Chapter 157: Grasping Old Man Cen's Death Point
Doctor Zhou had just threatened their entire family, and as soon as he left, the eldest daughter said that Li's child could not be kept...
Old Mrs. Cen really couldn't understand this.
"Mom, why have you disliked my second brother for so many years?" Cen Fang answered without asking.
"This..." Seeing her daughter asking the question, Old Mrs. Cen hesitated. There were some things she had promised the old man that she would never tell the children.
"Mom, I know all about how hard you've worked over the years." Seeing that she was so distressed, Cen Fang sighed, as if to say, "I know everything."
"Fang, you..." Old Mrs. Cen thought that her eldest daughter had already known the reason, and she became a little excited.
"Mom, there are some things you can't say, I understand, so I won't say so much to you here. Mom, I just feel that my second brother's child must not be born." Cen Fang said again.
"But, but if something goes wrong with Li, Doctor Zhou will not let us go. Either it means ruining the reputation of our Cen family, or if anyone of us gets sick in the future and there is no doctor to treat us, we can't afford either!" said Old Mrs. Cen.
"Mom, of course I heard all this. Let's not talk about whether we can get treatment when we are sick. Dad will not tolerate this reputation alone. So, Doctor Zhou has Dad's lifeblood in his hands. But mom, will Doctor Zhou continue to use this to threaten our old Cen family? Will we always be controlled by him? What if Li's child is born in the future, and Doctor Zhou continues to stand up for the second branch and prevents it from working... Then what's the point of the second branch staying in our old Cen family?"
Cen Fang spoke word by word, with a hint of guidance in his words.
Old Mrs. Cen was not aware of this, she was just thinking seriously about what she said.
These words are undoubtedly the truth.
"But Doctor Zhou won't always protect the second wife, right? They have no relatives or friends. He will help this time only because Li is pregnant. As a doctor, he cannot tolerate unfair things..." Old Mrs. Cen said hesitantly.
"Who knows? The strange thing is that Doctor Zhou has nothing to do with the second wife, but he stands up for her time and time again. Mother, I was wondering, Doctor Zhou has been practicing medicine in this mountain for decades. Could it be that he has some connection with my second brother's biological mother?" Cen Fang said.
When she mentioned the words "biological mother", her tone was somewhat vague.
But Old Lady Cen's face still turned pale when she heard this.
Although the eldest daughter already knew everything, when her youngest daughter heard it from other people, she still felt deeply hurt.
Old Man Cen has been obsessed with that little bitch for so many years...
These have always been a thorn in Mrs. Cen's heart.
"Your father was so bewitched by that little bitch that he almost neglected his family!" Old Mrs. Cen said bitterly with tears in her eyes.
When she said this, she meant she believed what Cen Fang said.
I believe that Doctor Zhou might really have some connection with Cen Dahai's biological mother.
If it was because of this relationship, then it would be reasonable for him to stand up for the second wife for no reason.
Then the most worrying thing is that Dr. Zhou will continue to use this to threaten the Cen family...
If this is the case, how can they enslave the second wife and continue to make her work like their slaves?
"No, I have to talk to your father about this! It doesn't make sense that our entire family should be crushed by a wandering doctor from the mountains!" Old Mrs. Cen wiped her tears and immediately got up to find Old Man Cen.
"Oh, mother, don't be impulsive!" When Cen Fang saw that Old Lady Cen believed the lies she made up, she hurriedly grabbed Old Lady Cen before she had time to be happy.
If Old Mrs. Cen went to see Old Man Cen at this time, he would immediately expose her lies.
This is very detrimental to her plan!
"Fang, this is no small matter. You must talk to your father about it!" Old Mrs. Cen didn't understand why her daughter stopped her.
"Mom, think about it carefully. Will Dad listen to you when it comes to that person? What if Dad listens to you and becomes obsessed with protecting the Second House like Doctor Zhou? Even though he has been almost indifferent to the Second House for your sake for so many years and allowed us to treat it like that, what if this time, he uses Doctor Zhou's hand to openly protect the Second House from now on?"
Cen Fang continued to persuade, "Mom, think about it carefully. Even if Doctor Zhou threatened me, if Dad didn't agree, who could do anything to our Cen family? Why did Dad agree when he was threatened?
"Is there really no selfish motive towards the second wife in this?"
Every word she said was like a knife, stabbing into Old Mrs. Cen's heart.
Old Mrs. Cen gradually felt waves of suffocation coming.
But Cen Fang hasn't stopped yet.
"Mom, you said before that my second brother doesn't look like you at all, so does he look like his mother? Look at Cen Yan, she was very pretty before she was disfigured. Although she looks like her biological mother, she must also look like that person. This Li is pregnant, and we don't know if it's a boy or a girl. When I was at my husband's house, I heard my mother-in-law say that it's easy for people of different generations to look alike. If Li gave birth to a daughter who looked especially like my second brother's mother... Mom, tell me, how can Dad be so cruel to the second wife when he has such a child all day long?
"Dad is getting older, and the older people get, the more they miss the past.
"Who knows, if dad gets crazy and treats the second wife wholeheartedly, what will happen to the first and third wives? Will they all fall out of favor? What if dad gets crazy and gives everything in the family to the second wife?!"
Cen Fang became more and more excited as he spoke, and raised his voice to question.
"No! I absolutely will not allow this! The second branch and its people can only be our slaves! Don't even think about climbing over our heads!" Old Mrs. Cen's anger was successfully ignited, and she could no longer bear it. She immediately stood up and shouted angrily.
"Then mother, you must never let Li give birth to this child!" Upon seeing this, Cen Fang smiled slightly and said this lightly.
…
…
Cen Fang persuaded Old Lady Cen.
But no matter what she said to Old Lady Cen, she didn't reveal a single word to Mrs. Gao or Mrs. Yu.
The child in Li's belly must not be kept.
But this was not because of what she said to Old Lady Cen, but for another reason.
Cen Yan naturally didn't know about this conversation between the two.
When she had time, she went up the mountain to find Ji Yunzhan and shared with him the good news that Li was pregnant.
But the moment she saw Ji Yunzhan, she couldn't help but laugh at her own behavior.
"Why are you smiling when you see me?" Ji Yunzhan asked this, but the moment he saw her, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
