Chapter 162: Save the adult or the child?
Zhou Xue looked up and her eyes went dark. She almost fell down.
"When did this little bitch seduce my dad? I can't let her succeed. I'm going to find my dad right now."
Just as she was about to turn around, the host came on stage with a microphone.
"Dear guests, thank you for waiting. Welcome to the wedding of Mr. Zhou Kunhao and Ms. Jiang Xianhui. Now let us invite the newlyweds to enter."
As the MC finished his words, there was applause from the audience and some people whistled.
After much anticipation, Zhou Kunhao slowly entered the venue, holding Jiang Xianhui's arm.
Although Zhou Kunhao is in his forties, money can support one. Wearing a suit today, he has the charm of a successful person.
Jiang Xianhui wore a white wedding dress with a long train and a faint smile on her face, looking extremely bright and gorgeous.
Everyone present couldn't help but praise him.
"Mr. Zhou and his young wife are a perfect match."
"Alas! Rich people finally get married, and poor people get to see it with their own eyes. I envy Mr. Zhou for being able to marry such a young and beautiful daughter-in-law."
"I wish the bride and groom a happy marriage and three little princes in one pregnancy!"
…
To Zhou Xue, other people's compliments were like stabbing a knife into her heart.
"dad!"
She strode onto the stage and glared at Zhou Kunhao angrily, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Kunhao didn't look happy, "Of course I'm married. Your mother has been gone for several years. Can't I remarry?"
"It's not that you can't remarry, but you must not marry Jiang Xianhui."
"What's wrong with Xiaohui? I was with Xiaohui before you married Wu Jianting. If you hadn't secretly got married to Wu Jianting, how could I agree to you marrying his morally corrupt peasant.
Zhou Xue, you better understand first come first served! Get out of here and don't force me to beat you in front of so many people."
Zhou Xue burst into tears and cried, "Go ahead and beat me to death. It is said that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. This stepmother hasn't even entered the house yet, and you want to beat me to death. You are my father, and you are so shameless as to marry my husband's ex-wife. I can't afford to lose this person. Just beat me to death."
“Pah!”
Zhou Kunhao actually slapped her hard, "You married Wu Jianting, do you think I can afford to throw him away?"
Zhou Xue covered her face, feeling a burning pain.
"How can it be the same? Jianting is a married man, so from now on he will be named Zhou and a member of our Zhou family."
"Bah!" Zhou Kunhao said coldly, "Who allowed him to marry into my family? I already have a son, do I need his last name Zhou? Don't think I don't know why he married you, isn't it just because of my money? If he marries into our family, his children will be able to inherit my property in the future. I tell you, you are dreaming.
Not to mention that even if your brother is here, Xiaohui and I will have children in the future, and the child Xiaohui gives birth to will be a member of my Zhou family! How can it be the Wu family's turn to inherit my family property? Just because he changed his surname, he can change his bloodline of the Wu family? This is just a lie, it will never happen to me. Get out of here quickly, don't delay my wedding."
Wu Jianting almost broke his teeth when he heard what Zhou Kunhao said.
But in this situation, no matter how much injustice he suffered, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it.
He didn't dare to confront Zhou Kunhao, but he dared to say that Jiang Xianhui was jealous.
He walked over, stared at Jiang Xianhui and said, "Jiang Xianhui, I know you are resentful of me for divorcing you and marrying Xiaoxue. You can hit me, scold me, and you can vent your resentment on me.
But why do you want to ruin the relationship between my father-in-law and Xiaoxue?"
Jiang Xianhui raised her hand and slapped him on the face.
"What? Are you trying to sow discord here? Wu Jianting, there is no need to beat around the bush when it comes to revenge. To be honest, I married Kunhao because he is rich, and because I wanted to hear you call me mom..."
Zhou Xue immediately said excitedly: "Dad, you heard what this little bitch said, she..."
“Pah!”
Before Zhou Xue could finish her words, Jiang Xianhui slapped her on the other side of the face.
"I have never offended you. Instead, you were the mistress between me and Wu Jianting, but you kept calling me a jerk. You deserve to be beaten!"
"Xue'er, Xue'er, are you okay?"
Wu Jianting quickly hugged Zhou Xue in his arms with a loving look on his face. His eyes were like fire as he glared at Jiang Xianhui.
"We are both decent adults. We should part ways amicably, even if you hate me. I beg you, just come at me, don't hit Xue'er, and don't cheat my father-in-law out of his money!"
Zhou Kunhao snorted coldly and said, "I am willing to let her cheat me out of money. There is only one Jiang Xianhui in the world, but there are tens of thousands of Zhou Kunhaos. She did not choose to cheat others, but chose to cheat me instead. This shows that she has me in her heart to some extent.
Besides, I am attracted to her because she is young and pretty, and she is attracted to me because I am rich, that's great. If she says she is not attracted to me at all, but is attracted to my old face, then I should be afraid.
At least she is not a hypocritical person like you. Do you dare to say that you are after money?"
"I……"
Wu Jianting's face turned pale and blue, but he finally said hypocritically, "I am sincere to Xue'er."
"Get lost!"
Zhou Kunhao raised his leg and kicked Wu Jianting down.
"ah……"
He covered his chest and sweated profusely from the pain.
"Jianting, Jianting..."
Zhou Xue hurried to help Wu Jianting, not caring about stopping her father and Jiang Xianhui's wedding.
Zhou Xue was unwilling to give up. After helping Wu Jianting sit down, she said to Zhou Yu, "Brother, you just watched Dad marry this slut and watched her cheat all of Dad's money? All the assets of the Zhou family should have been yours!"
Zhou Yu took a sip of wine in a carefree manner, "It's going to rain, and my father is getting married, what can I do? Go and make a scene, and then get slapped like you, and let all the guests laugh at me?"
"But...but...brother, how can my husband's ex-wife be my father's wife?"
Zhou Yu said impatiently, "Well, the old man is now bewitched by her. All the important people in Haiping City are here today. If you continue to make trouble, it will only make him angrier. Why don't you just have a good meal and wait for Jiang Xianhui to come in? Are you still worried about not being able to deal with her?"
Zhou Xue thought about it and realized that this was the truth.
Then he said, "Well, I will make this little bitch regret it!"
At another table, Jiang Xianli looked at the table full of dishes with a smile on her face.
The Zhou family is truly worthy of being the richest family; all of their dishes are made with top-quality ingredients.
Even dragon crab and king crab are available.
Xie Jingcheng knew that she liked to drink soup, so he came up and served her a bowl of chicken soup.
"Eat more."
"Yeah, you too."
Jiang Xianli picked up a piece of sweet and sour fish and said, "It tastes really good."
Wu Peng also kept picking up food for Jiang Xianhong, "Wife, eat."
Jiang Xianming said with emotion: "I have never had such a good banquet in my life. This twenty yuan gift was not in vain."
Jiang Xianhong smiled and said, "It's my first time eating this too. Xianming, don't just eat by yourself, pick some food for Yuanyuan as well."
"Okay, okay." Jiang Xianming is usually honest and a little silly. He never says sweet words and is not very clingy either.
But Ding Yuanyuan liked this aspect of him, and he was obedient, and only people like him could live a stable life.
Soon, the bride and groom toasted to their table.
As soon as Wu Peng remembered, Zhou Kunhao pushed him down.
"From now on, you are all my brothers and sisters. Even though I can't call you brothers and sisters, at least we are equal in status. You don't have to stand."
Jiang Xianhui poured the wine and Zhou Kunhao toasted.
But when Zhou Kunhao faced a table of people who were twenty years younger than him, he felt a little embarrassed.
He shouted to Zhou Yu, "Son, come here."
Zhou Yu came over reluctantly, "What are you doing?"
"Give your uncle, aunt, and uncle a toast."
"What?" Zhou Yu really wanted to curse, "You're getting married and you want me to toast you?"
"Hurry up, stop talking nonsense."
Zhou Yu knew that if his father got angry, he would not even have a penny for pocket money.
So even though he was reluctant, he still picked up the glass.
"Uncle, let me toast you first."
Jiang Xianming was surprised and flattered, "Okay, okay, thank you, nephew."
"Pfft..." Jiang Xianli almost couldn't hold back her laughter. Her brother was taking it seriously.
Since Zhou Yu didn't know Jiang Xianming and Jiang Xianhong, the toast wasn't that awkward.
But when he toasted to Jiang Xianli and Xie Jingcheng, he bit his back teeth.
"Second Aunt, Second Uncle, I respect you."
As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you. Jiang Xianli said nothing and drank it all in one gulp.
Xie Jingcheng glanced at him with a half-smile, "Okay, nephew."
Zhou Yu was immediately furious, "Xie Jingcheng, don't go too far!"
Xie Jingcheng looked at Zhou Kunhao again, "Brother-in-law, am I going too far?"
"No, no." Zhou Kunhao reached out and hit Zhou Yu. "No matter how much grudge you had with him in the past, he will be your second uncle from now on, and it is natural for him to call you nephew. Besides, if you call him second uncle, he will not let you down. When you walk in Haiping in the future, will your second uncle not protect you?"
His son may be stupid, but he is not. The future of Haiping City's business community is definitely decided by Xie Jingcheng.
He has always been afraid that when he gets old, his son will not be able to support the family.
It would be great if Xie Jingcheng could really treat his son as his nephew. At least their Zhou family would not fall in his son's hands, and even if they did, they would not starve to death.
"Hmph!" Zhou Yu put down his wine glass and walked away angrily.
He must have killed Xie Jingcheng's entire family in his previous life, which is why he has been suppressing me all my life!
After the banquet, we left the hotel.
Tian Cuiping deliberately cursed in front of Jiang Xianli and the others: "How can there be such a shameless person in this world? She actually married a man who is more than 20 years older than her for money, and he is the father-in-law of her ex-husband.
If I had a girl like this, a sister like this would be so embarrassed that she would dig a hole and bury herself in it."
Jiang Xianhui was scolded, so Jiang Xianli naturally would not speak for her.
But Jiang Xianhong felt uncomfortable.
I couldn't help but say, "Auntie Tian, it was your whole family who bullied Xiaohui first, and it was Wu Jianting who cheated first. Xiaohui remarried only after she divorced him. What do you mean by humiliating her again and again? Does your Wu Jianting have shame because he is kept by a rich woman? Do you have shame because your whole family spends his wife's money?
It's not your fault that you can't read, but if you curse, you deserve to be slapped in the face!"
Tian Cuiping straightened her back and raised her head, saying, "Why, you still want to hit me? I'll let you hit me. Like sister, like sister. You think you're a good thing? You got pregnant with another man before you got divorced. You Jiangs are just lacking in education!"
"What are you talking about, you bitch?"
Wu Peng raised his hand and slapped Tian Cuiping on the face.
"Ah...ah..." Tian Cuiping screamed, "Someone is beating me up. Come and see, I'm being beaten to death..."
When Wu Jianqiang saw his mother being beaten, he became angry.
But he didn't dare to hit Wu Peng, and instead punched Jiang Xianhong.
"ah……"
Jiang Xianhong fell to the ground, cold sweat pouring down his face.
"sister!"
"Honghong!"
Jiang Xianli and Wu Peng ran towards Jiang Xianhong at the same time.
Jiang Xianhong covered her stomach, her face pale, "My stomach hurts so much."
As soon as she finished her words, blood oozed out from her lower body.
At this time Jiang Xianhui also ran over from the hotel, "Sister, sister, what's wrong with you?"
Wu Peng picked up Jiang Xianhong and his eyes turned red with heartache.
"Don't be afraid, Honghong. I'll take you to the hospital right now."
Xie Jingcheng and Jiang Xianli went to the hospital together.
Jiang Xianhui turned around and went into the hotel's kitchen without saying a word.
When she came out, she had a kitchen knife in her hand.
"Tian Cuiping, Wu Jianqiang, you and your son actually dared to beat my eldest sister. I want you to pay for your blood debt!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised the kitchen knife and chopped Wu Jianqiang on the shoulder.
"ah!!!"
Blood splattered everywhere, and Wu Jianqiang's miserable howl reached the sky.
When Jiang Xianhui pulled out the knife and was about to chop at Tian Cuiping again, Zhou Kunhao hugged her from behind.
"Xiao Hui, Xiao Hui, don't be impulsive. Murder is against the law. You don't need to go to jail for scum like them. Leave it to me. I will definitely not let your elder sister's blood be shed in vain."
Jiang Xianhui looked at him, then looked at Wu Jianqiang who was covered in blood, and Tian Cuiping who was trembling behind Wu Jianting. She took a few deep breaths and then put down the kitchen knife.
"I want to go to the hospital to see my elder sister."
"Okay, okay, I'll send a car to take you there."
…
In the hospital, Jiang Xianli and the others were anxiously waiting at the door of the operating room.
After a while a doctor came out.
"Who are the mother's family members?"
"Yes, I am." Wu Peng's voice was trembling.
"The woman is having a difficult labor and is bleeding heavily. Only one can be saved. Should I save the woman or the child?"
Wu Peng's face immediately turned pale. "Save them all, doctor, I beg you, save them all."
"It's impossible to save them. Make a decision quickly. If you delay, I'm afraid that both adults and children will not be saved."
“Then…then…”
Wu Peng was so anxious that tears welled up in his eyes. If the child in Jiang Xianhong's belly was his, he would have guaranteed the birth without hesitation.
But that was not her child, so what right did he have to make decisions for Jiang Xianhong?
Just then, Jiang Xianli stood up.
She said solemnly, "Brother-in-law, what are you thinking? Of course you have to protect my sister! If you lose a child, you can still have another one. If my sister is gone, she will be gone forever."
No matter who the child belongs to, she will protect her sister!
