Facing Zhang Yixiao's questioning, Luo Yingtao knew that she could no longer hide this shameful secret. She sighed and said, "Sister Yixiao, I will tell you all the inside story, but I hope you will promise me not to tell Wang Mudan. I am the one who is operating this business behind the scenes. I am not afraid of you laughing at me. At our age, we no longer care about love between men and women. Now I just want to make more money. No matter what means I use, making enough money is my ultimate goal. In this society full of the stench of money, people are cold, hypocritical and selfish. Ever since my brother from my mother's family met with misfortune, all the men who surrounded me all day long have disappeared. From that time on, I swore that I would never fall in love with any man again. They are greedy for my beauty, but are unwilling to pay money for me. My heart is cold."
"Cherry, all men are cruel. My ex-husband was the same. I worked hard with him and gave birth to a son for him, but he wasn't willing to pay me. Not to mention your previous 'boyfriends'. They had no obligation to treat your brother's illness."
"Yes, I understand this truth. They are snobbish and hypocritical, so I use more realistic means to deal with them. Among the boyfriends I have known in those years, only Jiang Nanmu and Simingda are willing to help me. Jiang Nanmu is my husband, but his ability is limited. He can't make money. It's good enough that he can take care of my son. According to his ability to make money, we can't afford to buy a house even if we work until we die. But Simingda is different. He has a strong network of people and resources. He can help me expand my business, and he himself is financially strong. With him, I feel very at ease, as if I have returned to the days of K University. I firmly believe that only he will help me wholeheartedly, so no matter what he asks, I will agree. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Sleeping with a man is sleeping too. It's more practical to be with a man who can give me money and bring me a sense of security. Sister Yixiao, what do you think?"
Luo Yingtao said fiercely, her eyes were full of indifference and disdain, with a sense of desolation of desperateness. The view of love that she suddenly expressed, which was unacceptable to the world, was far beyond Zhang Yixiao's expectations. She was shocked and sighed silently in her heart that Luo Yingtao had changed a lot. She became sophisticated, realistic, and only had money in her eyes. She could give up shame and morality for money because she was fed up with the pain of lack of money and she wanted to change the status quo.
Ever since Simingda appeared in her life, she felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw when she fell into the water. She believed that only by holding on to him tightly could she make more money and realize her dream of buying a house in Nanyou City.
"Haha, well," Zhang Yixiao said with a polite smile, "Cherry, although I once suspected your relationship, I didn't know it was your first love. No wonder you have so much confidence in him. I understand your feelings, but after all, you each have families, and your current relationship is different from before. You should be cautious."
"Sister Yixiao, I understand what you mean. He was my first love in college. He, Wang Mudan and I were classmates. We even lived in the same dormitory at school. We used to be very good friends. Isn't this kind of relationship very strange?" Luo Yingtao said with a lonely face, "Things change over time. Back then, my financial situation was better than all my female classmates, and Si Mingda was even a poor boy. Now they have become multi-millionaires, and I am still a poor worker. I feel dissatisfied and I also want to buy a house. If I don't put on some face, with the current income of Jiang Nanmu and I, we will never be able to buy a house in our next life."
"Oh, Cherry, I understand now. It turns out that this is the relationship between you three." The secret that Luo Yingtao told solved many questions in Zhang Yixiao's mind.
"Yes, Sister Yixiao, you also know that my financial company's business has not been good. It has not been easy for me to live these years. If I don't find a way to expand the business and buy a house in Nanyou City, it will be inconvenient for my children to go to school. For the sake of my son, I don't care about this face anymore." Luo Yingtao shook her head helplessly, her heart full of pain.
After listening to Luo Yingtao's heartfelt and painful story, Zhang Yixiao felt heavy in her heart. She couldn't help but recall the difficult days when she started her own business after her divorce. If it weren't for He Jiangluo's help, as a woman, even if she had wings, her career would not have developed so smoothly in this first-tier city with fierce competition and high land prices, and she would not have been able to afford two houses. Her achievements were inseparable from He Jiangluo's help. Therefore, their unclear relationship lasted for several years, but she never urged him to divorce. For her, He Jiangluo was her benefactor, and she was content as long as he was happy.
Alas, marriage is a woman’s second life, and an unhappy marriage is the source of a woman’s miserable fate in the second half of her life.
Thinking of her own experience and looking at the sad-looking Luo Yingtao in front of her, Zhang Yixiao felt very heavy-hearted. As someone who had experienced it, she knew that Luo Yingtao's behavior was very immoral, but she didn't know how to persuade her to get out of the quagmire of this relationship.
After pondering for a long time, she slowly said, "Cherry, I understand how you feel. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. We are all in business. As long as there is business taking care of us, they are my clients. I don't care what your relationship is in private. But I remind you, don't let Wang Mudan realize that you are getting too close to Si Ming, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. It can be seen that Wang Mudan is a shrewd and capable woman. No matter how straightforward and generous she is, as long as you affect her interests and touch her marriage and property, she may not continue to tolerate you. Put yourself in her shoes. Any normal woman would not tolerate her husband being constantly entangled with his first love and helping others make money. Your relationship should be kept within the limits and should not violate the law and morality."
