Tan Si knew that this matter had to be explained before it could pass. She quickly told Zhao Yan what had happened and said pitifully, “I only did this because I wanted to win you back.”
Towards the end, Tan Si almost fainted from crying. “That medicine was used in Ma City previously. I thought that it would only cause a fever. I was too afraid that you would abandon me. Moreover, I had taken that medicine myself. I really didn’t expect this to happen.”
When Jiang An heard these words from the secret guard, he asked, “What did Zhao Yan say?”
The secret guard lowered his head and replied, “Zhao Yan said that there won’t be a next time.”
“He actually let it go so easily. Tan Nian was poisoned by his biological mother. I don’t know if there will be any aftereffects now, but Zhao Yan actually didn’t do anything.” Jiang An really couldn’t understand.
Zou Bai wasn’t surprised by his words. From what he knew, Zhao Yan was such a person.
Jiang An had already placed Zhao Yan and Tan Si on the same level because the two of them were people who did not care about their children.
“Tan Si is a heartless person to give an aphrodisiac to a child,” Zou Bai said. “He’s really compatible with Zhao Yan.”
Jiang An didn’t care about what happened between the two of them. She just felt that Tan Nian was too pitiful.
“They put all their attention on that unborn child. Don’t they care about Tan Nian at all?”
The secret guard repeated their conversation to Jiang An, including the subsequent discussion about this child.
Just because Tan Nian was not their ideal child, they transferred all their hopes to the child in their stomach. They did not care about Tan Nian, who was still lying in the hospital bed.
If you choose to give up because a child is not what you like, you should not have had a child in the first place.
Children had their own lives after they were born. Parents could help them guide them, but they could not force them to do anything.
Unfortunately, many parents could not understand this. They thought that they had rights over their children and did not respect their children’s choices.
Zou Bai knew that Jiang An would always be soft-hearted towards children. After the secret guards left, he pulled her into his arms and comforted her. “Tan Nian looks very similar to Zhao Yan’s biological father. This is very important to Zhao Yan. He won’t give up on Tan Nian completely.”
“But I remember that Zhao Yan’s father didn’t have a good relationship with him. When he was young, he caused many strange things. Now that he’s old, he still doesn’t want to return home.” Jiang An couldn’t understand.
Zou Bai changed the way he held Jiang An and let her sit on his lap. “Zhao Yan’s mother, Luo Xuan, loves his father deeply. No one understands why she loves him so deeply. Zhao Yan’s father clearly doesn’t have any feelings for her.”
“Luo Xuan’s love has reached a crazy level. She even tried to lock Zhao Yan’s father at home, but she didn’t succeed. Instead, she pushed him further and further away. If she sees Tan Nian, she will definitely love him very much. In order to obtain the Luo family’s support, Zhao Yan will also treat Tan Nian well.”
Hearing this, Jiang An finally felt a little comforted. They couldn’t count on Tan Nian’s parents anymore. If he could get the love of his elders, it would be a good thing for Tan Nian.
No matter how much Jiang An doted on this child, there was nothing she could do.
Zou Bai smiled and said, “It’s fine if we just listen to what’s happening. No matter how bad Tan Nian’s life is, he’s still a child of the Zhao family. He’ll always have a stable life.”
Jiang An smiled and nodded. She really shouldn’t keep thinking about this.
She wanted to get up and make the bed, but Zou Bai pulled her back.
Zou Bai looked at her in confusion and said, “I have something to tell you.”
Jiang An’s tone was gentle. “What is it?”
“Have you heard of Chen Xiang?” Zou Bai asked.
Jiang An nodded. “I remember that there was such a female celebrity in the entertainment industry, but she went overseas after acting in a few works. In the past few years, she was quite famous overseas and was praised by the country as the star of Chinese female celebrities.”
When Chen Xiang was mentioned, Jiang An’s tone was filled with admiration. In her opinion, Chen Xiang had the guts to venture into the foreign entertainment industry alone and even win an award through her own hard work. She was a very courageous person.
Zou Bai stared at Jiang An in his arms. “When she was still in the country, everyone thought that our relationship wasn’t ordinary. Some people were even speculating if we would get married.”
Jiang An was stunned after hearing that. However, she was not angry. Instead, she asked very calmly, “I don’t want to know what outsiders think. I only want to ask you what you think..”
