Chapter 148
Zong Siqi's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "You two have been sleeping in separate beds for over a year, so there's no moral issue with Yan and me being together. It's just that some formalities haven't been completed yet."
Zong Chun stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning, looking at Madam Zong in disbelief, his body swaying slightly.
It seemed he was severely shocked by Madam Zong's sudden cold and heartless reaction.
[Oh my, Madam Zong has made her choice, deciding to side with Zong Siqi against Zong Chun!]
The Qin Family was also quite surprised, given Madam Zong's previous reactions, they thought her love-addled brain wouldn't recover so easily.
The paparazzi immediately began questioning Zong Chun about the divorce, and Zong Chun, still in a daze, finally realized the precariousness of his situation.
After his expression changed several times, Zong Chun managed to forcefully regain his usual cultured and refined demeanor, though it appeared somewhat stiff.
Suppressing his anger and putting aside his pride, he spoke, "My dear, the talk of divorce was just a momentary impulse. Do you really want to break up with me for this little beast? I can forgive you this one mistake. After all, we've been married for many years, and I can endure a bit more for your sake. I still want to continue our life together. Now you choose - do you believe me, or this little beast who's trying to manipulate you!"
Zong Chun still knew how to push Madam Zong's buttons. After he finished speaking, Madam Zong froze, as if recalling something. In her heart, it was still difficult to let go of so many years of affection, especially considering how much Zong Chun had endured for her when he loved her.
[It's over... how boring.]
Suddenly, Qin Xian whispered in Ji Fei's ear, "He seems to be implying something. What does he mean by 'endure a bit more' for her?"
Ji Fei was startled and immediately began investigating curiously.
The other members of the Qin Family who overheard Qin Xian's words couldn't help but become curious as well.
[My God! At this moment, I actually feel a bit sorry for Madam Zong. The most hateful people can sometimes be the most pitiful. Although their sins can't be forgiven, Zong Chun, you really deserve to die!]
The Qin Family members all widened their eyes in surprise.
What's going on?
For Ji Fei to react like this, it must be big news.
What could it be?
But before Ji Fei could reveal the mystery, Zong Siqi had already assumed a righteous expression and spoke up, "Uncle, you can't be so shameless. Even at this point, you still want to emotionally blackmail Yan and trick her into coming back to you?"
Zong Chun's face changed, looking at Zong Siqi in disbelief.
Before he could stop him, Zong Siqi had already taken Madam Zong's hand and said, "I'm sorry, Yan. I only found out about this recently. The one who can't have children isn't you, it's him! Yan, think about it. My uncle only lasts a minute or two each time, how could he possibly get you pregnant? You thought he was truly abstinent and didn't enjoy marital relations? It's because he can't perform! When he saw Yu Rouyin, he felt like he could do it again, so he was desperate to prove he was a real man!"
Thunder rolled in the sky~
The paparazzi were so shocked they began checking their recording devices, afraid they might have missed this explosive moment.
Other onlookers' faces showed a variety of expressions upon hearing this, and they all turned to look at Zong Chun.
That man who had played so many leading roles in dramas actually... only lasted a minute or two!
How had Madam Zong endured this for so many years? And she even suspected herself of having problems?
"How... is that possible?" Madam Zong stared blankly at Zong Siqi, her voice trembling, clearly shaken by this revelation.
Zong Siqi leaned close to Madam Zong's ear and whispered something, causing her face to flush red, then turn pale.
Finally, her eyes, gradually turning bloodshot, fixed on Zong Chun.
Everyone was curious about what was said.
Only the Qin Family knew.
[Zong Siqi told Madam Zong to compare the difference between uncle and nephew, so she'd realize she had never experienced true pleasure in her marital relationship. But because she fell in love with Zong Chun when she was young and inexperienced, she had been psychologically manipulated for half her life. She looked up to her husband so much that she never dared to discuss this with anyone else. So she had no idea that it wasn't supposed to be like that with other men.]
[The two of them had never been able to conceive, but they could never find the problem. Since there had been cases of infertility among women in Madam Zong's family, she always suspected it was her issue, and never thought to check Zong Chun's medical reports.]
[Whenever the topic of them going for treatment together came up, Zong Chun would always act nonchalant, then use sweet words to placate her, until she reached an age where it became difficult to conceive. All this time, she carried the guilt of not being able to give her husband a child.]
[Zong Chun was actually manipulating this point, which is why he was so bold in pursuing Yu Rouyin and pushing for divorce. He believed that even if they divorced, Madam Zong would psychologically never be able to leave him. He's truly cunning and vicious!]
After hearing this, even the Qin Family couldn't help but look at Zong Chun with contempt. He really was a scumbag.
[Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder he recovered so quickly and came looking for her even after being drugged. It turns out he's impotent. The logic checks out.]
The Qin Family also realized this and couldn't help but find it amusing.
By now, Zong Chun had turned pale, seemingly overwhelmed by the situation before him.
"You... you won't believe him, will you?" Zong Chun refused to give up until the bitter end.
At this moment, Madam Zong's face was like that of a demon, "Fine, let's go to the hospital for a check-up. If you've lied to me, Zong Chun, I swear, I'll make you pay the price!"
"You... have you gone mad? How can you not trust me like this? This is an insult to me. If you insist on doing this, let's get divorced. Even if my innocence is proven, I will never forgive you."
At this point, Zong Chun was still trying to intimidate Madam Zong, pretending to be unyielding in an attempt to scare her out of her idea.
"Get this straight, you're the one who's cheating now. I've never been physically unfaithful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before Zong Chun could claim the moral high ground, a voice floated out from the crowd.
"Never been unfaithful... isn't that because you knew you couldn't perform and were afraid other women would find out and expose you?"
No one turned to see who said it, but everyone felt it made perfect sense.
Qin Xian looked down helplessly at Ji Fei, thinking she really wasn't afraid of being discovered by the paparazzi.
Ji Fei also looked up at Qin Xian, her visible eyes blinking innocently.
[I couldn't help it, I accidentally spoke my mind. I just figured out why a scoundrel like Zong Chun had never really made a move on Yu Rouyin before. It made Yu Rouyin think Zong Chun was truly noble and virtuous, a senior who didn't have ulterior motives or look at her with colored glasses. But actually, Zong Chun didn't dare expose his condition. He wanted to get married first and then try, because he thought that once married, his wife would be his property and wouldn't be able to expose his situation.]
Upon hearing Ji Fei's mutterings, the Qin Family also realized this made sense. Indeed, thinking this way was logical and reasonable.
Due to Ji Fei's eye-opening comment, Madam Zong angrily exclaimed, "We must get checked!"
"Crazy... crazy woman, you're not thinking straight. I can't be bothered with you!" Zong Chun said as he turned to leave. But before walking away, he snarled at the paparazzi, "He's slandering me. I'll sue him for defamation!"
Ah, this... Protesting too much?
Even the paparazzi felt sympathy for this stubborn man.
[One impulsive act of catching a cheater in the act has led to a lifetime of shame. Oh Zong, oh Zong, I light a candle for you.]
At this moment, Zong Chun happened to pass by the Qin Family. Although they desperately wanted to laugh, the Qin Family members pinched themselves to hold back their amusement.
The hotel staff finally arrived belatedly to disperse the crowd. Ji Fei suspected they had been watching the drama unfold on the security cameras before coming so late.
The onlookers, not expecting such a twist in the cheating drama, returned to their rooms with satisfied smiles on their faces.
Ji Fei and the Qin Family also went back, waiting until the paparazzi were chased away before leaving together.
When they got downstairs, they found everyone in the lobby, guests and staff alike, huddled together whispering and looking at their phones. The news had probably broken on Weibo.
Ji Fei's group couldn't resist checking their phones as well.
Sure enough, in this short time, their hashtags were trending.
