Reborn as an 80s-aged woman, her unfilial son begs for forgiveness on his knees.

As Shen Mingyuan pondered this, his movements slowed down.

The old general looked at his silent profile and ultimately did not continue the topic.

Some wounds need time to heal, and any further advice from others will only add to his burden.

He just hoped that such a good child could have someone who cares about her and is warm-hearted by her side, instead of spending the rest of her life like herself, clinging to memories.

"Come on, let's not talk about this anymore. Play a couple more rounds with this old man."

Light streamed into the room, casting long shadows of the two people.

It seems that some hardships and frustrations were temporarily set aside outside the chessboard with this ray of sunlight.

The wait may be endless, but as long as there is still light in our hearts, we can keep moving forward.

The crisp sound of chess pieces being placed on the board was refreshing, but Shen Mingyuan's thoughts drifted far away. He thought of Zhang Wenying's bright eyes, the fine lines at the corners of her eyes when she smiled, and the composed and unyielding manner she spoke.

He suddenly realized that perhaps the old general was right: falling down doesn't mean you have to be on your knees forever.

·······

Pan Wenfang is indeed pregnant.

The child is not Li Wenjun's.

Li Wenjun exploded, slapped Pan Wenfang twice, and then ignored her.

But Pan Wenfang still came to see Li Wenjun every day.

How will she live without Li Wenjun?

Pregnant out of wedlock, she's drowned in the scorn of others!

On that day, she went to find Li Wenjun but was instead met by Li Xiaojuan.

"Pooh!

Shameless slut.

This is the kind of woman that Li Xiaojuan despises the most.

She doesn't know how to support herself with her own hands; all she does is flirt with other women by relying on her looks.

No wonder the family life is not good if you marry a woman like that.

Pan Wenfang was already holding a grudge, and when she saw Li Xiaojuan, she immediately glared at her with a vicious look.

"Li Xiaojuan, who are you talking about?"

"Whoever answers, that's who we'll talk about."

This is truly an eye-opener; I've seen people pick up money, but I've never seen anyone pick up insults.

Are you a used woman?

The second child is really something.

Pan Wenfang even hospitalized him, yet he still treats this woman like a treasure; he must be out of his mind.

People passing by were secretly laughing.

I didn't expect this woman to be so quick-witted.

This is why Li Xiaojuan got divorced.

Otherwise, she wouldn't even be able to hold her head up in the Han family, let alone have the courage to say such things in front of others.

Pan Wenfang trembled with anger, her eyes reddening. The grievance and weakness she had shown when facing Li Wenjun had now transformed into sharp hatred.

"Li Xiaojuan, what right do you, a divorced woman, have to talk to me like this?"

You can't even keep your own man, yet you have the nerve to pretend to be so high and mighty here?

She gritted her teeth, her voice squeezed out from between them, tinged with hysteria.

"You think you're so clean? If the second son of the Han family hadn't looked down on you, would he have let you get a divorce?"

"A man whose man was stolen by his widowed sister-in-law has the nerve to come and swagger in front of me."

Li Xiaojuan's face turned pale, as if someone had publicly exposed her wounds.

But she didn't run away; instead, she stood tall.

"I'm divorced, so what?"

Is it my fault that the man in my family is having an affair with his widowed sister-in-law?

I got divorced because I didn't want to get involved with dirty people and messy affairs.

Unlike you, who knowingly clings to me even though the child in your belly isn't my brother's, do you really think you're some kind of hot commodity?

Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed, "Wow, this is huge news!"

This woman looks pretty, but I never expected her to be so promiscuous in private. She's carrying this man's child, yet she dares to come to his door and cause trouble. Her skin is thicker than a city wall.

"Li Xiaojuan, even if the child in my belly isn't Li Wenjun's, that good-for-nothing Li Wenjun will still come running over as soon as I beckon him."

Just you wait and see! Once Li Wenjun and I are married, I'll make sure you never have a good life!

First, she wants to take back the house that Li Xiaojuan owns and live in it herself.

What kind of married woman comes back to her parents' home after getting divorced and refuses to leave?

Everything in the Li family belongs to her son; the girls should all step aside!

"Keep dreaming."

You shameless woman, who gave you the audacity to carry an illegitimate child and still want to marry into our family?

Did they think my brother was some kind of junk collector who brought all sorts of junk home?

Even if my mom cuts ties with my second son, she won't allow you to step into our house!

Li Xiaojuan unleashed her full power, leaving Pan Wenfang speechless.

Someone like Pan Wenfang thinks she can marry into the Li family? Dream on!

Her mother used to spoil her three sons, so she wouldn't dare say something like that.

But now, even my mother doesn't care about my eldest son's precious child anymore, so how can she tolerate my second son bringing such a woman into the family?

"If my brother really dares to marry you, my mother will definitely kick Li Wenjun out of our house, do you believe me?"

Then you two can just sit on the street with that bastard and starve!

Haha, if my brother really married you, he probably wouldn't be able to sell all his hats.

Some people in the crowd started cheering, and Pan Wenfang's face turned bright red.

Some people realized the meaning behind Li Xiaojuan's words and laughed so hard they almost fell over.

Isn't that right?

She's not even married yet, and she's already expected to raise someone else's child? That's quite a sturdy job.

"Li Wenjun really likes me."

What right do you, as the older sister, have to interfere in my affairs with him?

"A snap of my fingers is more effective than you and your mother stabbing me in the back a thousand times!"

"If you're so capable, then go ahead and hook me up. But I don't think that's all you're good for."

"If you can really seduce my brother, then let him become your live-in son-in-law. Anyway, the Li family won't accept him with you."

"snort!

Li Xiaojuan, you're just being stubborn.

"Once Li Wenjun agrees to marry me, let's see if you'll still be laughing!"

Pan Wenfang felt depressed and annoyed.

Li Wenjun must have lost his mind. He had already agreed to marry her a couple of days ago and even promised to buy her a bicycle.

Pan Wenfang knew that Li Wenjun had already moved into the factory's staff housing.

That apartment building was bright and spacious, with a separate kitchen and bathroom, far better than the Li family's dilapidated courtyard.

She had already planned it all out. Once she married him, she could live in that building and would no longer have to squeeze into the leaky side room of the Pan family's house.

Besides, once she moved into that building, it would be much easier for her and Wang Dabao to meet.

But that idiot Li Wenjun turned his back on me as soon as he found out he was pregnant, and that day he even slapped me twice.

"You shameless woman, you're pregnant with someone else's child, yet you still come to me asking me to marry you. How can you be so shameless?"

"I, Li Wenjun, would rather remain a bachelor my whole life than marry a piece of trash like you!"

Thinking of this, Pan Wenfang bit her lip, tears finally rolling down her cheeks. Pointing at Li Xiaojuan's nose, she couldn't utter a coherent sentence for a long time. Finally, she stomped her foot, covered her face, and squeezed through the crowd, not forgetting to utter a harsh threat as she left: "You just wait, I won't let this go!"

It's alright, Li Wenjun is still angry. As long as she coaxes him a bit, his attitude will definitely not be so hard.
