My life is ending, and my aloof CEO wife is taking revenge on me.

Chapter 126 Marriage into a Wealthy Family

"You still say there's nothing between you two, and even now you're still defending her," Song Yafei accused resentfully.

She suddenly stepped forward and hugged my medicine tightly, and I tried my best to break free but failed.

And I could feel her body trembling slightly.

My heart skipped a beat. This was one of her habits; she would do this when she was scared.

Every time this happens, she snuggles into my arms and hugs me, trying to draw some sense of security from me.

Is she afraid of something right now?

In the past, I would have offered comforting words, but now I didn't know what to say and just let her hold me.

Song Yafei pressed her ear against my chest and rambled on. After she calmed down a bit and stopped trembling, she told me a very melodramatic story.

I knew from Song Yafei that her father didn't love her, but I never knew that her father had such a past.

The storyline is similar to many stories of wealthy families.

At first, Song's father fell in love with a very ordinary girl, but they were not a good match and the couple was forced to break up.

As Song Jiang's heir, Song's father had no choice but to marry Song's mother. However, what he didn't know was that the girl was pregnant with his child before his marriage.

They would have known nothing at first, but when the child was eight years old, the girl was no longer able to raise their child and had to find her and ask her to take care of their child.

The arrival of this child brought about a dramatic change in the lives of everyone involved.

At this point, Song Yafei paused, but I also understood a lot.

Even if she didn't say it explicitly, she chose this moment to bring it up, and I think the child she was referring to must be Hu Mei.

That mistress is probably Hu Mei's mother.

This is something I never expected. Hu Mei is a person with very sound values. Could her mother be a mistress?

The implication of Song Yafei's words was that the person who caused her and her daughter a lifetime of suffering was Hu Mei's mother.

When Mr. Song saw his beloved girls again, perhaps feeling guilty, he took extra care of them, neglecting his own wife and daughters.

But if that's all there is to it, I don't think Song Yafei would harbor such deep hatred, after all, she used to be very kind.

Perhaps there are others?

Song Yafei raised her head, cupped my face in her hands, her eyes sparkling, and tears wetting her eyelashes.

"You know what? I thought Dad just didn't love Mom, but I'm his child, he wouldn't be so cold to me. I thought it was just my imagination."

"It wasn't until later that I discovered it was all true. He had actually made a will long ago, leaving half of the Song family business to Hu Mei. At that time, he probably already knew that Hu Mei was his biological daughter."

Song Yafei's tears soaked my chest.

I haven't seen her so vulnerable in a long time. She has never received her father's approval since she was a child, and this is the thing she finds hardest to let go of.

I knew about it, but I didn't know it involved an extramarital affair.

Strictly speaking, this doesn't count as an extramarital affair.

This happened before the marriage, and Hu Mei's birth was perhaps unexpected.

However, such facts are not enough to soothe Song Yafei's pain and torment over the years.

I could sense that Song Yafei was in great pain, perhaps because she was remembering things from the past.

She snuggled into my arms, and even though I was planning to leave, I couldn't ignore Song Yafei like this.

I leaned against the wall, letting her lean against me, but I couldn't bring myself to hold her in my arms anymore.

Song Yafei suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice, "Zhang Tian, ​​please don't go near him, okay? You're all I have left, look at me, will you do for me?"

More than a decade of grudges and pain cannot be resolved with a single sentence from me, nor can I tell her to be considerate of others.

After all, we haven't experienced what she went through, so we can't fully understand her pain.

I simply told her calmly, "From what I know, Hu Mei is not the kind of person you describe."

"Moreover, the grudges of the previous generation should not be borne by the next generation. Both Hu Mei and you should move on from these pains."

Just as I expected, my candid words did not make Song Yafei feel at ease; on the contrary, she felt that I was favoring Hu Mei.

She gripped my hand tightly, her body heaving with anger.

"Hu Mei chose to come back to you at this time to take you away from me and to make me experience the same pain as her mother."

“She wants to take you away from me! Her mother took my father away, and now she wants to take you away from me too.”

"No! I will never let her succeed. From the moment the Song family returned to my hands, I told myself that I would never let her go in this lifetime."

I can understand her anger and worry; after all, it's like seeing a snake in a hunched back.

Given that her father, whom she once cared about most, was like that, it's understandable that she would be afraid of losing me again.

However, I really disliked the words she used.

Steal it?

What am I in Song Yafei's eyes?

It can be easily stolen by someone?

I pushed her away, looked her straight in the eyes, and told her clearly, word by word.

"I want you to know that Hu Mei and I are childhood friends, and nothing more."

"And another thing is, you need to understand, it wasn't someone else who took me away, it was you who pushed me away with your own hands, wasn't it?"

Do I really need to remind you of all the things you've done in the past?

This time, after I finished speaking, I left the room, even though Song Yafei was hysterically calling my name inside.

In the past, I might have waited for her to gradually emerge from this state and slowly dispel the gloom in her heart.

But I have limited time now, and I don't think I have the ability to change her past.

Moreover, we are all adults, and we should be responsible for our own actions and decisions.

However, what I heard from Song Yafei this time was indeed unexpected. I didn't expect Hu Mei to have such a past.

But she never mentioned her family when she was a child. What were her feelings at that time?

Shortly after returning home that evening, he received a call from Hu Mei.

She asked me, "Are you home yet?"

"I'm already home."

After I told her, she paused for a long time on the phone, as if she had something to say.

I didn't urge her. I had a rough idea that she probably knew something too, otherwise she wouldn't have had that expression when she received Song Yafei's business card.

Now it seems that everything has a logical basis.

In the end, Hu Mei didn't say anything. After confirming my safety, she told me to get some rest and then hung up the phone.
