Chapter 135: Egoism
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Zheng Wen was already in a fit of anger. When she saw that the man she loved deeply was actually threatening her to protect his lover, the anger in her heart intensified. She provoked, “Then I want to say it, b*tch! B*tch! You’ll die a horrible death if you destroy someone else’s family!”
When Si Ming heard that the woman he loved was being insulted, he took a step forward and slapped Zheng Wen hard!
Zheng Wen was knocked to the ground and looked at Si Ming in disbelief. “You hit me because of that b*tch?! Your family almost went bankrupt 31 years ago. If it weren’t for my maiden family helping you, your Si family would have long become a dilapidated family! I was the one who brought you these 31 years of good days! Where was that woman at that time? She couldn’t even give you 100 yuan!”
Si Ming had long had enough of Zheng Wen repeatedly bringing up this matter. Now, he was a little numb to it. “Do you know what love is?! You only care about money all day long! You only care about money! Qin Zhen and I are childhood sweethearts. What does a cold-blooded person like you know about love? It’s not something that money can measure!”
Zheng Wen didn’t expect that all her efforts for this family over the years were actually for money in Si Ming’s eyes. Her heart hurt like it was being pricked by needles. “Si Ming, you bastard! If you didn’t value money, why did you propose to me back then? Go and marry Qin Zhen! You’re an exquisite egoist! Double standard dog!”
Si Ming couldn’t refute her. He flew into a rage out of humiliation and raised his voice at Zheng Wen. “If the Qin family hadn’t gone bankrupt, do you think I would have taken a fancy to you and married you?! Your temper is ugly and domineering. You don’t even remotely have the gentleness and obedience a woman should have! Who can hold back from having an affair after marrying a woman like you?! Let me tell you, in my heart, you’re not even worthy of carrying her shoes!”
Zheng Wen had never been insulted like this since she was born. When she heard Si Ming’s words, she immediately stood up and pounced on him. “Don’t you dare to bully me like this because our family is no longer the same as before?! Let me tell you, I, Zheng Wen, am not the kind of person to swallow my anger! I’m going to fight it out with you!”
The two of them wrestled again. All kinds of things that could be smashed and attacked were used in the bedroom, and the sound of banging was endless.
When Si Cheng returned home, he heard the argument and scolding upstairs. He strode upstairs.
The bedroom was a mess. Si Ming was riding on Zheng Wen and slapping her mouth, but Zheng Wen wasn’t at a disadvantage. She bit Si Ming’s arm tightly and wouldn’t let go no matter how hard she was hit. Her gaze looked like she wanted to tear off the other party’s flesh.
Si Cheng finally separated the two of them after much difficulty. Looking at the husband and wife who used to respect each other like guests now treating each other like enemies, his emotions were very complicated.
Si Cheng took a deep breath and said coldly, “Are you done fooling around? As if there aren’t enough jokes now. Do you want to make a fool of yourself for the helpers at home, or do you plan to continue adding more topics for the reporters?”
When the couple heard their son’s words, they stopped struggling though they wanted to continue fighting. However, they still stared at each other fiercely.
In Si Cheng’s heart, Si Ming had always been a father with a majestic image. In the upper-class society that loved to have affairs, he was a rare good husband and father. He didn’t expect all of this to be because his father’s acting skills were outstanding.
However, Si Cheng wasn’t willing to accept it, so he still wanted to hear his father tell him himself.
Si Cheng looked into Si Cheng’s eyes quietly and asked calmly, “Dad, are the things on the Internet about you having an affair true?”
Si Ming felt a little guilty being asked in person by his son. After a while, he replied, “Qin Zhen is a good woman. She’s been with me since she was 20 years old. Her family went bankrupt which drove her parents to jump off a building. Without me, she wouldn’t have been able to live. I can’t be irresponsible to her. Your mother and 1 had no choice but to have a business marriage.”
“Si Qin and Si Lin won’t threaten your status. They only want to help to reduce the pressure on me. After all, they’re members of the Si family. They should contribute to the Si family.”
Si Qin was 28 years old and Si Lin was 25 years old. The two of them were illegitimate children of Si Ming and Qin Zhen.
The tears on Zheng Wen’s face had yet to dry. When she heard Si Ming’s answer, she couldn’t help but roar, “Don’t even think about threatening Si Cheng’s status. Otherwise, I’ll turn the Si family upside down. Everyone can forget about living well and go to hell together!”
“Si Ming, I’ve been married to you for 30 years. I was really blind.. Now I see your true colors! You want love but also the benefits of a marriage alliance! I never knew that you were so selfish! If you had to be responsible for her, you shouldn’t even have married me!”
