After getting out of the car, Old Man Zhao enthusiastically greeted the Xu family.
Wang Lin looked at Zhao Yunhua with worry, wanting to speak but holding back. However, Zhao Yunhua also appeared preoccupied and didn't notice her gaze.
Xu Liuying hadn't traveled in the same car as Zhao Yunhua earlier, and now they had no opportunity to speak privately.
Seeing the state of the Xu family, he knew the matter couldn't be kept hidden. He was contemplating how to move past it and minimize the harm to Wang Lin.
After they sat down, before Zhao's father and mother could even exchange pleasantries, their daughter-in-law opened her phone and showed a video to Zhao's father and mother.
Upon hearing the words spoken by their eldest son, Zhao's father's expression darkened.
With the protagonist being his own daughter-in-law from a less prominent family, Zhao's father's anger intensified.
"Yunhua, get on your knees."
Xu's father waved his hand to stop him, "You can discipline your son after we leave. I have only one demand: divorce. The child in Yingying's belly belongs to our Xu family."
Zhao's father's demeanor immediately changed as he apologized, "My dear in-laws, I only just learned about their past relationship. That was all in the past, and they didn't commit any fundamental errors.
Liuying has been married to Yunhua for three years, and she is carrying Yunhua's child. Divorce seems inappropriate. As for this matter, I will certainly provide your Xu family with a satisfactory explanation."
Xu's mother spoke indignantly, "What do you mean by 'fundamental errors'? Isn't emotional infidelity also infidelity? My Xu family's daughter cannot tolerate such humiliation; divorce is a must."
Zhao's mother: "My dear sister-in-law, please calm down. You all know how Yunhua has treated Liuying all these years. For such matters, we should consider the feelings of the young couple."
Xu Liuying, holding her belly, appeared frail and unable to care for herself, weeping with a face full of tears.
"I know I'm not intelligent, but you can't just fool me like this. Zhao Yunhua never truly loved me for these three years, and this marriage is a mere formality. I don't want to continue this way; I must divorce."
Seeing his sister like this, Xu Zilin felt immense heartache. He had never seen his usually carefree sister cry so miserably.
Looking at his sister's belly and thinking of his unborn nephew, he couldn't contain his anger.
He rushed forward, grabbed Zhao Yunhua by the collar, and punched him in the face. Zhao Yunhua dared not resist and allowed himself to be beaten.
Zhao's mother was distressed but, realizing their fault, did not intervene, thinking it was best to let them vent their anger.
Wang Lin was terrified by this display and shed tears, seeking comfort from Zhao Yunshen. To her surprise, Zhao Yunshen coldly pulled his hand away and distanced himself from her.
Wang Lin's tears fell even harder, but she dared not make a sound, fearing everyone's attention would shift to her.
She could only look at Zhao Yunshen pitifully, hoping he would give her an opportunity to explain.
Seeing that Xu Zilin had had his fill of hitting, Xu's father spoke.
"Zilin, come back here. What kind of behavior is this?"
With that, he gave Zhao's father and mother an apologetic look, "This child has always been impulsive and couldn't bear to see his sister wronged. I hope you two don't hold it against a child."
Zhao's mother, filled with indignation, was about to speak when Zhao's father interrupted her, "It's good that he hit him; he deserved it. It's good for Xiao Lin to vent his anger."
Zhao Yunhua got up from the ground, disheveled, and looked at Zhao's father and mother with a determined gaze.
"I have wronged Liuying and the child in this matter. I agree to the divorce. I will give them both all my assets. I hope Uncle and Aunt will not spread this matter."
Zhao's mother: "You foolish child, what nonsense are you talking about? You didn't commit any major offense; everyone has ex-girlfriends.
If you sincerely apologize to Liuying and promise never to think of those unsavory people again, I believe Liuying will surely forgive you."
Upon hearing Zhao's mother's words, Wang Lin's face turned pale.
Zhao Yunhua: "Mom, Wang Lin is not an unsavory person. I was dating her normally before; I'm the one who can't forget her; it has nothing to do with her.
Yunshen, I hope you don't misunderstand. Wang Lin is a good wife and a good mother; she truly loves you very much.
That was all during my university days. I have never done anything to betray you."
Zhao Yunshen turned his head away, unsure how to face this farce. The fact that his wife and elder brother had once loved each other and done such things left him with very complex emotions.
Zhao's mother was furious with Zhao Yunshen's defense, "Why are you still defending her? She is simply degrading herself.
I don't believe that when she was with your brother, she didn't know you were Yunshen's brother. You brothers look so alike, and your names are similar too.
Anyone with a bit of sense would inquire about their boyfriend's family situation. Your brother is so naive that he was fooled by her, but how could you be so foolish too?"
Wang Lin cried, shaking her head in denial, "Mom, it's not like that. I didn't think that much at the time. I only found out about this after returning with A'Shen.
I love A'Shen deeply, and I am carrying his child. I want to spend my life with him. I was afraid you would misunderstand, so I didn't say anything, sob sob~"
Xu's mother: "Enough, we didn't come here to watch your drama. No matter what you say, Zhao Yunhua's lingering feelings for his brother's wife is a confirmed fact.
I feel disgusted just saying it, and I feel sorry for my Yingying. Your family needs to decide on the compensation Zhao Yunhua owes our Yingying.
Although the child in Yingying's belly will be with our Xu family, the child still carries the blood of your Zhao family.
The shares that should be given should not be reduced by a single bit. In the future, our family will give everything to the child. If you are not at ease, you can supervise."
Zhao's mother was greatly angered by Xu's mother's words, "You are asking for the moon! The child won't be with our Zhao family but you still want our family's money? You wish."
Xu's mother knew Zhao's mother was not the decision-maker and ignored her. She couldn't recall Zhao's father's name and spoke directly.
"Old Zhao, do you think the same as your wife?"
Zhao's father knew that divorce was now inevitable, and the child would not remain with them. If this matter were to become public, he would lose all face.
The demeanor of Xu's father and mother was not easily appeased. To quell their anger, the shares had to be given.
He glanced at the incompetent Zhao Yunhua. After three years, he couldn't even keep a woman. If Xu Liuying had sided with him, this matter wouldn't have escalated.
"Naturally, I don't think that way. Regardless of whose surname the child takes, it is still Yunhua's child. Our Zhao family will not default on any required child support."
Xu's father: "Good, then the divorce is settled. Your Zhao family can decide on the shares."
"Yunhua has 5% of the group's shares. This grandson and granddaughter should not be my concern as an old man. Let's allocate 2% from Yunhua."
Xu's father and mother remained silent, clearly dissatisfied with this outcome, and the atmosphere instantly froze.
Zhao Yunhua knew his father was doing this for his own good, and after a period of stalemate, they would bargain.
However, seeing Wang Lin's fearful appearance and the Xu family's unwillingness to yield, he feared the matter would fall apart and affect Wang Lin's reputation.
Wang Lin came from an ordinary family. If such a scandal were to occur, she would be unable to remain in their social circle, and Sui Sui might also be disliked.
With this thought, he spoke directly, "I will transfer all 5% of my shares to Xu Liuying as support for our unborn child.
All the properties, cars, and liquid funds under my name will be considered divorce compensation for Xu Liuying. Uncle and Aunt, this is my greatest sincerity. I hope you can guarantee not to spread this matter."
Xu Liuying was overjoyed, and Xu's father and mother, seeing his barely concealed delight, immediately agreed.
Regardless of how unwilling Zhao's father and mother were, the matter was settled. Zhao Yunhua hired a lawyer to prepare the contracts, and the two could go for a divorce tomorrow.
Her cousin had been accompanying Xu Liuying all along, and the sisters were overjoyed. The villa where she and Zhao Yunhua lived now belonged to her, and she was accustomed to living there and didn't want to move.
However, under the strong insistence of Xu's father and mother, her cousin would stay with her for one night. After completing the divorce procedures tomorrow, she would pack her belongings and return to the Xu family.
