Chapter 281: Pay Back A Hundred Thousand

To put it simply, Xu Lei got pregnant at a dangerous age . Her children were weak, and she gave birth to twins . Xu Lei couldn’t take care of three children at once .

They wanted to announce that their eldest son was adopted once he was born . But now that she had two infants, adopting one in such a hurry would arouse suspicion .

If she didn’t have her children, it would be fine if the eldest was seen as an adopted son . But when she had children of her own, saying that the eldest son was adopted would hinder his growth .

Since they were family, they wouldn’t treat the eldest son differently . But some trolls just loved to fabricate stories . Heavens knew how much that would affect their family .

Xu Lei was exhausted during that period . She got a nanny to take care of her children after she was done with postpartum period . But then that nanny was evil . It was fortunate that Xu Lei managed to stop the torture in time, but since then, she had harbored a distrust toward nannies .

Zhang Yuan kept on taking care of their eldest son . She was the surrogate mother whom Hou Cang and Xu Lei had hired .

Hou Cang’s mother was in bad health . Xu Lei’s parents had passed away . There was also bad blood between her and her siblings . Xu Lei couldn’t possibly ask them for help .

In this time of crisis, Zhang Yuan sought them out . Her ex-boyfriend swindled her fees as a surrogate mother . He also overspent her credit card by a hundred thousand yuan . Obviously, she couldn’t pay up . Zhang Yuan was facing criminal responsibility .

She begged Xu Lei and Hou Cang to save her . The couple was kind . Hou Cang helped her clear her debt of a hundred thousand yuan .

When she knew the plight of Hou Cang and Xu Lei, Zhang Yuan proposed staying and taking care of the children to repay her debt .

Xu Lei welcomed the help with open arms . Unexpectedly, Hou Cang’s mother found out that she had grandchildren now . She insisted on moving in to stay with the children .

They didn’t dare tell Hou Cang’s mother the truth . They might shock her too much . Hou Cang’s mother couldn’t accept her son hiring such a young nanny who even had a son of her own .

Hou Cang’s mother thought that a nanny like Zhang Yuan would arouse suspicion .

Under Hou Cang’s mother’s intervention, Zhang Yuan moved out together with Zhang Zhixuan .

Hou Cang’s mother passed away when Zhang Zhixuan was four . But by this time, the boy only saw Zhang Yuan as his mother .

Hou Cang and Xu Lei, who frequently visited him, were only a kind aunt and uncle to him .

Xu Lei did try to get Zhang Zhixuan to stay with them . But the boy would always look for his mom in the end .

Xu Lei tried to insist on making Zhang Zhixuan stay, but the boy refused to eat as a form of protest . Even when he fainted from hunger, he insisted on looking for Zhang Yuan .

Xu Lei and Hou Cang couldn’t explain surrogacy and bonds by blood to a child that young back then .

They couldn’t explain their absence in his first four years of life .

This was the sin she committed, so Xu Lei had to bear the consequences . She acknowledged Zhang Yuan as Zhang Zhixuan’s mom .

She and Hou Cang paid for all of Zhang Zhixuan’s expenses . They wanted to tell him the truth when he grew up .

But they didn’t expect this accident to happen when the boy was barely ten years old . They had to move their plan forward .

“Oh heavens . This is wild . ” Song Meng exclaimed when she was done reading the post .

“Fate loves to play cruel jokes,” Yun Xiangxiang sighed softly .

Xu Lei went from an infertile woman to a mother of three . When Hou Cang’s mother interfered, everything spiraled out of control .

Xu Lei posted all the agreements between her and Zhang Yuan, including the records of Zhang Yuan’s surrogacy overseas . There was also the certification of adoption .

Most people wanted to believe this to be true . Many women went through a lot of hardships to get pregnant . Some of them failed even until now . Those who were tortured by their failure to conceive expressed their understanding in the comment section .

Marriage involved more than the couple [1] . Having children or not wasn’t up to the married couple .

It was a different time back then too . Late marriage and late pregnancy were common occurrences . The newlyweds could only enjoy their married life for six months before the unnecessarily nosy relatives would bombard them with stupid questions like when they would have a child . Even when it was none of their business .

Of course, not everyone went through that kind of torture . So many of them didn’t believe this to be the truth .

Some of them even attacked the couple maliciously .

[Perfect PR stunt, I’d say . If any men cheats from now on, they can say they were forced to do it . As long as the wife is consoled . ]

[In the end, it’s all about the money . The wife is worried that she couldn’t dig more gold if Hou Cang falls, so she’s being a cuck . ]

[She wouldn’t . Even if Hou Cang falls, Xu Lei can be a scriptwriter . I mean, look at her skills . She’s going to be famous . ]

[Women who defend scumbags are the worst of the worst . ]

“How can people be this evil?” Song Meng was furious .

Yun Xiangxiang snatched her phone: “Stop reading it . Confirmation bias gets everyone – especially trolls . Truth matters not in their eyes . Nor is understanding or tolerance . What matters is their thoughts . ”

As an actress, Yun Xiangxiang had come across hordes of people like these . Getting angry with them was an insult to her . She didn’t have to do it .

“I can’t understand these people . It is fine if they don’t believe it . That’s their choice . But why do they have to create this kind of narrative?” Like they want the whole world to stand on their side .

They even ridiculed and attacked people who chose to believe . These trolls were sick .

Hou Cang didn’t offend them either . Why did the trolls try their best to ruin his family?

It was unnecessary to show their ugly side . This world could use some more kindness .

“Remember to give me a heads up when you can understand these people’s behavior,” The silent Li Xiangling blurted .

“Why?” Song Meng looked at Li Xiangling defensively .

This girl was a future lawyer . She knew where to attack .

“Since we are friends, I’ll recommend the safest mental asylum for you . ” Li Xiangling said thoughtfully, “The moment you understand them is when you are not far from becoming one of them . ”

“Oh, that’s so touching . Thank you so much, bestie,” Song Meng looked at Li Xiangling annoyedly .

“You’re welcome . ” Li Xiangling turned off the computer and turned to Yun Xiangxiang, “I just transferred one hundred thousand yuan to you . ”

“What?! Why did you give Xiangxiang that much money?!” Song Meng never had that much money in her life before .

“I borrowed it from her around this time last year,” Li Xiangling answered .

Yun Xiangxiang took out her phone to check . She did have a hundred thousand credited into her account . “How did you make this money?”

Li Xiangling cleared her debt of a hundred thousand in a year . At her age, Li Xiangling was supposed to be busy with her studies . Yun Xiangxiang was curious about where she got this money .

“Stocks,” Li Xiangling didn’t hide it from Yun Xiangxiang and Song Meng .

“Why didn’t you take me with you?!” Song Meng went up and pinched Li Xiangling as she interrogated her friend .

“Do you have the capital to enter the market?” Li Xiangling shook Song Meng’s hand off .

Song Meng was speechless .

“I can borrow from Xiangxiang!”

“Can you?” Li Xiangling probed .

Song Meng was annoyed .

She wanted to break ties with Li Xiangling . Song Meng didn’t need a friend like her .

But Li Xiangling wasn’t about to let her go . “Can you discipline yourself?”

Stock trading is hazardous . Those who won a bit would go deeper into it . Many were the stories of people driven to desperation and committed suicide because of their losses in stocks .
