Last time at the banquet, due to the large number of people and the noisy conversation, Simingda and Luo Yingtao only greeted each other politely and did not have the opportunity to talk about some private topics. After adding each other on WeChat, they chatted privately several times, and Luo Yingtao clearly felt that Simingda still had feelings for her.
In order to further test his true inner thoughts, she took the initiative to ask him to meet, hoping to get closer to him and test whether she could use his connections to help her financial company expand its business. When they met for the first time, due to her excited emotions, Luo Yingtao thought the time was not right and she was not in a position to propose taking over the customs account of Simingda Company too early, but she never gave up looking for the right opportunity.
After twelve years of struggle, Luo Yingtao is no longer the cheerful, cheerful, proud and noble girl from a rich family. A series of family changes, marital misfortunes and losses have made her fall heavily from the clouds of happiness to the ground. The hardships of life have made her snobbish and selfish, and the financial difficulties have made her anxious. She cares a lot about face, but has become numb after suffering so many irresistible hardships. In order to buy a house as soon as possible, she doesn't care about face or substance, only putting money in her pocket is the real thing.
The last time she met Si Mingda, it was their first time meeting alone after a long separation. They only talked about their life since they separated. She was reluctant to mention the financial company, as she didn't want Si Mingda to think she was too eager for quick success and snobbish. So she deliberately played hard to get, and when she confirmed that Si Mingda still had feelings for her, she planned to take the second step of her plan.
However, what she didn't expect was that they were spotted by Wang Mudan's friend on their first date and photographed, which triggered a marriage crisis for Si Mingda and Wang Mudan. The incident also left a deep shadow in their hearts.
Although Wang Mudan was very bothered by Luo Yingtao and Simingda's private date, she did not go to Luo Yingtao to question her. She knew Simingda's character too well. If she questioned Luo Yingtao, it would undoubtedly further intensify their conflict and would only make Simingda's heart drift further away.
In desperation, she had to go to Nanzuo City and discuss with Zhao Haitang how to deal with this messy emotional entanglement.
Zhao Haitang's psychological counseling company covers an area of more than 50 square meters, equipped with a lounge, consultation room, and treatment room. The business is very good. Most of the people who come for consultation are women in their thirties and forties who have experienced unhappy marriages. They are either full-time mothers with no source of income and rely on their husbands for life. Over time, they are despised by men and end up with nothing. When they reach middle age, they encounter difficulties everywhere when looking for jobs, and over time they become depressed.
Some women, who worked alongside their husbands in their youth, then, when their financial situation improves, their husbands, claiming their feelings have faded, reject their former wives as old and unattractive, and openly seek out new lovers. These women's experiences are similar to Wang Mudan's: they've shared hardships with their husbands, but not their prosperity. Their husbands willingly let other women take over the wealth they worked so hard to build. How can they feel? How can they find psychological balance?
After Zhao Haitang arranged for his assistant to connect with the patient, he accompanied Wang Mudan to the reception room.
Wang Mudan asked dejectedly, "Haitang, tell me, how should we handle the relationship between Simingda and Luo Yingtao?"
“Which ones do you mean?”
"I don't want to make a big deal out of this. As long as Simingda can change his mind and try to minimize the harm this incident brings to the family, my three children are still young. They need the care of healthy parents. I don't want the conflicts between adults to affect the growth of the children." For middle-aged women, children are both their spiritual sustenance and their biggest weakness. For the sake of their children, they are willing to pay any price.
Zhao Haitang thought for a moment and said, "You're right. We're all mothers, and I understand how you feel. Although many women in society can't stand a man's betrayal and divorce impulsively for the sake of self-esteem, they end up helping their husbands and mistresses, leaving themselves alone and helpless, and their property also given away to others, in fact, think about it the other way around. For a middle-aged woman, children are their greatest asset. As long as the children live well, what does it matter if the adults suffer a little? In a situation like yours, you should be even more cautious. Your three children are still young. For the sake of the children, if you can forgive him, then do so. You have been together for so many years, and you have worked together for a huge fortune. These are not child's play."
"I can tolerate my personal honor and disgrace, but I don't want my child's childhood to be overshadowed. I also don't want to give away the wealth I've worked so hard for. Why? As long as he can return to the family, I don't care about his emotional affairs."
"Yeah, facing the daily necessities of life and the children's tuition, it's better to put aside your worries and settle the bill."
Zhao Haitang receives so many emotionally hurt women every day, and he knows that for them, three meals a day and their children's tuition are far more important than so-called romantic love. For the sake of life, they have to endure a little bit of anger.
"Haitang, let me be honest with you. Although I'm deeply hurt by Simingda's emotional betrayal, compared to the growth of our child, I personally don't care about it. Now I just want to know what I can do to keep his heart? As long as we don't get divorced, maintaining the status quo is fine."
"Mudan, you are too kind and trust Si Mingda too much, so he becomes more and more greedy, thinking that you can't live without him. Human nature is so ugly. You don't cherish the good things he does, but you think about what you can't have all day long. It's just like what Zhang Ailing described, what he can't have is the 'white moonlight', and those who accompany him through hardships become the 'leftover rice grains' on his clothes. Alas, men's hearts are greedy. They will only wake up when they fall on the bed in their old age, right?" Zhao Haitang sighed helplessly.
"Haitang, I really feel like my efforts are worthless. After twelve years of devoted support, I'm still just a speck of rice on his clothes? Luo Yingtao abandoned him for over a decade, yet she's always been the white moonlight in his heart? What an irony, what a heartbreaking game!"
