Xue Hongmei almost cried, especially when she mentioned Xu Yatong and Zhou Zhengqing's wedding again.

"Sister Hongmei, you got pregnant out of wedlock and are raising your child alone. It must be very difficult, right? Do you often have to endure people's disdain?"

Chen Jingyan accurately hit Xue Hongmei's sore spot.

Xue Hongmei raised her tear-reddened eyes, her expression sorrowful.

Chen Jingyan smiled gently and said, "Sister Hongmei, I don't mean to belittle you. I just feel a lot of sympathy for your experience. My older cousin had a similar experience to yours. She lost her husband at a young age, was scolded by her mother-in-law for being a jinx, and was kicked out of her home. When she returned to her parents' home, her own mother called her a jinx. For money, her mother wanted to sell her to a mentally challenged man as his wife."

Women always have a natural affinity and sympathy for each other, and Xue Hongmei clearly felt great sympathy for Shen Yulan's plight.

Shen Jingyan continued, "But she did not bow to fate. Instead, she bravely fought against the wicked mother-in-law, got back the compensation that was rightfully hers, and worked hard to get into university. Now she is a student at the Capital Normal University."

Xue Hongmei was a smart woman; she understood the meaning behind Chen Jingyan's words.

"Your cousin is so lucky, but I am..."

"My cousin wasn't lucky at all; she changed her fate through hard work and an indomitable spirit."

Shen Jingyan shook her head and said, "Sister Hongmei, are you really going to accept your fate, toil away raising your son all your life, and easily let go of the man who caused you so much pain?"

Xue Hongmei's body stiffened, and her pale lips trembled.
