Zhong Yi'an looked at Cheng Yize with some surprise, and after a while, he shook his head helplessly.
Cheng Yize, not hearing his agreement, was equally surprised: "What's wrong, brother? Do you think I'm wrong?"
Zhong Yi'an's tone remained quite normal: "Brother, you may not be aware of my family relationship with my wife. I can't control her."
"How could you not be able to discipline her? She's incredibly lucky to have married you."
Zhong Yi'an was even more helpless: "Brother, didn't you already hear that? Her family's assets are about the same as mine. Our marriage is a business arrangement, not a case of marrying up or down. Our status has always been very equal, so how could I possibly discipline her?"
When Zhong Yi'an mentioned assets, Cheng Yize's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
He had known for a long time that Zhong Yi'an was a second-generation rich kid with assets worth hundreds of billions, enough for ordinary people to only dream of.
Even if he earns a million a year, he can only earn 100 million in a hundred years.
In a sense, his politeness towards Zhong Yi'an these past few days was an attempt to curry favor with the wealthy.
However, he could barely accept the wealth that Zhong Yi'an possessed.
Jiang Tian was completely unable to accept it.
After all, this woman lived too arrogantly and recklessly.
Cheng Yize was pampered and spoiled by his family from a young age.
Fortunately, he wasn't spoiled. He went to a prestigious university, became a graduate of a top-tier institution, and landed a job at a large corporation, earning an annual salary of one million.
Not only that, he married a highly educated and beautiful only daughter from the city, and they had a son and a daughter, and bought a house in the big city.
His resume is brilliant, and his life has been smooth sailing.
In his life, the advantages that his gender brought him were so great that he found it difficult to accept that other genders were living better lives than him.
It's fine if you can't see them, but if you do see them, you'll just feel incredibly frustrated.
Jiang Tian is undoubtedly a representative of this group.
It was obvious to the naked eye that she lived a more carefree life than him.
Moreover, she did not experience the pain of childbirth that women endure; she did not even have children.
This nonchalant attitude made him increasingly disgusted with the woman.
Cheng Yize's least favorite female guest on the show was her.
He originally intended to put some pressure on Zhong Yi'an, to stop him from indulging his wife's nonsense and misbehavior.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Yi'an's answer to him was that she couldn't control it.
“She said she has many children, and each child is entitled to a share of the inheritance. She probably won’t get much, right?” Cheng Yize asked tentatively.
Zhong Yi'an's eyes showed even more helplessness.
He looked at Cheng Yize for a long time before slowly saying, "Jiang Tian's parents were not very strict with her, and they didn't take good care of her in life, but they definitely treated all their children equally. She had a trust fund from a young age, her parents invested for her very early on, her grandfather was also very good to her, and she received the most dowry among the younger generation."
"Moreover, when the two families got married, there was a very large project involved, and a portion of the funding from that project went to her. If you really want to calculate it, she might be richer than me."
Zhong Yi'an plans to give up inheriting the group and enter the entertainment industry. He has also transferred some of his shares to Jiang Tian, and perhaps her personal assets will surpass his in the future.
"But she is a woman."
Zhong Yi'an was even more helpless: "So what if she's a girl? They have a lot of children. Who gets the most favor is all based on their own abilities. Jiang Tian is currently the most favored child in the family. Her gender won't affect her inheritance. On the contrary, it will garner her more sympathy."
Cheng Yize fell silent, his expression visibly dejected.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhong Yi'an began to tidy up her bed.
He really doesn't understand this kind of person.
He really couldn't understand Cheng Yize's thought process.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Yi'an didn't want to communicate with the other party much, but Cheng Yize wouldn't let him off the hook.
"You're married now, haven't you thought about disciplining her properly? She's your wife. If she's always ruining your reputation and making you lose face in public, shouldn't you say something to her?"
"Jiang Tian is recognized as a good wife and good lady in our family. I don't need to say anything to her. She can easily take on the responsibilities of a wealthy lady."
Cheng Yize was even more displeased. He looked at Zhong Yi'an with disapproval: "I think your words are somewhat biased. From any perspective, your wife is not a virtuous wife and loving mother in the conventional sense. She is lazy and doesn't even know how to do housework. What kind of glory can such a person gain?"
Zhong Yi'an stopped what she was doing and looked at Cheng Yize.
"Brother, it seems like you haven't figured out something."
"What is it?" Cheng Yize asked instinctively.
Zhong Yi'an stated a fact in a very calm tone: "The family environment in which Jiang Tian and I live does not require us to do extra housework. The necessity of maintaining my marital relationship with her lies in whether she can coordinate interpersonal relationships in all aspects and bring a better image and reputation to our family. From the very beginning, she has driven a major cooperation project between our two families, which has made our family make billions. She is already a hero."
"Perhaps you're not from that kind of environment and don't quite understand what she represents. All I can say is that Jiang Tian's status and position determine that she doesn't need to do the most basic housework. In fact, if she really had a child, the subsidies from both families would be enough for that child to become a winner in life from birth. Jiang Tian is a rich heiress, a true heiress, and she doesn't need to tolerate anyone."
Zhong Yi'an's explanation was detailed enough.
But his explanation made Cheng Yize's face turn red, and his expression became extremely distorted.
“Brother, although I’m not one of those rich kids, I still own a car and a house in a first-tier city. I’m a high-level executive earning millions a year, and I have a virtuous wife, healthy children, and loving parents. I don’t think I lack anything compared to you. My family relationships have always been very good, which is why I want to use my experience to guide you and help you improve your family relationships as well.”
Zhong Yi'an couldn't help but want to laugh.
He didn't know what use the other party's guidance would be to him; as things stood, it was useless.
Cheng Yize continued rambling: "But you keep siding with your wife. What's going on in your relationship? Are you getting a divorce?"
Zhong Yi'an said very objectively: "I can't be her husband, but I won't slander her. Jiang Tian is an excellent person. She doesn't fit the traditional definition of a wife, but as you can see, she didn't become a good wife in other people's eyes. Instead, she lives a very happy life."
"Brother Cheng, your most important problem is changing your perception of family. Your wife is indeed a good wife and a good woman in other people's eyes, but you rarely see the grievances she suffers. I can't advise you on what to do, and please don't advise me either."
