1133 Heartless

Wei De had not only built a new house in his hometown but also often gave his parents money. Otherwise, given the miserable state that Wei De was in, it was already a problem for him to remain in Ping Cheng, so how could he have followed the Zhai family to the capital?

The money that Wei De was spending now was all those that he had given to his parents earlier. He took back all the money that he had given.

Of course, at such a stage, the relations.h.i.+p between Wei De and Zhai Hua could not be covered up anymore.

In the beginning, Wei De was not willing to talk about it. He requested money from his family and told them that he needed money to relieve his cash flow issues, that his hands were tight as he ran into some inconveniences in his business recently.

At that time, Wei De’s mother scolded him very angrily. “Didn’t you say that the chief’s daughter knows many people? Other people are daughters-in-law. She is also a daughter-in-law. Why is she such a failure? If you encounter any problems in your business, shouldn’t she get her maternal family to help you? If you are short of money, you can get it from your wife. If she doesn’t have money, many people will be willing to lend her as long as she opens her mouth to ask for it, no? If she is petty to you and refuses to borrow money, you can also use her name to borrow money from her friends since you also know them. Son, don’t be so rigid. You have to know how to adapt to different situations.”

Would Wei De not think of these means that his mother was teaching him?

If Zhai Hua did not break up with him… If no one knew that he had fallen out with Zhai Hua…

His mother did not need to teach him. Wei De would have daringly used Zhai Hua’s name to borrow money long ago. He would borrow as much money as he wished to without any hesitation, let alone getting others to help him in his business.

Since he was borrowing money for the business on the account of Zhai Hua’s face, Zhai Hua would have to repay the grat.i.tude in the future.

As for the money earned, that would be Wei De’s credit alone. It did not have anything to do with Zhai Hua.

Wei De had such guts and brains. The problem was that most of the prominent people in Ping Cheng had already heard of him breaking up with Zhai Hua.

Wei De was shameless to refuse to admit that he had broken up with Zhai Hua. However, others might not be willing to play dumb with Wei De. Without the ‘care’ from the Zhai family, they were not willing to give Wei De so much convenience.

In short, after Zhai Hua left him, Wei De faced many obstructions in Ping Cheng.

Since the money had gone into the pocket of Wei De’s mother, it belonged to her.

The mother-son pair’s character of ‘only in but not out’ was very similar.

With Zhai Hua, this ‘daughter-in-law’, around, Mother Wei was not willing to fork out the family’s money. She wanted Wei De to look for Zhai Hua if he were to face any problems. As the daughter-in-law of the Wei family, Zhai Hua should and had to do something for the Wei family.

Knowing his biological mother’s character and also after being given so many cold shoulders, Wei De could not endure it any longer. He told his mother about the situation, angering the latter badly. “Oh, my goodness. There is such a woman in the world. She is too shameless. She dated with you for so long and her reputation has already been damaged. If she has some shame, she will only marry you. If this was in the past, you could sue her for being a rogue. Are all the chiefs’ daughters so shameless?”

To Wei De’s mother, Zhai Hua and her son had been dating for a long time. As such, Zhai Hua was already her son’s woman and she was not qualified to be with others.

She did not expect that Zhai Hua would break up so decisively without any feelings of reluctance before the two even got married. She even left her son such that he had to endure hards.h.i.+ps in Ping Cheng. She was simply a sc.u.m amongst women.

“She is so shameless. The Zhai family did not react? Does the Zhai family like to trample on their own faces?” Zhai Hua’s reputation had already been ruined. Shouldn’t the Zhai family think of ways to marry Zhai Hua to Wei De as soon as possible? Would they still agree to let Zhai Hua break up with her son?

Wei De was very disheartened. “Mom, your way of thinking is too backward. It is not common in the current society anymore. Zhai Hua and I… We have been together for a long time but Zhai Hua is still not my woman. Even if she is really mine, most likely, the Zhai family will not mind either. There are also many cases of divorce nowadays. If I don’t find ways to make Zhai Hua turn back her heart, I won’t have anything to do with Zhai Hua anymore. I also won’t be a.s.sociated with the Zhai family anymore in the future.”

At the mention of this situation, Wei De’s voice turned hoa.r.s.e. His tone carried a deep gust of grief. “Mom, you know the current society too. It’s not easy to survive. When I was in the army, no one looked up to me. I was still a junior soldier after so many years in the army. After some time, the army will definitely make me retire. Now, I wish to do business. It is not enough to have money. I need to have connections too. Furthermore, I don’t even have any money now. Mom, it’s difficult to survive. It’s even more difficult to survive well.”

What wrong did he do?

He just wanted to have a better life. He did not want to have a life without any accomplishment. He wanted his own career. In that case, when his children grew up and mentioned their father, they could proudly introduce him to their friends.

Yes, he had organized a banquet and married a wife in his hometown but they had not collected the wedding certificate. As such, their marriage was not considered legal.

From the perspective of the law, if he were to marry Zhai Hua, it would be his first marriage.

Besides this, his only demerit was having Wei Wei, this son.

Having a son to carry the family’s name had always been the traditional thinking of Chinese.

Wei Wei was a son. Given his age, Wei De felt that he deserved to have a child even if it was a daughter.

If the wife in his hometown did not exist, at his age, would Zhai Hua be able to give him a child?

She could not!

Zhai Hua could not do that. He had already thought of a solution to this difficult problem. He did not make things difficult for Zhai Hua because of this matter.

It was fine that other people did not understand his pain and good intent. Who would have expected Zhai Hua to be so willful? She did not understand his feelings for her at all.

With Wei Wei, at the very least, the Wei family would not pressurize Zhai Hua anymore regardless of how the Zhai family made things difficult for him or how late Zhai Hua married him. The Wei family would not ask Zhai Hua to bear him a son as soon as possible.

Wei Wei’s existence was a little awkward for Zhai Hua.

However, if Zhai Hua could think from another perspective, she had something to gain from Wei Wei’s existence too.

If Zhai Hua was really worried that he would pay less attention to or did not love their children enough, at most, he would send Wei Wei back to his hometown again. His parents could take care of Wei Wei then.

In this way, he would be able to focus wholeheartedly on Zhai Hua and his children, no?

Clearly, it was a problem that was quite easy to resolve. However, he did not understand why Zhai Hua had to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Could it be that his many years of relations.h.i.+p with Zhai Hua could not be compared to the uneasiness that Zhai Hua felt toward Wei Wei’s existence?

Zhai Hua was too selfish.

He had given up the wife at home and also Wei Wei. He did not want anything except Zhai Hua, yet Zhai Hua still abandoned him heartlessly.
