"Hearing what you say, how much money did your husband give you?"
Chen Feng spoke bluntly.
Cheng Yuhuan didn't get angry and said calmly: "I've been with him for more than two years. Aside from everyday necessities and so jewelry and a car, there's not much. My savings are mostly from what I earned before, totaling just five or six million."
"Then what did you marry him for? Was it for love?" Chen Feng said with a hint of sarcasm.
He didn't actually look down on her; he just thought that with her looks, she could have married better, at least to a younger man rather than soone her father's age.
After all, she was his high school classmate, the class beauty, and he had a crush on her back then.
This dream girl for many of the boys in the class, marrying a little old man, felt like a dream shattered.
Chen Feng felt a bit angry at her for not fighting for more and felt she was worth more.
Unaware of Chen Feng's thoughts, Cheng Yuhuan likely found his words harsh, and her expression changed slightly. But ultimately, she didn't get angry and just sighed, saying: "Believe it or not, I didn't marry him for his money, not entirely at least. After all, I had over a million in savings and wasn't short of money."
Chen Feng believed her sowhat and asked, "Then what did you marry him for?"
Cheng Yuhuan smiled and said: "Stability, mainly. Before I married him, I dated many n. So were good guys, but none could give a sense of stable and reliable life. He could give that feeling, so I married him in the end. He may not be the most suitable man to be my husband, but he is one who can provide with enough security to live a stable life."
Cheng Yuhuan spoke candidly, even admitting to dating many n before, which Chen Feng had to admire for her frankness.
He also thought her words were genuine. Perhaps after her family's fall from grace and dealing with scoundrels, she deeply lacked a sense of security. Perhaps after dating many n, she grew tired and wanted to find an honest, reliable, older man with economic stability to take over.
She might even have so father complex, so choosing a man more than ten years older as her husband doesn't seem all that strange.
"As long as you're happy," Chen Feng said, then let the subject drop.
Everyone has their own thoughts and choices. Ultimately, how their life turns out, only they know.
"Actually, after marrying him, life hasn't been very happy," Cheng Yuhuan suddenly said in a low tone.
Chen Feng hesitated but, seeing her look disheartened, decided to respond: "Why aren't you happy?"
As expected, Cheng Yuhuan continued: "To put it simply, he's lustful. He's almost fifty and still fools around outside, sotis spending the night with two young models at a club, not even coming ho.
Before I married him, I knew about his flaw but thought he would change. He promised he would but couldn't stick to it for even a year. In the end, a leopard can't change its spots. Maybe it's an ailnt you n have. Once you have money, you fool around."
Hearing this, Chen Feng wasn't surprised. Her husband had initially been attracted by her looks and then divorced his first wife. Strictly speaking, Cheng Yuhuan was a mistress who took the main role.
How much fidelity can a man who leaves his wife and child for a mistress have?
So Chen Feng casually suggested, "You could get a divorce. Even with a daughter, you'd still be in demand, and many n would pursue you."
Cheng Yuhuan gave him a sidelong glance, "Easy for you to say. Divorce isn't that easy. Plus, if I divorce him, I may not find a better, more suitable man."
Chen Feng smiled, "Separation might not be that hard? When I divorced, I reached an agreent with my ex-wife and did it on the sa day."
"You're you, I'm , and besides, you didn't have a child when you got a divorce."
Chen Feng saw through her imdiately, "At the end of the day, I think you're reluctant to give up the comfortable life he provides."
Cheng Yuhuan glanced at him playfully, "You seem to know well, my old classmate."
Chen Feng chuckled, "Is that really so hard to guess? When you won know your husbands are cheating and still won't divorce them, unless you love them dearly, it must be about the money, not wanting to leave your comfort zone."
Cheng Yuhuan argued, "Money is money, a comfortable life is a comfortable life. I'm not staying with him because of the money."
Chen Feng teased, "Without money, where does the comfortable life co from?"
Cheng Yuhuan was montarily speechless, turning to glare at Chen Feng fiercely.
Smart people see through things without exposing them, yet in this matter, Chen Feng lacked emotional intelligence, or perhaps he didn't care if his words upset Cheng Yuhuan.
They both fell silent. After walking a little further, Cheng Yuhuan suddenly started speaking to him in their hotown dialect, "Alright, you're right. I'm mainly staying because of the money. After all, he has billions in wealth.
And before we married, I signed a prenuptial agreent with him. If we divorce, I can only get five million as a settlent. How could I be willing to accept that? I've given him a child. At least I need to get sothing satisfactory before I consider divorce. Otherwise, it would be too easy for him."
"Why did you agree to a prenuptial agreent with him?" Chen Feng was sowhat surprised, seeing as she always seed a smart woman, signing a prenup seed unwise.
"Do you think I could have married him without signing a prenup? I'm not dumb, and neither is he."
"So it sounds like you were proactive in marrying him. I thought it was your husband who proposed to you." Chen Feng said with a hint of teasing.
"I wasn't proactive at all," Cheng Yuhuan flat-out denied. "I accidentally beca pregnant with his child back then. I made him give an explanation: either I have the child terminated, or he marries . He chose to marry ."
Chen Feng wanted to add, "He divorced to marry you."
But ultimately, Chen Feng's emotional intelligence prevailed, and he didn't say the hurtful words.
In this matter, Cheng Yuhuan was clearly a calculating opportunist, using her pregnancy to force Zhang into divorcing his wife to marry her, achieving her goal of being the main wife.
Of course, Zhang was not easily fooled either. Before marrying her, he set up a prenuptial agreent, keeping precautions against Cheng Yuhuan.
This couple had their own calculations, eting each other's needs.
But the depth of emotion between such a couple is questionable, arguably nonsense.
