Reborn as Tycoon's Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 429 - 372 Please leave Ye Cheng_3

Of course, his intelligence was limited to other areas. When it came to matters of men and women, he was probably completely clueless.

Yes, that had to be it, because he could accept Xiaofeng’s body and couldn’t accept any other woman’s body. He thought that as long as Xiaofeng didn’t despise him, he could accept everything about her.

Thinking about it this way, Xiaofeng’s schemes were quite deep, it was just a pity for her foolish son who knew nothing of men and women.

Xiaofeng, listening to Yan Junmei’s words, was somewhat caught between laughter and tears.

This marriage was originally just a matter of certificate, as long as both parties agreed, they could split at any time.

It was just that during the process, things slowly started to change.

"Mom, if I say that I never intended to marry Yecheng from the start, you definitely wouldn’t believe me," Xiaofeng said with a self-mocking smile, "I want to tell a story, do you want to hear it?"

"Go ahead," Yan Junmei was curious to hear what kind of story Xiaofeng could come up with.

"The story begins a year ago, when I..." Xiaofeng started from how she got pregnant and how she met Ye Cheng, including the time she saved him: "That day, Ye Cheng came to me, said he was going back to where he belonged. But before leaving, he wanted to help me out, as a way to repay me for saving his life. At that time, my belly was already very noticeable. You know, in the countryside, to be pregnant before marriage is a very immoral thing. Even if the child could be safely born, they would still face the pointing fingers and even spine-poking comments from the villagers."

She paused, "When Ye Cheng brought up this matter, saying he could marry me, enabling my baby to be registered in the household without being born as an unregistered child, I was tempted. Our agreement at the time was that Yecheng was just giving me a hand. Once my child was born and successfully registered, if one party requested it, the other could not refuse, and we could divorce anytime."

Upon hearing this, Yan Junmei’s brows relaxed, realizing she had been overthinking. Resolving this issue was going to be quite simple.

"I also thought that we would divorce once my child was born," Xiaofeng said with a laugh, as some things, it seems, even she couldn’t believe herself.

During this process, she had fallen for Ye Cheng.

"It’s good if you’re willing to divorce," Yan Junmei’s face looked better, "You saved Yecheng back then, and I’m very grateful. I believe Yecheng thinks the same way. I don’t have any bias against you, on the contrary, I’m grateful to you. After all, the past between you and Yecheng is quite beautiful. But, Xiaofeng, I can accept everything else, I just cannot accept that your child doesn’t share the Gu family’s bloodline."

The Gu family was important, and Yecheng was an only child. Even if Yecheng wasn’t up to par, she hoped he could have his own children and carry on the Gu family lineage.

Yan Junmei’s thoughts were something Xiaofeng could understand.

If she were in Yan Junmei’s position at that age, she definitely couldn’t accept a child that wasn’t biologically related to Shuhan.

She would certainly hope he could have his own children too.

"Mom," Xiaofeng felt a bit sorry for Yan Junmei, "I know the matter of the boy and girl twins has embarrassed you, just tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Yan Junmei didn’t like to hear that, what did "what do you want me to do" mean: "Xiaofeng, your marriage to Yecheng wasn’t real to begin with, it was an agreement between you two. Since that’s the case, you should tell Yecheng that you don’t like it here, you don’t want to stay in the Imperial Capital, and that you want to dissolve your marriage with him."

If Xiaofeng was smart, she would know what to do.

"Yecheng is his father’s heir; there can’t be even the slightest flaw in his character or morals, or else he could be reported and lose his eligibility as the Gu Family heir, do you understand?" Yan Junmei’s face grew solemn as she spoke, "If it weren’t for this reason, why would my father have chosen to leave the Imperial Capital with Yecheng and quietly treat his illness?"

If it weren’t for the fear of Yecheng’s illness being exposed, giving those with ulterior motives an advantage, why else would my father-in-law have had to take Yecheng away for three years before they finally returned not long ago.

Xiaofeng genuinely did not know this, but listening to Yan Junmei, she felt that this era was perhaps different from the 1990s she belonged to.

Because here, positions seem to be inherited, much like in ancient times when the son could inherit the father’s position, and the grandson, the son’s.

"Now that this affair has been exposed, it is greatly disadvantageous to him. If at this moment, you could step forward to clarify the situation and tell everyone that Yecheng married you only to help you out and did not intend to become real husband and wife..."

Listening to Yan Junmei, Xiaofeng’s eyelashes fluttered.

To be honest, if Yecheng personally told her to divorce, she wouldn’t blink an eye before agreeing.

Yet, she had just promised Yecheng the day before yesterday to brave the storm with him, to walk this extraordinary path. If she agreed to Yan Junmei, wouldn’t she be betraying Yecheng?

"Mom," Xiaofeng pondered for a while before speaking again, "If Yecheng personally tells me, I will agree without hesitation."

Yan Junmei’s expression changed, "What do you mean? Don’t you want to leave Yecheng? Could it be that after marrying Yecheng, you’ve discovered how good his family background is, how nice he is, and now you want to turn this sham into reality, to actually be his wife?"

Indeed, who was Yecheng? He was one of the shining stars in the Imperial Capital, not just someone like Su Xiaofeng, but someone many prestigious families in the Imperial Capital aspired to marry into.

"Mom, you can think of me that way." Xiaofeng didn’t want to refute; if she didn’t divorce, how was that any different from what Yan Junmei said?

"You don’t want to divorce Yecheng, that’s fine, but you have to send your children back to the countryside. Our Gu Family doesn’t intend to raise someone else’s kids." Yan Junmei felt like a wicked mother-in-law, but for Yecheng, for the Gu Family, she had to do this.

"Mom, I know that all you’ve said is for Yecheng." Xiaofeng could actually understand the other party’s perspective.

"I don’t want to hear anything else, I just want to ask you one thing, do you want to divorce Yecheng or not? Rest assured, if you divorce Yecheng, as his wife of record, the compensation we Gu Family owe you will certainly not be shortchanged. With it, once you return to your small county town, you and your three children could live with dignity, be well-fed and clothed," Yan Junmei asserted.

Xiaofeng, listening to these words, felt a sense of familiarity.

How much it resembled the modern romance dramas where a rich second-generation fell for a poor girl, but his family objected, leading the man’s mother to offer the woman money to leave her son and become a stranger from then on.

She just never thought that one day, she would become the heroine of such a romance drama.

With a light smile, "Mom, I know the Gu Family is well-off, that a single word from you can ensure I live a worry-free life for the rest of my days. But Mom, I can’t agree to this request for now, please forgive me."

In her heart, she couldn’t help but sigh; why had she agreed to face adversity together with Yecheng a few days ago? If she hadn’t, she could have made a smooth concession to Yan Junmei and then left with Erbao without any ties.
