Chapter 132: Is there more to the story?
An Shuhai didn't know if he had stumbled upon the answer by accident, or if He Fengbin was indeed in a state where he could understand some of the simplest questions, but in any case, He Fengbin actually answered this question.
"Yes, of course it's me!" He Fengbin seemed quite proud. "Hahahaha, who else could have done this if not me?"
After he finished speaking, he squinted and looked at the object again, this time focusing on An Shuhai.
“You…” He Fengbin leaned closer, “Aren’t you that An Shuhai?”
After recognizing An Shuhai, He Fengbin seemed even happier. He held up one finger, first pointing at An Shuhai, and then at Shen Honghui.
“An Shuhai…Shen Honghui…”
"Hahahaha, so what if he's from a wealthy family? So what if he's a big boss? He still got played by me. How does it feel to raise someone else's son?"
If looks could really kill, He Fengbin would probably be torn to pieces by now.
Unfortunately, he was so drunk that he was completely unaware of the anger of the two people in front of him and continued talking to himself.
"Sigh, but don't blame me. Blame Yun Xiaoyue for switching her own son. How could she do something like that?"
"What do you think she's after? Aren't both of your families wealthy? What's the difference between switching partners like this?"
"But it's also thanks to her having this leverage over me that I'm able to experience the life of you rich people, hahaha."
"That's why she was willing to be with me, so I have to thank you all. Actually, I really like her, but she just doesn't believe it!"
He Fengbin muttered a few more random words, then simply lay back down and fell asleep on the ground, leaving Yun Xiaoyue, his accomplice whom he had inadvertently implicated, to face the current situation.
Yun Xiaoyue kept her head down and didn't dare to breathe.
She could no longer deny it. Even if He Fengbin said those things while drunk, no one would doubt their truthfulness.
Or perhaps it's precisely because he was drunk that his words carried more weight.
Otherwise, if he were sober enough to realize the consequences of his actions if they were exposed, he would never have so readily revealed everything.
Shen Honghui looked at Yun Xiaoyue, not asking her why she did it, but instead smiled self-deprecatingly and spoke confidently:
"So, you still haven't let go of An Shuhai, is that right?"
"Swap your son with him to raise? Even if you do it this way, you still want to have some connection with him, right?"
"Yun Xiaoyue, what do you take me for?"
With red eyes, Shen Honghui questioned his wife.
"We've been married for over twenty years, and I've loved you for over thirty! Even a stone would have warmed up by now, wouldn't it? Can your heart really be so heartless?"
He looked like a heartbroken lover whose heart had been broken by Yun Xiaoyue, his eyes filled with exhaustion and pain.
【You have mistresses too, don't act like you're so deeply in love.】
An Family Member: Oh yeah... I almost forgot about that.
Shen Honghui's one-man show continues.
Of course, he probably didn't feel like he was acting at all, but that every word came from the bottom of his heart.
"I thought that your willingness to have a child for me meant that you had let go of An Shuhai and were ready to settle down and live a good life with me. But it turns out that you just wanted to use our child to satisfy your selfish desires!"
How can you treat me like this?
Yun Xiaoyue had been keeping her head down, not daring to make eye contact with anyone, but after Shen Honghui finished speaking, she raised her head instead.
Then everyone realized that her pale face no longer showed any fear, but was clearly filled with mockery.
"Your way of showing love for me is to go find someone else, right?"
Shen Honghui's injured expression froze instantly. Just a moment ago he was talking about himself, but the next moment his affair was exposed, and even his expression, which hadn't had time to change, looked somewhat ridiculous.
"You, you know?"
The situation instantly reversed; the one who had been confidently questioning the other began to feel uneasy, while the one being questioned suddenly became aggressive.
"How could I not know?" Yun Xiaoyue sneered. "Isn't it ridiculous that the mistress sent the wife a text message congratulating me on finally getting pregnant!"
"Do you think I never wanted to have a good life with you? If I didn't want a good life with you, why would I have gone through IVF to get your child! And after finally getting pregnant, I suffered so much from injections to prevent miscarriage! And yet your mistress comes to me bragging about having two children in three years?"
"Who wronged whom between us?!"
Shen Honghui felt that every word Yun Xiaoyue said was like a knife stabbing into his heart. He no longer felt anger at Yun Xiaoyue for switching his child; instead, he was filled with heartache and guilt.
"Why didn't you tell me back then?" Shen Honghui's eyes were filled with anger again, but this time the anger was directed at the mistress. "If you had told me, I would have definitely made her get lost! I'll teach her a lesson when I get back today!"
"Would it do any good to tell you? Would telling you change the fact that you're having an affair?"
"No, Xiaoyue, I have no feelings for her," Shen Honghui quickly denied. "It's because of your poor health that we haven't been able to conceive, but my family business needs someone to inherit it. I did this because I care about your health. You are truly the only person I love!"
As Shen Honghui spoke, he tried to take Yun Xiaoyue's hand, but Yun Xiaoyue shook him off forcefully.
Do you think I'll still believe you?
The An family members were all dumbfounded.
The plot is developing in a way that's completely different from what they expected.
They imagined it would be a scenario where they and Shen Honghui questioned Yun Xiaoyue together, then Yun Xiaoyue confessed and revealed the truth, and finally the An family called the police to investigate Yun Xiaoyue and He Fengbin, the two culprits.
But now it's a ridiculous situation where Shen Honghui is saying "Let me explain" while Yun Xiaoyue is acting like "I won't listen, I won't listen."
"Honghui." An Shuhai couldn't stand it any longer and called out to stop them.
Whatever kind of melodramatic drama they want to create is none of the An family's business; the An family just wants to resolve things as quickly as possible.
“The truth is now clear: Yun Xiaoyue instructed He Fengbin to switch our two families’ children. I will definitely get to the bottom of this,” An Shuhai said in a deep voice. “Old Lin, call the police.”
"Wait, wait, don't call the police yet." Shen Honghui immediately jumped out to stop them.
"What do you mean?" An Shuhai asked, frowning.
Shen Honghui looked somewhat embarrassed.
He knew he was asking a difficult question, but glancing at Yun Xiaoyue, he couldn't bear to punish his wife, so he could only say:
"Shuhai, I know Xiaoyue made a mistake, but what's done is done. Calling the police now won't change anything."
"For the sake of our friendship since we grew up together, how about we just let this matter go?"
The An family was already furious, and upon hearing Shen Honghui's words, they wished they could burn the shameless, crazy couple to ashes with their anger.
An Shuhai smashed the cup and roared:
"You're just going to let it go like this? My son was switched with her, and this is how you treat him! You're telling me to just let it go like this?"
[Tsk, tsk, tsk. 】
An Ling never expected Shen Honghui to say something so outrageous.
Does he really think he's a Casanova?
[I refuse to believe that if Shen Honghui knew the whole truth, he would still protect Yun Xiaoyue like this.]
The An family was stunned: There's more to the story?
