In stark contrast to the harmonious atmosphere between the Yu and Song families, the Luo family was deathly silent from night to day.
After returning from the Yu family last night, Luo's parents glanced coldly at Bai Jiu and Luo Bin, then turned them away and went back to their room, where they remained inside.
No one expected things to develop in this direction.
This is all a joke.
These days, Baijiu has been behaving very well in front of them, buying gifts for the two elderly people from time to time; and frequently bringing his son, who doesn't come home often, to visit them.
They had witnessed how the Yu and Song families had gotten along during this time. The whole family was happily together, talking about everything and exchanging ideas. This kind of life made Luo's parents envious.
They also wanted to see the family reunited, and they also wanted to use baijiu (Chinese liquor) to resolve their son's resentment towards them over the past two years.
So they've decided to gradually accept this daughter-in-law. As long as their son is happy and gets what he wants, and as long as Baijiu is willing to stay by Luosheng's side, the two elders won't say anything more.
They later learned from Luo Sheng about the previous five million; the Baijiu family was indeed in financial difficulty at the time, which is why they so readily accepted the money.
They also planned to let the matter rest.
But when they heard Luo Bin's words last night, everything was like a bolt from the blue, shattering their long-held beautiful expectations. The two of them looked at the liquor with disbelief and disappointment in their eyes.
The entire family of three was completely fooled by her!
She hurt Luo Sheng two years ago, and two years later she still cruelly deceived their son.
She actually deceived everyone by having an affair with the second wife of the Luo family; she also secretly had a child with someone abroad without telling them.
Or perhaps it's Luo Bin, who still harbors an irreconcilable grudge against Luo Sheng.
How dare she!
How could she dare say that she still had feelings for him these past two years!
Every word she uttered was a lie, not a single word of truth. She truly is a great actress!
Luo Sheng, who had been locked in his room for almost a day, couldn't understand how Bai Jiu could be such a liar. His memories of the past were still alive in his mind, but he couldn't remember what kind of person Bai Jiu used to be.
Did things turn out this way after you went abroad?
Or was she always like that?
Perhaps it was all wishful thinking on his part, his stubborn belief that everything she told him was the truth.
The stupid one is him, not someone else.
He suddenly remembered the day she refused to answer the phone; and the way she looked flustered and trembling when he first met Luo Bin last night.
Luo Sheng clenched his fists in pain and sat helplessly on the ground. A few beams of light shone through the thin silk curtains and fell on the man leaning against the wall, looking utterly dejected.
How long did she lie to herself?
How many of her statements are true?
Did he make the wrong choice from the very beginning?
Baijiu, who was sent back last night, didn't have a chance to explain to Luo Sheng. This morning, he went to the Luo family to find Luo Sheng again, but as expected, he was turned away again.
She pounded on the Luo family's gate in frustration, shouting hoarsely outside the house.
"Luo Sheng! Let me explain! I really didn't lie to you!"
"I did have that child with Luo Bin, but it was all against my will; I was forced into it because I had no other choice!"
"Please come out and let me explain! I really have my reasons!"
"I really do have feelings for you."
Looking at the Luo family's gate, which remained completely still, Bai Jiu felt a surge of anxiety and helplessness.
But she, who had recently been making great strides in China, was unwilling to have her future ruined like this.
They were both adults, and in Baijiu's view, her relationship with Luo Bin was just a small part of her life experience.
Besides, she and Luo Sheng had already broken up before she went abroad, so it doesn't count as her cheating on Luo Sheng.
She's brainwashing herself with baijiu (Chinese liquor), that's right, she's not wrong.
Therefore, it's absolutely impossible to get her to give up Luo Sheng.
As for that bastard Luo Bin, he really went to great lengths to get back at her and Luo Sheng.
After thinking about it all night, Baijiu finally understood why only Luo Bin was willing to help her when she was desperate, why he had to pretend to be a good man to pursue her, and why he had to make her give birth to that child without giving her a formal title.
All of this was merely a tool he used to take revenge on Luo Sheng's family.
Luo Bin had known for a long time that she had a past relationship with Luo Sheng, so he took advantage of her being isolated and helpless abroad, all for the sake of yesterday's incident.
Having that child with that scumbag was never her intention.
If Luo Bin hadn't secretly switched her birth control pills, she wouldn't have ended up with a child abroad.
By the time I found out I was pregnant, it was too late.
She had considered abortion, but each attempt ended in failure; the reason being that the man went to great lengths to prevent her from terminating the pregnancy.
This was also one of the important reasons why she decided to break up with him completely.
She still remembered what Luo Bin said when he dragged her home from the hospital.
"Jiu Jiu, I've helped you get to where you are today, and everything you have abroad now is thanks to me."
"I've spent so much money and pulled so many strings for you. Aren't you going to give me anything in return?"
“Although I’m against marriage, I’ve always wanted a child. So you better protect the baby in your belly; if anything happens to this child, I’ll make sure you get down to where you are today, just like I made you get out of there.”
"Do you understand, Jiu Jiu? You are the mother of my child, so no matter what happens in the future, I can give you anything except marriage."
He could give her anything except marriage.
Without marriage, what he said was nothing more than an empty promise.
So he was able to go out and find other women while she was pregnant?
He can give her anything? But this so-called "anything" can be given to other women as well.
She could be kicked out of the villa anytime, anywhere, as long as the other woman had his child.
Baijiu understood this principle. Knowing that he wouldn't gain any benefit from being with Luo Bin in the future, Baijiu immediately found a reason to break up with him and returned to China as quickly as possible.
She never expected that he would agree.
She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that everything abroad was over.
As for the child, he would leave him to him.
What was originally a trivial past in her eyes suddenly became serious the moment Luo Sheng called Luo Bin "cousin".
That child became a major obstacle for her to enter the Luo family.
However, what baijiu (Chinese liquor) has never been able to understand is...
What irreconcilable feud exists between the brothers Luo Sheng and Luo Bin?
