Chapter 255: You Don’t Deserve to Be a Child’s Father

Chapter 255: Chapter 255: You Don’t Deserve to Be a Child’s Father

"Zhiwei, the child is still young," Zhou Lin suppressed the pain in his throat, his eyes reddening as he lowered himself greatly.

"He is young, but I am enough for him," Cheng Zhiwei said coldly, looking at him indifferently, her eyes devoid of any emotion, filled only with coldness and hatred.

"But I am the child’s father, I..."

"Whose child is in Seo Zhenzhen’s belly?" Cheng Zhiwei interrupted Zhou Lin, gazing at him directly, "You said you sent her abroad, fine, I ask you, why did she appear in the hospital again?"

Zhou Lin was suddenly speechless, his face turning pale, "You knew?"

This was his admission.

Cheng Zhiwei turned her head towards the window, did it hurt?

It hurt.

But by now, her feelings had already gone numb; she had long known what kind of man he was.

"It was an accident, He Lanzhi said she wanted to apologize to me, I..." Zhou Lin tried to explain, but his throat was dry and bitter, managing only to squeeze out such a dry sentence.

He had gone, but he didn’t know it was a trap.

Cheng Zhiwei said indifferently, "I won’t let my child recognize someone else as the mother."

"You trust me, she proposed going abroad, and I agreed, but I didn’t expect her to become pregnant," Zhou Lin became agitated, if he had known from the start, he wouldn’t have kept that child.

"Zhou Lin, what you have done to me, I cannot forgive you, you are selfish, prejudiced, and self-righteous; you will not be a good father."

Zhou Lin felt a bitterness in his chest, so this was how he appeared in her heart.

He slowly stood up straight, as if he suddenly calmed down, "You want a divorce certificate, fine, I will take the child away, that was the agreement we had in the beginning."

Cheng Zhiwei clenched her fist, "Is that so? And what about Seo Zhenzhen, and the child in her belly?"

"I will send them away," Zhou Lin promised.

Unfortunately, Cheng Zhiwei didn’t believe him anymore; she also disliked her husband hiding another woman’s child on the side.

"Let it be, Zhou Lin, if you insist on a do-or-die situation, then I am prepared to accompany you to the end," Cheng Zhiwei refused to look at him again.

Just then, Lin Yu arrived.

Lin Yu sent Zhou Lin away and then gently and softly asked Cheng Zhiwei how she was feeling,

Lin Yu gripped Cheng Zhiwei’s hand, "The divorce is settled now, that document isn’t important anymore."

A hint of a smile emerged on Cheng Zhiwei’s pale cheeks, "Good."

This was a decision she had long prepared for, using her child and the relationship with the Zhou Family in a trade, the child would recognize Lin Yu and Zhou Chenyuan, but they also had to ensure her divorce from Zhou Lin was finalized.

After all, the child was also of the Zhou Family bloodline.

Cheng Zhiwei had never thought of not letting them recognize the Zhou Family’s grandparents.

But the child must be raised by her side.

Lin Yu had long hoped Cheng Zhiwei would divorce Zhou Lin, so for this matter, she found the best lawyer and created a scene at the Civil Affairs Bureau, both gentle and forceful, ensuring Cheng Zhiwei and Zhou Lin’s divorce certificate number was entered into the system.

This marriage was solidly divorced.

Outside, Secretary Zhang hurried over, telling Zhou Lin, "President Zhou, the divorce certificate’s number has been entered into the system."

Merely having a divorce certificate isn’t called a divorce; the number must be recorded in the system and able to be searched to confirm a successful divorce.

"When did this happen?"

"An hour ago, Lawyer Seo took care of it."

Lawyer Seo represented Lin Yu, so this was Lin Yu supporting Cheng Zhiwei.

He had always known, his mother wanted Cheng Zhiwei to divorce him.

"President Zhou..."

"Zhou Lin, come with me," Lin Yu called Zhou Lin aside as she emerged from the room, "Let Zhiwei go."

Zhou Lin pursed his lips, his smile forming a cold curve.

He was unwilling.

Lin Yu looked at him calmly and evenly, "What’s the point in dragging this out? You’ve seen it yourself, even if she has forgotten the hurt you caused her, she still doesn’t like you."

"She just gave birth and is at her weakest. Do you really want to rub salt in her wounds? Why not step back and leave everything to time?" Lin Yu had advised Zhou Lin before, but he didn’t listen.

But this time, she knew Zhou Lin would listen.

Because he had exhausted every means, yet he couldn’t keep Cheng Zhiwei.

His actions only pushed Cheng Zhiwei further away.

"The child is the tie that binds you, and Zhiwei has promised me that she will let the child recognize the Zhou Family," Lin Yu said, her voice choking up. "Even if she doesn’t let the child recognize us, we can only blame ourselves."

"She gave birth to your child, surely you don’t want her to suffer during her postpartum recovery?"

Zhou Lin turned around, looked toward the end of the hallway at that hospital room, his emotions complex and helpless.

"Your father’s illness has gotten worse," Lin Yu said, tears unwillingly falling, "I don’t want him to die worrying about the Zhou Family not having an heir."

If things remained tense, Cheng Zhiwei was capable of anything, and no one could predict the consequences.

Zhou Lin took a long time before he could force out a word from his throat: "Okay."

In the end, he didn’t mention that Seo Zhenzhen had a child, and he left slowly, leaning on the wall for support.

He didn’t enter that hospital room again.

A month later, Cheng Zhiwei left the country with the child.

Zhou Lin had arranged everything for her; there were professionals to take care of her and the child’s daily needs. After three months, she would attend the best music school in the world to continue chasing her dream.

The condition for this was that Zhou Lin would not appear in front of her and the child for three years.

Three years was the bottom line Zhou Lin could accept.

After all, according to Cheng Zhiwei, she would prefer Zhou Lin never to appear again.

Abroad.

Once Cheng Zhiwei settled down, she contacted Xu Tian and sent the other child there.

Originally, she had planned to find an excuse to bring the child to her side later.

She feared Zhou Lin would keep one child, so she hid the existence of the other.

Now that she had "reconciled" with Zhou Lin, there was no need for secrets, so she simply brought the other child over as well.

Zhou Lin soon found out.

From then on, everything he sent was in double.

The two had no further contact.

Lin Yu visited the children a few times, but because Zhou Chenyuan was seriously ill and needed constant care, she left shortly each time without staying long.

During casual conversations, she would sometimes mention Zhou Lin.

Seo Zhenzhen’s child was born, a boy.

Lin Yu subtly asked Cheng Zhiwei if she was willing to let her bring one child back to the Zhou Family to be raised as an heir,

At that moment, Cheng Zhiwei was organizing the children’s clothes, in the crib beside her, the two children were sleeping soundly, fists tightly clenched.

She understood Lin Yu’s meaning—if she couldn’t bear to part with either child, they would choose Seo Zhenzhen’s child as the heir.

"Zhiwei, rest assured, no matter what you choose, I will still see you as my daughter, and both children are my treasures, Seo Zhenzhen will never enter the doors of the Zhou Family," Lin Yu said.

Lin Yu said this, not because she feared Cheng Zhiwei would worry about the children not inheriting the Zhou Family’s fortune, but because she knew Cheng Zhiwei didn’t care.

She was staking her position that even if another was chosen as the heir, she would still cherish these two adorable treasures.
