Chapter 28 She and I still have to get along
Mrs. Xie still smiled and praised, "Ting Huan, you really are an actress. Although you are not famous yet, you have already learned the essence of the actor's ability to figure out men's thoughts. I believe that in three to five years, you will definitely be a household name."
Ye Tinghuan took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for your praise, Madam. Tinghuan will definitely live up to your expectations."
When she becomes a big name in the entertainment industry, she will pay back the humiliation she suffered today a hundredfold.
Mrs. Xie's tone became lighter. "You and I are just unrelated people. You should live up to your parents, yourself, and the audience who love you. You are only in your twenties, you are beautiful, and you have a bright future. You can be independent and become a role model for women to inspire. Don't be cursed and ruin your career because of your own confusion. In the end, you will lose both your wealth and your life, and then you can't live anymore and blame God for being unfair to you."
"That's enough!" Xie Jingcheng put down his chopsticks, "Mom, you said you wanted to invite Huanhuan to dinner, but you started to criticize and humiliate her with sharp words as soon as she came in. Isn't that beneath your dignity?"
Mrs. Xie stopped pretending and snorted, "We are all human beings for the first time, and we are all equal. If you must say what my status is, it is that I am your mother, Lili's mother-in-law. The mistress who destroyed my son has come to my house, and my daughter-in-law's face is about to be crushed by her. You, a useless bastard, don't protect her, and I can't vent my anger for my daughter-in-law?"
"Huan Huan is not a mistress, she is my savior. It is not easy for a girl to support a family. Mom, please don't mistreat her anymore."
"Heh..." Mrs. Xie said as if she had heard an incredible joke. "Is her hardship caused by me? You? Or my daughter-in-law? It was caused by her original family! Even if she saved your life, didn't you give her money, introduce her to directors and investors? To put it bluntly, if it weren't for you, her mother's illness would have never been treated, and she might have passed away long ago.
Originally, if she had been content, she would have been able to enjoy wealth and glory in her life, but unfortunately she was too stupid and too greedy..."
As for Ye Tinghuan's little schemes that cannot be made public, they are all left over from the fun they had when they were young.
Xie Jingcheng suddenly lost his temper.
"You let Jiang Xianli marry me, wasn't it because she saved your life? Your savior is indifferent to fame and fortune, kind-hearted and sensible, while my savior is stupid, greedy, scheming and immoral? Is what you said reasonable?
You threatened to commit suicide, so I abandoned my savior and married your savior. Do you know how sad and guilty I felt?
You also promised me that you would never ask about my affairs again, what are you doing now? Are you slapping yourself in the face?"
He had never intended to marry Ye Tinghuan before, but his mother forced him to marry Jiang Xianli just because Jiang Xianli had saved her, sacrificing her own son's lifelong happiness.
He felt a little unbalanced. He didn't marry his own lifesaver, but married his mother's lifesaver. The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.
"Do you think I want to ask you about these disgusting things? She has come to my house to provoke my daughter-in-law. If I don't show up, she will think I'm dead! I don't care what you do outside, but you can't bring her home!"
"Do you know why she came to our house? She came to apologize to Jiang Xianli."
"Haha..." Mrs. Xie was so angry that she laughed. "You are so stupid that you can't see through her tricks. To be honest, I was wrong at the beginning. How could a blind thing like you be worthy of my Lili? You should have been with Ye Tinghuan. You were cheated and tortured to death by her. Give my Lili 100,000 yuan in compensation, and you two can get a divorce tomorrow. I will allow you to marry Ye Tinghuan."
When Ye Tinghuan heard this, she was immediately overjoyed.
She knew that Xie Jingcheng could definitely afford one hundred thousand.
But she still had to pretend, with tears in her eyes and a soft voice, "Ah Cheng, I know how you feel about me, but I don't want you to have any rift with your biological mother, and I don't want to see others scold you for being ungrateful. As long as I can be with you, I don't care about any status, you... don't have to divorce Xianli..."
"What?" Xie Jingcheng was really confused. "Well, Huanhuan, I think you misunderstood. I am only grateful to you, not romantically involved. If I liked you, I would never let you be my lover. Besides... I... I don't have 100,000 yuan. Jiang Xianli and I can't afford to divorce. For the time being, we have to... get along."
When he said the last sentence, he didn't even realize that his anger had mostly disappeared, and even the corners of his lips were slightly raised.
