Chapter 1204: The Meal Replacement Lady is Not Likeable (19)
Yuan Shichu looked at him quietly: "Do you think I'm easy to deceive? She is not your mistress, and the child is not yours. So you brought her back to acknowledge her identity and the child. Do you have a cuckold fetish? If it is not a cuckold fetish, but you help her tarnish her reputation and help her raise the child, then you must be deeply in love with her?"
When Zhan Shulin heard this, his face turned pale and he closed his eyes. Finally, he made up his mind and said directly: "You are so cruel and merciless to me... Forget it, I will tell you the truth.
I used to travel with my teacher for two years, during which time I met a close friend named Zhou Chong. Zhou Chong's wife was Liu. About half a year ago, Zhou Chong's entire family except Liu was killed by their enemies. Before he died, he tried his best to send his pregnant wife out, and told Liu to seek my help.
Zhou Chong wrote me a letter to tell me the whole story, and asked me to take care of his wife and unborn child. In order to prevent his enemies from knowing that his wife and child were still alive, he hoped that I could help cover up my identity...
I thought about it for a long time and felt that the identity of a concubine would be the easiest to conceal. On the one hand, it would completely dispel the suspicion of Zhou Chong's enemies, and on the other hand, it would also make it easier for me to take care of Zhou Chong's wife and children."
After Zhan Shulin finished speaking, he looked at Yuan Shichu with hope, hoping to see her expression of relief and forgiveness, so that she would stop hurting him and divorce him.
However, he was disappointed. Yuan Shichu was not happy about it. Instead, he looked at him with a mocking expression and said, "Zhan Shulin, do you think this is a smart move? Do you think you are particularly kind to your friends? Do you think this move is touching? Everyone should understand you? I also have to forgive you for "bearing humiliation and bearing heavy burdens", otherwise it would be selfish and narrow-minded, without any kindness?"
Zhan Shulin choked and shook his head quickly: "No, I don't think so..." When he saw Yuan Shichu's expression, he already felt that his behavior seemed inappropriate.
Yuan Shichu laughed sarcastically and said, "A man like you would be the kind of hypocritical person who would sacrifice his own child to replace his friend's child for some bullshit favor. He would sacrifice other people's lives to fulfill your bullshit friendship, right?"
Zhan Shulin's face turned red when he heard this, and he lowered his head, allowing Yuan Shichu to mock him.
"You are so great, the most righteous friend in the world, aren't you? You take such good care of your friend's wife and children! Have you ever thought that if your friend's wife is under your protection day by day, she will gradually fall in love with you and want to have sex with you? If that's the case, then can you be worthy of your friend?
If your friend's child doesn't know his true origins and thinks he is really your child, and then competes for favor with your other future children, or even fights among them... Don't say it's impossible. It's not uncommon for legitimate and illegitimate children of wealthy families in the capital to fight to the death. Would you like to see your friend's child fight to the death with your own biological child? Even if you explain it clearly to your friend's child later, can the hurt relationship still be intact? "
Yuan Shichu's series of questions made Zhan Shulin sweat on his forehead. The more he listened to Yuan Shichu, the more scared he felt. Yuan Shichu was not exaggerating, because he knew that these situations were very likely to happen. Therefore, he realized that he was really too confused and thought things were too simple.
"Also, if I didn't insist on divorcing you and moving out today, would you not have told me the truth and kept it secret from me forever?" Yuan Shichu asked him with a sneer.
Zhan Shulin nodded reluctantly: "I do think so..."
"Heh..." Yuan Shichu's face turned cold. "A hypocritical man like you, you have fulfilled your moral obligations to your friends, but you have no affection or respect for your wife. Have you ever thought about how your wife would feel if your husband suddenly brought a pregnant woman home one day and claimed that she was his mistress? Would she be shocked and heartbroken?
Later, for the sake of your friend, you will certainly show concern for this "concubine" and treat her well in every way. At that time, what position will you put your wife in? Will you favor the concubine over your wife? When the child is born and grows up, you will certainly take good care of him. In the eyes of your wife and legitimate children who are unaware of the situation, will you be partial to this "bastard"? Will this lead to hostility between the two sides? Will it cause unrest in the family?"
Zhan Shulin was so ashamed that he didn't dare to look Yuan Shichu in the eye. He realized now that he had thought everything was too simple. There were other ways to protect his friend's wife and children. Why did he choose the most complicated and rugged way, the one that would most likely leave him with trouble? Doing so would be very kind to his friend, but it would be very irresponsible to his wife and children.
"I was wrong..." He finally admitted his mistake sincerely, "I didn't think too much about it. I just thought I should bring her back, give her a place to live, and let her give birth to the baby. I didn't expect there would be so many troubles in the future."
"Zhan Shulin, to be honest, you really disappointed me this time. It made me start to carefully consider the necessity of divorcing you. I don't want to live with a husband who acts impulsively and recklessly for the rest of my life. The risks and troubles are too great." Yuan Shichu looked at him expressionlessly.
Zhan Shulin's heart suddenly tightened, he felt that she was serious now, if his answer made her dissatisfied, he would really lose her forever.
So he hurriedly grabbed Yuan Shichu's hand and said, "I'm sorry, I was too stupid and didn't think this through. I won't be so impulsive in the future. Please don't really want me..."
Yuan Shichu shook his hand away: "I don't want to see you now, can you leave and let me be quiet for a while?"
Zhan Shulin looked at her pleadingly: "Can you please promise me that you won't move out first? Don't divorce me, and then you can be as quiet as you want..."
Yuan Shichu sneered: "Are you bargaining with me?"
"No, no! I just don't want you to leave..." Zhan Shulin was annoyed and guilty, "Or you can punish me. No matter how you punish me, I can accept it as long as you don't leave."
Yuan Shichu looked at him, and finally shook his head, pointed at the door and said, "Go ahead."
Zhan Shulin had no choice but to go out. He stared at the door of the main room, sighed, scratched his hair, and his heart was in a mess. He still had to think of a suitable way to solve Liu's problem. He had already announced in front of the whole family that she was his mistress, which really made things several times more difficult. He regretted it so much that he really wanted to go back half a day ago and strangle the self-righteous self to death.
