Chapter 1217 - 815: I Won’t Fall for the Same Trick Twice

Her hand dropped, and she looked at Pu Wei...

"I never intended to disrupt your lives. If I truly wanted him to take responsibility, I would have gone to him the year this child was born."

Pu Wei hurriedly explained.

"You are the high and mighty Young Madam of the Yin Family. Even if you don’t teach at a university, you can live well, you can have a perfect life. But I am different. I need to support myself and my mentally challenged son. Even if he is an unspeakable shame for our family, he is still a piece of flesh that fell from me. I cannot let my son suffer anymore."

Su Xiaomeng stared at her intently...

"I copied your thesis, but I cannot admit it. I only posted the thesis online at the time to prove I had research results, that I had a thesis. I didn’t expect your thesis to be published in a prestigious magazine like London Language in September."

"After it was exposed, I was very scared. Fortunately, I copied your drafts and several revisions from Dick’s computer at the time. I only wanted to take a look back then..."

"I know, I knew that once the plagiarism issue emerged, you would definitely use these drafts and revisions to prove you’re the original author... So I quickly released the drafts, and now... you are unable to defend yourself."

"Mrs. Yin, please, I promise... As long as you can be wronged by this incident, I won’t let Pu Ling appear in front of Yin Shixiu or any member of the Yin Family."

"..."

"Your family of four will remain a family of four. I won’t interfere, and I won’t bother you anymore. Can I, Mrs. Yin... please? I’m sorry, I truly apologize..."

"Why should I trust you, Pu Wei?"

Pu Wei kept explaining why she acted this way, but Su Xiaomeng was no longer interested in listening, coldly asking with clarity in her eyes.

"Ah?" Pu Wei was stunned for a moment and seemed to realize what Su Xiaomeng was asking after a pause.

"You said you’ve always been watching our family, and I don’t know whether that’s true or not, but what I do know is..." Su Xiaomeng crossed her legs, looking at her, "I married an incredible man, and even after marriage, women keep circling around him; I’ve seen all kinds."

"...I... I’m telling the truth... I..."

"Pu Wei, coincidences like this are not easily encountered, but intentional coincidences are aplenty."

Su Xiaomeng finished with a slight smile,

"With what you said... I initially believed it. These pathological treatment sheets, and this depression treatment note, each has a physician signature and stamp; they truly do seem genuine, I genuinely believed it..."

Pu Wei blinked, looking somewhat bewildered.

"But on second thought, having a sister who is a medical professor makes creating these sheets not too difficult, right?"

"Mrs. Yin, what are you talking about..."

"Your whole family is professors, you have a sister who is a medical professor, a surgeon, correct? Your sister is a few years younger than you; I don’t know how much water there is in your professor titles, but Professor Chi Lun, whom I know, honestly admitted he did take a shortcut due to certain concerns."

"Pu Wei, I haven’t investigated you, even if you are a renowned professor at Beijing University, I am not interested. If not for my husband saying you and he once dated, I might have just been focused on resolving this thesis plagiarism incident."

"But now it seems, as my husband grows older, the more shameless women want to approach."

"..."

Pu Wei’s face slightly changed, and the next second, tears began to flow like a fountain, "You don’t believe... if you don’t believe, I can take you to see my son!"

"I know someone else, just like you, a university teacher, more beautiful than you, with a better figure, who has also been thinking about my husband for many years... she was also my teacher... she said pretty much the same thing as you just did..."

Su Xiaomeng murmured, and her words couldn’t mask a trace of sadness, "She came to me with a big belly at that time, telling me she didn’t want to ruin my family, but was helpless, having no choice..."

Listening to Su Xiaomeng’s words, Pu Wei’s tears kept falling, but her brow furrowed unintentionally.

"Do you think... this counts as being a slut but wanting to erect a memorial arch?"

Su Xiaomeng looked at Pu Wei with a slight smile, her eyes showed impatience and restrained anger in this gentle woman’s gaze,

"If you are genuinely so kind, if you can bear disgrace so remarkably, if you can consider other people’s families so well, then why sleep with a married man? And why give birth to a child with a man who won’t join you at the registry office?"

"Professor Pu, I am not dealing with smart women like you for the first time. I won’t fall for the same trick twice."

"You don’t believe... really, fine, I’ll take you to see my son."

Su Xiaomeng stood up, looking down at Pu Wei, "I don’t need to see your son; I trust my husband. He wouldn’t let a woman he doesn’t like give birth to his child and isn’t foolish enough not to know a woman has given birth to his child, nor would he refuse to take responsibility afterward. Pu Wei, you underestimate my husband and me."

She grabbed her bag and started to leave, thinking... she would have been wasting time, thinking Pu Wei really came to talk about the thesis plagiarism.

With this time, she might have already found a new solution.

Her bag was suddenly grabbed by Pu Wei, causing Su Xiaomeng’s footsteps to halt as she looked down at Pu Wei,

"What else is there?"

"I said I could take you to see my son! Seeing is believing! Do you think deceiving yourself is possible?"

"Pu Wei, if Yin Shixiu has an illegitimate child, even if with mental disabilities, even if missing limbs, please bring him to the Yin Family’s doorstep! I will go with them to the appraisal center for a DNA test! As long as the results prove they have a father-son relationship, I will have one more son starting today!"

"..."

"You don’t need to feel depressed, don’t need to be jealous, don’t need to feel ashamed, and don’t need to continue paying attention to my family."

Each word from Su Xiaomeng was forceful and determined, her eyes firm, causing Pu Wei to shrink back slightly.

"Back then, he hadn’t met you yet, it wouldn’t be strange if I was with him, even if I gave birth to his child..."

"Shixiu often says he was wild when young, admitting he isn’t a perfect gentleman or even a good person... but having been with him for so many years, even in his youth, he was never reckless."

"With women for whom acting surpasses life, now I understand why he said he never loved you."
