Chapter 175 - All Because of You (2/2)
“Even when I found out about it, I wasn’t mad at you. The love of beauty is universal. There were few women as outstanding as Xiya, so it was no wonder that many men wanted to get her. I wanted to give you a chance to fairly compete with me. I neither asked you about it nor mentioned it to Xiya. If Xiya chose you, I might get myself drunk for a few days, but after waking up, I would still wish you happiness, and treat you like my best friend! I, Chen Tianjiao, could be that frank and aboveboard. But what did you do to me, Lin Ziwei?
“You knew that Deng Yifei of our village loved me, so you resorted to fraud. You slipped pills into my drink, took away Xiya, who was sleeping by my side, and got Deng Yifei into my bed. After that night, we conceived my daughter, Chen Wanxin… Under my parents’ compulsion, I had to marry Deng Yifei. But Xiya believed that I was innocent. After one year’s effort, I divorced Deng Yifei and left her and my daughter. Xiya still agreed to marry me.
“Twenty years ago, Xiya was about to marry me when you came up with a venomous scheme again! You found several pregnant women and asked them to accuse me that I was the father of the babies in their bellies! Moreover, you even found several girls and asked them to accuse me that they were all my former girlfriends.
“I couldn’t explain those clearly. Later, I was put into jail for half a year because someone accused me. Without you, these wouldn’t have happened!
“When my grievances had been cleared, none of those women were willing to betray you. They only said that they had wanted to marry me, so they came up with such a bad idea! Ridiculous! Lin Ziwei, it was so ridiculous!
“When I was released from jail, you had married Xiya! And Xiya was already pregnant!
“Do you know how sad and ashamed I was when I saw your wedding pictures? It was her most beautiful moment with a wreath on her head and her beautiful long hair flying in the breeze. However, she wasn’t by my side at the moment. Was the smile on her face genuine? I could feel the reluctance and helplessness in it!
“Everyone thought us a perfect couple. I would have wanted to go through thick and thin with her! The two of us made a promise at the source of the Wenxi River of another county that we would never part. You thought yourself a man of magnanimity, but you should know that the dirtiest thing you have done in your life was to take your brother’s wife away!”
Chen Tianjiao’s heart throbbed. Lin Wenxi’s eyes and eyebrows looked a little like Huang Xiya’s. “Maybe only I and Xiya could give birth to such a good-looking and charming child. I had seen Wenxi a long time ago, but I didn’t think that he was my son. I thought Xiya had given him the name of ‘Wenxi’ only in memory of our past. I had never thought that he was our son!
“After getting married, you had a beautiful wife and a good-looking son. You had a successful official career and you became a division leader. In order to catch up with you, I chose a different path. I made mistakes all the time. I know that even if I did good deeds for the rest of my life, I couldn’t make up for what I did! But why did I end up like this? It’s all because of you! You kept me down all the time and wanted to get rid of me. You never expected that you would offend so many senior officials while investigating the old case. So you should be blamed for your own death! No matter how capable, a deputy secretary is only a fish. How can it win a fight against a steel net?
“Whether you’ll hate me or feel regret in the netherworld, you should bless your son to lead a happy life. I won’t let him know the other side of our family, and I won’t let him have anything to do with Moshi. Since my daughter has gotten involved in those businesses, I have to let her continue on this path. As for the son of Xiya and me, I will make sure he will be safe and healthy. And he will have his own career. Let’s wait and see. I’m responsible for the rest of Wenxi’s life.”
The news of the return of Chen Tianjiao’s son spread throughout the whole clan. Lin Wenxi was only nineteen years old, and he was a student at the university, so all the clan powers tried to approach him. Chen Wanxin’s mother, Deng Yifei, flattered her stepson by all means. However, what troubled her was that her daughter, Chen Wanxin, did not like her younger brother.
The news that Lin Wenxi was her brother came to Chen Wanxin like a bolt from the blue!
