Stealing Your Heart

Zong Jinghao, who had been silent all the while, finally opened his mouth.

Wen Qing turned to him. “What do you mean?”

Looking and sounding indifferent, he said, “I just wanted to know.”

“Come to think of it, I probably have to go to the Chen family today. I was the one who suggested having Chen Shihan marry you in the first place, and I haven’t told him about this decision yet. They are not going to be very happy about it this time.”

Chen Qing worked hard and had presented his daughter, but in the end, Wen Qing didn’t manage to fulfill his promise to his old friend.

“So what you’re saying is that this was Chen Qing’s idea?” Even though it was a question, Zong Jinghao already had the answer in his heart.

“Yes, I was so desperate to break you and Lin Xinyan up and he came up with this plan. Chen Qing told me that He Ruize had gone in because of Lin Xinyan. The He family hated Lin Xinyan as well so they were willing to help me.” Wen Qing said bluntly.

Zong Jinghao was not surprised by that answer. “I think there are still a lot of things that he hasn’t told you.”

“What do you mean?” Wen Qing raised his voice.

He had always trusted Chen Qing. For him to suddenly found out that Chen Qing had something to hide from him, he could not help but raise his voice.

“A few days ago, someone tried to abduct Lin Xinyan. They were very aggressive and brought quite a few people to break into the hospital…”

“What?” Realization soon dawned upon Wen Qing. “Do you mean that it was all Chen Qing’s doing?”

“Not him personally as he was using the He family. Their daughter had died in jail and he was the mastermind. I have investigated everything thoroughly. I would not have said all these to you if I didn’t have proof.” Zong Jinghao told him all these just to let him know that he was not the only reason why Chen Qing had presented his own daughter and that Chen Qing also probably had his own ulterior motives.

That being said, Zong Jinghao could not figure out what motive Chen Qing had. Based on his relationship with Wen Qing, he wouldn’t have needed to set up an arranged marriage, no?

So why would he want to marry off his daughter to me?

What was he trying to do?

What was his objective?

There are still so many questions left unanswered, and it seems like Chen Qing is definitely craftier than Wen Qing.

“Is it because he saw that I was ill and was worried that I would go back on my word, hence he did all these behind my back?” At that very moment, Wen Qing could not ascertain why would Chen Qing did what he did as well.
