Chapter 481: Chapter 482 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 96_1

Liao Jiayu either had a sudden realization or was deeply affected by the tragic scene of her college friend’s sudden demise, leaving their parents alone and grieving.

"I’ve decided to have a child through IVF," Liao Jiayu announced one day, revealing significant news.

Having a child through IVF? Zhao Wenjin offered no objections to Liao Jiayu’s decision, only blessings, "I thought you might achieve fulfillment in other aspects of life."

"I did consider that, but I’ve read some reports that say children born this way might leave mothers feeling a lack of connection."

"Moreover, I’ve already arranged my work affairs; I’m going to have a baby."

"That way, there’ll be more liveliness at home, and I also need to start slowing down."

In those days, Liao Jiayu thought a lot. Ever since she got into university, she’d been working hard towards her goals.

Up to this point, it had been a relentless pursuit, but her efforts were rewarded. She’d become a top partner at Hongquan Law Firm.

She had traveled to many places, gained some standing in the legal community, and fulfilled her dream of returning to her alma mater, the University of Political Science and Law, to share her knowledge with juniors and juniors.

"I plan to accept the invitation from my alma mater to return as an honorary professor and teach the students," she said.

Although she couldn’t be at the front lines like before, Liao Jiayu quickly adjusted her career direction, ready to start training newcomers.

"That’s a good choice," Zhao Wenjin thought the move was sensible. "Producing a number of talented future lawyers is better than going it alone."

"While being a lawyer is great, making a splash in the courtroom, you’ll find that being a teacher is quite nice as well."

"Especially for someone of our renown, going back to teach and seeing all those eager faces looking up at you, it’s really a special feeling of accomplishment."

"Especially once you have a child, you can bring them to school with you."

"Let the child see what mommy does every day, letting them soak in the academic atmosphere from a young age."

Now that Liao Jiayu was planning to have a child, Zhao Wenjin naturally painted a rosy picture of parenthood.

Although Liao Jiayu had pondered for a long time and felt it was right to have a child, she still had some apprehensions.

She’d been through a lot in life, but having a child was a first for her, and she didn’t know if she would adapt.

She also wondered if she could raise a child who would be more successful than one brought up by her own parents.

However, when she considered her life, she thought it would be quite a challenge to surpass her own achievements.

But without trying, how would she know the outcome? Moreover, having a child in the house would definitely make it a livelier place.

Liao Kai, knowing that Liao Jiayu was preparing to have a child, was overjoyed, "Dad supports you having a baby."

"Once the child is born, I’ll set up a fund." Humph, let Liao Jun find out that, between the two brothers, Liao Jun was not as good as him.

Liao Jiayu was far superior to those mixed-sex twins, and her children would be even better than the twins’ children.

They just looked down on Liao Jun’s genetic line, producing children who were either wastrels or losers.

Liao Jiayu was a person of action, having made arrangements in advance. After notifying Zhao Wenjin and others, she flew across the ocean to start preparations for IVF.

After some struggle and the pregnancy period, Liao Jiayu gave birth to mixed-sex twins over a year later.

Because Liao Jiayu was unmarried, it was impossible to register the children’s household registration in her home country, so she gave birth abroad.

Just as Liao Jiayu had given birth to her child, Liao Jun began to post on Weibo and share on Moments.

Although Liao Kai was of a certain age, he was quite skilled at navigating the Internet and often surfed the web.

Liao Jun never indulged in these activities, and of course, he had not noticed what Liao Kai had posted. It was the twins of mixed sex who discovered it first.

They were eagerly hoping that Liao Jiayu would adopt their child so that they could inherit a considerable fortune.

Unexpectedly, Liao Jiayu, who was approaching forty, gave birth to twins of mixed sex.

This infuriated them; there had not been a whisper of news, and yet the children had been born.

Even though the child was newly born, it was still Liao Jiayu’s child. When one has their own children, would they adopt their cousins’?

Greatly disappointed, the two shared the news with Liao Jun, who was also stunned.

He never mentioned it in previous years because he felt that Liao Jiayu was young and focused on her career, not yet at a point of giving up.

Yet, here she was, nearing forty, her career soaring. Many people wanted her as a lead lawyer to take on cases.

And in the midst of a favorable situation, she turned around and had children, "I didn’t hear she got married."

Liao Jun knew that if Liao Jiayu got married, it would be highly unlikely that they would be invited. When the twins had their wedding, even though they informed them, neither people nor gifts showed up.

They probably wouldn’t be notified about the wedding now either, but it wasn’t to the point of being so petty as to completely withhold information.

"She didn’t get married." Liao Jun’s son had made inquiries, "The children were born abroad, conceived through IVF."

Upon reaching this point, Liao Jun really felt like crying, "To think she would have children without a man."

"I really admire that."

"How could their aunt and the rest of them agree? Liao Jun’s daughter is still puzzled to this moment.

"Isn’t she a public figure? How can she just have children like this without worrying about people gossiping about her twins in the future?"

Liao Jun’s daughter was genuinely unhappy. With the birth of the two children, it was foreseeable that the vast fortune of the Liao Kai family had nothing to do with them. Anyone would be distressed at the thought of saying goodbye to such a vast amount of money.

In the beginning, Liao Jun was very shocked and couldn’t understand, but now he had come to a realization.

"They simply don’t want to leave their assets to you two." Ah, no matter how much Liao Jun regretted it now, what could be done?

Why couldn’t he have just been patient and waited for the entire Liao Kai family to pass away? As close relatives, a little maneuvering could have likely brought great fortune.

And now, they could only watch helplessly as the duck that was nearly in hand flew away, leaving everyone in a sour mood.

Liao Jun’s wife had actually hoped her offspring would be adopted by Liao Jiayu, especially since all three members of Liao Kai’s family, including the elderly Zhao Wenjin, were striving to earn money.

She dared not contemplate the extent of their wealth. Their own family’s wealth, which was considerable before they spent large amounts under various pretexts for the children, had significantly decreased.

Knowing there was a possibility of inheriting Liao Kai’s assets, she had long been smugly thinking that no matter how much the couple could earn, it would eventually be for her descendants, essentially working for her progeny.

But who could have foreseen that it would all come to nothing? Without any consent or rejection, the birth of a child alone was their answer.
