Chapter 1005 He May Not Be My Son
Qiao Nan was right. Wei De’s feelings toward her were not true. Wei De’s target was the Zhai family that she came from and the benefits that she, the daughter of the Zhai family, could give him.
He was such a person. How did she become so blind to take a fancy to him in the past?
“Hua Hua, I… I know that I have made you upset. Tell me. No matter what you say, I will agree to them as long as you can forgive me. Hua Hua, I can’t do without you.” Wei De was full of regrets. “Hua Hua, actually, you also know that I have been in the army for such a long time. It has been a few years. There is limited time for me to go home. Wei Wei may not really be my son. I am obliging as they are my family. I was thinking… Whether Wei Wei is my son or nephew, it is fine for me to support and raise a child if I have the capability to do so. Hua Hua, please don’t misunderstand me.”
Right, Wei Wei might not definitely be his son.
Many years ago, he and she only slept once after the wedding banquet in the hometown. The next morning, he returned to the army camp.
Some time later, his mother contacted him and told him that she was pregnant. Eventually, she even gave birth to a son for him.
He only slept with her once. How could she possibly have conceived then?
“Hua Hua, how could you not understand my love and feelings for you? If not… my reputation won’t sound good. If I have not been too softhearted and taken on this muddled debt, Wei Wei would not even have a chance to grow up. He would have been drowned by the saliva of the people in my hometown. After all, two lives were at stake. Hua Hua, we are both soldiers. You will understand me, right?”
Wei De had been explaining himself. He did not know that the more he talked, the more he made mistakes, and the less he talked, the less he would make mistakes.
Such an explanation did not soften Zhai Hua’s heart. It would only make Zhai Hua hate him all the more.
“I’ve seen shameless people but I’ve never seen anyone as shameless as you. I really suspect if I have been blinded by a ghost!” Zhai Hua cried. Her cries were extremely miserable and loud.
She was crying not because of the relations.h.i.+p between her and Wei De. It was purely for her stupidity and blindness in the past.
“No wonder Qiao Nan said that I’m lucky that I am not her daughter. Otherwise, she would bash me up first due to this matter.” Having said that, Zhai Hua turned merciless. She slapped herself twice on the face with all her might.
The deafening sound of the slaps shocked Zhai Yaohui and Zhai Sheng. The father-and-son pair quickly and respectively held on to Zhai Hua’s left and right hand tightly.
Zhai Hua was really feeling hateful. She hated herself for taking a fancy to such a man. Earlier on, she had wholeheartedly wanted to marry Wei De. Her heart ached for Wei De as he was not young anymore and also childless. Moreover, Mother Wei was old and could not fulfill her only wish of having a grandchild.
She cared so much for the Wei family but Wei De did not care about her and the Zhai family.
She was a good-for-nothing, yet she flared up and had conflicts with her own family. She had angered her family.
As she thought of it, Zhai Hua’s blood pressure increased and her face swelled and turned red.
“Sister Zhai Hua, take a deep breath. Take a deep breath. Come on. Slowly. Take a long and deep breath.” Zhai Hua’s face was so red that it was turning purplish. Qiao Nan was terrified. She jumped and quickly patted Zhai Hua’s chest.
“Hua Hua, don’t behave like this. My heart aches for you. Don’t make things difficult for yourself. How will you like me to change? I will listen to everything that you say.” Wei De was also shocked. The body const.i.tution of a soldier should be better than the average person.
However, they were not ordinary soldiers. They carried out various kinds of missions. As such, who did not have any minor pain or illnesses?
Zhai Hua was so furious that she had a relapse. How could Wei De not panic?
Zhai Sheng narrowed his eyes and immediately gave Wei De a kick to increase the distance between them.
Until now, Zhai Sheng did not expect that he would be deceived by Wei De’s personal profile.
When he thought of it, Wei De lied to Zhai Hua fearlessly because of that profile.
When Zhai Hua was able to breathe normally, Qiao Nan sat down. Miao Jing then pa.s.sed the investigation report of Wei De to Qiao Nan and let the latter read it.
When Qiao Nan opened the official doc.u.ment, she read rapidly and finally gathered a clear understanding of Wei De’s situation.
Qiao Nan’s sixth sense was right. Under the circ.u.mstances whereby a family already had difficulties filling their own tummies, who would have the time and effort to raise a child for someone else? Even if it was a child bride, it was not that easy.
This ‘younger sister’ and child bride of Wei De also had some background.
She was an illegitimate child of the village chief and a widow from the same village.
The village chief wanted to keep his current position. On the other hand, the widow wanted to remarry after giving birth to this daughter. All of a sudden, it was not appropriate for both the widow and the village chief to raise this child.
The widow took her luggage and left for her next family. Without a word, she dumped the child to the village chief, the biological father.
At that moment, only Wei De’s family had one child and it was a son.
When Mother Wei gave birth to Wei De, her health had been damaged and she could no longer give birth to any child.
Fortunately, Mother Wei gave birth to a son on her first pregnancy. As such, the Wei family did not react very strongly to this. They only felt regretful that there were too few people in Wei De’s generation.
Upon thinking, the village chief thought of gifting his daughter to the Wei family since Mother Wei could not have another child. In addition, the Wei family only had a son and no daughter. Wasn’t that just nice?
Hence, one night, the village chief dumped his daughter at the doorstep of the house of the Wei family.
Oddly enough, when the village chief dumped his daughter at the entrance of the house of the Wei family, Father Wei, who happened to be returning home at that time after attending to some matters, saw someone pa.s.s by his house, a man.
Initially, Father Wei thought that Mother Wei was immoral and cheated on him behind his back. As he walked to the entrance of his house, before he lost his temper, he discovered a baby on his doorsteps. It was a baby girl.
After thinking carefully, Father Wei knew that that man was definitely not the adulterer of his wife but the one who left behind this baby girl.
Father Wei carried the child home and told Mother Wei about the situation. Thereafter, Father Wei thought harder. “Why do I feel that the person who left behind this child resembles the village chief very much?”
Mother Wei did not have many capabilities but she had the situations of all the families in the village at her fingertips. “In that case, the rumors during that period are true?”
“What rumors?”
“A few months ago, someone saw the village chief walk out of the widow’s single-story house with his own eyes, and it was in the middle of the night.”
“The widow that just remarried?” Father Wei had a little impression of this.
“Isn’t that so? Widow Chen did not leave her house for a long period of time. It was rare that someone finally saw her. A few of them said that Widow Chen had become fat, especially this part of the body.” Mother Wei patted on her tummy. Under what circ.u.mstances would flesh only grow on a woman’s tummy and not on other parts of the body?
Mother Wei was someone who had given birth before. Of course, she could figure out the situation. “Everyone says that Widow Chen had been pregnant and she even gave birth to a child.”
