CEO's Gossipy Wife and His Family Ep 5

....

The three members of the Jeon family jolted simultaneously, as if their vital energy channels had suddenly been unblocked. Seokjin's face, however, turned pale. The worst he had imagined was not adopting the child, but he hadn't expected divorce to be mentioned. His initial reaction was to reject the idea.

The Jeon family actually knew that Jin wouldn't divorce. Although gentle, he had a stubborn streak deep down and wouldn't listen to persuasion. Otherwise, given Li Zhi's indifferent attitude towards Jin on a daily basis, they would have made them divorce a hundred times already. But after Taehyung's comment, the Jeon family couldn't help but feel a stirring of excitement.

They really wanted to advise separation, really wanted to advise separation, really wanted to advise separation! The three exchanged glances.

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

Jungkook took the lead, "Now that the child has appeared, it proves that what happened back then was a mistake. I suggest we go straight for divorce."

Li's Mother and Li Zhi trembled, looking at Jungkook with shocked expressions. For a moment, they couldn't react, after all, in wealthy families, who didn't have a few illegitimate children? They then looked at Jeon's parents and found that they didn't seem to have any objection to the idea.

Jeon Seokjin/, Jeon's 1st son/Ore

But at this moment, Jin disappointingly spoke up "This... this doesn't count as Li Zhi wronging me."

The three Jeon family members looked at Jin with exasperation. Taehyung almost spat out his mouthful of food. Seokjin knew he had let his family down and lowered his head. In this posture, he looked remarkably similar to Li Jun beside him.

Li Zhi

Li Zhi immediately sneered and said, "Indeed, if we were to argue about who wronged whom, we wouldn't know where to begin."

Although he said this quietly, everyone could hear it. In an instant, the Jeon family members held their breath, falling silent, especially Jin, whose face turned ashen. It was as if he no longer wanted to dwell on the issue of adopting the child. It was like someone had grabbed them by the throat. Taehyung caught the scent of gossip.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[After all, he's the eldest ore son of the Jeon family. he married down, so why is he living such a miserable life? And how can this Li Zhi be so righteous about having an illegitimate child? Let me investigate.]

Jungkook reacted, wanting to interrupt Taehyung's thoughts to avoid poking at his Hyung's wounds, but it was too late.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[So Seokjin and Li Zhi were senior and junior at university. Because Li Zhi broke up with Qiao Meng, he drowned his sorrows in alcohol at a university event, where Seokjin, who was also at the event, took care of him, and then... well, you know. Huh? Why does this plot seem familiar?]

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

Jungkook wanted to facepalm in embarrassment. 💭What have you done? Have you completely forgotten?

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[As a result, the next day Qiao Meng came looking for him and saw the two together. Heartbroken, she left for a distant place. When Li Zhi sobered up, he was furious, believing that Seokjin, who had always had a crush on him, had taken advantage of his unconscious state to possess him, ruining his love with Qiao Meng and preventing him from winning her back.]

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[Soon after, Seokjin became pregnant, and the Jeon family had no choice but to approach Li Zhi to ask his intentions. Only then did Li Zhi take responsibility and marry Jin. So Seokjin has always felt he wronged Li Zhi? ]

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[Later, they lost the child, and seokjin considered divorce to give Li Zhi his freedom, but Li Zhi refused, saying he didn't want to be seen as a scumbag who divorces when they can't have children, as it would be bad for his professional reputation. He even explicitly stated that everything was seokjin's fault, so he had no right to initiate a divorce.]

Due to Taehyung's recap, the Jeon family members all fell silent. Seeing their silence, Li's Mother and Li Zhi felt even more emboldened.

Li Zhi

Li Zhi's tone became even colder and more arrogant as he addressed Jin. "Think it through carefully!"

It seemed like he was giving Jin the freedom to choose, but it only made Jin look more resigned. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a sarcastic inner voice from across the table.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[Damn, this guy is a master at mooching off others! I've seen many shameless people, but this is the first time I've seen someone so utterly shameless.]

This time, the Jeon family didn't feel as united in their resentment. The Jeon family helping the Li family did have a bit of a sugar daddy feel to it, but they had offered it willingly, so it couldn't be called shameless. After all, once married, they were one family. However, Taehyung's support for their family still warmed their hearts.

But Jin felt a bit uncomfortable hearing Taehyung insult Li Zhi like this. he instinctively wanted to refute, but Taehyung's criticism continued relentlessly.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[Drunken mistakes are just an excuse. If a man isn't conscious, he can't get it up. Mistaken identity and memory loss are all lies. In fact, the subconscious knows who it is at the time, it's just that self-control is lowered, and they want to use someone else as a tool to indulge themselves. After sobering up, they don't want to admit it, so they blame others!]

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[Didn't Jungkook have experience of being tricked? Doesn't he know how to compare his Hyung's situation? Or does he not know the truth about that night?]

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

💭 Wait, did you just reveal something???

Jeon's parents: !!!! Did they hear something they shouldn't have? Seokjin, however, was stunned, all color draining from his face, leaving him as pale as paper.

Flashback

That was the biggest mistake he had made in his life. At the time, when the drunk Li Zhi pounced on him, he had initially struggled.

Li Zhi

But Li Zhi had said: "I want to hold you, I'm so sad."

FB Ends

Those soft words had softened Jin's heart, and he had gone along with it. he thought that since Li Zhi had his eyes open, looking at him, and had reacted to him, he must have wanted to be with him.

Who knew that after Li Zhi sobered up, he would say he had no consciousness at all, questioning whether he had taken the initiative, making Seokjin believe that he had been the despicable one who had seduced him in the heat of the moment. Such private matters were certainly not discussed in detail, so naturally, there was no way to distinguish truth from falsehood.

Jeon Seokjin/, Jeon's 1st son/Ore

💭So, was it all a lie? Was Li Zhi the initiator that night?

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[And he says Jin Hyung ruined his love with Qiao Meng? That he used the child to tie him down? I'm laughing my head off. Wasn't it because he couldn't compete for the top hospital internship opportunity at that time, his future prospects were affected, and he realized that some things indeed relied on connections and background?]

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[ Wasn't it after his mother's constant nagging that he weighed the pros and cons and chose not to chase after Qiao Meng, but to marry Jin Hyung instead? He's really having his cake and eating it too! Did the Jeon family threaten him? Did Ji. Hyung morally blackmail him? No, right?]

Jeon Dongwook/Jeon's dad

💭Of course not!

After all, their son had also been willing, and he had to bear the consequences of his own mistakes. Back then, if Li Zhi had said even one word of refusal, they would have taken the child and left!

But Li Zhi agreed to marry, and they thought he was being responsible. Who knew he would always be so cold towards Seokjin afterwards. So he had always been blaming Jin and the Jeon family. But now, according to Taehyung's words, Li Zhi had wanted to marry Jin purely for his own benefit!

At this moment, Jin was greatly shocked, looking at Li Zhi in disbelief. After all, Li Zhi had always presented himself as noble and ambitious, truly capable and excellent, giving the impression that he disdained their family's help and could rely on himself. This was a complete reversal of his impression, so much so that he felt Taehyung was maliciously speculating.

But Taehyung's criticism continued.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[If he was really tied down by the child issue, couldn't he have divorced after losing the child? He gave a bunch of reasons, all high-sounding, but it's nothing more than not wanting to give up the resources provided by the Jeon family, wanting to continue living off them. He doesn't want to eat kneeling down, he wants to stand while eating their food, and after eating, he still wants to complain that the food doesn't taste good. Tsk tsk tsk.]

It was as if someone had carved a new crevice in Jin's mind, leaving him a bit dazed. In fact, some of his close friends had speculated about Li Zhi like this before, but Jin had angrily refuted them.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[Living off others is one thing, but to go so far as to ask his wife to adopt his illegitimate child, I really wonder what's going on in Jin hyung's head?]

By this point, the Jeon family members were also silently looking at Jin, feeling utterly helpless.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[Huh? He actually told Jin Hyung that if it weren't for him, he and his ex-girlfriend would have reconciled, and their child wouldn't have become illegitimate. So he has no right to refuse that child.]

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[I think Jin Hyung has been beaten down and negatively reinforced for so many years that he's become foolish. People should spend less time reflecting on themselves and more time blaming others! Is he really rushing to be the biggest fool now?]

seokjin's eyes reddened from being scolded. he asked himself.

Jeon Seokjin/, Jeon's 1st son/Ore

💭Is it really all his fault?

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[The Jeon family doesn't seem to know how to guard against such things. Aren't wealthy families supposed to be more shrewd? How could they all be so naive, letting themselves be manipulated by an upstart?]

The Jeon Family: Wah, we're being criticized.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[I'm especially disappointed in this coconut head. Isn't a CEO supposed to be strategically minded? He seemed quite astute before!]

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

💭 ...How could he investigate those deep-seated thoughts? Only Taehyung could uncover them.

He had always felt that Li Zhi wasn't much, but his hyung liked him. Although they weren't a loving couple, Li Zhi hadn't done anything to mistreat his hyung, except for this incident today. He never interfered in his siblings' lives, at most offering a few words of advice. Who knew there were so many landmines buried underneath? Taehyung was thoroughly enjoying the drama unfolding, so much that he lost his appetite and finally put down his bowl and chopsticks.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[This is too infuriating. Let me be 'tactless' for once. Although I can't directly reveal the secrets I've uncovered, I can still stir things up. Watch me find a way to sabotage this ill-fated union.]

Jungkook looked at the 'troublemaker' lost in thought, his mouth twitching slightly. Forget it, he'd better handle this himself.

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

Jungkook composed himself and said directly "Hyung, our family's stance remains unchanged. We hope you'll get a divorce. If you don't, we can't bear this shame and will choose to cut ties with the Li family in all future matters."

The Jeon family quickly understood that Jungkook was setting a trap, to see if Li Zhi was truly after power and status. Even though Jungkook fully believed Taehyung's words, the others still had some reservations, after all, Li Zhi's original intentions were impossible to verify now. This was also Jungkook's way of helping Taehyung prove his point to everyone.

And to help his Hyung see clearly.

Li Zhi's Mom

"What do you mean by that?!" Li's Mother immediately became anxious and quickly looked towards Jeon's parents.

Jeon Dongwook/Jeon's dad

"In our Jeon family, Jungkook is now in charge. Whatever he decides goes."

Li Zhi's expression changed several times, his face quickly filling with indignant embarrassment, as if he had been insulted. This made the Jeon family members think that Taehyung's speculation might be wrong. But soon, everyone felt something was off. Because Li Zhi still hadn't spoken.

Li Zhi's Mom

Only Li's Mother was extremely anxious, tugging at Jin and saying "Did you hear what your brother said? He's not treating you like family at all! Besides, you're forcing our family line to end! If you're so capable, why don't you give birth to a child yourself? Then we wouldn't be in this situation!"

These words were offensive. Bo-ah immediately darkened her face and stepped forward to pull her son back to sit beside her.

Jeon Bo-Ah/Jeon's Mom

"Now we're telling your son to find a new wife. He can have as many children as he wants, no one's stopping him. He can even find this child's birth mother if he wants. What's the matter? Are you so unwilling to divorce my jinnie?"

Li's Mother hurriedly pulled her son. Li Zhi looked at Jungkook, frowning and about to speak.

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

Jungkook sneered and said "If you're worried about your reputation, rest assured. If you really divorce, we'll say our family couldn't accept an illegitimate child, so we forced my hyung to divorce. It won't affect you at all. Our family has helped your Li family considerably over the years. You surely don't think my hyung owes you anything, do you?"

With one sentence, he blocked all false excuses. Li Zhi's face turned ashen.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[Ooh, ooh, ooh! Killing blow! The Jeon family has finally stood up! Looks like I don't need to make an appearance after all.]

Hearing Taehyung's cheerful voice, the corners of Jungkook's mouth slowly curled upwards. The Jeon family naturally didn't want an innocent child to be homeless, but they also couldn't bear to see their precious son sad and miserable every day.

One cold husband was enough. Look how Jin turned now. Add a child to that, and he'd surely develop health issues from holding everything in. So divorce was the best option.

Li Zhi

A flash of ruthlessness passed through Li Zhi's eyes, and his tone carried a hint of threat as he spoke "Seokjin, since your family speaks this way, I'll take it as your intention as well?"

In the past, whenever Li Zhi was the slightest bit displeased, Jin would immediately try to appease him. By now, he should have been pleading with the Jeon family to preserve Li Zhi's dignity and the Li family's interests.

But this time, Seokjin finally remained silent. he hadn't yet recovered from the shock Taehyung had given him. Li Zhi's aloof expression wavered for a moment.

Li Zhi's Mom

Li's Mother immediately cried out "No, they can't divorce! Jin, you can't have children anymore, who else would want you!"

Jeon Dongwook/Jeon's dad

❄️"Hmph! Our Jeon family's eldest ore, there are plenty who'd want to marry him!" Dongwook said coldly.

Li Zhi's Mom

"But... he can't have children... other families would surely look down on him too. Marrying him would only be with ulterior motives."

Jeon Bo-Ah/Jeon's Mom

"Then he won't marry. We'll keep him in our Jeon family and dote on him," Bo-ah said. "If he wants children, we can adopt orphans. As long as my son is happy!"

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[If you ask me, is the inability to have children really just one person's fault? Maybe Li Zhi's genes aren't good enough for Jin Hyung. After the divorce, if he finds someone better and his mood improves, he might be able to have as many children as he wants!]

It must be said, Taehyung provided a new perspective. This made the Jeon family members look forward to life after the divorce. Even Jin, still immersed in shock, had his thoughts diverted.

Jeon Seokjin/, Jeon's 1st son/Ore

💭If he changed partners, would he be able to have his own children?

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[Oh right, I can check for Jin Hyung! I might be even more accurate than doctors.]

The Jeon family members: We can do that?!

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[Hmm, let me see. Oh, his body is indeed not in good condition, conception would be difficult, but not impossible.]

The Jeon family members were disappointed. It was about the same as what the doctors had said. But nine years had passed. The doctors probably just didn't want to rule out the possibility entirely. However, Taehyung suddenly became agitated.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[Damn, no wonder he couldn't have children! The responsibility must be shared equally!]

Jeon Bo-Ah/Jeon's Mom

????

Jeon Dongwook/Jeon's dad

???

Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO

????

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[Nine years... This Li Zhi fellow only comes home for a few days each month. They probably don't even share a bed more than a few times a year. The chances were already low, how could they possibly conceive? If he did get pregnant, he'd probably suspect him of cheating!]

Bombshell news!

The Jeon family members all looked at Jin in shock. Jin's face turned red immediately. How could this be known? Faced with such matters, he was naturally shy. How Could he speak of such things? Besides, he had always thought it was his body's problem, so he hadn't considered other possibilities.

The Jeon family members were furious. How dare Li Zhi blame Jin for not being able to have children when he hadn't even tried! But they couldn't bring this up to question him, and they unanimously felt there was no need to question anymore.

This marriage must end! It's too abusive! If Seokjin remained obstinate, they would force the divorce. But Taehyung's thoughts had wandered again.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[Strange? Even if he doesn't like Jin Hyung and doesn't want to share a bed with him, where does he go when he's not at home? Does he stay at the hospital? Is he really so busy that he can't come home? Isn't he the hospital director now? It can't be what I'm thinking, can it?]

Taehyung didn't have any preconceived notions about Li Zhi's lofty image. Thinking of this, his gossip-loving instincts made him wonder if this guy might be keeping a mistress outside. Bold hypothesis, careful verification. Can't make accusations without proof.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[Holy s**t!]

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[Holy s*i*t sh**t s**t!]

The Jeon family members' hearts were in their throats, holding their breath as they waited for Taehyung to drop the bombshell. Even seokjin's mind went blank, his emotions frozen.

Jeon Taehyung/Ore

💭[On the 18th floor of the high-end apartment next to the hospital... For these nine years... Li Zhi and Qiao Meng have been living there as husband and wife!]
