Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Love Humiliated
Xu Bingzhi did not leave; after he arrived, he shared his thoughts and was chased out by the grandmother.
And so, he waited in the car downstairs.
He suddenly became stubborn; today, he had to see his daughter no matter what.
In recent years, he had achieved success in his career but had not married. He had a girlfriend who gave birth to twins, both ten years old this year.
That girlfriend, like Cheng Ruojun, hoped to use the children to marry into the Xu Family.
In the end, the girlfriend’s hopes were dashed; she left the two children with him, received a sizable sum of money, and went off to enjoy herself.
He still had several girlfriends around him, changing them from time to time.
No matter how he changed, he always thought of Cheng Ruojun.
She was his first love.
He couldn’t forget the scene when he first saw Cheng Ruojun.
At that time, the social environment was bleak; everyone’s clothes and skin were dull, including the young students in the school.
But Cheng Ruojun was different.
Geological University didn’t have many girls; any girl with a bit of charm would be celebrated as the class beauty, but Cheng Ruojun was not just a bit charming.
She was incredibly beautiful.
On the first day of school, she wore a white summer cloth shirt, unlike other girls who styled their hair in pigtails; she let her hair down.
The silky black hair, thick and dense, cascaded from her shoulders, making her skin appear even whiter against it.
It wasn’t a pale whiteness but a delicate white tinged with pink, making her eyes seem larger and brighter.
When she walked into the classroom, all the boys held their breath, their eyes glowing.
On the first day of registration, the entire Geological University knew that a freshman girl named Cheng Ruojun looked like a celestial being.
Countless people pursued her; Xu Bingzhi couldn’t count them all.
In the end, he won her heart; it was a significant victory.
Only after winning her did he realize that the beauty was not pure and innocent; Cheng Ruojun had carefully selected, choosing the eldest son of the influential Xu Family in the city.
Young people in love argued and made up; he and Cheng Ruojun were no exception.
Especially in the year they broke up, their arguments became increasingly fierce.
Xu Bingzhi had his pride; he wanted to take Cheng Ruojun abroad and do business in the future. However, his family wanted him to stay in the city, take the civil servant exam, and follow the family path into politics.
Cheng Ruojun was disliked by his mother, yet she stood by his family to please her, helping them pressure him.
At that time, Xu Bingzhi felt deeply betrayed; he realized that Cheng Ruojun didn’t love him but the power behind him.
In a fury, he broke up with Cheng Ruojun.
He felt helpless for a while, compromised with his family and kin, and accepted the fiancée they found for him.
Later, he rebelled, secretly rekindling his relationship with Cheng Ruojun, even with a sense of revenge toward her and the family.
When he got back together with her, his heart softened; he truly loved her then.
But Cheng Ruojun used his most hated tactic—pregnancy.
Xu Bingzhi was selfish; he didn’t care about Cheng Ruojun’s plight or fate, only his lamentable love, thoroughly disgraced and betrayed.
He went abroad, truly cutting off contact with Cheng Ruojun.
Since Xu Bingzhi’s parents always looked down on Cheng Ruojun, now unable to find their son and suspecting Cheng Ruojun was behind it, they severed her hopes of marrying into the Xu Family.
When his anger subsided, he realized what he hated wasn’t Cheng Ruojun but his own helplessness in youth.
He wanted to find her; if she hadn’t married, he would give her everything she wanted.
He would compromise with her.
But what he received was the news of Cheng Ruojun’s death.
Xu Bingzhi was deeply struck; in the following years, he immersed himself fully in his career, almost as if desperate.
As a result, he did achieve significant success and now possessed immense wealth.
Until last year, when his twins were growing up, a thought suddenly struck him: did Cheng Ruojun really not have the child?
Would a woman give up on her future until the last moment?
Especially someone as ruthless as Cheng Ruojun, how could she so easily give up?
With this suspicion, he sent people to investigate discreetly and found Sheng Tang.
