Mr. Lu, don't be arrogant.

Chapter 136 Women All Go Through This

This remark caused everyone to fall into silence.

It was Zhou Ninghui herself who broke the silence.

She laughed sadly, "No! They weren't hurt at all. Instead, it was us who couldn't let go, and these ignorant children who were hurt more and more."

"Xue Li, let it go! Let go of the past! Learn to make peace with yourself and start moving towards the future. I've been stuck on this for all these years and it's almost completely destroyed me."

"I was like a psychopath, hiding in my house all day long and not going out. I treated everyone around me like a madman. I imprisoned myself in that small room, punishing myself with those things over and over again, gradually draining all my energy."

"Xue Li, look at me. Do I still look like a human being? You saw me back then, and you know me. I, Zhou Ninghui, wouldn't dare say I'm one of the most outstanding, but in Jiangcheng, I'm considered one of the best, right? But look at me. Do I still have some of the charm I had back then?"

Zhou Ninghui asked Xue Li a question.

Xue Li just looked at her quietly, watching her haggardness, watching her sadness, watching her face and pride eroded by time...

"week……"

Xue Li moved his lips, but eventually fell silent again.

Zhou Ninghui was not in a hurry to speak.

She closed the door to keep the cold wind out, found a stool in front of the stove to sit on, took off her gloves without any precautions, and sat in front of Xue Li to warm herself by the fire.

As she was roasting, she picked up the old conversation again.

"Xue Li, you probably already know what happened later. After Lu Heng and Yuan Moli broke up and married us, they still abided by the rules. Later..."

Zhou Ninghui let out a long sigh from the bottom of her heart.

"Then it was Yuan Moli's brother, the ruthless brother Yuan Zhu, who tricked Yuan Moli and Lu Heng into being together for money. He used the drug to make them have sex, and used it as a threat to make Lu Heng pay a lot of money. Yunfeng... Yunfeng... was born that time."

As if to make Lu Yunfeng hear clearly, Zhou Ninghui raised her voice a little.

But Xue Li suddenly became excited after hearing this.

He growled at Zhou Ninghui, "So what if I know? I hate Yuan Zhu, and I know it was that bastard who was causing all this trouble.

But what about Jasmine and Lu Heng? Are they truly innocent? Don't they want to be together? Are they truly innocent? Aren't they just exploiting the situation?

If they really care about our feelings, if they really don't want to be together, what does it matter even if they were drugged?

Zhou Ninghui, did you see the two children inside? They were injected with the same drug that Jasmine and Lu Heng were injected with back then. Exactly the same drug!

But they would rather pour boiling water on themselves to stay awake than take that step. Why can't Jasmine and Lu Heng do it? Ah! "

All along, Xue Li has been telling himself the same reason as Chinese medicine:

His Jasmine is innocent, his Jasmine is the victim, his Jasmine was deceived and drugged, and she had no choice but to do such a thing.

Until he saw Mu Wanying's firm refusal.

It was not until he saw Mu Wanying pour boiling water on herself without hesitation to stay awake in order to protect her innocence that he realized he could no longer deceive himself.

Yuan Zhu was the trigger for what happened back then, but the real reason lay with Lu Heng and Yuan Moli.

They always had each other in their hearts, and they didn't forget each other even after they broke up and started their own families. The only reason they didn't cheat before was because they couldn't find a reasonable reason or excuse.

Coincidentally, Yuan Zhu sent this excuse over.

It was natural for them to sleep together and have a child.

Xue Li felt a pang of pain in his heart when he thought about it.

After listening to this, Zhou Ninghui thought the same thing.

Listening to Xue Li's doubts and questions, her heart seemed to be fished out of the deep sea again, and was slowly being cut into pieces with a knife again.

But when he heard Mu Wanying and Lu Yunfeng using boiling water to keep himself awake, his heart ached again.

She covered her face with her hands to hide the pain, and didn't let go for a long time.

"So I'm telling you, if you want revenge, go get that bastard Lu Heng! You can hit him, scold him, or even bite off his flesh, and I won't ask.

As for Yuan Moli, you know, she's dead. After learning the whole story, she committed suicide out of shame and anger. We can't hate her anymore!"

When talking about Yuan Moli's death, Zhou Ninghui still couldn't hide a trace of guilt.

Although she hated Yuan Moli for stealing her husband, she hated Yuan Moli for getting pregnant with Lu Heng's child while she was pregnant, and she hated Yuan Moli and Lu Heng's entanglement that caused her to lose her unborn daughter.

But Yuan Moli's death was ultimately related to her.

Even if Yuan Moli's suicide was her own fault and she couldn't bear the pressure of all the rumors, she was the one who dealt Yuan Moli the final blow.

Because it was she who came to the door with those evidences and those hurtful words. It was she who dealt the final blow to Yuan Moli's world which was about to collapse. It was she who invisibly handed Yuan Moli, who already wanted to escape by death, a knife to end her own life.

As soon as she left that day, Yuan Moli committed suicide by cutting her wrists.

Before committing suicide, Yuan Moli wrote a suicide note in which she confessed her sins and begged her to leave the infant Lu Yunfeng to her.

She wanted to refuse, but her conscience was uneasy.

She wanted a divorce, but no one agreed.

Lu Heng's parents didn't want their son to be affected by any public opinion, and they needed a sensible daughter-in-law to support the Lu family.

Her own father needed a lot of money from the Lu family, and he used that money to take care of himself and his brothers and sisters at home, to pave the way for their future. He also held on to the money and refused to give in, saying that if she dared to make trouble, he would no longer recognize her as his daughter.

She begged her mother.

But her mother told her clearly:

Hui'er, don't be too serious. Which man in this world doesn't cheat? Do you think I'm the only woman your father has had for all these years? Do you think he doesn't have illegitimate children outside? Do you think your brothers are loyal to their wives? These men stand on power and money, and women are like fine wine and delicious food, as much as they want, and there are also those sluts who shamelessly cling to them, can you handle it? Child, let this matter go, don't torture yourself with it, and don't lose your position as Mrs. Lu in a moment of impulsiveness. You have to remember, as long as you are still Mrs. Lu, as long as you are still the principal wife, as long as no one can shake your and Chengfeng's position, everything else can be regarded as a fart! This is how women live their lives!

Chapter 137. Marrying the Wrong Person

This is how women live their lives!

Zhou Ninghui always remembered her mother's words.

I have always thought that all women in the world live like this.

For the sake of the children, the family, and the so-called virtue, she swallowed her anger and endured all the grievances alone.

But later I found out, no, that’s not the case.

Not to mention others, even his neighbor Yu Qingya, who lives right next door to him, doesn't live like this.

Except for feeling helpless when facing her little daughter who was given away, Yu Qingya's little face was filled with a confident and happy smile almost every day!

She didn't have to do housework and be a good wife like the other daughters-in-law of the Zhou family.

She also doesn't have to spend as much effort as her wealthy friends in her circle of wives to build so-called social relationships.

In front of her parents-in-law, Jiang Shangru always took care of everything for her. No matter what the two elders of the Jiang family said, Jiang Shangru would stand up for her.

In front of his friends, Jiang Shangru would always say things that praised his wife, and would not allow anyone to say anything bad about Yu Qingya; no matter what mistakes Yu Qingya made or who she offended, Jiang Shangru would help Yu Qingya to make up for it.

In her career, Yu Qingya can, like men, charge forward and shine in her favorite fields.

In order to save Yu Qingya's job and defend her dream, Jiang Shangru decisively gave up the career he had loved for half his life, left the university, and took over the Jiang family business.

Even the trivial matters of taking care of children are taken care of by Jiang Shangru.

As neighbors for so many years, she had never seen Yu Qingya worry about taking care of the children; on the contrary, Jiang Shangru spent time with the children whenever he had time.

Except for the youngest daughter Mu Wanying who was given away at a young age, Jiang Shangru was almost solely responsible for the birth, education, and life arrangements of the other children.

Yu Qingya seems to have only two things in mind in her life:

First, dress yourself beautifully and be confident and happy; second, devote yourself to work and shine in your own field.

Gradually, gradually, Zhou Ninghui slowly understood: women are not always like what her mother said, and they don't live their whole lives like this.

They can actually be happy, they can actually be cheerful, and they can actually live like human beings.

They just married the wrong person!

They simply lost the hands that held them up.

They were just deeply trapped in that kind of family and met that kind of man. They would never have the kind of happy smile that came from the heart that Yu Qingya had again!

But at that time she was still young.

Even if she figured everything out, she couldn't get anyone's support and couldn't bear to leave her own flesh and blood.

She could only keep Lu Yunfeng by her side like swallowing a fly and continue living her broken life.

The past scenes hit Zhou Ninghui's heart like flowing water.

She sighed several times and said to Xue Li, "Xue Li, let it go! Even if you can't let it go, don't hurt these children anymore!"

"I haven't done anything over the years, but I've accumulated a little bit of savings. If you're willing to let go of everything and let these children go, I'm willing to give you half."

When these words were spoken, Xue Li had already raised his head in surprise.

Mu Wanying in the room was also shocked.

Lu Yunfeng, who was clinging to the door, was in tears and kept shouting "Mom" behind the door!

Zhou Ninghui agreed.

For the first time, she responded to Lu Yunfeng's "Mom" sincerely.

It was also the first time that I truly accepted this son from the bottom of my heart.

She sighed again and said to Lu Yunfeng behind the door:

"My child, I'm sorry. It's my mother who has wronged you all these years. I shouldn't have taken revenge on you for the mistakes your parents made. Please forgive me!"

"Mom! No! I have never blamed you! It is me who is sorry for you. It is me who hurt you and made you lose your child!" Lu Yunfeng choked.

Zhou Ninghui shook her head: "How can I blame you? You are just as stupid as Lin Feng, and you only take the blame on yourself. Silly child, Mom said that it was your parents' fault, and it has nothing to do with you."

After saying this, Zhou Ninghui continued to persuade Xue Li, who had already wavered.

"Xue Li, you're not old yet. Although my money isn't much, it's an astronomical sum that an average person wouldn't be able to earn in several lifetimes. Take that money and live your life."

"I've been thinking a lot lately, and I've finally figured it out. I don't want to be Mrs. Lu anymore, who disgusts me every day.

When this matter is settled, I will divorce Lu Heng and stay away from him. I will look forward to it, just like Wan Ying said! I will use the rest of my life to live a glorious life for myself!

"Xue Li, I hope the same thing happens to you. You can completely move on from the past, and you can completely move on from that failed marriage that I had. Don't punish yourself for the mistakes of others, okay?"

She looked at Xue Li with an earnest expression.

It's persuasion.

In fact, it is also guiding.

Guiding Xue Li is also guiding yourself.

Gradually, gradually, Xue Li looked at her and nodded heavily.

"Zhou Ninghui, thank you for all your consideration for me, and thank you for taking the trouble to come and say these words to me. You can let it go, I..."

Xue Li shook his head in shame. "I'm not even as good as a woman like you! How ridiculous! How ridiculous!"

"You're not inferior to anyone, and you haven't hurt anyone. Xue Li, you have to remember that you're fine too. You just haven't gotten over that painful entanglement. But the past is gone, so why not let it go with the wind?"

Zhou Ninghui calmly gave Xue Li affirmation.

Xue Li smiled bitterly again.

He scratched his hair, looked at Zhou Ninghui's haggard face and said:

"Okay, I'll listen to you! I won't bother with these kids anymore. I'll let them go. I'll pursue my own life, just like you."

As he spoke, Xue Li turned around and walked slowly towards the door.

As he walked, he said, "Zhou Ninghui, that bastard Lu Heng is so blind! He married such a good wife, but he didn't know how to cherish her and kept having affairs outside again and again. And the children they had were all filial and excellent! The fates of these people are really different!"

Zhou Ninghui smiled faintly.

No comments were expressed.

Xue Li said no more and quickened his pace.

Mu Wanying, who was watching from the crack of the door in the room, took a look through the gap and finally felt relieved.

She leaned her body against the wooden wall with ease and was about to take a deep breath when she unexpectedly discovered that a man with a mask covering his face but holding a wrench in his hand appeared behind Zhou Ninghui.

The wrench was heading towards the back of Zhou Ninghui's head.
