Unscathed?

"W-where would you like me to start?" Chong Wei stuttered.

His heart palpitated hard in his ears sending his senses into disarray. He felt his whole body quiver under Kang Jun's icy gaze.

Kang Jun frowned. "AnLing. Beginning."

With those two words, Chong Wei nodded erratically. "She... she was...well... she was pregnant with your child but she didn't know it was your child. It was a one night stand, and she didn't seem too concerned about who the father was. This was good. This kept her safe but there was no way we could let her keep the children..."

"And Rong Yue Wan?"

Ching Wei shook his head. "I didn't know why she was placed as a nurse. I wasn't informed about it."

Chong Wei checked Kang Jun's face. Seeing as it didn't change, the man knew that he wasn't satisfied.

Chong Wei: "She was supposed to be heavily compensated but her parents sent her abroad and the elders thought it was for the best..."

Kang Jun: "Even grandfather?"

"No... Kang Mei Xue's adoption was handled by—"

"My grandmother." Kang Jun sighed. He was beginning to connect dots but that didn't bring him closer to anything. More questions kept piling up in his head but he still didn't waste any time dwelling. "What happened to my other child? Why did she die?"

Looking away, Chong Wei sighed. "No one meant for this to happen. I wasn't in charge of the babies. I'm not a pediatrician or a gynecologist. I know nothing about children so I don't know..."

"Who took care of them?" Kang Jun said impatiently.

"A Doctor by the name of Zhao Qin."

"Zhao?" Kang Jun had heard this last name before but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Kang Jun mentally took note of the name and then he said, "After she was sent to the institution, why wasn't she compensated later?... Or allowed to see her children?"

Kang Jun's heart went out to his wife. He was so sad that she couldn't be with her children and that she suffered for it.

Seeing a strange emotion Chong Wei has never imagined seeing on Kang Jun's face. Chong Wei's whole body froze.

Kang Jun was in love with Lu AnLing...

Seeing as Chong Wei wasn't answering him, Kang Jun frowned and said, "Was it because of her background?"

Chong Wei shook his head. "No...The problem is that she was supposed to be dead. Lu AnLing was said to have killed herself a few months after childbirth."

Hearing this Kang Jun frowned hard.

What was going on?

He was beginning to wonder what kind of conspiracy that they were involved in...

Though no matter what was happening, Kang Jun needed to take all types of precaution to protect those he loved.

***

As Kang Jun thought about this, the reunion had become a game of murder mystery except that instead of finding out a murderer everyone was trying to find out what the hell was going on.

Seeing what was happening, Yang Yize walked up to Xiao Mian and stopped right beside Lu AnLing and Lu Shuya. Looking at Xiao Mian's tear-stained face he felt his heartbreak.

He wanted to lie and throw Lu AnLing under a bus but looking back at Lu AnLing he couldn't do that either. All he could do was own up to what he had done.

Looking at Xiao Mian, whose eyes begged him to tell her that whatever was being said wasn't true, Yang Yize's throat became intensely dry.

"Mian... it's true. Everything. " Yang Yize reached for Xiao Mian's hand and held it tightly. "I dated Lu AnLing in the past..."

A weird chill passed down Lu AnLing's spine. She didn't know why but she felt that something bad was about to happen but lucky for her before anyone else could speak, Feng Ziyi looked at Lu AnLing, then to Yang Yize and then back to Lu AnLing again and said,

"Seriously?" He scoffed and then sneered. "Yize, you're way too good for her."

Hearing this Lu AnLing rolled her eyes but Sheng got annoyed, "Feng Ziyi, What the hell is your problem? Don't you have eyes and ears? Obviously, she's too good for him!"

Sheng knew how much pain Lu AnLing had been in in the past and he knew how much Yang Yize had hurt her. A real man wouldn't cheat on his girl. Ever.

Feng Ziyi did not know this, but even if he did, he didn't particularly like Lu AnLing. She was always so strange to him...

Taking offense to Sheng's words, Feng Ziyi frowned and said, "Of course you'd protect her. She's obviously ridding you like a horse."

Sheng laughed. "Don't be an idiot. She's my best friend. But if I was to be 'ridden like a horse' it wouldn't be hard for me to find someone who would love to do it with me. But I guess it isn't the same with you... I pity you. But hey, if you want to know how it feels like, I'm glad to help you find someone who would lower their standards. It'll be quite hard but, who knows. Some people are desperate."

Many people in the room put their hands on their mouths to stop themselves from bursting out in laughter. Even Wang Tingting and Kang Liang who were in no mood for jokes found Sheng's words hilarious.

Rong Xin who stood by his side looked at the fragile looking man and smiled slightly. It seemed like his mistress had a very good friend. Rong Xin's body relaxed a bit.

But then suddenly, Feng Ziyi tightened his fists.

"Let's see if the girls still like you with a black eye and broken nose!" The man screamed.

Feng Ziyi ran towards Sheng about to punch him in the face but just as he was about to hit, Rong Xin grabbed the man's hand. It only took a second to pin the man to the ground.

Without needing to, Rong Xin applied pressure to Feng Ziyi's back.

Seeing this, The room was silent but then, suddenly, Lu AnLing laughed out loud.

"Feng Ziyi, do you think you can talk to Sheng like that a get out unscathed?"

Lu AnLing had completely forgotten that he had insulted her. It wasn't important to her because she was used to being slandered by the likes of Feng Ziyi but Sheng was different. He was her best friend and if Rong Xin hadn't stepped in and Sheng has gotten one touch, Lu AnLing would have beat Feng Ziyi so hard, his mother would have felt it.

Hearing this, Feng Ziyi looked up to her with a frown. Seeing him do this, Rong Xin tightened his grip causing Feng Ziyi to scream.

Right now, no matter what Rong Xin did to Feng Ziyi, Lu AnLing would not stop him and Rong Xin enjoyed this. It had been way too long since he was able to do something fun.

Rong Xin looked at Lu AnLing for orders and she saw this clearly.

Seeing the connection between Lu AnLing and Rong Xin, Zhao Fei scoffed.

"You really are a dick tamer aren't you?" Zhao Fei said with a voice full of annoyance.

Hearing this, Yang Yize frowned and screamed. "Don't say that. You have no right!"
