Chapter 383 There is a problem with the will
Or perhaps it was one of her former lovers?
Ning Anquan never imagined that one day he would be troubled by the fact that his stepmother had too many ex-lovers, had cheated on his father too many times, and was unable to confirm who the father of the child in her womb was.
"It belongs to Xue Jifeng."
"Hmm?" As soon as Ye Wanxi said this, everyone present looked at her with curiosity.
Ye Wanxi chuckled: "If that Mr. Li Suizhi was willing to let her get pregnant, she wouldn't need to go to such lengths to find someone to get her pregnant."
Everyone suddenly realized, but some were still puzzled: "If Li Suizhi treated A-Quan and his father like this, it must be for his family's property unless there was some deep-seated hatred between them. In that case, wouldn't it be better to let that woman get pregnant with his child and help him fight for the family fortune?"
"Or did he already know that Uncle Ning had a tubal ligation, and that the woman's pregnancy would arouse suspicion? That doesn't make sense either. If he really knew, he would definitely have told that woman."
Ye Wanxi did not answer immediately, but asked Ning Anquan, "Does Li Suizhi have a wife and children?"
"Yes, he has a son and a daughter. His daughter is about my age, and his son has just come of age."
"Isn't that settled? She has sons and daughters, she doesn't lack children at all, why would she need to have another one? Besides, not all big bosses who love to cheat and have fun are like those in TV dramas, who love mistresses to take their place. Look at all the men Bai Limei was with before, did any of them get her pregnant?"
Everyone was stunned, and upon closer reflection, they realized it was true.
Despite being a mistress for so many years and having been with so many men, she doesn't have a single child, and there's not even a record of her pregnancy.
This means that she never got pregnant, rather than that she got pregnant but didn't give birth.
"...Didn't she actively use contraception?" Changing partners so frequently, it wouldn't be good to bring a child along, would it?
As soon as Zou Hanming finished speaking, Xiang Linsheng couldn't help but roll her eyes at him: "How brainless does she have to be to take precautions? She's already so shameless, does she expect to be so virtuous and chaste and uphold her principles when it comes to having children?"
Zou Hanming touched his nose guiltily and whispered in defense, "I just assumed that having a child would make it harder for her to seduce other men, didn't I?"
Hearing this, Xiang Linsheng couldn't help but roll her eyes at him again: "Don't you know the identities of the people she's with? How could she let others raise her child? Even if there really is an illegitimate child, even if she really has to give Bai Limei away for the sake of interests, she will definitely keep the child and raise him herself. It's just an illegitimate child, can't she afford to raise him?"
"Having children creates ties. These men will inevitably think of her when they see the children, which is beneficial to her. I think this woman probably wishes she could have a child with every man she meets, so that she can use these children to keep the fish in her sea of love!"
Seeing Zou Hanming being berated by Xiang Linsheng, Ye Wanxi kindly defended him, saying, "Ahem, you yourself said that having a child creates ties. For the sake of the child, the child's biological father might really lock her up and raise her as a caged bird, a canary. This woman's ambition goes beyond that, so naturally she won't let the child become a ties to her."
"But you just said..."
“Bai Limei has her reasons for using contraception, and these men naturally have theirs.” Ye Wanxi patted the documents in her hand. “Judging from these, most of their marriages are business alliances. Since they are business alliances, there are naturally many entanglements involved. It’s fine to let the husband keep a mistress outside if there’s no affection, but if a child is born, it’s not just a matter between the couple, but a matter between two families. At that time, it won’t be so easy to deal with.”
The three were slightly taken aback; they probably would have thought of this much earlier under normal circumstances.
However, there is a difference between watching from the sidelines and experiencing it firsthand. This is why those involved are often blinded by their own perspectives, and they need Ye Wanxi to give them some pointers.
but……
"Miss Ye seems to have a good understanding of the secrets of these aristocratic families." Her analysis was quite insightful.
Ye Wanxi's expression stiffened slightly, and she coughed lightly, saying, "It's nothing. The more you listen, the more you'll understand."
Ye Wanxi's words were true. In her previous life, there was a senior sister on the next peak who was particularly gossipy. Every time she went down the mountain, she would bring back a bunch of interesting folk tales, such as which master had taken a concubine or which lady had cheated on her husband.
Unfortunately, her fellow disciples on the peak weren't interested in these things and didn't like listening to her talk about them. Only Ye Wanxi, who rarely went down the mountain, was somewhat interested in these matters.
So much so that every time she came back, she would run over and chatter with Ye Wanxi for a long time, only to be thrown out by her senior brother for leading the children astray.
“Li Suizhi is the same kind of person as them. In fact, compared to others, his feelings for Bai Limei are even weaker. It is very likely that he only sees her as a tool to scheme against the Ning family. How could he allow her to give birth to his child, seize the Ning family's property, and then come back to seize his Li family's property, causing chaos in the family?”
After Ye Wanxi finished speaking, she felt a little admiration for the woman's ability to act up, and also a tiny bit of pity for her.
After all that effort, she didn't even dare to have a child. She finally evolved from a mistress who moved among various powerful figures into the rightful Mrs. Ning.
She was just one step away from giving birth, but she never expected that her husband had already cut off her escape route, so that even if she did give birth, she could be dragged from heaven to hell at any time.
So, with that kind of intelligence, there are so many other things she could do, why does she have to be so fixated on men?
Hearing her say that, Xiang Linsheng and the others felt a chill run down their spines. It was true that with that woman's ambition, she might actually try to do something that would benefit both sides.
After shivering, Zou Hanming's mind suddenly cleared for a rare moment: "Wait, since Uncle had his tubal ligation done a long time ago, he must have known that the child in that woman's belly wasn't his. What about the will..."
Ning Anquan's eyes narrowed slightly: "There's a problem with the will."
He should have known! Before his father died, he had never heard him mention that Bai Limei was pregnant or that he would soon have a younger brother or sister.
It was only after his father died and the liquidation of his estate that Bai Limei came forward to say that she was pregnant with his father's child and that he had left a will half a month before his death.
At that time, he was immersed in the grief of losing his father and the chaos in the company caused by his father's sudden death. He never thought that there was a problem with the will, nor did he think that the child was not his father's child at all.
Now that I think about it, if Bai Limei really was pregnant, her father would not have kept it a secret from her, let alone leave an inheritance for the child knowing that he had a tubal ligation and could not have a child with Bai Limei.
That will definitely have problems, and it's even possible that his father's death was also...
