Translator: 549690339
Wang Xiaohong couldn’t understand Yu Mingyi’s tolerance, and in her eyes, his constant forbearance towards her was just weakness and incompetence.
“Your mom just looks down on me. Why can Eldest Sister-in-law be a chief doctor in the hospital, but my aunt’s younger sister can’t even be a nurse?”
“Eldest Sister-in-law is a seven-year medical master, and she succeeded by her own strength. Your younger sister’s education doesn’t meet the hospital’s requirements, so they won’t accept her.”
“Yu Mingyi, don’t give me that nonsense! When we asked you to find my younger brother a good job, you just evaded the issue like this. Can’t you be a little more successful and find some good work for your family? Look at your shameless younger brother—”
When she mentioned his younger brother, Yu Mingyi’s face instantly grew dark. Wang Xiaohong could see that he was unhappy, so she changed her tune, “Just look at Yu Minglang, he’s so good at attracting attention and the company gave him the position. You still want me to drive a Santana! You and your old man and Old Lady are so biased. Everything good goes to your eldest son! I want to switch to a Toyota, but they won’t let me!”
Endless comparisons, endless quarrels and suspicions. As Yu Mingyi looked back on his marriage journey, he couldn’t think of a single happy moment. Well, perhaps one thing – their child.
Thinking of their sleeping son in the next room, Yu Mingyi suppressed his anger and spoke with his last ounce of patience.
“Youngest Brother Yu took over the company by his own ability, and our parents didn’t provide any assistance. Old man said, no one is allowed to buy Japanese cars.”
Fourth Brother Yu is a person who doesn’t seem picky but has high standards. When the family wanted to buy him a car, he refused, insisting that he must have a car and a woman that suited his tastes. During his time in school, he managed funds and bought a car for himself.
“It’s just that you’re not capable! Why can Youngest Brother Yu afford a car, but you can’t buy one for me?”
“…Isn’t my salary managed by you?”
His salary was quite high. He left only a small amount for living expenses each month, and the rest went to her. For all these years, he never asked how the money was spent. Even when his wife continually aided her family, he didn’t complain.
Wang Xiaohong couldn’t answer Yu Mingyi’s question. She did send money to her family every month, but she refused to back down, and tears streamed down her face.
“My elder brother asked you to take care of me when he died, and this is how you treat me…”
Hearing her mention her brother, Yu Mingyi’s expression changed too.
When the Instructor died, his only request was for Yu Mingyi to marry his younger sister Wang Xiaohong. As for Yu Mingyi’s own feelings about love and relationships, he felt indifferent and thought it didn’t matter who he married. After all, married life was just about a man and a woman living together, so he thought it was the same with anyone.
That’s how Wang Xiaohong was brought into his family. Despite everyone’s objections, Yu Mingyi forcibly married her.
Why? It was because Wang Xiaohong’s elder brother Wang Dazhi was Yu Mingyi’s Instructor back then. Yu Mingyi always had an extra bit of tolerance and care for Wang Xiaohong because of that.
“Everyone thinks I married well, but your family only looks good on the surface. They can’t help me with anything, and nobody cares about arranging work for me. You have power but don’t use it, you have money but won’t give it, and you look down upon me and my family. Now that I’m older and less attractive, you’re messing around with female students outside.”
Wang Xiaohong’s sadness grew the more she spoke, feeling that she was too wronged. Her husband was like an ice cube and lacked any romance. His family didn’t help her either, making her life difficult.
“That student was a child I saved years ago; it’s not what you think.”
“Do you think I’m stupid? You didn’t contact the child you saved years ago until now, have you taken a fancy to her?”
Yu Mingyi could not imagine what exactly filled her head.
She made simple matters seem complicated, constantly catching at shadows and making all sorts of guesses. After her one-sided shouting, she would always shift the focus to something else.
From the beginning up to now, everything she brought up in their arguments had one central idea: he was the coldest, most unloving and uncaring man in the world, and she was a devoted wife.
Throughout the past years, she had suspected his female nurses, female pilots, and even the female sales staff outside—the woman was nearly 4.0 years old.
And now, she had extended her suspicions and mistrust to the girls he had saved.
With such a bizarre-minded woman, Yu Mingyi didn’t even bother to explain anymore.
He knew that as soon as he opened his mouth, she would bring up everything that happened between them since they first met. She remembered every single thing he had ever done that wronged her, and they all came up in every fight.
“You’ve always looked down on me. In our first year of marriage, I cooked an onion dish. You said you didn’t like onions, and when I peeled them, they made me cry. I ran out late at night, and you only followed me three minutes later. You didn’t care about my life or death. When I got off the car on the highway during a tantrum, you didn’t chase after me, just let me go. Late at night, a group of manual workers walked past me…”
Thinking of those sad memories, Wang Xiaohong was heartbroken and sobbed even harder.
She felt that her husband was too outstanding and used his excellence to bully and neglect her. He refused to give her the princess-like care she deserved. Why should she have to deal with an ice cube when other wives were pampered?
“Next time, you can throw a tantrum while I’m flying and jump out of the open cabin door,” Yu Mingyi said coldly.
He couldn’t understand why women would suddenly throw tantrums for no reason. She cooked onions and asked if he liked them, and when he just expressed his true opinion, she got angry, threw a fit and ran out. He had to chase her to get her to come back. Over the past few years, Wang Xiaohong would run away whenever they argued. She would run away as long as her desires weren’t met, no matter the time or place.
At first, he was patient enough to chase her, but after a while, he stopped caring and let her run as her heart became numb.
“Yu Mingyi, you’re not human! You just want me to die, don’t you? Once I’m dead, you can find someone new!” Wang Xiaohong cried so hard that her mother was summoned.
The Old Lady pushed the door open, and upon seeing her daughter in tears, she immediately pulled Wang Xiaohong behind her.
“Mingyi, you hardly come back once a year, and when you do, you quarrel with Xiaohong. She does have a bit of a temper, but what has she done to wrong you? She even raises a child that isn’t yours. Isn’t that enough? Can’t you just let her have her way a bit?”
“I’m going to see Panpan.” Yu Mingyi didn’t want to argue with two women and turned to check on his son in the next room.
As he turned and left the quarreling mother and daughter behind, Yu Mingyi looked at his sleeping son. He gently touched the child’s small face with his fingers. Coming home, the most comforting thing was to see the little guy..
