Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Wang Erhai heard Zhang Sheng ask this and knew Liu Meiqi had called Zhang Sheng to complain again.

Otherwise Zhang Sheng couldn't have known about their argument so quickly.

He resented Liu Meiqi even more in his heart.

How can family matters like this be casually told to outsiders?

Saying it out isn't honorable!

But he didn't dare do anything to Zhang Sheng, after all Zhang Sheng was the top hand of Huangsheng Group, and his influence in this small county town was huge; if he wanted to keep getting by in this small county town, he couldn't offend him.

"Manager Zhang, Liu Meiqi and I really can't go on like this."

Wang Erhai sighed and also complained:

"Liu Meiqi is just a neurotic! Over a small matter she wants to argue with me, communication is completely impossible!"

Zhang Sheng sighed and said earnestly:

"Erhai, I understand your mood. Actually, it's not just Liu Meiqi who's neurotic—all women in the world, once married, become neurotics. My wife is the same, suspicious all day. Before marriage they're gentle and cute; after marriage they drop the act and become controlling monsters. I've had enough of this suffering too."

Hearing Zhang Sheng say this, Wang Erhai felt somewhat balanced in his heart.

He thought only his wife was like this; unexpectedly, even Manager Zhang's wife was like this.

"So marriage really isn't anything good. If I'd known, I wouldn't have married. Without marriage, with our earning ability, we could be as carefree as we wanted!"

Wang Erhai spoke these reflections from the bottom of his heart.

But Zhang Sheng changed the subject:

"It can't be said like that. At least after marriage there's a home. Whether this home is good or bad isn't the point, but at least there's a root, so you won't be like rootless duckweed drifting in the sea. Drift too long and you'll eventually feel lonely and desolate."

"I'd rather be duckweed than endure Liu Meiqi's bad temper every day!"

Wang Erhai said this.

He knew Zhang Sheng had come to urge reconciliation. He appreciated Zhang Sheng's good intentions, but he really couldn't go on.

"Erhai, don't be impulsive. Liu Meiqi is already pregnant with your child. You can't let the child be born without a father, can you? Don't argue with Liu Meiqi. Women can't be reasoned with. You have to provide her emotional value. Don't argue with her. Even if you know she's wrong, don't argue with her."

Wang Erhai said:

"I don't want to argue with her either, but her attitude is just too disrespectful. Is it easy for me to support her? She doesn't know gratitude, and she still treats me like this."

But Zhang Sheng continued to persuade:

"What do you care about her attitude? Don't argue with her. If you ignore her, even if she strikes hard, she'll only hit air. Eventually she'll find it boring and stop arguing with you. The more you respond, the more energized she gets."

Wang Erhai felt Zhang Sheng's words made some sense.

But his desire for divorce was already very strong.

And this desire had been piled on layer by layer by Liu Meiqi.

"No matter what, wait until the child is born to talk about it. For now, don't quibble with her. If it affects the child and you end up with an unhealthy child, that would be a loss not worth the gain."

Zhang Sheng said this again.

Wang Erhai sighed:

"Fine, I'll forgive her once more."

He ultimately softened.

Liu Meiqi was pregnant with his child, and he indeed found it hard to give up easily.

At this time, on the other side.

Liu Meiqi had just complained to Zhang Sheng about her troubles, and coincidentally her best friend WeChatted her, inviting her out shopping.

Her best friend was named Yao Xueqin, also from real estate sales.

Previously the two had done sales together at Huangsheng and had a very good relationship.

Later Yao Xueqin attached herself to a small boss who came to buy a house. After marrying that small boss, she resigned from Huangsheng. Her husband didn't let her continue doing real estate sales.

Recently Yao Xueqin divorced, had nothing to do, and returned to Huangsheng to do real estate sales again.

She therefore contacted her former sister.

Liu Meiqi was one of them.

And Liu Meiqi had nothing much to do at Shanhai Real Estate's HR department, was relatively free, so they chatted a lot.

"Mei Qi, what's wrong with you?"

The two just met on the street. Yao Xueqin saw Liu Meiqi's complexion wasn't right and asked with concern.

"Sigh, don't mention it. I argued with that stinky man of mine again."

Liu Meiqi sighed and began to complain.

"Why did you argue again? Didn't you tell me before that after you got pregnant, he started spoiling you?"

Yao Xueqin asked patiently.

"He spoiled me for only a few days, then became impatient with me again. I seriously suspect he has another woman outside."

Liu Meiqi's face was full of worry.

Yao Xueqin echoed:

"Don't say it yet—there really is such a possibility. Men are most likely to cheat when their wives are pregnant. My husband was like that. When their lower heads take over, they can't hold back! And we women, when pregnant, can't satisfy them!"

Hearing Yao Xueqin say this, Liu Meiqi suspected even more.

It's said that after she got pregnant, for fetal protection, until now she hadn't been intimate with Wang Erhai for over three months.

"Xueqin, if my husband really cheated on me, what should I do?"

Liu Meiqi began to lose her composure.

Yao Xueqin comforted her:

"Don't panic. We women aren't unable to live without a man. Look at me—I divorced my ex-husband, and I'm still doing just fine, aren't I?"

Yao Xueqin added:

"When I was with my ex-husband, he made me angry every day until I developed breast nodules. Now that I'm divorced, I'm in a much better mood, and I no longer have to put up with that stinking man's various bad habits."

Liu Meiqi frowned:

"You mean you support my divorce?"

Yao Xueqin said without hesitation:

"Of course I support it. You're so beautiful; you don't have to worry about not finding another man. I've seen your husband's photo before. To be honest, don't be angry, but he's just a toad. For him to marry you is nothing short of rising green smoke from the ancestral grave. Since he doesn't know how to cherish you, why keep indulging him? Just dump him!"

"But I'm pregnant with his child."

Liu Meiqi still hesitated.

Yao Xueqin said:

"What does that matter? Just leave the father and keep the child. Women are independent nowadays, especially women like us who can earn our own money. Why should we rely on a man? Didn't you buy your own house? Your husband still hasn't bought one. You really are something—you married him at your own expense, and you can even put up with that!"

Liu Meiqi was embarrassed by what she heard.

Being so humble in front of Wang Erhai was indeed somewhat humiliating.

Thinking it over, with her conditions, she indeed didn't need to indulge Wang Erhai.

Even if she divorced, there would definitely be many people willing to pursue her.

Even now, before divorcing, many big and small bosses she had met when she worked in sales still messaged her from time to time to harass her.

Some even said that even if she was married, they didn't mind, and they would marry her after she divorced.

"It seems I really am a bit foolish. I indeed shouldn't have put up with Wang Erhai, that bastard..."

After Yao Xueqin said this, Liu Meiqi herself began to want a divorce too, no longer clinging to keeping Wang Erhai as she had in the past.

Zhang Sheng advised Wang Erhai to reconcile, while Yao Xueqin advised Liu Meiqi to divorce.

Men advising their brothers generally advise reconciliation, not divorce.

Women advising their best friends usually advise divorce, not reconciliation.

Perhaps this is the difference between men and women.
