Zhao Haitang has mediated many cases of divorce between couples and has had many face-to-face communications with them. He is well aware of the problems existing in the marriages of middle-aged men and women, their true mentalities, and the root causes of the conflicts.
She has known Simingda and Wang Mudan for many years and is very familiar with their relationship status. In the eyes of outsiders, their marriage is like a "gorgeous dress", but Zhao Haitang knows very well that this seemingly gorgeous dress has long been "full of holes" under the polishing of ordinary life, and the clothes are also covered with small mites. The reason they show it to outsiders is because the owners are very proud and can't bear to throw it away.
Zhao Haitang knew very well that Wang Mudan was competitive and concerned about her reputation. Si Mingda and Luo Yingtao's private date was embarrassing for her as his legal wife and also greatly hurt her self-esteem.
At this time, Wang Mudan needed comfort from others. As an old classmate, Zhao Haitang had to stabilize her emotions first and try to guide things in a positive direction. He did not dare to analyze the problems in her marriage with Si Mingda in a realistic way, for fear that she could not bear the stimulation.
Wang Mudan continued to vent her frustrations on WeChat: "Haitang, Luo Yingtao has changed a lot. She used to be just a bit arrogant, but she wasn't scheming. But what she's doing now is really unbelievable. She seems very cunning. I can't quite figure her out. What is she trying to do? I'm really scared. What if their old love rekindles? My family will fall apart. What will happen to my three children? I've worked so hard for over a decade, why is this the end?"
Wang Mudan's tearful confession made Zhao Haitang's heart ache. She couldn't influence which side Simingda's feelings would tilt, so she could only persuade him with sincere and reasonable words: "Mudan, society is a big melting pot. There's an exaggerated saying that 'a stick will turn into gold after three years on the street'. As the environment changes, people's hearts will change. What's more, a woman like Luo Yingtao, who is outstanding in appearance, arrogant by nature, and extremely vain, didn't she despise Simingda for being poor when she was dating him? Now that she is middle-aged, her husband doesn't have as much money as Simingda, so her psychological imbalance is understandable. As for Simingda, he has made the mistake that many men often make. He is greedy with women, always thinking that what he doesn't have is the best. Once he gets it, he doesn't know how to cherish it. He loved Luo Yingtao madly back then, but they didn't end up together. This is also his heartache. Now that he has money, he feels that he can afford to rekindle their old love with Luo Yingtao. They each get what they want, which is a true reflection of human selfishness."
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place!" Wang Mudan said indignantly, "Si Mingda is where he is today because of my support. What does this have to do with Luo Yingtao?"
"Mudan, we have all seen your devotion to Simingda over the past decade. His success is inseparable from your help. Don't be discouraged. At this point, the first priority is to seize the company's financial power and protect the interests of you and your child. As for the emotional issue, for the sake of the child, as long as he comes back, forgive him. After all, children need fatherly love. No matter how promiscuous he is, as long as he is sincere to the child, it's enough. I have come across so many cases of emotional entanglements. To be honest, there are not many rich men who are loyal to their children. Whether you accept it in your heart or not, this is an objective reality, just like the rain cannot be controlled."
"It makes me sick just thinking about it." Wang Mudan replied angrily.
"Mudan, I understand how you feel. I'm not asking you to suffer any injustice. As mothers, we should consider the interests of our children more. This is a real and realistic issue."
"I understand, but I just can't get over it. Seeing these photos makes me feel as sick as if I'd eaten a fly."
"Mudan, it has already happened. You have to face it calmly. Don't worry too much, and don't work too hard. Take care of your health. Your three children need your care. Don't worry, I will find a suitable opportunity to talk to Simingda and Luo Yingtao separately. This matter cannot be sloppy. Once there is a gap between husband and wife, it is difficult for their relationship to return to the past. I believe that for the sake of the children, Simingda should not go too far."
"Haitang, I was so blind! Why did I fall so deeply in love with him back then?"
Through tearful eyes, Wang Mudan's thoughts returned to her son's hundred-day party a few months ago. That day was supposed to be the happiest day for their family. She never imagined that the party would become a watershed in the fate of her and her child, and also the fuse that brought disaster to her marriage.
One evening more than five months ago, the streets of Nanzhong City were crowded with people and cars. Cars of various models formed a colorful ribbon, winding gracefully on the wide street. The crystal clear neon lights were colorful, decorating Nanzhong City beautifully. Some pedestrians on the street were shopping, while others were strolling leisurely. Everywhere there was singing, laughter and a joyful scene.
The Fengya Hall on the second floor of the Fuhao Hotel in the southern district of Nanzhong City is decorated with dazzling lights. Several big red ribbons and red balloons with various cartoon patterns are hung on the ceiling of the banquet hall. Several huge color photos of cute babies are posted on the walls on both sides of the hall. There are 35 banquet tables in the huge banquet hall. More than 30 waiters are busy shuttling back and forth to add bowls, chopsticks and drinks to the seats. A luxurious 100-day banquet for the birth of a new baby will be held here tonight.
Starting around five in the afternoon, guests began arriving at the hotel. As they registered at the first-floor entrance, they all enthusiastically greeted a middle-aged man and woman standing at the gate.
"Sister Wang, congratulations! You have a son and a daughter!"
"Mr. Si, congratulations! You have a son and a daughter, a successful career, and you're a winner in life!"
