Chapter 1675 - Father and Daughter Cross Swords (1/2)

As Wen Xinya expected, the press conference spiraled out of control.

Wen Haowen’s extramarital affair, which had been overlooked by everyone previously, was now being targeted by the reporters as they questioned Wen Haowen ruthlessly and relentlessly.

Even Wen Haowen was shocked to the core.

He thought that by exposing the truth behind Ning Shuqian’s promiscuity, clearing his name regarding the domestic abuse and officially announcing his separation from Ning Shuqian—everyone would think that his affair was reasonable and forgivable.

Wen Haowen replied tearfully, “Four years ago, I chanced upon the truth behind Ning Shuqian’s condition. Her inner cervix lining is very thin and inactive. Damage in her earlier years led to the formation of scar tissue and the narrowing of her cervix. She also has excessive cervical mucus which affects the rate of sperm entering the uterus. As a result, the chances of fertilization are very low for her. She has kept this from me for 20 years.”

At this point, the pain on Wen Haowen’s face, accompanied by his bitter voice, made him look exceptionally desolate.

No one expected there to still be so many more juicy secrets in this saga between Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian. The reporters couldn’t help sighing.

“There’s an old saying that there are three ways to be unfilial and having no sons is the worst. As the oldest grandson in the Wen Family, I have let down my ancestors. As a son, I have been unable to look my father in the eye as I have failed to bear children.

“As a man, I have been enduring scorn and ridicule from others over the past 20 years. As a father, my only child led a wandering life for her first 15 years, and our relationship is shallow and distant because of my ex-wife’s death.

“I am a man and have lived nearly 50 years without any offspring to show for. I just want to have a child and know what it’s like to be a father. I want to continue on the Wen Family’s lineage and be able to face up to my ancestors. Am I wrong in wanting these things?”

You were not wrong in wanting those things.

Even so, they were no excuse for your extramarital affair.

If you wanted a child, you could have divorced and then remarried.

The reporters were sympathetic toward Wen Haowen’s plight but didn’t completely buy his excuse.

After the press conference ended, Wen Haowen’s mind remained in a daze. He stared at the empty hall with a vague feeling that he had somehow done something wrong.

“Clack, clack, clack, clack!” The sound of high heels echoed crisply through the hall. “Is this the result you wanted?”

Wen Xinya fixed a cold stare at Wen Haowen. He had been so full of confidence when he first thought of holding this press conference, but he now looked like a man utterly defeated. Ridicule flashed across her eyes.

Wen Haowen looked up and met Wen Xinya’s chilly gaze with a malevolent one of his own. “What are you doing here?”

He recalled how he had to put up such a tearful display as he tried to justify himself, which still failed to convince the press but instead caused the situation to spiral out of control. The reporters had surrounded him and raised an endless flurry of difficult questions.

The press conference had been a complete failure.

It was obvious that Wen Xinya had appeared right after the press conference ended just to mock him.

“Do you want to guess how the newspapers will report on today’s press conference?”
