[The chase to win her back + the perfect first love exposed + paternity test + the nemesis gets the girl + angst before the payoff]
Jiang Nanxu had been married to Pei Yanli for three years, enduring nothing but neglect.
Her mother-in-law complained that she couldn’t have children, her sister-in-law accused her of occupying Mrs. Pei’s place, and even Pei Yanli assumed she owed the Pei family a child.
Then Pei Yanli’s first love, Su Wantang, returned to the country with her five-year-old son.
The child hugged Pei Yanli and called him Dad.
The Pei family was overjoyed, eager to hold a ceremony welcoming the child into the family.
In front of everyone, her mother-in-law pressured her to step aside. “If you can’t have children, stop standing in the way of the Pei family’s bloodline.”
With tears in her eyes, his first love said, “Sister Nanxu, I’m not asking for a title. I just want my child to have a home.”
Pei Yanli frowned and tried to reason with her, too. “The child is innocent. Be sensible.”
Jiang Nanxu smiled.
On the day of the ceremony, the Pei family’s banquet hall was packed with guests, all waiting to laugh at the barren first wife.
Instead, she flung a paternity test report onto the table in front of everyone.
“Before you welcome him into the family, why don’t you first figure out who his father is?”
The results showed that the child was not related to Pei Yanli by blood at all.
The entire room fell silent.
His first love turned deathly pale.
His mother-in-law collapsed on the spot.
Pei Yanli gripped the report, his eyes bloodshot. “Nanxu, did you know all along?”
Jiang Nanxu hurled the divorce papers at his face.
“Congratulations. The son isn’t yours, and neither is your wife.”
Only later did Pei Yanli learn that Jiang Nanxu wasn’t infertile.
She had been unable to conceive for three years because the Pei family had deliberately harmed her.
Later still, he saw with his own eyes that the ex-wife he had once scorned for being unable to have children was pregnant with his sworn enemy’s child.
Pei Yanli completely lost his mind.
