"You and your husband divorcing is one thing, but you actually want Liu Mei Qi to divorce along with you—if that's not having a belly full of bad water, what is?"
Zhang Sheng angrily accused:
"The old saying goes, better to tear down ten temples than one marriage, but you—you keep saying Liu Mei Qi should divorce. What are your intentions!"
Yao Xueqin still insisted on her own view:
"What intentions could I have? I'm just thinking of Mei Qi. Mei Qi is my good sister; I could never harm her! As for you, letting Mei Qi marry that Wang Erhai—what are your intentions? Wang Erhai is neither handsome nor very capable, can't even afford a house, and isn't even good to Mei Qi. Isn't that pushing Mei Qi into a pit of fire!"
Zhang Sheng coldly said:
"What do you know? Wang Erhai is a promising prospect. Shanhai Real Estate's development potential in our little county town isn't something a short-sighted woman like you can see through. Besides, him not buying a house doesn't mean he can't afford one! Just the fifteen thousand yuan pocket money he gives Liu Mei Qi every month—your ex-husband couldn't even do that!"
Yao Xueqin was stunned:
"That much?"
When she was a housewife before, her ex-husband indeed hadn't given her that much pocket money.
It was just five thousand yuan a month, and that five thousand even included the children's expenses.
The rest of the money was tightly gripped in her ex-husband's hand; he simply wouldn't let her manage money.
This was also one of the important reasons she cheated.
Of course, there was another even more important reason: her ex-husband was busy socializing and rarely came home, and Yao Xueqin was not a woman content with loneliness. When she used to work in real estate sales, she played around more than Liu Mei Qi. For various reasons, she ended up cheating with a male driving coach at a gym in the county town.
"Of course! And fifteen thousand is just pocket money. She holds a position at Shanhai Real Estate and has a fixed monthly salary of over ten thousand! Five Insurances and One Fund are all bought at the highest tier for her! I just don't understand! Wang Erhai treats her like this, so how is he still not good enough? What kind of man counts as a good man in your women's eyes?"
Zhang Sheng was huffing and puffing. He was also a man. He spoke up for Wang Erhai not only out of consideration for his own interests, but also because he could deeply empathize with Wang Erhai's situation.
To be honest, if his wife behaved like Liu Mei Qi, he would have kicked her out long ago—how could he put up with it this long? So in the circle of successful men, Wang Erhai's temper was already considered very good.
And he hadn't gone to find other women.
Just for that alone, as the original wife, Liu Mei Qi should be content.
Because in his view, there wasn't a single successful man in this world who didn't fool around!
He himself had fooled around plenty.
"Really? Actually giving that much? Is Wang Erhai really that generous?"
Yao Xueqin expressed some suspicion about this.
In her view, a small boss like Wang Erhai—unattractive but with a bit of ability—was the stingiest kind. Her ex-husband was that kind of man.
She never expected Wang Erhai to be so good to Liu Mei Qi!
"Of course it's true! Wang Erhai has already been good enough to Liu Mei Qi. It's just that she's neurotic, too much of a troublemaker, which is why Wang Erhai is fed up with her!"
Yao Xueqin said:
"Looks like I wronged Wang Erhai. How about this: later I'll persuade Mei Qi, tell her not to divorce, and that living a good life together is the right principle."
Zhang Sheng, hearing this, finally had his anger slightly subside:
"That's right. What's most important for a woman? It's living a good life!"
Yao Xueqin had just hung up Zhang Sheng's phone call, then immediately called Liu Mei Qi to chat.
However, she wasn't calling to urge reconciliation, but was still urging divorce!
"Mei Qi, did Zhang Sheng call you earlier to urge you not to divorce?"
Yao Xueqin asked.
"Yeah, how did you know?"
Liu Mei Qi asked, puzzled.
Yao Xueqin said:
"Just now Zhang Sheng called and cursed me out, saying I shouldn't urge you to divorce. How laughable! He doesn't want you and Wang Erhai to divorce, but that's only because he's afraid you'll cling to him again after the divorce. For his own benefit, he lies with his eyes open and doesn't care about your life or death at all!"
Liu Mei Qi was stunned inside:
"He really thinks that?"
Yao Xueqin said:
"Of course. He told me straight to my face that he's afraid that after you divorce, you'll have no one to rely on and will go make a scene in front of his wife. Otherwise, why do you think he's being so kind? Thinking he's some living Bodhisattva!"
Liu Mei Qi, hearing this, also thought it made sense.
There's no such thing as unconditional active help in this world. If there is, it can only be said that it definitely involves his own interests.
"I've been saying—why would Zhang Sheng keep urging me not to divorce Wang Erhai? Turns out it's for this reason!"
Liu Mei Qi couldn't help but feel resentment in her heart:
"That old man Zhang Sheng is really cunning and deceitful! I almost got tricked by him!"
Yao Xueqin said:
"Don't listen to him from now on. Old men like him are the slickest talkers. What comes out of their mouths is one set of lines after another. It sounds reasonable at first, but if you think it over carefully, it's nothing but a jar of poison!"
Liu Mei Qi slowly nodded, then asked:
"So does that mean I should still divorce Wang Erhai?"
Yao Xueqin gave a very definite answer without hesitation:
"Of course! Wang Erhai isn't even a man. Not loving you is one thing, but he also hits and scolds you. A man like that—should you keep him for the New Year?"
Liu Mei Qi also thought Yao Xueqin's words made sense:
"A man like that really isn't worth me continuing to love him!"
Because Wang Erhai had indeed beaten and scolded her plenty, never cared about her emotions at all, was extremely impatient with her, and even felt quite disgusted.
A man like this truly wasn't worth continuing to deal with.
Yao Xueqin continued to fan the flames:
"If you ask me, you should divorce Wang Erhai as soon as possible, the sooner the better. With your conditions, finding a man better than Wang Erhai wouldn't be difficult at all?"
"But the child in my belly..." Liu Mei Qi still had her misgivings.
If she hadn't gotten pregnant, she might have gone to divorce Wang Erhai right away.
But now that she was pregnant, she couldn't just cut the knot so quickly.
Yao Xueqin continued to urge her on:
"It's nothing, just raising a child, what's a big deal! If you don't want the child, give it to Wang Erhai; if you want the child, hire a confinement nanny to help take care of it. Hiring a confinement nanny doesn't cost much money either! We, as independent women of the new era, don't need to rely on those stinking men! We must live for ourselves!"
Liu Mei Qi felt that what Yao Xueqin said was very reasonable.
It simply spoke to her heart.
Making her feel that if she didn't divorce, she wasn't fit to be a woman.
So she finally made up her mind:
"Fine, then tomorrow early morning, I'll go divorce Wang Erhai!"
