Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey

Chapter 59: Chapter 59: The Ancestors Listen to Gossip
 

Mr. Cao felt as if all his blood had boiled over, rushing to his head, “Wang Lijuan, you shameless woman, do you even have a face? None of these three kids are mine, and you still have the nerve to say I cheated first?! Before the birth of the first and second child, I certainly did not mess around! How shameless can you get!”

“Yes, these children are indeed not yours, but that’s because you are impotent!”

Wang Lijuan clenched her teeth tightly.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Even Mr. Cao was shocked, “You crazy bitch, what do you mean? Clearly, it’s you who has done something wrong to me, you…”

“You’re farting!” Wang Lijuan fiercely interrupted Mr. Cao’s words, her eyes red with anger, “The kids are indeed not yours! And that’s because, you are sterile! That year when your parents took us to the hospital for a check-up, the results showed that you were the one who couldn’t have children!”

Mr. Cao stood there, completely stunned.

“Wha- what…”

Cao Jiadong’s children were equally dumbfounded.

Since their father was sterile, how they were born was self-evident.

Even if Mr. Cao had mentioned it just now, they had never doubted their paternity, thinking only that there might be some misunderstanding between their parents.

But Wang Lijuan’s words…

Forced them to believe.

Xia Xin’s attention was also drawn over, he grabbed Jiangli, who was looking around, forcing her to listen along.

Jiangli, still absorbed in the current residence, had not yet reacted when she was pulled over by Xia Xin, frowning impatiently, but unable to say anything.

At this moment, however, Wang Lijuan collapsed into unstoppable tears, squatting down with her head in her hands, sobbing as she recounted the past.

She and Mr. Cao were indeed a loving couple at first, starting a business from scratch together, and their life gradually improved.

For the first few years, they didn’t have children due to their focus on the business.

Later, as life got better, both sets of parents began urging them to have kids quickly.

But after trying for a long time, they still couldn’t conceive, and Mr. Cao’s parents took them to the hospital for a check, saying they knew a doctor who could get them checked out quickly.

When the results came out, Mr. Cao was busy with business, so he wasn’t at the hospital.

The true results were known only to Wang Lijuan and his parents.

Upon learning that Mr. Cao was sterile, his parents first collapsed in despair but then came around and nearly knelt down to beg Wang Lijuan, pleading with her not to disclose the matter.

They were terrified that, if word got out, their son would not be able to face anyone.

At the time, Wang Lijuan deeply loved her husband and knew too well that Mr. Cao was too proud to ever admit defeat; learning the truth would crush him, so she agreed to keep it a secret.

However, not long afterwards, Mr. Cao’s parents felt it was too pitiful for the household to be without a child.

Since Mr. Cao had no siblings, who would inherit all the family assets in the future? They needed children to care for them in their old age.

Later, they found out about technologies like IVF that could enable Wang Lijuan to conceive.

The child would not be their son’s, but it would be born of Wang Lijuan.

They thought that as long as Wang Lijuan was the mother, it was as good as their own family.

Otherwise, without a child, their lives would be too lonely.

Initially, Wang Lijuan disagreed with her in-laws’ suggestion, but she couldn’t withstand their persistent pleas, and their life-and-death persuasion led her to give in.

This led to their first child.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Cao suddenly remembered; no wonder his family’s attitude toward Wang Lijuan had taken such a drastic turn after the hospital results that time.

His parents loved Wang Lijuan even more and treated her better, as if they wanted to spoil her to the skies, and they reminded him every day to treat Wang Lijuan well.
