After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 1003 - 533: Unable to Become In-Laws

Chen Xiaoxia’s words left Hong Xiaodan’s parents somewhat speechless.

Previously, they hadn’t really considered whether Chen Feng and their daughter could live well together after being forced into marriage.

The main issue was their daughter’s sudden pregnancy, and yesterday she confessed the details of how it happened—not pushing the blame onto Chen Feng, but admitting she took advantage of his drunken state to sleep with him. Despite this, it shattered their worldview, and coupled with their daughter repeatedly urging them not to force Chen Feng to marry her, it angered them greatly.

They only have one daughter, Hong Xiaodan, and both of them are prominent figures in Tianzhou. It was indeed hard for them to accept their daughter being unmarried and pregnant without even having a boyfriend.

If word spread, it would undoubtedly be a huge scandal for their family and quickly become a local laughingstock.

As for considering an abortion, they were definitely unwilling. They both dreamt of their daughter marrying early and giving them a grandson as soon as possible.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t know who would benefit from their billions in assets in the future. The earlier a third-generation heir is born, the better.

Therefore, in the past two days, their top priority was to press Chen Feng into marrying their daughter, rectifying the situation by burying the pregnancy news.

In their subconscious, they felt their daughter was the best, and with their wealth, she should be attractive to any man—meaning they thought there was no man worthy of her in this world.

As for whether the couple would get along and be happy, they hadn’t given it much thought. If it did cross their mind, they would instinctively assume the couple should get along and be happy.

This confidence stemmed from their daughter’s excellence in various aspects and their family’s wealth.

But when both sides met today, they immediately clashed, with Chen Feng, the person involved, speaking sharply and resolutely, showing no intention of marrying their daughter.

With Chen Xiaoxia bringing up this issue now, the parents were forced to confront it.

No matter how much they successfully pressured Chen Feng into submission, their daughter wouldn’t necessarily be happy in the future, and there was even a high likelihood of unhappiness, increasing the chances of divorce.

In this regard, Chen Xiaoxia was indeed an insightful bystander who grasped the crux of the problem quickly.

Zhao Xiaolan immediately followed up, saying: "Xiaoxia is right. It’s not that my son doesn’t want to take responsibility, but he wasn’t the one at fault from the beginning and has no responsibility. Now you want him to be responsible, which is completely unreasonable. Moreover, he already has a girlfriend he loves. So, it’s impossible for my son to get engaged or married to your daughter.

However, the child is innocent, and if you plan to have the child, I can decide that both families will co-parent this child. If you don’t want the child, out of humanitarian concern, our family is willing to give ten thousand yuan as compensation for nutritional expenses."

Hong Qilei immediately frowned and said in a deep voice: "Our family is religious; it’s impossible not to have the child."

Zhao Xiaolan continued: "Then the child will be co-parented by both families."

Hong Qilei listened, his brow furrowing even tighter. Co-parenting—would the child belong to your family or ours?

The couple being on the same page, Mrs. Hong said: "Your son doesn’t plan to marry my daughter, so what’s the point of co-parenting? Besides, our families live so far apart; how could co-parenting work?"

Zhao Xiaolan laughed slightly: "If you don’t want co-parenting, then after the child is born, you can give them to our family for upbringing, since the child is my biological grandchild..."

"Nonsense!" Hong Qilei interrupted Zhao Xiaolan loudly, glaring and saying, "This child was conceived by my daughter, and your son doesn’t take responsibility. What’s there for your family to raise? This is our family’s child."

Zhao Xiaolan’s face immediately darkened, and Chen Dayong, who hadn’t spoken until then, angrily said: "Without my son’s seed, would your daughter have conceived this child?"

Hong Qilei immediately turned livid, glaring at Chen Dayong and said coldly: "Like father, like son, indeed."

"Alright, alright. Both of you combined are over a hundred years old. Don’t speak as if you’re children."

At a crucial moment, it was Chen Xiaoxia who stepped out to ease the atmosphere and prevent the situation from worsening.

"Now I believe you should understand that our family’s Ah Feng is not suitable for Little Dan; forcing them to be together will certainly not bring happiness. Not to mention, Little Dan’s pregnancy was entirely her own decision. Ah Feng knew nothing about it in advance and is very innocent. It is unreasonable for you to want him to marry Little Dan.

Of course, with Little Dan being pregnant now, it is a matter concerning both families. Besides not being able to let Ah Feng marry Little Dan, we can discuss anything else slowly."

Chen Xiaoxia’s words were quite fair, and while Hong Qilei and his wife’s expressions weren’t good, they could listen.

Once Chen Xiaoxia finished speaking, Hong Qilei said in a deep voice: "Since you don’t plan to make a match with our family, there’s no need to discuss anything further. There’s nothing to discuss. You can leave now."

By the time he finished, he directly issued an order to leave, waving his hand to show they should hurry up and go.

His attitude was certainly unfriendly and impolite, even making Chen Xiaoxia’s expression turn slightly unpleasant.

Zhao Xiaolan replied coldly: "This child is not only yours but ours too. If you want to take sole possession of this child, our family will not agree."

Hong Qilei retorted with wide eyes: "Your son doesn’t plan to marry my daughter; what does this child have to do with your family?"

Zhao Xiaolan also stared back and argued: "This child is my son’s biological child; of course, it has to do with our family. After this child is born, we also have custody rights."

Hong Qilei shouted angrily in rebuttal: "Dream on! Your son doesn’t plan to marry my daughter; what kind of nonsense custody rights are there?"

Zhao Xiaolan held her ground, arguing: "Since he’s biologically my son’s, we have custody rights."

"You, woman, I’m not wasting my breath on you. Leave now!" Hong Qilei, both angry and impatient, waved vigorously, ushering them out.

Zhao Xiaolan was about to retort, but Chen Feng stopped her: "Mom, it’s too early to discuss these things now. Let’s talk after the child is born."

Zhao Xiaolan then held her tongue.

"Then let’s go for now."

Chen Xiaoxia, still looking somewhat displeased, turned to her family to speak.

"Wait a moment."

As they were about to walk out, Hong Xiaodan suddenly appeared, causing everyone to turn back and look at her.

She was less than three months pregnant, her belly wasn’t big yet, and wearing a loose T-shirt, she didn’t show any signs of pregnancy. Her short hair remained, her beauty still present, but she appeared thinner, and the dark circles under her eyes seemed deeper.
