Originally, everything was going smoothly. However, she hadn’t anticipated that because her pregnancy had progressed, it would lead to a severe uterine hemorrhage. She ultimately had to undergo a hysterectomy to save her life.
At that time, she believed that she had no hope of being with Lin Yi Chen.
But unexpectedly, when she woke up, she received news that Lin Yi Chen had divorced Jiang Wan Yu, and Jiang Wan Yu’s child had been forcibly delivered early and entrusted to her for upbringing.
After her miscarriage had healed, she quickly got engaged to Lin Yi Chen.
Now she realized that there was an undisclosed reason for her smooth engagement to Lin Yi Chen.
However, Xu Wen Jing soon became nervous and asked Xu Shi Chang and Lin Cui, “Mom, Dad, Lin Yi Chen wouldn’t happen to know about the black man, would he?”
If that were the case, he would undoubtedly be concerned.
Seeing Xu Wen Jing’s anxious expression, Lin Cui immediately reassured her, “Don’t worry. Yi Chen doesn’t know. If he did, how could he have agreed to this marriage so easily?”
Leaving aside the fact that Wen Jing had broken off the engagement during his low point and even considered marrying another man, the revelation that she was carrying another man’s child was something no normal man could accept.
Fortunately, Lin Haowei had kept his promise and erased all traces of the incident when they had the opportunity to let the Xu family go.
As a result, Lin Yi Chen didn’t know why Wen Jing had broken off their engagement in the first place or that her child was actually fathered by the black man.
Hearing Lin Cui’s words, Xu Wen Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
“That’s good.”
Given Lin Yi Chen’s personality, if he knew about her past actions, he definitely wouldn’t accept her.
Luckily, he didn’t know anything now.
She then turned to Xu Shi Chang and asked, “Dad, who is that influential person you mentioned?”
She hadn’t heard any rumors about this before.
Xu Shi Chang squinted his eyes upon hearing this and then pointed upwards.
Xu Wen Jing frowned slightly. “What does that mean?”
Lin Cui in a low voice said, “It’s a prominent figure in politics who has now been transferred to the capital.”
Xu Wen Jing was visibly surprised.
Since when has the Xu family been connected to such an influential person?
Xu Shi Chang nodded and explained, “Back when he was just an unknown figure, his wife fell seriously ill, and the Xu family helped cover her medical expenses, saving her life. In return, he made three promises to the Xu family.”
“So that’s it. But in these years, why haven’t I seen you interact with such a person?” Xu Wen Jing was puzzled.
“Otherwise, how do you think he managed to climb to his current position? So, this favor is used up once, and every time we use it, it’s one less opportunity. When this chance is used up… even if the Xu family faces a crisis in the future, he won’t help anymore.” Xu Shi Chang sighed lightly.
The only correct investment he had made over the years was providing financial assistance to that person considering his political acumen.
Unfortunately, the other party was not easy to get close to and refused to deepen ties with the Xu family. Otherwise, given his current status, he could have introduced someone from the circle to Wen Jing or Wen Hu, and they wouldn’t have needed to rely on the Lin family so much.
As they talked about this, both Xu Shi Chang and Lin Cui wore expressions of regret on their faces.
Who could have imagined that this person would rise so high in these years, even reaching the pinnacle of political power!
