Chapter 451 Is it my fault that things have come to this?
A taxi stopped at the foot of Lingyun Mountain.
Zhong Minglan paid the fare and got off the car.
Just now, after hearing what Wang Chenglin said, he did hesitate for a moment.
But when she thought about how this bastard abandoned his wife and daughter and shamelessly hooked up with a female colleague, Zhong Minglan became furious again.
She looked at the towering Lingyun Mountain in front of her, and the resentment in her heart was as heavy as the mountain. The wind blew across her face, but it could not blow away the sadness in her eyes.
How could she not know about her husband's infidelity over the years? From the excuses he made for not coming home late at night, from the strange perfume she smelled accidentally, from his increasingly indifferent attitude towards the family, how could she not notice all these clues?
However, in order to give her daughter a complete home, she chose to swallow her anger, chose to cry alone in the middle of the night, and chose to put on a smile in front of her daughter.
She once thought that her tolerance could win her husband's change of heart and keep the family peaceful on the surface. However, reality gave her loud slaps in the face one after another.
She still remembered that time when she accidentally saw those explicit chat records on her husband’s mobile phone, and her heart instantly sank into an ice cellar.
With shaking hands, she held the phone to question her husband, but he just gave her a perfunctory reply and made excuses. At that moment, her world seemed to collapse.
She also called her parents-in-law to complain, hoping that they would be able to seek justice and help her husband return to the right path. But her parents-in-law's attitude made her extremely disappointed.
They said lightly that it was normal for men to have some affairs outside, and asked her not to worry too much and to focus on her family. She didn't understand why she had to bear all this when it was clearly her husband's fault?
Over the years, she has given everything for this family. She gets up early every day to prepare breakfast, sends her daughter to school and then rushes to work. After get off work, she has to buy groceries, cook, wash and clean!
She lived frugally and was reluctant to buy herself a new piece of clothing, while her husband used the money to please other women.
She tried her best to be a good wife and mother, but what she got in return was the betrayal of her husband and the indifference of her family.
Her daughter's innocent look every time she asked her father when he would be home was like a knife stabbing her heart.
Zhong Minglan bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes. She took a deep breath and vowed to herself that this time, she would not endure it anymore.
She wanted to live for herself once, and make that unfaithful man pay the price. Let everyone know that Wang Chenglin was a complete bastard!
The wind grew stronger, ruffling her hair, but also awakening her long-dormant courage.
On the other side, Wang Chenglin was thinking about it and felt restless.
He paced back and forth in the room, frowning, scratching his hair from time to time, sighing from time to time.
Thinking of Zhong Minglan and his daughter, he felt a little guilty and uneasy, but this guilt was quickly covered by selfish thoughts.
I am considered a successful person in my career. How many men can resist the colorful world outside?
He just made the same mistake that every man in the world would make!
Moreover, there is no harm without comparison. Zhong Minglan is now a yellow-faced woman. She doesn't know how to clean herself up. She wears the same old clothes all day long and has no image at all.
When he gets home, he keeps complaining about this and that, and his ears are sorely tired of hearing it.
She would nag him about everything, including the children's affairs and household chores, which made him feel extremely annoyed.
Every time he saw her resentful face, he lost all interest.
On the other hand, his female colleague, Xiao Zhou, was young, beautiful, and graceful. Her skin was so tender that it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it, and her smile could melt his heart.
Being with her, Wang Chenglin felt as if he had returned to his youth, full of energy and passion.
Xiao Zhou is also very obedient and sensible, never causing trouble for him. When he is tired from work, he will make him a cup of coffee and comfort him in a soft voice.
When he wants to relax, she will accompany him to the movies, fishing, and traveling, and never complain.
She would not be a spoilsport like Zhong Minglan, who only cared about the daily necessities of life and how to save money.
Wang Chenglin thought that the time spent with Xiao Zhou was the life he really wanted.
He felt that he had found the feeling of being admired and needed in Xiao Zhou.
Every look and every word from Xiao Zhou intoxicated him and made him feel like a real man.
However, deep down in his heart, Wang Chenglin was not completely free of fear and anxiety.
He knew that his behavior was immoral and was afraid of being discovered and criticized by others. He was also afraid of losing the career and reputation he had worked so hard for.
But desire and selfishness have taken over, making him desperate to continue indulging in this wrong relationship.
Now that things have come to this, it is better to admit it openly and make everything clear!
Thinking of this, Wang Chenglin narrowed his eyes and murmured, "No... I have to go to Lingyun Temple too!"
"It's definitely not just my fault that she and I have come to this point today!"
"If Zhong Minglan exaggerated, then it would be my fault alone!"
"Xiao Zhou!" Wang Chenglin frowned and said, "I'm going out for a while. You ask the company for a week's leave and stay at home. Don't go anywhere."
"I'll take care of the family affairs, and then we can be together openly!"
"If everything goes well, I'll marry you in a week!"
The woman called Xiao Zhou is 26 years old and has been secretly with Wang Chenglin for three years.
Hearing Wang Chenglin's words, Xiao Zhou was stunned for a moment.
The smile on her face disappeared in an instant, and a trace of panic and hesitation flashed in her eyes.
She had never thought about really marrying Wang Chenglin. She was with him just to have a backer in the company, to get more benefits, and to satisfy her own pursuit of material things.
Xiao Zhou knew clearly that her family would never agree to her marrying a divorced man in his forties with children.
And she didn't like Wang Chenglin that much...
What's more, Wang Chenglin is such a selfish man who has no sense of responsibility for his family. She pretended to be calm, squeezed out a forced smile and said, "Okay..."
Wang Chenglin frowned and said unhappily, "Why? You don't want to?"
Xiao Zhou quickly explained: "No, husband, I just think it's too sudden."
As he spoke, Xiao Zhou put his arms around Wang Chenglin's neck and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.
"I... I'm just afraid... I'm afraid that Zhong Minglan will make a fuss, and I'm also afraid that Shiyu won't accept me..."
Wang Chenglin's expression eased a bit, and he said, "These are not problems. As long as we are truly together, everything else can be solved."
Xiao Zhou secretly complained in her heart. She never expected that Wang Chenglin would suddenly propose marriage. She tried to comfort Wang Chenglin: "Husband, I will listen to you."
