"Mei Xue's husband, who is a man from a poor background, not only has a mistress but also an illegitimate daughter?"
"Didn't Mei Xue boast that they were the most loving couple in the world? Their illegitimate daughter is the same age as her daughter, and she hasn't noticed at all all these years?"
"They really thought they were in love. I knew it! Back then, when Mei Xue married someone else through an arranged marriage, her first love husband didn't seem to mind at all. Turns out he had someone else on the side too."
"Won't Mei Xue cry her eyes out now? She made a huge fuss about divorcing Ji Jianfei back then, and now she finds out that her first love is not even as good as Ji Jianfei. If I were her, I would be so embarrassed."
"That's right. The Ji family is at least wealthy. Whether it was when she got married or after the divorce, the Ji family gave her a lot. Over the years, her first husband has been supported by her."
"Not only is her first love supported by her, but her mistress and illegitimate daughter are also supported by her!"
"My relationship with my eldest son has soured because of my first love and daughter. I don't know if I regret it now."
The biggest gossip circulating among the wealthy in City A right now is Mei Xue's ridiculous marriage. As Mei Xue's arch-rival, Yuan Xiuxiu has contributed significantly to spreading the story, finally giving her an opportunity for revenge.
Who told her to be so lucky, just happened to run into Mei Xue catching her husband's mistress?
Qi Beisong is quite bold. He arranged for his mistress and illegitimate daughter to live near the school where he works. Mei Xue is really pitiful. Anyone with eyes can see that the girl is Qi Beisong's child. After all, her eyebrows and eyes look even more like Mei Jiao's, but Qi Beisong just won't admit it.
Mei Xue went to find evidence, but firstly, the other woman's mother did not agree to a paternity test; secondly, Qi Beisong did not spend much time with the mother and daughter, and the neighbors did not know him, so they could not testify for him; and thirdly, the mother and daughter's living expenses over the years were all given by Qi Beisong's mother and did not go through Qi Beisong's hands.
According to Qi Beisong's mother, it was her old friend's daughter who took pity on him and offered help.
So now that Mei Xue knows Qi Beisong is having an affair, she has no recourse other than threatening to divorce him. She doesn't even have a high chance of suing to get back the property from the mother and daughter, because all the property Qi Beisong has given to his mother over the years has been in the form of living expenses and retirement funds, and Mei Xue has always taken the initiative and agreed to it.
"Qi Beisong, how could you do this to me?" Mei Xue shouted angrily. Compared to the betrayal of money, what hurt her even more was the shattering of the myth of love that she had always held onto.
Qi Beisong remained silent, neither admitting nor denying anything. When Mei Xue brought up divorce, he simply said, "You should think it over carefully; it's up to you."
"Why, why have you kept lying to me? If you've already fallen in love with someone else, why did you still marry me?"
"Meixue, I've always loved you." Qi Beisong finally said his second sentence after "whatever."
Mei Xue laughed and cried at the same time: "If you loved me, why did you betray me?"
"Mei Xue, I am a man."
Mei Xue was struck dumb. Her lips trembled as she said, "So all these years you've eaten my food, used my things, and lived in my house, and it makes you feel like you've lost your dignity as a man? My daughter has my surname, so you feel like she's not your child anymore, right? But when I asked you about these things, didn't you agree to them? I was only doing it for Xiao Jiao's own good. I just wanted her to inherit more of the Mei family's wealth."
"Meixue, if you want a divorce, I can get a marriage certificate with you anytime."
"Divorce? You've been planning this all along, haven't you?" This was what devastated Mei Xue the most. In her life, she had never thought about divorcing Qi Beisong. Even when she discovered their affair, all she wanted was an explanation and an attitude from Qi Beisong, but he only wanted a divorce.
"Qi Beisong, speak up! Haven't you been planning to divorce me and live with her all along? All these years, you and your son have been plotting to seize my assets, isn't that what you were planning?"
Mei Xue's face twisted in a grimace: "Let me tell you, I won't let you have your way, Qi Beisong. I will never divorce you, no matter what. You want me to grant your wish? No way!"
Qi Beisong's expression remained indifferent: "Whether you divorce or not is up to you."
The more he acted this way, the angrier Mei Xue became. She smashed almost everything she could in the house. Not only that, she also wrecked the house she had specially bought for her mother-in-law.
"Mom..." Mei Jiao hugged her mother with teary eyes. She never thought that her family would go through such a thing. She always thought that her family was the happiest family and she was the happiest child. But reality told her that it was all just her father's deception.
"Mom, don't let Dad upset you and ruin your health, otherwise in the end they'll get what they want, and your property will become theirs too."
Mei Xue suddenly realized: "Yes, if something happens to Mom one day, your father will be the first heir. Mom will never divorce her to let that woman have her way. Mom will make a will now, and your father will have nothing to do with the property. Your grandmother can no longer scheme to give our money to them."
"Grandma is so heartless. Over the years, almost all the things we sent to her have gone to that mother and daughter! We're both her granddaughters, but is it just because I didn't take my father's surname?"
“Old hag, don’t even think about getting anything from me again. All of Qi’s relatives, get out of my house tomorrow.”
"But Mom, can we get the house that was transferred to Dad and Grandma's names back?"
"Mom will go find a lawyer now."
By the time Song Xia heard about the family conflict between Mei Xue and Qi Beisong, several days had passed. It happened at a gathering, and everyone brought it up as if it were a joke. Seeing her blank expression, they explained it to her in detail.
“I have some shares in the law firm that Mei Xue hired. I guess I can’t get back the property that has already been transferred to her mother-in-law. As for the property of the mistress and the illegitimate daughter, it was almost all given to her by her mother-in-law. The chances of getting it back through a lawsuit are slim. This family has been scheming from the very beginning. Qi Beisong is indeed a top student!”
"So Mei Xue is just going to suffer in silence? If you ask me, she'd be better off getting a clean divorce. What's the point of keeping a man like that around?"
"I guess she's just unwilling to accept it and wants revenge. Mei Xue has already made a will, and her property will have nothing to do with Qi Beisong anymore. She's already spent all her money, so she can't just give it all up too."
"Isn't this just asking for trouble?"
"As long as they don't get a divorce, she'll always be the mistress and the illegitimate daughter. Now Qi Beisong has lost his job because of her, and he'll have to live at her mercy from now on. Maybe that's what makes her happier!"
"Why hasn't Qi Beisong filed for divorce yet?"
"I guess they're just reluctant to part with it."
"What are you reluctant to part with? Love or Mei Xue's property?"
The group burst into laughter, their tone full of disdain. Song Xia was also filled with emotion; she truly hadn't expected this to happen. In retrospect, Mei Xue had really suffered a huge loss, and from now on, she would be ridiculed for it.
