Zhang Xinyue thought to herself that she was already over forty years old. Not only could she not look as good as young girls, but she could no longer even have children.
Although Chen Bangrui is over forty years old, he looks very elegant and doesn't look old at all; he still looks very charming.
Once a woman is over forty, no matter how carefully she takes care of herself, she will no longer be as youthful as before. If she really gets divorced, Chen Bangrui can easily find a young and beautiful girl, while she will find it difficult to get married.
Even if she could marry into a family with a better background than the Chen family, they wouldn't want her. And if the Chen family wasn't as well-off, why should she marry into one and become a laughingstock?
Zhang Xinyue couldn't bear the thought of her friends talking about her with pity. Wenwen was also a proud and ambitious girl. It was a small matter if this incident affected her studies, but if it prevented her from marrying into a good family, then her life would be over...
Since Chen Bangrui has already bowed his head and admitted defeat, Zhang Xinyue has made up her mind to let it go this time.
Seeing that she had thought it over, Zhang Xinyue's sister-in-law rolled her eyes and continued, "Second sister, you mustn't make a mistake in this matter. You can't make room for someone else. If you're really angry with your husband, you absolutely can't get a divorce. Otherwise, if he finds another young girl, wouldn't that be a bargain for an outsider? What if that girl has a child? That child would be a legitimate member of the Chen family, and Ya Wen would have nothing left. Li Hehua comes from a poor background and is easy to manipulate. She can't cause any trouble. Besides, that little bastard is still young. Life is long, and who knows if something unexpected will happen or if he gets seriously ill along the way?"
“Men, whoever gives their money to, that’s where their heart is. Think about it, hasn’t Bangrui always entrusted you with all the financial power?” Zhang Xinrong also advised.
"We're family after all; you all think of me in every way." Zhang Xinyue felt much better after hearing these words, and at the same time, she secretly made a decision.
"Sister, come over early tomorrow to keep me company. They should all be back by tomorrow, and I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back," Zhang Xinyue said to Zhang Xinrong.
“No problem, I’ll come to keep you company as soon as I get up tomorrow.” Zhang Xinrong nodded in agreement.
Zhang Xinyue's sister-in-law's last words gave her other ideas. Yes, with Chen Huibo in the family, even if the child was truly a Chen family heir, having another person vying for favor would mean who knows what that troublemaker Chen Huibo would do to this little brother…
Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared on Zhang Xinyue's lips.
That evening, Chen Bangrui was again incredibly attentive and gentle to Zhang Xinyue, and the two were once again rekindled in their youth. Afterwards, Chen Bangrui made numerous promises to her, and Zhang Xinyue blushed, then nodded, indicating that she would not pursue the matter further this time. [△Net]
Zhang Xinrong arrived at dawn the next day and had breakfast with Zhang Xinyue.
For the first time ever, Chen Bangrui served Zhang Xinyue food and rice during breakfast. After they finished eating, he even offered to take them out to buy some things, showing Zhang Xinyue a lot of face in front of Zhang Xinrong.
However, Zhang Xinyue was in no mood for this and refused outright. Chen Bangrui looked at Zhang Xinyue's still somewhat unhappy face and didn't bother to argue; it was all her own fault.
In the evening, the Chen family elders and Li Hehua returned with the child. This was the first time Li Hehua had stepped into this gate in more than two years.
Li Hehua, holding her son, kept looking out the window as soon as she got on the bus. The driver was heading towards the Chen family's house, and a doubt flashed through her mind: why was it going to the Chen family's house?
She thought the car was just passing by, but to her surprise, it was actually heading towards the Chen family's house. A sudden fantasy popped into Li Hehua's mind: Had Chen Bangrui driven Zhang Xinyue away so he could openly bring her and her son back? Was she about to become the mistress of the house?
As she thought about it, Li Hehua felt a surge of joy. She hugged her son, who was sucking his thumb, tightly, straightened her back, raised her head, and adopted the typical hostess posture that Zhang Xinyue was known for.
After getting off the bus, he stood tall and followed behind the Chen family elders, walking forward with an air of importance.
Li Hehua, carrying her child, entered the living room and immediately met Zhang Xinyue's murderous gaze. Li Hehua trembled and instinctively looked at Chen Bangrui, then called out sweetly, "Bangrui."
Li Hehua had expected her lover to give her a loving look back, but Chen Bangrui gave her a disgusted glance, making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave. The words "Look how much your son misses you" stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.
"Li Hehua, I'm asking you, is Haoxuan really my biological son?" Chen Bangrui said angrily.
"Bangrui, this child looks exactly like you. This must be your child. Are you sure you're not just talking nonsense?" Li Hehua said in a panic.
"Pah, shameless vixen, still pretending now." Before Zhang Xinyue could speak, Zhang Xinrong pulled her aside, then jumped out and cursed first.
When Li Hehua saw Zhang Xinrong there, she immediately asked, unaware of the situation, "Sister Rong, is Auntie alright?"
Zhang Xinrong's mother-in-law was Li Hehua's distant cousin. Back then, when Li Hehua came to work as a nanny in the Chen family, it was Zhang Xinrong's mother-in-law who forced Zhang Xinrong to send her over.
I never imagined this would be like letting a wolf into the house.
"Who's your sister? Don't you even know if you're worthy?" Zhang Xinrong's vulgar words made the two elders of the Chen family and Chen Bangrui frown.
Actually, Zhang Xinrong was quite well-mannered before she got married, but she was tormented by her mother-in-law for many years, and she became increasingly sharp-tongued.
“You can look down on me and humiliate me, but you can’t just spout nonsense and say that this child isn’t from the Chen family!” Li Hehua immediately wondered if they had said something to Chen Bangrui.
"Li Hehua, do you think nobody knows about the dirty deeds you've done? Who is Yang Dazhuang?" Zhang Xinrong sneered.
When Li Hehua heard the name Yang Dazhuang, her eyes widened and her hands tightened involuntarily. The child in her arms burst into tears. It turned out that Li Hehua had squeezed too hard and hurt the child she was holding.
“I don’t know him. I’ve never heard of Yang Dazhuang or Wang Dazhuang.” Li Hehua was startled by the child’s crying.
“You’re really stubborn as a mule. Since you won’t admit it, I’ll find him. I heard he’s out and is looking for you everywhere. You don’t know him, so you don’t know if he recognizes you.” Zhang Xinrong continued to press Li Hehua.
"No!" Li Hehua cried out in terror, then tightly covered her mouth, her eyes wide with fear as she glanced at Chen Bangrui.
