Liang Xiaohe had a relationship with Hu Yong before her marriage; that was before their marriage.

Now, Liang Xiaohe has actually secretly contacted Hu Yong? Zhao Tianyu felt that he might already be cuckolded.

"Xiaoyu, don't be impulsive. To catch a thief red-handed, you need to catch them in the act. If Liang Xiaohe goes out tonight, let's follow her and see what she thinks," Zhao Zhenzhu advised.

"Okay," Zhao Tianyu replied, the bulging veins on his forehead gradually subsiding.

Zhao Zhenzhu and her brother had already discussed it. When Liang Xiaohe left, Zhao Zhenzhu gave Zhao Tianyu a wink.

Zhao Tianyu made an excuse and went out with Zhao Zhenzhu.

The streetlights were dim, and Zhao Tianyu and Zhao Zhenzhu followed at a distance. Liang Xiaohe was lost in thought and didn't realize she was being followed.

The place where Hu Yong arranged to meet Liang Xiaohe was Hu Yong's old house. Hu Yong's parents had passed away a few years ago, and the old house was an inheritance left to him by his parents.

Hu Yong and his wife Shen Yuejiao live in another house instead of the old one.

Hu Yong is a household name in Taohua Town.

Hu Yong's family lives in the town; his parents are honest, hardworking farmers. Hu Yong is their only son.

After graduating from high school, Hu Yong failed to get into university. That year, Taohua Town Hospital was hiring general workers, and Hu Yong applied and got the job. Not long after, he met his wife, Shen Yuejiao, who worked in the town hospital's pharmacy.

Shen Yuejiao was three years older than Hu Yong, with a pockmarked face and a large, burly build.

Shen Yuejiao wasn't good-looking, but she had a powerful father who was a cadre in the county.

When Hu Yong was young, he was fair-skinned and refined, and Shen Yuejiao fell in love with him at first sight.

For a period of time, Hu Yong avoided Shen Yuejiao.

Shen Yuejiao is not only unattractive, but also has a terrible temper. Hu Yong doesn't want to marry a "she-devil."

Shen Yuejiao has been domineering since childhood, always wanting to get what she wants. Her parents have always spoiled her.

Shen Yuejiao asked her parents to think of a way; if she couldn't marry Hu Yong, she wouldn't live anymore.

Left with no other option, Shen's father had to talk to Hu Yong.

Shen's father told Hu Yong that as long as Hu Yong agreed to marry Shen Yuejiao, Shen's father would help Hu Yong get a permanent position and would also help Hu Yong rise through the ranks.

Back then, a stable job was everyone's dream. For the sake of his future, Hu Yong compromised. After all, women are all pretty much the same once the lights are off.

Shen's father kept his word. Not long after Hu Yong married Shen Yuejiao, he was promoted to a permanent position. A few years later, Hu Yong became the vice president of the hospital. A few years ago, he became the mayor of Taohua Town.

Hu Yong's official career was going very smoothly, and he should have been riding high.

Unfortunately, Hu Yong was not happy. He and Shen Yuejiao had been married for so many years, but they still didn't have any children.

Hu Yong was anxious.

He was the only son in his family and had never had any children. Wouldn't that mean the Hu family line would end?

When Hu Yong and his wife went to the hospital for a checkup, it turned out that the problem was indeed with Shen Yuejiao.

Divorce Shen Yuejiao? Hu Yong dared not, nor did he want to.

Shen's father enjoyed a meteoric rise in his official career during those years, climbing the ranks steadily.

Hu Yong knew perfectly well that without his father-in-law's protection, he might end up as a lowly hospital handyman in his old age. From the day he reluctantly married Shen Yuejiao, he had already planned his future path: he was determined to rise to prominence by relying on the Shen family.

Shen Yuejiao didn't want a divorce either.

Hu Yong was very doting on Shen Yuejiao and was also good-looking. After the divorce, it would be difficult for Shen Yuejiao to find someone better than Hu Yong.

After discussing it, the couple decided to have a child through surrogacy.

That's how Liang Xiaohe caught the eye of Hu Yong and his wife.

Liang Xiaohe was eighteen years old that year, and she was very pretty.

Liang Tuyou has no special skills, and he doesn't have any capable relatives.

Most importantly, Liang Xiaohe's sisters were all "sold out" by Liang Tuyou. Liang Tuyou is the kind of person who will agree to anything as long as there's money.

Of course, Hu Yong and his wife wouldn't be foolish enough to start negotiating with Liang Tuyou from the beginning.

What if Liang Tuyou finds out their true intentions and tries to make exorbitant demands?

After discussing it, Hu Yong and his wife decided to take it one step at a time.

At that time, Hu Yong had only been the vice president of Taohua Town Hospital for a short period of time.

Hu Yong pretended to fall in love with Liang Xiaohe at first sight and secretly began to pursue her.

Liang Xiaohe was both surprised and delighted.

What surprised Liang Xiaohe was that Hu Yong was a married man, but what pleased her was that Hu Yong had promised Liang Xiaohe that if she gave birth to his child, he would help her find a job.

Liang Xiaohe felt that Hu Yong was much better than her brothers-in-law. It was just about having children; what woman doesn't have children after getting married?

And so, Hu Yong and Liang Xiaohe, two people who shared similar tastes, became a couple.

After Liang Xiaohe became pregnant, Shen Yuejiao reported the "good news" to her family.

Shen's father scolded Shen Yuejiao.

Shen's father scolded Shen Yue for being a pig-brain, saying that she didn't know to go back to her parents' home to discuss such a big matter first, and only knew how to listen to Hu Yong.

The child was born to Hu Yong and another woman. Hu Yong sees the child every day. Could he still be thinking about this woman?

It would have been better to adopt one from the start.

The child is too young to remember things.

Then we'll say she was born to Shen Yuejiao and raised by her side since she was little. The child won't know her own background and will definitely treat Shen Yuejiao as her biological mother in the future.

It's better than raising another woman's child like this. What if the child grows up, learns about their true parentage, and goes off to care for their biological mother? What role will Shen Yuejiao, the adoptive mother, play then?

Shen Yuejiao realized her father was right and changed her mind.

Hu Yong was furious but dared not speak out.

Hu Yong originally wanted to have the blessing of having two wives.
