Lyu Juncheng sneered coldly in his heart; if he could tolerate this matter, then he wouldn’t be a man.
Without giving face to his mother-in-law, he said, "It also depends on what she’s done; some things can never be forgiven."
Sister Tian, standing at her own gate watching the spectacle, sighed gently, thinking: Luckily, Xinyan was smart and got out in time.
Looking again at Yao Hui, whose eyes were red from crying, she inwardly despised such a person. First, she tangled with her brother-in-law, and once they were together, she was supposed to live her life well. But how long had they been married before this happened?
And then there’s Lyu Juncheng, too; why did he have to go and have a vasectomy for no reason? Now look what happened. Let’s see how you’ll clean up this mess.
If Yao Hui’s scandal gets exposed, then Lyu Juncheng’s deeds will be dragged out too, bringing equal disgrace. What was he thinking?
Shaking her head, she turned back into the courtyard to do chores, not wanting to watch any more of this mess.
Lyu Juncheng might have thought that if this was exposed, people would laugh at him for being cuckolded. He held back his anger and said, "I understand, it’s not really a big deal. We’ll discuss it later; you both should head back first."
Mrs. Yao felt she had some weight as a mother-in-law when her son-in-law relented. Just moments ago, he was aggressive, but after a few words from her, he calmed down.
She gave her husband a signal, and while pulling Yao Hui into the courtyard, she lectured, "You too, a couple living together should discuss things properly. Why create such a scene? Aren’t you embarrassed?"
Yao Hui couldn’t hear this. "Mom, I’ve been hit, and I can’t speak up? Are you really my mom?"
After knowing she was pregnant, she wanted to surprise Lyu Juncheng. Although worried, if she didn’t tell, who would know? But who would have thought he’d slap her directly? Not running outside, what else was she supposed to do?
Mrs. Yao was a bit exasperated. "Look at you, getting older but not wiser. You were together under the wrong circumstances; many in the family complex want to see you humiliated, see our Yao Family humiliated. Can’t you think a bit?"
Yao Hui knew her mother was right, but at that moment, Lyu Juncheng seemed like he was on fire; her instinct was to run outside. At least, with people coming and going at the gates, he’d hold back from hitting her again.
Once the crowd dispersed and the Yao couple left, Lyu Juncheng sent the three children to the Tian Family. Only then did he coldly tell Yao Hui, "I won’t have this child. You deal with it yourself."
Yao Hui frowned at him, probing, "Why? Why can’t I have my own child?"
Lyu Juncheng saw she dared to ask, so he bluntly said, "You know very well where this child came from. Do you want me to raise another man’s child?"
Yao Hui seemed to have expected this, but couldn’t understand why he was so sure the child wasn’t his. She decided to push back, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lyu Juncheng didn’t want to see her right now. "If you don’t deal with this child, then we’ll divorce."
Yao Hui felt both ashamed and angry, "Lyu Juncheng, you’re a bastard."
No matter how much Yao Hui cursed, Lyu Juncheng left the courtyard, only returning late with the three children. After settling the daughters, he went into the son’s room and rested there.
The cold war between Yao Hui and Lyu Juncheng officially began.
Lyu Juncheng could not let go of this grudge, but he didn’t dare to blow it up. If he told Yao Hui the reason directly, knowing her temper, she wouldn’t let it go.
For now, keeping the real reason secret with some leverage over her was the best outcome.
After all, considering the current situation, getting another divorce might mean he couldn’t stay at the Mechanical Factory.
But this thorn between the couple was not going to come out.
After He Jinxuan left with the sweater, Xinyan glanced towards where Lyu Juncheng lived. She originally thought today wouldn’t end well, but it ended with more noise than substance; quite disappointing.
However, she also understood that given Lyu Juncheng and Yao Hui’s personality, the truth would come out one day, so she was just waiting for the drama to unfold.
