Chapter 3293
"Only a few times? Since that's the case, what are you after..." Wang Juan looked at her cousin Ma Lili in confusion.
Ma Lili finished the red wine in her glass in one gulp and said leisurely: "I can't compare with you. In Sister's opinion, Liu Deliang is still quite good, at least younger and more capable than Old Zheng. You divorced him just like that. You don't care because you have your father's previous relationship covering you. You can be transferred from the Finance Bureau to be the vice president of the bank. Your job is so good, you have power and influence, and you have beauty that makes men lose their souls. But what do I have? Isn't it just a bit of beauty? What am I after? I'm just after a comfortable life. As long as Old Zheng doesn't divorce me, he can do whatever he wants outside. Anyway, my daughter is so big, I can't be as reckless as you. I know, deep down, you look down on Sister..."
Wang Juan never expected that her little curiosity would cause such a sigh from her cousin Ma Lili. For a time, she was stunned and couldn't speak, just holding a wine glass and dazed.
For a time, the room was quiet, and the atmosphere between the two women became awkward. Finally, Wang Juan broke the silence. She pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Sister Lili, don't drink anymore. After three glasses of wine, you're talking nonsense. If you don't want to say it, forget it. I'm not greedy for it. I'm just worried that you'll be deceived. Consider it me being nosy!"
Ma Lili also felt that her reaction just now was a bit out of character. To be honest, she knew her cousin Wang Juan very well. Since childhood, the relationship between the two had been very good. Putting aside the disparity in family wealth, the two were like biological sisters. Later, she went to college in another place, and the two were separated for a few years. However, after Wang Juan returned, the first phone call was to her. To say that her cousin Wang Juan looked down on her was truly an injustice, and it was impossible for her to tell her about this house rental plan.
"Alright, I spoke without thinking. It's just that sometimes I think about it in my heart... Alright, don't mention these. Let's talk about your future tenant. Juan'er, I'm confused now too. What kind of man do you like?" Ma Lili changed the topic and looked at Wang Juan in confusion.
Wang Juan subconsciously shook the goblet in her hand, narrowed her eyes, and stared at her toes. After a long while, she said in a low voice: "Before, I hoped to find a man who loved me, so I married Liu Deliang. Now... I want to find a man I like..."
"Look at you being so unfathomable. Didn't you like Old Liu at the beginning?" Ma Lili was a bit confused by Wang Juan's words.
Wang Juan smiled beautifully, took a small sip of wine, and said mysteriously: "The liking now is different from the liking before. Before, liking him was to make him like me, to please him. Now... how should I put it..." Wang Juan said, her gaze drifting, "It's just without any reason, without purpose, without prejudice, and even without results... I just want to be with him... I just want to hold him and wrestle... I just want him to satisfy me..."
"Alright, alright, stop talking." Ma Lili stood up and looked down at her cousin Wang Juan, saying meaningfully: "Look at what you're saying, you don't look like a bank president at all, you look like..."
"Like a slut, right?" Wang Juan finished the wine in her glass and continued: "Life is short. Anyway, I'm going to live for myself in the second half of my life. No one can interfere with me."
"It seems it's not that I drank too much, Juan'er. Don't send that rental notice. Consider it again. Don't forget you're a bank president. If someone finds out..." Ma Lili enlightened Wang Juan.
"So what if they find out? Anyway, what I'm renting out isn't state property. It's my own house. Does a bank president not eat the food of the world?"
"Sister doesn't recognize you anymore
, Juan'er... Actually... since I was a child, I've admired your courage. I really hope you can find one... one that makes you like that..." Ma Lili blushed slightly and said in embarrassment.
Wang Juan patted her cousin Ma Lili's shoulder and giggled, "If I can't find one, consider it a small episode. However, Sister Lili, I'm really too lonely living in such a big house alone. I didn't feel it when Liu Deliang was here, but now I know..."
"Juan'er." Ma Lili walked over and stroked Wang Juan's shoulder, saying leisurely: "Regardless of anything, regardless of what method we use, as long as we feel happy ourselves, it's fine. Men are actually just a concept. Those who come have come, those who go have gone. Anyway, it's just a blurred back. The real bitterness is only known to us women. You're right, let's change our way of living in the second half of our lives." Ma Lili seemed to be speaking from her own experience, because she felt the same way. Although she still looked very beautiful and young, her husband, Zheng Tulu, just had no interest in her. Even if he often came home to sleep at night, he would turn his back and sleep soundly as soon as he got into bed, as if he couldn't see her. She couldn't even remember how long it had been since they did that thing between husband and wife.
Wang Juan heard her cousin Ma Lili's words and suddenly felt a sourness in her nose. She couldn't help but think of Liu Deliang, feeling a burst of misery, a burst of anger, and a burst of resentment. However, this was the last time she thought of Liu Deliang with emotion. From now on, she would completely delete Liu Deliang from her life and memory.
