Chapter 327: Chapter 327: Witnessing an Ugly Incident
In fact, Tong Yao’s guess was spot on, Lin Fengying and Si Weimin were indeed frustrated.
Both of them thought that after so many years had passed, if Si Chen had knowledge about those affairs, he would have surely spoken out by now, if he intended to. Because once the truth came out, the ones embarrassed wouldn’t just be them, but Si Chen himself as well.
After all, they were family, bound by shared honor and disgrace. They never expected that Si Chen wouldn’t spare them any dignity and would directly put them in an embarrassing position in front of Tong Yao.
What angered Si Weimin the most was that, it was acceptable if Si Chen disregarded him and held a grudge against him, but he also disrespected Lin Fengying and didn’t spare her any dignity either.
It seemed, the person Si Chen loathed was not just one person.
The more Si Weimin thought about it, the more his complexion darkened. Lin Fengying’s heart was even more disheartened. As soon as they left the family compound, tears started gushing out uncontrollably. When they were about to reach the rented apartment, she couldn’t hold back any longer and beat her chest while sobbing.
"It’s all because I lost face. If I wasn’t so shameless back then, Xiaochen’s father wouldn’t have died, and I wouldn’t be humiliated by my son at this age. It’s all because I was shameless. A shameless woman like me should be punished, I’m not worthy to live in this world."
Seeing Lin Fengying’s unbearable pain and sorrow, even Si Weimin’s heart of steel melted. He stopped walking, pulled Lin Fengying into his arms, and gently patted her back to comfort her.
"Sister-in-law, don’t say such things. It’s not only your fault, I’m also to blame. If I wasn’t so ignorant back then, this tragedy would have never occurred....."
Thinking about the past, Si Weimin found it difficult to voice his feelings. He genuinely wanted to forget the past and live the rest of his life in peace. But his past mistakes were like nightmares, haunting him constantly.
He couldn’t shake them off nor could he leave them behind.
Given how things had escalated, he didn’t even know how to handle the situation anymore.
After all these years, as Lin Fengying rested her head on his familiar shoulder again, it felt as though a pot of warm wine had been poured into her chest on a frosty winter day. The bitterness she had been suppressing for so many years seemed to have found a vent, making her tears gush out even more violently. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that she was crying her heart out.
"If it wasn’t for Xiaohui being a kid and you leaving, I would’ve jumped into the river. Our family was broke and we had to raise three kids. The villagers were always gossiping. I really wanted to end my life at that time and relieve myself of all these troubles. I should have just died! I regret it now! Why didn’t I kill myself? Why did I hang on to life and live through this, only to experience such humiliation at this age?"
"Sister-in-law, don’t speak like this. If someone really had to die, it should’ve been me..."
"Weimin?"
Si Weimin hadn’t finished speaking when he was interrupted by a familiar voice from behind. Si Weimin froze in place, and the surprised Lin Fengying quickly pulled away from his embrace. As she wiped away her tears, she tried to explain to the approaching Yuan Caizhen.
"Caizhen, it’s not what you think....."
"Shut up."
Yuan Caizhen slapped Lin Fengying hard on the face, her body was shaking uncontrollably, and her mind went blank.
She had only felt that the duo ahead looked familiar, so she decided to call out to them, but she hadn’t expected that it was indeed Si Weimin and Lin Fengying.
No wonder her husband hadn’t returned home. Apparently, he was busy comforting his sister-in-law.
Their child was sick and in the hospital, yet those two were cuddling and engaging in frivolities. If it weren’t for the fact that she ran out of cash at home and it was too late to withdraw money tonight, she wouldn’t have come here to ask her husband for money and wouldn’t have stumbled upon this shameful act.
It seemed like everything was predestined.
She had always been curious about why her husband was always longing for his hometown but never visited it, and why Si Chen harbored such deep hostility towards her husband. Now, everything was clear.
Seeing Lin Fengying being hit, Si Weimin’s guilty conscience surfaced for a moment, but then his face changed drastically. He quickly pulled Lin Fengying behind him and rebuked his wife, "Can’t we talk this out? Why would you raise your hand?"
"I just gave you a light slap even after you two did such a shameless thing. Both of you, the dog-man and woman, are shameless. It’s shameful you both are not struck dead by lightning. No wonder Si Xiaohui and Si Chen don’t look alike, but resemble you. You always cherished her as a rare gem, I naively believed she was truly your niece. In fact, she is the bastard child you two secretly conceived." n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
Seeing her husband trying to protect Lin Fengying, Yuan Caizhen felt like she was about to explode with anger. She felt that all the foul language in the world wouldn’t be enough to insult them. If she had a knife, she would’ve killed both of them right there.
She never dreamt that the man she had spent over a decade with could be so filthy. She felt an urge to devour Si Weimin alive.
She felt the two people before her were more disgusting than maggots in a cesspool.
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Si Weimin, out of sheer anger and shame, attempted to strike Yuan Caizhen but Lin Fengying held him back.
"Weimin, don’t lose your temper, Caizhen is just misunderstanding. I will explain everything to her."
After speaking, she turned to Yuan Caizhen with an urgent look on her face and explained, "Caizhen, don’t misunderstand, it’s really not what you think. We just came from Xiaochen’s house. I had a fight with him and was crying due to the heartbreak. Weimin was just comforting me, we are completely innocent..."
"Why don’t you strip naked and comfort each other on the bed then? A brother-in-law and sister-in-law hugging and whispering sweet nothings at this hour. If you have the courage, explain in public and see who believes you. You disgusting couple. No wonder you left your underwear under my pillow, were you trying to seduce him? You’ve achieved your goal. After being separated for so many years, you’ve rekindled your old romance again."
Yuan Caizhen was completely broken. She amused them with the sharpest of words, yet the rage in her heart did not diminish, but rather kept fuelling up.
"Enough!" Si Weimin tried to suppress Yuan Caizhen’s hysteria with his roar, he angrily said, "What’s gotten into you this late at night? There’s nothing going on between me and my sister-in-law. I was just comforting her because she was crying. Why are you creating a scene out of nothing?"
In the wake of such a catastrophe, Si Weimin was surprisingly clear-headed. He understood that if he showed any signs of guilt or admitted to having an affair with Lin Fengying, there would be only one outcome, his wife would take their son and divorce him.
The home he had painstakingly built for more than a decade would go up in smoke.
As long as he didn’t admit anything, he would still have room to maneuver. Therefore, although Si Weimin was feeling guilty, he pretended to be confident.
Seeing Si Weimin still trying to deny everything, Yuan Caizhen’s anger surged. She felt that the man she had lived with for over a decade was the most disgusting thing in the world. Grinding her teeth, she said.
"Si Weimin, stop trying to lie your way out of this. Seeing you makes me sick. I want a divorce. I feel nauseous just looking at you."
