After traveling to a country where women are king, I abandoned my husband and children

Zheng Ruonan's expression froze, "It seems so."

"But what does this have to do with me?" She shook her head and said, "I don't want to understand him at all."

"By the way." Ge Fu took out a portable makeup mirror from her bag and said while removing her makeup with makeup wipes, "Didn't you want to tell me what happened between you and Zhou Heng before? Now you can tell me."

Zheng Ruonan held up her forehead with one hand for a long time before saying, "My mother has cancer."

"Cancer?" Ge Fu was stunned. "What kind of cancer? Have you been to the hospital? Have you seen a specialist?"

"Pancreatic cancer." Zheng Ruonan's expression suddenly faded. "You may not know much about it, but pancreatic cancer is called the king of cancers in the medical field. Because this type of cancer has no symptoms in the early stages, it is often discovered only in the middle or late stages. For someone like Ms. Zheng who has never done good deeds and has poor personal ethics, she is naturally not immune."

Ge Fu frowned, "Middle or late stage?"

"It's in the late stage." Zheng Ruonan said, "The doctor said that surgery is no longer necessary and will only increase the patient's pain."

"So..." Ge Fu asked in confusion, "What does this have to do with your marriage to Zhou Heng? You're not going to say this was your mother's last wish, are you?"

Zheng Ruonan looked dead, "How come you always guess right?"

"No..." Ge Fu was a little surprised. "I still can't believe it. Are you going to compromise like this?"

Who doesn't know who? The relationship between Zheng Ruonan and her mother... It can't be said that there is no mother-daughter relationship between the two, but it is extremely limited. If Ms. Zheng's last wish was anything else, she might have accepted it with a pinch of her nose, but marriage...

Although Zheng Ruonan behaves like this, she is actually very clear about marriage.

Because her father suffered a lot in marriage, she would never easily marry a man she doesn't love.

"My mother said that if I marry Zhou Heng, she will give me 60% of her private property." Zheng Ruonan said.

Hengyang's inheritance law has very detailed regulations on the royal family. For example, the original wife's daughter like Zheng Ruonan can get 60% of the inheritance, the second wife's daughter can get 30% of the inheritance, the concubine's daughter can only get 10% of the inheritance, and the daughter of the illegitimate wife can get no inheritance.

——In Hengyang law, a legitimate daughter whose biological father was once a minister is treated as a concubine's daughter; a concubine's daughter whose biological father was once a concubine is also not recognized.

Furthermore, if there is only a legitimate daughter of the original wife, then the legitimate daughter of the original wife can inherit 100% of the inheritance. But if it is the other way around, unless the original wife is infertile, the legitimate daughter of the second wife cannot inherit all of the inheritance. But if there is only a concubine's daughter, then no matter what, she can only inherit 10% of the inheritance.

The laws of Hengyang provide great protection for the rights and interests of the original wife and the principal wife, but this is only limited to inheritance property; private property is not protected by inheritance law.

In other words, if Ms. Zheng is happy, she can divide all her private property among her other daughters.

"Are you crazy?" Ge Fu's eyes widened. "How much private wealth your mother has? It's hard to say whether it can be worth 100 million. Are you going to sell your marriage for this little money?"

"Xiangxiang, I'm not you. Only you can say that one hundred million is nothing." Zheng Ruonan said a little tiredly.

what……

Ge Fu scratched her face and said, "I'm sorry." Although she was not as wealthy in her previous life as she is in this life, she still had assets worth hundreds of millions. Perhaps because of this, she took it for granted.

"But..." She didn't know how to persuade the other party, so she used herself as an analogy: "Even if Xiao Yuan gave me the throne, I would not marry the man she wanted me to marry."

"Don't be ridiculous. You didn't want the throne in the first place." Seeing Ge Fu's surprise, Zheng Ruonan rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not a fool, okay?"

"Is it so obvious?" Ge Fu asked in a low voice.

She didn't know how to explain to the other party why he had regarded the throne as a sure thing before, but now he didn't want it anymore.

"It's obvious, just as obvious as when you first wanted the throne." In Zheng Ruonan's opinion, Xiangxiang has changed a lot over the years and has become more sophisticated than before, but one thing has remained the same.

——What she wanted and what she didn’t want were all revealed in her eyes.

When they were about to reach Zheng's house, Ge Fu asked softly, "Is it really for your mother's private property?"

Zheng Ruonan was silent for a long time, then said: "I actually think it doesn't matter who I marry."

"Look, I loved Yan Kun to death back then, but now I still hate him to the core. I've had many relationships since then, and although they weren't as stupid as the one with Yan Kun, I also had true feelings for him to some extent. But the more time went by, the more I felt that heartbreak was nothing, and I could get over it quickly."

"What do you want to say?" Ge Fu frowned.

"I just feel that... I am indeed my mother's daughter." Zheng Ruonan sighed and said, "Ms. Zheng claims to be deeply affectionate, but in fact, it is only because her white moonlight is dead. If that white moonlight were really alive, I'm afraid he would have turned into rice grains long ago. In essence, she is a person who loves the new and dislikes the old. Of course, I am probably the same."

"But I will never become like her!" She raised her hand and swore, "I will be loyal to my marriage. Even if I no longer love my husband, I will not seek comfort from the Minister."

"I just think that although Zhou Heng has so many flaws, he is a good person, so... let's just get married."

"Wait a minute." Ge Fu noticed something. "Why do you think Zhou Heng is a good person?"

“Hmm…hmm…” Zheng Ruonan looked left and right.

"Hmm?" Ge Fu looked at her without blinking.

"Okay, I'll tell you." Zheng Ruonan stammered, "It's just... Actually, Zhou Heng has helped me out more than once before."

"For example?" Ge Fu raised his eyebrows.

Zheng Ruonan lowered her eyes and said embarrassedly, "After Yan Kun dumped me, there were a lot of rumors in our school. Zhou Heng heard it once and ridiculed the leader. He later reported the matter to our Academic Affairs Office. I don't know how he communicated, but the people who spread the rumors the most were criticized by name on the radio. Since then, no one dared to gossip about me."

Similar things have happened many times, so in her mind, Zhou Heng has long been equated with the three words "good character".

Ge Fu touched his chin and said nothing.

If a man helps a woman out once, it might be a coincidence, but if he does it twice, three times, or four times...

She always felt that Zhou Heng's attitude towards Zheng Ruonan was not what she thought.

But... forget it. Everyone has their own fortune. I won't interrupt. After all, Zheng Ruonan won't listen to anyone else now.

"I'm here." Just as the car stopped, Zheng Ruonan got out and walked towards the sentry box, waving and saying, "Let's have dinner together next time. I'll treat you then."
