Chapter 1639: Chapter 1639: The Guy of Unknown Origin
Yun Yuejing sneered coldly, "I didn’t expect it, of course, because all you care about is your family, your reputation, having an excellent heir to inherit your business, you don’t care about his life or death. That day, I took a boat to the accident site to pay tribute to Ling Yun, I found him from the sea, do you know how joyful I was when I saw his face?"
Her voice was both desolate and filled with a deep maternal tenderness, so light and soft, like a gentle dew.
Her eyes overflowed with an unusual joy and excitement.
"He truly looks like my Ling Yun, those brows, that face, so similar, piercing my heart... My Ling Yun died in the sea, yet he emerged from the depths. Surely, heaven saw my suffering and sent a child back to me. With him, I have the courage to keep living."
Halian Jing was stunned, looking at her face, filled with both pain and joy, he felt a deep ache in his heart. He knew his wife had been grieving deeply since their son’s death, but he hadn’t realized she was so fragile inside, having already lost her will to live.
During these two years of convalescence, he thought she was gradually recovering from the pain, yet she had fallen deeper into it.
"So, Halian Jing..." Yun Yuejing stared at him sharply, such a delicate woman, yet bursting with immense strength, "If you dare do anything to him, I will never forgive you."
"I promise, I won’t lay a finger on him." Halian Jing smiled bitterly.
"I want to adopt him and make him my child."
"Madam, let’s discuss this matter at length..."
"Shut up. If you refuse, just say so, no need to stall and then find a way to get rid of him. After all these years, don’t I know your character? I’m determined to adopt him. If you don’t agree, then fine, we divorce, and I’ll adopt him myself." The Councilman’s wife was adamant.
"Dare to try divorcing." Halian Jing trembled with anger, his face changed dramatically, feeling immensely frustrated.
This is insane, the lady actually wants to divorce him because of a brat.
To outsiders, he is a tough and uncompromising iron-blooded politician. Once he decides on something, not even public pressure can sway him.
But with his wife, he becomes weak.
He is tough, yet she is tougher. His authority amounts to nothing in front of her, and the most helpless thing is, he deeply loves his wife, which is why she is his Achilles’ heel, he cannot help but submit to her.
Faced with such surrender, he was ultimately unwilling, losing his marital authority.
"Not agreeing, right? Fine, see you in court!" Yun Yuejing shouted angrily, turning to leave.
Halian Jing was furious enough, finally panicking, grabbing her a politician used to commanding storms and with deep scheming, had to bow down before his beloved wife: "Alright, alright, I surrender, I’ll do as you wish!"
"Really?" Yun Yuejing was overjoyed, her face radiant with smiles.
"It’s true." Halian Jing smiled painfully, resigned.
He couldn’t bear to see his wife in constant grief. Her health wasn’t good, if she continued to wallow in the loss of their son, she was bound to fall seriously ill.
He had already lost his son, he couldn’t bear to lose his wife too.
If this young man could help her regain vitality and the belief to live, then even if reluctantly, he was willing to accept it.
However, he couldn’t help but worry about this young man, and even if they were to adopt him, he had to take some precautions.
Halian Jing made a secret decision.
...
That night, once his wife was asleep, Halian Jing privately went to find Ji Lingkong.
The room Ji Lingkong stayed in was very large and comfortable.
