Zhou Chunhua had been married for over twenty years when her husband cheated on her.
She began to reflect: Was she not virtuous enough? Was she not thoughtful enough?
No! It was because...
Looking at Liao Nanxing in front of her, Zhou Chunhua found it extremely ridiculous.
Scenes from the past drifted vaguely before her eyes.
"Liao Nanxing, let me tell you, I will never forget that I knelt in front of your mother and begged her to let me go out to find Nini, because Nini is her own granddaughter."
But your mother kicked me to the ground and blamed me for being useless, for giving birth to a money-losing child for your family, and for not even being able to take care of a child.
I can never forget the day I was taken to the mental hospital, how I clung to your leg, begging you not to send me there, begging you to let me go out and find Nini.
Do you remember what you said? You said finding Nini was the police's job. You also said I was sick, seriously sick. You said you sent me to a mental hospital all for my own good!
And then you just watched as I was forcibly dragged into a car and locked up in a mental hospital! Let me tell you, Liao Nanxing, I'll never forget the ugly faces of you who stopped me from finding Nini!
"I'm sorry..." Liao Nanxing looked at her with tears in his eyes, raised his hand, and then lowered it.
"Chunhua, I'm sorry. I know my mom and I have done a lot of things that hurt you. But we really know we were wrong. Please forgive us?"
"Get out! Why should I forgive you! Let me tell you, I will never forgive you in my entire life!" Zhou Chunhua shouted these words almost hysterically.
So many years of grievances finally broke her spirit.
Scenes from the past flashed before her eyes.
That pitiful version of myself, kneeling on the ground begging them.
The one who hoped Liao Nanxing would help her find Nini, was the one he cruelly pushed away.
That version of myself who cried until dawn, feeling wronged and helpless, countless nights...
She can't! She simply can't forgive them!
In a daze, someone suddenly hugged her and held her tightly in their arms.
She struggled, but the arms binding her were like iron chains, tightly binding her and preventing her from moving an inch.
In her ear, Liao Nanxing's voice said, "Listen to me, I have a company now, I have money, and I have a bright future. Let me make up for the mistakes I made in the past, let me spend the rest of my life making it up to you and Nini, let me take care of you, okay?"
Chunhua, I'm sincere. Please believe me just this once more! I will prove it with my actions; this time, I will definitely be a good husband and a good father!
Please, please think about Nini too. She's so young. She needs her father's love, his company, and his care! You don't want her to go out and be told by others that she's a child without a father, right?
If you're willing to come back to me, I... I'll put all the properties in your name, and... and all the money—all the money in the house, even all the money in the company—I'll put it all in your name, okay?
Please, give me one last chance, and give yourself and Nini another chance.
"Let me go! Let me go!" Zhou Chunhua struggled.
Her vision was already blurred by tears.
But at that moment, her mind was perfectly clear.
"Impossible! I can never forgive you!"
She would never again entrust her life, and her daughter's life, to Liao Nanxing.
Otherwise, why would our ancestors say that it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature?
Moreover, Gu Yao once said that, apart from himself, there is no one in this world with whom one can entrust one's life.
Only a fool would gamble their entire life on the inherent flaws of others.
"Let go!" Zhou Chunhua snapped.
"No! I will never let you go again! Chunhua, please come back! Come back to me! Let me spend the rest of my life making it up to you, let's give Nini a complete family."
The more Liao Nanxing spoke, the tighter he gripped his hand.
She could even feel Liao Nanxing's rapid and excited breathing above her head.
However, Liao Nanxing's closeness at this moment only made her feel disgusted.
"I'm warning you! Get your filthy hands off me! Otherwise, I won't be so polite!"
"No! I won't let go unless you promise me... Ah!"
Liao Nanxing, who hadn't finished speaking, was leaning against the wall, clutching her lower abdomen.
He looked up at Zhou Chunhua, his face alternating between pale and flushed.
"You think I'm dirty?"
He couldn't believe that he would ever be disliked by Zhou Chunhua.
Even though she loved him so much, and even though he had already humbled himself so much, Zhou Chunhua not only refused to forgive him, but even thought he was dirty!
You know, back then, he only had to beckon him, and Zhou Chunhua would come running to him, begging for his love.
Why, why has everything changed?
Gu Yao!
He remembered the time Zhou Chunhua brought up divorce with him in the coffee shop...
Zhou Chunhua's personality changed drastically starting from that time!
"Hehehe..." He looked at Zhou Chunhua and laughed: "Chunhua, do you really think Gu Yao likes you? Hehehe, he's just playing you! He's just had too much of the finest things in life and now he wants a taste of the ordinary!"
Chunhua, think it over carefully. What do you have that he would like? You have no background, no education, no job, no looks, no figure...
Where do you get the confidence to think he'll like you? Wake up! He's only getting close to you to get revenge on me! Use your brain, will you?
Nini is in this state now. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about Nini! Think about it carefully, I am Nini's father!
Besides me, what other man would be so devoted to Nini?
"Shut up!" Zhou Chunhua couldn't take it anymore.
"People with a guilty conscience see everything as dirty! Gu Yao and I are completely innocent, and you are not allowed to slander Gu Yao!"
"Completely innocent? Ha!" Liao Nanxing, having recovered, released his grip and slowly straightened up.
"Chunhua, you don't need to put on this act of a chaste and virtuous woman in front of me! Since I said I'm willing to take you back to my side, I don't care that you slept with him."
Really! As long as you're willing to come back to me, I don't care about anything else!
"Get out!" Zhou Chunhua pointed in the direction of the corridor, feeling like she was talking to a brick wall.
Honestly, at that moment she felt that saying even one more word would be a waste of breath.
However, the next second, Liao Nanxing's hand grasped hers.
A cool breeze blew by, and goosebumps spread from the tips of my fingers to my whole body.
This feeling is even more disgusting than being kissed by a fly that has just licked your excrement.
So, without thinking, she made a fist with her left hand and swung it straight at Liao Nanxing's face.
With a bang, the culprit that gave her goosebumps was gone, and her inverted body hair returned to normal.
"You...you hit me again!" Liao Nanxing covered her red and swollen cheek, staring at the woman in front of her in disbelief.
"Hit you?" Zhou Chunhua unconsciously wiped her hands with the corner of her clothes. "If murder weren't illegal, I would have slapped you to pieces!"
