Chapter 266 That Woman Is Not Worth It

The child of Yu Wei was not from Xi Jinjiang. After learning this news, Tan Zheng and Song Ni did not show much reaction. They had already suspected this when they discovered the photos that night. After the new year, the two were busy. Song Ni was preparing to study in London, and for this, she specifically returned to Xing University to apply for a leave of absence. Her studies in London were not formal; it was through Bartley's introduction and a substantial donation that CS agreed to let her audit classes. Meanwhile, Tan Zheng was handing over the group's affairs. When Song Ni had some free time, she asked, "Do you want to see him before you go abroad?" Tan Zheng didn't speak, but Song Ni knew he wanted to. She also very much wanted to see what Xi Jinjiang was like. "Let's go for a visit. Auntie's legs have been swelling and aching, and I went to ask for medicine a few days ago." Tan Zheng responded with a hum and wrapped his arms around Song Ni's waist. "Nini." "Mhm?" "Why are you so good to me?" Song Ni's eyes fluttered slightly. She knew Tan Zheng was referring to their visit to his parents in Yancheng before the new year. She reached out and placed her hand on Tan Zheng's, tracing the veins. "I'm just paying for my infatuation." Everything she did was for her own feelings, not purely for Tan Zheng. Tan Zheng chuckled softly. "Then thank you, Nini, for being infatuated with me." Song Ni raised an eyebrow. "Then you should thank Mom for giving birth to me so handsomely." Tan Zheng smiled, and with a squeeze of his arms, he spun Song Ni around and held her close. "Mhm, thank you, Mom. So, should we have a little girl as beautiful as you? You're beautiful, so our daughter will surely be beautiful too." Song Ni: ... "Tan Zheng, do you think you're getting old? Rushing to have a child?" Tan Zheng's expression stiffened slightly. "I'm not even thirty, how can I be old?" "Then why are you in such a hurry to have a child?" "... Just teasing you." "..." Song Ni didn't quite believe Tan Zheng's excuse of teasing her. Ever since his sister-in-law got pregnant, Tan Zheng had been saying this. Clearly, he was envious seeing his brother about to become a father. However, at present, Song Ni hadn't included having children in her plans. Firstly, she was still young. Secondly, she still had her studies to finish, and after that, she wanted to open her own studio. Thinking about it, it would probably be difficult for the next few years. But... she couldn't bear for Tan Zheng to be like his brother, only becoming a father at an old age. They'd see, having a child also depended on fate. ... Two days before leaving for London, the couple departed for Yancheng. Song Ni was not one to shy away from meeting new people. She had already anticipated all possible ways she might be treated when she drove to Yancheng alone to visit his parents. But this time was different. Her feelings towards Xi Jinjiang were somewhat complicated. She wasn't like Tan Zheng, with no sense of brotherhood towards him. From what Tan Zheng had told her, she only knew that he was indeed very important to Tan Zheng. However... those five years... Thinking of this, Song Ni sighed. She didn't think Tan Zheng was wrong, but what about Xi Jinjiang? He was also a man of suffering. It was still early when they arrived in Yancheng. As soon as the car stopped, they heard various noises coming from the courtyard. As Song Ni alighted, she saw a broken chair leg through the gap in the door. Tan Zheng saw it too. Song Ni paused and instinctively looked at the man beside her. Tan Zheng had already strode forward and pushed open the courtyard gate. Chaos erupted. Xi Jinjiang lay on the ground, his wheelchair overturned, with shattered objects all around him. His parents stood nearby, their eyes red as they looked at Xi Jinjiang, and his mother was crying uncontrollably. Song Ni was also shocked by the scene. She had never seen Xi Jinjiang have an episode like this, but Tan Zheng had. The man stepped forward, grabbed Xi Jinjiang's arm, and turned to Song Ni. "Nini, take Uncle and Aunt inside first." Song Ni stepped forward to support his parents. "Uncle, Aunt, leave this to Tan Zheng, let's go inside." "But Xiao Jiang..." "Uncle, Aunt, trust Tan Zheng." Song Ni led the parents inside, closing the door to prevent them from worrying. Xi Jinjiang's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth, struggling fiercely. Tan Zheng held down his arm and calmed him with a single sentence. "Yu Wei is living freely and at ease. Why are you ruining yourself like this?" Xi Jinjiang stopped struggling and stared at his severed limbs, lost in thought. Suddenly, he let out a mad laugh. "Ruining myself? Do I need to ruin myself in this state?" Tan Zheng followed his gaze to his legs, his eyes dark. He righted the wheelchair and placed Xi Jinjiang back onto it. "While physical damage is beyond my help, you shouldn't suffer other torments." "Torments?" Xi Jinjiang threw his head back and laughed loudly. As he laughed, he began to pound at his severed limbs, tears streaming down his face. "With this broken body, what person can I keep?" Tan Zheng's veins bulged on his forehead. He truly disliked Xi Jinjiang being deceived by such a woman. "How many times have I told you, that woman is not worth it. After all these years with you, she abandoned you after your accident. What's the point of keeping her?" "What do you know! Weiwei and I have been together since college. She's about to marry me, we love each other so much, we're about to start a family, and have children!" Tan Zheng sneered. "Love? If you loved each other, she wouldn't have betrayed you or been unfaithful. And the child in her belly wouldn't belong to someone else." Xi Jinjiang's pupils widened, and he suddenly looked up at Tan Zheng. "What did you say?" Tan Zheng directly took out his phone and showed him the pregnancy report from back then. "Your last competition, which you were going to retire from, was in France. Yu Wei was in the country. You didn't return until a month later. It's unclear whose child it is, but it's definitely not yours. "What did she tell you back then? That the child couldn't be saved because you had an accident? In reality, she was beaten and miscarried. "Yu Wei was with someone else a year before your engagement. While you were fighting hard in competitions, and while you were meticulously planning your proposal, she was with another man. You're heartbroken over such a woman?" Xi Jinjiang's eyes turned crimson as he looked at the photo of the pregnancy report. His hands trembled, and he clutched his phone tightly. "No, no, it's not true, it's not true!" Tan Zheng squatted down and took the phone. "So, she didn't leave you because of your current condition. She was already unfaithful and had betrayed you long ago. Your accident just gave her an excuse." "No, it's not like that. Weiwei is so good, how could she... how could she..." Xi Jinjiang trembled all over, unable to utter the word. Tan Zheng dialed a number and handed him the phone. "If you don't believe me, then ask her yourself." Xi Jinjiang's eyes were wide, staring intently at the numbers, but he didn't dare to take the phone or make the call. "Afraid?" Tan Zheng pressed the call button in front of him. Ring, ring, ring— The sound was like a hammer beating and trampling on his heart. After a minute, the call connected. "Hello? Who is this?"
