Seriously injured in a car accident, his wife confessed her love for his "white moonlight"

"Then what do you suggest I do?"

Zhao Jing looked helpless.

This kind of thing can't be left for Zhao's mother to face alone.

In that family, besides herself, there was no one else who could protect her.

Even without being there in person, Zhao Jing could imagine the storm her mother was facing all alone.

Zhao Pengfei, furious at being cuckolded, Zhao Lei, who always looked down on Zhao's mother, and Zhao Yazhi, who disliked Zhao's mother from the beginning.

How could Zhao's mother possibly handle these three people together?

Thinking of this, Zhao Jing could no longer care about anything else and got up to go home alone.

"Wait, let us take you there."

Xu Tian said with concern.

Since family scandals shouldn't be aired in public, he and Chu Lan could wait at the door so that if anything happened, they could rush in immediately.

That's all we can do now," Zhao Jing nodded, and the three of them went to the Zhao family home together.

"Go inside, we'll take care of everything," Xu Tian encouraged Zhao Jing.

Zhao Jing mustered her courage and walked in amidst the worried gazes of the two people.

"What do you think about Zhao's mother's infidelity?" Chu Lan asked quietly.

Xu Tian shuddered; those words reminded him of everything that had happened between him and Zhao Jing the previous night…

Seeing his hesitation, Chu Lan asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Xu Tian snapped out of his daze. "Ah? It's nothing... I was just thinking about what you just said."

"So what's your opinion? Do you also think Zhao's mother did something wrong?"

Chu Lan was determined to find out Xu Tian's thoughts.

Xu Tian said meaningfully, "Zhao Pengfei is not clean outside either, and Zhao's mother has devoted herself to the Zhao family for so many years, but she has not only not received any respect, but has also been taken advantage of by them, who think that this is what Zhao's mother should do."

"Therefore, when Zhao's mother met her childhood sweetheart again, she naturally opened her heart."

"There's not much to say. If we have to argue about right and wrong, then the former is definitely wrong first."

Hearing that Xu Tian thought this way, Chu Lan was extremely excited, as she shared the same opinion as Xu Tian.

But Xu Tian is a man, and under normal circumstances, people would speak on behalf of men, but he did not. Instead, he rationally analyzed the matter.

Based on this alone, Chu Lan felt deep down that Xu Tian was her pride.

"However, what Zhao's mother did was a bit too risky. Zhao Pengfei's methods—knowing all this, yet still unwilling to divorce her—this shows..."

The two then spoke almost simultaneously.

"There's a vested interest involved!"

"There's a vested interest involved!"

The two smiled at each other, realizing that people who love each other will indeed develop a tacit understanding when they spend a lot of time together.

Chu Lan's smile vanished, replaced by a worried expression.

"I wonder what's going on inside..."

Xu Tian put his arm around her shoulder and said, "All we can do is protect them, mother and daughter. As for the rest, that's their family matter."

Inside the Zhao family residence.

Zhao's mother had already lost the battle of wits against the group of scholars, and could only endure their verbal attacks.

"I told you long ago that this woman is a vixen, now you see?"

"Spending our Zhao family's money to find other men outside, wouldn't we be laughed at to death if word got out!"

"How dare you, the head of the household, still have the nerve to show your face in Jiangcheng?!"

Zhao Yazhi was spitting as she spoke, almost using the most offensive words in the world to describe her mother.

Zhao Pengfei, smoking a cigarette, stared fiercely at his mother with a gloomy face.

He never imagined that after all these years of working like a slave for the family, Zhao's mother would one day cheat on him!

Zhao Lei, having thoroughly enjoyed the spectacle, interjected, "This kind of woman should be known to the whole world, to ruin her reputation!"

"I used to beg her to come back, but she did everything she could to make things difficult for me. Now it's time for her to experience what it's like to have nowhere to turn!"

Two lines of tears streamed down Zhao's mother's face; no one knew the bitterness in her heart.

The situation only changed slightly when Zhao Jing arrived.

"Oh, isn't this my smart and capable younger sister?"

Zhao Lei had a mocking expression on his face.

Zhao Jing didn't look at him, but went straight to her mother's side and wiped away her tears.

"You're such a pretentious bitch. What are you crying for? What right do you have to cry?"

Zhao Yazhi's shrill voice was like a sharp blade, "Look at your behavior! Do you really think you're some kind of chaste and virtuous woman? The filthy things you've done are enough to bring shame to our Zhao family ten or eight times over!"

As she spoke, she took a step forward, almost touching Zhao's mother's face, her fingers, painted with bright nail polish, nearly poking the tip of Zhao's mother's nose.

Zhao Lei sneered from the side, occasionally adding fuel to the fire, "Yeah, we should really expose all your dirty deeds to the world and see who will still believe you!"

"My dad treated you so well. He even gave you shares despite your grandma's objections when you married into the family, and this is how you repay him?"

"Do you know how many people will look down on my dad if he does this?!"

Provoked by the words, Zhao Pengfei brandished his teacup, spilling tea as if it were his own emotions, running wild and out of control.

"I'm giving you one last chance. Break up with that person immediately, then kneel before your ancestors for three days and three nights, and I'll consider letting bygones be bygones!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao's mother suddenly raised her head. "When I married into the family, you only talked about how many benefits you would give me. What about the resources I brought with me?"

"Is the reason your Zhao Group has grown so large really just because of your own efforts?"

She had kept these words to herself for so long, never uttering them even to her own daughter, all so that Zhao Pengfei would remember her kindness and treat her with the same sincerity he had shown her in the beginning.

But over the years, she never mentioned it, and Zhao Pengfei pretended to know nothing, attributing the rise of the Zhao Group and its current glory to him alone, while ignoring her silent contributions over the years.

When she married into the family, the Zhao Group was just a small startup. If it weren't for the resources she brought from her family supporting Zhao Pengfei, there wouldn't be the Zhao Group we know today.

"If it weren't for my dad, would it be for you, a woman?" Zhao Lei said with utter disdain.

Zhao's mother sneered, "Zhao Pengfei, is it really as your son says?"

Zhao Pengfei remained silent with a gloomy face, but the fleeting look of guilt in his eyes betrayed him.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yazhi suddenly pushed her mother, the force of which caused her mother to stagger several steps and almost fall.

"You shameless woman, how dare you bring up what happened back then? Don't forget, you were the one who begged and pleaded to marry into our Zhao family! Now that you've grown wings, you think you can fly away? Let me tell you, not a chance!"

"Who was it that, before we were even married, was heavily pregnant and begged me to let Pengfei marry you?"

"If he was this shameless back then, it's no surprise he'd do something like this now!"

Zhao Yazhi's face was contorted with anger; in her view, everything her mother had done for the family was only right.

"So I don't want to continue this anymore, let's get a divorce!" Zhao's mother said calmly.
