Jiang Chunfen nodded. At this moment, she revealed her rare, pitiful side.
Qiao Yuan’s heart ached. He reached out and pulled her into his arms. He whispered in her ear, “Although I don’t want to admit it, we have to face the objective truth. At your age, you can’t think about giving birth anymore.”
Jiang Chunfen was about to turn forty years old. Even if she married Qiao Yuan immediately, it would take over a year for her to get pregnant and give birth to a child. Jiang Chunfen would already be in her forties and encounter a high-risk pregnancy.
There were people who gave birth at an advanced age. Some of them could not bear to abort their children in their forties because they wanted to carry on the family line or could not get pregnant in the beginning.
However, Qiao Yuan was not thinking about carrying on the family line. If he married Jiang Chunfen, he had to be responsible for the rest of Jiang Chunfen’s life. He would not let Jiang Chunfen take the risk of giving birth to a child for him at forty.
Moreover, Qiao Yuan did not care about carrying on the family line. Otherwise, he would not have been single for so long and not gotten married.
“Being with me will make you lose many things that you should have in your life,” Jiang Chunfen leaned into Qiao Yuan’s arms and said sadly.
Qiao Yuan’s heart trembled when he heard this. Then, he chuckled gently and said, “After living for thirty-five years, I didn’t know what I should have in my life before. It was only when you appeared I knew I didn’t have to have anything. You were enough.”
As he spoke, Qiao Yuan straightened Jiang Chunfen’s body in his arms and looked at her seriously. He said word by word, “Chunfen, I love you more than you think. You can’t imagine how much I love you!”
“But I can feel it.” Jiang Chunfen looked at Qiao Yuan seriously and said, “I can feel it.”
When Qiao Yuan heard this, a smile instantly bloomed on his face. Then, he pulled Jiang Chunfen into his arms and kissed her hard.
Wang Zimeng, who was peeping from the window upstairs, saw this scene. She was so frightened that she quickly covered her eyes.
…
The next two weeks were relatively peaceful. Jian Ai basically lived in Bai Zhou’s apartment, school, or the martial arts school. The person who assassinated Bai Zhou did not appear again recently, but Jian Ai and the rest did not let their guard down. Before completely getting rid of the other party, Jian Ai could not completely relax.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of November, and Wang Yunzhong got married again.
Wang Yunzhong had spent money to hire people to arrange the wedding. He cared about his face, so the scale of the wedding naturally couldn’t be bad. It was basically the same as the wedding Wang Yunmei had arranged for him back then.
However, Wang Yunzhong spent tens of thousands more. After all, his biological sister was thinking about how to save money for him, but outsiders were thinking about how to earn his money.
Even so, the old lady didn’t dare to say anything, as if she had learned her lesson. Especially when she knew that this wedding cost tens of thousands more than the one Wang Yunmei had planned. The old lady couldn’t wait to disappear in front of Wang Yunzhong.
If not for her, her son would not have spent so much money in vain. In the end, the old lady was not ashamed, but her heart ached for her son.
The banquet hall on the top floor of Lika Hotel was already full. The wedding model leaned towards the West. This was the wedding Xu Qianqian wanted. Since she was pregnant with the Wang family’s child, the Wang family was satisfied with anything Xu Qianqian suggested.
As members of the groom’s family, Wang Yunmei and Wang Yunzhi were naturally responsible for greeting the guests. The old lady didn’t give her two daughters any attitude and helped them with a smile the entire time.
Jian Ai and the other juniors were all sitting in the corner. Before the wedding started, Wang Zichen had already silently eaten the melon seeds on the table.
As he ate, he secretly glanced at Jian Ai. He wanted to greet her a few times, but he was too embarrassed.
In the end, Wang Zichen turned around and whispered to Wang Zimeng, “I’ve already planned it!”
Wang Zimeng was watching the commotion in private and couldn’t react for a moment. She was stunned for a moment before asking, “Plan what?”
“Move to Mom’s place!” Wang Zichen said bluntly, “I don’t want to live with that woman. It’s so twisted!”
Wang Zimeng looked at her brother in surprise and shock because she was the one who suggested this idea back then. However, she only said it casually and didn’t take it to heart. She didn’t expect her brother to remember it.
“Will Dad agree? Even if Dad agrees, Grandpa and Grandma will never agree.” Wang Zimeng curled her lips and shook her head. “No chance!”
“Tsk, I have my ways. Just wait and see,” Wang Zichen raised his eyebrows smugly. It looked like he had planned it.
At this moment, Jian Ai, who had been silent at the side, suddenly interrupted. It was obvious that she was talking to Wang Zichen. “What if Aunt remarried one day? What will you do? Wander outside alone?”
As if he didn’t expect Jian Ai, who had always treated him as air, to talk to him, Wang Zichen couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. After he reacted, he blurted, “My mother is already forty years old. She still knows how to get married again?”
Jian Ai sneered mercilessly. “What kind of logic is that? Your father is already forty-one years old. Isn’t he still getting married again?”
However, Wang Zichen blurted out without thinking, “How could a woman be like a man?”
Wang Zichen spoke exceptionally naturally and didn’t feel that it was inappropriate at all. However, it was this sentence that made the others at the table, including Jian Ai, Jian Yu, Yao Jiachi, and Wang Zimeng, look up at him at the same time.
Everyone’s faces were cold. It was obvious that they were unhappy with Wang Zichen’s words.
How could a woman be like a man?
Hearing this, it was as if the two elders of the Wang family had carved it out.
Not only did Wang Yunzhong inherit this concept of favoring boys over girls, but now, it was even implemented on Wang Zichen. This was simply poisoning!
On the other hand, Wang Zichen didn’t seem to know what he had done wrong. However, under their gazes, his heart trembled for no reason. He stammered, “Why are you looking at me?”
The others calmly retracted their gazes. Seeing Wang Zichen’s idiot-like reaction, they all felt that he was hopeless.
Only Wang Zimeng reminded Wang Zichen, “Men can build a family after a divorce. Why can’t women?”
“I… I didn’t say that they couldn’t,” Wang Zichen said weakly. Only then did he realize that he had said something wrong.
“Anyway, Dad can get married twice. Mom can similarly do the same. Men and women are equal,” Wang Zimeng said.
Wang Zichen felt enemies surrounded him on all sides. He could only nod obediently. “They’re equal. You’re right!”
