As a married man and father of three children, Si Mingda keeps saying that he wants to make up for the emotional dislocation in his youth. He doesn't consider the effort and emotions that his original wife Wang Mudan has put in for him at all. It is really disheartening.
"Mudan is really good. Can you please not let her get hurt again? Is Luo Yingtao so important to you? Is it just because she is prettier than Mudan? Will finding a beautiful woman make you men proud? To tell you the truth, beautiful women are like flowers, their beauty is only short-lived. Life still requires a long-term process. I hope you can calm down."
Zhao Haitang persuaded her earnestly, saying that she wanted to do her best to help her old classmate save this shaky marriage crisis.
"To be honest, beauty was a factor, but the main reason was that we were first loves, and that feeling is unforgettable. Back when we were at K University, Luo Yingtao wanted to break up with me, and I was really devastated. But I don't blame her. I only blame my own financial situation for not allowing her to enjoy herself. Plus, she was frightened when she was robbed in K Park. That incident was originally my fault. I insisted on going to the park to play, and I got robbed. If it weren't for that incident, we might not have broken up. Looking back, everything was destined to happen."
More than a decade had passed, and Simingda still felt guilty for scaring Luo Yingtao during the robbery, yet he had never felt the slightest bit of sympathy for Wang Mudan, who had been with him for over a decade. At this moment, Zhao Haitang couldn't help but think of the saying, "Men are mean. What they can't have is always the best, the white moonlight in their hearts. But the woman who loved him wholeheartedly became a grain of rice on his clothes, dispensable. It's really heartbreaking."
"Si Mingda, you only think about how you feel about letting Luo Yingtao down. Have you ever considered Wang Mudan's feelings? Throughout your relationship, it was Wang Mudan who devoted all her energy to you. It was her parents who paid for your car fare. It was her contribution that led to your opening of the company, and she was the one who ran the business. Why couldn't all her efforts be compared to a wink from Luo Yingtao?"
"Haitang, back when we were in school, after Luo Yingtao broke up with me, I irrationally attempted suicide. That incident was a real blow, and I felt so humiliated. Wang Mudan gave me a little note to comfort me, so that I wouldn't be ridiculed by Luo Yingtao's suitors, and it also helped me save face in front of my classmates. I'm really grateful to her. I told her the truth. We have three children, and our careers are tied together. We can't be apart. Wang Mudan, don't worry. No matter what my relationship with Luo Yingtao is, as long as I don't leave home, it's fine."
"With the red flag flying high at home and the colorful flags fluttering outside, is this the only way to satisfy the vanity of you rich men?" Zhao Haitang asked mercilessly.
"Haha, this question is indeed quite realistic. You're a psychologist, so you know more than me. Maybe this is just the nature of men. At least I'm better than many men because I've never mentioned divorce."
"That's because your business cannot do without Mudan's support."
"Haha, Haitang, this is also the main reason."
"Si Mingda, are you telling the truth?"
"Haitang, whether you scold me or blame me, I'm telling the truth. So, it's not easy for men either. You psychologists can't just blindly blame men for all the mistakes in a marriage. Men can't express the pain in their hearts."
"Si Mingda, what you said represents the voices of many men. For the sake of so-called true love, they can find many reasons to abandon their wives and children. I see many emotionally hurt women every day, and I've also listened to many men's interpretations of failed marriages. To sum up, women think that because they give too much to the family, a man's heart must be on her. For men, they need both a hardworking and kind housekeeper and a graceful and charming confidante. In this way, conflicts are inevitable. It's impossible to have both at the same time, which is why so many couples divorce. It's a sad social problem."
"Yes, now you can understand why in ancient times, most wealthy and prestigious men had two or more wives. The wife at home was responsible for taking care of the parents and children, while the wife outside was responsible for socializing and maintaining the appearance."
"Times have changed. You shouldn't have such thoughts. Besides being immoral, you may also be punished by law."
"Times are changing, but men's nature will not change." Si Mingda said shamelessly.
"Alas, Simingda, after all this talk, it seems you haven't listened to my advice at all. However, I still want to advise you that at this age, you should focus on your children. No matter what kind of love, it is not as important as children."
"Haha, Haitang, according to your logic, there would be no men who get bored with the old and love the new, and there would be no topic of divorce."
"From my perspective, I do hope that every family is happy and harmonious, with loving couples and no quarrels or disputes. Unfortunately, all of this is an idealized expectation and does not exist in real life."
"Your life is an idealization, not a reality. We are facing the reality of real life."
"As an old classmate, I sincerely hope that your family is happy and beautiful, and your children grow up healthy and happy. I am a mother and a wife. If anything happened to my family, I would also be very sad. This is the nature of women. I hope you can put yourself in my shoes and understand Mudan's difficulties."
"Okay, Haitang, I know what to do. Thank you for your explanation. One word from you is worth ten years of reading!"
"Thank you! If you have any further questions about marriage, let's talk again. I hope you and Mudan live happily."
