Chapter 1905: Not Bad


Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios


In the end, Wei De was enraged and had been chased back by the Zhai family.


It was also because of his rage that he had talked to Mother Wei about this matter. They had never expected that Wei Wei had overheard their conversation. Now, Mother Wei and Wei De could understand why Wei Xiaomei had told Wei Wei the truth.


Wei Wei was still young and lacked life experience. It was only natural for him to be unable to accept the truth after hearing it. If Wei Xiaomei did not explain the situation to Wei Wei, Wei Wei might be unable to control his own emotions and might let them slip in front of Zhai Hua.


So, did that mean that this matter had nothing to do with Wei Xiaomei?


How did Zhai Hua find out that Wei Wei was Wei De’s son, then?


No matter how hard Wei De thought, he could never have guessed that his relations.h.i.+p with Wei Wei had been exposed by Qiao Nan, whom he had looked down on. After a long time of contemplation, there was no doubt that the Wei family could not survive without Zhai Hua.


What’s more, Wei De could not even use the excuse of needing to return to the military to delay the court session. The Zhai family had a significant influence and status in the military, after all. Wei De had no say in the military, but the Zhai family did.


On the day of the court session, Wei De appeared restless and showed up looking pitiful with his disheveled clothes. “Hua Hua…” The moment that he saw Zhai Hua, Wei De’s eyes lit up as though he had seen the most important person in his life. A smile found its way onto his face. “Hua Hua, I’m finally seeing you again. I miss you.”


Unlike Wei De’s expression of affection, Zhai Hua was utterly disgusted by Wei De. He missed her? Because he missed her, he had slept with Wei Xiaomei? Because he missed her, he had always spent the night back from the military at the Wei family’s house instead of spending time with her and Jiajia?


Who could tell if Wei De had been spending time with Father and Mother Wei or Wei Xiaomei?


What Zhai Hua knew was that Wei De would much rather spend all of his free time on everyone else but her or Jiajia.


“Hua Hua, you’ve always been a good child. You’ve never despised our family because of our background and you’ve never looked down on me because of my past. Wei De was insensible and did something foolish, but can you forgive him just this once on our account? Don’t worry. From now on, your dad and I promise that we’ll keep our eyes on Ah De, and we’ll never let him commit this mistake ever again. It was his fault that I’m going to lose such a filial daughter-in-law. Don’t get angry. I’ll beat him up for you. Why did you go astray and cheat on Hua Hua? You like only Hua Hua, so why did you let someone else take advantage of you?”


Mother Wei rushed up and tugged on Zhai Hua’s hand as though Zhai Hua was her biological daughter while Wei De was her son-in-law. As she told her sob story, Mother Wei actually landed a few tight slaps on Wei De’s body.


This was already a breakthrough for Mother Wei. Mother Wei had never scolded Wei De, much less beat him.


Zhai Hua sneered. It seemed as though the Wei family could really not bear to see her get a divorce from Wei De from how Mother Wei was even willing to hit her son. Was this what going all out meant?


“That’s right, Hua Hua. Your mom is right. I don’t usually like to say anything. Your mom might be a little fierce, but she cares a lot about you and Jiajia. You’re a very good daughter-in-law. We would much rather lose our son than lose you. Jiajia is still young and needs a complete family. Hua Hua, for Jiajia’s sake, you should reconsider this divorce. Your mom and I have been missing Jiajia a lot these days.”


Father Wei, who had always remained silent at home, had finally spoken, making Zhai Hua realize that her father-in-law was quite eloquent with his words. She did not understand why it was just unpleasant listening to her mother-in-law. If not for Wei De, Jiajia, and this family, she would never have cared to interact with a woman like Mother Wei.


Now, the problem came. Mother Wei was never good with her words while Wei De could coax others so smoothly. That was exactly how she had been deceived by him at that time. So, who did Wei De resemble? Zhai Hua finally got her answer today. It must have been from Father Wei.


All for Jiajia’s sake. That sounded nice.


But she understood that what the Wei family really meant by for their child’s sake was that they cared about their grandson, Wei De’s son, Wei Wei, and not Jiajia.


“Why didn’t Wei Wei come? After this court case ends, he won’t be a fatherless child anymore. He’ll have a father and a mother. I thought that I would be able to meet him today and congratulate him. After all, I was the one who raised him since he was young. I should congratulate him about this, shouldn’t I?”


Zhai Hua was not foolish anymore and was not going to be deceived by the Wei family any longer. The Wei family had only talked about how Wei Xiaomei had drugged Wei De and how Wei De had been unwilling. But in the previous call, the Wei family had refused to talk about Wei De’s relations.h.i.+p with Wei Wei.


Did the problem not exist just because they refused to talk about it?


“Hua Hua, it’s a misunderstanding. It’s just a misunderstanding.” Father Wei’s eyes darkened. His daughter-in-law, who had suppressed her dissatisfaction toward the Wei family, had suddenly become so stubborn and headstrong. Even though they, her elders, had already humbled themselves before her, Zhai Hua’s att.i.tude had not softened, and she seemed bent on destroying them. But at this point in time, they had no choice but to lower their pride since they were the ones who did not want to end this marriage. “We’re not sure who told you such a lie. Xiao Wei is Ah De’s nephew. How could he be Ah De’s son? That’s a lie! He’s being maligned! Hua Hua, you can’t believe such lies and fall for such a trap!”


“Yes, that’s right! We only have one granddaughter, and that’s Jiajia. We don’t know who Xiao Wei’s father is. Why is Ah De being accused? He’s being maligned! Hua Hua, don’t believe them! It’s a lie! It’s fake!” Mother Wei quickly backed Father Wei up. As long as they could clear Ah De’s relation to Wei Wei, Zhai Hua would not be so determined to divorce Wei De.


Zhai Hua smirked. “Auntie, you’re doing quite a good job.”
