Gu Qi, who was standing by, couldn't help but whisper, "Xing'er, Brother Liu is drunk."
No matter what truths you tell him now, even if he listens carefully, he will forget them completely when he wakes up tomorrow.
Chen Xingling shrugged: "He's drunk, so I can talk about it. I've heard a lot tonight, and I just have to speak out."
Gu Qi smiled indulgently and let her continue.
Liu Xinnian looked like he had no choice but to say, "Don't be afraid, sister-in-law. Just tell me what you want to say. I'm all ears."
Chen Xingling laughed softly and asked, "When you first married Guo Jiayue, no one forced you, right? Even if Lao Guo was very kind to you and threatened you to repay him, if you really didn't want to, would Lao Guo force you with his body?"
Liu Xinnian was extremely embarrassed and hesitated: "Of course not... But he advised me many times."
"Persuading is one thing." Chen Xingling said, "But you are the one who actually agreed to marry Guo Jiayue! This proves that you may not be satisfied with this marriage, but you still have a chance, thinking that it will be profitable or that you can get married first and fall in love later."
Liu Xinnian was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded slowly.
"Old Guo thinks highly of me, and he has always wanted to train me to be his right-hand man. But his daughter married far away, and his son is still young, so he really has no one to rely on. Guo Jiayue is his niece. Her parents are gone, and Old Guo and his wife take care of her almost exclusively, just like their own daughter. He hopes that we can become a closer family and become a family in the future. I didn't like Guo Jiayue very much at first, but I couldn't let Old Guo down, so I could only... agree."
"But what happened later?" Chen Xingling said, "You couldn't be harmonious with Guo Jiayue and Meimei. You quarreled every other day. Part of the reason was that you really didn't like her and couldn't stand it. Part of the reason was that you had other thoughts and hoped to get a divorce and get rid of her, so that you could spend the rest of your life with a woman you liked."
Liu Xinnian defended himself in a low voice: "That woman is arrogant and domineering, like a lunatic... I can't stand her. It was only after I went to the factory that I started to think about divorce."
"Yes." Chen Xingling curled his lips: "You have already obtained your high position, there is no need to deal with her, so you can just leave."
Since she was using someone as a stepping stone, even if that stepping stone was bad, she had still helped him.
After he jumped to a high position, he remembered that what he needed was not a springboard, but a new partner who could live in harmony with him and love him deeply.
Liu Xinnian stammered and said, "...I really can't live like this anymore."
"Yeah." Chen Xingling said, "You can't handle her, and it's partly your own fault. Let's not talk about that. I think you've done more than just that. You're obviously married, but you secretly like another woman. Even if you have no choice, you've let your marriage and your nominal lover down, haven't you?"
No matter how reluctant he was to get married, he had already gotten married and was officially married to another woman.
Since you are a married man with marital responsibilities, you should understand that you must be bound by marriage and put away inappropriate thoughts.
No matter how much he liked Liu Qing'er, he should have restrained himself and not betrayed his marriage and hurt another woman.
Liu Xinnian was silent. He had nothing to say and couldn't find any words to defend himself.
Chen Xingling continued, "Even if you didn't do anything to let down your marriage or Guo Jiayue before the divorce, you had already betrayed her in your heart. Liu Qing'er secretly liked you, but you didn't reject her explicitly. Instead, you let her wait for you for many years. She is also a victim, isn't she?"
"...I feel sorry for her." Liu Xinnian murmured in a heavy tone: "I feel sorry for her."
Chen Xingling rolled his eyes secretly: "Since you can't give the girl hope, you shouldn't drag her on for several years. A girl's youth is so precious, but she delayed her marriage for you. In this respect, she is not wrong. There is nothing wrong with liking someone, but she fell in love with a married man who she shouldn't like, and fell in love with a man who can't give her security and a future. To put it bluntly, she is also quite...deserving."
She knew clearly that Liu Xinnian was already married. Even if his semi-arranged marriage was unhappy and even if he was not happy at all, he was marked by his wife and she should not have been involved in any affair with him.
In this era when the divorce rate is extremely low, most couples, even if they are not very happy, just get along with each other day by day.
Liu Xinnian faced great resistance to divorce, not only from Lao Guo's opposition, but also from Guo Jiayue's refusal to divorce. Therefore, the hope of waiting for Liu Xinnian to divorce and marry her was very slim.
Liu Qing'er kept waiting and waiting. Although she was deeply in love, she was not rational at all.
In the end, he fell into despair and disappointment again and again, and would rather move away than stay in this sad place.
She is both pitiful and deserves it.
After hearing this, Liu Xinnian instantly became angry and started to defend his beloved woman.
"When it comes to feelings... you can't just like someone and not like him or her! She didn't ask me to do anything, and she never wanted anything from me! She's a good woman! I hurt her! I let her down time and time again! She's obviously the most innocent! The most pitiful!"
"Brother Liu, don't get excited." Gu Qi quickly pressed his shoulder and comforted him: "Lie back, lie back, don't get excited or angry."
Liu Xinnian was unyielding: "Aqi! Qing'er is such a good woman, you know that. You know her, and you know her."
Gu Qi had no idea whether the other person was good or not, so he could only nod perfunctorily.
"Don't worry, just lie down. Okay, stop talking and have a good sleep."
Liu Xinnian brushed him aside, glared at Chen Xingling and ordered, "Go on."
"No more talking, go to sleep." Chen Xingling explained with a smile: "I am just discussing the matter from the perspective of an outsider. It's just my personal opinion, it doesn't count. You don't have to take it to heart."
Liu Xinnian was unyielding: "You must finish! I want you to tell the truth! Qing'er is not wrong at all! She is the most innocent and pitiful one!"
"Forget it!" Chen Xingling also had a temper, and couldn't help shouting: "She clearly knew that you were married, but she still liked you - isn't this knowingly committing a crime?! She really doesn't want anything from you? Then why is she waiting for you to get divorced? If she doesn't want you as a person, and simply likes you, why is she waiting for you? Huh?"
Liu Xinnian was speechless and stammered, "That...that..."
"What?" Chen Xingling raised his chin and shouted, "She is innocent? She is pitiful? According to the theory of love, there is nothing wrong in liking anyone. But she is wrong when she likes a married man. She is like a moth flying into a flame, knowing clearly that it is extremely dangerous and may be doomed, but still desperately trying - it would be strange if she doesn't die! It was obviously wrong from the beginning, how could she not get hurt!"
Gu Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this. He glanced at Liu Xinnian, whose face turned red because of the rebuke, and secretly suppressed a laugh.
"Xing'er, stop talking..."
"No!" Liu Xinnian seemed to be determined and said in a rough voice: "Don't stop her! Let her talk! You must explain it clearly, otherwise I will never let her go!"
Gu Qi: “…”
Chen Xingling was not afraid of him at all, she snorted coldly: "What? Are you angry and ashamed because I exposed you? I tell you - if I was afraid, I wouldn't say it. Besides, you asked me to say it, and I treated you as an old acquaintance, so I reluctantly said a few words to let you hear it. If it were someone else, I would not bother to waste my saliva. My time is precious, and I have to get my beauty sleep at this time. I have to stay here to accompany a drunkard to go crazy."
"You must apologize!" Liu Xinnian ordered in a deep voice: "Apologize to my brother Qing'er! Apologize immediately!"
Chen Xingling sneered: "It's not me who disappointed her, and it's not me who made her like you, a married woman. She's hurt and sad, what does it have to do with me!"
"You slandered her!" Liu Xinnian yelled angrily, "You must apologize!"
Chen Xingling laughed and asked, "How did I slander her? Did I say something wrong? She knowingly did it, knowing that there would be no good ending for a moth flying into a flame, shouldn't she be hurt?"
