Chapter 263: Chapter 263: He Wants to Entrust Zhou Ruoki to Cheng Zhiwei

"What can I say to him, when it was he who told me he wanted his dad and mom to be together? I told him I couldn’t say these things—it had to be him who asked you, and he did. If you don’t believe me, go and ask him yourself."

Seo Zhenzhen cried pitifully, attempting to invoke Zhou Lin’s sympathy with her pathetic appearance.

Unfortunately for her, Zhou Lin’s sympathy had been worn away to nothing long ago.

Her demeanor only made him feel more disgusted and suffocated, which, in turn, made him long for Cheng Zhiwei’s tenderness even more.

He really had been blind and heartless to believe Seo Zhenzhen and hurt Cheng Zhiwei like that.

While crying, Seo Zhenzhen stole glances at Zhou Lin’s expression, but his dark and indifferent face startled her, and she pouted in aggrievement.

"Ah Lin, Qiqi is also my son—I love him no less than anyone else. I know I went too far today, but all I wanted was to give him a little brother or sister, someone to keep him company."

"Besides... besides you already regard Qiqi as the heir of the family, so as his mother, am I not allowed to become your wife? Do you want people to gossip behind your back, saying Qiqi is an illegitimate child?"

Every word she uttered seemed to be for the sake of Zhou Ruoki, trying her hardest to portray herself as a perfect and great mother.

"Seo Zhenzhen, you think you’re fit to be his mother?" Zhou Lin laughed out of pure rage, "Today I found out that when you’re displeased, you pinch him until he’s covered in bruises like that."

He wished he could tear her apart whenever he pictured that scene, and after taking several deep breaths, he managed to suppress his anger.

He fiercely stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and announced coldly, "Leave this place, and don’t you ever see Qiqi again."

Seo Zhenzhen froze, looking at Zhou Lin in disbelief, "Ah Lin, you want to drive me away?"

She disregarded how soaked she was. As she stood up, she revealed more than intended.

Shaking, she clenched her teeth and demanded, "What gives you the right to say I pinched him? Where’s your proof?"

"Seo Zhenzhen, you still argue? If not you, who else left those marks on his body? Who else in this house has nails that long?"

"Maybe it was one of the servants. They know you don’t like him and bully him in secret, or perhaps it was your mother. He has always been raised by your mother, who dislikes me, and she might have pinched Qiqi and then falsely accuse me, just to drive me out and clear the way for Cheng Zhiwei, that heartless old hag..."

Her voice was shrill with a loss of control.

Zhou Lin, gazing at her twisted and ugly visage, truly realized for the first time the terrifying extent of her ability to distort the truth.

"Seo Zhenzhen," Zhou Lin lost his patience, utterly disappointed, and scolded sharply, "My mother has taken good care of Qiqi with all her heart, and dare you slander her?"

Seo Zhenzhen suddenly came to her senses, realizing she could blame the servants, but she shouldn’t frame Lin Yu.

Her expression changed, and she began to cry again, "I’m sorry, Ah Lin, I didn’t mean to accuse Auntie; I’m just worried about Qiqi’s injuries. It must be those servants who are two-faced and hurt Qiqi."

"Shut up—you will move out tomorrow, and without my permission, you are not to see Qiqi ever again." Zhou Lin was tired of talking.

Seo Zhenzhen looked at his indifferent face, knowing his mind was made up and that it was no use for her to cry or plead.

She understood—Cheng Zhiwei had returned, and Zhou Lin was intent on driving her out to make room for Cheng Zhiwei, even using the excuse that she had treated Zhou Ruoki poorly to keep her away from him.

He likely intended to leave Zhou Ruoki in Cheng Zhiwei’s care.

Seo Zhenzhen scoffed coldly, no longer crying, "Zhou Lin, now that Cheng Zhiwei has returned, you’re driving me away, and you even want to hand my son over to her to raise."

"I’m telling you, I will never let Cheng Zhiwei have Qiqi," Seo Zhenzhen screamed hysterically,

Before, she had feared being seen in such a state, but now she wished everyone in the villa could hear her.

Let them see just how heartless Zhou Lin truly was.

"When did I ever say such a thing? Leave her out of this," Zhou Lin said expressionlessly.

He did indeed harbor such thoughts, but that was contingent upon Cheng Zhiwei’s agreement.

And Cheng Zhiwei was highly unlikely to agree.

"Zhou Lin, you are an ingrate. Have you forgotten that if it hadn’t been for you sleeping with her at the hotel, I wouldn’t have been unable to stand for three years?"

"You’re standing just fine now," Zhou Lin wasn’t going to compromise because of this.

After all, he had compensated enough for those legs.

"Also, how did Qiqi come into existence, as if I could have her on my own?" Seo Zhenzhen began screaming madly, unmindful of how vulgar she sounded, "It’s only because you slept with me that Qiqi was born. Now you want to send me away, on what grounds?"

"On what grounds? Because you’re unfit to be a good mother," Zhou Lin replied harshly, his anger escalating, "Because you initially approached me by taking advantage of her kindness towards me, and because you and He Lanzhi plotted against me."

At the mention of this affair, Zhou Lin felt his reason being swallowed by immense rage.

That day, He Lanzhi said she was feeling down and wanted to drink and talk with him. He went, only to wake up the next morning to find Seo Zhenzhen lying next to him, both of them naked.

He sent Seo Zhenzhen overseas immediately, and she agreed without protest.

But what awaited him was Seo Zhenzhen, seven months pregnant, showing up before him seven months later. It was impossible to terminate a seven-month pregnancy.

And during those seven months, she remained undetected thanks to He Lanzhi’s help.

Zhou Lin had no choice but to accept the situation.

Of course, he only recognized the child.

As for Seo Zhenzhen, she was unforgivable forever.

Seo Zhenzhen laughed and cried like a madwoman, "Zhou Lin, stop making these excuses. You look down on my background and think I’m not good enough for you. When you got with me, it was only because you felt that all your friends had girlfriends, so you randomly pulled me in to make up the numbers."

Seo Zhenzhen vented all her frustrations, "You were the one who flirted with me first. How could you abandon me after starting all this?"

The frivolous affections of youth eventually turned into daggers aimed at each other.

The argument could go on endlessly.

Zhou Lin was not the kind of man to argue with women. He eyed Seo Zhenzhen coldly, his gaze like a blade, "If I had known you were such a despicable person, I would not have been with you."

This sentence hit Seo Zhenzhen like a bucket of ice water, making her realize this man’s cold-hearted indifference.

But how could she let go easily?

If she was suffering, she didn’t want anyone else to have it easy either.

She calmed down, her makeup long since ruined and looking terrible, "I can leave, but I’m taking Qiqi with me."

"Zhou Lin, you’re right, I don’t deserve to be a mother, but you, you’re no more fit to be his father."

"Don’t even think about it," Zhou Lin looked at her impassively, his scoff neither light nor heavy, "Or you might go to He Lanzhi, see if he’ll help you. However, he can’t call the shots in the He family anymore."

Seo Zhenzhen nearly ground her teeth to dust, "Zhou Lin, can you really be so heartless?"

"By tomorrow morning, I do not want to see you here again."
