Ha, going back to the Liu family village to recognize Lian En?
Huang Wei momentarily paused, clutching her handkerchief in the midst of her sobbing, her voice inevitably faltering for a moment.
If it weren’t for the earth-shattering cries from her sister-in-law, her own husband, and her brother-in-law that quickly snapped her back to reality, she would have been overjoyed and nearly broken into laughter through her tears.
What a situation, searching high and low only to find it without any effort!
In the past two years, she and her husband, along with her sister-in-law Dai Weijuan, had genuinely been supporting and cooperating with the old lady in their playacting.
The old lady practically shed enough tears to fill two vats, dreaming of returning to the Liu family village to recognize her grandson, yet her older brother-in-law was as stubborn as a mule, refusing to budge. She had barely passed, and now he’s reconsidering?
Though it feels a bit late that the love comes only after the child’s death.
But Huang Wei couldn’t care less, as long as she could see Liu Shuzhen and Bai Jing twisted and infuriated, she’d be happy to wait until her hair turned white!
Haha, without the Bai family to rely on, having lost her husband’s affection, and now with a former wife’s son destined to inherit everything, who harbors nothing but hatred for her—Huang Wei could foresee how heartbroken and angry Bai Jing would be. After losing her child, how suffocating and hopeless Liu Shuzhen would feel.
As for the concern that General Wu might back Liu Shuzhen and her husband and be unwilling to use power to suppress them,
In Huang Wei’s view, that’s no problem at all.
After all, as the son of a materialistic man like Chen Shimei, there’s bound to be some disdain for the poor and a love for the wealthy in his blood.
A little inducement and he’d eagerly flock over, no need to suppress with power at all, right?
As long as Lian En himself is willing, not even Wu Liguo could overly interfere in someone’s family matters, right!
After finding out she couldn’t have children, Bai Jing even decisively ended her husband Dai Weiguo’s fertility. Just from this, you can tell how much she rejects any child conceived by her husband with someone else.
Especially since Lian En’s existence boldly reminds Bai Jing of the facade in the name of love she put up initially. Relentlessly breaking Liu Shuzhen and Dai Weiguo’s marriage, she managed to snatch this ungrateful man.
If it weren’t for her father and big brother being arrested, with the second son Bai Xuan being a habitual slacker, and only this ungrateful man could uphold the honor of being the wife of an official, Bai Jing would have already slapped two big slaps, regardless of whether the old lady could rest in peace! Trying to bring Liu Shuzhen’s ungrateful child to me, to inherit everything here, I’d say, dream on!
But now, circumstances are beyond control.
With fallen feathers, she’s inferior to a chicken, even though the hatred makes her bleed, she has to hold it in relentlessly.
Otherwise, facing off against Dai Weiguo, who exceptionally put feelings above reason and power, the outcome would undoubtedly be something she wouldn’t want to see.
Originally, whether it was Dai Weijuan, Dai Weimin, or Dai Weijia, they all had some grievances toward their eldest brother Dai Weiguo.
The old lady had always been in good health, only in these two years, holding a grudge against her son, did she worry, and develop heart disease. Yet, seeing their eldest brother so distressed and guilty, Dai Weijia opened her mouth but couldn’t voice a word of complaint, thinking that with even the last bit of attachment in this family gone, they’d better limit contact with these self-serving relatives!
Dai Weimin and Dai Weijuan, who always clung to Dai Weiguo like vines, dared not act out too much with the old lady around. Now that the support has collapsed, how would they dare to raise a ruckus?
Afraid that woman Bai Jing would take advantage and send them back to the countryside to farm!
Without knowing, at this moment, Dai Weiguo was filled with guilt and regret, thinking of nothing but quickly sending his mother’s body back to Liu family village to be buried with his father in the Dai family tomb. Then recognize Lian En back and let him mourn in sackcloth for his grandmother, which would fulfill the old lady’s wish before she died.
With the elder’s passing, the son ought to escort the body back home for the burial, and with such a leave request, even someone as authoritative as Old Wu wouldn’t outright reject it.
After all, Dai Weiguo had never taken leave for personal reasons over these years.
Instead, working overtime, fully committed to work, he had accumulated enough family leave over these years to easily take half a year off.
Such a man, unscrupulous in private life yet impeccable at work, with a powerful reason like burying his deceased mother.
Wu Liguo, having no choice, called the Liu family village to see if he could have his foolish son-in-law over for two months. Anyway, the summer break was nearly there, where couldn’t he spend it?
Hehe, seeing the pot boiling can’t be stopped, we might as well take out the firewood, right!
No matter what that man named Dai was plotting, leaving him empty-handed was the goal.
By coincidence, Shuzhen and Lian En were in Liu Shouren’s team leader office at that moment.
Old-fashioned phones had severe earpiece leaks, and when the voice got loud, it was almost like having a speaker on.
With Wu Liguo’s impatient and naturally loud voice, after a round of loud banging, by the time Liu Shouren reacted to hang up, it was already too late.
All content of the conversation was heard clearly by Shuzhen and Lian En.
Liu Shouren, scalp tingling and anxious, looked at Lian En. If his young sister’s current happy life were ruined by his phone call, there wouldn’t be enough remorse to redeem his guilt.
His fearful expression amused Shuzhen and Lian En, both of whom burst into laughter, and Lian En took advantage of his stupor to grab the phone and say, "Hello Grandpa Wu, I’m Lian En. Thank you for considering everything for me. But there’s no need, because running away isn’t the solution. If it’s bound to happen one day, I’d rather face it sooner than later. Let them come if they must. Until they’ve completely lost hope, they’ll never learn to let go or see the truth.
Better to address it head-on.
I already have the best dad in the world, and I won’t lose a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed! No matter what is said, my surname is Lian, named Lian En. I am the eldest son of the species breeding and optimization expert Lianshan and Liu Shuzhen, and nothing more than their eldest son."
Lian En spoke so confidently that not only Wu Liguo on the other end of the phone but also Liu Shouren on this end was utterly amazed.
Startled and bewildered for a while, he dumbly asked, "Lian En, he, he, he knows everything?"
