Reap What You Sow!

“Scourge?”

Tang Xiao looked at her father with a shocked expression.

Divorce?

Leave without a thing?

Scourge?

She had never expected that her father, who had always doted on and cherished her, would say such ruthless words to her face.

It truly hurt to the core!

Pierced right through!

“Dad!!”

“What did you mean by what you just said?

I am your biological daughter!”

Tang Long snorted coldly: “You still remember that you’re my biological daughter?

Then how come you’ve been playing dumb, pretending not to hear what I just said?”

“Do you find my words offensive?

Then, what about your own behavior?

Have you shown any respect for me as your father?

Do you even consider me?”

Tang Xiao retorted: “I told you already.

Wu Jie and I will handle our own issues.

Why do you need to get so angry?

Let alone tell me to divorce and leave without a thing…”

“Hmph!

I’m angry, and it’s all because of you!”

Tang Long harshly interrupted Tang Xiao, stood up, and pointed angrily at her, threatening:

“I’m not just your father, I’m also someone who’s been through life.

I’m not afraid to tell you, from a man’s perspective, you’re completely in the wrong!”

“In relationships, whether it’s dating or marriage, it’s all about reciprocity!

You want to receive as much as you’re willing to give!”

“What does it mean for a couple to respect each other, to weather hardships together?

Why is the word ‘mutual’ used?”

“Wu Jie has been taking care of you like a princess, so you should serve him like an emperor!”

“He’s been so good to you, he’s spoiled you rotten.

You think he should be at your beck and call, caring for you in every little way, right?”

“Just because he’s a bit busy at work and can’t attend to you, you think he’s sick of you?”

“By your logic, does he need to revolve around you every day, serving you hand and foot, for you to be satisfied?”

“You’re sick!

Princess syndrome!

Really badly at that!”

…

Tang Long’s tirade left Tang Xiao speechless.

She was inherently not good at articulating her thoughts, nor was she adept at social interactions.

Faced with Tang Long’s relentless lecturing, she was naturally left with nothing to say, clueless about what to do.

Taking a heavy drag from his cigarette, Tang Long said resentfully:

“To others, you are the epitome of a perfect goddess!”

“Ah!

Good features, good figure, good temperament, good family background, and you think you’re a goddess?”

“Those people can only see the surface, not the heart.

If the world knew what kind of temper you have, who would still call you a goddess?”

“Although it’s not necessary for a woman to always dress up and make a spectacle of herself, let alone do all the housework…”

“But at the very least, you should be capable in both the drawing room and the kitchen, right?

You’ve been married for so long, have you ever cooked for him?”

Tang Xiao hung her head low and shook it slightly.

Tang Long was seriously irritated and he kept sighing.

“Tsk tsk!

How amazing!

Nearly half a year into marriage and you haven’t even cooked a single meal.

It’s lucky we have a washing machine at home, or you wouldn’t even consider washing clothes for him!”

“I cook…

not as deliciously as he does!” Tang Xiao offered a response.

Upon hearing this, Tang Long almost passed out from anger.

“Oh, come on!

What kind of reason is that?

And what kind of logic?”

“By your reasoning, if the cleaning is not done well, you don’t need to do housework?

If you’re not good enough, you don’t need to go to work?”

“Moreover, there’s a big difference between doing and not doing!

The meanings are entirely different!”

“By cooking, at least you show you’re willing to cook for him.

Whether it’s tasty or not, that’s a different matter!”

“But, oh no, you always think you know best.

If you think you don’t need to cook, then why bother eating?”

“You feel all comfy and entitled since Wu Jie waits on you, taking meticulous care of you, right?”

Tang Xiao looked up, “I admit I haven’t done well in that regard, but that’s not the crux of the problem!”

“What do you mean it’s not the crux?” Tang Long demanded: “Day-to-day life is all about handling the trivial matters and the small details, and people have just those four basic needs: food, clothing, shelter, and transportation.

If you can’t even satisfy a man’s stomach, there’s no need to talk about anything else!”

“I…”

Tang Xiao was at a loss for words once again.

“Stop making excuses!”

Tang Long rebuked coldly:

“A truly good wife is capable of managing the household, taking care of the parents, educating the children, and assisting her husband.”

“You don’t cook for Wu Jie, you don’t buy clothes for him, and you never bring gifts when visiting our parents!”

“It’s just as well you two haven’t had children; otherwise, I really couldn’t imagine how they would starve or die from neglect in your care!”

“You are used to being independent, self-centered, thinking that just because you make a fine War King or CEO, you’re the best!”

“But in terms of interacting and dealing with people, you’re sadly lacking!

You’ve no idea what it means to be understanding and mutually respectful!”

“You severely lack education in social interactions, and that’s my fault too, for not providing you with proper upbringing!”

Tang Xiao’s head hung low as she clenched and unclenched her fists repetitively.

For those accustomed to glory and applause, praises and admiration, and inherently steeped in pride…

Such criticism and scolding…

Really hurt!

It was brutal!

That’s how people are.

Flattery and sycophantic words are comfortable to hear, pleasurable, and make one very happy.

But the moment someone points out our shortcomings, weaknesses, and flaws to our face or behind our back, it’s particularly irksome.

That’s why there’s a saying, “Don’t slap the face, don’t uncover one’s shortcomings.”

In today’s society.

Excessive flattery and enthusiastic hyping are all the rage.

Even a piece of crap can be extolled for its myriad uses.

But the fact is, there’s no perfect gold, no flawless human.

As long as you’re living in the mortal world, you’re bound to have faults.

Tang Xiao knew she was no exception!

It’s just…

To have her father spell it out so bluntly and crudely…

Was like ripping off a scabbed wound, causing deep, piercing pain.

It was like revealing a secret buried deep within one’s heart, prompting feelings of panic and shame.

Seeing his daughter’s cheeks flush with what seemed like shame, Tang Long said mockingly:

“You still have the decency to blush!

Do you even know what shame is?”

“Think about your actions.

Are they fair to Wu Jie?

Are they fair to your conscience?”

“Not to mention the old injury that frequently torments you, causes you unbearable pain, and could paralyze you or even lead to death at any time!”

“Who was it that swore to heaven, willing to do anything for the one who cured you?

Even to offer themselves body and soul, to labor like an ox or a horse?”

“Yet what’s the reality?

Wu Jie not only healed your old wounds but also propelled your career to new heights!”

“Your so-called ‘laboring like an ox or a horse’?

Is that leaving Wu Jie to his own devices in research, while you’re here flirting and playing the field?”

“A drop of water given in need, should be returned with a springing fountain!

Wu Jie’s kindness saved your life, and this is how you repay him?”

“Making Wu Jie so obedient, taking care of you, and then you complain that he’s tired of you, what the hell!”

“If we were back in ancient times, someone as ungrateful as you would be punished with a pig cage drowning, get it?”

He tossed away his cigarette butt, Tang Long heaved a sigh, and glanced scornfully at Tang Xiao.

“I don’t care if Wu Jie did anything wrong, but from what I’ve seen and heard with my own eyes and ears, you are ludicrously at fault!”

“You’ve entirely gone back on your word, you never kept your promise, and you’ve entirely misplaced your own position!”

“To put it bluntly, if you were serious about your oath, you should be warming Wu Jie’s bed as a maid!”

“Doing laundry, cooking, mopping the floor, taking care of household chores, being a wife and mentor, caring for the elderly…

that’s what ‘laboring like an ox or a horse’ truly means!”

“Instead of leaving him to hole up in research for seven days, neglected, wearing the same clothes, eating packed meals!!”

He emphatically punctuated the last word.

Tang Long looked off into the distance, lost in thought.

“So…

Don’t be upset when I call you a scourge, and don’t think I’m being too harsh, it’s because you’ve gone too far!”

“You’re unwilling to say what went wrong between the two of you, but even if Wu Jie was unfaithful, surrounded by beauty, you have no right to neglect him like this!”

“And now, with your attitude so cold, refusing to admit your mistakes or to repent, I think it will be extremely awkward when Wu Jie arrives, so if that’s the case, just get a divorce!”

“With your poor ability to maintain relationships, what good is it having you around?

To be a pretty vase?

Sure, you’re good-looking now, but will that last as you age?

So you should leave with nothing, giving the whole conglomerate to him could be considered some kind of meager compensation!”

Having said this, Tang Long took out a third cigarette, lit it, and began to smoke.

He glanced at Tang Xiao, who remained silent, and snorted with laughter.

“Still not willing to talk…

Fine, I’ll take your silence as agreement!

I’ll have someone bring him from Jiahuan City and get Lawyer Xu to prepare a divorce agreement as soon as possible; let’s aim to sign it tonight!”

“Tomorrow morning, I will take you to Genlong Village to apologize to Wu Jie’s parents.

As a daughter-in-law, you’re really not up to scratch.

Instead of dragging Wu Jie down, we should make way for a more deserving woman!”

“In my opinion, Bai Fengling isn’t bad.

She was once after fame and fortune, but she’s like a completely different person after going through life-and-death trials.

Now she’s virtuous, elegant, humble, and understanding.

If I were choosing a daughter-in-law, I’d want someone just like her!”

After expressing his sentiments, Tang Long smoked and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Leaving Tang Xiao alone, in disarray in the wind.

The night breeze was gentle, with willow catkins adrift.

The mountain air in October was still somewhat chilly.

But Tang Xiao’s heart was colder.

Not up to her position!

Four simple words summed up Tang Xiao’s entirety.

Oftentimes,

people are blinded in their situations, unable to see the fortune they are in.

She slowly squatted down, staring blankly at the turbulent river water.

Quietly reflecting on every word her father had said.

Tang Xiao suddenly felt overwhelmed with shame and guilt!

Just as her father had said.

Wu Jie had healed her, and she should have kept her promise.

Her very life was given by Wu Jie; what right had she to take his affection for granted?

How could she be so forgetful?

She should have been the one cooking meals, pouring tea, massaging shoulders, and serving with tenderness, not Wu Jie.

She really had healed and forgotten the pain, forgetting the vows she once made completely.

Free from the torment of old wounds, accustomed to being spoiled and loved, she became arrogant and conceited, seeing herself as some sort of empress.

Everyone had to be utterly devoted and obedient to her, without a shred of reluctance or disrespect.

But now, looking back, she realized that she was suffering from princess syndrome, and quite severely too.

These past few days, she acted as if possessed, wanting nothing more than to cling to Chu Yunxuan every day!

Chu Yunxuan was a woman, for heaven’s sake!

Was she out of her mind?

And before, she was so passionate about her work, dealing with documents and striving to improve every day.

But what about these days?

Alas!

With a sigh, Tang Xiao suddenly realized that she truly had changed and was in the wrong.

She knew she had many flaws; she never considered herself perfect.

But now, her faults were so exaggerated that even her father, who had always doted on her, detested her, to the point of calling her a scourge!

“What should I do?

Should I really do as my father said and leave with nothing, initiate the divorce?”

“Not up to her position…

Yes!

With my current state, where do I qualify as a competent wife?

Am I even human?”

“There are many women by his side who are desperate to have him, each more outstanding than the next.

What am I then?”

“They want him and cannot have him due to his loyalty, so they try every trick in the book, and what about me?”

“Oblivious to the blessings I had, riding on his favor, I recklessly courted trouble and now I’ve utterly ruined everything for myself!!”

Tang Xiao picked up a stone and hurled it into the river.

With a splash,

the water scattered, but the rushing river continued its relentless flow unabated.

She stared blankly for a long while, until the sky turned completely dark.

Amid hunger and cold, Tang Xiao numbly got up and walked away.

With a growling stomach, she missed the days when she simply had to say she was hungry and Wu Jie would cook and prepare meals, taking care of her tenderly.

He would often let her eat first, making sure she was full and satisfied before he would sneak into the kitchen to eat leftovers.

The memories flashed vividly before her eyes, but who was the one truly acting like an ox or a horse?

If only…

But once divorced, things could never go back!

The more Tang Xiao thought, the chillier she felt, and as she walked, she suddenly collapsed to the ground, as if drained of all energy.

In an instant,

tears gushed out like a dam had burst.

Her heart ached as if it were being cut by knives, and she bit her lip so hard it bled.

In profound grief, she took out her phone and sent a message.

“I’m hungry, could you cook for me one last time?”

…
