Chapter 2663: How to Deal with the Mistress and the Boy?
Because his face was very clear in the photos, Rong Jingtang couldn’t deny it so he admitted it.
However, even though he admitted it, he didn’t think he was wrong. Instead, he criticized his wife. “It’s because of you. You didn’t give birth to a boy. Both of my brothers have a son. I also want a son. If you’re not willing to become pregnant again, I can only turn to another woman for a son.”
“You…” Rong Jingtang’s wife was so furious she could barely speak. She knew that Rong Jingtang was dissatisfied with her because she didn’t give birth to a son, but it wasn’t her problem. It was his issue.
Besides, delivery was extremely painful so it was already very brave of her to give birth to two kids. She wasn’t a pig, so she was reluctant to get pregnant again.
Even though she didn’t want to be pregnant again, that shouldn’t be a reason for him to have a son with another woman outside.
“Shut up!” Master Rong snapped at Rong Jingtang. “You made a mistake. How could you take it for granted? How could you be so shameless? You humiliate the Rong family!”
Although Master Rong wasn’t a righteous man and illegitimate kids were very common in high society, he still disapproved of Rong Jingtang’s behavior.
In addition, Master Rong had his pride. Rong Jingtang had damaged the Rong family’s reputation so it was hard for him not to be mad.
Precisely because of this, Rong Jingtang schemed to trap Rong Zechen into sleeping with a cheap woman so that Master Rong would be disappointed in him.
Actually, he wanted to trap Rong Jue because Rong Jue was Master Rong’s favorite, but Rong Jue was too hard. He had tried many times before, but failed every time.
This time, he succeeded in scheming against Rong Zechen, but unfortunately he was also dragged into trouble. If he had taken the time and went to get the evidence yesterday, he would have been fine today.
Because Master Rong was mad, Rong Jingtang didn’t dare to say anything.
“If so, we should get a divorce. I can’t tolerate betrayal. You even have an illegitimate son. I should let you be with your new family,” said Rong Jingtang’s wife. She said that out of anger, but she really wanted a divorce because she couldn’t accept betrayal and being humiliated like that.
“Alright, I know it’s Jingtang’s fault. He made a terrible mistake. It’s very understandable that you’re mad, but a divorce is too serious. If you divorce, what should the kids do? Aren’t you afraid that Jingtang will marry another woman and the stepmother will treat them badly? Even if you have a divorce with Jingtang, we won’t let you take the kids. You better think twice,” Master Rong said to Rong Jingtang’s wife.
Although Master Rong was very mad at Rong Jingtang humiliating the Rong family, Rong Jingtang was family after all, so Master Rong had to defend him.
Therefore, Master Rong didn’t want Rong Jingtang’s wife to get a divorce. He didn’t really like this daughter-in-law, but he cared about the Rong family’s reputation.
Rong Jingtang’s wife understood what Mater Rong really cared about, but Master Rong hit the point.
If she really divorced Rong Jingtang, they wouldn’t give her the kids. She loved her kids so much that she wouldn’t leave them. Therefore, Rong Jingtang’s wife fell into a dilemma.
If she got a divorce, her kids might be treated badly. If she didn’t do that, she would have to tolerate her husband’s betrayal.
Facing that dilemma, many women would choose to sacrifice themselves for the kids, and that included Rong Jingtang’s wife.
However, even though they didn’t a divorce, she still wanted someone to be punished.
“How are you going to deal with the mistress and the boy then?” asked Rong Jingtang’s wife.
“Um…” Master Rong hesitated. It was impossible for him to accept that woman, but the boy was of the Rong family’s blood so he wanted to accept the boy.
After all, Rong Jingtang didn’t have a son. He only had two daughters. Since Rong Jingtang didn’t have a son, even Master Rong felt sorry for him.
However, if Master Rong agreed to let the boy join the Rong family, Rong Jingtang’s wife might insist on getting a divorce and spread the news abroad.
Thinking of that, Master Rong decided not to accept the woman and the boy right now. He had to keep Rong Jingtang’s wife in the Rong family first, but Rong Jingtang opened his mouth right after he heard his wife’s words. “It’s my son. I must take him back home. I’ll just cut off my relationship with the woman.”
Rong Jingtang didn’t want to divorce either, because he knew that his wife was a good woman. His wife just didn’t want to get pregnant again, but they usually lived peacefully.
If he wanted to divorce, he would have divorced his wife after his mistress gave birth to a son for him. He wouldn’t wait for so long. After all, it had been eight years, and the woman was still his mistress.
Besides, he never had the thought of divorcing his wife for that woman, so he made it very clear at the very beginning. The woman accepted that, because Rong Jingtang was very generous and gave her a lot of money.
Actually, if the woman had standards, she wouldn’t have agreed to have his kid after knowing that he was already married.
“Shut your mouth!” Master Rong snapped at Rong Jingtang again. Although he had the same idea, he couldn’t say it, otherwise he would make the problem more difficult to solve.
“You…” Rong Jingtang’s wife was furious. Even though she wanted to give in, her husband wouldn’t give her the chance.
“Great, great, very well, if so, you can do what you want. You can bring the mistress and bastard home!” Once she finished, she ran upstairs.
The next moment, Master Rong slapped Rong Jingtang across the face and swore at him. “You disappoint me! If this goes abroad, the Rong family will be greatly humiliated. Go comfort your wife right now. Tell her you don’t know them at all. Send the woman and the boy abroad!”
“Dad, that’s my son!” Rong Jingtang argued. It was his son. Why couldn’t he accept his son?
Master Rong was angered by Rong Jingtang.
At this time, Rong Jingtang’s second elder brother said, “The boy is your son, but he’s an illegitimate son. If your wife has an illegitimate child outside, would you happily accept that? If you can’t, don’t be so rude and aggressive after you do the same.”
“I…” Rong Jingtang was struck dumb, and didn’t know what to say all of a sudden. If his wife had an illegitimate son outside, he wouldn’t accept it and would divorce her without hesitation. He might even beat her.
