Chapter 287: Wei Xin’s Regret
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Li Zecheng, who had returned in low spirits, did not expect an even greater blow to come.
He had just returned home when he saw two large suitcases piled up at the door. Wei Xin was waiting for him on the sofa with her youngest son in her arms.
Li Zecheng was slightly stunned. “Wei Xin, what are you doing? Why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were going on a trip?”
...Wei Xin looked at him coldly. Her gaze was no longer as passionate as before. Perhaps it was because she had gotten Li Zecheng that she realized that this man was not as good as she had imagined.
“I want to divorce you,” she said flatly.
“Are you crazy?” Li Zecheng thought she was joking. After all, Wei Xin had put in a lot of effort to be with him. He did not believe that she could really bear to part with him.
Wei Xin’s expression was cold and her gaze was firm. “I’m not joking with you.”
Li Zecheng’s movements paused slightly. He examined Wei Xin and realized that she was not joking. He suddenly panicked.
“Wei Xin, stop fooling around. I know I’ve neglected you and the child recently. Don’t worry, I’ll return to my family in the future. I’ll take good care of you.” He walked up to Wei Xin and reached out to hold her hand.
Unexpectedly, Wei Xin pulled her hand away. Li Zecheng was stunned. Seeing the indifference in Wei Xin’s eyes, he panicked.
“Do you have a problem with me because I was going to claim Qiao An’s children?”
Wei Xin’s eyes moved. Li Zecheng found the root of the problem and smiled bitterly. “Don’t worry, I won’t bring Qiao An’s children into the Li family. Don’t worry.”
Wei Xin’s expression softened. However, she was very curious why Li Zecheng suddenly changed his mind.
At the mention of Qiao An’s child, Li Zecheng said angrily, “That child is not from our Li family. She found a wild man’s seed to make test tube babies.”
Wei Xin was dumbfounded.
Thinking about how Qiao An had always made her suffer in the past few years, Wei Xin had a bad impression of her. She even hated Qiao An. She felt that if Qiao An didn’t exist in this world, her life shouldn’t be so miserable.
So at the mention of Qiao An, she criticised her. “She’d rather use the wild man’s seed than carry your child. She’s rubbing your dignity in the ground. Only you can stand her humiliation.”
Li Zecheng was worried that he had nowhere to vent his grievances. He looked at Wei Xin steadily. “Then what should I do? The child is not related to me by blood, and she did not cheat on me. I can’t do anything about her.”
Wei Xin said, “Even if the child is a test-tube baby, they still have a biological father. Let’s find the child’s father and frame them for cheating. Let’s see how arrogant she can be in the future.”
Li Zecheng thought for a moment. “That’s not good.”
Wei Xin’s face darkened. “Why? Can’t bear to hurt her?”
Li Zecheng said nothing.
Wei Xin picked up the child, stood up, and walked towards the door.
Li Zecheng panicked and strode after her. He stopped her and said, “Wei Xin, stop fooling around.”
Wei Xin said, “Li Zecheng, do you know how much I hate Qiao An?”
Li Zecheng said, “She’s been overseas for the past few years and didn’t provoke you. Why do you hate her?”
Wei Xin said, “I hate her. Back then, she pretended to be magnanimous and helped us.”
Li Zecheng was puzzled. “Isn’t that good?”
Viciousness appeared in Wei Xin’s eyes. “Hmph, I used to be grateful to her. But now I know that her schemes are really unfathomable. Marrying you is the most regretful decision I’ve ever made.”
She roared hysterically. “Ever since I married you, your mother has been glaring at me every day and pointing fingers. I’m her slave. I have to serve her every day. If I don’t satisfy her, she’ll scold me. Qiao An clearly knows what an evil mother-in-law your mother is, but she pushed me into a pit of fire. Don’t you think she’s very vicious?”
Li Zecheng’s expression was gloomy.
In the past, when his mother had suppressed his former daughter-in-law, Qiao An, he had felt that there was nothing wrong with his mother because she had always turned a blind eye. It was only when he and Qiao An divorced that Qiao An revealed her true nature of not liking his mother. At that time, he had felt that his mother was not in the wrong.
It was not until Wei Xin married him and was also suppressed by her mother-in-law that it dawned on him. Wei Xin was not Qiao An. She was spoiled and when her mother-in-law treated her badly, she immediately retorted. The conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was unprecedentedly intense.
Li Zecheng realized that his mother was not a good mother-in-law.
He also realized how good the old Qiao An had been.
Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
Wei Xin’s accusation continued. “Your grandfather only acknowledged Qiao An as his granddaughter-in-law. He admired Qiao An’s talent. Even though I gave birth to two children for the Li family, in his eyes, I’m a fertility machine. I admit that I bear some responsibility since I made his favorite granddaughter-in-law leave. But what disappointed me was your attitude. I was wronged in the Li family, but you ignored me. Li Zecheng, you don’t love me at all. You only love yourself.”
Li Zecheng was furious. “Wei Xin, you’re too pretentious. In the past, Qiao An wouldn’t be like you and cause trouble every other day. I really regret…”
At this point, Wei Xin and Li Zecheng’s expressions changed.
Wei Xin wailed, “Do you regret divorcing her? Do you regret marrying me?”
Li Zecheng said angrily, “Look at you now. You’re like a shrew.”
Wei Xin sneered. “Don’t forget that you once forced Qiao An to become a shrew. After Qiao An left you, she could live so elegantly and confidently. Li Zecheng, you should reflect on why all women become shrews when they’re with you. Because you’re the real trash.”
Li Zecheng slapped Wei Xin.
“Wei Xin, you’re crazy.”
Wei Xin covered her burning face and looked at Li Zecheng with a terrifying expression. She suddenly laughed sinisterly. “You hit Qiao An in the past, and now you hit me. Li Zecheng, you domestic abuser. I want to divorce you.”
With that, Wei Xin carried the youngest child and left with her luggage.
Li Zecheng slumped on the sofa like a stray dog.
He didn’t understand how his glamorous life spiraled into this mess.
He thought back carefully to his life. The peak of his life must have been the few months after he married Qiao An. From the moment she was kidnapped and he gave up on her, his life had begun to decline.
“It’s karma, isn’t it?” he said to himself.
