Chapter 199 I Can’t Understand It
When Silvia arrived at the venue, she found that it was a relatively high-class private club.
Obviously, it had been pre-booked. After giving her name, someone led her upstairs.
It was not a private room. The whole second floor was empty. The panoramic view from the restaurant’s window was unique and romantic. There were violinists playing soft and melodious music, which was very relaxing.
“Silvia…” Lisa called out her name and waved her hand.
In fact, even if she didn’t call, she could see her. After all, in addition to the waiter, she was the only
one on the whole floor.
“Lisa!” Silvia walked over and hugged her. As she released her hand, Lisa explained to her with a smile, “Mr. Lin has something to do and will be a little late. He sends his apologies.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Silvia smiled. “Actually, you don’t have to be so polite. In fact, he has already thanked me that day.”
“You’re welcome. That’s what I should do.” Lisa shook her head. “You don’t know Lin Shangyan’s
status in the American circle at all. You saved his son. If he doesn’t show his gratitude to you, it will
be a shame if word gets out.”
“…” Sometimes, it was really hard to explain the matter of “face”.
“By the way, is the child all right?” Although she was more or less sure, she wanted to be assured.
Lisa nodded. “It’s all thanks to you. I panicked at that time because I didn’t know what happened to Nannan. I was scared to death, Fortunately, you’re there! Otherwise, if anything happened, Lin Shangyan would definitely hate me to death.”
“What does it have to do with you?” Silvia took a sip of lemon water and said in confusion, “Did you order the food that caused the allergy?”
However, Lisa shook her head. “No, the food was all ordered by Helen.”
“Do you mean the mother of the child?” Thinking of the woman that day, she guessed that the couple should not have a good relationship, but after all, it was someone else’s family affair, so she
did not want to probe further.
“Um.” She sighed. Perhaps because she had nothing to do right now, Lisa began to gossip. “Actually, Helen wants to use the child to mend their relationship; I understand as well. I originally thought that it would be good if that really happenis, but now, it seems that I was wrong. Speaking of that, I am truly sorry about what happened the other day, for the way Helen treated you.”
Silvia didn’t take it to heart. After all, it was over.
“It has nothing to do with you. However, I understand as well. Due to her mistake, the child almost had an accident. If she can’t find a scapegoat, then it will be more difficult for her to get what she wants. In addition, it is also because she cares about the child, and her worry made her behave irrationally,” she shrugged her shoulders. She could understand why Helen did that, but she couldn’t forgive her for doing so.
She was afraid that her husband would scold her, so she quickly shifted the blame to someone who
was innocent. It was too unethical.
“No, you don’t understand. In fact, she doesn’t care about her child. She only cares about herself.
I’ve seen it clearly.”
“Huh?”
Lisa’s expression was a little indignant. “If she really cared about her child, she should know about
his food allergies. When something happened to Nannan, the first thing she was worried about was not his condition, but how Lin Shangyan would despise her because of it. She would completely lose all contact with Lin Shangyan. In her heart, she does not care about the child at all.”
After that incident, Lisa then saw Helen’s true colors. She no longer sympathized with her unlike in the past, and she also cut off contact with her.
“Maybe it slipped her mind a while, or maybe she doesn’t know much about children. In my opinion, they seem to have a very bad relationship, or maybe… they are divorced?” Silvia didn’t want to gossip about this, but as she spoke, she stopped.
However, Lisa shook her head and smirked. “They are not married. How could they get a divorce?”
“Ah…” Silvia subconsciously responded in surprise. “Is it true that foreign countries are so open? They are not married, but their child is already so old?”
“Actually, Nannan was part of a plan conceived by Helen.” Lisa sighed and said quietly.
She looked out of the window as if she was lost in her memories. In fact, she knew her story because she treated Helen as a friend back then, and she even felt a bit of sympathy for her.
“A plan? The child isn’t hers?”
“No, it’s hers! Helen has always liked Lin Shangyan. She loved him so much and she swore that she
would marry him. However, Lin Shangyan didn’t care about her at all. Later on, Helen used some tricks to get pregnant and give birth to a child. She thought that after having a child, Lin Shangyan would definitely marry her. She didn’t expect that Lin Shangyan didn’t want this child at all.”
“Helen refused to abort the child and insisted on going ahead with the pregnancy. Later on, she brouphther child to Lin Shangyan and becked for his help. Iin the end, the child was left behind. Lin
Shangyan gave her some liolipy, but he still refused to marry her. That was what happened. After a
few years, Nannan also grew up. Helen wanted to establish a relationship with the child in order to
get close to Lin Shangyan’s heart.”
Lisa stopped and drank half a glass of water. She was probably a little thirsty. “I don’t think she had an easy life. She loves someone so much, so I thought it would be good if they reconciled. After all, children also need a complete family. But I didn’t expect her character to be so bad. After that day in the hospital, I think I understand a little why Lin Shangyan refused to accept her for so many
years.”
“….” Silvia was silent and did not know what to say.
She came for a meal and even listened to this dramatic tale. However, after all this, she could understand why Helen was not aware of her child’s allergies.
Not only did she not raise the child, but she hardly paid any attention to the child at all. Furthermore, she wanted to use the child to build her relationship with a man, a man who did not love her. What kind of extreme idea was this?
She could not understand it at all!
The two of them chatted for a while amid the quiet surroundings. There was hardly a soul there.
IN
But it was not a very remote place. Although it was not at the center of the city, it was located in the downtown area. Looking at the dense crowd below, she asked, “Isn’t it lunchtime yet? Isn’t… business good here? Why is there no one else except us?”
Lisa laughed out loud. “Lin Shangyan invited us for a meal. How could he treat us to a place where the business is not good? The business here is good, but… it’s been booked today!”
“He reserved the whole place?”
“That’s right and it’s because he wanted to thank you! You should know by now that when I said Lin Shangyan is very powerful, shouldn’t that be true?”
“This is a little… too expensive!”
“The crux of the matter is that it’s just a meal. Why did he have to book such a grand restaurant?”
“To Lin Shangyan, this is just a drop in the bucket. This expense is nothing to him!” Lisa paused and said, “What’s more, you saved his son’s life!”
“That’s right.” As soon as she finished speaking, someone answered.
