"Oh"
Father Wang sneered, "Xiao Mei! Always calling her Xiao Mei! I'm not satisfied with Leng's daughter-in-law, but I'm even more dissatisfied with You."
"Why?! Father! You were the one who agreed to my marriage with Xiaomei! Why are you saying this now?!"
The father stood with his hands behind his back, his face extremely cold and indifferent.
"Why did I agree back then? Hmph, it's all because her surname is You. With the You family's support, the profits on my Wang family's dock business will be even greater."
"This is also an important reason why I agreed to your marriage to Ms. You. However, after she divorced her ex-husband, who was a lieutenant general in the army, the You family severed ties with her."
"Not only that, our Wang family has also incurred the wrath of her ex-husband's family because of her. Even the You family looks down on us."
“You Shi has brought absolutely no benefit to our Wang family. What use is such a daughter-in-law? Not only that, she has also brought such a crisis to our Wang family.”
"She's a jinx, how can you expect me to like her? Although Leng Shi is also useless, she's honest and reliable, which makes her the most suitable woman for you."
After hearing his father's words, Wang Zhenliang felt as if his entire worldview had been shattered, and he fell into a deep sleep.
He never imagined that his father would agree to his divorce from Leng Shi and eventually marry Xiao Mei.
There are so many considerations involved.
He thought it was just that his father respected him as his son.
Wang Zhenliang's smile was extremely desolate; how could he have forgotten?
His father forced him to marry Lady Leng.
How could such a person be a democratic father?
He was being too optimistic!
He only knew how to read books before, and he had no idea about the intricacies of the business world.
Even now, he still doesn't understand!
He found these conspiracies disgusting.
Leave the Wang family!
He wants to leave the Wang family!
Stay away from these disgusting things.
He only wanted to live with Xiao Mei, to live for her, for his poetry, and for his words!
As Wang's father was leaving, he sarcastically said to Wang Zhenliang, "Do you think your current wife is so great? While you're kneeling in the ancestral hall, she's out there busy dealing with the upper echelons of Jiangcheng."
"Using her identity as the young mistress of the Wang family, she attended banquets all over Jiangcheng, hoping to get to know more high-society people."
"Don't forget, before she married you, she was a well-known socialite in Jiangcheng. If she had even a shred of love for you as her husband, she probably wouldn't have done this."
"Wang Zhenliang, let me warn you, don't leave the Wang family and get played by a woman again. Ha, you won't be coming back then! I don't have a useless son like you!"
"Enough! Father, if your own heart is dark, don't think such things of others—"
"Smack!"
Wang's father was so angry that his face turned pale. "You unfilial son, then get out of the Wang family and never come back!"
"good!"
That very day, under the watchful eyes of Wang's mother, whose eyes were nearly blinded by tears, Wang Zhenliang resolutely left the Wang family with You Mei.
He still had a lot of money that the Queen Mother had given him, and he was in a high-end building complex.
I spent a lot of money to rent a valuable detached apartment.
Here, he and You Mei finally settled down.
In the beginning, he and You Mei lived a life that was like that of a perfect couple.
Yu Mei provides him with countless inspirations for his creative work at home; she is his muse!
He submitted his articles, and the royalties he earned were quite substantial.
Gradually, she gained fame, and her royalties increased.
Wang Zhenliang felt that the days after leaving the Wang family were like a dream.
But after a while, he discovered...
Even if he wrote day and night, he still couldn't earn enough money to support You Mei's eating, drinking, and entertainment.
The family had a lot of money, but most of it was spent on buying new cosmetics and various designer clothes for You Mei.
The remaining portion was also used to pay rent.
He never made a new set of clothes after leaving the Wang family.
Every time I attend a banquet, I wear the same few suits, even after going through several different places.
Looking at the suits other people were wearing, he even wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Over time, he stopped enjoying attending those banquets.
He even thought about what it would be like if he didn't have to pay rent.
The remaining money will also be squandered by You Mei.
They've argued about this countless times.
But each time, he compromised because of his love for You Mei.
But the mundane realities of life, like rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea, will wear away this love.
The love that was worn away wasn't just his for You Mei, but also for the time You Mei spent with him.
They argued about money again.
The argument was sparked by the fact that Wang's mother had been found out by Wang's father about supporting him, and that Wang's father had completely forbidden him from giving her any more money.
His source of income has once again diminished, which is why he feels they need to live a frugal life even more.
However, after agreeing, You Mei continued to spend money extravagantly as before.
Wang Zhenliang simply couldn't accept it!
He has been experiencing a severe lack of inspiration lately due to financial matters.
Even if I sit at my desk all day, I can't write more than a few words.
He's being driven crazy by this kind of life!
After a big argument, he accidentally pushed You Mei down the stairs.
And just like that, his and You Mei's first child was lost.
This was the first major calamity in their marriage.
Wang Zhenliang knelt countless times and pleaded countless times before You Mei finally forgave him.
That's why he cared even more about You Mei.
He needs money; he needs money to maintain this marriage.
He had long forgotten that a marriage that needs money to maintain is never a real marriage.
At this point, their love had been reduced to a few fragile threads that clung to them like lotus roots.
Wang Zhenliang kept forcing himself to write articles.
Since the quality wasn't as high as before, he simply increased the quantity.
He just wants money, he just wants more money?
This was also the true low point in the life of Wang Zhenliang, the great poet, in the eyes of later generations.
His manuscripts from that time were described by later historians as "completely unreadable".
His overly repressive life made him need to vent.
Therefore, he often wrote letters to Zhang Jia'ai, his "soulmate" whom he had met while studying abroad.
Speaking of which, there's a story between him and Zhang Jia'ai.
They almost got together.
However, Zhang Jia'ai was more rational and did not marry him recklessly like You Mei.
Although they weren't together, that didn't stop them from becoming friends.
Even though he had already married her fiancé, Lü Wei, at this time.
He also had a second wife, You Mei, by his side.
These letters were discovered by You Mei.
It became the final spark that destroyed their fragile marriage.
Their marriage was as short-lived as fireworks.
It only took half a year in total.
This was only three months after Wang Zhenliang left the Wang family.
The king's father's words unexpectedly came true.
