Chapter 859: Chapter 858: Scumbag
Wu Lihong had long settled down elsewhere, and Mada Zhou had heard these words countless tis over the years, even Wufu had ntioned it many tis. She had actually considered this possibility herself and had prepared for it, keeping a faint hope alive at the sa ti.
But hearing Wu Lihong personally confirm the truth shattered Mada Zhou’s heart, it was like being sliced with a knife, bleeding profusely, feeling as if the sky were falling.
Regardless of who she is, a woman hopes her beloved will be undivided in their affection; Mada Zhou was no exception, she was just an ordinary person in this mortal world.
Back then, the two pledged lifelong commitnt, and he had clearly written her a Marriage Certificate, made promises to her, yet in a blink, he married another woman, bore children with her. What did that make her? What did that make Wufu?
“You said it was arranged by the family, so you married another woman and had both sons and daughters. What about us? Mr. Wu, what about
and Wufu?” Mada Zhou asked with a bitter smile: “Where do you place the two of us? What is the purpose of your return this ti?”
Wu Lihong said: “Don’t worry, I won’t abandon you two. I will bring you back, and have Wufu recognized by the family. After all, she is my daughter, isn’t she?”
“In what capacity will you bring us back?” Mada Zhou looked at him in inquiry.
Wu Lihong’s face froze, slightly embarrassed as he said: “Mada, you are in my heart, distinct from anyone else. All these years, I’ve never forgotten you. Rest assured, I’ll treat you well, compensate you two properly, and find her a worthy husband.”
These words were clearly evasive, avoiding Mada Zhou’s question.
Mada Zhou was not foolish, and hearing this, her heart felt cold, releasing his hand.
“Mada,” Wu Lihong felt guilty, as he should, being gone for so many years.
Mada Zhou forced a smile: “Since you have important matters to attend to, you should go handle them first. Business is urgent. Wufu is not at ho now; if I return to Huayang there’s nothing much, there’s a hot spring on the estate, the scenery is nice, and I want to stay a while longer.”
“Mada, don’t be this way.” Wu Lihong frowned, saying: “You’ve always been understanding, can’t you consider it from my perspective? Can’t you forgive ? I truly didn’t intend to hurt you, but what happened back then, I had no choice! Should I have beco a disobedient son and angered my grandfather to death?”
Mada Zhou’s heart ached.
“Mr. Wu, you should go back now!” Mada Zhou turned away, directing Qiu Xiang: “Show the master out.”
Qiu Xiang imdiately said: “Master, let
escort you out of the estate.”
Wu Lihong’s brow furrowed tightly, could it be that Mada’s nature had turned resolute as well? She was never supposed to be this way, having always been gentle. How could she contradict his intentions? She should have considered him, how could she show such stubbornness? Had he indulged her too much these past few days?
He felt so displeasure, but seeing her fragile face and rembering her living a solitary life with their daughter with so many years of waiting softened his heart. He gently said: “Mada, you stay here, and I’ll co back to pick you up in a few days, how about it?”
Mada Zhou said nothing.
Wu Lihong sighed, turned around, and walked out quickly disappearing beyond the door.
Mada Zhou took two steps after him, but ultimately only leaned against the door fra, full of lancholy as she watched his silhouette fade away.
Tears rushed forth; unable to hold them back, Mada Zhou turned and went back to her room, crying.
