Old Harden, can you handle having your vision-shifting abilities on all the time?

"But......"

Chen Zhiqiang still felt something was wrong, "But we can't not get married."

"Your daughter said she doesn't value that certificate."

Liu Meijuan stood up. "Besides, in today's society, there are many cases of unmarried women getting pregnant, so you don't need to worry too much about it."

"How could I not care? It would be so embarrassing if word got out!"

"Shameful?"

Liu Meijuan turned around, looking at him with a half-smile, "When you married me back then, it seems like you were the subject of a lot of gossip, weren't you?"

Chen Zhiqiang's face stiffened.

Liu Meijuan ignored him and continued, "Zhao Yongchang told me about this. He wanted you to be mentally prepared. Also, don't miss any key information. He was the one who introduced Xu Xing."

After saying that, she turned and went upstairs.

"etc!"

Chen Zhiqiang stopped her, "You're saying Zhao Yongchang told you about this?"

"right."

When did he tell you?

"This afternoon."

Chen Zhiqiang's face darkened further: "Why didn't he just tell me?"

"He would rather see me than you, and he would rather leave the favor to me than to you."

Liu Meijuan said without turning her head, "Because he knows I will help with this and support this matter."

Chen Zhiqiang was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

He took out his phone, found Zhao Yongchang's number, hovered his finger over the dial button, hesitated for a while, and finally pressed it.

The phone was answered after three rings.

"Zhao Yongchang!"

Chen Zhiqiang, suppressing his anger, said, "Look what you've done!"

"What good thing did I do?"

Zhao Yongchang feigned ignorance, "I just introduced Xinyi to someone, isn't that a good thing?"

"What a load of rubbish!"

Chen Zhiqiang cursed, "Look at the kind of person you've introduced me to! He got my daughter pregnant and still won't marry her! Are you introducing me to a potential partner or an enemy?"

"Ugh, I don't like hearing that."

Zhao Yongchang's tone also turned cold. "What do you mean by 'getting her pregnant'? It's a matter of mutual consent between a man and a woman, why does it sound so awful to you?"

"you!"

"Besides, what happened to Xu Xing?"

Zhao Yongchang interrupted him, "He's young and promising, worth over 100 million, and handsome. What makes him unworthy of your Xinyi? Don't take your good fortune for granted!"

"You're worthy? If you're worthy, why not get married?"

"That was Xinyi's own idea, what does it have to do with Xu Xing?"

"Don't try to fool me! What girl doesn't want to get married?"

"Then let me ask you, when you had your son with Liu Meijuan, were you divorced from my sister?"

Chen Zhiqiang was speechless after hearing this.

Zhao Yongchang snorted: "We're all men, some things are better left unsaid, why make things so ugly?"

"you!"

Chen Zhiqiang was so angry his chest tightened. "Zhao Yongchang, whose side are you on? Xinyi is your niece too!"

"I'm on Xinyi's side."

Zhao Yongchang said unhurriedly, "You know in your heart how you, as her father, have treated Xinyi all these years."

Chen Zhiqiang fell silent.

"After you started your new family, you basically ignored Xinyi."

Zhao Yongchang's voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction, "You didn't care when she went to college, you didn't care when she looked for a job, and you didn't even know when she suffered injustices outside."

Now that she's found a good man, you're jumping out to criticize her?

"I......"

Zhao Yongchang interrupted him: "Now that this has happened, Xinyi can at least be guaranteed a life of comfort with Xu Xing."

"But......"

"There's no 'but' about it."

Zhao Yongchang's tone left no room for argument: "Xinyi has grown up and has the right to choose her own life. You, as her father, either support her or leave her alone."

Chen Zhiqiang remained silent for a long time.

The living room was quiet, with only the ticking of the wall clock.

After a long pause, he finally spoke, his voice a little hoarse: "So what's the deal with that Lin Wan?"

"There's another woman named Lin Wan with Xu Xing, and she's friends with Xin Yi. What kind of mess is this, with the three of them all together?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.

"Is this so hard to understand? How could someone like Xu Xing lack women around him? Xin Yi's actions this time at least give him some explanation, ensuring he'll be well-fed and clothed for life and that his children will receive excellent treatment in the future."

Zhao Yongchang argued confidently, "At least Xu Xing wouldn't be as irresponsible as you!"

Actually, he was heartbroken as he said this. He really liked this niece, but things had already come to this point, and Xu Xing was someone he had introduced himself. At the time, Chen Xinyi had taken the initiative to interfere while he already had a girlfriend.

They now hold the initiative.

What can he do?

Just take it!

Chen Zhiqiang's face flushed red, and he opened his mouth several times but couldn't utter any rebuttal.

Zhao Yongchang continued, "I know who you are, Chen Zhiqiang, better than anyone. Back when you were still married to my sister, you were already having an affair with Liu Meijuan. Have you really kept a clean record all these years?"

"you!"

"We're all men, so let's not pretend to be saints."

Zhao Yongchang's voice carried a hint of disdain, "Xu Xing is far better than you. At least he didn't abandon her after starting something, and Xinyi herself was willing. What right do you, as her father, have to object?"

Chen Zhiqiang was speechless after being rebuked by him.

"Alright, I'm not going to waste my breath on you anymore."

Zhao Yongchang said, "I'll take care of the relatives on the Zhao family's side and make sure they don't say anything out of line during the New Year. As for your Chen family, you'll have to figure that out yourself."

"I……"

"Also, let me make this clear upfront."

Zhao Yongchang's voice turned cold, "If you don't want to acknowledge this son-in-law, that's fine too. You don't need to worry about Xinyi's future; I'll take care of it."

After saying that, Zhao Yongchang hung up the phone.

Chen Zhiqiang's face turned ashen as he listened to the busy tone on his phone.

He slammed his phone onto the sofa, cursing, "Zhao Yongchang, you're a fucking bastard!"

After he finished cursing, he felt powerless.

Although Zhao Yongchang's words were harsh, they hit him where it hurt.

He truly owes Chen Xinyi a great deal.

But he quickly suppressed those emotions.

No, this can't just end like this. It would be so awful if word got out that someone is pregnant before marriage and still not married.

Moreover, if his elders, especially his parents, found out about this, they would definitely scold him to death.

Especially his father, who was a traditionalist who valued his reputation the most.

If he knew that his granddaughter was pregnant out of wedlock and had no intention of getting married, he, as her father, would definitely get a scolding.

You might even get beaten up.

He's over fifty years old; it would be too embarrassing for him to get beaten up by his father again.
