Chapter 829: Ten Years of Marriage
The conflict between Chen Lu and Su Xiaoxi started three years ago.
At that time, Su Xiaoxi was already doing very well at Tenghui Capital and had a great reputation around the world.
After leaving the Dream Fund, Chen Lu has been slowly running his own small investment company.
The dispute over careers was not the origin of their conflict.
Being apart from each other more often is only one aspect, the main reason is that Chen Lu met Chen Xi again three years ago.
Unlike Su Xiaoxi, Shen Xi doesn't have much ambition for her career. She is more interested in her hobbies and enjoying life.
This may be related to the different experiences the two had growing up. Chen Xi was born as a little princess in a wealthy family and has never had to worry about food and clothing since childhood.
Naturally, I don't have much ambition.
She has been pursuing her music career over the years, and she is good at dancing, piano and even drums.
She also has a unique talent in singing. Ten years later, she has become a household name in the national music goddess.
Both her appearance and temperament are unique.
Compared with those top-tier actresses in the past, she is not inferior at all, and is even much better.
Chen Xi and Chen Lu met again at a music party. At that time, she was already the most famous talent in the second-generation circle, and the most beautiful and richest person in the music circle.
For others, any of these halos of hers would be an unattainable dream.
Not to mention that it was concentrated on her alone.
Chen Lu was naturally very happy to meet her again.
In the hearts of most men, the one who doesn’t get it is the most restless.
Even though Chen Xi was pushed away by him in the beginning.
Chen Lu gradually discovered a fact: his spiritual needs were different from Su Xiaoxi's.
There is even great differentiation.
Chen Lu enjoys life more and is not very career-oriented. His father is a mountain that he can never overcome.
His two sisters could put a lot of pressure on him, so he rarely attended those so-called business cocktail parties, and he didn't like to show off in the circle of rich second-generations.
Su Xiaoxi is different. She has been pursuing her career over the years, even when she was pregnant with her second child.
Less than a month after giving birth, she went to Hong Kong again and stayed there for ten days or half a month without coming back.
This made Chen Lu feel the serious differences between husband and wife, and even caused great differences in their spiritual needs.
The two of them started to quarrel more and more in their daily lives, and Chen Lu no longer told Su Xiaoxi everything.
Whenever Su Xiaoxi talked to him about her favorite career, Chen Lu would immediately cut off the topic or leave impatiently.
He doesn't like to talk about his career, mainly because he hasn't achieved much in this area.
Even compared to his wife, it is still a huge gap.
This made Chen Lu feel that he and Shen Xi had more common topics to talk about.
The two met frequently after the cocktail party. At first, Su Xiaoxi didn't care, but as time went on, the couple began to quarrel.
Su Xiaoxi, who was once envied by a generation of young women, eventually developed a huge emotional rift within ten years of her marriage.
It is difficult for Chen Pingsheng to fill this rift.
It is also completely different from the ordinary people's way of living by hitchhiking and making do with everything.
Rich people have more choices and can move on to the next one at any time once they think the current relationship has broken down.
This is the main reason why the divorce rate is higher in more prosperous cities.
Even Song Yanxi, who had always supported Chen Xi in the early days, now turned around and asked her to have less contact with her son.
Chen Lu is already married and has two children, and Song Yanxi is now clearly supporting Su Xiaoxi.
If Chen Lu dared to be that scumbag and try to two-timing someone, she would scold him so much that his only son would doubt his life.
Her family would not allow this to happen. Just like before, the more they pushed him, the more he would rebound.
In wealthy families' marriages, problems generally have nothing to do with money. It's either because one party is physically unfaithful or mentally unfaithful.
Now Chen Lu is on the verge of mental infidelity.
He has never been able to understand Su Xiaoxi. After marrying into a family like theirs, is there still need for her to work so hard?
I still can't empathize with her. Judging from Su Xiaoxi's growth path, she has always been extremely grateful over the years.
Anyone in the Chen family can see this kind of grateful attitude.
Su Xiaoxi wants to repay Chen Lu's father through her own efforts, and also wants to prove through her own efforts that the Chen family did not make the wrong choice in choosing her as the daughter-in-law.
She worked so hard to make money.
The only one who couldn't understand was probably Chen Lu, because Su Xiaoxi had always neglected her family during her struggle.
He was often busy with contracts or work until late, so Chen Wuyou and his second son were left on Jingyan Island to be taken care of by his grandfather Chen Pingsheng.
Su Xiaoxi spent all her rest time accompanying Chen Lu, but unfortunately it was far from enough.
The inability to balance work and family not only happens in ordinary families, but also in wealthy families like theirs.
Because of these reasons, the couple had many problems in their relationship.
The most important thing is Chen Lu. He did betray his promise to Su Xiaoxi.
As for Chen Xi, she just regarded Chen Lu as a friend. When she met him for the second time and found out that he was married, she would not have any thoughts.
Now it was Chen Lu who was chasing her everywhere.
This made Song Yanxi very angry, and she almost chased after her son and beat him up.
Among the three people in the family, the only one who has no emotional problems is probably Erya and Chen Xinyi.
She is a typical woman who wants children but not a father, and no one can break her anti-marriage stance.
No matter where she puts her child, no one dares to scold the fatherless child.
Erya loves freedom very much and doesn't like to be bound by anyone. Her talent is not limited to investment. In her opinion, rich men will cheat sooner or later, and there are not many people like her father in the world.
If that’s the case, why get married?
Even his younger brother, who had been his childhood sweetheart and refused to be separated from him no matter what, and whose parents’ objections were futile, still chose to have an emotional affair when he was approaching thirty.
Men, you really can't trust the vows they made when they were young.
Chen Lu’s incident caused a lot of controversy in the family, but no one could do anything to change anything.
Relationships are something that need to be managed by both parties together. Once one party doesn't want to manage it well, the relationship will be ruined.
The other party will either try every possible way to cater to and win back the relationship.
Or you can be a more generous daughter-in-law of a wealthy family and just turn a blind eye.
At least more than 90% of wealthy daughters-in-law do this.
No matter what a man does outside, as long as he doesn't bring women home and doesn't have illegitimate children outside, just pretend nothing happened.
Chen Pingsheng couldn't be sure whether Su Xiaoxi would go this far.
But he knew one thing: the more he pressured Chen Lu to turn around, the stronger his resistance would be.
It would be better to do nothing and let them solve it themselves.
This is also helpless!
