Speaking of his late wife, Wei Chengye's face was filled with a rare tenderness. "At that time, I took our son to the ward to accompany my wife, which touched Shi Hong's heart. She told my wife that she had given birth to a daughter and was forced to give her away. Her condition progressed faster than my wife's, and she soon reached her deathbed. My wife felt sorry for her and asked her if she had any unfulfilled wishes, and we tried to help if we could. Shi Hong took out a birth certificate she had kept for a long time and asked me to pass it on to your father. She wanted to let your father know about the existence of that daughter."
"Then what?"
Tai Wu was completely emotional: "What is her purpose in doing this?"
Wei Chengye shook his head. "I'm not sure. She asked me for help, firstly because of my wife's favor, and secondly because she paid me, so naturally I had to do it for her. But I guess she didn't want her daughter to be recognized by your Tai family, because she never mentioned who she gave the child to, and even when my wife asked, she remained silent."
Shi Hong didn't want the Tai family to recognize their daughter.
As her life drew to a close, Shi Hong naturally reflected on her life. Pregnancy before marriage, dropping out of school to give birth, and giving her daughter up for adoption were all "hardships" she later declined to discuss. However, upon learning her own mortality, Shi Hong suddenly yearned deeply for her daughter, who had been given away.
If she died, who would remember her daughter?
Her life was already so miserable, how could the "contributor" who caused her to be like this have a happy family and a successful career?!
So Shi Hong wanted to let her ex-boyfriend Tai Zheng know that the child was not aborted!
Tai Zheng knew that he had a daughter but would never find her. This would naturally become a knot in his heart.
"Shi Hong said that your Tai family must value bloodlines very much, because when she got pregnant, your father panicked. Later, she learned about your father's family background and experienced life in society. Only then did she understand why your father was so panicked - if the Tai family knew she was pregnant with your father's child, your father would have had no choice but to marry her."
Wei Chengye's words left Tai Wu with no way to refute.
Tai Wu thought about the character of his grandfather at home and admitted that Shi Hong's analysis made sense.
If my grandfather knew that Shi Hong was pregnant with Tai's child, no matter how well-off Shi Hong's family was or whether Tai Zheng was willing or not, he would definitely force Tai Zheng to marry Shi Hong - not only the Tai family would do so, but the Xie family, the Zhang family or the Peng family would also do the same.
How could it be allowed to get a girl pregnant and not want to take responsibility in the social atmosphere at that time?
Therefore, it was not his family's opposition that prevented Tai Zheng from taking responsibility for Shi Hong, but Tai Zheng himself.
Tai Zheng only wanted to date Shi Hong and never thought about marrying her.
This campus romance could have ended naturally after both parties graduated, but Shi Hong's sudden pregnancy disrupted Tai Zheng's plan.
Tai Wu calculated his birth time in his mind and felt nauseous.
Shi Hong's daughter was born right after her mother became pregnant.
Shen Errong and Tai Zheng met through a blind date.
Six months before Tai Zheng was about to graduate from university, during the winter break, he met Shen Errong, a well-matched woman. At first, Tai Zheng might not have really liked Shen Errong, but marrying her was clearly more beneficial to his future development.
At that time, Shi Hong and Tai Zheng were still dating, and Tai Zheng had already started going on blind dates behind Shi Hong's back.
Tai Zheng had already made a choice in his mind, and after returning to school he found out that Shi Hong was pregnant.
Tai Zheng would naturally panic.
If word got back to the capital, not only would his relationship with Shen Errong end, but the Tai family would also force him to marry Shi Hong. Tai Zheng didn't want to marry Shi Hong, but he couldn't afford to lose Shen Errong, who was a perfect match for him. So he broke up with Shi Hong and asked her to have an abortion.
It was only after this that the school learned of Shi Hong's pregnancy, and Shi Hong dropped out of school and disappeared.
Tai Zheng graduated successfully, was assigned a job in Beijing, and then got married to Shen Errong. Shen Errong became pregnant during her honeymoon. Calculating the time, the daughter born to Tai Wu and Shi Hong was only about one year apart in age!
"Then, Lawyer Wei, you followed Shi Hong's wishes and found the Tai family. You made it known to everyone that she had given birth to a daughter for my father."
Tai Wu sneered.
Doing so is certainly worthy of Shi Hong's last wish before his death. His mother Shen Errong is caught in the middle and feels so innocent!
Wei Chengye denied Tai Wu's accusations: "I went to the Tai family according to Shi Hong's last wish. Her last wish was to let Mr. Tai know that she had a daughter. I didn't want to annoy your mother, so I only went to Mr. Tai. At first, your mother didn't know about this. Later, when Mr. Tai learned that my wife had the same disease as Shi Hong, he offered to transfer my wife to the Capital Cancer Hospital. Your mother thought I was a friend of Mr. Tai and actively helped arrange for my wife to have surgery. She found out about this after my wife passed away. She must have been devastated at the time, so she brought you to me. She asked me a lot about Shi Hong and asked if I could find Shi Hong's daughter... She also consulted me about divorce."
Tai Chao, who was only a few years old at the time, was carefree and was having fun playing with other kids with his McDonald's hamburger. He had no idea how serious the conversation between Shen Errong and Wei Chengye was a few tables away!
