"Mei Qi, don't cry, don't be sad."

Yao Xueqin continued comforting Liu Meiqi:

"I tried to persuade Wang Erhai for you, but this bastard has truly made up his mind to divorce you. I asked him to accompany you to the hospital for a re-examination, and he refused without a second thought. Now that you've already aborted the child, there's really no need to harbor any more illusions about him. Everything is turned over; you should start a new life. You must be strong, be brave, okay?"

Yao Xueqin comforted Liu Meiqi just like comforting a three-year-old child.

Because she knew deep down that all emotional women in this world are actually three-year-old children; you have to coax them, indulge them, tell them pleasant lies, and absolutely must not speak ugly honest truths — not even a single sentence of honest truth — otherwise they will immediately lose emotional control and explode right before your eyes.

This is just like the current live streaming sales industry targeting women; a certain top anchor surnamed Li deeply understands this principle, and every single sentence he speaks during every live stream is like coaxing a child, coaxing those female audience members into buying the goods he promotes.

"Xueqin, I'll be brave, wuu wuu wuu..."

Liu Meiqi cried out in Yao Xueqin's embrace.

"Cry, cry, cry it out, and you'll feel a bit better; once you've cried, forget all those heart-wrenching things."

Yao Xueqin continued patiently comforting Liu Meiqi.

After Liu Meiqi finished crying, she even personally saw her home.

And very thoughtfully accompanied her for an entire afternoon.

Liu Meiqi's emotions gradually stabilized, but her inner guilt did not decrease — it increased.

"Xueqin, if you're busy with work, go to work first, don't worry about me; delaying your work would be bad."

Yao Xueqin, however, said:

"It's fine, it's just work, what's the big deal, just ignore it."

"But if you get fired for being absent, that would be bad..." Liu Meiqi's face was full of guilt.

"Fired is fired; just find a new job, it's very easy to find work now." Yao Xueqin said it very lightly, but in reality, when she went out to eat with Wang Erhai, she had already greeted Zhang Sheng and requested leave for today.

But Yao Xueqin certainly wouldn't directly tell Liu Meiqi this truth; she wanted Liu Meiqi to bear even more guilt.

The more guilt Liu Meiqi piled up inside, the more room Yao Xueqin would have to explain herself to Liu Meiqi in the future.

"But..."

Liu Meiqi was full of guilt; faced with Yao Xueqin's attitude, she was both moved and guilty.

"No buts, you rest well; whatever you want to eat tonight, I'll go to the supermarket later to buy some dishes and come back to personally cook a meal for you!"

Yao Xueqin said this with a smile.

"Xueqin, you're too good to me!"

Liu Meiqi cried again, moved.

"Don't cry, don't cry, you're my good sister; if I'm not good to you, am I supposed to be good to that scumbag Wang Erhai? Seeing you cry, my heart aches!"

Yao Xueqin continued patiently comforting:

"Tonight I'll make you your favorite Coca-Cola chicken wings, how about that?"

While comforting her, she also actively helped wipe her tears.

"Mm, okay, thank you Xueqin!"

Liu Meiqi nodded.

Yao Xueqin then said:

"Then you rest in the room, I'm going out to buy groceries, I'll be back soon; if anything happens, call me immediately!"

"Okay okay, you go, be careful on the road."

Yao Xueqin went downstairs and let out a heavy breath.

Then she couldn't help cursing to herself:

"What kind of thing is this, a twenty-to-thirty-year-old old hag, still needing someone to coax her like a three-year-old child, serves you right to suffer hardship for a lifetime!"

This was Yao Xueqin's honest truth from the heart.

And although her words were unpleasant to hear, though they were harsh, they were reality, they were the truth.

When a woman throws a tantrum at three years old, people find her cute.

When a woman throws a tantrum at thirteen, people think she has personality.

When a woman throws a tantrum at twenty-three, people still find it acceptable.

But when a woman at thirty still lets her emotions run wild and acts up, people will think, what kind of weird old witch is this?

Society is this cruel; its tolerance for women drops in a straight line as age rises, especially after women lose their beauty advantage and reproductive value.

Although Liu Meiqi is not yet thirty, her emotional experiences have long surpassed thirty.

She's had several boyfriends, been someone's mistress, had abortions; her body has long been wrecked to a haggard, unrecognizable state. She has already lost her beauty advantage without realizing it, and her reproductive value is also gone. The doctor told her long ago that her uterine wall is too thin, making it hard to conceive; if she conceives and aborts again, she might truly never be able to get pregnant for the rest of her life.

Yet she still doesn't change her old temperament, continuing to let emotions dictate her behavior, recklessly courting disaster time and again.

In fact, she had countless chances to salvage the situation; she only needed to yield a little before Wang Erhai, and she could have maintained the marriage with dignity.

Even without yielding, as long as she actively proposed divorce, Wang Erhai would have no way to divorce her.

Even if she proposed divorce, as long as she didn't actively go abort the child, she would still have a chance to win Wang Erhai back.

But she seized none of those chances, time and again.

She cannot see her own situation clearly, cannot recognize reality, and is easily emotional, easily plagued by gains and losses.

This is also why her previous relationships all ended in failure.

If she doesn't change her personality, any new boyfriends she dates in the future will still end with this result.

However, change is easy to say, but actually putting it into action is not easy at all.

Especially for a woman like Liu Meiqi, who lacks cognition and culture.

On a woman like her, beauty is not a bonus point for her life; it is more like a dose of poison.

Yao Xueqin took the opportunity of going to the supermarket to buy dishes and gave Wang Erhai a call:

"Hello, General Manager Wang."

Wang Erhai received the call and immediately asked with concern:

"Miss Yao, that madwoman Liu Meiqi, she didn't do anything to you, did she?"

Yao Xueqin smiled:

"Rest assured, I'm her best friend, what could she do to me? She's already apologized to me."

Wang Erhai's face immediately showed astonishment, finding it somewhat hard to believe:

"That crazy woman actually took the initiative to apologize to you? Impossible..."

Yao Xueqin then said:

"What's impossible about it? Things depend on human effort. I laid the matter out clearly to her, she understood the ins and outs, and not only did she take the initiative to apologize, she also took the initiative to slap herself several times."

Wang Erhai was dumbfounded, unable to speak for a moment, finding it even more unbelievable.

Yao Xueqin said again:

"General Manager Wang, you and Meiqi simply lack communication, but this isn't your fault. With Meiqi's personality, no man would be able to handle her. Now, your divorce from Meiqi is practically a done deal. I won't persuade you anymore, just reminding you: when looking for a partner in the future, don't just stare at looks. At least find someone you can communicate with!"

Wang Erhai smiled embarrassedly:

"Miss Yao, you're right. The most important thing in a woman isn't looks, isn't ability, but being reasonable, good-tempered, and good-natured — just like you, Miss Yao, most suitable to be a wife."

Yao Xueqin couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"General Manager Wang, you're kind of insulting me now. I'm just a divorced woman, how could I be worthy of you?"

Wang Erhai said at this time:

"Anyway, no matter what, Liu Meiqi slapping you today was my fault. How about I treat you to a meal later to apologize?"

But Yao Xueqin said:

"Let's forget the meal. If Meiqi sees us again, we really wouldn't be able to clear our names even if we jumped into the Yellow River. But I'm really feeling stifled inside. I treated Meiqi like a good sister, yet she slapped me without a word. Sigh, she nearly beat me into social withdrawal. I really want to find some time to go out and unwind."

Wang Erhai understood the subtext in Yao Xueqin's words and hurriedly said:

"Then this weekend, the two of us go out and have fun. What do you think?"

"Where to go? What to play?" Yao Xueqin asked.

"Anywhere is fine, anything is fine, as long as you're happy. You decide." Wang Erhai answered like this.

Yao Xueqin thought for a moment, then said:

"The weather's hot now, perfect for rafting. And near our county town, there happen to be a few good rafting spots. How about we go rafting?"

Wang Erhai answered without a second thought:

"Great, then we'll go rafting together this weekend!"
