Marrying for someone else and being a widow? Stepmothers open classes to raise children

Chapter 81 Betrayal

Xie Yunchen felt as if his heart was cut by a knife. He didn't expect Wu Jingying to betray their relationship for her mother. He stared at Wu Jingying with wide eyes, and the disappointment in his heart became stronger.

"Wu Jingying, do you think your plea can make up for your mistakes? Do you think your tears can make me forget your betrayal?" Xie Yunchen's voice became louder and louder, and he became emotional.

Wu Jingying shook her head painfully, tears blurring her eyes: "I know, I know I was wrong. But I really don't know what to do. I'm afraid of losing you and the relationship between us."

Xie Yunchen sneered. He looked at Wu Jingying with a look of determination in his eyes: "Wu Jingying, do you think your fear can make me forgive you? Do you think your pain can make me forget your deception? I tell you, it's impossible!"

Wu Jingying's body trembled even more violently. She grabbed Xie Yunchen's sleeve tightly and begged, "Yunchen, please give me a chance to make up for my mistakes. I am willing to do anything as long as you can forgive me."

Xie Yunchen gently brushed away Wu Jingying's hand, his eyes full of determination: "Wu Jingying, do you think your compensation can make me trust you again? I tell you, it's impossible! From now on, there is no connection between us."

Wu Jingying felt as if her heart was cut by a knife. Xie Yunchen's decision could not be changed. She lowered her head helplessly, and her tears fell to the ground, making a "tick-tick" sound.

However, Xie Yunchen did not leave. He stood in front of Wu Jingying, his eyes revealing a hint of unwillingness: "Wu Jingying, is there anything else you haven't told me?"

"Wu Jingying, why did you lie to me?" Xie Yunchen's voice was low and powerful. He stared at Wu Jingying firmly, waiting for her explanation.

Wu Jingying lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes. She tried to explain with trembling hands, but in the end she just said slowly: "I'm sorry, Yunchen, I really don't know what to do."

Xie Yunchen's heart felt like it was pierced by a needle, and the pain made him almost unable to breathe. He clenched his fists tightly and tried to make his voice sound calm: "Tell me, why did you hide the matter about Li's plea for mercy from me?"

Wu Jingying's body stiffened instantly. She raised her head, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. She bit her lip, and tears fell, but she never spoke.

"Answer me, Wu Jingying!" Xie Yunchen raised his voice a few degrees. He couldn't stand this deception.

Wu Jingying finally broke down, she burst into tears, her eyes blurred with tears. She sobbed and said, "I am sorry for you, Yunchen, I shouldn't have hidden it from you, but I don't want to put you in danger."

Xie Yunchen's eyes widened. He didn't expect Wu Jingying to hide the truth just to protect him. But the anger in his heart did not subside, but became more intense. He asked angrily, "Do you know that your concealment has put me in greater danger?"

Wu Jingying burst into tears. She grabbed Xie Yunchen's sleeve tightly and tried to explain: "I know, I know, but I really don't know what to do. I don't want you to get hurt because of her."

Xie Yunchen pushed Wu Jingying's hand away. He couldn't accept such an explanation. The disappointment in his heart surged like a tide, making him unable to bear it. He turned around and prepared to leave, but Wu Jingying hugged his waist tightly and burst into tears.

"Yun Chen, please, don't leave me. I know I was wrong, but I really love you and I don't want to lose you." Wu Jingying's voice was full of despair. She hugged Xie Yunchen tightly, fearing that he would disappear.

Xie Yunchen's heart was torn apart. He struggled to break free from Wu Jingying's restraints, but he couldn't take a step. He looked at Wu Jingying's tearful eyes, and the conflict in his heart made him suffer.

"Wu Jingying, the moment you chose to hide it, you had already betrayed me." Xie Yunchen's voice was full of sadness, and the indifference in his eyes startled Wu Jingying.

Wu Jingying let go of her hand. Xie Yunchen could no longer accept her explanation. She sat on the ground helplessly, tears streaming down her face, her heart filled with regret.

Xie Yunchen turned around, his back looking lonely and determined. He took a step and left Wu Jingying's room.

Wu Jingying looked at his back and felt a surge of despair in her heart. She tried to stand up and chase him, but her feet seemed to be nailed down and she could not move.

In the side hall of the Ningguo Mansion, the warm yellow light sprinkled on the exquisite dishes, but it could not dispel the tears on Wu Jingying's face. She lowered her head, and her tears fell on the table, making a subtle sound.

Gu Zhiyi looked at her with a frown on her face, and couldn't help asking, "Jingying, why are you crying?"

Wu Jingying raised her head and looked at her wife with tearful eyes, her lips trembling: "Husband...husband already knows that we teamed up to deceive him."

Gu Zhiyi was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Wu Jingying to say such a thing at this time. She frowned and took a sip of soup, trying to calm herself down.

"So what?" Gu Zhiyi asked in a calm tone.

Wu Jingying lowered her head and cried, "I... I'm afraid my husband will dislike me."

Gu Zhiyi was speechless, she looked at Wu Jingying, feeling helpless. Wu Jingying's character was always too sensitive and too self-abased.

"Jingying, why do you always look down on yourself?" Gu Zhiyi sighed, her tone gentle, "What I said at the beginning was just a possibility, not an absolute. Why do you take it as reality?"

Wu Jingying raised her head, with doubt in her eyes: "Did I really do something wrong?"

Gu Zhiyi looked at her and said firmly: "You did nothing wrong. We are all doing this for your own good, but you just don't understand."

Wu Jingying's crying began to subside, leaving only sobs. She looked at the lady with gratitude in her eyes.

"Mother, I...I don't know what to do." Wu Jingying said in a low voice, her voice filled with helplessness.

She put down the bowl, took a deep breath, and asked, “Do you really refuse to communicate with Xie Yunchen?”

Wu Jingying lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly: "I admit that I am afraid of being disliked by him. I... I am afraid of losing him."

Gu Zhiyi looked at her helplessly and shook her head, "Jingying, what you said at the beginning was just a possibility, not an absolute. How can you give up communication just because of this possibility?"

Wu Jingying's tears welled up again, and she sobbed, "I know, but I can't control my emotions. I feel that everything is my fault. My husband doesn't want to pay attention to me. I feel like a failure."

Gu Zhiyi sighed, patted Wu Jingying's shoulder gently, and said, "Jingying, when we encounter problems, we should solve them instead of just crying."

Just then, Xie Huixuan mentioned that pregnant women's emotions would be sensitive and out of control, and Nanny Yang nodded in agreement, confirming this point of view.

"Wu Jingying, your mood has been fluctuating a lot recently. Please take good care of yourself." Xie Huixuan said with concern.
