"I’ll think of a way." Sensing her mother’s unease, Lai Shengxia softened her voice, "Don’t overthink it. Since Tang Yin never told her back then, the chances of her figuring it out on her own aren’t high. What we need to do now is just to be cautious."
Hearing this, Ouyang Qian felt like she had found her mainstay, her brows relaxed, "You also be careful, don’t let her notice anything."
After the call ended, Lai Shengxia didn’t immediately return to her room.
She stood on the balcony with her arms folded.
years ago, Tang Yin somehow found out Lai Wenyan’s real name and the Lai Family’s landline phone number. At that time, Lai Wenyan was not at home; it was Ouyang Qian who answered the phone.
Ouyang Qian picked up the handset, her initial indifference turning into a pale complexion, because on the other end of the line was a woman with a soft voice claiming to be Lai Wenyan’s wife.
That year Lai Shengxia was 13 years old. Noticing Ouyang Qian’s abnormal behavior, she put down her pen and ran to her mother’s side.
Standing close, she overheard the conversation leaking from the phone.
The woman spoke with grace, "Are you still there?"
At that moment, Lai Shengxia, who was distracted, took the handset from Ouyang Qian’s hand and told the other party, "My mom has gone to the bathroom, you can just tell me if you need anything."
Then, the woman said her name was Tang Yin, Lai Wenyan’s wife, and that they were married in Diannan. She had always thought Lai Wenyan had died, but recently found out through twists and turns that her husband was still alive, and as soon as she got the contact, she made this call.
"Lai Wenyan is my uncle, but he passed away at the beginning of this month."
Even after many years, Lai Shengxia still remembered the words she told Tang Yin.
She lied to Tang Yin that Lai Wenyan died of lung cancer and then extracted Tang Yin’s address in Diannan. The next day, Ouyang Qian changed the family’s phone number and, without telling Lai Wenyan, took her on a trip to Diannan.
Perhaps it was the woman’s unwillingness to yield that made Ouyang Qian feel she had to meet this third party who had ruined her marriage.
She had to know what kind of woman could make Lai Wenyan lie about their divorce and remarry in Diannan, and even have a daughter with her!
At that time, Tang Yin was working at a hospital in a town in Diannan.
Tang Yin was a very gentle woman, different from Ouyang Qian, emanating a delicate and refined air from her bones. To this day, Lai Shengxia was still curious how the daughter of a drug trafficker could be , to the point that Ouyang Qian almost fell apart when she saw Tang Yin.
In a town hotel, Ouyang Qian hugged her and sobbed bitterly.
Later, she used some tricks to obtain the blood of a person with HIV.
She took a syringe filled with the blood to find Tang Yin. Adults aren’t usually on guard against children, and in the hospital, she sneaked into the infusion room. Upon seeing Tang Yin, she clutched her stomach and squatted down. Tang Yin was a nurse and quickly came over. When Tang Yin held her, she took out the needle hidden in her pocket and stuck it into Tang Yin’s arm!
Looking back now, Lai Shengxia had no regrets.
It was just that she felt she had been too foolish back then.
After Tang Yin got infected with HIV, and found out she was Lai Wenyan’s eldest daughter, and that Lai Wenyan already had a wife and daughter in the Capital, perhaps because she was young, or maybe out of consideration for Tang Li, Tang Yin ultimately did not pursue the matter any further, taking her daughter and disappearing without a trace.
It wasn’t until two years ago that Tang Li came to the Capital with Tang Yin’s ashes.
It was also at that time, Lai Wenyan revealed that he had married Tang Yin to infiltrate the drug traffickers.
If she had known the whole truth back then, there would have been no need for her to act against Tang Yin.
Because her father would never give up this family for Tang Yin.
On the contrary, it was Tang Yin and her daughter who were the stains he desperately wanted to erase from his life.
