Chapter 128: Covering up a Family Matter

"Dad knows?" Pan Yun asked.

"You are your father's biological daughter, of course your father knows that." Mrs. Pan glanced at Shi Nan.

If Pan Yun wanted to continue living with Shi Nan, she could just let her father talk to Shi Nan and let the matter go. If Pan Yun insisted on making such a fuss, her life would be difficult.

There are ways to live a life without divorce, and there are ways to live a life of divorce.

"That's all in the past. I won't make the same mistake again." Shi Nan said.

"You really won't make the same mistake again?" Pan Yun asked, "Are you kidding me?"

"No." Shi Nan said, "Do you want me to swear?"

"Forget it," Pan Yun said. "Oaths are unreliable."

Pan Yun didn't believe in oaths that much. Whether they were kept or not wasn't very important. Pan Yun looked at Shi Nan. She hadn't told him about her visit to Jiang Moli. After all, she hadn't met Jiang Moli in person, and Jiang Moli's people wouldn't tell Shi Nan. Even if Shi Nan knew, Pan Yun wasn't afraid.

Shi Nan did not ask Pan Yun much, but Mrs. Pan asked Pan Yun after dinner. Shi Nan went to the study to handle official business, and Mrs. Pan and Pan Yun went to another room.

"Where have you been?" Mrs. Pan asked, "Did you go to see Jiang Moli?"

"Yes, I went to look for her, but I didn't see her. I saw her man instead." Pan Yun was irritated. "He had a cold face and looked very unhappy. He..."

"He doesn't need to give you face, nor does he need to give face to our Pan family." Madam Pan said. She reached out and poked Pan Yun's forehead. "What on earth are you thinking? Why are you thinking of looking for Jiang Moli?"

"Shi Nan can't forget her." Pan Yun said, "After so many years, he still can't forget her."

"Men are like that. If they can't have it, they just can't forget it." Madam Pan said, "If you want to be with Shi Nan, don't think about these things, and don't go looking for Jiang Moli. Jiang Moli hasn't even come to you and your wife. You are causing her trouble by doing this."

Mrs. Pan couldn't be so blind to this. It was Shi Nan's confession to Jiang Moli that failed. Jiang Moli was already married and had children. Jiang Moli was living such a good life, so why should she care about Shi Nan's affairs?

"You don't have to worry about being laughed at if you go there," said Mrs. Pan.

"That's because of Shi Nan..."

"If you want to talk about something, talk about Shi Nan, don't talk about anyone else." Mrs. Pan said, "If you talk about Jiang Moli, people will just think you have a problem with your brain. There are so many people who like Jiang Moli. She is so famous, and so many wealthy bosses like her. You will know if you go to her performance. There are so many people watching, and the seats are always full. Someone like her, how can she care who likes her?"

Mrs. Pan thought that if everyone else had to argue with Jiang Moli, how could she develop her career? The same goes for others. If they couldn't appear on stage just because someone liked them, how many people would be on stage? Would the audience still listen to them perform?

"Mom, I feel uncomfortable." Pan Yun said, "How could Shi Nan do such a thing?"

Pan Yun knew that when she thought about Ji Shiyu, she was very sad.

"If you want, you can be with other men," said Mrs. Pan.

"..." Pan Yun looked at her mother. She didn't expect her mother to say such a thing.

"As long as you want, then it's fine." Madam Pan said, "He wronged you first, you..."

"No, I can't do that." Pan Yun said.

"If you don't want to do it, then don't do it," said Mrs. Pan. "I'm just telling you this so you know what's going on. Don't blindly blame others. If they're truly at fault, that's fine. But if you still get involved when they're not, you're just making a fool of yourself."

The next night, Shi Nan and Pan Yun went to Pan's house together. Mrs. Pan had already told Pan's father about it, and Pan's father understood what was going on.

"If you don't like our Yunyun, you can get a divorce." Father Pan said directly to Shi Nan, "If our family can help you, we can help others."

Mr. Pan said these words bluntly. If Mrs. Pan had said them, they might not have had such strong impact. Mrs. Pan asked Mr. Pan to consider Pan Yun's happiness more and not to take Shi Nan's lover lightly.

Mrs. Pan knew these men's psychology too well. When she told her husband about it, he thought it was not a big deal. Mrs. Pan said a few more words and asked Pan's father to think more about Pan Yun. After all, Pan Yun was Pan's father's daughter who had been loved and spoiled for many years. Naturally, Pan's father did not want to see his daughter get into an accident.

"Remember this," Pan's father said. "You're still young, not my age yet. When you get there, you'll know that some things have a price tag. If you don't want them, someone else will."

"Yes." Shi Nan replied. In front of Pan's father, Shi Nan didn't dare to say that what happened was an accident, nor did he explain a lot. Shi Nan knew that Pan's father would not listen to his explanation. Pan's father only wanted to see the results.

"If Yunyun hadn't looked at you, you would have been fired from our company long ago," Pan's father said, "you wouldn't be where you are now."

After Shi Nan left the Pan family company, she used the Pan family's connections. Pan's father admired Shi Nan, but that didn't mean he wanted to see his daughter suffer. Pan's father could find another woman outside, but his son-in-law still had to take good care of his daughter.

After Erya ran away, Daya would sometimes stare blankly at the door, wondering if Erya would come back again. Daya's mood was a bit complicated. On the one hand, she didn't want Erya to come back and suffer, but on the other hand, she thought that Erya should come home as soon as possible.

Daya was always scolded, and she would either bow her head or remain silent. If she spoke less, perhaps her mother would say less to her. Daya did not resist Miao Guifeng. When Miao Guifeng spoke, Daya listened.

Daya's brother's grades are not very good. When Yang Tianlang is reading at home, he would say that Daya speaks too loudly.

"Can you be quiet?" Yang Tianlang came out of the room. "Do you know how noisy you are?"

"I'll clean it up and it will be done soon." Daya said, "Your room needs cleaning too."

"Can't you be quick? Don't you know how to clean when I'm not home?" Yang Tianlang said, "You have to clean when I'm home."

There is a computer in Yang Tianlang's room, which was bought by Miao Guifeng for him. Miao Guifeng thought that if others have computers, then her son must have one too. She can't let her son lose to others and can't let her son think that she is not good enough.

"It will be fine soon." Daya still said the same thing.

As a brother, Yang Tianlang never thought about speaking up for his sister, nor did he think about asking her to do less. Yang Tianlang only knew that he had to live a good life. His parents always said so, saying that as long as he lived a good life, it was more important than anything else.

Daya doesn't expect her brother Yang Tianlang to help her. Her brother would never be able to help her.

"Hurry up!" Yang Tianlang said impatiently.

Da Ya dropped out of school, Er Ya also dropped out of school, San Ya is still studying, so she didn't drop out of school. San Ya is the youngest, and Miao Guifeng and his wife rarely say anything about her. San Ya grew up with Miao Guifeng and his wife, and Miao Guifeng and his wife would rather say a few more words to Da Ya than to San Ya. Miao Guifeng and his wife feel that if they say too much about San Ya, it means that they didn't teach her well. Da Ya and Er Ya grew up in the countryside for a few years when they were young. Miao Guifeng and his wife can still tell themselves that it was Da Ya and Er Ya who didn't learn well in the countryside.

The matter of Shi Nan keeping a mistress was over in a flash.

The incident became so serious that even the people on the street knew about it. They all thought that appearances were not the best guide for Shi Nan to have a mistress. It was true that Shi Nan had been with one woman after another before, and now that he had money, he might have gone to find another woman instead of sticking with one.

When Niu Cuihua heard those words, she just felt that Shi Nan was not a good person. Even a person like Shi Nan had the nerve to say that he liked Jiang Moli. Where did this person get such a big face?

The news that Shi Nan's lover looked similar to Jiang Moli also spread. Those people had never seen Ji Shiyu, but they just spoke out.

Aunt Zhao said bluntly in front of Shi's mother, "You shouldn't have said anything about Jasmine in the first place, and you shouldn't have stopped your Shi Nan. If your Shi Nan liked Jasmine, let them be together, and you would have had a grandson by now."

"They're not a good match." Shi's mother said with a cold face. Why did these people say such things? "Jiang Moli is too picky..."

"Your family is so arrogant, aren't they?" Aunt Zhao said. "Do you really think we don't know? We're not all dead yet. You didn't want your son to be with Jiang Moli, nor did you want your son to be with someone from our neighborhood. Have you forgotten?"

“…” Of course, Shi Mu did not forget.

"It's a good thing that Jasmine is not with your Shi Nan, so that your Shi Nan won't not know how to cherish her and will just look for a lover outside." Aunt Zhao said.

Shi's mother was unhappy, but her son was really looking for another woman outside, and she even wanted to find a young and fertile woman for her son. But now that so many people knew about it, Shi's mother was a little embarrassed.

"Maybe Jiang Moli's man is also looking for a lover outside." Shi's mother said.

"Your own son is not good, yet you say others are not good either." Aunt Zhao said.

Jiang Moli hadn't been to this street before, so she didn't know what these people were talking about. Jiang Moli went to work and had several performances recently. Zhou Yiran came to visit Xiaobaihua, and she came to find Jiang Moli.

The two of them sat in the cafeteria to eat, and Zhou Yiran sighed, "I'm going to transfer to an administrative position."

"So soon?" Jiang Moli asked. She thought Zhou Yiran was still young and could continue singing. "Don't we have to wait a few more years?"

"If there's a chance, I'll switch to an administrative position and not wait any longer," Zhou Yiran said. "I don't play very important roles in opera, so someone else could be in my place. My mom is about to retire, and I have to switch before she does."

Zhou Yiran needed to arrange things properly. Her mother had already delayed her retirement, and she couldn't keep delaying it. With her mother's support at work, Zhou Yiran could get by better. If her mother retired, there would still be people she knew at work, but they would be forgotten. Zhou Yiran would transfer to an administrative position sooner rather than later. The salary was good, and she would have more time to spend with her family.

Zhou Yiran herself is not the kind of person who has to make something out of her career. What she wants more is a smooth transition in her career and a stable salary.

"I've thought about changing jobs later, but the good ones won't be available anytime soon," Zhou Yiran said. "If there's a suitable one, I'll take it. I've been working in the company for many years, so this position could be a bit higher."

The most important thing was that it would be easier, and the salary difference wouldn't be that big. Zhou Yiran had already thought it through. She was older than Jiang Moli, so it wouldn't be a bad idea for her to switch jobs sooner. There were so many young people chasing after her, and if she switched jobs, she wouldn't have to worry about being replaced by the younger ones.

Zhou Yaran didn't want to continue singing the old woman's role, so she decided to step down early and let someone else take over. With so many people in their unit, they didn't need someone like Zhou Yaran to sing. Not everyone could switch to an administrative position. Zhou Yaran had her mother by her side, and her own performance was decent, so the unit allowed her to transfer at this time.

"If I were you, I wouldn't change jobs and still be prosperous." Zhou Yiran said, "But now, I can't be prosperous at all, and I don't feel warm either. I just feel the temperature keeps dropping and it's freezing. Instead of this, I might as well do administrative work."

"That's fine, as long as you think it through." Jiang Moli said, "It doesn't matter whether you continue to be on stage or not. As long as you live a comfortable life, that's fine."

"Yeah." Zhou Yiran sighed. "As for me, I've always played unimportant roles. I can't handle a serious role. I've been singing for so many years, it's time to think about the future. I haven't acted in TV dramas or movies, so I have to stay in the company for a long time. Sooner or later, I have to change jobs."

"As long as you think it through, there will be no problem." Jiang Moli said.

"Won't you persuade me to continue acting for a few more years?" Zhou Yiran raised her eyebrows.

"Only you know the pros and cons of this matter," Jiang Moli said. "I still have to act for a few more years. I can't quit now."

"Of course, you're still so popular now." Zhou Yiran said, "If you're still so popular at forty, shouldn't you keep acting?"

"I guess we can only perform until we're in our forties," Jiang Moli said. "There are still some movements on stage that we can't do. It's just that it might be better with a younger audience."

Many operas feature young people, so it would be difficult for Jiang Moli to continue performing.

"I've thought about it. When I'm in my forties, I'll act in TV dramas and movies. I can play a mother or a mother-in-law," Jiang Moli said.

Jiang Moli also evaluated the title of actor. She considered things more carefully. Although the title would not make Jiang Moli's salary higher when she went to the crew to act, Jiang Moli's salary and other things in the unit would still be better.

"You don't have to go into administration. Just keep acting," Zhou Yiran said. "If I were as capable as you, I'd do the same. It's just that I don't have that much ability, and I had no other choice, so I switched to administration. My mom also asked me if I'd thought it through, and I said, I had. I'll switch when the time is right. If there's a suitable opportunity, why not? Don't you think acting isn't tiring?"

"Yes, I'm tired." Jiang Moli nodded. "You can get tired no matter what you do."

"I'm not particularly outstanding. If I were, I might even become a school teacher," Zhou Yiran said. "The key is that I'm just that ordinary. If I were to do some private work, I'd probably just run a small class to teach children. He Jingxian's adopted daughter studied in that small class, with the teacher teaching several children at the same time. I heard that He Jingxian's adopted daughter can sing quite well."

"Learn more." Jiang Moli said, "As an orphan, she was finally adopted, and her adoptive parents want her to learn opera singing. Naturally, she has to perform better."

"Yeah." Zhou Yiran said, "That's right. If she doesn't behave well, He Jingxian will definitely say something. He Jingxian's ex-husband is still single and hasn't found a partner."

"He already has three children, so it doesn't matter whether he finds a partner or not." Jiang Moli said, "To be honest, he's not looking for a partner, which is good for his three children."

If Qi Shixin had a son, he might not treat his daughter so well. Many men are like this. No matter how much they loved their daughters before, when they have a son, they first consider their son and want to give him better things, leaving their daughter aside.

Compared with Miao Guifeng's three daughters, Qi Shixin's three daughters are considered happy.

"It was on the street where we used to live. Miao Guifeng's daughter, Erya, ran away," Jiang Moli said. "She probably couldn't stand the different treatment from her mother, so she left. She was only thirteen or fourteen, still a child. She just ran away like that, and no one knows where she went."

"Didn't her family go looking for her?" Zhou Yiran asked.

"I went there," Jiang Moli said. "I also contacted the police at the police station, but they searched for several days and still couldn't find him."

"If a child that old really wants to run away, it will be impossible to find him." Zhou Yiran said.

"Miao Guifeng is just not good to the child. That's her biological child, not a child she picked up on the street," Jiang Moli said. "She always asks her daughter to do things and says she can't do them well. She doesn't know how to say nice things. It's so unfortunate to be her daughter."

"It's not just a little bit unlucky." Zhou Yiran said, "When I heard you say these words, I felt that she was quite scary. She is a woman herself, so how could she be so bad to her daughter? Can't she be nicer to the child?"

"She has always been like this." Jiang Moli said.

Miao Guifeng was reborn. In her past and present lives, she was obsessed with having a son. She now dotes on her son, not letting him work and always having her daughter take care of him. Miao Guifeng plans to send her son to college, even if it's a private school. She's willing to spend more money to send her son to school. It doesn't matter if her son doesn't do well in school, as long as the family prepares more money.

Jiang Moli thought that Miao Guifeng's son's temper was not so good now. Yang Tianlang used his sisters as maids, and Miao Guifeng did not think that there was anything wrong with his son's attitude. The reason why Yang Tianlang became like that was because Miao Guifeng herself did not treat her daughter well. Miao Guifeng also often told her son that if he had any problems, he should let Daya and others solve them.

"It's a good thing that He Jingxian's ex-husband didn't find another one." Jiang Moli said, "People are always more tolerant of men and more demanding of women."

"It's not that the Qi family doesn't want He Jingxian's ex-husband to find another woman. They've introduced her to someone and even brought her home, but it's all in vain," Zhou Yiran said. "He Jingxian's ex-husband just refused to find another one, so the elders in the family gave up on it. He Jingxian didn't go over, but they gave her some child support. I don't know if that's good enough."

"Some child support is pretty good," Jiang Moli said. "He Jingxian has remarried, so she can pursue her own happiness. Forget about expecting her to look after the children."

"You can't even think about it. To this day, He Jingxian still regards her daughter as a stumbling block to her career." Zhou Yiran said, "When He Jingxian talks about her biological child to others, she always says that her biological child is hindering her career development."

"Have you seen her?" Jiang Moli asked.

"It's rare to see her." Zhou Yiran said, "He Jingxian is doing well now, and she occasionally appears in TV dramas. Although they are always supporting roles, she appears more often and can join the crew more often."

"She does come to the crew often." Jiang Moli said.

He Jingxian now often plays the roles of concubines, stepmothers, and even mothers-in-law. Sometimes, He Jingxian plays the eldest sister or sister-in-law who has many problems at home. He Jingxian's acting style is like that, and it has basically been fixed. He Jingxian is used to playing these similar roles. She doesn't have to think too much when acting. If she plays other roles, the crew doesn't want her. He Jingxian has figured it out and doesn't bother.

Jiang Moli would sometimes hear about He Jingxian from other people. They said that He Jingxian worked very hard on her acting. There were many people on the crew who were more famous than He Jingxian. He Jingxian was very kind on the crew and was not too bad to those who were less famous than her. She thought that if they became famous in the future, they might introduce her to other jobs.

There is a big difference between the current He Jingxian and the previous He Jingxian.

Jiang Moli sometimes met He Jingxian, but He Jingxian never got close to Jiang Moli.

In the evening, Jiang Moli returned home. While taking a walk with Sheng Jiahao, she mentioned that Zhou Yiran was going to change her job.

"Time flies by so fast." Jiang Moli said, "I still remember the days when I sang opera with Yaran when I was little. But now, she is about to change her job and doesn't plan to perform on stage anymore. She wants to fade out."

"Do you think it's a pity?" Sheng Jiahao asked.

"It's not a question of whether it's a pity or not, it's just that Yaran and I are both old." Jiang Moli said.

"You're not even forty yet, so you're not that old." Sheng Jiahao said, "You're still young and can still give it a try."

"We think so, but many people do think about their future when they reach 35 or above," Jiang Moli said. "Everyone needs to plan carefully. Yaran's mother is retiring, so it would be good for Yaran to transfer to another position sooner. I just feel that time has changed so much. And yes, our child is already nine years old."

"Are you starting to worry about your age?" Sheng Jiahao joked, "Then I should be even more anxious. I'm older than you, by a few years."

"It's not that I'm anxious about my age." Jiang Moli gently patted Sheng Jiahao's arm. "I just didn't expect Yaran to start changing jobs at this time. You know? I didn't feel anything the whole time."

Jiang Moli thought that maybe it was because she was always performing, sometimes in new plays, and sometimes in old plays, so Jiang Moli didn't feel the time was passing. Jiang Moli was still very popular, so she couldn't imagine that someone would retire.

"Ya Ran is about one or two years older than me." Jiang Moli said, "Not much older."

Jiang Moli really thought so. Zhou Yiran just stepped down like that, which made Jiang Moli feel that people of the same age as her were stepping back, while she was still on the stage.

"Ya Ran said I can still hold on for a few more years, and I can still hold on." Jiang Moli said, "I used to think that if I didn't participate in the performance, I would just do more filming. As for Ya Ran, the timing of the job change... for me, it feels a little early, but for her, it's just the right time."

This reminded Jiang Moli of some companies in her previous life that liked to set the age limit at 35, as it was difficult for people over 35 to find a job.

"Actually, what Yaran did was correct," Jiang Moli said.

"Don't think too much, she will make the best choice." Sheng Jiahao said.

"Yes." Jiang Moli nodded, "Ya Ran, I still believe in her. She knows what is best to do."

Jiang Moli and Zhou Yiran graduated from Nancheng Art College at the same time, and were from the same class, as was He Jingxian.

The roles played by He Jingxian now are all of a certain age, and Zhou Yiran has also changed jobs. Jiang Moli feels that the people around her seem to have changed a lot all of a sudden.

"I'm a little uncomfortable," Jiang Moli said. "When I'm forty, I don't know how long I can still sing."

"You'll know later." Sheng Jiahao said, "You can still sing now, and there are still many audiences who like you."

After Shi Nan went to Pan's house for dinner, Shi Nan's attitude towards Pan Yun improved a lot, and Pan Yun stopped arguing with Shi Nan. Pan Yun blacklisted Ji Shiyu and stopped chatting with her online.

Pan Yun went to Shi Nan's company more often. She had to let those people know that she was Shi Nan's wife and Shi Nan could not look for other women.

Shi Nan could only let Pan Yun do what she wanted. It was because he had wronged Pan Yun, and Pan's father had warned him again. Shi Nan hated being warned, but he was no match for others. Sometimes when Shi Nan thought about the past, he wondered why Pan Yun was not an only child. If Pan Yun was the only daughter of the Pan family, he would not be so passive and could have taken over the Pan family's company earlier.

But now, Shi Nan can't eat into the Pan family's company at all.

"I have to go home tomorrow night." Pan Yun said at the dinner table.

Jiang Moli has a performance tomorrow night, and Pan Yun can't let Shi Nan go to see Jiang Moli's performance.

"Those opera discs of yours must also be thrown away," Pan Yun said. "Those you hid somewhere else must be thrown away. You can't keep them there."

"Just some discs..."

"Throw it away, throw it all away." Pan Yun said, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? Shi Nan, don't I love you enough? If it weren't for our family, would you be so successful? I just asked you to throw away a few discs, but you weren't happy. Were you watching those discs secretly?"

Jiang Moli has filmed a related disc of her opera singing, and the sales of the disc are very good.

Jiang Moli's company had her record several operas, both new and from her past. Many people loved the discs. Some rented them from stores, while others bought them directly for their collections.

Shi Nan did buy the relevant discs, but he didn't keep all of them at home because he was afraid Pan Yun would be upset. He only kept a few discs at home, and put them together with other people's discs. Shi Nan thought that it would be better to put them that way, but he didn't expect that Pan Yun would know about his mistress.

Pan Yun knew Shi Nan had confessed his love to Jiang Moli a while ago. At first, Pan Yun didn't care much and even went to see Jiang Moli's performance with Shi Nan. Now, Pan Yun can't see anything related to Jiang Moli at home.

When Pan Yun saw Jiang Moli appear on TV, she even threw something at the TV. Pan Yun was still furious. Ji Shiyu had long since left South City, leaving her with nowhere to vent her anger. Even though Pan Yun had cursed Ji Shiyu online before blocking her, it was no use; it still couldn't quell Ji Shiyu's anger.

"Jiang Moli already has a husband and children, why are you still thinking about her?" Pan Yun said.

"The children are still here." Shi Nan looked at his two daughters.

"Even if they were here, I would tell them," Pan Yun said. "You've done all those things, are you still afraid of what others will say?"

Pan Yun now has to talk about something whenever she thinks of it. Before Pan Yun found out that Shi Nan was looking for another woman, she was not like this. She was a little willful, but she was still a good mother in front of her children and her attitude towards Shi Nan was not too bad.

Ever since Pan Yun found out that Shi Nan was looking for another woman, even though Mrs. Pan told Pan Yun not to say anything if she wanted to continue to be with Shi Nan, Pan Yun still had to say it.

"Don't let me know you've hidden those discs, or your company. I'll go check it out someday," Pan Yun said. "Don't think you'll be alright just by hiding things in someone else's house. And those ticket stubs, do you still have them?"

"Throw them all away, throw them all away." Shi Nan said.

"You're just trying to be polite to me." Pan Yun said, "Are you really that easy to talk to?"

"You said you want to throw it away, so throw it away." Shi Nan said.

"Will you listen to me?" Pan Yun asked, "Shi Nan, do you think that just because you've made a lot of money, you can do whatever you want and ignore me?"

"Nothing." Shi Nan frowned.

"Don't fool me," Pan Yun said. "Those buddies of yours only know how to help you hide me. If it weren't for our family, would they be able to make so much money with you? They only know how to thank you, not my family. They are all bad people, they only know how to lead you astray."

Pan Yun thought that she would have to ask Xie Shaojun and Shi Kaihua's wives to come out someday so that she could have a good talk with them. Pan Yun knew that Xie Shaojun had many women outside, and that was Xie Shaojun's business. Xie Shaojun couldn't take Shi Nan with him to fool around. And Shi Kaihua, Shi Kaihua always helped Shi Nan solve those trivial matters. Shi Kaihua must have known about the existence of that woman a long time ago.

"..." Shi Nan didn't say anything. He picked up some food for his two daughters.

Fan Xiaoxue rarely interacted with Xie Shaojun's wife, and even less with Pan Yun. When Pan Yun invited Fan Xiaoxue and the others out for dinner, Fan Xiaoxue was still wondering what had happened. Pan Yun never invited them out for dinner before.

"You guys should take good care of your men and don't lead my man astray." Pan Yun said these words directly when Fan Xiaoxue and the others arrived at the private room.

When Xie Shaojun's wife Gao Yuelan heard these words, she knew what Pan Yun was doing.

"I don't care about these things." Gao Yuelan said, "My man has several women outside, and I can't control them, so how can I care about other things?"

Pan Yun looked at Fan Xiaoxue, who said, "I'm just a grocery store owner. What can I do?"

Fan Xiaoxue knew Pan Yun looked down on them. Even Xie Shaojun and his ilk had to kowtow in front of Pan Yun, let alone the others. Fan Xiaoxue didn't want to offend Pan Yun, but she couldn't do anything else.

"Didn't your husband get a vasectomy?" Gao Yuelan asked. "I heard you asked him to go to the hospital a few days ago to make sure there were no problems with the vasectomy."

"Yes...but..."

"Isn't that enough?" Gao Yuelan said, "As long as he can't get another woman pregnant, it doesn't matter what he does outside. Unlike Xie Shaojun, who has an illegitimate child outside, if I say a few more words, he says he will divorce me if I want a divorce."

Gao Yuelan couldn't divorce Xie Shaojun because she was his legal wife and wanted her children to inherit his property. Gao Yuelan envied Pan Yun because her family was powerful and she could even get Shi Nan to get a sterilization.

Gao Yuelan had no way of getting Xie Shaojun to get a vasectomy. Xie Shaojun felt that a vasectomy would make a man incomplete. Gao Yuelan also had no way of telling Xie Shaojun that just because Shi Nan had a vasectomy, he had to get one too. Xie Shaojun didn't listen to Gao Yuelan, so all she could do was try to stay out of the situation.

If Gao Yuelan paid less attention to his affairs, Xie Shaojun wouldn't be so unhappy, and the relationship between the two of them would be better.

"Do you think I'm you?" Gao Yuelan asked, "You can say whatever you want, and Shi Nan has to listen to you. But I can't. If I say one more word, Xie Shaojun will lose his temper with me and make things difficult for me."

Fan Xiaoxue looked at Gao Yuelan. It seemed that Gao Yuelan had had a difficult life.

"Fan Xiaoxue, you should keep an eye on your man," Gao Yuelan said. "You did watch over him when he was in jail. But he's rich now. Men can become bad when they have money, and they can become very bad. Xie Shaojun and Shi Nan are good examples of this."

"He..." Fan Xiaoxue opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

It's not that Fan Xiaoxue doesn't want to take care of Shi Kaihua, but what Shi Kaihua is doing with Shi Nan now makes Fan Xiaoxue a little worried, worried that Shi Kaihua will have to go to jail in the future.

"I asked you to come here, not to listen to you say how bad your men are." Pan Yun said.

"We are just worse off than you." Gao Yuelan said, "You ask us to control our men, but we can't. We really can't. We can't control them at all. If we were as rich as you and had such a good family background, we would control them. No, we won't. We'll just divorce and find another man."

Gao Yuelan really had no choice. She was just a housewife. What else could she do? She couldn't do it.

A person must understand his situation and know how to do better.

Gao Yuelan knew in her heart that she could only follow Xie Shaojun. Gao Yuelan and Xie Shaojun had rarely had sex, and she did not think that she had to have sex with Xie Shaojun. They were an old couple and had children, so it didn't matter whether they had sex or not.

"If you still want us to help you, I'm sorry, we can't do it." Gao Yuelan said, "We don't have the ability to do so."

“…” Pan Yun felt uncomfortable.

"It's like this, we don't have the ability to do that." Fan Xiaoxue said, "If I could control Shi Kaihua, he wouldn't have started a business with your man and wouldn't have ended up in jail."

Fan Xiaoxue believed that she did not owe the two people in front of her anything, and she really could not control Shi Kaihua. Fan Xiaoxue and Gao Yuelan had the same idea. They could indeed support Pan Yun a little, but they had no other way to deal with other things.

"We are telling you the truth. If we don't tell you the truth and just say we can take care of it, you won't know whether it's true or not." Fan Xiaoxue said, "You should keep an eye on Shi Nan yourself. It's useless for us to watch over him."

"Then you should ask your men to stop helping Shi Nan cover up," Pan Yun said.

"If they really help your man cover up, we won't know." Gao Yuelan said, "Do you think they will tell us?"

Pan Yun looked at Fan Xiaoxue. She felt that Fan Xiaoxue knew a lot.

"Shi Kaihua couldn't have told me. I only discovered Ji Shiyu by chance." Fan Xiaoxue said, "Jiang Moli is my friend. Shi Nan went too far. Is this how you find a replacement? Are you still blaming my friend?"

Pan Yun wanted the two people in front of her to help her, instead of listening to them complaining about her mistakes or saying that they couldn't control their men.

"Next time, if you know it earlier, tell me." Pan Yun said.

"It's hard for an honest judge to judge family affairs," Fan Xiaoxue said. "It was really a coincidence that I found out earlier this time. Next time, Shi Kaihua won't let me know. He only listens to your husband, and I, his wife, have to take a back seat. I'm not that important to him. Even when he was in jail, I waited for him because he was thinking about the money your husband gave me."

As Fan Xiaoxue spoke, she began to laugh. "Shi Kaihua is just your man's tool, and I'm his wife. How much do you think I know? How much can I help you?"

Gao Yuelan looked at Fan Xiaoxue. Fan Xiaoxue's life was indeed not that easy.

"If you don't want to go on like this, then get a divorce." Fan Xiaoxue said, "You have money, and you can find the right one. Those men are attracted by your money and power, so they will be with you. If Shi Nan is not with you, he can't live so happily."

Fan Xiaoxue and Gao Yuelan both meant the same thing, that Pan Yun should not do these things and should divorce Shi Nan directly.

Pan Yun herself refuses to divorce Shi Nan and keeps talking about all sorts of nonsense. This is just constant internal friction and hurting herself, while Shi Nan will not suffer any loss at all.

"Divorce?" Fan Xiaoxue asked again.

"What about you? Why didn't you divorce your husband when he was in jail?" Pan Yun was unhappy. "If you didn't divorce your husband, then let me divorce mine. And you, Gao Yuelan, your husband has found so many women outside, and you didn't divorce him, so why do you want me to divorce him? What exactly do you two mean by this?"
