Chapter 1654: Second Relationship

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“She was intending on letting Sun Guohong support her entire family, including her, her husband, and their children.”

But what that woman had not expected was that Mother Sun was even more scheming than she was! Mother Sun already had her eyes on the secretary’s daughter as her younger daughter-in-law.

Unfortunately, when Sun Guoming and the secretary’s daughter got engaged, she was already Sun Guoming’s woman. Since that was a fact that could not be altered, that woman chose to stay with Sun Guoming. That way, Mother Sun would take better care of her too. She even had a joke whenever she saw Mother Sun. After all, Sun Guoming was Mother Sun’s favorite son, and he even constantly reminded Mother Sun that Yanyan was a good young lady.

It was not until Yanyan got pregnant with Sun Guoming’s child did Mother Sun find out about the relationship between her elder daughter-in-law and her younger son.

“Even after the marriage between Sun Guoming and the secretary’s daughter was called off, Mother Sun was unwilling to let the matter slide. She felt that she had already found the first, so she would definitely be able to find a second one. Anyway, she had already organized a wedding for Yanyan and Sun Guohong, so Yanyan was her elder daughter-in-law. Naturally, she would be able to find an even better younger daughter-in-law for Sun Guoming. Unfortunately, the news had already spread like wildfire, and every single young lady whom Mother Sun had her eyes on already knew that the child in Yanyan’s stomach was not Sun Guohong’s but Sun Guoming’s.”

“...” Qiao Nan understood that Mother Sun still wanted to find Sun Guoming a bride who had a better family background and whose family could give Sun Guoming a helping hand, but this was now impossible. Ordinary young ladies were not even willing to go for a blind date with Sun Guoming, let alone those young ladies with good family backgrounds.

He had once enjoyed a glorious past as the secretary’s son-in-law, but now, no decent young lady was even willing to meet with him. In short, there was no one else Sun Guoming could marry but Yanyan. The only young lady who was willing to put aside everything to meet Sun Guoming was Yanyan alone. “So that’s to say that Yanyan eventually gave birth to a son and Mother Sun really got a grandson?”

“Yes.”

“So Sun Guoming married Yanyan?” That was quite a good ending. A bast*rd with a wh*re. It was not that Qiao Nan wanted to put Yanyan down, but Yanyan had really done some downright despicable things. Without Sun Guohong’s assistance, she would have married an abusive old man long ago. Sun Guohong had simply done a good deed, but Yanyan firmly clung on to him. And that was how Sun Guohong decided to take on the responsibility and marry her. But Yanyan did not cherish such a good man like Sun Guohong, and she even got together with Sun Guoming...

Toward such a woman, Qiao Nan could not, in good conscience, give her a ‘good rating’.

“No.” Zhai Sheng sneered. “Sun Guoming’s son should be around ten years old, but this is Sun Guoming’s first marriage.”

“??” Two question marks appeared in Qiao Nan’s eyes. How about Yanyan? If the child was around, then what about his mother?”

“She ran away right after giving birth.” Because Sun Guohong had stopped sending money back to his family for three to four months, the Sun family could no longer afford their own expenses. Mother Sun favored Sun Guoming, so it was all right for Sun Guoming to have a job with a low salary as long as it was comfortable and easy for him. But with Sun Guohong’s allowance in the past, Sun Guoming’s monthly expenses exceeded twice of his own salary!

Without Sun Guohong’s allowance, the Sun family’s lifestyle underwent a drastic change. With no good life in sight, there was no way that woman would have suffered and stayed on in the Sun family or even get married to Sun Guoming. What she valued was Sun Guohong’s money after all.

Even if she were to become Sun Guoming’s wife, she would not get to touch a single cent of Sun Guohong’s money. And so, the Sun family was no longer attractive to that woman. After toiling for eight months in the Sun family, she immediately disappeared with no trace after giving birth and serving her confinement period. Sun Guoming did not have a wife, but he did not lack a son anymore.

After listening to Sun Guohong’s story, Qiao Nan could not help but yawn. “Alright, I’ll take care of Sun Guohong’s matter. I can tell that Senior Xu actually likes Sun Guohong, and Ling Ling has already accepted Sun Guohong as well. The only troublesome part is Senior Xu’s parents.” Both of them had once been hurt in their relationships. Because of this, they would probably cherish each other and their family even more after getting together.

“Go to sleep.” Zhai Sheng covered the blanket over Qiao Nan. He knew that as long as Qiao Nan agreed to this matter, Sun Guohong would definitely be able to get married by the end of this year. Xu Shengnan got along well with Qiao Nan, and Father and Mother Xu had always treated Qiao Nan as Xu Shengnan and the Xu family’s benefactor. If Qiao Nan were to interfere in the matter, Father and Mother Xu would never reject Sun Guohong as a son-in-law.

Having finally settled the matter of Sun Guohong’s marriage, Zhai Sheng was quite happy. He had so many soldiers under him, but Sun Guohong was probably the most pitiful. At that time, if that incident between Sun Guoming and Yanyan had not happened, Sun Guohong would probably have stayed on loyally in the military and devoted his life to being a soldier, even if his mother was a little overbearing.

He was accountable to the country and its people, but Sun Guohong himself was betrayed by his closest kin. Thinking about how Sun Guohong was finally getting a new lease of life at the age of forty, Zhai Sheng was immensely grateful. Thankfully, he had met Nan Nan early and had formed a happy and complete family with Nan Nan.

Staying alone until the age of forty and enduring another decade before getting married seemed like such a lonely life to lead.

Zhai Sheng felt that he was getting old and felt sorry, and even fearful, about whatever Sun Guohong had experienced throughout the years. Thankfully, he was much luckier than Sun Guohong. Early on in his life, he had met the right one and had even written the best ending possible.

Father and Mother Xu did not understand Sun Guohong, but neither did they want to. But once Qiao Nan appeared, the standstill between Xu Shengnan and Sun Guohong was finally broken and changed for the better. But that was all Qiao Nan was going to do for Sun Guohong. She just hoped that Father and Mother Xu would give Sun Guohong a chance to introduce himself and that they would be more willing to try to get to know Sun Guohong better.

If Father and Mother Xu still felt that Sun Guohong was unsuitable as Xu Shengnan’s husband and Ling Ling’s stepfather after all these, Qiao Nan expressed that she would not interfere in whatever followed. Neither would she try to persuade Father and Mother Xu.

But Sun Guohong was a good man after all. What he lacked was an opportunity to show himself off in front of Father and Mother Xu. If Sun Guohong was not desperate to have a family of his own with Xu Shengnan, he could probably get it done in two or three years with his own capability.

But the problem was that both Sun Guohong and Xu Shengnan were in their forties. They did not have two to three years to spare. Otherwise, they would not have set their wedding date to be three months later after coming to a mutual understanding. Qiao Nan’s presence gave Sun Guohong this opportunity to rapidly move Father and Mother Xu.

As one could imagine, on the day he got married to Xu Shengnan, he sincerely gave a red packet of a significant sum to Qiao Nan.
