You're more clear-headed, unlike me — just a fool. And unreasonable.

It's not the first time you haven't stood up for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you really cared about me, you should have protected me the moment she moved, not coming out now with hindsight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Meihong gave him a caustic look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words left Boss Bai somewhat embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the standoff between the two,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Fei finally spoke in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two, let's get back to business.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Luo Fei's reminder,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boss Bai took a deep breath,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and patiently explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Luo, I know you might have many questions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I can admit, this child is mine. But it's not Chen Meihong's.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boss Bai's words caused Su Jianfan's mouth to twitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a minute, Boss Bai, my mind's a bit muddled, what did you say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boss Bai didn't deny it, and instead admitted frankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Su, you heard right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said the child isn't mine and Chen Meihong's. It's with another lover of mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At that time, I still had a good relationship with my wife, so I didn't tell Gu Nan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turns out that one of Boss Bai's lovers,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>actually gave birth to this intellectually disabled child and then left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So over the years, it's been Boss Bai, raising the child alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At first, I didn't want to hurt my wife, so I decided to take responsibility for this child and raise it alone.
