Chapter 139 Loving the Wrong Person

No wonder that whenever he had a conflict with the Huo family, or more accurately, with Yue Ling, he would always criticize him without even asking what happened.

No wonder he wouldn't let me into his study...

No wonder he was heartless and powerless towards himself...

It turns out that all of this was foreshadowed long ago.

Even his doting on his daughter was a lie, it was all a lie!

The person who truly loves the daughter is Yue Ling; he's just doing this to please her!

Thinking of this, Zhang Yaqin suddenly smiled.

Married for thirty years, she bore children for her husband and took care of all the housework.

He said he wanted to compete for that position, so she tried every means to help him compete for it.

In the end, he said he fought for all of this just to make Yue Ling regret it!

At this moment, Zhang Yaqin really wanted to pry open his skull and see what was inside him.

Zhang Yaqin couldn't bear to think about it; the more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the angrier she became, the more she thought about it.

Once the fire in her heart flared up, she didn't care about anything else and pushed the door open forcefully.

At twenty, she might still worry that if she were to reveal this secret, she wouldn't be able to live her life afterward.

Now she is over fifty years old, and her grandson and granddaughter are old enough to run errands.

What does she have to be afraid of?

Besides, she wasn't the one who did something wrong!

Surprisingly, Yu Changqing did not react much when he saw Zhang Yaqin.

He calmly tidied up the things on the table before speaking, his tone as gentle as ever.

"Why didn't you knock before you came in..."

"Smack—"

Before he could react, Zhang Yaqin slapped him across the face.

She slapped him with all her might. Yu Changqing considered himself a scholar, and apart from daily health maintenance, he rarely did physical training in recent years.

The slap made him see stars, and his face stung with pain.

Before he could even speak, Zhang Yaqin slapped the other half of his face.

"Are you crazy?"

Yu Changqing covered her face, looking utterly incredulous. "You...where did you learn this from? You even dare to hit your own man?"

"I'm crazy! But I was driven to this by you, you shameless bastard."

"Yu Changqing! I've been married into your family for over thirty years. What have I ever done to wrong you that you treat me like this?"

"Speak up! Say something to me!"

"So now you don't even want to explain anymore, is that it?"

Zhang Yaqin was so angry that she punched him several more times.

"You heartless wretch, what kind of bewitching drug did Yue Ling give you that made you lose your mind?"

"Let me tell you, you belong to me, Zhang Yaqin, in this life and in the death."

Even if you bring down the Huo family, Yue Ling won't give you a second glance.

"Enough!"

Yu Changqing, with a face covered in slap marks, looked over with an indifferent gaze.

"These are all old, trivial matters. What's the point of you bringing them up now?"

"It's meaningless, isn't it?"

Zhang Yaqin retorted fiercely, "It's meaningless. So why are you keeping those old photos of people? Are you reminiscing about them? Or are you hiding something shady in your heart? You know the answer in your heart!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Yaqin shoved the person away.

She took the pocket watch out of the drawer.

"Give me back my things!"

Yu Changqing's voice suddenly rose, "There's nothing between her and me, don't think of me as something so despicable!"

In over thirty years of marriage, this was the first time Yu Changqing had spoken in such a stern tone.

Zhang Yaqin was furious at his attitude. "You don't want to? You're practically begging to pay him, but unfortunately, he doesn't want you!"

As she spoke, she opened her pocket watch.

Zhang Yaqin was stunned the moment she saw the photo.

Suddenly, she remembered what she had just heard: "She likes gentle and refined men, men with a scholarly air about them."

Zhang Yaqin immediately understood, "This person is not..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Yu Changqing's hand had already reached out quickly.

In the struggle, the photo snapped in two with a tearing sound.

Yu Changqing's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he raised his hand to slap Zhang Yaqin.

"Give me the photo!"

Hehehe—

Her laughter was so manic that Yu Changqing suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"why are you laughing?"

"I am laughing at the ridiculous people."

Zhang Yaqin sneered, "I thought I was ridiculous enough, but I didn't expect you to be the real joke."

"Hahaha, this is hilarious!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Changqing looked over and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

At this moment, a mocking smile appeared on Zhang Yaqin's lips.

"I laugh because you are the biggest joke in the world, a blind and stupid fool."

"You said you've been thinking about her for over thirty years, and because of her, you can't even be brothers with Fok Chun-tung anymore."

"In the end, they even mistook the person for someone else. Isn't that hilarious?"

"Impossible! You're talking nonsense!"

Yu Changqing's face turned ashen. "This is clearly her."

"She isn't!"

Zhang Yaqin said, word by word, "Don't forget, Yue Ling has a twin sister."

"Yue Ling has never liked weak scholars; she has always liked real men like Huo Zhendong who dare to fight and take risks."

"The one who truly appreciates people with a scholarly air is her older sister—Yue Sheng!"

"No, you're lying to me on purpose. You've always been jealous of her."

"Yes, I'm jealous of her!"

Zhang Yaqin's jealousy of her had been going on for a long time, and she had nothing to hide from admitting it.

"I'm jealous of her good fortune; she had four sons in a row!"

"Unlike your parents, just because my first child was a girl, they wouldn't even hold her."

“I still remember how your mother mocked me when I was in postpartum confinement.”

"I'm also jealous that she has a man who loves her wholeheartedly, unlike you! You're in Cao Cao's camp but your heart is with Han."

Although she didn't know how Yu Changqing had mistaken someone for someone else, Zhang Yaqin was certain of one thing.

The person in the photo is Yue Sheng, Yue Ling's older sister from the same mother!

She had seen this small, one-inch portrait with Yue Ling before.

At that time, the relationship between the two families had not yet fallen apart, and she and Yue Ling were still best friends who could talk about anything.

At the time, she also mistakenly thought the person in the photo was Yue Ling.

But Yue Ling smiled and said that this was her own sister, born of the same mother.

She also said that the two sisters look exactly alike, and even their parents sometimes can't tell them apart, wondering which one is the older sister and which one is the younger sister.

Perhaps Zhang Yaqin's words gave Yu Changqing a slight jolt, and he suddenly remembered long-buried memories.

Although nearly forty years have passed, Yu Changqing still remembers it very clearly.

The day I first met Yue Ling, it was raining heavily.

He met 'Yue Ling' while taking shelter from the rain in a bookstore.

At that time, she had long flowing hair and was sitting quietly reading a book. Yu Changqing was captivated at first glance.

But the attraction of youth is always accompanied by a lack of self-confidence, and Yu Changqing hesitated for a long time before daring to go up and talk to her.

But ever since then, whenever he has free time, he will go to the bookstore to wait for her.
