Cannon Fodder Is King [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter: 8

　　With just one glance, Zhu Zhengqing could see the inexplicable ambiguous relationship between Xu Jiaqing and Chen Yinglong.

Coupled with the fact that Meng Zezhi wanted to divorce Xu Jiaqing, Zhu Zhengqing immediately sat up straight, automatically imagining a big drama unfolding.

Even his gaze towards Meng Zezhi changed.

In fact, Zhu Zhengqing's guesses weren't far off.

Chen Yinglong had been secretly in love with Xu Jiaqing for over thirty years, to the extent that, in order to win Xu Jiaqing's affection, he didn't hesitate to poison the predecessor under Jiang Qiyang's instigation.

After the poisoning of his predecessor, within less than two years, the predecessor transformed from a gentle university professor into a violent and easily angered domestic abuser.

But people don't just explode out of nowhere!

The problem lay precisely with Chen Yinglong and Xu Jiaqing.

Years ago, in order to help his third brother, the predecessor handed over the six hundred thousand prepared for buying a new house. In a fit of anger, Xu Jiaqing kicked the predecessor out of the house.

At that time, the house they were living in was part of Xu Jiaqing's dowry.

Xu's family members advised against making a big deal out of the situation, but it still wounded the predecessor's pride.

　　Don't forget, the money given by his predecessor was all saved by him bit by bit, it didn't cost Xu Jiaqing a penny.

However, the predecessor also knew that accounts cannot be calculated like this. It was true that the money was saved by him, but Xu Jiaqing also made significant sacrifices for their little family.

He did owe Xu Jiaqing in this matter.

Although the predecessor was rational, he didn't have the heart of a saint and couldn't help feeling aggrieved.

But for the sake of this family, the predecessor had to humble himself and please Xu Jiaqing.

But unexpectedly, because of this matter, Xu Jiaqing had already developed a barrier in her heart towards him.

Chen Yinglong took the opportunity to get close, showing concern and care, appearing very considerate.

On one hand was the unwavering admiration of this diamond bachelor, and on the other hand was her husband who would even empty out their family's savings to help relatives. Xu Jiaqing's heart was filled with mixed feelings, and gradually, she inevitably became more intimate with Chen Yinglong.

Seeing this, although the predecessor felt somewhat uncomfortable, he believed that Xu Jiaqing wouldn't do anything to betray him, after all, their over a decade-long relationship was there. Moreover, not long ago, their family atmosphere had just eased up a bit after his third brother's matter. He didn't want to anger Xu Jiaqing again over such a trivial matter and cause unnecessary family disputes.

　　Originally, these barriers and grievances would have dissipated after Xu Jiaqing's child was born, including the predecessor's mother's aversion to Xu Jiaqing.

After all, the predecessor's mother's animosity towards Xu Jiaqing was based on Xu Jiaqing's inability to conceive. Even if Xu Jiaqing ended up having only a daughter, she would have been satisfied. It wasn't that she favored boys over girls; it was just that with the predecessor's third brother as a living example, she felt that having a daughter was not bad either. She could always bring a son in law into the family. Anyway, the predecessor wasn't lacking in money.
