Jin Group

Darren entered the General Manager’s office. Then his assistant Rex followed in, “Mr. Darren, what can I do for you?”

Darren sat down on the leather swivel chair and said, “Help me find out what Zhan was doing when I was hospitalized five years ago, which man did he know and who is the child’s father. And I want to know who the donor was. Find out the answers as soon as possible.”

“Yes, Mr. Darren.” Rex promised and then left.

After he left, there was called from Jin mansion, Darren received it.

“Mr. Darren, Ms. Xiao fell in a faint. What should I do?” As soon as phone recived man asked.

“Call 120 and then send her to the hospital,” Darren was calm and said, “and then inform the Xiao family.”

“OK.” The man replied.

After he hung up the phone, Darren put his elbows on the desk, with his fingers clasped and his eyebrows frowned.

After sitting there for a while, he stood up and then squatted down to open the last drawer of the desk, and then he took out a white wooden picture frame which was covered by many books.

He put the picture frame on the desk. The glass of the frame was broken, but the picture inside was still intact. He stroked the person in the picture with his fingers through the glass.

The boy in the picture was Zhan. He smiled happily and looked like a fairy in a fairyland with a blue clothes and the petals falling down around him.

Darren always put this picture on the head of his bed; later he took it into his office when he had an internship; and then he took it into the hospital when he was sick, because he wanted to stay with him every moment. However, Zhan disappeared when Darren was sick and he was about to die….

When Zhan appeared with a child in his arms, Darren felt hurt and sad. He would rather not have undergone the operation or healed, he would rather die.

After he married Lingjiao, he pushed him to forget Zhan. And he had forgotten him for five years. However, he couldn’t forget him until right now, and he still remembered him.

He didn’t give Zhan a chance to explain, so he had to find the answer by himself now.

***

At the same time, Yibo was sitting in the office and listening to the report of Fanxing.

“Mr. Yibo, is clear?” Fanxing didn’t think that he could focus on work today.

Yibo thought about something for a while and then said, “Fanxing, I need your help.”

“What can I do for you, Mr. Yibo?” Fanxing asked.

“I want to know what happened five years ago… ” When Yibo talked about it,

Fanxing was nervous and interrupted him, “Do you want to investigate the man who slept with you and then disappeared five years ago?”

Fanxing investigated him for a long time, but he couldn’t get any information about him. Finally, Yibo gave up on investigating him.

Why did he mention him again?

Yibo stared at him and said, “Thanks for reminding me that you couldn’t even get any information about a man.”

“Mr. Yibo, I think he had planned it well before he did it. He was so sly. ” Fanxing was questioned in terms of his capability because of this man, so he was also dissatisfied with this man.

“No excuse!” Yibo leaned against the back of his chair and blamed him.

Fanxing dared not to say anything with his head down.

“This time, I would like to give you one more chance. But this time you need to investigate Zhan.” Yibo had no choice but to do it because he didn’t know more about Zhan.

Why didn’t he want to explain to Darren but made him mistake it since Fei wasn’t his daughter?

Why didn’t he tell everyone who was Fei’ biological father?

What was his purpose?

“Help me investigate what happened when Zhan gave birth to Fei 5 years ago. I want to know more about it in detail. And the most important thing is to investigate who Fei’ biological father is.”

“Yes, Mr. Yibo. I won’t let you down this time.” And then Fanxing left.

Hospital

°°°°°°°°°°°°

Jianmin and Jingtong got to the hospital, after receiving news of Lingjiao.

“Mr. and Mrs. Xiao, now you are here, I will be leaving then.” The man handed the bills to them.

Jingtong took over the bills and asked, “Does Darren know that Lingjiao is in hospital now?”

“Mr. Darren asked me to notice you after sending Ms. Xiao to the hospital.” The man said to them and then left.

Jianmin frowned and then sat down on the seat outside the emergency room, “It seems that Darren has decided to let her get out of the Jin family.”

“What should we do?” Jingtong was anxious, too.

“I don’t know, either. She really made me embarrassed. She deserves it.” Jianmin was also disappointed, “We had hope because she was pregnant. However, this child may not belong to the Jin family.”

“Since she is so shameless, I don’t think the Jin family will raise the child for her. It is best for her if she can survive.”

Jingtong asked, “What do you mean?”

“We can’t help her. She has to survive by herself.” Jianmin said.

“What if this child belongs to the Jin family?” Jingtong hoped so.

“If this child belongs to the Jin family, we don’t need to do anything, because the Jin family will raise the child.” Jianmin said, “And you don’t need to care about her in the future.”

When they were talking, a doctor opened the door and then came in, Jianmin and Jingtong walked forwards and asked the doctor, “What’s wrong with my daughter?”

“She has been pregnant for almost three months, but she is very weak and malnourished with anemia and hypoglycemia, and she suffers from threatened abortion. As a pregnant woman, why can she be so bad? How do you take care of her as her parents? Why is her husband so indifferent to his wife and child?” The doctor blamed them, “If you were not prepared, you shouldn’t have got pregnant easily!”

“Yes, you are right. It’s our fault.” Jingtong kept nodding, “We will take good care of her later.”

“She has to stay in the hospital for two days for observation, And she needs much more nutrition after being discharged from the hospital.” And then the doctor left.

Lingjiao was transferred to a private room, Jingtong and Jianmin followed her.

Jingtong felt complicated when she saw her face was pale. She had persuaded herself not to care about her, but she couldn’t do it.

“She has been better. We can employ a nursing worker to take care of her. Let’s go back home.” Jianmin checked the time, “We have to go to work tomorrow.”

Jingtong paid all the fees and then left together with Jianmin.

The next day, Lingjiao found that she was in the hospital after she woke up.

Lingjiao she knelt down. the quilt and got up. However, she was so weak.

The nursing worker saw that when she opened the door, so she quickly helped her up and said, “Miss Xiao, no matter what you want to do, you can ask me for help.”

“Who are you?” She held the bed to stand up.

“I am a nursing worker employed by Mrs. Xiao.” The middle-aged woman helped her back to the bed and then gave her a pillow to lean against, so that she could feel comfortable..

“I want to see my mom.” Lingjiao said.

At this time, Jingtong opened the door and came in with a thermo jug in her hands and then got closed to the bed and said, “I asked the chef to cook the chicken soup for you. You should drink much more soup later.”

“Mrs. Xiao, let me help you.” The nursing worker took over the thermo jug.

“Mom, I remember that I was waiting for Darren in front of his place. Who sent me to the hospital? Was it Darren?” Lingjiao looked at Jingtong with expectation.

“A servant of the Jin family did.” Jingtong answered her.

Lingjiao was upset and her hands held the quilt tightly, “Why didn’t he visit me since he knew that I was in hospital? Why is he so cruel?”

“The doctor said that you need to take a good rest. Don’t think about it.” Jingtong saw the nursing worker walking towards her with a bowl of chicken soup in her hands, so she took over the bowl and then fed Lingjiao.

Lingjiao refused to drink the chicken soup.

Jingtong put the bowl down on the table and then said, “The doctor said that you suffered from threatened abortion. Since Darren didn’t want to be with you anymore, you can give up this child by eating or drinking nothing, so that this child won’t become your burden in the future.”

Lingjiao turned to her and said with tears, “Mom, this child belongs to Darren and me, I won’t give up. I have to give birth to this child and ask the child to call Darren as dad.”

“Do you still want to be with him?” Jingtong thought that she was so stubborn, “Lingjiao, even if you give birth to this child, and Darren is the child’s biological father, they won’t accept you again. You are not important to them at all. You should realize it.”

“You are still young. If you have no kid, you can marry a man who is better than Darren. And then you can live happier. Why do you torment yourself this way? Don’t do that again!”

“Mom, I only love Darren.” Lingjiao said with tears, “I can’t live without him, I feel like I am about to die now.”

“But he lives well without you. Can you be strong?” Jingtong was angry, “He doesn’t love you anymore.”

“No, he is just mad at me.” Lingjiao argued with her with tears, “It will be fine when he is not angry.”

“Well, I think you should think about it twice.” Jingtong was too angry to talk with her anymore.

Lingjiao cried.

She took up her phone and then called Darren. But he didn’t answer…

She kept calling her, but he didn’t answer her call at all, Finally, she threw away her phone and then cried out loudly. When she felt tired from crying, she drank the chicken soup and then she wanted to leave the hospital.

The nursing worker stopped her, “Ms. Xiao, you are weak now. You can’t go out.”

“Leave me alone.” And then Lingjiao left the hospital.

_________________________________________

After work, the driver had been waiting for Zhan at the entrance of the Liu company.

The driver opened the door of the car for him, and then he got in the car.

On the way to kindergarten, Jiyang called him, “Zhan, let’s go out for drinking tonight.”

“I have to pick up Fei.” Zhan answered, “And I have to take care of her tonight.”

“Ask Mr. Yibo for help.” Jiyang acted like a child.

“He gone back to Beijing today…” Zhan was upset when talking about Yibo.

“Doesn’t he stay at home? That’s great! You must go out with me.” Jiyang laughed happily and said, “And you can take Fei to my home, and Freya will take good care of her.”

Zhan kept silent for a while and thought about it twice.

“Since Mr. Yibo has gone back to Beijing, it is a good chance for us to go out and have fun, Jili also has time today, and we haven’t got together for a long time. Come on, let’s go.” Jiyang tried his best to persuade him.

“Alright.” Zhan had promised him.

“Then I will wait for you and Fei at home.” Jiyang said happily.

When Zhan arrived at the kindergarten and picked up Fei, Fei didn’t see Yibo and she asked, “Mom, where is dad?”

“He went back to Beijing to see his friend.” Zhan held her hands and answered, “We will go to visit uncle Jiyang.”

“That’s great! I also miss uncle Jiyang. “Fei was a bit excited, “I am so glad to see him.”

Zhan touched her head gently with his hand and held her in his arms. He felt that he didn’t care about anything as long as Fei stayed together with him.

***

When they arrived at Jiyang’s home, Freya had already prepared a meal for them. She greeted, “Hello, Mr Zhan. Hello, Fei.”

“Hello, Freya.” Zhan and Fei answered her together.

Jiyang walked forwards and bent down to tapped Fei’ nose gently with his finger and said, “Do you miss me?”

“Of course.” Fei kissed his face while talking.

“Let’s go for dinner.” Jiyang held her hand and took her to the dining room.

Zhan put down her bag and then walked to the dining room, too.

Jiyang liked eating some greasy foods while Zhan liked eating some vegetables and fruits and drinking yogurt.

“Eat less, please.” Jiyang said to Zhan, “We will drink some wine later.”

After dinner, they played together with Fei for a while, and then Jili came to pick them up.

They asked Freya to take care of Fei, and Fei was well-behaved, “Mom, you are very tired after work every day, so it’s good for you to go out to have fun. And you don’t need to worry about me.”

Zhan was so moved and really appreciated because his daughter was so sensible and considerate.

***

The driver was in charge of driving. Jili sat in the passenger seat, Zhan and Jiyang in the back.

They went to Koo Bar, which was the biggest and best bar in City. And those people in the bar were excited again and again..

They went upstairs to the second floor and found a table with dividers around and then sat down. They faced the dancing floor downstairs so they could see the sexy girls dancing on the dancing floor with the music.

Jili asked the waiter to give them two dozens of wine, which surprised Zhan, “Jili, are you sure we can drink all of the wine?”

“Compared with others, we are so weak, I think we should drink much more.” Jiyang said disdainfully.

“Do you forget that you cried in the street after you got drunk last time? Don’t drink too much.” Zhan replied to him.

“How could you go out for drinking without inviting me?” Jili leaned against the sofa, with his legs crossed.

“Would you go out to the food stall at the entrance of our school to drink? Come on, it isn’t suitable for you since you are so noble.” Jiyang sneered.

Jili always pursued an exquisite life, and he required high quality for everything in his life. So he wouldn’t go to a food stall to have a drink.

“Open the bottles of the wine, and let’s drink.” Jili said to the waiter.

Zhan, Jiyang and Jili took up the bottles and cheered together.

“I heard that you had a blind date before.” Jiyang asked Jili playfully, “Who was the girl? I heard that she was the daughter of the Celine family.”

“Is it Celine Praveeni?” Zhan heard that Celine was very excellent so she could match Jili, “I think she can meet your high requirements.”

Jili drank the wine and then answered, “No.”

“What family was she from?” Jiyang asked again, because he was more curious about it.

“The Shan family.” Jili said indifferently.

“It is said that his first wife gave birth to twins, and their daughter was stolen by others at that time. But they find her now.” Jili stood and looked forwards.

“I think the Nei family is so powerful. After your grandpa told in public that he wanted to help you find a girl to get married, everyone has tried their best to introduce their daughters to you. I think you are so lucky.” Jiyang laughed loudly.

“It is not clear whether the girl found by the Shan family was given birth by his first wife or was given by another woman with Mr. Shan, I don’t want to be cheated by them.” Jili said with sarcasm.

“The most important thing is which one do you like?” Zhan asked him.

“In my opinion, he must like the girl of the Celine family, because he really has high requirements and a good taste.” Jiyang said.

“I won’t fall in love with a girl easily.” Jili said, “Moreover, I am just 27 years old and I don’t want to get married at all. I want to enjoy my life because I am so young.”

“…”

Zhan and Jiyang glanced at him and said, “You can’t decide whether to get married, because your grandpa will make a decision for you. Tell me which one does your grandpa like?”

Jili frowned and then answered, “No matter which one he likes, it depends on me.”

“I think it must be because your grandpa thought that the girl of the Shan family could give birth to sons, so he would promise to ask you to have a blind date with her.” Zhan said, “So I think he will ask you to marry her.”

“But I think it is more possible that he will ask Jili to marry the girl of the Celine family, because their daughter has been educated well. On the contrary, the girl of the Shan family didn’t grow up in the Shan family, so she may be worse than the girl of the Celine family. In every aspect.”

Jiyang expressed his own opinion, “Unless…” he didn’t continue on purpose.

“What do you want to say?” Zhan asked him.

And Jili also looked at Jiyang and waited for his answer.

Jiyang smiled mysteriously, “Unless Jili fell in love with her at first sight and regarded her as the one.”

Jili spit out a sip of wine very inelegantly.

Fortunately, they sat in the VIP area on the second floor, so there were not so many people paying attention to them.

Jiyang and Zhan were too late to escape, and some wine stains were sprayed on their bodies.

“Jili, please pay attention to your own image.” Jiyang took a few pieces of tissue to wipe the wine stains on his arms.

“I swear I won’t fall in love with her.” Jili wiped his lips with a piece of tissue.

“It means that you don’t like her, right?” Jiyang turned to Zhan who was sitting beside him and said, “Zhan, I think I guess it is right. He likes Praveeni.”

“Well, you won.” And then Zhan took up a bottle of wine and said, “I’ll drink.”

Zhan closed his eyes and then drank the wine.

And Jili said after cleaning himself, “I indeed choose Praveeni, but my grandpa likes Shan Nessa, So…”

Zhan threw a pillow to hit Jili and said, “Jili, why didn’t you tell us just now?”

If so, either Jiyang or him won. So he shouldn’t have drunk the wine just now.

“So what happened?” Jiyang was anxious, “Did your grandpa ask you to marry both Praveeni and Nessa so that you can have two wives just like Mr. Shan?”

Jili glanced at Jiyang and put down the pillow he got from Zhan.

“But I think it feels good, because you can have two wives, and they can give birth to many children for you.” Jiyang laughed at him.

“What are you talking about? Who dares to do like this?” Jili didn’t agree with him, “Even if a man can have more wives, I won’t do that.”

“Since you have such a good gene, it’s really a pity not to have more children.” Jiyang liked to argue with Jili.

“Then why don’t you have many children with Haoxuan?” Jili asked him.

“As you can see, I don’t love him, so I won’t give birth to a child with him.” Jiyang shrugged his shoulders lightly.

“I don’t love them, either.” Jili stared at Jiyang and then suddenly laughed, “Jiyang, since you don’t love Haoxuan, you can divorce. Actually, I like a boy like you. If you didn’t get married when I was abroad, I would have gone back and married you, and then he had no chance to marry you.”

“Even though you won’t mind if I divorce, your grandpa will be angry.” Jiyang supported his chin with his hands and said.

“Forget it. I don’t want to hurt you.” Jiyang shook the wine bottle in his hand and said, “And I have been getting along well with him these years. He did what he promised me when we got married. Besides, I won’t fall in love with other people if I get married.”

Jili and Zhan cheered and then drank,

“What do you guys mean?” Jiyang said with dissatisfaction, “Let’s drink together.”

“Zhan, drink with me.” Jiyang opened a new bottle of beet and then handed it to Zhan.

Next, they drank together again.

There were more and more empty bottles on the desk, Jiyang said to him kindly, “Jili, what should you do?”

“I have no choice but to choose one.” Jili said indifferently and he seemed not to worry about his own marriage.

“Jili, as your best friend, I hope you can marry a girl that you really love, otherwise, it makes no sense to get married. And you will be happy only after you marry the one you love.” Zhan told him, because it was a pity for him and he couldn’t do it once again.

“Happy? Do you think we are happy?” Jili felt that it was ridiculous, “I don’t want to talk about it. I just want to have fun and enjoy my life. You don’t need to worry about me, because I know what to do.”

And then he stood up and walked to the handrail, with one bottle of wine in his one hand and the other hand in his trouser pocket. He shook his body with the music while looking at those people who were dancing.

He looked around and then looked at the bar counter. He was not far away from the bar, which was on his left, and the bar was the brightest area.

He saw a man sitting on a high stool and drinking alone. He felt that the man looked familiar.

At this time, a beautiful woman in low-cut clothes was walking towards him and it seemed that she wanted to seduce him.

Jili smiled and then said to Jiyang and Zhan, “Do you know who I see?”

“Who? A pretty girl?” Jiyang laughed.

“A man. And we are familiar with him.” Jili looked at Zhan and said, “And we got along well with him before…”

“Darren?” Jiyang said.

Zhan also knew that he was Darren, but he didn’t want to answer. He took up a bottle of wine and then drank.

“Why doesn’t he stay at home with his wife while drinking alone here? He seldom came to places like a bar.” Jiyang thought that there was something wrong with him.

“I would like to invite him to drink with us.” Jili said.

“Jili, why do you want to do that?” Zhan was a bit angry with a wine bottle in his hands, “I’ll go if he comes here.”

“I want to take revenge on him because he hurt you like that before. I will make him drunk tonight.” Jili told him.

“I don’t want to see him.” Zhan took up a bottle of wine and drank quickly, so he choked.

“Then I would like to go downstairs and drink with him.” And then Jili left.

“Don’t think too much.” Jiyang patted Zhan’s back gently, “Jili just wanted to help you. Don’t blame him.”

“I don’t want to blame him, I just don’t know how to deal with it if I see him.” Zhan tried not to cry and then drank the wine again.

Jiyang thought that there was something wrong with him, “What’s wrong with you?”

“Lingjiao told everyone that I gave birth to Fei to save him.” Zhan told Jiyang what had happened yesterday.

Jiyang was shocked and said, “So Mr. Yibo has been angry after he knew about it, right?”

“He said he wouldn’t be angry. But I could feel that he was angry.” Zhan said.

“He didn’t tell you what he thought exactly,” Jiyang sighed, “if it were me, I would be sad, too. After all, you gave birth to a child to help your ex-boyfriend. It meant that you really loved him, so you would be so brave to save him. I don’t think he was angry. I think he was jealous.”

Zhan felt it was unbelievable and surprised, and then he frowned and thought about it again. He couldn’t believe that Yibo was jealous.

Zhan suddenly realized that after Jiyang told him.

“Jiyang, was he really jealous?” Zhan couldn’t believe it.

“If he wasn’t, why would he behave like that?” Jiyang said with a smile, “I think he really cares about you.”

“I don’t like Darren at all. Why is he jealous?” Zhan thought it was a bit strange, “I won’t love Darren since he hurt me like that before. Why doesn’t he understand?”

“Does he know that you don’t love Darren anymore? Have you told him you love him clearly?” Jiyang asked him.

Zhan thought about it and then said, “It seems that I never told him.”

“So he can’t make sure whether you love him or Darren because you never told him about it.” Jiyang touched his heart and said, “And, you told him that you didn’t love him with all of your passion. You really hurt him this way.”

“He interrupted me before I finished speaking at that time. I indeed said that I didn’t love him with all of my passion at the time. But it was because he was so excellent, and I wasn’t confident, so I was afraid of being hurt if I loved him with all of my passion…” Zhan bit his lip.

Zhan was afraid that he would be hurt again, so he dared not to love him with all of his passion. After all, he couldn’t bear emotional hurt again.

“Once bitten and twice shy.” Jiyang held his shoulders gently and said with love, “I can understand you, However, Mr. Yibo is a possessive man. And you are his wife, so he hopes that you can belong to him. I don’t think he was wrong.”

“Zhan, you need to communicate more with him. And you need to tell him how you think clearly, so that he can know that you love him.” Jiyang looked at him and said, “As a wife, we need a sense of security, so does a husband. And I think you should do more for Mr. Yibo.”

“He is so excellent. Why does he also lack a sense of security?” Zhan didn’t understand.

“No matter how excellent he is, when he falls in love with someone, he will lack a sense of security. It means that he really cares about you and loves you so much.” Jiyang told him.

Zhan was surprised, but he still felt it was unbelievable.

Although Zhan knew that Yibo was nice to him, liked him and tried his best to protect him, he dared not to believe that he will be jealous.

“As he is noble, he won’t be jealous of anyone easily. Therefore, if he is jealous because of you, he must love you so much. Trust me, Zhan.” Jiyang patted his shoulders lightly and encouraged him, “After he comes back, you should talk with him and tell him what you think.”

Zhan nodded with agreement, and then Jiyang took up a bottle of wine and said to him “Come on, let’s get drunk.”

“But I will be more upset after waking up.” Although Zhan said that, he drank together with Jiyang.

Zhan had to go to work the next day, so he intended to go back home after he checked the time.

Jiyang left together with him. When they went downstairs, they met Jili, who was intending to go upstairs.

“What are you doing?” Jili looked up to them and asked, with a wine bottle in his hand.

“I have to go back home because I have to go work tomorrow.”

Jiyang followed him. Zhan would go back to his home tonight, so he should go back home together with him.

“No one stays together with me if you leave.” Jili saw them walking away. He finished drinking the wine in his hand, and then put the bottle down. Finally, he felt bored, so he had to leave.

Jili followed them and went out of the bar. There was a parking lot in front of the entrance of the bar.

When they walked towards the car of Jili, they saw a man vomiting by bending down while holding his car with one hand.

“Darren?” Although it was dark, Jiyang recognized him at first sight.

And then he said to him with sarcasm, “Mr. Darren, why don’t you stay at home with your wife while getting drunk here?”

When Darren heard his voice, he wiped his mouth with his hands and then stood up and turned to them.

He looked at Zhan and found that Zhan looked indifferent and didn’t care about him at all.

Darren frowned and he looked complicated in his eyes, but he turned back and left without saying anything.

Although he was drunk and he couldn’t walk steadily, he tried his best to walk away.

“Did you make him drunk like that?” Jiyang glanced at Jili and asked, “How much wine did he drink?”

“I just helped him because he wanted to be drunk, I don’t remember how much wine he drank.” Jili didn’t ask him to drink too much. On the contrary, Darren asked him to drink all the time.

“Let’s go.” Zhan turned back.

When they got in the car, the driver drove the car away from the bar.

Darren got in his car and watched them leave. He touched his forehead because he had a headache. And then he said to his driver, “Let’s go home.”

And then the driver drove him home.
