My name is Zhang Wei, I am 40 years old, and I am a staff member who works quietly in an ordinary company. Ten years ago, I chose to plug the door upside down and became the son-in-law of my wife Li Ting's family. At that time, for the sake of love, in order to be with Li Ting, I resolutely walked into this home despite the opposition of my family.
Li Ting's family is well-off, her parents are retired veteran cadres, and I am just a child from an ordinary family. We met in college, and after falling in love, Li Ting's parents didn't quite agree with our relationship, thinking that my family background was not worthy of their daughter. But Li Ting insisted on being with me, and in the end, they put forward one condition: I could be their family's son-in-law.
For the sake of love, I agreed.
After marriage, our lives were quite harmonious. Li Ting is a gentle and virtuous woman, and we soon had a lovely son named Lele. I treat him as my own, although the outside world sometimes looks at me as a rebellious son-in-law, but I don't care, as long as the family is harmonious, everything is worth it.
However, as time went on, I noticed something was wrong. Lele is getting bigger and bigger, but my relationship with him has never felt like a blood connection. I began to wonder if Lele was my biological son.
Once the idea is generated, it never lingers. I began to investigate secretly and gather evidence. Finally, by chance, I discovered the truth: Lele is not my biological son.
That day, I took advantage of Li Ting's absence to secretly take Lele to the hospital for a paternity test. The results showed that my blood relationship with Lele was 0%. I froze where I was, confused, not knowing how to face this harsh reality.
In the evening, Li Ting came home and noticed my abnormality, and she asked me what had happened. I couldn't hide it anymore, so I had to tell her about the results of the paternity test. Li Ting was silent for a while, then looked at me coldly and said, "Do you still want to live?" ”
I was stunned, I didn't expect her to ask me so directly. I had mixed feelings in my mind, and I didn't know how to answer for a while. Li Ting continued: "I know that you have always doubted Lele's background, but now that the truth is revealed, what are you going to do?" ”
I took a deep breath and tried to make my tone sound calm: "I think we need to have a good talk." ”
That night, we talked for a long time. Li Ting told me that Lele was the child of her and her ex-boyfriend, and when she became pregnant, her ex-boyfriend disappeared irresponsibly, and she couldn't face this reality alone, so she chose me and made me Lele's father. She said she loved me, but she couldn't change the facts of the past.
I listened to her and had mixed feelings. I love her, but I can't accept that fact. I felt betrayed and deceived. I don't know how to deal with this sudden truth.
After a night of thinking, I decided to give Li Ting a chance. I told her that I was willing to continue living with her, but that we needed to start over and rebuild trust. I told her that I needed time to adjust to this new reality.
After hearing this, Li Ting hugged me with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, Weiwei." I know I was wrong, and I'll spend the rest of my life trying to make it up to you. ”
And just like that, we decided to give each other a new start. Although I know that there is still a long way to go, I am willing to work hard for the sake of our family and our love.
Now, a few months have passed. The relationship between me and Li Ting gradually returned to its former harmony, and Lele gradually accepted the existence of my "father". Although I know that we will never be as close as father and son, I will do my best to love and care for him.
