Chapter 1154: Couples who turn against each other are worse than enemies (5k!)

If Haojiang is a paradise for men, then Gangcheng is undoubtedly a paradise for women.

After the celebration party, Pei Yunxi swiftly flew to the once Pearl of The East.

If we turn back the clock to the last century, Gangcheng was undoubtedly far ahead of the mainland in terms of economy, culture, social civilization, and international influence.

But "time waits for no one."

With the advent of a new era, without anyone noticing, the mainland had already overtaken and left Gangcheng far behind, a fact that was particularly evident in the entertainment industry.

Old Hong Kong films once swept through countless households, with many lost in the brilliance of Gangcheng’s stars, unable to extricate themselves.

But times have changed.

Just like the scenery of this city, the glory of Hong Kong dramas has gone and will not return.

The once fierce battle among the immortals of Gangcheng’s film and television industry has now dwindled, leaving only a few veteran actors struggling to maintain the last glimmers of Hong Kong dramas.

Pei Yunxi was not unfamiliar with Gangcheng, although this city had "declined." Still, due to its unique geographical location and historical reasons, it remains a rare shopping paradise. For the same product, thanks to lower taxes, it is much cheaper than in the mainland. Perhaps she did not visit as frequently as other artists, but Pei Yunxi would still make several trips here a year.

But this time, her visit wasn’t for shopping.

Peninsula Hotel in Gangcheng.

The previous generation of Gangcheng stars loved to come here for afternoon tea.

When Pei Yunxi entered Yang Ni’s room, she immediately knew she hadn’t come in vain.

Yang Ni had met her once during her trip to Gangcheng, but compared to then, the current Yang Ni looked much more haggard, without makeup, her face full of the weariness that comes from lack of sleep. If she stepped out looking like this, let alone recognizing who she was, it would be a wonder if anyone could even tell she was a star.

"Yun Xi, thank you for coming."

"The Blue Expanse" is currently hot in theaters, and as the lead actress, coming all this way amid everything is an act of kindness that warms the despondent heart of Yang Ni, bringing a faint smile to her dim and lightless face.

"Is it Wei Dongxu who doesn’t agree?"

Pei Yunxi asked softly.

Yang Ni shook her head, gesturing for her to sit down on the sofa.

"He doesn’t agree, and I was prepared for that, but I never expected him to be so heartless."

On the matter of their child, even the strongest woman could become fragile.

Pei Yunxi had never thought she would hear such pain and helplessness in the other’s voice.

"What happened?"

"He won’t let me see our daughter, that’s one thing. I could secretly visit her at school, but Yun Xi, do you know what she calls me when she sees me?"

Yang Ni offered a feeble smile, "Heh, she actually calls me ’auntie’."

Pei Yunxi is not a gossipy person and does not pry into others’ privacy, but given their close relationship, she naturally understands Yang Ni’s love life.

Her relationship with ex-husband Wei Dongxu had already broken down long before their divorce, and their subsequent battle for child custody could only be described as vicious.

Under such circumstances, Wei Dongxu’s attitude could not possibly be anything but harmful.

Only a child will forever remain a mother’s vulnerability, and the best weapon to hurt a mother.

The flesh and blood she bore for ten months calling her "auntie."

The impact of that title is undoubtedly much more lethal than any action of Wei Dongxu, piercing through Yang Ni’s strong heart.

"It must have been Wei Dongxu’s instigation."

That’s the only comfort Pei Yunxi could offer.

"I know, but the way our daughter looks at me is getting more and more estranged. I’m really afraid that if this continues, she will completely forget about me."

"Yang Ni, you must start this lawsuit as soon as possible. Your daughter is still young; you have time to rebuild your relationship with her."

Pei Yunxi stated definitively.

A child does not understand right from wrong.

They grow close to whoever they spend time with.

Before, she wouldn’t have expressed too many opinions on this matter, as it was someone else’s private affair, but allowing a child not to recognize their mother was simply too cruel.

The grudges between adults should not affect the child.

That’s why Yang Ni has been hesitating all these years, trying to communicate, for just that reason.

"He found out I was secretly visiting our daughter, and he even cursed at me, calling me a lunatic."

Yang Ni’s eyes were lifeless, probably pondering why she had been so foolish to trust such a man with her life in the first place.

Her strength afterwards might have something to do with this failed marriage.

Pei Yunxi, who had limited experience in this area, pressed her lips together.

"...Yang Ni, you guys have been divorced for so long. And since he can instigate the child like this, it’s clear he has no feelings for you at all. Whatever he says shouldn’t surprise you, so there is no need for you to take it to heart."

"I understand. I’ve seen through it a long time ago. It is said that women can be heartless, but when men turn their backs, they can be far worse than us women."

Pei Yunxi was reserved about these remarks.

Everyone has different experiences, leading to different views.

Men like Wei Dongxu certainly exist, but that doesn’t mean all men in the world are like him.

Of course.

She definitely wouldn’t argue with her at this time.

"I’ve told him, I’m going to sue him until I win."

"Have you found a good legal team?"

Yang Ni nodded.

If it were just an ordinary mother, that would be one thing. However, she has more capital than her ex-husband Wei Dongxu, with a nearly tenfold difference in their fortunes.
