Chapter 1051: A Clarification
The thing that Chen Lanying regretted most in her life was breaking off her engagement with Lu Xingzhi and marrying Lu Weihua. If she had not married Lu Weihua, then everything that Jiang Yao had would have belonged to her.
An outstanding military husband, a husband who loved his in-laws, a life that did not lack money—all of those would have belonged to her.
So what did she get? A man with a mistress and a b*stard child, a husband who continued to yell at her, a beast who abandoned his wife and child!
Her in-laws did not care about their family; they only cared about money. They did not want her to take their money and used it to support her maternal family.
She had been in so much pain. She had only given birth to her son a few months before that, and her son was sick. Her husband still wanted to divorce her; he did not want their son. It was as if the sky had fallen; she had wanted to kill herself and her son as a means to end everything.
Then, she learned that Lu Xingzhi had not been severely injured back when they were engaged; he only did that because he wanted to marry Jiang Yao. He wanted her to cancel their engagement, so he pretended to be wounded. Chan Lanying did not want to give up; she brought her child to the army without any hesitation. She even said those misleading words in front of all those soldiers.
It was not as if she did not hate Lu Xingzhi, but she also hated herself for being too blind to think Lu Weihua was a more promising husband material than Lu Xiangzhi. She also hated herself for being scared off by Lu Xingzhi to marry Lu Weihua.
If Lu Xingzhi had not pretended to be seriously injured to make everyone think that he was disabled, how could she have married Lu Weihua so quickly?
If Lu Xingzhi had not fallen in love with Jiang Yao, how could she have ended up like that?
If Jiang Yao had not seduced Lu Xingzhi, who had belonged to her, how could she have led such a miserable life?
Therefore, she hated herself, hated Lu Xingzhi, and hated Jiang Yao.
She was happy when she was without her son for those few days in Jin City. When she asked Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao to raise her son, she did not think that it was difficult to go through with the divorce. Her revenge had made her feel extremely relaxed.
It was a pity that happiness had come and gone so quickly.
“Everyone is here. Chen Lanying, you can begin now.” Commissar Wang looked at the expressionless Lu Xingzhi. He knew that the man had a plan in mind and was not worried that Chen Lanying would say something harmful.
“I did not know that my words would cause such a big misunderstanding. I am here today because I wanted to clarify some things with everyone.” Chen Lanying did not want to say it, but she did not have a choice. She did not want to lose her job or her family’s jobs because of that. “I brought the child to the army because I had no other way. That’s why I wanted to ask for Sergeant Lu’s help. The child has nothing to do with him. He’s my husband’s child. I didn’t know everyone would think otherwise. This has harmed both of our reputations. My son’s paternity test results were released days ago, so I have proof that he has nothing to do with Sergeant Lu.”
“See, it really is a misunderstanding. I’ve said that Sergeant Lu does not have any problem with his personality!” Commissar Wang immediately laughed and clapped his hands. “Right, then why did you and Lu Xingzhi break off the engagement?”
