Zhao Wuyan's medicine also wore off, and she returned to normal. It was, of course, Tang Si who had done it.
Therefore, no matter how much Tang Si denied it, Madam Tang firmly believed that Zhao Wuyan's child in her womb was his.
Tang Si sat in the lounge chair, looking at his mother with surprise. After a few seconds of eye contact, he sneered, "Zhao Wuyan is your real child, isn't she?"
His own mother didn't believe him but was willing to believe an outsider. It was laughable.
"I'm your mother, I know your character inside out."
Madam Tang poked Tang Si's temple, "Even if you took off your pants, I'd know what kind of shit you're shitting!"
His mother's confident words made Tang Si's heart ache with anger.
He furrowed his brows, his hands resting on the armrests clenching slightly. Anger surged in his heart, "Get out!"
If the person standing before him wasn't his mother, Tang Si would have already thrown a punch.
"You..."
Madam Tang pointed at his face and was about to erupt in fury. But thinking of the grandchild Zhao Wuyan carried in her belly, her mood instantly lifted. She waved her hand, "Fine, I can't be bothered to argue with you. I'll tell your father about this. You should prepare the wedding with her soon and not let the girl down."
"When you abandoned medicine for business, I thought you truly liked it. Who knew you'd become so idle? Now that you have a child, once you marry Wuyan, you can finally settle down..."
Listening to his mother's nagging, Tang Si leaned back in the lounge chair, one hand on the armrest, the other covering his chest. He didn't even want to argue with her anymore.
Tang Si wasn't sure whose child Zhao Wuyan was carrying, but he was certain it wasn't his.
At this moment, Tang Si was dispirited, as if he had suffered a huge blow, his heart heavy and unsettled.
Thinking of Shi Ran's betrayal and Zhao Wuyan's clumsy tactics, he suddenly felt his life was like a joke.
Madam Tang stood by and said more, but receiving no response from Tang Si for a long time, she turned to leave. As she left, she muttered, "I'll go discuss the wedding with your father."
As the sound of the room door closing echoed, it was as if the entire world fell silent.
Tang Si leaned in the lounge chair and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he picked up his phone and looked at Shi Ran's contact in his address book, which was saved as 'Ran Bao'er'.
Looking at the saved name now, it felt utterly ridiculous.
Just as he was staring blankly at the phone number, his thumb accidentally touched the screen, and he dialed Shi Ran's number.
Leaning back in the chair, gazing at the drifting clouds, Tang Si didn't notice until the prompt sounded, "Hello, the user you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later..."
Tang Si raised his phone and only then realized he had called Shi Ran.
"That damn woman! She blacklisted me after throwing herself at another man?" Tang Si grumbled with a dark expression, but unwillingly, he dialed Shi Ran's number again.
"Hello, the user you have dialed is switched off..."
The mechanical voice from the other end reached Tang Si's ears, igniting his rage.
People have a rebellious streak.
The more Tang Si couldn't reach Shi Ran, the more he wanted to contact her.
After several failed attempts, he called his subordinate, "Find out about Shi Ran immediately."
Half an hour later, Tang Si's phone rang. It was his subordinate. Upon answering, the subordinate said, "Mr. Tang, Shi Ran left Lan City days ago."
"What? Left?"
Tang Si was shocked, sitting up straight from the lounge chair. He asked in disbelief, "Did she leave alone?"
