Unbridled, Depraved

Chapter 193 Rohmer

The afternoon sun shines through the old windows of Wenbo Ice House, sprinkling on the wooden tabletop, adding a bit of warmth to this retro space.

Xiao Chengzhou and Xie Jincheng were sitting in the back row, their conversation and laughter echoing in the quiet air, sounding particularly clear.

Wen Bo woke up from his nap and saw the two of them chatting so happily, so he joined the group chat.

The three people talked about topics ranging from investment economics to architectural design, and then from innovation in architectural design to interesting things about cultural relics collection.

The more they talked, the more excited they became, and Xiao Chengzhou became happier and happier, as if he had found a rare confidant.

It was not until Xu Shuqin called that Xiao Chengzhou stood up and said with a smile: "Uncle Wen, I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

Wen Bo nodded happily, "Okay, okay, come again next time when you have time!"

On the way to the hospital, Xiao Chengzhou suddenly remembered something.

He looked at Xie Jincheng beside him and asked, "Jincheng, has Nanyin looked for you before?"

Xie Jincheng nodded and answered truthfully: "Yes, in order to help Qianhe find her mother, my people conducted extensive investigations and eventually found a man named Que San in Dabao Village. That man bought Qianhe's mother from a human trafficker ten years ago."

"My people found the woman and brought her back to the capital, but the woman is not related to Qianzuru by blood."

"At first, I didn't understand why Qianhe's mother was replaced, until the last time, the fourth wife found me and said that she knew where Qianhe's mother was."

After hearing Xie Jincheng's answer, Xiao Chengzhou paused.

"Let's not rush up there. You can accompany me to the small garden in front."

"it is good."

The two walked side by side through the gate of the hospital's inpatient department and stepped into the quiet and elegant small garden.

The small garden is shaded by green trees and lush flowers and plants, adding a touch of tranquility and vitality to this busy medical area.

They walked slowly along the winding path, the cobblestones rustling slightly under their feet.

Xiao Chengzhou turned his head slightly and looked at Xie Jincheng, with a hint of inquiry in his tone: "With your ability, you probably have found out who that woman is, right?"

Xie Jincheng nodded, "She is the fourth wife's mother, Rohmer, right?"

"You're right."

Xiao Chengzhou continued to ask: "Besides wanting to take Rohmer away from you, did Nanyin ask you to do anything else?"

"She wanted me to help find someone."

"Find someone?"

Xiao Chengzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming a little surprised by this request.

"Correct."

Xie Jincheng responded, "The person she wants to find is her sister, Nanzhi."

After listening to Xie Jincheng's words, Xiao Chengzhou's expression gradually became solemn.

"It seems that after all these years, she still hasn't let it go."

Xie Jincheng was observing Xiao Chengzhou quietly from the side, and he couldn't help but wonder why Nan Yin asked him to help find someone.

He didn't understand why Nan Yin traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to ask him for help instead of going directly to Xiao Chengzhou, her nominal husband.

Judging from Nanyin's dress, she didn't look like someone who lived in poverty or lacked food and clothing, which showed that Xiao Chengzhou treated her well.

However, Nan Yin chose to ask him for help, which must be some unknown secret.

Xie Jincheng was immersed in his own thoughts, trying to sort out the complicated family disputes and the motives behind them.

Suddenly, Xiao Chengzhou's voice broke the silence.

"Although Nanyin is known as the Fourth Wife, I have always treated her as my own daughter."

"Back then, Rohmer owed a lot of gambling debts. In order to pay off the debts, she carefully planned and sent her daughter to my bed. What's more hateful is that she also poisoned the wine."

Xiao Chengzhou turned the ring on his thumb, and a rare coldness flashed in his eyes.

"She has a good plan. If I unfortunately die of poisoning, the Green Gang will surely collapse, and the person who instigated her to do this will also succeed."

"If it was Nanyin who died instead of me, she would have teamed up with the media to make a big deal about this and prevent my company from going public."

Xie Jincheng listened quietly to Xiao Chengzhou's story, and a chill rose in his heart.

He had not imagined that Rohmer would be so cruel and unscrupulous for the sake of money and profit, even willing to sacrifice his own flesh and blood to achieve his goals.

But after thinking about it, he figured it out.

After all, not all parents in this world love their children.

What's more, Rohmer is a gambler.

A gambler who is forced into a desperate situation will do anything for money.

"But what she didn't expect was that the person who went to that room that night was not me, but A-Mo's mother."

There was a hint of sadness in Xiao Chengzhou's voice, "In my life, I have let down two women. One was Shuqin, and the other was her."

His eyes gradually became profound, and all the things in the past, like an old movie that had been forgotten for a long time, began to slowly replay in his mind.

Xiao Mo is Xiao Chengzhou's eldest son, and his mother is Xiao Chengzhou's first wife.

The first wife was named Huilan, the daughter of a Green Gang elder. Because she was of similar age to Xiao Chengzhou, they were engaged by their parents since childhood.

Huilan is as her name suggests, she is kind, quiet and warm to others.

But Xiao Chengzhou was not satisfied with this arranged marriage. Soon after the marriage, he went abroad alone to study architecture.

This time, I was gone for eight years.

While studying for his doctorate, he met Xu Shuqin, who was an exchange student from China.

She is an exchange student from a well-known domestic university.

At that time, she was in her early twenties, lively and cute, cheerful and generous, and her appearance was outstanding. On the first day of school, she attracted Xiao Chengzhou's attention.

As a prominent figure in the school, Xiao Chengzhou is not only talented but also elegant, and is the secret crush of many girls.

The two added each other's contact information at an academic exchange meeting, fell in love with each other during their subsequent interactions, and got together not long after.

During the days they were together, the two were inseparable and enjoyed the sweetness and happiness of love.

A year later, Xu Shuqin became unexpectedly pregnant.

Xiao Chengzhou's first reaction to this matter was to abort the child, but Xu Shuqin was unwilling to do so.

Xu Shuqin grew up in a wealthy family and led a carefree life, so her thoughts were naive and simple.

She thought that since she was pregnant, she might as well give birth to the baby. She believed that they would take good care of the child.

Xiao Chengzhou couldn't persuade her, so he had to agree to let her give birth to the child.

Just like that, the two of them had Xiao Heng.

However, the happy days of the family of three did not last long.

During the days when Xiao Heng was one month old, Xu's father, who was far away in China, learned that his daughter was pregnant and gave birth to a child, and he was furious.

As a member of the old generation with conservative ideas, he could not accept that his daughter lived with a man, let alone that she had a child out of wedlock.

So he sent someone to kidnap his daughter and bring her back to the country overnight.

Xiao Chengzhou originally wanted to chase her back to China, but unfortunately things did not go as he wished.

Just as he was about to leave, his father, Lao Longtou, became critically ill.
