With a seed of doubt planted, Leng Minghui always felt that Lin Shiwan had a pretentious air about her, and was far inferior to Xia Baozhu.
The more he compared, the more he felt he was blind, and he became picky about Lin Shiwan in every way, and he was no longer as generous with money as before.
Lin Shiwan's complaints only reminded him of Xia Baozhu's initial indifference to everything, making him think that Lin Shiwan was greedy and vulgar.
He had heard a lot about what Xia Baozhu had done and had seen many of her chain stores.
To support her, he arranged for all the boxed meals at his construction sites to be ordered from Xia Baozhu's chain stores, which were clean, affordable, and delicious.
He learned about her every move through her employees, and he saw her intelligence and kindness. His love for her grew stronger every day.
After seeing a woman with eyes that looked exactly like hers, he impulsively took her as his mistress.
Once there's an initial impulse, there's a second and a third; every woman has something in common with Xia Baozhu.
For him, the money spent on supporting these women was less than the price of a few designer handbags from Lin Shiwan. It was a bargain, and more importantly, it relieved his lovesickness.
His laptop contained Xia Baozhu's magazine photos and advertisements from over the years, as well as all the movies she had acted in.
Faced with a dazzling array of beautiful women that he could only look at but not touch, Leng Minghui began to use money to encourage his lovers to get plastic surgery to resemble Xia Baozhu. He would give a large sum of money to whoever looked the most like her.
Lin Shiwan was furious when she learned of Leng Minghui's actions. When Leng Minghui made it clear that he had had enough of her pretentious face, Lin Shiwan went to get plastic surgery in a fit of anger.
What she has gained now is far from enough; she wants to continue to win Leng Minghui's heart until she gets what she wants.
When the time comes, she'll be free to roam the world, she'll get a divorce, and live a carefree life. Finding different young men every day is much better than staying with an old hag like Leng Minghui.
Xia Baozhu applauded the transformation of Leng Minghui and Lin Shiwan, once a loving couple, into bitter, estranged lovers who shared a bed but not a dream. However, she wouldn't pay much attention to it.
Her time is precious; she has to balance work and family.
Taking care of the family doesn't mean having her do housework; it means having time to spend with her family.
Especially her son, since he started school, she can only see him once in the morning and once in the evening. She often has things to do at night, and by the time she gets home, her child is already asleep.
So her son is very attached to her. Sometimes he cries and doesn't want to go to school because he misses his mother. Xia Baozhu suggests taking him out to play on the weekend, and then he goes to school happily.
“Honey, this kid has been spoiled rotten by Mom. He even dares to skip school. If I had said I didn’t want to go to school before, Dad would have whipped me with his belt.” Sun Xingyan wouldn’t hit his son, but he would use his father’s example of how he would beat his son.
"Alright, Rui Rui is still young, it's normal for him to have these emotions. Don't keep yelling to hit him."
“Boys need more education, otherwise they are very difficult to manage during puberty.” Sun Xingyan carried Xia Baozhu’s bag, put his arm around her waist and entered the elevator, and began to talk about his parenting philosophy.
Xia Baozhu listened with a smile. Time was like gold, and it had been extremely kind to her. Here, she was fortunate to meet the person she would spend her life with.
