Chapter 149 A Hasty Divorce

Back then, after the original owner's biological mother passed away, Ning Kang, who had a job and had already been allocated a house, became a hot commodity. Even though he had a daughter, people didn't care as much because she was a daughter. After all, everyone assumed that daughters would grow up and get married, and would not only not compete for the family property, but would also earn a dowry.

So Ning Kang is quite sought after. Ning Kang is sincere towards the original owner's biological mother. He was heartbroken and depressed for a while after his wife left. However, as a man, he has never properly learned how to do housework. It was indeed chaotic to raise a daughter alone. He couldn't even take care of himself, let alone his daughter.

So, in less than six months, he succumbed to reality and instinct and agreed to find another one. He started looking at potential partners, including some who were getting married for the first time, but whose other conditions might be slightly worse.

Wu Yumei was not at an advantage among her blind date partners; she was unemployed and had a daughter.

However, Wu Yumei was having a hard time at her parents' home after losing her husband. Seeing that Ningkang was in such good condition, she was eager to hold on to him. So she took advantage of Ningkang's need to find someone to take care of the family and children, and showed off her strength in taking care of children.

Ning Kang noticed that she also had a daughter of about the same age, and felt that she was experienced, so he was indeed somewhat tempted.

Wu Yumei pretended to be understanding, since she was also single and they had common topics. After a while, Ning Kang felt that Wu Yumei was a good match for him, and they got married.

But all of this was just an act by Wu Yumei. After marrying into the family, Wu Yumei felt uncomfortable whenever she saw Ning Xuan, feeling that Ning Xuan had taken away her daughter's resources. She believed that if it weren't for Ning Xuan, her daughter would definitely be treated as Ning Kang's own daughter.

So she tried every means to torment Ning Xuan in private, but Ning Xuan was lucky. Although she was severely malnourished, she still survived.

After some time, Wu Yumei felt that she needed to have a child with Ningkang to secure her position, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get pregnant.

Ningkang also wanted to have another son, so Wu Yumei got anxious. One day she heard someone say that there was a couple who had been married for 5 years but couldn't have a child. Everyone thought it was the woman's fault, so the man's family divorced her.

The following year, the woman remarried, and news of her pregnancy spread that same year. She later gave birth to twins.

The man remarried, but after two or three years there was still no sign of pregnancy, leading everyone to guess that he was infertile.

Wu Yumei now suspected that Ning Kang might be infertile, but she dared not say it or mention that Ning Kang should get checked. In a moment of impulse, she decided to borrow a seed.

Just before she got married, there was someone who had his eye on her, but his family was too poor, and she didn't like him.

In order to get vaccinated, she pretended to ask that person for help, and then took the opportunity of inviting the person to dinner to thank him to get him half drunk.

When the man wakes up, he realizes that he has done something bad to the person he likes. He feels both secretly pleased and guilty. Wu Yumei takes advantage of this psychology to get him to keep the secret.

Unfortunately, she didn't hit the mark that time, so Wu Yumei had to resort to the same trick again. The man surnamed Qian liked Wu Yumei anyway, and he enjoyed it.

It just so happened that Ning Kang was often working overtime at that time and had no energy for marital relations. So during that time, Wu Yumei often hung out with the man surnamed Qian, and in less than two months, Wu Yumei successfully became pregnant.

She had been pregnant before and knew she was most likely pregnant, but Ning Kang hadn't touched her during that time, so the child's surname was Qian. In order not to expose her secret, Wu Yumei started to find ways to create opportunities with Ning Kang. Although it would be a little time-consuming, she could say that the child was premature. Anyway, Ning Kang, a grown man, wasn't as meticulous as she was.

Later, Ning Hui really did give birth prematurely, and she used the excuse of premature birth. Ning Kang had a son, who was also premature, and he doted on Ning Hui even more, so he couldn't care less about Ning Xuan.

During the confession, Wu Yumei revealed how she had mistreated Ning Xuan and that her previous claims about Ning Xuan being a picky eater were false.

Another thing that made Ning Kang want to beat Wu Yumei to death immediately was that Wu Yumei had been in contact with the man surnamed Qian for so many years, and she also secretly took money from the family to spend on her lover.

Ning Kang, that fool, just let Wu Yumei manage the household so easily, and as a result, she squandered all the family's wealth. Looking at the pitiful balance in the bankbook, Ning Kang felt like tearing Wu Yumei's heart to pieces.

"Divorce! Considering you've taken good care of me all these years, I'll let you leave with the two children, but you must get back the money you stole from the house to spend on other men, or I'll report you for having an affair."

The anger of being cuckolded for so many years made Ning Kang want to report Wu Yumei directly, but he didn't want to make a big fuss and let everyone know that he had been cuckolded, which would be extremely embarrassing. So he decided to try to recover his economic losses.

That night, no one in the room slept. Ning Kang and the others couldn't sleep, but Ning Xuan didn't need to.

The next morning, Ning Kang asked a colleague to take leave, then forced Wu Yumei to meet her lover. He then threatened to report her and demanded that she return the money. He also wanted the money Ning Lan had spent on buying her a job back.

Knowing that his affair had been exposed, and fearing that Ning Kang would actually report him, Qian, who was already married with children, had only ever wanted Wu Yumei but couldn't have her. Later, the thrill of having an affair led him to maintain an improper relationship with Wu Yumei. However, he really didn't dare to make a big fuss, so he gritted his teeth and paid back the money.

After getting the money, Ning Kang immediately took Wu Yumei to get a divorce certificate, and Wu Yumei left with nothing but her two children.

Wu Yumei didn't dare to make a scene, but she was unwilling to give up. Later, Wu Yumei still managed to ruin the marriage with the man surnamed Qian. However, the man surnamed Qian's wife wasn't afraid of losing face and directly made the affair between the two of them a big deal...

However, this happened later. Ning Xuan looked at Ning Kang, whose temples had turned white overnight, and felt some sympathy, but also felt that this was the retribution for his inaction over the years in order to save himself trouble.

"Xiao Xuan, you've suffered so much all these years~" Ning Kang looked at his only biological daughter and regretted his past actions. He had known that Ning Xuan had a hard time, but he chose not to investigate for his own comfort. Now, his daughter must have grown distant from him.

Ning Xuan guessed what he was thinking. "You don't need to say these things. I'm already so old. It's too late for you to say these things."

“Give your father a chance to make amends. They’ve paid back the money, and I have money now. I’ll use this money to buy you a job so you can go back to the city. Oh, I should have asked Ninglan to transfer the job to you directly, instead of taking the money.”

"I'm not coming back, so don't bother me." Ning Xuan interrupted Ning Kang.
