“Jiang Yao, do you remember that the Zhou family wanted to force Zhang Lanxiang onto Weiqi?” Chen Xuyao spoke quickly. “Mrs. Zhou, Mr. and Mrs. Du went over to the Li family this morning. They wanted to push forward Zhou Changkang and Li Tianxin’s engagement to tomorrow night.”
“Do you think it’s due to Weiqi’s plan to cut ties with the Zhou family?” That was the only reason Jiang Yao could come up with. “They wanted the Divine Doctor to mend Du Chen’s leg. Plus, they realized yesterday that Weiqi was treated very well by the lot of you, unlike their previous assumptions, and recognized his importance in the role he can play to further the Zhou family’s cause. They’re not willing to let him go.”
Jiang Yao chuckled. “In my humble opinion, Zhou Changkang wanted to get engaged to Li Tianxin hastily not only because the Zhou family wanted to confirm their ties with the Li family as soon as possible, they also wanted to create an opportunity to scheme against Weiqi.”
“Brilliant! You’ve got it all right!” Chen Xuyao exclaimed. “This is what they wanted to do: look for a hooker, have her accompany Weiqi for the entire duration of Zhou Changkang’s engagement night, she will then drug Weiqi and have her way with him before switching her place with Zhang Lanxiang after everything is done.”
“Then, everyone from the Zhous to the Dus to the Zhangs would burst in and catch Weiqi red-handed. They will then force the marriage, with Zhang Lanxiang marrying Weiqi. Let’s not forget she’s now pregnant with Zhou Changkang’s son. Even with Weiqi cutting ties with the Zhou family, they still have Zhang Lanxiang to monitor everything that Weiqi does. I’m telling you; this is an awful idea!” Jiang Yao could not believe how low people could stoop to achieve their goals.
“That’s it.” Chen Xuyao almost laughed his jaws off. “The Zhou family is foolish. If Weiqi wanted to cut ties with the Zhou family, what can Zhang Lanxiang do? Does she actually have the ability to keep tabs on Weiqi?”
Once out of the Zhou family’s grasp, Zhou Weiqi could divorce Zhang Lanxiang at any moment he saw fit.
What a naïve bunch of people, the Zhou family!
“They are betting on Zhang Lanxiang’s baby, what if Weiqi believed him to be his own son? What if Weiqi stays because of the baby?” Jiang Yao guessed.
“Well, what if it is? A baby not wanted can easily be aborted.” Chen Xuyao’s statement sounded cruel and cold-blooded, yet it was the truth.
A child conceived not out of true love, but out of devious schemes and conspiracies; what could the woman do if the man did not want it?
Moreover, Zhou Weiqi had a lady he was in love with. Chen Xuyao was very sure that without the shackles that was the Zhou family, Zhou Weiqi would absolutely go after Zhan Qiuhe.
“You’re right,” Jiang Yao admitted. She then asked if Chen Xuyao had a plan of action.
He could not hold his laughter in anymore. “I told Brother Liang about this and he immediately had people escort Zhang Lanxiang to the Li family together with her pregnancy test results. Weiqi was with Brother Liang, it’s so funny to see his reaction!”
