My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 826 - 835 Mother’s Best Friend 4

"At that time, I was going to marry my boyfriend, I was already pregnant!" Auntie Zhang painfully closed her eyes.

Lin Xiangwan’s heart twitched. "Auntie Zhang!"

So her mother was that shameful; the other woman was pregnant, and yet she had the audacity to interfere in their relationship.

Auntie Zhang shed tears, but quickly wiped them away. "Actually, there’s no reason to be sad, maybe I should even thank her. She made me see a man’s true colors."

"Did you break up with him?" Lin Xiangwan didn’t know why, but seeing the sadness in the auntie in front of her, she felt sad too.

Indeed, she should feel ashamed for her own mother.

Auntie Zhang nodded. "Yes, I was very proud at that time, and back then, a man having relations with another woman was an unforgivable act. So I broke up with him. Initially, he didn’t know I was pregnant. He was very regretful and begged for my forgiveness, but I didn’t give him a chance. I even left B City. I had a very good job; after graduating, I stayed at the Central Music Academy, right in the position of a piano teacher."

"You even gave up your job?" Lin Xiangwan spoke with a touch of panic, the auntie before her was quite formidable for that era.

"Yes, because my parents and his were family friends. My parents asked me to forgive him. People from my parents’ generation were more forgiving than mine, after all, they lived through eras where men could have multiple wives and concubines, but I couldn’t. I was influenced by the new era; I couldn’t forgive him. Then I left B City for S City, and I have been working there for many years."

"What about your child?" Lin Xiangwan asked. "Did you abort it?"

Auntie Zhang nodded vaguely. "Yes!"

"It’s probably for the best. In that era, a woman with a child was too difficult. With no way to survive, even if you gave birth, you’d probably have to either give them away or abandon them!" Lin Xiangwan said with great sadness.

In fact, she really wished that her mother had chosen to abort her back then; that might have been better.

Oh, no, if she really had been aborted, then she wouldn’t have had the chance to meet Qin Muchuan or to give birth to a pair of dragon-phoenix twins. No, it was better that she was kept. It’s best not to think about being aborted!

That man might have been her father.

"After you left him, my auntie... she didn’t seem to marry him," Lin Xiangwan inquired.

"That kind of family, how could they possibly marry your auntie? That was out of the question." Auntie Zhang was very certain.

"So you mean, even if you left him, my auntie didn’t stand a chance either!"

Auntie Zhang replied directly. "At the time, after I left, within half a year, his family pressured him into marriage. It wasn’t like now, with so many older singles who don’t marry. Back then, if you’re of age, being half a year late was already too much. Moreover, I had no intention of going back, when he saw I was truly done, he relented and married a girl of similar standing."

"Didn’t he try to find you?"

"He did, but he couldn’t find me!"

"And then?"

"After he got married, he took a business trip to S City, and by a stroke of bad luck, we ran into each other at a department store. He was there to buy a gift for his new wife and I happened to be selecting clothing."

Lin Xiangwan’s heart ached. "When you saw him, what did you feel? Were you sad?"

Auntie Zhang nodded. "It felt like a lifetime had passed. I really, really wanted to throw myself into his arms. I wanted to curse him, to complain about him..."

Lin Xiangwan could understand Auntie Zhang’s feelings. That era unless it was true love, how could one so easily give oneself to a man?

Of course, her mother’s situation was different; her mother got in bed with a man for a purpose.

"And him? How did he react when he saw you?"

"He cried!" Auntie Zhang said with tears, "He held me and cried, knelt down before me. He asked me why couldn’t I give him a little bit of trust, why wouldn’t I listen to his explanation, he hadn’t been with Li Hongge; that day he was actually coming to find me. It turned out Li Hongge had spiked his milk with sleeping pills, which he drank because he was hungry at the time... not knowing it contained the drug."

An old trick, no matter how many years pass or how many eras, there are still many scheming women using it. And it seems, it never fails.

"But he didn’t do anything, he was certain because he passed out!" Auntie Zhang said with a bitter smile, "I believed what he said at that moment because when I called him, he really didn’t react. But then, with Li Hongge in front of him, I thought he was too scared to face me. I ran out and he didn’t chase after me; I thought he really didn’t want me!"

"Do you regret it then?" Lin Xiangwan asked again.

"What can regret change? He has already married another wife, he can’t divorce to marry me again. And I can’t do that either, I can’t ruin that woman! Moreover, he’s a responsible man; he wouldn’t divorce his wife!"

Lin Xiangwan’s heart sank again. From Auntie Zhang’s words, this man was probably not her father after all?

Then who in the world was her father?

Where could she start looking?

"Auntie, are you sure... your boyfriend never had anything with my auntie? Nothing ever happened between them?"

"I am certain!"

"What about my auntie? What happened to her afterward? Did she have another boyfriend? Did she ever marry? Have children?" Lin Xiangwan asked urgently.

Auntie Zhang looked at Lin Xiangwan strangely. "Isn’t it odd? Li Hongge is your auntie, how could you be unaware of her affairs?"

"She’s always been abroad, I really don’t know. My auntie mentioned she had a daughter, asking for my help to find her. You know she’s about to die, if she really has a child, I thought of finding the child to send her off. No matter if she’s good or bad, living once in this life, after being executed, there should be someone to see her off," Lin Xiangwan replied cunningly.

Auntie Zhang was more puzzled. "She said she has a daughter?"

"Yes!" Lin Xiangwan nodded.

"I’m not sure if she has a daughter, all I know is she has stolen someone’s child and even sold the child," Auntie Zhang said with deep resentment.

"Ah?" Lin Xiangwan’s heart skipped a beat, jolted once again.

What other heinous acts had Li Hongge committed? How could every single one be so unforgivable?

She really was beyond good and evil, deserving death. How could she have such a mother, she genuinely didn’t like her at all.
