Five years ago, Lin Sui abandoned her boyfriend of seven years, Qin Chen, to marry the playboy Zhou Dang, all to pay for her father's medical treatment.
Five years later, Lin Sui nearly g...
Lin Sui smiled at the surveillance camera for a full half hour. Zhou Dang was really unromantic, but it must be said that Zhou Dang's actions made Lin Sui feel at ease.
To be honest, based on Lin Sui's understanding of Zhou Dang, Su Bai is definitely the type he would like, but the fact that he restrained himself shows that he really cares about himself and this family.
It was no easy task to get the playboy to change his ways. However, Zhou Dang scored a perfect score in this test.
What is rare is that Zhou Dang was not proud of it. He never mentioned it, as if he was the one who made the confession.
Lin Sui thinks Zhou Dang is very cute.
Life returned to normal again. Except that they went back to the old house more often, Zhou's mother now called Zhou Dang several times a week, asking him to come home and show her filial piety.
"If you don't show your ability now, when will you? This is such a critical moment. Mom doesn't need to remind you, right?" Zhou Dang put his phone on the table with the hands-free function on. He made a speechless expression at Lin Sui.
"No way, Mom, isn't my dad fine now? Aside from his difficulty speaking, he's no different from a good person. Why are you so deliberate? If I go to see him every day, he might start to wonder if he has a terminal illness."
"Just shut up and listen to me. Your sister-in-law comes to see your father every day, and her legs are thin from running around. If you don't pay more attention to her, all the meat will be picked out by others, and there won't even be any soup left for you!" Mother Zhou gritted her teeth, expressing her regret to the fullest.
"Okay, okay, I get it." Zhou Dang didn't want to listen to his mother's repetitive remarks anymore, so he hung up the phone.
Lin Sui sat aside, trying to suppress his laughter. "No way, I also thought your dad was okay. But your mom looks like your dad won't live much longer."
Zhou Dang shrugged, "I don't know. Anyway, I have to report to the old house every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, just like going to work."
Lin Sui was a little puzzled, "You and your dad don't seem to have a good relationship."
Zhou Dang smiled. "When I was a kid, he and my mom quarreled every day. The reason for the quarrels was that my dad had a mistress and children outside. How could I have a good relationship with my dad after hearing this every day? For a while, I hated him to death. Later, I went abroad. After I was far away, I only contacted my mom and treated him like a relative. Even now, when he was sick, I might be a little sad, but not too much."
Lin Sui nodded.
"I don't really care who gets more or less of his inheritance. With what I have now, as long as he doesn't do anything stupid, I can provide for Paipai in his old age. But my mom is different. She's been holding back her whole life. I guess she's been patient because she wants to fight for the inheritance for me."
Lin Sui was a little confused, "Is your brother your real brother? Why is your mother so partial to him?"
Zhou Dang snorted, "You don't understand, right? I just told you that my mom and dad have been arguing about other women and children since I was little. I know all about this, so how could my brother not know about it? But he has always revered my dad. My mom probably feels betrayed, so she's increasingly biased towards me."
Lin Sui was even more confused. "Then your dad seems to favor you too. Logically speaking, shouldn't your dad like your brother more?"
Zhou Dang frowned. "I don't know about that. My dad might like my personality better. He thinks my brother is too rigid. And maybe he's just cheap. The closer I get to him, the less attractive he finds me."
"Well...it's complicated."
"That's what I said. Why don't we just give birth to Paipai? Otherwise, I'm afraid the two kids will fight over the property."
Lin Sui smiled and said, "Then why don't you just be fair?"
Zhou Dang shook his head. "You don't understand human nature at all. If you have two identical things, you will unconsciously like one of them, let alone two people."
Lin Sui nodded, "That makes sense. But I really want to have another child. It would be nice for two children to have company."
Zhou Dang laughed immediately, "Of course, I want a daughter too. Well, actually, the issues of fairness and unfairness are all later. As long as we are good parents and teach our children well, when the time comes to divide the family property, they will just be humble to each other and say, 'Brother, give it to you. Sister, give it to you.'" At the end, Zhou Dang simply started acting.
"You're sick." Lin Sui looked at Zhou Dang, whose expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book, rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.
Fang Zhiyou and Qin Chen spent another month in peace.
During this month, she finally knew whether he had cheated again. She regarded that crazy incident as an occasional break in her oppressive marriage. Fortunately, the male intern teacher was also very knowledgeable and tacitly agreed not to get involved.
Fang Zhiyou, feeling guilty, suddenly transformed into the person she was before marriage. She no longer spoke in a sarcastic or sarcastic manner. Although Qin Chen was still cold, she could pretend not to see him and joke with him about gossip.
She went to work as usual every day, and after get off work she would buy groceries and cook and wait for Qin Chen to come home, but she no longer called Qin Chen to urge him. If he came back, she would eat with him. If he didn't come back, she would leave the food for him and eat alone.
Her heart calmed down again.
It was as if the landslides and earthquakes that had occurred before had never happened.
As for her previous desire to allow Qin Chen and Wan Qing to be together, she put it aside after she woke up. Deep down in her heart, she would never allow it. She felt that the current situation was good enough. She managed her marriage well with the guilt towards Qin Chen, and would never be hysterical again because Qin Chen was not wholeheartedly devoted to her.
Wan Qing, however, didn't think so. She was like a long-awaited beautiful snake, silently waiting in the shadows, spitting out her tongue, just waiting for a precise strike. However, she had been waiting for a long time, but the opportunity was still not coming. Qin Chen was becoming more and more like a normal boss to her. She was extremely anxious, but she couldn't show it on the surface.
She hated the exhausting work every day. She didn't want to do any work at all. She just wanted to stay at home and be a rich lady like Lin Sui.
Qin Chen spent the past month thinking about nothing but regret. He regretted marrying Fang Zhiyou and letting Lin Sui go. He checked Lin Sui's social media feed every day, and the more he looked, the more he hated himself. Wasn't she just a child? Could he really not tolerate this? As long as Lin Sui was around, what could he not tolerate?
Now he is no longer cuckolded, but his marriage is like a tomb that locks him in, and he can hardly breathe.
If he had Lin Sui, at least he would still have love, unlike now, where he only has a cold marriage.
Originally, all of this was just Qin Chen's own thoughts, until one night, he received a transfer from Lin Sui, two million. The message was: Return it to you, wish you happiness.
