Little did they know that after getting to know each other and spending a long time together, everyone discovered that beneath Xue Yirou's outward appearance lay arrogance, spoiled selfishness, and narrow-mindedness.
Not only is she ruthless and reckless, but she is also narrow-minded and believes in the principle of "those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish." She enjoys being fawned over and cannot tolerate anyone disobeying her.
She's a spoiled rich girl.
Regardless, both families are top-tier powerful and influential. The marriage is no longer just a matter between the two individuals, but involves both families, and even everything that the two individuals represent.
Divorce is not something that can be easily arranged.
Besides, even if some of Xue Yirou's bad habits are exposed, only her family knows about them.
Outside, she still managed to put on a very good act, maintaining the facade of a proper matriarch, without causing any trouble for the Yu family or losing her dignity.
So the Yu family turned a blind eye, and over the years, they got by peacefully.
But now...
No one expected that Xue Yirou harbored such deep resentment.
She even resented that Yu Weilan hadn't given her romantic love, nor any sweet words or passionate moments.
This is no longer a matter of temperament or personality, but a clash of values and pursuits.
The fact that Yu Weilan and Xue Yirou want different things has become serious.
This is not a problem that can be solved by simply getting to know each other and being tolerant of one another.
Xue Yirou's face flushed red and then turned pale as she was told this. She was also a little scared and felt a sense of crisis because Yu Weilan had not given her any face for the first time and had laid everything bare.
While remaining vigilant, reason gradually returned to my mind.
Xue Yirou's face gradually turned pale, her facial expression slowly returning. Heartbroken, her eyes red and teary, she looked sadly at Yu Weilan.
Her appearance, her expression, her demeanor, combined with her stunningly beautiful face, created a poignant and heartbreaking beauty, captivating and alluring, yet also possessing a unique charm that evoked tenderness and pity.
"You actually insulted me? Why did I react like that? Wasn't it because you made me angry?"
“I know that as the matriarch of the Yu family, I should take on responsibilities and set a good example, but I am also a human being. I was also pampered by my parents and brothers at home. After marrying you, you are my family, and I also want the care and love of my family.”
"Besides, I suddenly lost my cultivation. I was afraid. That desperate fear made me lose my mind and say things that hurt you and myself. Do you think I felt good about that?"
"I'm devoted to you with all my heart, and you're the only one in my heart and eyes. I know that before we got married, you laid it all out with me. You didn't lie to me, and I promised you that I would accept everything and that I didn't care."
"But that's because I really love you and want to marry you."
“Over the years, I have tried my best to be a good housewife, working hard for you and for this family, and I have never lost face in public or embarrassed you.”
"All I want is for you to hug me, comfort me, cherish me, show me some care, and say some sweet words to coax me when I'm feeling desperate and scared, so that I won't be so afraid."
Xue Yirou became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and tears streamed down her face like pearls, just like a sky full of stars. Coupled with her fragile and sad expression, it was simply amazing.
Jin Shangyue is a woman; one can't help but feel pity for her, let alone a man.
Yu Weilan's cold expression softened slightly.
"Okay, I know. I haven't been caring enough about you. You were really scared by what happened today."
Yu Weilan stepped forward, patted Xue Yirou on the back, and hugged her.
Her tone softened slightly, offering a reassuring assurance: "Don't worry, I will definitely find the murderer and make him pay a heavy price."
"When we catch them, you can handle them yourself, do whatever you want with them."
Xue Yirou lowered her eyes, still sad and heartbroken, but she didn't cause any more trouble.
Instead, she leaned against Yu Weilan, clinging to him tightly and acting coquettishly.
"If you had comforted me like this earlier, I wouldn't have vented my fear and talked nonsense."
"You have no idea, I regretted those words as soon as they left my mouth. I understand you. We've been married for so many years, how could I really blame you?"
"You have kept everything you promised me before we got married, and you have been loyal to me. I am actually grateful to you, happy and joyful."
Yu Weilan gently patted Xue Yirou's back and said, "I know, I will try to be more careful in the future. It was my fault this time."
Xue Yirou burst into laughter through her tears, her laughter gentle and beautiful, like a lotus flower blooming after the rain—elegant, poetic, and pleasing to the eye.
Upon seeing this, Yu Weilan's cold and hard heart softened a little.
Even though he knew it was just Xue Yirou's little trick.
But such a beautiful, charming, and sweet-talking woman is still his wife. Unless there is a truly desperate situation and no way back, what man could bear to continue blaming her?
Unless it's a real decision to part ways.
Otherwise, as long as life goes on, they'll go along with it, give each other a way out, and that's enough.
Yu Shiwei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xue Yirou had coaxed Yu Weilan so quickly, and once again admired her godmother's methods.
Dealing with men definitely requires some skill.
Even a cold-blooded man like Yu Weilan softened under Xue Yirou's gentleness and coquettishness.
While it wasn't quite as soft as silk, it wasn't as hard as iron either.
The rest of the Yu family, used to this, breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, the situation didn't escalate further.
