Chapter 641: Chapter 641: Suizi Breaks the Game

"My marriage to Fan Hui cannot be annulled."

Many things are intertwined between the two families, with complicated and unspoken vested interests.

If we truly got divorced, it would deeply wound both families. My family would never agree, and even less so would the Fan Family.

Her heart as cold as ashes, her life as barren as decay, this was the state of Liu Xi’s marriage.

Living in a loveless marriage, every day felt like years, unable to enjoy life or escape her marriage.

She was merely 39, a few months younger than Chen Lijun, yet she lived as if she were an old woman. She could see through herself, her future several decades ahead, a living dead with no joy.

"In marriages like ours, not many couples live happily. Others can make it, and so can I. But at least they have children to look forward to, whereas I—"

Talking about her heartbreaking situation, Liu Xi’s voice was choked with emotion several times.

Luoluo reached out her tiny hand gently to touch her face, and her big eyes were filled with sympathy.

"Look, even such a small baby can feel emotional distress. She worries for me, but my daughter will never have a shred of affection for me in her life. I am walking on this painful one-way road, a journey of loneliness leading to death."

She did have some feelings for Fan Kun, but they both knew that they could never be together in this life.

The Fan Family would never accept the scandal of an affair between her and her brother-in-law. Even if one day, she could free herself from this suffocating marriage, Fan Kun would never marry her.

"Have you ever thought of having another child?", Suizi asked.

"How could I not have thought about it?! But Fan Hui—he isn’t really capable of it." Liu Xi was too embarrassed to go into details with a younger person.

Ever since discovering that her daughter had problems, she had wanted another child. However, Fan Hui had not even spent one night in their shared room throughout the year. Even though he was philandering around, he had never gotten a woman pregnant. She guessed he must be infertile now.

"Whether he is capable or not, does that matter?" Suizi lowered her eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"This marriage cannot be annulled. Thus, any child born within the marriage must bear the last name of Fan, and Fan Hui is regarded as his father."

Liu Xi felt as if she had opened the gates to a new world. Never had anyone presented her with such an unusual perspective on this matter. Could that really be an option?

"The advice I give to you is very simple. Have another child. Send Fan Lili to an unknown place in the countryside without anyone realizing, so she can never return and eliminate all her chances to do evil."

A foreign place, where no one would know.

Whether it was a mental hospital or elsewhere, it didn’t matter.

The Fan Family only needed a person who didn’t have a criminal record and wouldn’t do evil.

Where she was, didn’t matter.

"But, Lili has never been without me—"

"If you died today, right here in my mother’s house, then she would be forever parted from you. She wouldn’t even care about leaving you, are you sure you want to keep investing in this motherly love that will never pay off in return? Look down at my child, isn’t she adorable?"

Liu Xi looked down as if possessed, and Luoluo gave her a toothy smile which warmed her heart.

"I must be honest with you. My twins are not just ordinary kids. Their intelligence and emotional quotients are not low. Even though they’re very young, they’re different from other children. You wanting to have a second child like them, I’m afraid you couldn’t."

Liu Xi twitched her mouth. This blunt truth was indeed sharp, yet true.

"But as long as you don’t take random medications, it’s possible for you to give birth to a normal child. I know that my proposal sounds quite ruthless, but from the overall perspective, sending a dangerous person like Fan Lili to a professional treatment facility is not only alleviating your burden, but also your responsibility to society."

Allowing a person who possesses a threat to roam freely is a true irresponsibility to society. She didn’t even care about her parents, let alone the lives of others. Further chaos would surely come in the future.

Liu Xi was silent.

Every single word Suizi said hit the nail on the head.

But to emotionally accept this proposal, time was needed.

Perhaps only time.

"Give me some time to consider it— is what you’re saying also Fan Huang’s opinion?"

Liu Xi didn’t believe that Suizi, given her age, could have this level of foresight.

"It’s my opinion. If my father knew about it, he might not agree with me."

Suizi knew Fan Huang quite well; he was too virtuous to let Liu Xi and Fan Kun’s twisted relationship continue.

Though Suizi was brought up by Chen Lijun, she didn’t ignore the rules just like her mother’s cold-blooded actions. For she wasn’t as unwaveringly upright as Fan Huang either.

Suizi was in between her parents’ values, neither absolutely white nor completely black.

"Why are you advising me this way? And why do you call him dad?"

"I call him dad because he and my mom got a marriage certificate today. It doesn’t matter who my biological father is; from today onwards, he is my dad, and I am his only child."

The answer Suizi gave was very tactful.

Before the mystery between her parents was cleared up, she would not reveal her origins to anyone.

"The reason why I’m advising you this way is that I know many people have been pushed to the edge by life, leaving them with no choices. If you want to survive, you must compromise. With all the retreat paths blocked by God, you can’t compare yourself with others anymore. But you can still compete with yourself."

"Compete... with myself?"

"You’ve made too many compromises for the family. There’s nothing wrong in treating yourself a little bit better within reasonable limits. As long as you’re a bit happier today than yesterday, that’s enough. But the premise is you can’t hurt innocent people. If Fan Kun gets married in the future, you can’t hurt his wife. You must break it off with him. If you can do that, I’ll act as if I haven’t heard anything tonight, and I’ll know nothing."

Not to harm others is Suizi’s only bottom line.

She was not negotiating, she was commanding.

Since the moment Chen Lijun married Fan Huang, Suizi, as the only successor of Fan Huang, was entitled to command anyone in the Fan Family.

"I can do it."

"But from a personal standpoint, I think a divorce might not be a bad choice."

If it was Suizi, she wouldn’t put up with it. She had no feelings left anyway. Why not break it off?

The interest of the family meant nothing to her. Having lived again, she wanted to live for herself.

"No, the Fan Family has squandered my twenty years of youth. Why would I give it up? This is what they owe me. This is what Fan Hui owes me!"

"Alright, then I respect your decision." Suizi shrugged, everyone had their own fate, she couldn’t live for others.

Suizi thought that Liu Xi would take a long time to consider, but as a matter of fact, the next morning, Liu Xi came to see Suizi.

She agreed to send Fan Lili to a foreign place for treatment.

"I thought you’d need a long time," Suizi said.

Liu Xi covered her crying face in her hands and desperately shook her head.

"Do you know why she wanted to kill me?"

When she returned home yesterday, she was still uncertain about Suizi’s proposal. However, Fan Lili’s behavior made her decide.
