“Why don’t you try talking to Zhai Hua? What happened between you and Xiaomei was in the past… It won’t happen again. It’s nothing much for men to make mistakes. Why is she being so serious about it? You guys even have Jiajia. Xiao Wei is the best example of that. It’s not good for children not to have their fathers around.”

Wei De wanted very much to rip the court summon apart, but he knew that ripping it did not mean that it no longer existed. If he did not attend the court hearing and simply ignored the order, the Zhai family would naturally have a way of getting Zhai Hua a divorce without him even being present.

The Zhai family was different. Trying to be a slacker would never work against the Zhai family.

Wei De took a deep breath. “It won’t work. Zhai Hua seems to know that Xiao Wei is my son. Given the Zhai family’s characters, I’m guessing that Zhai Hua already has evidence that Xiao Wei is my son since she dares to tell me about this situation.”

If he and Wei Xiaomei had only done that once, and he had convinced Zhai Hua that Wei Xiaomei had drugged him, Zhai Hua might very well have forgiven him. At the very most, the relations.h.i.+p between the couple would be stale for a period of time. But after a while, their relations.h.i.+p would eventually return back to normal.

Ever since Zhai Hua got married—no, ever since Zhai Hua became his son’s marriage partner, he had already made preparations for his grandson. This was not difficult for him.

But the problem was that Zhai Hua had found out about Xiao Wei’s relations.h.i.+p to him! With this huge premise, Wei De knew that Zhai Hua would never reconcile with him, much less continue staying married to him!

All these years, he had unknowingly turned all his attention to his son and had not treated his daughter well enough. Over time, Zhai Hua had already formed her own opinion of him. Now that she had finally exploded, the magnitude was quite significant indeed. Zhai Hua had a bad temper, and now, there was nothing that could change her mind.

If he had known that this would be the case, he would never have brought Wei Xiaomei and Wei Wei over to Ping Cheng. Actually, he should have simply brought his parents over and rebuilt the house in the countryside and given Wei Xiaomei an allowance. With that money, Wei Xiaomei would have been able to lead a good life with Wei Wei in the countryside.

Who cared about his son now that he could not even be sure of his own future? What was the point of having a son? His son was only dragging him down.

Wei De had placed emphasis on his son earlier in the hope that Wei Wei would be able to inherit whatever he had worked hard for, such as his career and wealth. Now, Wei De was on the verge of losing everything. What could he pa.s.s down? Wei De could not even ensure that he would be able to survive. He had no time to care about his son at this moment.

“What? Zhai Hua knows about your relations.h.i.+p with Wei Wei? How?” Father Wei was stunned. “Does that mean that Zhai Hua will never forgive you and that you have to get a divorce?” This had been a well-kept secret for over ten years. Why had Zhai Hua suddenly found out?

It was only then that Father Wei realized how serious Zhai Hua was about the divorce this time. Father Wei remembered that Zhai Hua was the chief’s daughter. How could the chief’s daughter tolerate her husband sleeping together with another woman and even having a child together?

All these years, they had always been biased toward Wei Wei and had neglected Jiajia. As long as he remembered that, Father Wei could not help but feel guilty. After all, he knew that they were at fault. Not only had they hidden the truth of Wei De’s relations.h.i.+p with Wei Xiaomei, but they had even lied that Wei Wei was Wei De’s nephew and had let Zhai Hua take care of him.

Yes, Zhai Hua had not been young when she had gotten married to Ah De. But Zhai Hua had been a virgin who was getting married for the first time. In comparison, this was Ah De’s second marriage. The chief’s daughter would never marry someone who had once been married and even had a son!

Not only had they kept Zhai Hua in the dark about Wei Xiaomei and Wei Wei, but they had even treated Wei Wei better than Jiajia. Father Wei’s face flushed red. He opened his mouth but was unable to say anything for a long while.

Mother Wei, who had always thought her son to be the best, was upset. “Zhai Hua is just a hen who can’t lay eggs. She didn’t give the Wei family a son. Do you mean that our family should just let our line die off instead of finding someone else to have our grandson? We didn’t even take issue with the fact that she didn’t give birth to a son. What gives her the right to make such a fuss?”

“Shut up!” Wei De closed his eyes as he felt his head pounding. Wei De was not as shortsighted as Mother Wei and knew that no one would agree with Mother Wei’s old-fas.h.i.+oned logic even if they were to return to the countryside. “We’re in big trouble now. If Zhai Hua really has evidence that Xiao Wei is my son, we’ll probably have to get a divorce. Once we get a divorce, this house will probably be returned to Zhai Hua. We won’t be able to stay here.”

“Why? She married you and she’s part of the Wei family. Her things are our things. Who dares to steal our things? I’ll never move out of this house no matter who comes! If she dares to do that, I’ll go make a din at the courtyard. I don’t believe that the Zhai family won’t care about their face and will s.n.a.t.c.h other people’s things!” Mother Wei jumped up. This house was her life. Without the house, their family would have to sleep on the streets! That would never do!

“Heh.” Wei De rubbed his head and sneered. “They don’t have to come to collect the house. Zhai Hua has been the one paying for the utility bills. As long as she stops paying for them, we won’t be able to stay here anymore once they cut our power and water. Besides, what if Zhai Hua sells the house? You can make a fuss if you want, but no one will stand on our side. You’ll just be embarra.s.sing yourself. Zhai Hua bought this house before we got married. There’s no way that this way will be ours.”

Besides, compared to what he would lose due to this divorce, this house meant nothing.

Mother Wei could not rebut her son and could not throw a tantrum at her son. “So, what shall we do? How are we going to survive? What do you think I should do? Shall I find Zhai Hua and beg her to not divorce you?”
