Chapter 142 - 42 Tranquility_2
"Moreover, the police investigated for nearly half a month before they learned from an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor at the hospital that the woman was actually infertile by nature and couldn’t have children at all. Even her own family didn’t know this, and it was only after her marriage that she discovered she couldn’t get pregnant and started to suspect, leading her to get tested at the hospital on her own. I guess it’s also for this reason that she chose to take that step."
"But for three full years, she kept this matter tightly hidden and didn’t let anyone know. During those three years, by serving her in-laws, she gained quite a few benefits from Chen Han’s parents; it seemed she had long been prepared for this."
"If her own family hadn’t been kind to her, it wouldn’t matter, but in fact, because she was their only daughter and was smart and beautiful, her family doted on her a lot. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have struggled to get the money for her to attend high school despite their financial difficulties."
Lin Xiaoguai was somewhat astonished; she felt that the woman Shen Chi was talking about vaguely resembled her former self, or maybe it was not quite the same since only parts of their situations were similar, everything else was completely different.
Such a person, other than being "naturally evil," she really couldn’t think of any other adjectives.
Moreover, only she understood how painful it was for a woman when she was unable to conceive; yet the other party managed to conceal it for three years without any slips, keeping her emotions to herself. This was beyond what could be described as deep scheming.
Such a woman, too cruel and too patient.
"Since then, Chen Han became very guarded against women who seemed too perfect, to the point of being faultless. Except for those whose intentions were very transparent and could be seen through at a glance, it was generally hard for him not to estrange them. Moreover, without elder family members making arrangements, and with his two sisters living far away, his marriage had been delayed like this." What Shen Chi didn’t say was that he felt Chen Han’s persistent apprehension was unnecessary; the woman had succeeded initially not only because of her own abilities but also because neither the astute Mr. Chen nor the meticulous Chen Han were present. His mother, despite being the wife of a village leader, was just a regular housewife, how could she compete with such a cunning woman?
