Chapter 160 - The Brutal Truth

In the past, she thought that if she worked a bit harder, her mother and father would give her attention. But now that she had seen this result, was it even possible for her mother to care for her?

"If Yu Zheng Tong know this, I'm sure he'll ask for a divorce right away." 

No man would tolerate their wives cheating them.

Yu Yan had seen a lot of men cheating their wives but this was the first time she knew that even a woman could cheat her husband. Eh, was this way of thinking occurred because she read too much novels where the husband was the one cheating?

She didn't know but she felt a bit helpless upon seeing the documents.

It seemed that from the very first, the family would never be complete. With a mother like that, it was clear that the marriage was not supposed to last.

"I'm more surprised Yu Zheng Tong never caught Kang Mao Lan in action." Yu Yan didn't really want to term them as her father nor mother. After not caring for her for years and disowned her, they really didn't have a place in her heart anymore.

Maybe… her father was somewhat in her heart as she could still remember some happy moments with him. But even then, Yu Yan really couldn't bring herself to call him as her father anymore.

He was never present whenever she experienced difficulties in her life. It often made her wonder whether she had parents or not. 

"He's a submissive person. I think that you have already noticed that their relationship is not equal."

Kang Mao Lan was the adored daughter of Kang Family. At the same time, Kang Family was also a very influential family in City A with a lot of people looking up at the family. It was clear that there will be a lot of people who would look at them with scrutiny from a distance away. 

On the other hand, Yu Zheng Tong was not a powerful person. He came from village and worked hard to reach his current position. He had to pay with blood, sweat, and tears in order to reach the current height. But even then, he was still not very accomplished and his company was barely able to contend with many other companies out there.

Certainly, it was hard for him to say that he was a powerful man.

While he certainly had his pride, he willingly lowered himself in front of his wife. After all, it was already a blessing for him back then to be fancied with Kang Shu Jiang, who allowed him to get married into Kang Family. 

That way, he would make Kang Mao Lan see him as a loving husband and one who would willingly care for her. This was because he truly didn't have any ground to be the one to berate his wife. He was afraid of losing the Kang Family support.

Kang Mao Lan's powerful background prevented Yu Zheng Tong from having an equal relationship.

But in turn, this would make Kang Mao Lan dissatisfied and even brazenly seek for other people to latch onto. She was not afraid of Yu Zheng Tong since she was basically the more powerful one in their relationship and wouldn't care much if he didn't really like her.

On the other hand, it was Yu Zheng Tong who couldn't bear to fail their relationship. He needed the support from the mine because it was the only way he could make sure that he didn't need to pay a lot of cost and still earn substantial profit each year.

"Yeah, I notice it."

Yu Yan smiled bitterly. No matter how much Kang Mao Lan lost her temper back at home, Yu Zheng Tong never dared to rebuke her harshly. He would always coax her and didn't even dare to get angry. Even when he was tired, he would never lash out to his wife and chose to hide in his study and didn't dare to get out before he could sort out his feeling.

The young Yu Yan had once stumbled upon her father when he was resting in the study room. She had seen that he was trying hard to control his temper, making sure that his wife would not be able to see him that way. His control was not the best as he had destroyed some items in the study room but threw them out silently.

Thinking about this, Yu Yan sighed. When her grandfather matched Kang Mao Lan with Yu Zheng Tong, he must have hoped that the two of them could get along well. Even if they would not love each other in the end, they could still keep their relationship and not betray each other. 

But in the end… it was his daughter who seek other people and break the vow she had uttered when getting married.

"Unequal relationship is really bad." Yu Yan raised to look at Long Ying. "But I'm not going to stay silent if you dare to betray me. Even if you're much more powerful than me, I'll surely leave you."

Long Ying arched his eyebrows and leaned in to look at Yu Yan directly. "I'll never betray you. My heart is yours and yours alone, no other woman will be able to enter my heart."

Yu Yan smiled and reached out her hand, gesturing for Long Ying to carry her. He complied and carried her tenderly. "You better not let go. Once you let go, I'll never turn back to look at you again."

"Mhm."

Long Ying knew that Yu Yan was telling him her bottom line. She didn't mind abandoning her career and forced herself to train just to be with him but she would not accept him getting close to another woman.

He knew that Yu Yan was also a ruthless person.. Once he dared to let her go, she would never forgive him just like how she decisively cut off her relationship with her ex-boyfriend from the moment they cheated on her.
