You’re Supposed To Be The Villain, But You Effortlessly Win Over The Female Leads?

Chapter 69:

This topic was extremely sensitive, something that couldn’t withstand any scrutiny. In the past, under the guise of love, Jiang Yuan, fueled by hormones, had no desire to delve into it. Later, since he had already married Xiao Xue, he felt there was no need to dwell on the past. But now, things were different.

Now, with his son tearing away the facade and exposing the truth to the world, Jiang Yuan could no longer ignore it. His son had spoken. As a father, he couldn’t remain silent without verifying the truth from all those years ago.

“I remember back then, the nurse on duty wasn’t you. It was a senior nurse, a woman in her fifties. Then, suddenly, you replaced her. If I recall correctly, you were just a rookie at the time. After you started, Xiao Feng’s mother’s condition worsened by the day. Did you have anything to do with it?”

Jiang Yuan’s eyes burned with intensity.

Cold sweat dripped from Xiao Xue’s forehead, and she instinctively took a step back, her guilty conscience betraying her.

“I… Brother Yuan, how could you think that? Back then… my master was unavailable, and they asked me to step in. Her worsening condition had nothing to do with me.” she stammered.

“Is that so?” Jiang Yuan’s gaze pierced through her, his heart turning cold. “Are you sure you want to stick to that story? Or should I go back to the hospital and ask that senior nurse? I still remember her name. It won’t take long to get to the truth.”

“Brother Yuan…” Xiao Xue’s voice trembled.

“Xiao Xue, we’ve been married for 10 years. Do you really think I don’t know you? I know you and Xiao Nan don’t like Xiao Feng. But as long as you treated him decently on the surface, I looked the other way. Even when Xiao Feng begged me to divorce you, I refused. I never thought you and Xiao Nan would treat him so cruelly behind my back.”

Jiang Yuan’s heart ached. He closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh. “We should get a divorce. We made a mistake from the start. I’ve wronged Xiao Feng once, and I can’t let him suffer again.”

His resolute tone sent a chill through Xiao Xue. She instinctively grabbed his arm. “Brother Yuan, please, let me explain. I did have my master switch shifts with me, but it was only so I could stay closer to you. I had no ill intentions. Please, believe me…”

Jiang Yuan looked at her deeply, enunciating every word. “Then tell me the truth. Did Xiao Feng’s mother’s death have anything to do with you? Did you do something?”

Xiao Xue’s face turned ashen, her grip on Jiang Yuan’s arm tightening in panic.

“Aha,” Jiang Yuan exhaled bitterly, seeing the truth in her reaction. “Let’s divorce.”

A few days after the first episode of the show aired, Jiang Yuan posted a long message on his private Weibo account.

“I am Jiang Yuan. I owe my son, Jiang Feng, an apology. I am in the process of divorcing Xiao Xue.”

“I am Jiang Yuan, Jiang Feng’s father. I haven’t been a good father. I love my son, but I failed to fulfill my responsibilities. I always thought Xiao Feng was just going through a rebellious phase, and I didn’t pay enough attention to what he was saying.”

“10 years ago, I met Xiao Xue. At the time, my wife was gravely ill, and I had hired a senior nurse, Sister Chen, to care for her. At first, my wife’s condition stabilized. But then, for some unknown reason, Sister Chen took a sudden leave of absence and recommended her apprentice, Xiao Xue, to take her place.”

“I admit that after my wife passed away, Xiao Xue was there to comfort me. I was vulnerable, and I married her. No matter how much my son protested, I never considered divorce. I thought our family was peaceful and harmonious. But I never expected Xiao Xue and Xiao Nan to treat Xiaofeng so cruelly behind closed doors.”

Jiang Yuan’s post went on, filled with sincerity and regret, explaining everything clearly.

At the end of his long post, he added:

“Son, in the first half of your life, I wasn’t the father you deserved. I’m trying to change that now. You said on the show that I never understood you, and you were right. I’m working hard to make things right. You want to be a professional player, and I’ll support you. For the rest of your life, I want you to know you have a father who stands by your side.”

Jiang Feng had been the talk of the town at the time, so Jiang Yuan’s heartfelt message immediately gained widespread attention. His remorse and guilt as a father were evident, and many emotional fans found themselves moved to tears.
