"If that's the case, I don't recommend you two get married without a solid emotional foundation. Wasn't your parents' marriage a business one? I think you should absolutely abhor such a thing. Besides, what if one day you or Arlene meet the person you want to spend your life with? For your or her true love, you'll inevitably hurt each other."
"So if you only think the other person's character is compatible and your interests align, and deep down you actually long for love, why don't you stay where you are for now and think clearly about what's most important before deciding whether to get married?"
In their previous life, these two people weighed the pros and cons and entered the marriage hall.
They had some interactions before marriage, and lived a respectful life after marriage, and soon had a baby.
After the baby was born, one loved freedom and traveled around the world, while the other loved work and stayed at the company all day.
Gu Yanlin, who loves freedom, met Yun Zhongke, a photographer with a strong artistic atmosphere, while chasing the wind.
A workaholic, during a lecture at Ocean University, ran into Ju Xiaomei, a celebrity-chasing girl. Ju Xiaomei had already left the university, but upon hearing that a legendary figure, Zhu, was coming back to give a lecture, she took time off and drove several times to attend the lecture.
Who knew it was too late? She didn't see anyone, and she couldn't help but sit in a secluded corner by the lake and cry.
After Zhu Haoze finished his speech, he declined the itinerary arranged by the school and walked around the campus alone.
So, by coincidence, Zhu Haoze met Ju Xiaomei.
As a result, the little girl cried because she failed to chase her idol, and the star in the little girl's eyes was Zhu Haoze himself.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.
At that time, I just thought this girl was so cute.
How can there be such a lovely girl in the world?
Zhu Haoze invited the little girl to dinner and said there would be a surprise later.
Ju Xiaomei was having trouble at work, so she sat on campus and cried, and then she felt much better.
Another handsome guy invited her to dinner, and she instantly smiled brightly.
"How can you just go with a stranger?" Zhu Haoze was afraid that the girl wouldn't go with him, and he was still trying to find a reason to make himself look less of a bad guy. But the girl accepted his invitation without hesitation, and he was dissatisfied again. She was too easy to deceive.
"I know you are not a bad person." Ju Xiaomei's eyes were still wet with tears, and her eyes looked as if they had been washed, innocent and ignorant.
"Bad people don't write the word bad on their faces, so the little girl should still be on guard." Zhu Haoze said earnestly. He had never spoken so gently to his children at home.
After a few interactions, the two became familiar with each other.
Later, Zhu Haoze directly arranged Ju Xiaomei to work in a friend's company.
The romance between Gu Yanlin and Yun Zhongke was soon exposed, mainly because Gu Yanlin felt that she no longer needed to maintain a superficial love and harmony since she had already given birth to a legitimate child.
She had Yun Zhongke, and Zhu Haoze also fell in love with Ju Xiaomei. That was a good opportunity for them to enjoy their own lives without interfering with each other. Of course, the bulk of the family business would fall to her son, and the other mistresses, sorry, would have to rely on the leftovers.
Zhu Haoze could not accept such a marriage and wanted to divorce. He fell in love with Ju Xiaomei and wanted to give her a decent life.
Gu Yanlin firmly disagreed. They could have their own fun, but divorce was not an option.
As long as she is still Mrs. Zhu, she will have a source of pocket money every month.
After she got married, the Gu family no longer covered her expenses. She loved seeking excitement every year, and all that cost money. Now she had to cover most of her boyfriend Yun Zhongke's expenses, and she couldn't survive without Zhu Haoze.
You can't just find another old man to marry, right?
I didn't want to before, and I don't want to now.
What's more, she gave birth to a son for Zhu Haoze, who would be the heir of the Zhu family.
The Gu family would not allow other children with the surname Zhu to steal anything from the grandson of the Gu family's bloodline.
Zhu Haoze has been accustomed to the discord between his parents since he was a child. Although he has feelings for Ju Xiaomei, he has not done anything out of line during his marriage with Gu Yanlin and has always restrained himself.
This marriage must be divorced, Zhu Haoze has the evidence of Gu Yanlin's infidelity in his hand.
Gu Yanlin had no choice but to settle for the second best. In the name of giving her son a complete home, she parted ways with Yun Zhongke and returned to her family.
Zhu Haoze thought of his bad childhood experiences and reluctantly agreed.
Next, Zhu Haoze began to suffer the hardship of being monitored and checked on by Gu Yanlin on a daily basis.
He really couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't know why the woman who advocated freedom had become so hideous.
In the end, he agreed to a divorce and, for the sake of their child, gave Gu Yanlin 100 million yuan as compensation. If Gu Yanlin didn't find another partner, Zhu Haoze would still have to cover her living expenses.
Gu Yanlin was the one who cheated on her husband, and he was determined to divorce her. No matter how unwilling she was, she had no choice but to let him go. But she secretly brainwashed her children, saying that Ju Xiaomei was the one who knew the truth and was destroying their family.
The child is young, and Zhu Haoze usually doesn't pay much attention to him.
The teachings from his mother planted the seeds of hatred in the child's young heart.
The money in Gu Yanlin's hands was quickly squandered within three years. When Yun Zhongke saw that Gu Yanlin had no money, he quickly abandoned her. Who would want to serve the young lady without money!
Gu Yanlin, who had no money, was soon married to a 70-year-old man under the arrangement of the Gu family. She had money to spend but no freedom.
The old man is very strict, and his new wife is young and has a good family, but she is still not content.
It doesn't matter. He can keep people at home with a little tricks. It's a small matter.
