The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex Chapter 1199 - : She Had Already Given Up

Chapter 1199: She Had Already Given Up

She tore open a piece of bandage and gently placed it on top of his wound.
“Thanks…” Ye Hao said as he turned to look at her, a gentle smile on his face.
He felt very blessed that she was still by his side, spending time with him and caring for him, just as she used to do.

She returned to her bedroom that night.
It was a spacious bedroom that was around 60 square meters. There was a newly purchased guzheng in addition to the furniture in the room.
She didn’t have any music lessons since she was a child, nor did she have any musical talent.
She had bought the guzheng at the spur of the moment after she saw video clips of other parents learning to play this instrument being uploaded on their WeChat Moments and thought that it seemed interesting.
However, she had only taken several lessons, so she could not play a complete tune and had only learned one or two simple finger movements. She didn’t play well, so this guzheng was reduced to being a decorative feature in her room.
The guzheng which cost several tens of thousands of dollars lent a scholarly air to her bedroom after it was placed there.
She would pluck at the strings whenever she felt irritated. The guzheng was a beautiful instrument that would let out a melodious tune even if one simply plucked at its strings without knowing how to play the instrument. The sound it made was very calming, just like the sound of a river flowing.
She sat next to the guzheng, placed a hand on the strings and simply plucked at the strings to play a few chords. It was a simple children’s song known as ‘Jasmine Flower’.
She couldn’t remember the chords and could only play two lines from the song.
She was playing to naturally calm herself down because she felt irritated.
She unlocked her phone and tapped into an anonymous group chat for parents. She realized that there were many people actively chatting in the group chat. She scrolled through the chat and came across a post from a woman asking for help from the other parents.
The woman wanted a divorce because her husband was keeping a mistress outside. Her husband and his mistress stuck together like glue and he hardly ever came home at night, so she received a lot of mental distress. However, their 14-year-old son was disapproving of them getting a divorce and even threatened to commit suicide if they were to get a divorce.
The woman had no choice but to continue this marriage that brought such pain to her.
He Xiyan felt very upset when she read this post.
She looked at the suggestions from the other parents. Most of them advised the woman against getting a divorce and these parents also suggested that she should only consider divorce after the child was 18 and had finished his high school examination. Otherwise, this might agitate the child and cause him to resort to extreme measures.
There were also others who advised the woman to bear with it. These parents suggested that all men were the same; there wasn’t a man who had money and wouldn’t commit adultery. They advised her to act like she didn’t know what was going on and to treasure the money she could get out of her husband.
There were even others who advised the woman to doll herself up to win her husband back
He Xiyan tossed her phone aside. She felt very upset each time she came across such posts because most of these posts reflected what she had been through.
She had been through two marriages and she had also encountered most problems that people would face in their marriage – adultery, domestic violence, infertility, conflicts with her mother-in-law, conflicts that arose from their backgrounds being too different….
These problems left her feeling breathless and she felt depressed even until this day whenever she was reminded of the problems she had once encountered. This caused her to reject the idea of being someone else’s wife or someone else’s daughter-in-law.
She knew that Ye Hao, Mo Yixuan, and even Jiahang truly loved her but she didn’t think that she would be happy with either one of them.
Although Ye Hao was treating her extremely well at the moment, she didn’t think that they would be able to grow old together if they were to become a couple again.
Men would always treasure what they couldn’t get.
She thought that these words rang true.
