...Chapter 379 The Orphanage's Lies: The Handsome Flower Boy 79
The divorce is over.
"Ding-dong! The bad guy's life trajectory has changed! This has a positive effect on the main storyline of the villain!"
Salvage value +10%!
Current rescue value: 82%.
Upon receiving the reminder, Shen Ci realized that the way to save the villainous child was to directly change him and make contact with him.
Indirect help, such as dealing with those who have harmed him, can also have a positive effect, clearing obstacles in his life.
Zhou Weimin, after getting divorced, pushed his creaking cart all the way back.
The two elderly people were quite old, and after such a long journey, they were exhausted and didn't get back until it was already dark.
Zhou Weimin kept his head tucked under the quilt the whole way, afraid of being seen. His mind was buzzing as he recalled what Wang Xiuying had said.
The two children are not his.
Neither!
In order to climb the social ladder, he abandoned his only child.
Now karma has come back; the child has returned and will watch him be utterly disgraced, his wife and children torn apart.
"Weimin, we're home."
Zhou's father's voice was hoarse, blowing in with the north wind, stinging people's faces and hearts.
Zhou's mother went forward to open the door first. The door had been used for many years and was creaking. There was no stove in the room, and it was as cold as an ice cellar.
It feels warmer outside than inside.
The elderly couple struggled to take their son off the cart and move him to the bed. Zhou Weimin's legs were weak, but at his parents' house, he was once again the powerful figure who could command the wind and rain.
Being able to boss my parents around at will makes me feel like I've returned to my former high-spirited self.
People only become bossy and domineering towards their family members when they are incompetent.
They carried him into the house, relying entirely on his parents' efforts. By the time he lay down, all three of them were panting heavily from exhaustion.
Zhou's mother quietly wiped away her tears. She never expected that she would have to suffer such torment of serving others in her old age. She walked towards the kitchen with her back hunched over.
"I'll go boil some water."
Zhou's father sat on a small stool by the bed, looking at his son's ashen face, his heart aching as if it were being torn apart.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to begin. After a long while, he finally managed to utter a single sentence.
"If you're divorced, then so be it. At least you still have Zihan and Zixuan."
For the sake of your child, you have to pull yourself together.
It would have been better if he hadn't said those words; saying them felt like stabbing him in the heart, as if repeatedly reminding him of something.
Zhou Weimin suddenly laughed, but the laughter was dry and grating.
"Children? Do you know whose children Zihan and Zixuan are?"
Mr. Zhou was taken aback. Was there something else?
Zhou Weimin lay slumped on the bed, and when he looked up he could see the spider webs on the roof beams. He spoke slowly and deliberately.
"It's not mine."
Wang Xiuying herself said that she was pregnant before getting married, and the child was her ex-boyfriend's.
"I raised other people's children for over ten years, and even abandoned my own son for these two bastards."
The room was eerily quiet; you could hear a pin drop. Note that it was a pine needle.
Just as Zhou's mother brought in the hot water, upon hearing this, the enamel mug in her hand clattered to the ground, splashing hot water everywhere.
"What did you say?"
The old woman's voice trembled, and her eyes widened.
I never imagined that my grandchildren weren't my biological children!
They carefully protected their son's self-esteem, but this very careful behavior only made Zhou Weimin more agitated.
He sat up abruptly, veins bulging on his forehead.
"I said, your grandchildren, whom you two cherish like treasures, have absolutely no relation to the Zhou family!"
I'm ruined. Wang Xiuying said I'll never be able to have children again!
The Zhou family line is about to end! Are you satisfied now? Huh?!
To be honest, at this time, Zhou Weimin was as manic as a mad dog, biting anyone he could get his hands on, completely insane.
Zhou's mother's legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground, slapping her thighs and wailing loudly.
"What a terrible thing! What a terrible thing! I told you long ago that woman was no good, but you insisted on marrying into a wealthy family!"
Now look what's happened, everything's gone, not even a descendant left, oh dear! My eldest grandson!
The child wasn't their biological child, their eldest grandson was abandoned, and now their son is ruined. At their age, it's clear they can't have another child.
The thought of having no descendants brought tears to Zhou's father's eyes and made his lips tremble.
"Back then, we shouldn't have let you throw away that child. That child was a member of the Zhou family!"
That's a true member of the Zhou family!
It would have been better if they hadn't said anything, because once they did, Zhou Weimin got even angrier. He glared at his parents with bloodshot eyes, and all he could do was show off his power here.
"Now you're being hindsight? Did you stop me when I threw my child away? Huh?"
You all just sighed a few times and said that there was nothing you could do for the sake of your future.
Why pretend to be a kind and gentle grandpa or grandma now?
What you regret isn't abandoning your grandson, but rather that you didn't even reap any benefits from abandoning him!
These words directly pierced the last layer of paper. Although that was indeed what they thought in their hearts, hadn't they been showing regret all these years?
Zhou's parents were speechless after what their son said, and could only hug each other and cry.
Yes, they were saddened when their son said he wanted to get rid of that burden.
But when she thought about how her son could climb up the Wang family's ladder and achieve great success in the future, she suppressed her reluctance.
Looking back now, it really was karma.
Zhou's mother cried uncontrollably, realizing that what she had done was truly a huge loss.
"My grandson, my poor grandson, I don't even know if he's alive or dead!"
Zhou's father wept uncontrollably, his face streaked with tears, filled with deep regret.
"Our Zhou family line is truly doomed to die out!"
"uncertain."
Zhou Weimin suddenly spoke, interrupting the spellcasting.
The elderly couple looked up at him at the same time, forgetting even to wail.
A ruthless glint flashed in Zhou Weimin's eyes. As if he had thought of something, he stopped being so dejected.
"Wang Xiuying told me today that the person who reported her father even knows about the time I threw my child away."
She said someone had come seeking revenge. I figured that besides our own family, there was only one other person who could know about this.
"Is it that child?" Zhou's father asked in a trembling voice.
“Yes.” Zhou Weimin gritted his teeth, filled with resentment.
"If it really is him, then it means he is still alive."
Moreover, the fact that he now has the ability to retaliate against the Wang family and that Wang Xiuying is eager to distance herself from me shows that he's doing quite well now.
Zhou's mother got up and hurriedly grabbed her son's hand, saying, "We're not childless, that's good!"
"It's the Little New Year. Is the Little New Year still alive? Where is he?"
Instead of answering his mother's question, Zhou Weimin asked her a different question.
"Do you remember that snowy night more than ten years ago, where I left my child?"
Zhou's father thought about it.
"Didn't you say you dumped it in front of that welfare home in the west of the city?"
Zhou Weimin nodded.
"right.
I deliberately chose to leave the child outside the orphanage gate in the middle of the night before running away.
Logically, if someone had discovered the child, they should have been adopted into an orphanage.
