Ye Qingqing was quite surprised. She didn't expect that Song Hongye's marriage would also be such a mess. It really proved the saying that few middle-aged women have an easy life, and they can't even maintain basic dignity.
Song Hongye was relatively lucky; at least on the surface, she appeared respectable and was the envy of other women.
Many women not only have messy lives, but also financial problems. Even in middle age, they can't bear to buy themselves a decent piece of clothing, just like Lu Ziqun in the past. It's really sad.
“It’s good to have control over the finances; money is more reliable than men. But you still need to keep a close eye on him. I don’t think Du Peiran is an irresponsible man,” Ye Qingqing said.
At the last class reunion, she noticed that Du Peiran and Song Hongye seemed to have a good relationship, not like they were having problems.
Song Hongye smiled wryly, "Old Du is incredibly good to me and my parents, especially my parents. They're even more devoted to me than my brothers. If I need anything, I just have to ask, and Old Du will definitely do his best. He's also good to me. He never forgets to give me gifts on our wedding anniversary, birthday, Valentine's Day, and so on. He takes care of both my appearance and my feelings. He's also good to the children. Sometimes when I'm busy, I don't even have time to spend with the children, but he always makes time for them. The children are also very close to him."
Ye Qingqing blinked. This was clearly the epitome of a virtuous and upright man. What did Song Hongye have to complain about?
“Du Peiran has done all these things very well. He is responsible to his family and children, but he just can’t control his philandering ways. That’s what makes me angry with him. He says he’s not really having any serious relationships with those vixens, that he’s just being flirtatious, but I don’t believe him, and neither do my in-laws. That’s why we made Du Peiran put my name as the legal representative of the company. We’re afraid that this scoundrel will be blinded by those vixens and hand over his property.”
Song Hongye gritted her teeth again, her feelings of love and hate for Du Peiran were intertwined. Apart from his womanizing ways, Du Peiran was impeccable as a husband and father. But he had a problem that women hated the most: every time Song Hongye smelled perfume on this bastard, she wanted to take a scalpel and cut off his carotid artery to bleed him out.
"I think you're just showing off. Maybe Lao Du really wasn't serious. It's inevitable that he'd put on an act for his position. Don't even mention him, look at those hypocritical leaders in our school. Humph, they'd be just as promiscuous outside. Their legs would go weak at the sight of a pretty woman. Their faces... I don't even want to talk about them."
Lu Ziqun pursed her lips. She finally understood that men were essentially carnivores.
They crave the bodies of beautiful women. From eighty-year-old men to eighteen-year-old boys, they all like beautiful women. Forget about charming, cute, pure, bright, and lively girls. Girls have different personalities, but there is only one prerequisite for them to be liked: they are beautiful.
Despite having the same personality traits, ugly women and beautiful women receive completely opposite treatment.
An ugly woman's coquettishness only annoys people, while a beautiful woman's coquettishness attracts a swarm of men eager to fawn over her.
Ugly women who are aloof will be abandoned by the world, while beautiful women who are aloof will still have plenty of men to warm their hearts.
An ugly woman pretending to be cute will make men vomit, but a beautiful woman being cute will make men's hearts flutter.
...
This world is full of malice towards women with ordinary looks. As an aside, if a girl has an ordinary appearance, she should try to make her soul interesting, at least she can entertain herself!
(The author is not prejudiced against people based on appearance, because I am just an ordinary person who has suffered from differential treatment. Beautiful women have many advantages in life. If you don't have a beautiful appearance, you can only enrich your soul.)
Qian Manduo nodded, "I don't think Du Peiran lied to you. Besides, you've been holding onto your wallet tightly, so where would he get the money to do all this?"
