Actually, Luo Zhiming couldn’t deny that before he brought Xu He into the family, even though he often did wrong and got reprimanded by his elder brother and despised by his sister-in-law, they always cared for him. No matter what he did wrong, they verbally gave up on him but still looked after him at the last mont.
It was really because he married Xu He and did too many things that wronged them that they completely lost heart, and he himself had no face to trouble them anymore, thus their relationship deteriorated day by day.
On the contrary, if he had been content to live a quiet life with Fang Xiu instead of getting involved with Xu He, he would definitely not be in the state he was now.
Maybe he would have been running the shop with Fang Xiu and their child, living a very comfortable life. Just thinking about it felt so warm.
Sadly, it was just his mistake to have taken the wrong path at that mont.
Now, Luo Zhiming knew in his heart that what Luo Zhiyong and the others said might be true. As the saying goes, there’s no smoke without fire; if these things weren’t true, they wouldn’t speak of them with such conviction.
Coupled with Luo Cuilan’s words, and thinking of the strange aspects when Xu He gave birth, he had his doubts back then but they were drowned out by the joy of having a son. Now he realized that it was all Xu He’s cover-up.
But at this point, all he could do was act as if he knew nothing, feeling as though by not thinking about it, he wouldn’t have to face it.
Seeing Luo Zhiming still not speaking, Luo Honglan was worried that he didn’t believe her and quickly said, "Second brother, elder brother and sister-in-law are telling the truth, we’re not guessing wildly. Eldest sister also told us about it before. If you really doubt it, I can lend you money to have the child’s paternity tested to see who the father is."
Luo Zhiming didn’t speak, but out of nowhere, he felt an intense bitterness. Was he still a man? Knowing the child wasn’t his, yet not daring to face it.
Then, Dashan, who had been silent, finally couldn’t hold back and tried to persuade him, "Zhiming, as the saying goes, blood is thicker than water. No matter what you did in the past, your brother is still your blood and won’t deceive you. I also know about this, and that’s why I never visited the child after he was born, because I knew he wasn’t my biological grandson."
"You all..." Luo Zhiming saw Dashan knew so clearly, and with everyone in the room staring at him, he felt like a clown bouncing around in front of them, bragging about having a son, while everyone was laughing at him.
Because he was ashad to face everyone, Luo Zhiming flew into a rage out of humiliation and said angrily, "Since you all knew so early, why didn’t you tell ? Are you happy to see being played like this?"
Pausing, he turned to Luo Zhiyong, "Elder brother, even if I really did sothing wrong, as you said, we are brothers after all, why do you treat like this..."
Then his eyes beca bloodshot, as if he had lost his reason, and he questioned angrily, "Dad, I am your own son, why do you also treat like this? If I had known this, I wouldn’t have saved you that ti Xu He drugged mom and you. It’s the sa whether I have a father or not, I..."
Before Luo Zhiming could finish, Luo Zhiyong’s expression beca stern, and he slapped Luo Zhiming in the face, pointing at him and scolding fiercely,
"Luo Zhiming, don’t always bla others whenever sothing goes wrong without examining yourself. Reflect on what kind of ss you’ve made these past few years. Why do you think just because you believed Xu He’s words you could persecute us, yet we still have to consider your feelings selflessly?"
Luo Zhiming, after being slapped by Luo Zhiyong, seed to sober up a bit. Feeling guilty for his irrational words, he fell silent and hung his head without saying anything.
Seeing this, Luo Zhiyong sighed, and with heartfelt advice said, "Zhiming, I hope you understand that whether it’s any relationship, be it between a man and a woman, relatives, or even family mbers, we talk about reciprocity. No one will selflessly give forever without any expectations."
"So, if you really think things through, I hope you can show so determination this ti. Don’t just bla others, but think about how to deal with the ss between you and Xu He, and we’ll talk about the rest later."
After hearing what Luo Zhiyong said, Luo Zhiming had nothing more to say; indeed, he had been the first to wrong his family over the years.
If he had not listened to Xu He in the first place and hard a pregnant Pingying, Luo Zhiyong would not have broken ties with him. Later, had he not believed Xu He and drugged Dashan, Dashan would not have ignored him.
In the end, he was the one at fault; he truly had no right to bla anyone.
He moved his lips, wanting to admit his wrongs, but being a person who was not good at admitting faults, in the end, he didn’t know what to say. After standing blankly for a while, he walked out with his head down, "I understand, then I’ll be leaving."
After saying that, he just walked away with his head bowed.
"Second brother..." Luo Honglan chased after him and, seeing Luo Zhiming’s lifeless silhouette, said worriedly, "Elder brother, if second brother is like this, will he be alright?"
As for this concern, Dashan was also worried but felt powerless, rely muttering, "This is really a misfortune; a good family has been turned into this."
Luo Zhiyong was also worried that Luo Zhiming would not be able to handle the blow and might do sothing drastic, so he turned to Fang Pingying, hoping she could think of a solution.
Frankly, Fang Pingying was so angry about Luo Zhiming’s situation that she didn’t want to deal with it.
There were two possible outcos: either Luo Zhiming would believe what they said, find out the child was not his own and in a fit of rage, go ho and kill Xu He.
Then Xu He would et an ill end, and Luo Zhiming would face legal punishnt.
Or Luo Zhiming would still choose to believe Xu He, acting as if nothing had happened.
Either way, Fang Pingying felt that Luo Zhiming, having done so many wrong things, deserved so punishnt, but she wouldn’t let Xu He off so easily.
Of course, since Fang Pingying had said so much in front of Luo Zhiming, it was impossible that he wouldn’t leak any of it. So she needed to be wary of Xu He escaping.
Moreover, out of consideration for Luo Zhiyong and the others, she was thinking of saving Luo Zhiming’s life if possible. Therefore, after Luo Zhiming left, she made a phone call, instructing soone to discreetly follow him to his place of residence to observe his reaction. If there was no murder or Xu He trying to flee, then there was no need to intervene.
