Although Mr. Zhang was hesitant, he obediently followed her to the corridor.
Old Madam Zhang asked, "What about after the divorce? What do you plan to do?"
She didn't object immediately, instead only asking his plans if he divorced.
"I'll talk about it after the divorce," Mr. Zhang said emotionally.
She said, "Son, Huanhuan's identity hasn't been made public yet. If you divorce your wife for a maid, what will the outsiders say? Not to mention the freedom of speech on the internet now."
He frowned.
She continued, "If you were just anyone, no one would care. However, your brother is a deputy chief."
He looked dissatisfied.
She went on, "If Huanhuan's identity is made public, there will be more gossip. It's wrong for a wife to hit a child, but will an illegitimate daughter be seen as a good person? You want to divorce your first wife for an illegitimate daughter; can you bear the consequences of public opinion?"
