180 Forced to Marry

"Lu Shaoting!" Jiang Mei Ling broke into tears. "You spent the night with another woman without explaining anything to your wife! Maybe...if I didn't ask, would you even bother?!"

"Mei...I...you don't understand..."

"What do I not understand about you sleeping in another house instead of staying with your family?!"

"She is also my family! I'm the only family she had left! When you were a pampered princess in your happy family, she only had her father. When fans loved you, she already lost him! My aunt was too sick to even recognize her. My father did not want to recognize her so I had to meet her in secret. She needed me so I went to be there for her. I'm telling you right now because I don't want you to misunderstand." He grabbed her arms to make her steady.

"You...you're mean!" She raised her fists to knock onto his sturdy chest as she made a childish expression.

"Mei..."

She suddenly stopped her antics. Then she chuckled. "Then again...you were just forced to marry me." She had a bitter smile.

Their engagement had been long arranged before they reached the age of 10. After graduating high school, they had their formal ceremony before entering college. After graduation, they prepared for their wedding for two whole years. Nobody objected to anything, but then again, not objecting does not always mean agreeing.

"No." He looked at her sternly. He never thought that he was forced to do so. "Don't say that ever again!" The words sounded like they weighed tons.

"But in your eyes, I'm just a pampered spoiled princess, a piece of work." She widened her bitter smile.

"Don't be unreasonable!" His grip on her arms tightened as his expression turned gloomy.

"Now I'm being unreasonable?! Did I tell you to sleep with another woman?!"

"I'm not having an affair! She's my cousin for pete's sake!"

She snickered. "Don't worry. It happens to most arranged marriages. I can understand." Her sarcasm made him furious.

"Jiang Mei Ling! Listen to me!" His hands shook her petite body as if to wake her up. "I married you because I wanted to, not because my parents wanted me to. When I faced you on our wedding day and made my vows, I meant every word. I will stay married to you and loyal to you because I love you! You know me. I never settle for anything less than what I think is best! Even my parents, if they would give me a half-ass production, will get a word from me! So I did not settle for less when I married you! I chose the best! It is just of good riddance that the person my parents chose would be the person I wanted to spend my life with."

Her pretty face contorted as she sniffed while her eyes watered.

Ming Xiaoyu rode her black BMW M6 after meeting Yang Jeong Cheol.

There was an eerie silence in the car, but the driver was too afraid to turn on the radio.

In her reverie, Ming Xiaoyu remembered the day she brought her son to be tested as a donor for Yang Jeonghan.

"Mother, why do I need to be tested? We're not even related to them. Are they so desperate in finding a donor?"

She eyed him with a subtle shock in her eyes which she successfully changed before he noticed.

"They were long time friends with me. His father contributed to my success. I only wanted to lend help as much as I could. Don't worry. There is a low chance that you'll be a match since you're not related by blood." she explained.

In truth, she also used the opportunity to bribe a geneticist to do a DNA test between her son and Yang Jeong Cheol, who also submitted his sample, hoping he could be a match.

When the old Madam Xiu ordered the attack on her son's lover, she had sent several young men from rich families to have their way with her one after another.

The first to take advantage of her was Ming Rouguang. He never learnt that several men came after him in succession. When Wong Xiaoyu was known to be pregnant, he took it as his responsibility and nobody else objected.

Wong Xiaoyu was forced to marry him even though she was not even sure if he was the father of her unborn child back then.

However, as Ming Rong Zhang grows up, she saw that he does not resemble his father, not one bit. She began to suspect that his father might be someone else from all the men who wronged her.

One-by-one, she managed to test them through either unknown or forced way. This time, it was Yang Jeong Cheol's turn.

When she found out the results, she took advantage if the donor match to use this family to carry out her next plot of revenge.
