Chapter 419 - Third Party

Besides, Lin Lu's father raised her without letting others know about her as well. Her father wanted her to live a normal life and not be in the eyes of the media. Hence, her identity was never known before by anyone else other than their family. Then, she left the country after Zhao Mei Xiang drove her out, and she came back as an artist whose artworks worth millions. Hence, no one knew about her being her father's daughter and that she was once Wen Zhan Hua's wife.

Lin Lu laughed when she heard the reporter's question, "Zhao Mei Xiang is not infertile. Definitely not. Me being Ting Ting's mother is definitely not related to Zhao Mei Xiang as well. However, why no one saw me with Ting Ting before has something to do with Zhao Mei Xiang. She is the reason why I am not able to stay by Ting Ting's side."

"Mdm Lin, are you saying that you... you are the...the third party of Mr. Wen and Mdm Zhao's marriage, and that's why... that's why Ting Ting is your child but... but Mdm Zhao is Mr. Wen's husband? Did you... Did you ruined their marriage?"

The reporter tried her best to phrase the questions in the nicest way possible, but it still seemed very insulting. That was why she hesitated when she spoke. She didn't mean to offend anyone, but she didn't know how to phrase the questions in a better way while still getting her point across.

Despite the seemingly insulting words, Lin Lu wasn't at all affected. She didn't feel offended by the questions as she understood why people would think that way. She also knew that the reporter had trouble asking the questions because it sounded offensive. That was why she wasn't angry. She only felt that it was ridiculous that people thought Zhao Mei Xiang was a good person and that people felt that she, Lin Lu, was the bad person.

Lin Lu laughed once again, but this time around the laugh didn't sound genuine, "Zhao Mei Xiang is the third party of my marriage with Wen Zhan Hua. I am the original wife of Wen Zhan Hua. However, Zhao Mei Xiang ruined my marriage and drove me out of Wen's family while she took over my position."

The reporters and others were all stunned by the news that they drew a sharp breath from the shock.

"Mdm Lin, how did you and Mr. Wen know each other? How is it that Mdm Zhao is the third party? When did you get married?"

"My father is the founder of the company Wen Zhan Hua currently owns, Wen's Company. I am sure you guys knew that Wen Zhan Hua isn't the original owner because it was previously known as Lin's company. My father is the founder of Lin's Company, and I believe you guys thought that Wen Zhan Hua got the company from my father because he was capable and was my father's ȧssistant. Well, he was capable, and he was indeed my father's ȧssistant. However, those weren't the only reasons why he got the company. For him to obtain the company, he had to marry me. That was my father's only request from Wen Zhan Hua. If you guys are wondering why my father chose him to marry me, that's because I worked closely with Wen Zhan Hua when he was still my father's ȧssistant. Wen Zhan Hua was the only one that knew about my existence because he was my father's ȧssistant. I didn't go to the company to work because my father raised me to be someone of a very low profile. However, I still worked for the company from home as my father wanted me to inherit the company, and because of that, I often worked with Wen Zhan Hua. We worked very well together, and I really admired Wen Zhan Hua back then because he was handsome and talented. I was very much like other girls in the company that was smitten by him, and I told my father about the matter. My father then approached Wen Zhan Hua and asked him what he thought about me, and Wen Zhan Hua expressed his interest in me as well. My father then urged us to get married because my father was sick and he couldn't live long. That was why we got married quickly, without many people knowing about the matter except for those in my family."

The news stunned everyone once again, and everyone was quiet as they digested the news. Meanwhile, Lin Lu continued to explain her story.

"Actually, when my father wanted me to get married, he wanted me to marry someone capable, who loves me, and we could prosper the company together. He wanted me and Wen Zhan Hua to carry on the company together and not just Wen Zhan Hua alone. However, I was stupid, and I thought that as his wife, I should lighten his burden by taking care of our family. I thought that he loved me a lot and was working hard for our family, so I decided to hand over my shares of the company to him so that he had more control of the company. I thought that that way I could lighten his burden while he worked hard in the company, and I could put more focus on our family and be the wife that he needed. My father and I both thought that Wen Zhan Hua loved me a lot and that he would take care of me for the rest of our life."

Lin Lu looked down briefly as she sighed before she continued again, "However, what Wen Zhan Hua didn't tell my father back then was that he only showed interest in me because he wanted the company. He didn't love me that much. At least not that much for him to want to marry me instantly, and definitely not that much to take care of me for the rest of our life."
