Five years without pregnancy means you're too weak; I remarried a powerful man and had triplets

"Yes, Zhizhi, look at the mess this has made. You've never been very healthy since you were little, and you haven't gotten pregnant in five years of marriage. Your dad and I were afraid you'd get anxious, so we didn't pressure you. But now it's been proven that Zhe is fertile, so it can only mean that you have a problem."

"Look how good Ah Zhe is. He doesn't look down on you at all. He even transferred the house to your name. He also told us that as long as that woman gives birth to the child, she will go abroad, and you will raise the child yourself, just like your own child."

"What more could you possibly want?"

Xu Jing didn't expect her husband to be so impulsive, and he slapped her.

Before coming, we had agreed to persuade her in the right way and not to push her too far. But since we had already done it, there was no other way but to step forward, gently hold Shen Zhiyi's hand, and persuade her with kind words.

Seeing the finger marks on her daughter's fair face, she touched them tenderly: "Zhizhi, don't be stubborn. Your parents know you're upset about this, but what can't be overcome? You've loved Azhe for so many years, can you really just let it go like that?"

"If you really care about having children, don't worry. Mom knows an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor who specializes in this. I believe that with time and proper care, you and A-Zhe will definitely have your own children. This house is big, so if you and A-Zhe have a few more, your dad, your in-laws, and I can all help take care of them. Also, this child will be the eldest in the future, so we can help take care of him too. Isn't that great?"

Xu Jing truly lives up to her reputation as a Chinese language teacher. She always speaks with both emotion and reason, and when she talks to students' parents, she can always hit the nail on the head and speak to their hearts.

Whenever the school needed someone to give a speech, the school leaders would send her up, simply because her voice was gentle and her speech was easy for people to understand.

Just like now, when she was slowly explaining things to Shen Zhiyi, her gentle tone made it easy for people to calm down.

Unfortunately, her starting point was wrong from the beginning.

She keeps saying that Shen Zhiyi is infertile, but that's fundamentally wrong.

Shen Zhiyi raised her head. The face that had been slapped was still faintly numb and looked a little swollen. She touched it lightly and felt pain.

"When I had my premarital checkup, there were no problems with my health."

"Later, I went to the hospital for a separate check-up, and they all said that there was nothing wrong with my body and that I could get pregnant."

Her voice was calm, not like a rebuttal, but more like stating a fact.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jing sighed softly, looking at Shen Zhiyi as if she were looking at an ignorant and stubborn child.

"Zhizhi, I didn't want to say this. But you still won't accept it, so I have no choice but to remind you."

She stared at her daughter, her tone still gentle, but the words were chilling:

"I went with you to the premarital checkup back then. When the results came out, I saw your good friend Tan Gui pull you aside and whisper a few words to you, and you handed her the report. When she came out again, she gave you a different piece of paper. At the time, I thought that as long as you two were healthy, it was fine, so I didn't ask any questions. But you haven't had any news for the past five years, how could I not have been suspicious? I just thought that you've been smart since you were little, and you wouldn't try to fool me on something that would be exposed sooner or later, so I never brought it up."

Xu Jing shook her head, her face full of helplessness, as if saying, "I'm doing this all for your own good."

"But now, although Zhe made a mistake, he did get that girl pregnant, which proves he's not the problem. And think back to how you insisted on marrying him and cried your eyes out back then... Sigh, what's done is done. Zhe has a good temper, he probably won't hold it against you. It's just Zhizhi..."

She changed the subject, gently patted Shen Zhiyi's hand, and spoke earnestly, her words piercingly:

"What did your father and I teach you from a young age? To be honest. Things have come to this point, why are you still arguing?"

Shen Zhiyi stared blankly at her mother, feeling as if someone was twisting her heart with a knife, the pain making her face pale.

The five-finger mark was even more obvious on that palm-sized face.

So many years have passed, and she still remembers this incident. Why did she have to bring it up now?

Moreover, seeing Xu Jing's eyes, Shen Zhiyi knew that she must believe in her heart that Xu Jing had tampered with the results on the report.

Moreover, Shen Ji, who was standing to the side, was also staring intently at her, his eyes filled with deep disappointment, clearly indicating that he already knew about this.

Although Xu Zhesheng was somewhat surprised, he seemed to have already guessed this matter. After all, Zhang Feng often mentioned it in front of him, and he had indeed proven that he was not the problem, so Shen Zhiyi must be the problem.

He stepped forward and embraced Shen Zhiyi, who was still trembling slightly, gently patting her back to comfort her, "Zhiyi, don't be afraid. Although you've kept this from me for so long, I really don't blame you."

"Just like Mom said, you're still so young. As long as you take good care of your health, we'll definitely have our own child."

"And you can use the child that Manman gives birth to as practice, take care of it, and lay a good foundation for our child."

He said in a serious tone that he had no feelings for Shen Zhiyi, nor for the child who was about to be born.

Shen Zhiyi could only laugh when she heard this, and his body temperature was much higher than hers. His hand, which was around her waist, almost burned her skin through the thin dress.

She shoved Xu Zhesheng away and retorted to Xu Jing, "Mom, are you so sure it's me and not him who has the problem?"

Seeing that she was still arguing unreasonably, Xu Jing's elegant face showed some anger, but she suppressed it: "What's wrong with A Zhe? He's already gotten someone else pregnant!"

"Is it possible that the woman was being unreasonable, and then wanted to find a good father for her child, so she's clinging to him?"

Now that things have come to this, Shen Zhiyi no longer wants to hide the truth for Xu Zhesheng. She closes her eyes and forces herself to calm down.

"Shen Zhiyi!"

Xu Zhesheng couldn't take it anymore. His gentle expression vanished instantly. "How come I never realized you were such a unreasonable and argumentative person!"

"I told you long ago, Manman was a virgin when she was with me! How could she frame me!"

Shen Zhiyi sneered: "Even if it wasn't a frame-up, it's possible she did it later! Besides, how can you be sure it was really her first time? Just because there was a little blood or a hymen? Surgery is so advanced these days, and she's not a child anymore. In the murky waters of the entertainment industry, can she really be that innocent?"

As soon as he finished speaking, even Xu Zhesheng, who has a good temper, couldn't control himself.

He lunged forward and grabbed her by the neck, veins throbbing in his temples, his eyes bloodshot: "Shen Zhiyi, take back what you said! I won't allow you to insult Manman!"
