Chapter 943 Let Me Tell You a Story
Bian Yue didn't know about this. She shared a room with Bian Lana at night, and couldn't see Zhang Liangyu after the museum closed because he always used the excuse of discussing business or having social engagements and treating friends to dinner.
"You are monitoring us..." Bian Yue murmured.
Cheng Hui said: "Every foreign businessman is under surveillance outside. Of course, we are doing this for protection. We don't want them to get lost or have any accidents. That would have a big impact on us."
This is a high-sounding reason.
Just give any reason, that’s not what Bian Yue cares about.
"How could he do this... I, I live next door to him, and we agreed to get engaged next month and get married next year..." Bian Yue tried hard not to cry.
Cheng Hui said: "He is so blatant, this is not the first time, right? He should have been like this before, don't you know?"
"He said it was all just a casual act... He didn't really do anything with those women... He never made a fuss in front of me before, and I thought he would be more restrained when I was around..." said Bian Yue.
Many men in their circle have women outside. They have been taught since childhood to have three wives and four concubines. Their wives are not allowed to be jealous, and if they are jealous, they will be divorced!
But they will give the first wife some face, because the first wife's family is not easy to mess with.
Zhang Liangyu did the same thing. If Cheng Hui hadn't exposed him today, he would have kept the secret well from Bian Yue.
Cheng Hui sighed and said, "I didn't mean anything else. I just remembered my friend's final outcome and couldn't bear to see you again."
"What happened to your friend?" Bian Yue asked subconsciously.
Cheng Hui said: "That's my neighbor's sister, much older than me. When she was in her 30s, her beauty was gone, and her family encountered some problems, so her husband found an 18-year-old girl whose family was better than his original wife's, and he insisted on getting a divorce."
"My friend disagreed. She had two children, she had no ability to survive, she had no family to return to, and she even loved that man. But... "
Cheng Hui's voice became heavy: "One day, she happily told me that the man might have changed his mind, treated her well, and wanted to take her to see the sea."
"She left happily, but never came back."
Bian Yue took a deep breath.
Cheng Hui said: "The man came back alone, bringing her ashes. He said she was seasick at sea, leaned over the railing to vomit, and ended up falling into the sea. When she was fished out, she was already dead."
Bian Yue’s eyes widened.
"Maybe, maybe she was just being careless..."
Cheng Hui smiled sarcastically: "One month after my friend died, he remarried on the pretext that his children needed someone to take care of them. But he just kept doing what he did and got involved with several women outside."
"His future wife couldn't stand it anymore, so she reported him, saying that he was the one who pushed my friend into the sea, that the plan was made by the two of them together, that she was the one who found the boat, and that the people on the boat were all her family members."
"The man later admitted it."
"She, she..." Bian Yue didn't know what to say.
But since the woman is so self-deprecating and has confessed her mistake, it must be true!
"Oh my god, how can there be such a cruel man!" Bian Yue paused and said, "He, he won't..."
Cheng Hui wanted to roll her eyes. Love-brained people are so annoying.
She said with a sigh, "You don't know how good they were when they were in love. They were classmates and childhood sweethearts. The man quietly picked up and dropped off the girl to school every day."
"You know the customs here, right? Men and women can't be too close to each other, even husband and wife. The man always stands a few meters away, silently guarding her from behind."
"We used to live in difficult conditions. We had trouble getting food, didn't you? The men's families were a little better off, so they had steamed bread and vegetables every day. The girls' families were poorer, so they only had steamed bread and pickles every day. Steamed bread? It was a kind of food that was worse than pig feed."
Bian Yue looked horrified. How could that be eaten?
"The man would exchange their meals every day. He would eat the girl's food and let her eat his. If the girl refused, he would force her to eat. The girl was so touched that she thought his domineering behavior was a proof of love."
Bian Yue...she thought so too! How good is this kind of dominance?
"Once a girl met a gangster, and the man risked his life to save her. He was beaten and had a bloody head and several broken bones. He almost died. He also stabbed the man several times and almost died. In the end, he was falsely accused by the gangster, and his family paid the gangster several thousand yuan in compensation."
Cheng Hui continued: "Do you know how much a few thousand yuan was worth more than 10 years ago? It is equivalent to the savings of an ordinary family for two lifetimes. You can understand it as 1 million US dollars."
"Wow!" Bian Yue was fascinated by what she heard. This man sounded so good at this moment!
Cheng Hui continued, "The man's family only had so much money, and they borrowed some money, but they lost it all. The man didn't complain at all. The girl wanted to give him money, but he refused. The man's family hated the girl and didn't agree to their marriage. The man went on a hunger strike and knelt on the ground to beg his parents for three days and three nights. He was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment, and he kept calling the girl's name when he was unconscious."
"Wow..." Bian Yue was really touched.
If a man treated her like this, she would definitely marry him!
Even Zhang Liangyu had never treated her like this. He just said "I love you" to her a few times and bought her some small gifts.
Compared to that, he's not that great.
Cheng Hui continued to make up: "After marriage, the man treated the girl very well. Apart from controlling her, not allowing her to dress nicely, not allowing her to go out to work, not allowing her to talk to men... nothing happened until the girl became pregnant. After the second trimester, the man changed. He started looking for women outside, started not coming home, started domestic violence... repeated the cycle until he killed his wife."
Bian Yue covered her mouth and said, "Why? He loved her, right? Otherwise, how could he be so good to her? He fought for her, paid for her, and even risked his life! If this is not love, then what is love?"
Cheng Hui said: "I don't know, maybe I have loved it, but people's hearts will change. If you like an expensive diamond necklace, will you think about it all the time? Will you try every means to get it? But after you really get it, will you wear it all the time? Forever?"
If Cheng Hui used other examples, Bian Yue might not feel anything.
But if she said that, she suddenly understood, and she immediately said: "No, how can I wear a necklace all the time? No matter how beautiful it is, I will only wear it for a week at most, and then only wear it occasionally."
She didn't say that most of the time, she would stop liking her jewelry after buying it and wearing it once, and would never wear it a second time!
There's no way, she has the luxury.
Maybe it's the same for men too? Isn’t there a saying that women are like clothes? No matter how beautiful a piece of clothing is, you won’t wear it forever. Once it gets old, it will become unsightly and you’ll have to throw it away.
It’s just that some people can’t afford a second piece of clothing, so they have no choice but to keep wearing it.
Zhang Liangyu also had this condition. Changing women was like changing clothes, and she was a beautiful piece of clothing that he had not yet obtained.
