In order to keep his position, Wei De was more than willing to endure this pain. At such a time, Wei De was clearer than anyone that his family had to do so for him to be in an advantageous position.
Although Mother Wei was reluctant to do so, her husband had already agreed to it. Besides, her son had been the one to suggest it. To be honest, Mother Wei had already gotten used to the life of a wealthy mistress. She did not want to give up her life in Ping Cheng. Mother Wei had not forgotten that the house she was living in had been purchased by Zhai Hua and had been purchased before her marriage to her son. As such, it was considered a premarital asset.
Mother Wei regretted her actions. Had she known that such a day would come, she would never have let her son put up an act and convince Zhai Hua to have the house deed in her name.
At the time of purchasing this house, Zhai Hua had been completely devoted to Wei De and thought wholeheartedly about him. She was afraid that the Wei family would be uncomfortably living in that house and thus suggested that the house be purchased under Wei De’s name. Initially, Wei De had been touched too. Given his meager salary as a soldier, it would already be good if he could let his parents stay in a nicer apartment back home. He would never have been able to afford a large house in a city like Ping Cheng.
Who would give up the chance of owning a house?
But to prove that he was only with Zhai Hua because of love and not because of any other ill intentions, Wei De disagreed with Zhai Hua’s idea and insisted that Zhai Hua put her own name down.
When Zhai Hua refused to do it, Wei De had even gotten upset over it.
In the end, Zhai Hua purchased the house under her own name. But afterward, Zhai Hua was even more determined to be with Wei De. Before getting pregnant with Jiajia, she even treated Wei Wei like her own son. After all, it was not just Father and Mother Wei who had seen Wei De’s bias toward Wei Wei. Even before marriage, Zhai Hua had realized it.
At that time, Zhai Hua had been foolish and gullible, thinking that Wei De treated Wei Wei well out of sympathy and responsibility because Wei Wei was fatherless. That meant that Wei De would treat their own child even better than he treated Wei Wei.
In this way, Zhai Hua had pampered Wei Wei before Jiajia was born.
When Zhai Hua gradually felt that the atmosphere in the Wei family was strange and that the Wei family was placing much more importance on Wei Wei than Jiajia and voiced it out, there were some things that had already been set in stone. The owner of the house could no longer be changed. That house deed was already under Zhai Hua’s name. When Zhai Hua decided to purchase another property, she was much more cautious.
Before marriage, she had offered to register the house under Wei De’s name. She had been willing to do so at that time. But after marriage, since she was still the only one paying for the property, she would have to be the one to decide whose name was on the property deed. The more the Wei family tried to coerce her into putting Wei De’s or Wei Wei’s name in the property deed, the more Zhai Hua refused.
As such, Mother Wei was always clear that the moment her son divorced Zhai Hua, the Wei family might very well become homeless in Ping Cheng the very same day. The two properties that were worth several million yuan were both Zhai Hua’s.
Although Mother Wei was always muddleheaded, there were times when her mind was clear too. When Mother Wei had no clue about where to find Jiajia the previous day, she had taken the opportunity and spent some money consulting a lawyer. She explained that her relative had encountered such a situation and asked what her relative should do to maximize their interests.
The lawyer told Mother Wei that the male party had to obtain custody of their daughter. Only then would the male be able to retain guardianship of the house under the daughter’s name as her guardian.
The problem was that the male had deliberately concealed his marriage status and had even lied that his son was his nephew. This was cheating someone into marriage. Besides, the one at fault was the male. With all these factors, if they were really to go to court, the male party would be at a severe disadvantage. Because of the male’s dishonesty and deception, it was very likely that custody would be awarded to the child’s mother.
The lawyer was an expert at reading people too. Just based on what he had heard, he could roughly guess what Mother Wei had not said either. After hearing what Mother Wei had described, the lawyer had even boldly asked if the child shared a closer relationship with her father or her mother. Mother Wei had not answered, but her expression had given everything away. The lawyer explained that there was no case to be fought if the daughter preferred to follow her mother. It was a losing case.
If the male party wanted to minimize his losses, it was best to negotiate with the woman and settle the matter amicably. Not getting a divorce was the best result for the male.
The lawyer had seen all kinds of people and he knew straightaway that this man was probably a loser with a powerful wife. It was clear from how afraid of his wife he was that this man depended on his wife and dared not offend her. He did not dare to offend her, yet he still got into an affair behind her back. How bold of him! He truly deserved whatever he was going through now!
Mother Wei knew nothing about what the lawyer truly thought, but after receiving such an answer from the lawyer, she understood that Jiajia had to follow Wei De. Otherwise, the moment Wei De divorced Zhai Hua, the whole Wei family would have to go back to farming in the countryside.
Mother Wei had no intentions of doing so. As such, when she heard about her son’s plan and how he would give his life for that, Mother Wei did not try to stop him.
After reaching a consensus, the trio raced to the Zhai family’s courtyard with panicked looks on their faces, demanding to meet the Zhai family. It was not Wei De’s first time visiting the Zhai family’s courtyard. When Zhai Sheng had brought the elderly couple to the capital, Zhai Hua had been the one to solve any problems in the courtyard when situations arose. Wei De had accompanied her there several times. As such, Wei De was not exactly unfamiliar to the people in the courtyard.
But when Wei De rushed in as usual, he was stopped by the guards. Wei De was confused. The guards had even touched his wound while trying to stop him. It was so painful that Wei De felt the hairs on his body stand straight up. “It’s me. It’s not like you don’t recognize me. I’m the Zhai family’s son-in-law. I have something urgent. Hurry and let go of me.”
He was in a hurry to win Zhai Hua back. At this time, Wei De was in no mood to throw his weight around as a company commander or throw a tantrum.
Since he had not thrown a tantrum, the soldier gave an explanation. “I’m sorry. You don’t have permission to enter. If you really need something, I’ll help you ask Chief Zhai’s family if they’re willing to meet you.”
Mother Wei was unhappy. He was just a watchdog. How dared he stop her son? “You must be crazy! The Zhai family’s daughter is my daughter-in-law and my son’s wife! The Zhai family is our in-law! We’re relatives. What does this have to do with an outsider like you?”
