Shen Jingyan gazed at her, waiting for her to tell her story.
Xue Hongmei only sobbed softly twice before turning her back to Shen Jingyan.
"Xue Yi's father is Zhou Zhengqing, right?" Shen Jingyan asked bluntly.
Xue Hongmei remained silent, pretending to be busy.
But since she had cleaned the kitchen spotless, she had nothing else to do but keep wiping the stove with a rag.

“Sister Hongmei, I don’t mean anything by it, I just want to help you get some justice.”
Shen Jingyan said sincerely, "It's quite a coincidence, it seems we are destined to meet. Haven't you been looking for Zhou Zhengqing for many years without success? It just so happens that I know him and know what kind of person he is. He also happens to be marrying my half-sister, and you just happened to come to my house as a nanny. Tell me, how can there be so many coincidences in the world? Isn't this God clearly helping you?"
Xue Hongmei finally broke down in tears, sobbing uncontrollably:
"Six years! I've been looking for him for six whole years! I never imagined that the next time I heard his name, it would be because he was going to marry someone else! He said he would marry me when he came back from his time in the countryside!"
Chen Jingyan raised his eyebrows.
Gu Zhiyun guessed correctly; this was yet another innocent woman whose feelings had been hurt by Zhou Zhengqing.
Xue Hongmei's tears flowed like a burst dam, and she desperately covered her mouth to suppress her sobs. Shen Jingyan took out a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.
She wasn't in a hurry to ask, because Xue Hongmei would eventually tell the truth.
Once the floodgates of six years of hardship and grievances are opened, how can they be taken back?
Shen Jingyan suddenly sighed, Shen Yuqin was still very lucky. Although she was also deceived by Zhou Zhengqing, she did not have a physical relationship with him.

Unlike Xue Hongmei, who was unmarried and struggling to raise her son, wasting six years of her youth for a vague promise.
“Sister Hongmei, let me tell you the truth, Zhou Zhengqing is no good. The place he was sent to was my hometown, the Northeast Forest Farm. He never worked properly and was always flirting with women. My second cousin was even engaged to him, but as soon as he heard the news that the educated youth were returning to the city, he abandoned my cousin and ran away.”
After returning to the city, his parents, hoping he would become a cadre in the future, set their sights on my family. You know my grandfather is a top aerospace expert, and the Zhou family wanted to form a marriage alliance with us, hoping to rise through the ranks based on my grandfather's reputation. However, our family disapproved of Zhou Zhengqing's behavior. But Xu Yatong was bewitched and insisted on marrying Zhou Zhengqing. We wanted to rescue her from this predicament, but we hadn't found a good way.
Xue Hongmei was a smart and insightful person. Looking into Chen Jingyan's sincere eyes, she asked:
"You mean, you want to take me and Xiaoyi to confront Zhou Zhengqing so that your sister can see what kind of person he really is?"
"If you help us, we will help you too."
Shen Jingyan bluntly stated, "Xiao Yi is a descendant of the Zhou family. They failed to fulfill their responsibility to take care of Xiao Yi and should compensate you."
Xue Hongmei hesitated and said, "This...will this work?"
Why not fight for your own rights?
"Can you let me think about it some more?"

Shen Jingyan wasn't in a hurry to get a definite answer right now, and readily nodded, saying, "Okay, this matter is indeed quite big. Think about it carefully."
Now that Xue Hongmei had acknowledged that Xue Yi was Zhou Zhengqing's child, there was nothing left for her to hide. In addition, Shen Jingyan's honesty moved her, and she told Shen Jingyan everything about how she met and fell in love with Zhou Zhengqing.
In the six months before Zhou Zhengqing graduated from high school and went to the countryside as an educated youth, he had nothing to do. He met Xue Hongmei when he was eating at a state-run restaurant.
At that time, Xue Hongmei was twenty-two years old, four years older than Zhou Zhengqing, and worked as a waitress in a state-run restaurant.
Her gentle and mature temperament attracted Zhou Zhengqing, who then tried his best to please her and pursue her. He had no shortage of money and often bought expensive gifts for Xue Hongmei.
Xue Hongmei was new to society and naive. She thought she had found someone to rely on for life and quickly gave herself to them.
Not long after, she discovered she was pregnant.
It was at this time that Zhou Zhengqing, in order to enhance his resume, volunteered to go to the countryside.
He gave Xue Hongmei fifty yuan and asked her to abort the child, promising to marry her after he returned from the countryside to compensate her for the pain of losing her child.
The naive Xue Hongmei believed she had found true love and couldn't bear to part with the little life in her womb. Despite her family's unanimous opposition, she insisted on giving birth to the child.

As a result, she became estranged from her family and almost severed all ties with them.
She waited and waited, hoping to give Zhou Zhengqing a big surprise when he returned to the city. Little did she know that this wait would last for six years.
She didn't even know that Zhou Zhengqing had returned to the city three years ago.
Therefore, she lost control of her emotions upon hearing the news that Zhou Zhengqing was going to marry Xu Yatong.
If Shen Jingyan hadn't told her about Zhou Zhengqing's actions, she would have foolishly thought that she was too lowly to be worthy of Zhou Zhengqing.
After listening to Xue Hongmei's account, Shen Jingyan felt that Zhou Zhengqing had completely crossed the line of morality.
How did he manage to make vows of eternal love when pursuing a girl, and then act so nonchalantly when abandoning her?
What's even more chilling is that Xue Hongmei, Shen Yuqin, and Xu Yatong may not be the only three surviving victims!
