Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 1161: Chapter 1162: Eavesdropping on a Secret

The most important thing was that he hadn’t given up on the idea of her adopting the child, and even her parents were beginning to be swayed, thinking it was a good idea.

But how could Meng Chaojun possibly agree?

The child was a mess that Duan Feian had gotten himself into, and had turned the family home upside down—what help could she offer as his sister?

So, she avoided it whenever she could.

The Duan Family had also been banned from entering the compound, and although Duan Qingqing was initially outraged, these past few days she had come to see it as a blessing, allowing her to avoid her relatives.

But she didn’t expect Duan Feian to be waiting for her at the gate to catch her.

”Qingqing, what do you mean? Recently when I call, you always say you’ve gone out, and when I wanted to enter the Meng Family’s compound, they said we’re not allowed in!” Duan Feian dragged Duan Qingqing to one side and asked furiously, ”Do you not care whether I live or die?”

Duan Qingqing sighed and said helplessly, ”Big brother, how could I not care about your well-being? But there’s really nothing I can do to help with your and sister-in-law’s issue! It’s between the two of you as a couple, how can I meddle?”

”I’m not asking you to deal with me and your sister-in-law’s issues. Your sister-in-law has already agreed not to divorce, but she insists that I send the child away.”

”Then send the child away!”

Duan Qingqing had made plans with Gu Xin today and was eager to meet him, having no patience to deal with Duan Feian at the moment.

”That’s your own nephew! Where do you suggest I send him? Qingqing, you can’t be so heartless! Dad and Mom also said that since you don’t have children, it would be perfect to adopt your nephew, treating him like your own and also solving my problem. How can you disagree?”

There it was again, back to the same topic!

”Big brother, even if I agreed, Chaojun wouldn’t agree! If you hadn’t brought the child over that day, I might have thought of a way to talk to him about adoption later, without letting him know that the child is yours. But you did bring the child, and Chaojun knows it’s your son, how could he possibly agree to me adopting him?”

”Then find a family to look after him for a while for me. In half a year, you can talk to your brother-in-law again, by then he probably won’t recognize the child, and he might just agree to adopt him?”

Duan Feian quickly came up with this idea.

Duan Qingqing was somewhat angry, ”Then why can’t you find someone yourself?”

”Qingqing, you’ve always been the clever one since we were kids, always more resourceful and capable than me. The year you saw your brother-in-law, you said you definitely wanted to marry him. After marrying him, you’d get to live in this military compound, and besides, he seemed easy to please. Even if he knew that your body had already been given to...”

He hadn’t finished speaking when Duan Qingqing rushed over and urgently covered his mouth, ”Big brother! What nonsense are you talking about?”

Duan Feian pulled her hand away, ”When have I ever talked nonsense? That year...”

”You promised me back then that you would never speak of this to anyone! You even swore that it would never slip out and that you would take it to the grave!”

Duan Qingqing was truly on the verge of bursting with anger.

Duan Feian immediately said, ”When you asked for my help that time, you also promised that you would help me with any problem I had in the future!”

Duan Qingqing paused.

Was this so-called honest elder brother?

He had always seemed so reliable, yet he kept a mistress outside and was now blackmailing his own sister!
