Chapter 935 - 452
Wu Xinyu’s days at the Wu Family were not as good as she usually showed.
Her father believed strongly in gender preference; her mother had damaged her health giving birth to her and couldn’t conceive again. Her father had always wanted a son. Thus, he found a mistress.
This mistress was formidable, and her ability to bear children was commendable. She knew Wu Xinyu’s father had always wanted a son and knew that giving birth to a son was her chance to marry into the Wu Family.
Indeed, after she got pregnant, she actually gave birth to a son, which overjoyed Wu Xinyu’s father.
To legitimize his son and not have him as an illegitimate child, Wu Xinyu’s father, disregarding her mother’s crying and pleading, divorced her mother. When her parents divorced, they had asked her with whom she wanted to live.
Wu Xinyu didn’t think twice before answering that she wanted to stay with the Wu Family.
Wu Xinyu was exceptionally pragmatic. Her mother received a settlement from the divorce, but that money was nothing compared to the Wu Family’s wealth. Moreover, staying with her mother meant leaving the Wu Family, which would strip her of the title of Miss Wu of the Wu Family.
It would also mean leaving the upper-class circles of Capital City.
She couldn’t stand to see that happen.
Therefore, even though she knew her father did not appreciate her, and staying meant living at the mercy of others, she steadfastly chose to stay with the Wu Family.
