After being bombarded with displays of affection, the men felt a pang of nostalgia. They had all been young once, and of course, they had experienced love. Although it wasn't as romantic as the young people's love stories today, it was still a sweet and tender love, bittersweet, innocent and naive. Youth, like hawthorn berries, is gone forever.
The once fresh and innocent daughter-in-law has now become a sallow-faced woman with thick shoulders and a chubby waist. She snores louder than they do at night, and her waist is thicker than theirs. To be honest, she is really not good-looking. She is not as attractive as a young girl. Mr. Zhang and his friends do not think that they are wrong to keep mistresses.
That is to say, the law now stipulates monogamy, otherwise they would definitely bring women from outside into their homes as concubines openly. It is normal for a man to take a concubine to reward himself when he becomes successful and wealthy.
But a wife who has shared hardships cannot be abandoned. Although the feelings of youth are gone, there is still kinship. What's more, she has borne them children and taken care of the whole family's needs. When times were tough, she worked hard with them without complaint. Now that they have become successful, they naturally cannot do anything heartless.
The wife who helped him conquer the country is undoubtedly the one he assisted, but he also seeks out mistresses and concubines outside, just for fun and entertainment. His wife can't satisfy his needs, so it's understandable that he spends money to find younger women outside.
Before this, Mr. Zhang and his colleagues all thought the same way. They didn't feel that they had hurt their wives who had shared their hardships. At least compared to other heartless scumbags who abandoned their wives and children, they were already very conscientious and responsible towards their families. Although they couldn't be considered model good men who embodied the five virtues and four beauties, they were still responsible good husbands and good fathers.
But after hearing Lu Mo's words, they were somewhat shocked. Who among them wasn't a couple who had gone through thick and thin together? Yet they had long been sleeping in the same bed but dreaming different dreams, and even living in separate rooms.
They are less like husband and wife and more like cohabiting partners, maintaining a facade of respectability to avoid being laughed at by others.
"Mr. Lu and his wife have such a good relationship, even more inseparable than a couple deeply in love. It's truly enviable!" Mrs. Qian exclaimed with deep emotion, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
She and her husband hadn't sat down for a meal together in a long time. If it weren't for her mother-in-law's illness, she probably wouldn't have even gone home and would have stayed with her lover. Mrs. Qian even knew where her lover lived and had seen her, but she didn't want to make a scene. If she chased one away, another would come along. She couldn't get rid of them all.
She used to make a fuss, feeling resentful, but now she's come to terms with it. She's not the best off, but she's not the worst off either. Compared to those who were abandoned, her husband, Old Qian, is still a man of conscience. At least he preserved her dignity in the end. Outside, she's still the Mrs. Qian that everyone envies, and no one dares to look down on her.
“You two are such a loving couple, come and eat,” Lu Mo said.
Director Xie lowered his head regretfully, knowing that he would definitely not be able to get the beauty. He had long heard that Lu Mo's wife had a relationship with Sang Huaiyuan. If it weren't for the powerful backing of Sang Huaiyuan, Lu Mo's company would not have been able to develop so quickly. Sang Huaiyuan was about to be transferred to Kyoto, and he dared not confront him directly. Fortunately, beauties were everywhere, so he was still able to think it through.
During the meal, Mr. Qian kept asking Ye Qingqing about medical treatment. He was not very confident in Qian Manduo's medical skills. He only had one mother, and what if something happened to her? He couldn't afford to take such a risk!
Ye Qingqing was getting impatient. "Mr. Qian, there's really no need to be so anxious. My classmate performs dozens of craniotomies every year. Your mother's case is easier than cutting a watermelon in his eyes. Of course, I can't say the surgery will be 100% successful. No doctor in the world can guarantee a 100% success rate. But if you still don't trust my classmate, then there's no doctor you can trust."
