2193: A Famous Name

A Famous Name

The ceremony to acknowledge their ancestors was held in the ancestral hall. The elders of the Wen Corporation took out their family records and filled in the names that they had previously crossed out.1

"From today onwards, Wan Dou, you can use your original name, Qianxi. Your surname is Wen and you have been added to our family tree."

After the elder announced it, it meant that Wan Dou had the name of the Wen family, Wen Qianxi.

Wan Dou followed the etiquette and kowtowed to the ancestors of the ancestral hall. After the ceremony, she officially became a member of the Wen family.

After the ceremony, Wen Zhehan took Wan Dou to the Wen family graveyard to pay respects to her birth mother.

Wan Dou looked at the woman in the black and white photo on the tombstone. Her gentle smile made her tear up.

This was her biological mother, Shen Lan. Even though they had not spent a day together, Wan Dou felt nothing but gratitude to her.

Shen Lan had died to give birth to her and Wan Dou also felt very sad.

If only her mother was still alive. Then her father would not have remarried and their family would not have been separated for so many years.

But how could there be an if?

Wen Zhehan burned some paper money for his wife in front of the tombstone.

"Lanlan, did you see that? This is our daughter. She's still alive and well. She's 26 years old this year. She's very sensible. I've finally found her. I still used the name you gave her in the past, Qianxi."

Wen Zhehan then said to Wan Dou, "Doudou, come and kowtow to your mother! She must be very happy to see you!"

Wan Dou did not say anything. Her eyes were red as she placed the flowers in her hands in front of the tombstone. Then she knelt down and kowtowed three times to the tombstone.

Wen Zhehan nodded and wiped his wet eyes. "Lanlan, from now on, I will bring my daughter to see you often. You will not be alone. Our whole family will be here."

"Since you love my mother so much, why did you marry Li Meien?"

Wen Zhehan was stunned by her question. He came back to his senses and let out a long sigh.

"Haa…"

At that time, it was because of the pain of losing his wife and daughter that he had a mental breakdown and could not recover. He had lived in a depressed and painful environment for a long time.

Since he couldn't get rid of his depression, he naturally used alcohol to numb himself. Only when he was drunk would he not miss his wife and daughter.

However, he had no idea that he would wake up with Li Meien one day.

He was a responsible man who cared about his family's reputation. That was why he had no choice but to marry Li Meien. Otherwise, he would never want to marry again.

Hearing Wen Zhehan's words, Wan Dou could understand his pain. As for Li Meien, Wan Dou truly felt that she was a scheming woman.

She had been pretending to be kind and virtuous in front of Wen Zhehan for so many years without being seen through. She was really impressive.

In fact, Wen Zhehan would never know that Li Mei'en couldn't have climbed into his bed without the help of his butler, Li Hou.

Everything was planned.

Even the child in Li Meien's belly hadn't been Wen Zhehan's.

After returning from the cemetery, Wan Dou sat in the back seat with Wen Zhehan. Wen Zhehan had been immersed in a sorrowful atmosphere. Every time he visited his wife's grave, he would feel a sense of guilt, making him feel bad.

"I'm not a good husband or a good father. I've let your mother down!"

"She shouldn't blame you."

Wan Dou said lightly.

It was only through their conversation at the cemetery that she learned about what had happened in the past. She now had a deeper understanding of Wen Zhehan.
