Mrs. Wang’s voice trembled with anger: "You’re still looking for reasons within yourself? Are you so kind that it’s gone too far? What kind of woman is this! She cheated on you, had a child with another surname. So much has happened, if you can still accept such a wife, then I absolutely won’t acknowledge you. Go take your wife and do whatever you want! Don’t ever show up in front of me again. I’ll just pretend I never had a child!" Tears began to fall as she spoke.
Father Wang gently patted his wife’s back: "Alright, don’t be upset, our son hasn’t said anything, has he? Your health isn’t good; getting so worked up isn’t going to cause a relapse?"
"You don’t understand!" Mrs. Wang said angrily; "Our son is completely crazy now. He always feels sorry for his wife, and will find all sorts of reasons to forgive Bai Fanglan. If someone says something nice, he might even raise Bai Fanglan’s child, and at that time, our family will be laughed at to death! I would rather die than acknowledge that child!"
What kind of child is that? A bastard born from rape!
The father is a criminal! If he stays in the Wang Family, wouldn’t that disgrace our family’s reputation of so many years!
Father Wang laughed: "Rest assured, your son can’t be so muddle-headed, he won’t deprive us of our grandson. We only have one child now, after all." He said this while looking at Wang Hu.
Wang Hu naturally understood his father’s intention, nodded and said: "I understand, Father, don’t worry, I am clear-minded. Whether my marriage with Bai Fanglan can continue, when it comes to divorce, I hope to compensate her as much as possible, and I hope you can forgive me for this."
Father Wang and Mrs. Wang had no objection. After all, they were married, and if separation at this point, especially when she’s pregnant, if they were too stingy over property, it wouldn’t look good to outsiders, it would just make them seem heartless.
Wang Hu’s attitude made Mrs. Wang satisfied as well, and she stopped feeling dizzy. There was much to deal with in this situation, and although Wang Hu would lose face, there was no choice. They had to be frank about it.
Mrs. Wang said; "As for what to say outside, just say you two don’t get along. All the savings accumulated at home during your marriage should be given to her, as well as the wedding gifts. Also, any household items bought, furniture, appliances, beds, and kitchen utensils that she likes, let her take them all away."
Father Wang also had no objections, as Bai Fanglan was actually a victim too, giving some compensation wasn’t out of line.
The three of them were discussing this when they received a call saying Bai Fanglan had gone into early labor!
Mrs. Wang felt her heart was about to leap out: "What? She’s already in the operating room? But she’s only been pregnant for a little over six months, how can she deliver early? Can the child survive?"
"What! Didn’t Wang Hu just say it earlier, the actual time is seven months!" Father Wang sighed; "Let’s go! No matter what, she’s still his wife right now, not going to check on her isn’t right." This further confirmed the child wasn’t a Wang Family member. Otherwise, a six-month-old wouldn’t survive.
The three rushed over and notified Bai Chuan. Bai Chuan was furious when he saw them, as he already heard that it was after Wang Hu and Bai Fanglan spoke, she was stimulated into early labor. Follow current novels on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝔫𝔢𝔱
But Wang Hu remained calm. He held back the enraged Bai Chuan from hitting him, solemnly explaining everything in the hallway outside the operating room.
Bai Chuan looked at him in disbelief: "You’re talking nonsense! I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it!"
"Otherwise, think about it, why did the doctor take the baby out at six months? I hadn’t met her seven months ago. The doctor also said it was a child over seven months."
Bai Chuan was shocked and embarrassed. A face full of disbelief, how could this happen!
Wang Hu said: "Our marriage will inevitably end, and now besides divorce, I seek nothing else. The financial compensation I should give will not be lacking, rest assured of that. Our Wang Family will also compensate Bai Fanglan as much as possible."
They didn’t want to do this, but to facilitate a smooth divorce, they had to compromise.
Bai Chuan held his head in both hands, sobbing softly: "What a misfortune for the family, what a misfortune for the family!"
Seeing his distressed expression, the three also sighed. Bai Fanglan had no parents, only living with her grandfather, but, fortunately, her family was well-off, she could have had a good life, but this affair befell her.
By then, the surgery was over, and the doctor came out. Mrs. Wang inquired and learned her daughter-in-law was not in life-threatening condition, and they planned to leave once she regained consciousness, citing her unwellness.
Father Wang greeted Bai Chuan before preparing to leave.
Wang Hu originally intended to stay, but Mrs. Wang snapped at him: "Can’t you see I’m about to collapse? Why aren’t you supporting me, why are you staying here? Hurry up and go, I still haven’t settled accounts with you. I spent so much for your wife, how I’ve been tormented by her! You saw how she ignored me, right? You couldn’t even continue your studies in Beijing because of all the fuss? You still wanna stay here? Afraid people won’t ridicule you enough?"
Bai Chuan, listening to Mrs. Wang’s words, felt awkward and ashamed, and could not utter a word.
Father Wang restrained his wife from continuing. What was she saying? Mrs. Wang was originally a gentle person, to say something meant it was her boiling point of dissatisfaction.
Wang Hu could only follow his parents, and before leaving, said to Bai Chuan; "Grandfather, I’ve already paid the hospital fees. I’ll take my parents home first, and then come back to see you."
Bai Chuan waved his hand: "Never mind! I can manage, I understand your predicament. Wang Hu, I know you suffered grievances in this marriage. I apologize on behalf of my foolish granddaughter."
Wang Hu said: "Grandfather, don’t say that, I’m fine. Bai Fanglan’s health isn’t good, she needs to recuperate, and don’t be too hard on her, she deceived me, but in essence, she’s a victim herself. I hope you can encourage her to go to the authorities and bring Yuan Bing to justice."
Of course, Wang Hu knew this was unlikely. Time had passed, there wasn’t much evidence anymore, and moreover, Bai Fanglan valued face too much to expose it. If she was willing, she would’ve spoken out when she was first violated, not waited until now.
