Originally, she didn't intend to make things so messy. However, with Yang Zhiguo's pressure, she had no choice but to find a way to marry into the Gu family. As the saying goes, feelings develop over time. She still held a trump card, and she wasn't afraid that Gu Xingdong wouldn't be moved by her in the end.
With this thought, Zhang Wan'er said with a resolute expression, "The child in my belly needs a father. I don't want him to be pointed at and called a fatherless child from the moment he's born. You're a man, and you must take responsibility for what's yours!"
"Alright!" Gu Xingdong readily agreed. This sudden move left Chen Lishu and Li Xiulan stunned.
"Are you crazy? You want to marry this bitch? You know what kind of person she is! Our Gu family has been farmers for generations, honest and upright people. The wife who marries into our family must also be honest and upright. The ancestors of the Gu family would absolutely not allow the family to take in a morally corrupt woman!
Didn't you say you had a way to solve this? So this was your plan all along? Have you been deceiving me for decades? This is the first time I'm truly seeing your real face! Fine, if you want to marry this bitch, I can't stop you. However, you don't need to call me Mom anymore. I can't give birth to a son as useless as you!
Lishu, Gu Xingdong's decision to marry this bitch is solely his. I don't acknowledge it! From now on, you'll stay in the courtyard, by my side. Mom will treat you like her own daughter. Just pretend your man is dead!" Li Xiulan, as if still not having vented her anger, clenched her fist and struck Gu Xingdong fiercely.
Chen Lishu looked at Gu Xingdong calmly and said, "Give me an explanation. As long as your explanation is convincing, I can forgive your actions."
Gu Xingdong licked his lips, then walked to Chen Lishu's side, his eyes gentle. He reached out and gently stroked her head. "Believe me, the person I love will always be you. Zhang Wan'er deserves to die. I won't allow anyone to harm you and the child."
After speaking, Gu Xingdong's gaze suddenly became obscure, and a faint killing intent emanated from him. Chen Lishu frowned tightly, then clasped Gu Xingdong's hand and said, "There are many ways to resolve this. Don't choose the most foolish one!"
"Mhm." Gu Xingdong smiled and nodded, withdrawing his hand. He subtly scanned the surroundings. Finding the familiar figure in the crowd, he knew his plan could begin. He then walked to Zhang Wan'er and said, "You want me to marry you, right? I agree!"
When Zhang Wan'er heard the outcome, she felt as if she were dreaming, it seemed unreal. After a while, she finally reacted, her eyes filling with tears. "Really? Do you know how long I've waited for these words? When do you plan to marry me?"
"Tonight!"
"Tonight? This... isn't this a bit too fast?" Zhang Wan'er felt that the development of events was slightly off. However, since she had obtained the result she wanted, what was there to complain about?
Just as she was about to happily agree, a heart-wrenching cry echoed in her ears: "No! You can't marry him, I don't agree!"
As soon as he spoke, everyone's attention was drawn to him. Li Zheming, panting heavily, ran to Zhang Wan'er. "Wan'er, you can't marry him!"
"Why? Brother Zheming, have you been stimulated by something? You clearly know that this is the result I've waited years for. Why are you stopping us now?!
Brother Zheming, if you have any complaints, you can tell me later. There's no need to disrupt my happiness now. Hurry up and go down, there are so many people watching."
Zhang Wan'er, afraid of any disruption to her plan, quickly cast a glance at Zhang Hehua beside her, signaling her to quickly take him away. However, before Zhang Hehua could react, Li Zheming suddenly grabbed Zhang Wan'er's hand and said, "You can't marry him. Your life might be threatened!"
Zhang Wan'er looked at Li Zheming as if he were a lunatic. She impatiently pushed his shoulder. "What nonsense are you talking about? I know better than you what kind of person Xingdong is. He's definitely not someone who kills innocents! Hurry up and go down! Dafeng Novel Network
Brother Zheming, I know how you feel about me, but I don't like you. If you disrupt my plan, have you considered that my final outcome won't be good either? What's the difference between that and being killed?"
"Wan'er!" Li Zheming tried to reveal Gu Xingdong's plan, but before he could finish speaking, he was stopped by people brought by Zhang Hehua.
He said nervously, "Wan'er, you are the one I love. I won't do anything to harm you. Listen to me, Xingdong is not as perfect as you imagine. He's doing this just to give Chen Lishu peace!
Wan'er, you can't marry him. You're carrying a child. I don't want the final result to be the death of both mother and child. You have a better choice. He doesn't like you, but someone else does. Why waste your time on someone who doesn't care about you?"
Zhang Wan'er, afraid that Li Zheming's words would arouse Gu Xingdong's suspicion, anxiously declared, "Brother Zheming, shut up. Anyone else can try to kill me, but not Xingdong. Tonight, we will be married, and I trust my husband. Don't you outsiders try to destroy our relationship!"
Her actions completely broke Li Zheming's heart. However, thinking about the consequences Zhang Wan'er would face marrying Gu Xingdong tonight, he gritted his teeth and decided to go all out. "You can't marry Gu Xingdong. The child in your belly is mine! And you are mine!"
The atmosphere instantly fell silent upon his declaration. Zhang Wan'er was also filled with extreme panic. "Brother Zheming, what are you saying? How can you talk such nonsense and tarnish my reputation as a woman?!
You and I have never been intimate, so how can this child be yours? Besides, if it were yours, why would Xingdong choose to marry me? Don't talk nonsense and ruin our relationship!"
Li Zheming lowered his eyes in pain, as if he had made a decision. He said helplessly, "The child in your belly is mine. The videotape from back then can serve as evidence. You were drugged, and I was the one who gave you the antidote!"
