My Son is a Transmigrated Prince

Chapter 21

Song Haiping was truly dumbstruck. One reason was the slap, and the second was the vicious1 scolding.

When he could finally react, he looked at Chen Linjing in disbelief. “What the hell are you talking about, ah!”

He had no idea about the whirlwind of rumors2 at the company–the employees naturally wouldn’t bring up gossip in front of the main subject. The relatives of the Song family had wanted to warn Song Haiping, but seeing that he was determined to recognize that child, they all dropped the idea.

Song Haiping’s reputation in the Song family was not very good. The cheating affair alone was considered a big stain on his life.

If nothing else, Chen Linjing had a very good relationship with the Song family. Both Grandpa Song and Grandma Song liked this daughter-in-law very much. Even after her divorce from Song Haiping, it was Chen Linjing who had helped out when Grandma Song had an operation one year.

At that time, many people joked about Song Haiping, saying that he had an affair and also didn’t know how to cover his tracks, and that he divorced because of a woman outside–how very capable.

In many men’s minds, it wasn’t a big deal to have an affair–wasn’t it a mistake that men all over the world made? But to divorce with the original spouse because of it? That was stupidity on top of stupidity. Who didn’t know that Song Haiping was dirt-poor when he was young? He and Chen Linjing could be considered a couple who had borne hardships together. It was a pity to divorce just like this.

After the divorce, Song Haiping let himself go wild–changing girlfriends twice in three days, as if to make the image of a ‘successful boss’ a reality. His private life was truly debauched, so it came to no surprise that he had an illegitimate child.

Chen Linjing looked at the person in front of her and was disgusted enough to retch. “Hurry up and take that son of yours and leave!”

“What, my child? When did I have a child and why didn’t I know?” Just when Song Haiping finished speaking, he realized that he had missed the point. “No, how did I get sidetracked–that’s not even my son! That’s your grandson!”

Chen Linjing wanted to slap him again, but just as she raised her hand, it was grabbed by Song Haiping.

A man’s strength was still greater, after all. Song Haiping said, his teeth gnashing in anger: “What I’m saying is true. I don’t hit women, especially since you’re my child’s mother, but if you provoke me like this again without asking about the truth behind the matter, don’t blame me for having a bad temper.”

Song Haiping threw her hand aside and returned to the house with a calm and collected expression.

Chen Linjing’s anger morphed into confusion. She and Song Haiping were university classmates–their understanding of the other’s temper couldn’t be clearer.

Why didn’t she heed others’ advice to block her daughter from staying in touch with him, ne? First, no matter what disgusting thing Song Haiping did, he was still Yuanyuan’s father–their father-daughter blood relation couldn’t be changed. Even if they had divorced, he still had the responsibility of being a father. Second, Song Haiping was simply not human3–it was not exaggerated to say he was not a man–but he had his good points; he was truly very good to Yuanyuan.
