Evil Husband, Glutton Wife: Buy Miss Piggy, Get Free Little Buns

Chapter 753 - Because I Was the One at Fault (1)

Zhang Jiren didn't bother to resume his nap once Tang Moyu left. He remained seated quietly next to the cot where Leyan was, making sure he would be able to tend to her while Li Meili slept. Li Meili's face still lacked the healthy color it usually had, making her husband wonder if she's really going to be fine.

It had been a long day for the three of them. He and Li Meili had been too exhausted since Leyan arrived. As the mother and child slept, Zhang Jiren took the chance to check his mail and delivered his instructions to his managers that were left overseeing the company while he was gone.

Once he was done, he dimmed the light inside the room, allowing Li Meili and Leyan to sleep in peace. While the two slept, he recalled what Tang Moyu told him earlier. How could he have overlooked Head Nurse Yu before?

Hadn't he spent several years and resources to make a thorough investigation on their birth mother? It was impossible for him not to know the closest person to Yan Qiuyu when she was still alive. He had investigated them all, and none of them was named Nurse Yu.

He tapped his fingers on the armrest of his chair while he rested his chin on his left hand. There's no way he would have missed her, which only meant that Feng Tianyi's assumptions that it was a trap weren't unfounded.

His eyes narrowed at the thought. To think that he and his twin sister almost fell into such an intricate trap only meant that they weren't just dealing with just a simple person. To think that person was able to dig so deep to know about their real mother and Tang Moyu's quest to find more about Yan Qiuyu was troubling.

Just as he was trying to think of the possible scenarios that could have happened, Zhang Jiren received a message from his brother-in-law. He glanced at Li Meili's sleeping face before standing up and stepping outside the room to give Feng Tianyi a call.

"Moyu and I decided to limit our interaction with Li Meili. This is to make sure that nothing would happen to her and Leyan. Would you be able to manage?" Feng Tianyi asked.

"Meili said that she would be staying at home for a month, so I don't think there's a problem with it," he replied, knowing full well why the couple decided to limit their interactions.

Zhang Jiren looked around him, wondering who else was being used against them.

"If there's anything else you want to tell us, can you at least reach us through Li Meili's number?"

"Alright. Is that all?" Zhang Jiren asked.

"No. I think we finally know the identity of the culprit." Feng Tianyi paused. "There's no doubt that he's after me and wants to hurt Moyu because of me."

"You know him? How?"

Now that they know the identity of the man, wouldn't this mean that it had gotten easier for them to deal with the problem? So long that they would be able to deal with the man, perhaps, he would stop bothering her sister's family.

"I don't personally know him," he heard Feng Tianyi admit. "To be honest, it was your sister who managed to recognize him from the footage we gathered after checking the head nurse's background."

"She did?" Zhang Jiren was surprised. Unlike him, he heard that his twin sister had excellent memory retention, as if she only needed to focus to pull out information she stored in her mind. He was also impressed at how fast Feng Tianyi managed to source the information he needed.

Even Feng Tianyi was amazed that his wife was able to identify the man. The man who was now working as a taxi driver had been spotted a few times during their stay at Tang Moyu's property at Peach Blossom Garden.

Feng Tianyi then proceeded to inform Zhang Jiren what he and Tang Moyu found out so far and how his accident was the cause of all their problems. Head Nurse Yu was indeed forced to make a meeting with Tang Moyu. It now made sense to them why she kept telling Tang Moyu to help her because she was being threatened.

While it's true that Yan Qiuyu had worked in the same hospital along with Head Nurse Yu, the two had never been assigned to the same department. So, it was truly impossible for them to believe Head Nurse Yu that she had a close relationship with Tang Moyu's and Tang Lingjun's mother.

Hearing his brother-in-law apologize for the trouble, Zhang Jiren couldn't help but feel guilty towards Feng Tianyi. His accident, as well as the deaths of the mother and child, were his own doing, after all.

Zhang Jiren lowered his head and clenched his fist on his side. His sister had just gotten the family and love she'd always wanted but he'd ruined it. He should have listened to their father when Tang Lixue warned him not to mess with the Fengs. But at that time, he felt that he couldn't just turn a blind eye to his sister's suffering after what Feng Tianhua did to her.

"It's not your fault. I'm sure my sister understands that you didn't mean to cause their deaths."

'Because I was the one at fault,' he thought. 'It should be me who should have received his hatred, not Feng Tianyi.' If he knew that what he did would end up like this, he would have never dared to orc.h.e.s.trate something that now endangered Tang Moyu's life.

"Still, the accident could have been avoided if I didn't over speed, causing the brakes to fail," Feng Tianyi sighed on the other line. "The two of you are too forgiving. You know, I would feel a little at ease if you blame me a little." historical

"Blaming each other won't help us, you know this. So, what now?"

What now, indeed. Since he was the real cause of this problem, Zhang Jiren certainly couldn't pretend he didn't care.

"The authorities are now trying to find his whereabouts. The sooner they would be able to apprehend him, the better. Until then, we have to be extra careful," Feng Tianyi said.

"I see. If you need anything, you know how to reach me," he offered his brother-in-law.

"It's enough for me and Moyu that you are able to keep Li Meili and her daughter away from harm. My problem has nothing to do with the three of you and none of you deserve to suffer because of me," Zhang Jiren heard Feng Tianyi which twisted his gut from guilt.

If he came clean now and revealed that he was the cause of that car accident, not only he would lose his sister's trust but also Li Meili's. Just the mere thought of Li Meili hating him, looking at him with disgust in her eyes was enough to make Zhang Jiren want to be swallowed by the ground to be saved from shame.
