“The woman he was seeing was my eldest daughter. After my divorce, my eldest daughter wasn’t doing well, so he blamed me for it.”
Shen Yu Nong's voice was extremely low.
Zhou Yunfeng was so angry that he could hardly breathe.
"You're not lying to me, are you? Your eldest daughter seduced Wei Jingshen, made him take revenge on you, and became her sister's mistress?"
Shen Yunong nodded silently: "I have no other choice. Otherwise, you can divorce me. But divorce won't solve everything. We already have three children, and... isn't Xiaoxiao very important to you?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yunfeng's expression changed several times.
When Zhou Yunfeng first met Shen Yunong, he only intended to have some fun with her.
Shen Yunong knew that lying would only sow the seeds of deeper trouble for herself.
At the time, she was working at a noodle shop near the best university in the city while also taking Zhou Xiaoxiao with her.
Before long, everyone knew that she was a single mother, struggling to make a living while raising her daughter.
Given the conservatism of that era, Shen Yunong garnered a lot of attention. Everyone knew that there was a beautiful waitress at the nearby noodle shop who was divorced.
As for the reason for the divorce, Shen Yunong truthfully told everyone that Jiang Yubai not only cheated on her but also beat her.
Others naturally felt great sympathy for her.
She was very pure and beautiful, and gradually she attracted suitors.
Shen Yunong, unwilling to settle for mediocrity, set her sights on Zhou Yunfeng.
At that time, the Zhou family was not so wealthy. Zhou Yunfeng was just the son of a nouveau riche, but he already had many followers and friends.
At that time, he was pursuing a particularly beautiful girl in college, who was the same type of beauty as Shen Yunong.
Unfortunately, he was busy studying to achieve his ideals and didn't pay any attention to Zhou Yunfeng at all.
Zhou Yunfeng was heartbroken and dejected, and Shen Yunong took advantage of his vulnerability.
Zhou Yunfeng was about the same age as Shen Yunong, and was even a year older than Shen Yunong. He was forced by his father to take the college entrance exam for several years before he was finally admitted.
However, there is some basis to the saying that "others become bad when they have money."
At least Zhou Yunfeng had long been naturally gifted with women.
The man was in love, and the woman was interested; like dry tinder and a raging fire, they were ready to ignite at any moment.
He originally intended to use Shen Yunong as a stepping stone, and then kick her out once he found a wife of equal social standing.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yunong was a very skilled player at that time, and Zhou Xiaoxiao was both cute and lively.
Zhou Yunfeng actually developed some feelings for the two of them.
He would definitely not be willing to marry a divorced woman who had given birth to two daughters.
The turning point came from a fortune teller who happened to be passing by.
He said that Zhou Xiaoxiao's birth chart was auspicious for Zhou Yunfeng, and if he adopted her as his daughter, his future career would definitely be smooth sailing.
After he finished speaking, he left. I heard that he was from Hong Kong Island and had some connections. He was just staying in this city for a short time.
Zhou Yunfeng later investigated him, fearing it was Shen Yunong's doing.
The problem is that Zhou Yunfeng did encounter a lot of good things after getting to know Shen Yunong and her daughter.
Shen Yunong isn't that powerful yet; she can't interfere in the Zhou family's internal affairs.
Zhou Yunfeng became increasingly convinced.
Shen Yunong's offensive was also extremely fierce.
She was so beautiful, gentle, kind, and pitiful that Zhou Yunfeng eventually succumbed to her charms.
With a mix of factors, and the fact that the Zhou family wasn't as wealthy at the time, Zhou Yunfeng successfully married Shen Yunong.
Of course, his parents were very angry and had many disagreements with him.
But Zhou Yunfeng found that his career was going much more smoothly.
So he became even more convinced of what that person said.
Zhou Xiaoxiao also became the apple of his eye.
You have to understand that he used to be a good-for-nothing. He has an older brother and a younger brother, so logically, it shouldn't be his turn to inherit the family business.
But he was the one who ultimately emerged victorious.
It's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't.
Over time, everyone knew that the eldest daughter of the Zhou family was not to be trifled with, and the elders kept silent about the truth that Zhou Xiaoxiao was not Zhou Yunfeng's biological child.
After all, it happened decades ago. If people don't bring it up, it would be a real downer.
Zhou Yunfeng regained his composure at the mention of Zhou Xiaoxiao.
He knew that the child was unruly, and that it was because he had spoiled him.
Later, Shen Yunong did give birth to two more sons for him, but apart from being mischievous, they did nothing good.
Zhou Xiaoxiao is simply a lucky star; Zhou Yunfeng has long treated her like his own daughter.
That's why he doesn't want to kick Shen Yunong away for the time being.
Anyway, when he went out to find women, she didn't cry or make a fuss. She was also very tactful and knew to warn those women not to think about getting pregnant, thus relieving Zhou Yunfeng of his worries.
In short, Zhou Yunfeng will not consider divorce unless absolutely necessary.
Wei Jingshen's falling in love with Shen Yunong's eldest daughter was something he found utterly absurd.
After the two got married, Zhou Yunfeng explicitly forbade Shen Yunong from having any further contact with her previous partners.
Accepting the mother and daughter was his limit; he didn't want to have any further connection with people from those poor, remote areas.
"How did your eldest daughter get in touch with him?" Zhou Yunfeng asked another question.
The thought of this made Shen Yunong feel a tightness in her chest.
She had no choice but to secretly send Zhou Xiaoxiao abroad. In order to maintain the engagement ceremony and save face for both families, Wei Jingshen found a stand-in and told her everything about her eldest daughter's situation.
After listening, Zhou Yunfeng's face darkened, he gritted his teeth, and remained silent for a long time.
Ultimately, the final knot lies with Zhou Xiaoxiao.
If she hadn't been so headstrong and left everyone hanging, there wouldn't have been so many twists and turns later on.
