he had earlier depleting every-so-slightly. A searing pain sliced through his heart as he remembered that day when he had heard Bai Jiu telling mother Wan that Yan Yan was no more.
For all this time he had thought Bai Jiu induced Yan Yan to naturally gave birth to Wen Xi Lan. He never had thought she would have had someone slice open her stomach and forcefully take the child away.
Wen JunXi's knuckles were white with how much he tightened them.
"Wen JunXi, my Yan'er may never be able to bear another child because of that. This is a debt you owe her. You'll need to pay it for a lifetime before you deserve her again."
These were the final words Chairman Jiang spoke before getting up to leave.
His anger was not abated. Being reminded of the state he found Jiang XinYan, his heart could not swallow the resentment. He lost his appetite immediately.
At the hallway, he saw Executive Assistant Wang returning with Wen Xi Lan's hand in his.
Seeing his great grandchild, his mood warmed up slightly, the resentment slowly fading away.
The child was innocent, always.
Wen Xi Lan was eighty percent Wen JunXi, however the twenty percent that remained in the shape of his eyes and lips all belonged to his family's Yan'er.
As soon as the little dumpling saw his great grandfather, he let go of executive assistant Wang's hand and ran up to him.
"Ah-Lan you're back." Chairman Jiang spoke.
"Mm." The child nodded. "Uncle Wang bought me the toy I wanted."
Chairman Jiang could not help stroking his hair affectionately.
"Good child. This is great grandfather's present to you. Ah-Lan great grandfather is sorry, he cannot stay and eat with you. He has to go now."
Wen Xi Lan instantly pouted, feeling wronged he could not even have a meal with him.
"Great grandfather does mommy not like Ah-Lan, is that why she doesn't remember Ah-Lan?"
The child asked, his small face marred with insecurity.
Chairman Jiang felt his heart coiling with pain. He sighed deeply and continued stroking his hair.
"Ah-Lan, it's not that your mommy doesn't like you. She just has a problem right now, but until she ready to, she will remember Ah-Lan." He explained.
Wen Xi Lan still pouted. He just could not understand.
Why did every child in his kindergarten have both mother and father living together. But his parents were still living separately. Wen Xi Lan had always thought after they find his mommy, she will come live with them together. But even though they finally found her, his mommy now did not remember him at all.
"Then does Ah-Lan still have to call mommy as auntie?" He asked.
Chairman Jiang nodded.
"Ah-Lan although your mommy does not remember you, she still loves you very much."
"Great grandfather will see you soon and will let you come visit, so you can spend time with your mommy."
"Mm." A small smile finally crept up his lips. "Great grandfather take care."
Such a good child. Although Chairman Jiang was reluctant to part with him, however, in the end he left.
Four-year-old Wen Xi Lan watched him leave, while feeling despondent. At that moment, he promised himself one thing: he will spend as much time as he can being good to his mommy so that she will remember him.
