Chapter 94 The Other Shoe Has Dropped
I coldly watched him walk out the door in a panic, and then glanced at my mother who was still proud of having successfully stopped me. I wonder how she would react if she knew that my father had an illegitimate child outside.
All along, my mother only cared about whether the money my father brought home had decreased, and never paid attention to whether the time he spent at home was getting less and less.
However, the amount of money my father brings home has not changed over the years, which means that he earns much more than my mother knows.
I returned to the guest room, closed the door, and sent a message to Xiao Shiqiu.
Me: [Have you found out anything about my dad?]
Xiao Shiqiu: [I found out, but I haven't had time to tell you yet.]
Me: [Then you can speak now.]
Xiao Shiqiu: [The woman's name is Ye Qiwen, she's 34 years old, she used to be your father's secretary, now she lives in Yujingwan Community in City A, and the house is registered under her name.
She has a 9-year-old son in elementary school named Xia Yixuan, who was born on August 8, 2008. He should be your half-brother.
Finally, the other shoe has dropped. I am no longer as shocked as I was then. This result was expected and it is just confirmed now.
But what can I do even if I know?
Should I confront my dad? What if he admits it? Should I help him hide it from my mom, or tell her?
Given my mother's personality, she definitely wouldn't tolerate such a thing happening, and divorce is almost the only option.
This seems to be the most difficult choice I have made in the past twenty years.
Seeing that I hadn't responded for a long time, Xiao Shiqiu sent me another message, "Baby, are you okay?"
Me: [Oh no, I don't know what to do. I don't want my parents to get divorced. They may not be very loving, but they rarely argue over the years. I don't know if my mom would be able to accept it if she knew.]
Xiao Shiqiu: [I can't say much about your family's affairs, but you should know that if this matter is exposed, your parents' marriage will probably be ruined. If they divorce, the only issue involved will be property.]
Yes, divorce involves nothing more than children and property. I am an adult, so there is no custody issue, so the only issue is property.
My mother told me that when she was together with my father, he had just started his business, so most of our family property was marital property.
In this case, my mother knows nothing about my father's financial situation. Isn't there a high possibility that she will lose both her money and her life?
I immediately responded: "You're right. My mom probably doesn't understand my dad's financial situation very well. If we get divorced, I'm afraid she'll be at a disadvantage when it comes to property division."
Xiao Shiqiu: [You're not that stupid, are you?]
Me: [Speak properly! If it were you, what would you do? ]
Xiao Shiqiu: [It depends on who you plan to side with.]
Me: [If it really comes to a divorce, I hope it will be a fair divorce.]
I slowly calmed down. If he had planned this in advance, I was afraid my mother would be caught off guard.
Me: [I want to hide this from my mom first to test whether my dad is planning on getting a divorce.]
Xiao Shiqiu: [What do you need me to do?]
Me: [Can I check my dad's assets? He used his marital assets to support a mistress and illegitimate child. This is unfair to my mom, and I don't think that woman would be willing to be his lifelong mistress. Perhaps they're waiting for an opportunity.]
But what was this opportunity? With my intelligence, I'm afraid I can't think of it.
