Chapter 666 Good Intentions

After Lin Qing finished speaking, two assassins carrying two little flowers walked up to him.

Sheng Lan and Liu Rushi went crazy, trying to rush over to save their son.

"Husband! Save our son!" the two babies cried out to Wang Wenzhou in unison.

Wang Wenzhou felt utterly drained. He truly didn't know how to choose between these two little girls. Both of their mothers were Wang Wenzhou's most beloved children, and choosing either one would inevitably hurt the other.

"Cough cough cough..." At this moment, Zhang Zhiji coughed a few times, stood up and said, "Boxin! Listen to this old man, Zhang Xiaohua is your eldest son..."

Before Zhang Zhiji could finish speaking, Liu Rushi said loudly, "Lord Zhang, this is our family matter, please don't interfere!"

Zhang Zhiji was somewhat angry. He said irritably, "How can a woman like you make such a big decision?"

“Wang Wenzhou!” Liu Rushi looked at Wang Wenzhou.

Wang Wenzhou quickly said, "Father-in-law, please don't cause me any trouble! I'm already a dead man, please let me pass away peacefully!"

"Sigh..." Zhang Zhiji sighed and shook his head helplessly. Since Wang Wenzhou had already said so, he was too embarrassed to say anything more. He was still very satisfied with Wang Wenzhou as his son-in-law; although Wang Wenzhou had a bad reputation, he was still a man of exceptional talent.

Lin Qing looked at Wang Wenzhou and asked with a smile, "Wang the Fool, stop dawdling and hurry up. Which of these two sons do you choose?"

"Wang Wenzhou!" Sheng Lan and Liu Rushi, the two babies, called out Wang Wenzhou in unison, their eyes falling on him at the same time.

Wang Wenzhou shook his head with a wry smile. For him, this choice was definitely more difficult than deciding which one to save first if his girlfriend and mother both fell into the water at the same time.

"Wang Shazi, hurry up and say something! Which one do you choose?" Lin Qing asked with a smile.

“Wang Wenzhou, Zhang Xiaohua is Zhang Shifang’s biological son. Zhang Shifang died to save you! Moreover, Zhang Xiaohua is your eldest son. There is an order of seniority. No matter what, you have to choose Zhang Xiaohua!” Sheng Lan said with tears in her eyes, “Wang Wenzhou, you choose Zhang Xiaohua, and then I will die to save Liu Rushi from living!”

Most mothers are willing to die for their children. Although Zhang Xiaohua is not Sheng Lan's biological child, Sheng Lan has raised her single-handedly all along. It can be said that Sheng Lan, as her adoptive mother, is no different from her biological mother.

Upon hearing this, Liu Rushi immediately said, "Wang Wenzhou, I'll die for Sheng Lan's life, you choose Liu Xiaohua!"

Liu Rushi understood that in her enemy's heart, she and Sheng Lan held equally important positions. If she were to shamelessly ask Wang Wenzhou to choose both Liu Xiaohua and her, she feared he would dislike her because of it. Therefore, she chose to die in exchange for her son Liu Xiaohua's life.

Wang Wenzhou looked at Sheng Lan baby, then at Liu Rushi baby; he couldn't bear to give up either of them.

Lin Qing urged, "Wang Shazi, hurry up! If you keep dawdling, I'm going to kill both of your little bastards!"

Wang Wenzhou thought for a moment, looked at his two babies, and said with a wry smile, "Lanlan, Ruru, you are both my most beloved babies, and your sons are also my most beloved sons. You must understand that no matter what choice I make, I will be in great pain!"

Sheng Lan and Liu Rushi silently watched Wang Wenzhou. The two children understood that Wang Wenzhou's final choice meant who among them ranked first in his heart. At this point, nothing they said would make a difference. Both children hoped that their nemesis would choose their son.

Wang Wenzhou thought for a moment and then said, "Ruru, don't be angry with me. Actually, I really wanted to choose Liu Xiaohua. But Ugly Girl died to save me, and Zhang Rong and her son are both dead. Even without Lan Lan, I have to choose Zhang Xiaohua for their sake!"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Lan's eyes welled up with tears of emotion. "Wang Wenzhou, thank you!"

Wang Wenzhou wiped away his tears, looked at Sheng Lan, and said tenderly, "Lazy Lan, lazy Lan, let's be husband and wife again in the next life, and I will definitely make you cry every day!"

"Yes!" Sheng Lan nodded, finally relieved. She didn't care about her own death; the greatest comfort for her was that her son, Zhang Xiaohua, could live.

Upon hearing this, Liu Rushi glared angrily at Wang Wenzhou and scolded him, "Wang Wenzhou, you damned liar! You don't love me!"

Wang Wenzhou hurriedly said, "Ruru, Ruru, listen to me. It's better to live a miserable life than to die. If you can live, I can die in peace. I know that my choice will cause you a lot of pain. But you have to think of it this way: since I'm going to die anyway, what about you? Find a handsome guy to marry, let him sleep with you every day, and you can have a few more sons. As long as you can be happy, I can die in peace!"

Wang Wenzhou made this choice after considering many factors. In truth, of all his children, he loved Liu Rushi the most. If he didn't love her, why would he have knelt down in fear at her angry roar? If he didn't love her, why would he have allowed her to slap him repeatedly?

Liu Rushi didn't see it that way. Wang Wenzhou's words were clearly what men say when breaking up. Liu Rushi burst into tears, pointing at Wang Wenzhou and roaring, "Wang Wenzhou, you damned liar! You kept saying you loved me, but you just wanted to sleep with me!"

"Ruru, I'm sorry!" Wang Wenzhou quickly apologized.

After Wang Wenzhou apologized, Liu Rushi felt even more that Wang Wenzhou no longer loved her.

In fact, Wang Wenzhou had already considered Liu Rushi's reaction, and this was the effect he wanted. The reason he didn't choose Liu Xiaohua, besides the reasons he had stated, was also because he loved Liu Rushi and understood her well.

If Liu Xiaohua and Liu Rushi had survived, given Liu Rushi's personality, she would definitely have sought revenge against Zhu Youjian. Moreover, after his death, Liu Rushi would have had the ability to command the forces in Hanshan.

Although Hanshan is very powerful, Wang Wenzhou estimates that with its current strength, it's simply no match for Zhu Youjian. In that case, Liu Rushi and Liu Xiaohua will ultimately be killed by Zhu Youjian.

But if Wang Wenzhou chose Zhang Xiaohua, the situation would be completely different. Even if Liu Ru refused to raise Zhang Xiaohua out of anger, there was still the Duke of Ying's mansion. Zhang Zhiji's grandson also held the title of Earl of Xinjian, so the Duke of Ying's mansion would certainly not mistreat Zhang Xiaohua.

Because Liu Rushi hates him, she won't seek revenge on Zhu Youjian. Instead, out of love turned to hate, she'll cheat on him and sleep with other men.

As for Wang Wenzhou, since he's already dead, so be it if he gets cuckolded. If you truly love someone and can make her happy, even if she hates you, you'll feel at peace.

Wang Wenzhou's efforts were truly commendable. If it weren't for today's situation, he wouldn't have known how much he loved Liu Rushi.

Liu Rushi glared fiercely at Wang Wenzhou and said angrily, "Wang Wenzhou, I'll die right now!"
