“I apologize. I didn’t mean to look into you. I just didn’t want to give up. After all… I was hoping that it wasn’t true.” The woman did not try to hide her bitter smile in front of Shu Yan. “Why do you think men are like that? Did I not treat him nice enough?”
“That’s because he doesn’t love you. He took everything you’ve done for him for granted,” Shu Yan replied.
The woman paused for a second. As though she was both smiling and crying at the same time, she mumbled, “Yes, you are right. He doesn’t love me.”
“What should I call you? I am Shu Yan.” Shu Yan changed the subject.“Oh, pardon me. Let me introduce myself. My name is Hu Ruixue. I have learned of your story. I can share mine to make up to you.”
Shu Yan, “……”
Hu Ruixue was the one who needed a listener, but somehow, she was able to find such a reason to justify it. That being said, the woman in front of her looked like she was about to have a nervous breakdown any given minute. Shu Yan supposed she could spare a few minutes to listen to her story.
They attended the same college and met at a social event. Hu Ruixue, who had never done any real work before, made a lot of mistakes, and Zhang Baizong helped her out enthusiastically. Hu Ruixue, who hasn’t been in contact with a lot of men before that, fell for Zhang Baizong, and the two of them became a couple. When they graduated from college, she happily introduced Zhang Baizong to her family but was met with strong objection.
She fought with her family in many ways. When she resorted to hunger strike, she finally got her way and was able to marry Zhang Baizong. The two were very lovey dovey after they were wedded and gave birth to a little girl shortly thereafter. A year ago, she discovered the affair between her husband and the little nanny and was completely shocked. She almost had a breakdown after she kicked Le out.
This was the man whom she had to fight her entire family to marry, and he had betrayed her after just a few years.
“It was like torture the last couple of years. I kept telling myself that this was my decision and I will see it to the end no matter what. But then I saw what you have done. Suddenly, it all became clear to me. I stopped loving him a long time ago. I was only staying with him because I had given up so much to be with him, and I couldn’t accept that it was already over. I even learned the photo trick from you. It felt so good to throw the pictures onto them. HAHAHAHAHA…”Shu Yan looked at Hu Ruixue. She was laughing so hard that she was rocking back and forth. Shu Yan was a little bit worried. She hasn’t gone crazy yet, has she?
“I haven’t gone crazy. It was truly a great feeling,” said Hu Ruixue while looking at Shu Yan with her eyes sparkling. “I sent people to distribute the pictures to Le and Zhang Baizong’s hometowns, so they, too, can learn of their amazing achievements. I didn’t see it with my own eyes, but I am sure it stirred up a lot of ruckus. They must be proud the next time they visit their hometowns.”
Shu Yan, “……”
“He even wanted to fight me for custody of my daughter. Did he even stop to think about how he became so successful today? If the Hu’s can give him that, we can also take everything back. Coincidentally, Zhang Baizong has a clothing factory. He wasn’t half bad and was able to turn the small-scale business to the size it is today. Now the factory belongs to me. You have a clothing shop, so we are kind of in the same field.”
“Well, that’s awesome.” Shu Yan felt that Hu Ruixue’s problem was that she was too overprotected by her family, which caused her to fall for Zhang Baizong too easily. She even suspected that Zhang Baizong had planned it all along. How else would there be so many coincidences? This wasn’t a TV show.
“I don’t know much in this field. I might be reaching out to you for help.” Hu Ruixue looked like she had recovered a lot from earlier.
Shu Yan’s divorce wasn’t a bad thing, thought Hu Ruixue after looking at Shu Yan. She had a lot of respect for Shu Yan. A woman, who had never been to school learned that her husband was a lost cause, decided right away to take everything that he has, faceslapped the mistress, and started her own business while taking care of her two children. All things considered, Hu Ruixue had it much better.
