Chapter 1880: Self Sacrifice
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ever since Zhai Hua bought another house, she had always been living in it with Jiajia and rarely returned to the Wei family. She didn’t expect Zhai Hua to come running to the Wei family today. If she had known, she wouldn’t have been so stupid to sacrifice Wei De’s and her son’s future for a moment of joy.
Ever since she became Wei De’s woman, she had only slept with him a few times. To her, it didn’t make any difference, and she didn’t have that kind of need. However, Wei Xiaomei was smart. She knew that she couldn’t hold a man if she felt average about such matters.
Before Zhai Hua married over, Wei De treated her more indifferently by the day. He never mentioned her when he occasionally contacted his family. However, ever since Wei De married Zhai Hua, there was once or twice that Wei De treated her better and was more attentive to Wei Wei, their son.
In addition, as Wei Xiaomei often accompanied Mother Wei to watch TV, she could gradually catch a little bit of Wei De’s attention. In order to safeguard herself more and let the Wei family pay more attention to her son, it’s not a big issue to sleep more often with Wei De since she was his wife to begin with.
Furthermore, Wei Xiaomei always understood in her heart that Zhai Hua would never have married Wei De if she knew that she was once Wei De’s wife. It was Wei De and the Wei family who had concealed her existence. However, reason and emotion were always kept separate.
In Wei Xiaomei’s eyes, it was all because of Zhai Hua’s appearance that caused her to be a culprit who had given birth to Wei Wei, a ‘fatherless’ child. It was Zhai Hua’s appearance that caused the ‘first half of her life’ to be so miserable and unbearable.
As such, Wei Xiaomei always had the pleasure of taking revenge against Zhai Hua when she slept with Wei De in Zhai Hua’s house behind her back. So what if Zhai Hua was the chief’s daughter? She had slept with Zhai Hua’s man. Wei De was willing to sleep with her instead of going home to accompany Zhai Hua. This was sufficient to show that in Wei De’s heart, she was actually better than Zhai Hua.
Revenge was revenge. However, Wei Xiaomei never thought of letting Zhai Hua know about her relationship with Wei De, let alone seeing them together with her own eyes. Upon thinking of that scene, Wei Xiaomei still felt lingering fear, and her face turned pale. Under the psychological influence, the places where Zhai Hua hit before ached even more.
“You’re not the only one who got into trouble.” Wei De closed his eyes. At this moment, he didn’t shirk his share of responsibility and push all the blame toward Wei Xiaomei. Although Wei De didn’t let Wei Xiaomei bear all responsibility, he still held a grudge against her. As such, he chose to close his eyes and not look at Wei Xiaomei.
To be honest, Wei Xiaomei was not as pretty as Zhai Hua. Zhai Hua wasn’t ugly. On the contrary, as she was a soldier previously, there was a special heroic charm to her. Furthermore, Zhai Hua grew up in the Zhai family. Her temperament that naturally formed due to family influence couldn’t be compared to Wei Xiaomei’s at all.
Thus, Wei De couldn’t understand. Was his brain not working well, or was he blind previously? Why did he spend the rare time and energy he had on Wei Xiaomei instead of Zhai Hua, coaxing her so that she became completely biased toward him?
In reality, didn’t he do a good job before marriage? It was precisely because he had coaxed Zhai Hua well that he was the company commander now. Why was it that after marriage, when success was more easily attainable, he became confused and foolish, causing the relationship with Zhai Hua to be so tense now?
“Brother, what should we do now? Will Sister Zhai Hua get a divorce with you?” Upon mentioning this, Wei Xiaomei’s face turned paler. She was really worried that Zhai Hua would divorce Wei De. Wei Xiaomei understood more than anyone in the Wei family that everything the Wei family owned today was all thanks to Zhai Hua.
Zhai Hua could let the Wei family lead a good life. Similarly, if the Wei family lost Zhai Hua, they would lose everything and drop from heaven to hell, going back to their lives before.
Upon thinking that her son was going to leave Ping Cheng and return to the countryside to study in a school with poor teaching quality and a poor environment and that he would either be a farmer or a manual laborer like the other children in the countryside in the future, Wei Xiaomei felt uncontrollable pain.
No, her son must not lead such a life. Her son should enjoy the best in this world and have the brightest future, becoming an elite. Otherwise, what was her suffering in silence and enduring all the pain over the years for?
Wei Xiaomei gritted her teeth so hard that they were about to be crushed. “Brother, why don’t we do this? Go and tell Sister Zhai Hua that I was the shameless one who removed my clothes to seduce you and you were an unwilling party. I even drugged you so that you would have sex with me in an unconscious state. As such, you hate me to death now and would never want to see me again in this lifetime. Brother, send me back to the countryside. Let’s not meet each other again in the future. Just treat Sister Zhai Hua well in the future.”
Only if he coaxed Zhai Hua could this matter be regarded as the past and her son’s future would be secure.
Wei De looked at Wei Xiaomei in surprise. “Are you serious?” If that was the case, as long as Zhai Hua was willing to play a fool and believe his words, this matter could be resolved just like that. There was no other way.
“Of course I am. As long as you and Xiao Wei are well, I’m a willing party no matter what I have to do. Brother, after I’m gone, take good care of Xiao Wei.”
Wei De looked at Wei Xiaomei differently now. This was the first time he valued Wei Xiaomei’s existence. A woman was willing to sacrifice herself for him to this extent. It was undeniable that Wei De’s self-esteem as a male was greatly satisfied, and he was also moved by Wei Xiaomei’s sacrifice. “Don’t worry. The rest don’t know, but you should know. Xiao Wei is my only son, and I can only have Xiao Wei as a son. Jiajia is a daughter, and she will be married off sooner or later. Everything I have will definitely be inherited by Xiao Wei alone. You don’t have to worry about this at all.”
He had never changed his mindset about this at all.
Wei Xiaomei silently heaved a sigh of relief. “Brother, quickly share this with Sister Zhai Hua and send me away.”
What Wei Xiaomei didn’t say was that it was nothing to be caught in the bed. It had been so many years and so many times. Zhai Hua didn’t catch them in the act all this while, but an accident like this happened this year. What Wei Xiaomei was afraid of was that the relationship between her son, Wei Wei, and Wei De would be discovered one day, just like the relationship between her and Wei De.
