Chapter 502: Chapter 503: Reality Delivers Him a Hard Punch Once Again
Her grandfather warned her that the Zhang family was a pit of fire, advising her not to jump in.
But, blinded by what she thought was love, she had jumped in without hesitation.
She had wasted the most beautiful years of her life on this beastly mother and son duo.
She was wrong.
She regretted it.
She longed to see her grandfather.
She wanted to tell him that he was right, that she had been blindsided.
She admitted her mistake, she was willing to change, and promised to listen to her grandfather and uncle from now on, and begged them to forgive her.
Seeing her pitiful tears, Ye Xingbei sighed quietly, stepped forward, and helped her up from the ground.
As Qiao Yi hugged him, she wept loudly, as if releasing all the grievances she had suffered in the Zhang family over the years.
Ye Xingbei comforted her by patting her back and said to Gu Chi: “Call the police.”
Even though slipping contraception into her daughter-in-law’s meals wasn’t a criminal offense, she still wanted to charge this malicious woman and make her pay the price she owed.
Mother Zhang was ignorant of the law.
She thought that secretly feeding her daughter-in-law contraception was not illegal, but she was afraid that her understanding could very well be wrong.
She didn’t want to deal with the police, and even more so, she didn’t want to be thrown into jail.
Hearing Ye Xingbei suggesting to call the police, she trembled with fear and threw herself at Zhang Heyuan, clinging to his clothes, “Ah Yuan, you must persuade your wife not to call the police, we can’t involve the police! This is a family matter, how could we let the police interfere! You need to persuade her, persuade her!”
“Mom!” Zhang Heyuan looked at her painfully: “Why did you give Yiyi contraceptives? Didn’t you want a grandchild so badly? With contraceptives, how is Yiyi supposed to give you a grandchild?”
“I…I…” Mother Zhang looked flustered and stuttered in response.
“Is it really that hard to understand?” Ye Xingbei scornfully looked at Mother Zhang and said: “She’s a psycho, she couldn’t bear to see her daughter-in-law living well. She fed Yiyi contraceptives so Yiyi wouldn’t be able to have children. Then, she could use this as an excuse to berate Yiyi for being infertile. Yiyi would feel indebted to you all, putting herself beneath you, and continue to tolerate everything.”
Ye Xingbei laughed scornfully, “I’ve seen plenty of wicked mothers-in-law, but one so malicious as to manipulate her own son too, this is a first for me! Yiyi must have been blind to have married into your family. But now it’s over. Zhang Heyuan, it’s your turn with Yiyi, you should sign the divorce papers soon. When you marry again in the future, keep an eye on your mother, so she doesn’t ruin another girl’s life!”
Watching Qiao Yi crying uncontrollably, Zhang Heyuan felt his world was collapsing.
He never imagined that the real reason for Qiao Yi’s infertility was such.
He initially thought that even if he unhappily signed the divorce papers today, he could coax Qiao Yi into remarrying him someday. Given her affection for him, Qiao Yi would certainly consider it.
Aren’t there many couples who remarry after divorce?
But reality had just dealt him another heavy blow.
He never dreamed that his mother would do such a heinous act.
Thinking of all the grievances, humiliation, and sufferings Qiao Yi had endured all these years due to her infertility, a sharp pain stung his heart.
His mother had committed such a monstrous act, and he had unintentionally become an accomplice, going along with his mother in taking care of the woman who was serving as their surrogate, allowing her to give birth to a daughter for him.
But God knows why he did it?
His wife wasn’t infertile, but she was secretly being fed contraceptives by his mother!
