Chapter 5: Three-Chamber Interrogation

Wang Zhao sighed inwardly, not knowing how the situation had suddenly turned out like this.

Mother Wang sat on the sofa in the center of the living room, her face still bearing traces of unresolved anger, silently watching her daughter standing before her eyes.

On the other side, Li Zhenguan was being held by Father Wang, still silently crying, making her look like a Chen Shimei.

In the midst of silence, Mother Wang spoke: “Wang Zhao, you’ve been cold and reserved since childhood, always having your own ideas about everything, not close to me or your father. But we’ve taught you what we should have. Isn’t that right?”

Since childhood, Wang Zhao had been a good-looking child. By the time she reached middle school, she was the type that stood out from the crowd. Neighbors who saw her would say that their family’s child had an extraordinary appearance, looked good, and had a promising future.

Although the wife and father were pleased to hear this, they also feared that this child might misbehave outside relying on her looks. They had privately taught her many times to respect boys, not to bully others, and to be responsible.

Wang Zhao had always agreed well to this, never giving her wife-father duo cause for worry from childhood to adulthood. Who would have thought that now she would suddenly create such a big mess?

Wang Zhao wasn’t clear about what kind of person the original body was in childhood, but through the room’s arrangement and some of the original body’s small habits, she could roughly guess the other’s personality – a self-disciplined and self-restrained type.

That bookshelf had been basically all read through, with neat notes written all over.

So under Mother Wang’s questioning, she responded with a low voice.

Mother Wang continued to ask: “Then tell me, is the child in Zhenguan’s belly yours?”

Wang Zhao didn’t know either.

She frowned slightly, glancing at the person beside her with the corner of her eye, just meeting Li Zhenguan’s somewhat shrinking gaze. Her eyelids lowered again, and she didn’t speak.

She really wasn’t too sure. The relationship between the original body and this person called Li Zhenguan felt a bit confusing. Her side and Li Zhenguan’s side presented two completely opposite attitudes.

Moreover, this child really came suddenly and inexplicably. To be honest, she really had some doubts that the child wasn’t the original body’s.

But this wasn’t something good to say here, otherwise it would really make her look like a Chen Shimei.

So this unresponsive attitude seemed like both an implicit acknowledgment and a form of resistance. Under the strange silence, it increasingly looked like she had taken advantage of a young man and now refused to take responsibility.

Wang Zhao’s indifferent attitude immediately angered Wang Xuechun, who directly threw a remote control at her.

Her forehead was grazed at the corner, with fresh blood flowing down.

The wound wasn’t big, but once the red liquid appeared, it looked scary.

Father Wang let out a cry of surprise, hurriedly standing up and shielding Wang Zhao behind him, fearing that Wang Xuechun would strike again harshly. Li Zhenguan also stood up and came over, his eyes red, yet still shielding Wang Zhao in front, looking like he was about to cry but holding back, a sight that would make anyone’s heart ache.

After a moment of chaos, Mother Wang sat back down on the sofa, looking much more dejected.

Because of this child, her reputation in her later years was ruined.

This was truly a sin.

“Zhenguan, come over and sit down. Today, Auntie will definitely make Wang Zhao give you an answer. I won’t let you be taken advantage of.” Wang Xuechun no longer paid attention to Wang Zhao, who had been unable to say anything for a long time. She had Zhenguan sit beside her and asked in a low voice, “What are your own thoughts about this child?”

“Tell me, Auntie will make the decision for you.”

Li Zhenguan looked at Wang Zhao, whose temple was still bleeding, with red eyes, then lowered his head again, not speaking.

He had always been this kind of personality, and Wang’s parents had always known this.

Wang Xuechun’s expression remained unchanged. She glanced at her daughter standing stiffly in front of her and continued, “Our thought is that in a few days, both of our families’ parents should meet to discuss this matter, and also to arrange what comes next, to avoid damaging reputations when the pregnancy starts to show.”

This was Mother Wang’s current thinking.

The child was already there, three months along, definitely too late for an abortion. Since that was the case, they could only remedy the situation. Zhenguan was a child with a good personality, gentle and obedient. She knew her Wang Zhao had always been decisive, so matching with such a personality would be just right.

Since a mistake had been made, they might as well go all the way.

She had already given her attitude, letting Wang Zhao marry Li Zhenguan. As for what attitude Li’s family would have, that could only be discussed in a few days.

Wang Zhao also heard Mother Wang’s meaning.

She frowned, but still couldn’t say a word of objection, only casting her gaze on Li Zhenguan’s abdomen, as if she could stare out something.

In the second month after transmigrating, she suddenly had a child, plus a husband about to enter the family.
