Chapter 459: Chapter 318: Analysis

"Big Brother Mei was married?" Chuxia looked surprised, "I thought he was fond of Ye Meiru and that he was still single."

Ever since Mei Yitong helped her set a trap for Xiao Yuwen last time, beating Xiao Yuwen up badly, she had started calling Mei Yitong as Big Brother Mei instead of a bucket of coal.

"Not long after Ye Meiru was sent abroad by Grandpa Ye, Mei Yitong married Yoon Duo from the Yoon Family, who grew up with us and had always liked Mei Yitong.

During the years when Zhou Mikang and Ye Meiru studied abroad, Mei Yitong was very unhappy. Yoon Duo, who was such a quiet and introverted girl, often gathered everyone for parties. Even a fool could see what she was thinking.

However, she was too passive in nature and particularly cared about saving face. Although she did so much for Mei Yitong, she never admitted that she liked him.

Later, after Zhou Mikang and Ye Meiru broke up, Mei Yitong got together with Ye Meiru. When Yoon Duo, who took the blow silently, packed her bags and went to the north-west.

Not long after, Ye Meiru’s foreign boyfriend showed up, and Mei Yitong was once again out of the game by Ye Meiru. Hearing the news, Yoon Duo immediately ran back. This time, she didn’t hide her feelings and stayed by Mei Yitong’s side every day.

The Mei family and the Yoon family had always been close friends. Except for Yoon Duo’s mother feeling somewhat aggrieved for her daughter, the other elders were optimistic about the two young people getting together.

Soon, they got married. Everyone thought that after so many hardships to be together, they would cherish this hard-earned happiness.

However, it turned out that the two couldn’t make it through even a year together. The parents from both sides firmly disagreed with their divorce, so they had to choose to live separately. Even after that, their relationship didn’t improve at all, and they often wouldn’t speak a word to each other for a month.

Seeing this, both families couldn’t press any further and had to agree to let them amicably split. Actually, speaking of them individually, Mei Yitong is a responsible good man, and Yoon Duo is a gentle and virtuous good woman. They seem ideally matched, yet they just couldn’t make it as a couple. Now, as friends, their relationship is incredibly good.

So, from Mei Yitong’s marriage, I’ve really learned a lot of things. Two genuinely good people might not necessarily make a good married couple.

My sister gets along well with Yoon Duo, and I have a decent relationship with Mei Yitong as well. Combining what both of them have said, it is clear that they are both tolerant and kind to others. However, when it comes down to themselves, they often get stuck over trifles and won’t resolve conflicts but give each other the silent treatment. Starting from a few days, it gradually extended to more than ten days, and as time went by, their feelings faded until they really couldn’t stay together anymore.

Chuxia, I’m telling you this to warn you; Zhou Mikang’s temperament is even more direct and rough than Mei Yitong’s, and you, stubborn as always, are also not willing to talk things through. If you want to get along, you’d better change your temperament.

Changing Zhou Mikang’s stubbornness is impossible; if anyone has to change, it’s you. He is straightforward with his family; whatever you think, just say it to him. Don’t beat around the bush, or else, in the end, you’ll be disappointed and he’ll be angry, and you’ll part on bad terms."

At first, Chuxia had just listened to Jing Zhe’s story, but gradually, she realized that Jing Zhe was using Mei Yitong’s marriage as a lesson for her!

Was this the same thing, though? Although Jing Zhe had only described it roughly, she had understood it coherently from beginning to end, and she realized the fundamental reason for the marriage failure.

The complementarity of personalities is indeed important, and what is most taboo in marriage is indeed the cold war. However, the biggest issue between Mei Yitong and Yoon Duo was that Mei Yitong did not love Yoon Duo, while Yoon Duo deeply loved Mei Yitong.

On this point, her situation with Zhou Mikang was completely different. Zhou Mikang forced her to marry him not because he deeply loved her, but because of her personality and looks, although Zhou Mikang would not admit the issue of looks, she would never overlook this. If she were like Zhao Qiyan, short, fat, and ordinary-looking, would he have had such a deep impression of her?

People often say a girl’s inner beauty is the most important, and looks aren’t so important. Indeed, this rule holds when you’ve known each other for a long time, but if it’s a first meeting, or just a brief acquaintance, then it’s definitely the appearance that dominates.
