Genji"s eyes widened in shock when she heard her husband"s statement.
"What...are you...talking about?" She stammered and tried to get up but she was too shocked to the point where she couldn"t.
Weiyoung who was still reeling from the pain on her lower abdomen as a result of their little brawl also looked on in confusion. What did he mean by raising another Man"s child? Was he referring to the fact that she was carrying Jinyong"s child?
Mr Liu began to laugh. He took a stick of cigarette from the packet on the table and lit it.
"Hey Wench!" He addressed Weiyoung. "Make sure your in-laws support us. They have been acting distant lately. I didn"t raise you and make you meet a nice family for nothing. It"s the least you could do for thus father of yours" He used a hand to tap his chest.
Weiyoung felt there was something wrong with the way he said it. Earlier, he wasn"t talking about the child she was carrying.
"What...are you implying?" She asked her father as she tried not to think about the pain she was feeling.
"You can ask your mother who your father is. He probably should be one of those disgusting pigs from the streets" He said in irritation before puffing out cigarette smoke from his mouth.
With shock written all over her face, Weiyoung turned to look at her mother.
Mr Liu chuckled when he saw their faces. He wasn"t as stupid as his wife had imagined.
Because of the kind of life he led in his younger days; his too much alcohol and drug intake, he was diagnosed with low sperm count.
He knew very well that he would not be able to father a child.
So when Cai Genji, the daughter of his family"s butler suddenly claimed that she was pregnant for him after they both had s.e.x a couple of times, he decided to play along and at the end, he got married to her.
He decided to turn a blind eye since he knew very well that he wouldn"t be able to father a child anyway.
To keep his pride, he had willingly agreed to marry her despite his family"s refusal, and had raised Weiyoung like his own daughter.
But now, the wild chicken was asking to cut ties with him?
"Mother. It"s not true right?" Weiyoung managed to ask hopefully. Her life was already so miserable. She didn"t want to hear something else like this. She didn"t want any more complications in her life.
"It"s really not true right?" She asked again.
"Wei...Wei...young don"t listen to him."
"..What do you think you are saying to your daughter?" Genji blew up at him.
"You two... The least you could do is to help this family. I already lost a lot. So I really do not mind telling the world how you brought in a wild chicken and claimed she was a Liu. If you want us to keep living like we"ve always had, then....."
He paused and dropped the cigarette b.u.t.t on the floor then, he trampled on it with his shoe before looking at Weiyoung.
"I do not care how you do it. Even if you have to grovel and beg that girl and CEO Li. Even if you have to become a slave for the Mo family. Whatever it is, you have to do it. Else, everyone is going to hear about it. And we"ll all die together. No one escapes."
He threatened. "You dare ask to be treated like Mr w.a.n.g treats his daughter?" He scoffed and shook his head before leaving the apartment.
Weiyoung was stupefied. She was suddenly beginning to feel dizzy coupled with the pain she was experiencing.
What just happened? Was she beginning to hear things?
She tried to stand up but the pain she felt on her back and lower abdomen did not enable her do so.
"Wei...don"t listen to him. He is spouting nonsense" Her mother managed to say. She had been in a state of panic the entire time. She had to make sure Weiyoung didn"t believe what he was saying.
Many years ago when she visited the Liu family house to run an errand for her father, she had accidentally b.u.mped into Weiyoung"s father then.
She didn"t go there often. She had only gone there to deliver a parcel to her father which he had forgotren at home.
She had no mother. Her mother died when she was just fifteen in a hit and run accident. She only had her father who tried his best to support her but he wasn"t always around since he was always in the Liu family"s house.
After she met Weiyoung"s father that day, she set her plan in motion to have him to herself.
As the only son of the Liu family plus the fact that he was good looking, she made up her mind to seduce him.
She believed their poverty was going to end if only she could get herself into the family and she had done just that.
After discreetly meeting with him a couple of times, her plan finally worked and they both had s.e.x.
After the first, second and third time, nothing still happened.
She still didn"t get pregnant even though they had both done it without protection.
She began to feel something was wrong. But she didn"t know where the problem lied.
Meanwhile, the man who had helped her with her plans asked for his payment in "kind" which she easily obliged to.
When she realised later that she was pregnant, she was delighted. It had been her plan all along. She guessed the child was likely not a Liu but she pushed every other thought out of her head and decided to keep pus.h.i.+ng forward.
"I...am not his daughter?" Weiyoung asked with wide eyes.
"You are his daughter. Only believe what I tell you" She hurriedly corrected.
"So I"m his daughter?" Weiyoung asked with hopeful eyes.
Genji nodded with all her might. "You are. You are a Liu. Don"t listen to him or anybody else. I am your mother and only I can tell you who your father is."
"Weiyoung... You have to do what he says. You have to go beg that girl and CEO Li. You have to do whatever it takes to help this family. You don"t want us to be thrown out into the streets do you? This house is going to be taken from us soon. We can only depend on you" Genji cried her eyes out as she pleaded with her daughter.
Weiyoung used her hands to cover her face. Why was everything so messed up?
She bit her lower lip and allowed her tears to flow freely.
"I am a Liu... I am a Liu" She repeated over and over again.
No matter what, she had to believe her mother.
