“Do you really want to know the truth?” Chen Li asked Chen Zhiyi.
“Yes.” Chen Zhiyi answered with a resolute gaze. “I don’t understand why Aunt Qingzhu doesn’t want to tell me directly, but I want to know everything.”
“Before I tell you, I want to show you something very important.” Chen Li asked his official and unofficial women to go to a quiet place, and after they were ready, he opened several cracks before the two women.
Chen Zhiyi and Tian Qiu’s eyes widened in shock after seeing the cracks, but they were even more shocked after Feng Xian’er and the others came out of them.
Chen Li told his cousin. “Let me introduce them, they are my wives and fiancees.”
“What?” Both women exclaimed in shock, especially since they knew all the women.
Feng Xian’er then said. “Zhiyi, I know you must be shocked by our relationships, but my hubby didn’t lie to you, and they are indeed his wives and fiancees.”
“Since… since when did you become a casanova, Big Brother?” Chen Zhiyi asked as she looked at the women one by one. “Moreover, why are Big Sis Meiyi and Aunt Wei’er among them?”
“That’s because I am his wife, and Aunt Wei’er is his future wife as well.” Chen Meiyi nonchalantly answered her cousin’s question.
Chen Wei’er supported her niece’s words. “I’ve loved Li’er much longer than you, but I never dared to be as bold as you to confess to her in the past. However, our circumstances have changed, and I won’t hold back my feelings anymore.”
Chen Zhiyi was dumbfounded with wide eyes; even Tian Qiu was shocked to hear their confession, and they really never imagined that Chen Li would have incestuous relationships with his big sister and aunt.
“Why are you also willing to be his woman, Big Sis Xianglin?” Suddenly, Tian Qiu asked her.
Xiao Xianglin sighed softly before answering her question. “As Wei’er said just now, our circumstances are different, and you two will definitely not be able to understand our relationships. Although I didn’t love Chen Li at first, I have truly fallen in love with him now.”
Tian Qiu then looked at several mature women. “Aunt Hua? Aunt Xuan? Aunt Li? Aunt Lian’er? How could you guys be his wives? Moreover, he was the one who destroyed your families, but all of you chose to be with him instead.”
After all, her father was the president, and they came from prominent families, so Tian Qiu had met them often and knew them quite well.
“Yang Lang ignored me for several years, so I divorced him, and I decided to be with Chen Li then.” Yu Hua was the first to answer her.
Bei Lian’er nodded to Tian Qiu. “I never thought about being with him, but Yang Lang kept harassing me over and over again, so I divorced him to be with Chen Li.”
“As for me, I can’t care about Shen Lu’s death, especially since he’s a bastard.” Yang Li casually replied.
On the other hand, Yu Xuan admitted their affair openly. “Unlike them, I never divorced Bei Xiang, and I had an affair with Chen Li after we had a big fight. Moreover, he treated me with care and tenderness, so I felt comfortable with him.”
Tian Qiu massaged her forehead because she felt dizzy about their relationships, especially since Chen Li was much younger than them, and he was of the same generation as their sons.
Meanwhile, Chen Zhiyi fell into a daze after she listened to their confession; she then turned to the other eight women. “Are you all the same as them?”
“My little sister and I are not Chen Li’s women, and we are just guests at their house.” Di Chen answered as she pointed at Di Jing.
Mayumi Keiko and Shen Qing answered her at the same time. “I am his wife, just like them.”
“Hehe.” Yun Qing suddenly laughed. “Big Sis Zhiyi! I’ve loved Li Gege long before you, but I haven’t become his wife because I’m still underage, and I still have to wait a long time to become one, but I’m his fiancee now.”
“Me too!” Su Mengyao and Bei Yudie spoke as they raised their hands.
Sun Xing’er didn’t say anything to Chen Zhiyi, for she didn’t know her.
‘This guy is truly insane!’ Tian Qiu inwardly muttered as she looked at Chen Li, but she felt weird feelings toward him. ‘How could he conquer the hearts of so many women at once?’
Unlike her best friend, Chen Zhiyi found her resolution after she learned about Chen Li’s relationship with them, and she immediately said it to him. “Big Brother, I have loved you for so long, so I also want to be your wife like them.” ．
Tian Qiu facepalmed after she heard that; she still couldn’t understand why her best friend was so crazy about Chen Li. Even after she found out about his messy relationships, she still insisted on being his wife. ‘Sigh! You’re such an idiot, Zhiyi!’
“I’m sorry, Zhiyi. I know that you love me very much, but I won’t accept you as my wife.” Chen Li, with a serious look, answered her.
Some of his women were surprised to hear Chen Li’s answer, but they didn’t know about the problems between their husbands and Chen Hu, so they wanted to persuade their husband, but Feng Xian’er immediately stopped them. ‘You guys don’t need to interfere with the problems between them; let our husband solve the problem with Zhiyi himself.’
Hearing that, they could only sigh in their hearts, and they gave up their intention to persuade Chen Zhiyi.
“Why? Why are you not willing to accept me?” Chen Zhiyi asked in a high voice and stumbled backwards slightly, but Tian Qiu immediately supported her, and she started sobbing. “You even took Big Sis Meiyi and Aunt Wei’er as your wives, but why are you rejecting me again?”
Feng Xian’er nodded to him as her husband turned to her, and Chen Li immediately asked Chen Zhiyi. “What would you do if I killed your father?”
Chen Zhiyi instantly froze when she heard his question; she really didn’t expect that Chen Li would ask something like that. “Why? Why do you want to kill my father? I know that my father never liked you, and he also often treated you badly, but you didn’t need to kill him, right?”
“You’re right; I shouldn’t kill Chen Hu just because of that.” Chen Li’s expression turned extremely serious, causing Chen Zhiyi and Tian Qiu to shudder. “However, your father has made far more fatal mistakes than that, and I will never forgive him for all his actions.”
“What do you mean by that? What has my father done to you?” Chen Zhiyi asked in confusion, for she never knew about Chen Hu’s evil deeds.
“Have you ever thought about why your father suddenly decided to move to Europe?” Chen Zhiyi shook her head at him, and Chen Li told her straight. “Chen Hu lured my father to a place and handed him over to Long Jiuxiao and his cronies, and they ganged him to death. After that, your father was helped by them to move to Europe, and he has never dared to return to this country since then.”
“What?” Chen Zhiyi then shook her head vigorously and shouted at him. “Impossible! My father is Uncle Zhen’s little brother! He couldn’t possibly do such a thing to him!”
“I already expected that you wouldn’t believe my words.” Chen Li then pointed at Tian Qiu. “You can ask your best friend about that; she already knows about everything.”
Tian Qiu let out a heavy sigh when Chen Zhiyi turned to her, and she nodded at her. “Your cousin didn’t lie to you, and I’ve heard everything from my parents that Uncle Hu was involved in your uncle’s death.”
“How… how could that happen?” Chen Zhiyi muttered as she slumped in Tian Qiu’s arms. “Why… why did my father kill Uncle Zhen?”
“Chen Hu is a jealous and greedy person! He chose to kill his big brother just for the sake of wealth.” Chen Li fiercely said to Chen Zhiyi. “Moreover, I’m not the old me, and you don’t know the current me at all. For your information, some of them have already died at my hands, and some others will face the death penalty from the government, so only your father is left now.”
Hearing that, Chen Zhiyi looked at Chen Li with a look of despair, and her feelings were a complete mess after she found out everything. “Big Brother, I-”
“I know that you have nothing to do with the matter between us, but I also know that you won’t possibly be able to accept reality if I kill Chen Hu later.” Chen Li then opened a crack that connected to Qingshui Mansion, and he asked all of them to go straight in, except Mayumi Keiko and Xiao Xianglin. “Trust me, Zhiyi. I don’t care if you will hate me later, but I will never spare anyone who dares to hurt my family, and your father is one of them, especially since he betrayed my mother and Aunt Wei’er.”
After he sent Xiao Xiangling to Sacha’s palace, Chen Li opened another crack and took Mayumi Keiko into it, leaving Chen Zhiyi, who continued to cry.
Tian Qiu hugged Chen Zhiyi and let her cry in her chest, making her bodycon soaked with tears. “Qiu… why does everything have to be like this?”
