Chapter 227 Don’t Fool Me
Zhao Changying laughed. Although You Shengxing didn't know what his mother-in-law's laugh meant, he felt a little uneasy.
After Zhao Changying got You Shengxing's answer, she didn't believe that he only knew about the existence of the child now.
You Shengxing's family lives in the county town. He was born and raised in the county town, and his ex-girlfriend probably lived there too.
Everyone living in the county town eats a ration of commercial grain. My ex-boyfriend's family has both sons and daughters, so there must be no one to inherit the family line. How could he raise this unworthy grandson at home after his daughter died, and not go find the father, You Shengxing?
He just said that his ex-girlfriend had a child and kept it a secret from his parents before she died. This shows that his ex-girlfriend's parents also knew from the beginning that he was the father of the child.
If it were her, not to mention giving birth to the child, she would have to ask You Shengxing to take responsibility when her daughter was pregnant.
How could it be possible that after the daughter died and the child was born, he still didn't go to look for her?
What's more, the You family's conditions are so good.
This matter is definitely not as simple as You Shengxing said.
"Your ex-girlfriend's family has brothers, and brothers have children, right? It's not like there are no children in this family. Why are her parents raising the children themselves instead of coming to you, their biological father?"
"Xiao You, I haven't read much, but I'm not stupid. Don't try to fool me." Zhao Changying said directly with a cold face.
Gu Hongmei was stunned at first, then stared at You Shengxing in shock.
She believed You Shengxing's words because he didn't know the existence of the child before, but now after hearing what her mother said, she felt something was wrong.
You Shengxing didn't expect his mother-in-law to think this way, and hurriedly explained, "Mom, how dare I fool you? I just found out about the child. As for the child's grandparents, why didn't they come to me earlier? That was what the child's mother told them to do before she died. They were just fulfilling their daughter's last wish."
"That's even more bizarre," Zhao Changying said with a smile. "Is having a child out of wedlock considered something glorious these days? What mother would be willing to have her son born illegitimate, and then die without the child being able to live with his father?"
"Your family is so well-off. It's definitely better for the child to live with you as her father than to live with her parents."
You Shengxing wiped the sweat from his forehead, lowered his head and adjusted the legs of his glasses, "She didn't want to have a bad influence on me, so..."
Zhao Changying interrupted him, and then I was even more puzzled. "Even after all this, she still chose to let her parents raise the child secretly and hide it from you because she didn't want to have a bad influence on you. So she must have deep feelings for you. You can even get pregnant with her, so she must like her very much."
If you don't like someone and you're not dating with the intention of getting married, but you sleep with them, isn't that just promiscuity?
"She's already pregnant, why doesn't she marry you?" Zhao Changying asked sincerely.
You Shengxing: “…”
His big hands slowly clenched into fists, and a hint of pain flashed in his eyes.
Don't they want to get married?
It’s his parents who don’t agree!
He and Meiyuan are childhood sweethearts. They grew up in the same compound, and his parents and Meiyuan's parents are colleagues.
The relationship between the two families used to be very good, but a few years ago, Meiyuan's parents had problems with their background and were dismissed from their jobs. They had to clean toilets, and everything changed.
He was going to take over his father's job as factory manager, and he couldn't afford to have any problems, so his parents opposed him and Meiyuan's continued relationship.
But he and Meiyuan are in love with each other and don't want to separate, so he still secretly dates Meiyuan.
Even though his parents knew that Meiyuan was pregnant, they did not agree. He was also worried that Meiyuan would have a bad influence on him, so he just asked his parents tentatively, and after receiving a harsh answer, he never mentioned the matter again.
They rented a yard in the suburbs of the county town for Meiyuan to stay there to take care of her pregnancy and give birth, and they also spent money to ask Meiyuan's sister to take care of her.
He also promised Meiyuan's family that once the child was born, his parents would not be able to object and he could marry Meiyuan.
Of course, that was just a delaying tactic.
But he didn't expect that Meiyuan died of complications during childbirth.
At that time, the factory leaders were strict about the lifestyle of the factory cadres, and it was time for his father to retire. He was afraid that if people knew about his child's affairs, it would affect his ability to take over his father's job.
So he asked the child's grandparents to raise the child, and he gave them 40 yuan in child support every month.
He also promised that sooner or later, he would let Xiaobao return to his ancestral home and inherit the You family's business, and that he would only be the only child in his life.
The Zhang family couldn't even earn that much in a month, so they were naturally happy about it. That's why they treated Xiaobao as a relative's child and raised him at home over the years.
I waited until the time was right before bringing the child home.
Because he and Gu Hongmei had no children, his parents were eager to have a grandson. When they learned about the existence of Xiaobao, their grandson, they quickly accepted it.
In order to prevent gossip, he was asked to tell others that the child was adopted.
We were discussing this matter yesterday when Gu Hongmei came back and overheard it all.
I wanted to hide it from her, but I couldn't.
"Her family background was questionable, and my parents disagreed. My mom even went to humiliate her. She was a very strong-willed girl, so she unilaterally broke up with me and disappeared."
There was humiliation, but Zhang Meiyu had no backbone. She even knelt down and cried, begging You's mother to help her and You Shengxing get together.
Gu Hongmei felt sad. When You Shengxing mentioned his ex-boyfriend, his eyes were filled with sadness and nostalgia.
It can be seen that he still has someone in his heart.
This made it seem even more pathetic and ridiculous that I, a wife who had been married to him for four or five years and was treated indifferently, was so pathetic.
Since he still has someone in his heart, why did he marry her?
She and You Shengxing met at a dance party held in the factory for single young men and women. She didn't know how to dance, so she sat in the corner and watched others dance with envy.
It was he who walked up to her, held out his hand, and invited her to dance.
She embarrassedly refused because she didn't know how, but he gently offered to teach her.
Gu Hongmei had never met a man like You Shengxing who looked elegant and refined. She fell in love with him at first sight after just a short dance.
Not long after that, the factory's women's director came to her to act as a matchmaker, saying that the factory director's son had taken a fancy to her.
At that time, she felt like she was dreaming, thinking that she had met someone she loved and then they got married.
However, her married life in the past few years and what was happening now made her suddenly realize that the so-called liking for her might not mean liking her.
"Do you dare to swear that you have not told a single lie and have not deceived my Hongmei? If you have told a lie, you will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death." Zhao Changying stared at You Shengxing with a deep gaze.
