"Young Friend Xu, your fifth wife is also a career-minded woman."
"She doesnât mind the idea of having children."
"But she doesnât like your obsession with children."
"Because she doesnât want to be a child-bearing tool."
"And you, in order to give her time to help you have children, voluntarily transferred her to a laid-back department."
"But all of this became the catalyst for your divorce!"
"As a woman with career ambitions, how could she possibly be willing to be transferred to a laid-back department, essentially retiring early?"
"She expressed unprecedented anger at your actions."
"So she proactively filed for divorce."
"Despite your futile attempts to persuade her, you eventually went with her to get the divorce certificate."
"After the divorce, she resigned from your company and took her pair of twins to the south..."
Lu Heng recounted the reasons for Xu Jieâs fifth wifeâs divorce in a calm and deliberate manner.
Xu Jie was already completely numb after listening.
Up to this fifth wife, there were only four children so far.
Next, there were seven more children waiting to become his stepchildren!
Based on the calculation of one wife and two children in the future, he would need to marry at least three more times!
Compared to his silence, the online viewers became more and more excited and agitated.
"Indeed, truly worthy of being the âInnate Divorce Saint,â divorced yet again!"
"Iâm already crying with jealousy, even if I get just one!"
"Fine, Iâll give you that previous XXN."
"Forget it, better to stay single!"
"The XXN who insists on controlling money for security, truly terrifying!"
"I bet, Brother Xu will have to marry three or four more times!"
"Honestly, Old Xu is really stubborn, who starts by asking someone to have twins?"
"This fifth wife is very smart, divorced from her previous husband who had a gambling habit! And she left Old Xu who tried to treat her as a child-bearing tool!"
"Such a woman is great, Iâd like her contact details."
"Brother Xu, havenât you woken up yet? Why not recognize me as your adopted son, and after you pass away, leave me a little inheritance goal!"
"Whoa, youâre really bold! Then I also want to be that little goalâs adopted son!"
"Brother Xu, I... Iâm different from them! Iâm a woman, I want to be your adopted daughter."
"You bunch of scoundrels, truly blinded by money! My parents passed away early, Iâm willing to serve Brother Xu till the end!"
"Good heavens! Letâs change our live broadcast room to the adopted sons live room!"
"Great great great! Letâs first gather the Four Heavenly Kings, then Five Tiger Generals, and then Seven Stars Gathering."
"Thereâs also Thirteen Taibao, and Eighteen Arhats!"
"With so many viewers in our live room, letâs count Thirty-six Celestial Mansions and Seventy-two Earthly Fiends..."
Looking at the viewers in the live room eagerly wanting to be his adopted sons and daughters, Xu Jie felt a mix of laughter and tears.
His previously depressed mood was actually much improved at this moment.
Afterwards, he gently shook his head and said, "I appreciate everyoneâs kindness."
"But I really have no interest in having adopted sons and daughters."
"Of course, those who come to Old Daoistâs live room are considered my friends."
"In the future, if anyone faces difficulties, you can seek help from me."
"If you come to my city, Iâll treat you to good food and drink..."
After saying a few words to the viewers, he turned his gaze back to Lu Heng on the computer screen.
"Old Daoist, I already understand."
"Are those eleven future children all brought by others before marriage?"
"Is it really so difficult to have a child that is truly mine?"
Xu Jie hung his head in disappointment.
Lu Heng saw his expression and knew that this Boss Xu was close to depression.
Originally, he was going to talk about Xuâs sixth, seventh, and eighth ex-wives.
The stories of these next three were even more spectacular than before.
Not only did they involve bringing children and getting divorced, but also unmarried pregnancy and widowed due to husbandâs death.
And none of these three were easy to handle.
Before being taken in by Xu Jie, each was adept at acting.
And after being taken home?
Goodness gracious!
Completely made Xu Jie run around like a headless chicken.
But looking at Xu Jieâs melancholy state now, saying it all may risk giving Boss Xu depression.
Thinking about the viewersâ psychological health, he decided not to continue.
"Alas! I always care about others..."
"I am truly too kind!"
Lu Heng couldnât help but sigh inwardly.
Then he spoke to comfort, "Young Friend Xu, need not be too sad!"
"Actually, among your future eleven children, only ten are stepchildren..."
Hearing this, the previously disheartened Xu Jie suddenly froze.
But soon, he snapped back with an excited expression on his face.
"Old Daoist, could it be that in the future I can really have a child of my own?"
He was so excited that even his voice started to tremble.
"No!"
However, just as Xu Jie was filled with hopeful eyes, Lu Heng gently shook his head.
This shake of the head left Xu Jie confused.
Whatâs going on here?
He tried to piece together Lu Hengâs words again.
In the future, he would have eleven children.
He originally thought these eleven children would all be children his future wife already had before marrying him.
This is commonly known as stepchildren.
But just now, Old Daoist told him among the future eleven children, only ten are stepchildren...
If thatâs the case, wouldnât the last one be his biological child in the future?
But why did Old Daoist shake his head and say "No"?
Xu Jie puzzled and puzzled, only made himself even more confused.
Viewers also showed bewildered expressions.
"Old Daoist, whatâs going on?"
"Eleven children, ten are stepchildren, so the eleventh isnât Brother Xuâs future biological child?"
"Thatâs right, that logic doesnât have any problems!"
"But Old Daoist shook his head and denied it!"
"Let me think carefully, if among the eleven children, ten are stepchildren, but the last one isnât his own, what is this? Schrödingerâs son?"
"666666! Old Daoist really knows how to play!"
"I feel like my CPU is about to burn up!"
"Old Daoist, please clear up our confusion!"
"Yes, Old Daoist, please explain! My curiosity is about to peel the wall!"
"Hahaha! Brother Xuâs reaction was really amusing, first excitement and then, after Old Daoist shook his head, a look of self-questioning."
"Old Daoist always loves suspense, love it love it!"
"If the eleventh truly is Old Xuâs own child, then how do I even recognize an adoptive father?"
"Boohoo... My yet-to-be-received little goal is already gone..."
