Chapter 83: Truly Clear-Headed

From this, it was clear that this father and son were the same kind of people.

No matter how much they bragged about their deep love and how much they claimed to endure for others, it still could not hide how selfish they were, or how, deep down, they looked down on women and thought they were above everyone else, pretending to be noble.

They could not give up the rich resources and comfortable life that made others jealous, yet they still insisted that someone had to pass on their family name. They wanted this and that and still acted like they were in the right. It was shameless.

In this situation, if something happened to Cui Cheng Ye, this precious “only child,” and there was no way to have another son to carry on the Cui name, would the father and son both break down and go crazy?

[You spend half your life scheming, and in the end it all turns into nothing. Anyone would go crazy, right? I just don’t know, if things really reach that point, will Cui Jue Yan drop dead from anger, or hurry to find another woman while he is still young and have a new kid? And will Cui Cheng Ye be able to accept that calmly, instead of turning against his own dad and becoming enemies as father and son?]

Even though it was only a half-formed idea, the more Du An Rao thought about it, the more excited she got. She almost wished some boss-level justice from the sky would fall right now so she could enjoy this fresh, hot piece of gossip.

Du Lian Shuang was just as excited. After she learned Cui Jue Yan’s true face, she had imagined countless ways to get back at him.

But no matter how she thought about it, none of those ideas felt as satisfying as the result Du An Rao had just said. How could that not count as a surprise?

Then she remembered that this idea had come from her good sister. Her good sister did not know the truth at all, yet could hit the nail on the head just from a few words. Was this what people meant when they said the one in the situation is confused, but the bystander sees it clearly?

Thinking this, the way Du Lian Shuang looked at Yin Bai Lu became even more complicated.

Yin Bai Lu noticed and gave a cold snort: “Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think what I want to do is extreme and cruel?”

“No, no, no, I think your idea is amazing. I’m just a bit surprised. Weren’t you always the one saying that pregnancy and giving birth come with a whole bunch of problems? That being pregnant is tiring and annoying, and giving birth hurts for so many hours, and if the baby can’t come out, they have to cut open your belly and leave a huge ugly scar. I thought you really disliked having kids. And you and Yu Qian only had Jing Yi and never had another one.”

Hearing that, Yin Bai Lu could not help rolling her eyes: “I really don’t like having kids. If I could choose, who would like giving birth? When I gave birth to Jing Yi, I suffered all the pain, but all the good parts went to that jerk Liao Yu Qian. Even when the child grew up, the first person she called was him.”

Just bringing this up still made Yin Bai Lu angry. Clearly, she still could not get over the fact that her daughter called “Papa” first.

“But not being able to give birth and not wanting to give birth are two totally different things. Whether I want to have a baby or not is my own choice. Taking away my right to choose is already an insult and a kind of oppression. And giving medicine to make a woman who was healthy and able to have children become sterile will definitely damage her health, not just in that one way.”

“You already want to kill me. Am I supposed to sit there and reason with you, talk about what is fair, and be so kind that I forgive everything? If I don’t kill you and grind your bones to dust, leaving you a whole body is already giving you face!”

[Clap clap clap clap.]

Before Yin Bai Lu even finished talking, Du An Rao was already clapping for her in her heart like a seal.

[Aunt, you are so clear-headed. With scum like this, you should be as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to your own family!]

[If you think about it carefully, when Cui Cheng Ye’s son became an adult, Liao Jing Yi was only a little over forty. She had never had any accidents. She was just weak, and then she died like that. It is hard to say it had nothing to do with all the medicine Cui Cheng Ye fed her before.]

Du Lian Shuang shivered hard, and her face turned dark.

Du An Rao was young and did not know much about these medicines. She could only guess. But Du Lian Shuang knew very well.

Birth control pills work by stopping the ovaries from releasing eggs and changing the inside of the uterus so the body feels like it is not suitable for getting pregnant. That is how they prevent pregnancy.

If you take this kind of medicine often, your body often gets this fake signal.

Over time, the body loses its sense of what is normal, and many systems inside will start to go out of balance.

No one had said exactly what kind of sterilization medicine Cui Cheng Ye had given Liao Jing Yi, but whatever kind it was, its effect would only be stronger than birth control pills. After taking it for years and years, how could the body not have problems?

Some things exist for a reason. That is even more true when it comes to the human body.

The medicine Cui Cheng Ye fed Liao Jing Yi not only destroyed her chance of being a mother, it also seriously harmed her health, making her leave this world early and die with hatred in her heart.

The funny thing was that the lackey who killed her was still living well in this world. After she died, he even stepped on her ashes and ate the flesh and blood she left behind, living better than anyone else.

Du Lian Shuang was so angry that her head buzzed and her eyes went dark.

But as the birth mother of the party who had been harmed, Yin Bai Lu still knew nothing about this. After she finished her long speech, she looked at Du Lian Shuang with some doubt.

“You’re acting really strange today. You keep saying some weird things. Did your man do something to let you down?”

As soon as she said that, the other three people in the room all froze.

Du An Rao’s eyes flew wide open as she suddenly understood.

[Right. I had just thought of Liao Jing Yi, and my aunt started talking about sterilization and drugging people. Isn’t that too much of a coincidence?]

Du Lian Shuang: “!!!”

Seeing Mother Du’s sharp gaze fly over, cold sweat started streaming down Du Lian Shuang’s back.

“There is nothing strange. I’ve just been too bored staying in the hospital these past couple of days, so I went online to read the news. This morning I happened to see a story about a rich woman who was tricked by her husband. They had been married for many years but never had any children. When they went to the hospital to check, they found out it was the woman’s problem. The two of them went everywhere to see doctors and take medicine, but in the end they still could not have a child, so they had no choice but to go to an orphanage and adopt one.”

Raising her brow, Yin Bai Lu asked with interest: “And then?”

“Then the child slowly grew up, and the rich woman felt he looked more and more like her husband. At first she thought it was because they lived together, so they ended up acting alike. But later more and more people said they looked alike, and the rich woman started to doubt it herself. So she secretly did a paternity test for the child and her husband. Guess what happened?”

“The child was really her husband’s biological son?”

Du Lian Shuang slapped her hands together: “Exactly! It turned out her husband already had another woman outside and even had a child with her. To let this child come into the rich woman’s house and enjoy a rich life with him, he used birth control and also gave the rich woman medicine so she could not have children. Then he let her go to the orphanage to adopt his own son and raise the child he had with his mistress for him.”

“That poor rich woman, when the doctor told her she had problems and could not have a child, she even felt guilty toward her husband. He only comforted her with a few words, and she was moved to tears. In the end, she found out she could not have children only because of that dog of a man.”
