Mo Yixuan’s eyes narrowed in displeasure and his lips curved in the perfect angle to show off his derisive smirk.
“Answer my question and I’ll give you another $50,000,” he said coldly.
He had already seen through this man’s intentions and knew that he was all about the money. This man would do anything and tell him anything he wanted to know as long as he threw enough money at him.
As expected, Wang Zhi relaxed the moment he heard that he could earn another $50,000. He could only see the dollar signs swimming in front of his eyes and no longer cared about his secrets being revealed.
He paused for a moment before he said, “Chen Yan was brought over by Brother Hui to Mang Village in March 2022 to be sold and Chen Jiahang bought her for $50,000. This was how she came to be Chen Jiahang’s wife.”
Wang Zhi explained the series of events calmly. He then suddenly saw the rich man beside him slam his fist hard against the steering wheel and the veins that popped out of his neck made him look very scary.
“Mr. Mo…” Wang Zhi exclaimed in surprise. He wondered whether he should continue to tell his tale because the car seemed to be swaying, as though it was about to fall over into the fields.
Mo Yixuan stepped on the brakes and stopped the car along the roadside.
His eyes blazed with anger and he looked so angry that it was as though he wanted to kill somebody.
“Go on, why didn’t she run away then?” he said angrily.
Wang Zhi shuddered in fear. This rich man looked like such a gentleman, so he didn’t expect him to look so terrifying when he flew into a rage.
He shook his head and said, “Chen Yan was already injured when she arrived at Mang Village and she was wrapped in thick bandages. I remember that she was a pretty little thing and I wanted to buy her myself but unfortunately, my mom refused to let me buy her since according to her, she seemed unhealthy.”
Wang Zhi couldn’t help but sigh. If he had bought Chen Yan, with her aptitude and talent, they would have already moved to the city a long time ago.
Wang Zhi was very unhappy about this. He felt that his luck was very bad and that Chen Jiahang was blessed by lady luck.
Mo Yixuan suddenly turned around and glared daggers at Wang Zhi.
He looked as though he wanted to skin him alive.
The fact that this ugly man had even thought of buying his Yan Yan made him feel like killing him.
Wang Zhi immediately shrank back in fear.
What did he say earlier that made this rich man so angry?
Mo Yixuan scoffed coldly and asked, “Why didn’t she run away then?”
Mo Yixuan found Wang Zhi’s words difficult to believe. He had seen how Yan Yan reacted earlier – she seemed to care for the mute and didn’t seem to find him repulsive at all. She would have returned to Ye City a long time ago if she intended to run away.
“I think she has amnesia,” Wang Zhi said.
“What?” Mo Yixuan’s eyes filled with surprise.
Wang Zhi continued, “That’s what I heard from the other villagers. In any case, she had a head injury when Brother Hui and the others brought her to Mang Village and later, I heard that she had amnesia. She doesn’t know where she lives, so she ended up living together with the dim-witted Chen Jiahang.”
Wang Zhi was still upset about the fact that he missed out on Chen Yan and resented his mother for forbidding that match.
“This must be the reason why,” Mo Yixuan said with a sigh.
He felt like hot boiling waves of water were washing over his heart that could not be stilled.
No wonder Yan Yan had looked at him so strangely earlier, as though she did not recognize him. It all made sense now that he knew she had amnesia.
That was true too. Yan Yan would have never chosen to live in such a place with a disabled man unless she had lost her memories. It was even more unlikely for her to not visit Yuan Yuan at all over the past three years.
