Chapter 441 You are not married, she is not married
Duan Jingxing was stunned. Duan Anrao's words were actually telling him that his good brother had suffered an unforgivable betrayal.
The reason why it is called betrayal is not because Duan Jingxing has feudal ideas and believes that since his good brother has died, his wife should remain faithful to him for the rest of her life and not remarry.
It was because when he first met his good brother's mother and daughter, the child's birth date given by the other party was about six months after his brother's death.
Later, out of caution, he sent people to check the hospital where the other party mentioned that she gave birth that year. The time given in the retrieved files was indeed consistent with what she said. Duan Jingxing naturally assumed that the woman's child was his brother's child.
But now, after hearing what Duanrao said, he ruled out the possibility that someone inside the hospital helped her tamper with the files. The only possibility was that the woman had cheated on his brother when he was alive!
When he thought of this possibility, Duan Jingxing became so angry that he saw stars and could not even stand steadily.
Duan Changqing frowned slightly upon seeing this, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull him up. Even he was surprised that there was such a big old melon hidden in here!
“This…how is this possible?”
"How is it impossible? Otherwise, why do you think your brother's parents died in the earthquake, but she only disappeared with her child? That's because she had already run away with someone before the earthquake. Because of this strange combination of circumstances, she was able to save her life and elope with her adulterer and run away."
"But the good times didn't last long. Because she gave birth to a daughter, she was soon rejected by the adulterer. The two of them stumbled together for two or three years, and eventually the adulterer found another lover and kicked them out of the house together."
Duanrao was quite emotional when he talked about this.
[So, a person without moral integrity and no bottom line can elope with you today for the so-called love, regardless of your married status, and he can naturally abandon you for another woman tomorrow. However, birds of a feather flock together, and this woman is not a good person either. It can only be said that your retribution is his, and his retribution may not be you. ]
"Just at this time, she accidentally learned about your relationship with her husband, and when she looked at her daughter, she began to have other thoughts."
"You mean she deliberately disguised her daughter with the adulterer as my brother's daughter in order to get more things from me?"
"To be honest, if you didn't have this daughter, would you be as good to them as you are now?"
Duan Jingxing was speechless, if it weren't for that child, he would still take care of his brother's widow, but it would be impossible for him to do everything with all his heart, and it would be even more impossible for him to ask for everything from them like he did now.
Moreover, we have to admit that some demands that may seem snobbish when spoken by adults are much more acceptable when spoken by children.
After being awakened by Duan Anrao, Duan Jingxing almost immediately realized that he had unknowingly agreed to the mother and daughter's somewhat excessive requests over the years.
"Of course, for some greedy people, their appetite can only grow bigger and bigger, but it can never be fully satisfied. The mother and daughter's initial purpose may have been to seek shelter in your brother's name so that they and their daughter could live a good life again. But your kindness to them over the years has successfully made their appetites bigger.
Look, you are a widower, she is a widower, you are unmarried, she is unmarried, isn't this a perfect match? When Mrs. Duan, whom you married formally, has the Duan family's assets worth hundreds of millions, it is much better than being a so-called brother's widow and receiving small favors from others."
Duan Anrao's words successfully frightened Duan Jingxing so much that he trembled on the spot: "You... don't talk nonsense, my son is still here!"
Duan Jingxing said this and quickly turned to his son and said, "Son, you must believe in Dad. Dad absolutely has no thoughts about that woman beyond the brotherly love."
Duan Changqing looked at him indifferently: "What's the point of me trusting you?"
"How can it be useless? Your willingness to believe in dad is the greatest affirmation of dad!" Duan Jingxing held his son's hand miserably, trying to feel a little warmth of affirmation from his son.
However, he did not expect his son to pull his hand back coldly and ruthlessly, and gave him a cold look as if he was a fool: "I testify that what she said... is all true."
"What?" Duan Jingxing widened his eyes in surprise, unable to believe it.
Duan Changqing couldn't stand his father's stupid look, so he said disdainfully, "You may not have such thoughts, but that doesn't mean that woman doesn't have them. That woman came to see me several times in private, and every time she showed up, she deliberately said in front of me how good you were to them, mother and daughter, and hinted that she would soon become your wife, the new lady of the Duan family."
Duan Jingxing was completely shocked: "Is everything you said true? Why didn't you tell me before?"
Duan Changqing rolled his eyes at him again after hearing what he said: "Do you believe me when I tell you? How many times have I told you before that I hate that woman and the daughter she brought with her? What did you tell me again? You always say that they are the benefactors of our family. Without that little girl's father, there would be no you, no me. You told me to give in to them in everything and not to be too picky with them."
Duan Jingxing choked. He had indeed told the child this, and more than once.
But now thinking about it, it seems that it was from that time that the child gradually became estranged from him. At first, he thought that the child had reached his rebellious period. Suddenly, when he saw that he was nice to other children, he couldn't change his mentality and became a little angry.
So he treated the child extra well and bought him this and that. But the child not only did not reconcile with him, but became even more indifferent to him.
Duan Jingxing felt aggrieved before, but now that he knows the truth, he feels that this is not enough compensation at all. No wonder the child doesn't forgive him!
With the testimony of a heavyweight like Duan Changqing, 80% of what Duanrao just said can be said to have been accurately verified. As for the remaining 20%, it depends on the identity of the woman's daughter.
According to them, Duan Jingxing's brother's blood relatives are almost extinct, and it is almost impossible to find their DNA samples to do a paternity test with the girl.
[But the biological father of the child is not dead. As long as we can find him and do a paternity test with her, the answer will naturally come to light. ]
Although she thought so, Duan Anrao did not tell Duan Jingxing about her opinion. In her words...
[You could say that you were blinded by the life-saving grace before, but now you can't even think of this. There is no need for you to save your boss. Sooner or later, the company will go bankrupt. At most, you will lose your money and have to live on the streets with your son.]
Du Hexuan: Phew... you know what, it actually... makes quite some sense.
