The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits
Chapter 595 - 599: Singlism (24)

Chapter 595: Chapter 599: Singlism (24)

Wan Shimin’s gaze flickered over the two women not far from him, seemingly failing to notice that they were discussing him.

But looking further down, seeing the fists clenched tightly at his chest, one could tell his mood was anything but calm.

The joy of re-entering this social circle vanished without a trace in an instant.

He lost the interest to stay any longer, turning around and leaving with a lonely expression.

After driving aimlessly around the streets, with nowhere to go, he could only head home.

The Wan Family had repurchased the large villa they used to live in, but Wan Shimin just didn’t want to step through the door.

Sitting in the car, he smoked cigarettes for a while until the persistent ringing of his phone made him extinguish the butt and head inside the house.

Upon entering, he saw his mother, kneeling on the floor and cleaning just like a housekeeper, while his father busied himself in the kitchen.

His wife in name only was dressed in a white suit, comfortably semi-reclining on the couch with a beauty in her arms.

Hearing the noise at the door, Xue Li glanced over. The casual look on her face immediately turned displeased, "Why are you back so late? The dishes have piled up in the kitchen, why haven’t you washed them?"

Having just been ridiculed at the banquet, Wan Shimin was already in a bad mood. Xue Li’s blunt questioning triggered his anger, and he exploded with a bang.

Wan Shimin snapped fiercely, like an angry dog, "Wash what? I am your man... since when do men wash dishes and do chores? That’s something you should do."

Xue Li laughed coldly, switching the position of her legs, "Indeed, as the old saying goes, ’men tend the fields, women tend the home.’

That women used to handle household chores was because they did not need to provide for the family."

"Now look, you eat mine, live in what’s mine, use what’s mine... you’re not only living off me, but I’m also supporting your parents."

"Besides, in what way are you my man..."

As Xue Li spoke, the girl in her arms tightened her embrace around her waist, interrupting, "She’s my woman, who are you... Get lost, don’t always try to make your presence felt."

"Don’t you know what you’re worth..."

Wan Shimin dared not do anything to Xue Li, but for the girl in Xue Li’s arms, malice arose from within him.

However, before he could do anything, Wan Jia Bing, busy in the kitchen, heard the commotion and quickly ran out.

He swiftly pulled his son aside, trying to calm him down, "What are you doing?"

Wan Shimin’s lips quivered, "She’s now bringing people into our home."

Wan Jia Bing saw things in a more relaxed light, "What are you afraid of? No matter what they do, they’re just two women. What can they do? If you really care, get someone to have a child soon. Once Xue Li has a child, things should improve."

"But she won’t let me get close..."

"Can’t you come up with your own solution?"

But before Wan Shimin could figure out a solution, Xue Li was the one who got pregnant first.

The whole Wan Family was in an uproar...

Without a man, just two women, could they reproduce asexually?

Now, Wan Shimin had truly become the joke of jokes.

Not only was he wearing a green ’hat,’ but he also had to smile and accept an illegitimate child.

The Wan Family wanted to make a scene, but Xue Li was notoriously tough; not even a ripple was caused before she suppressed it all.

Wanting a divorce, Xue Li now had an illegitimate child but still refused to agree.

With each passing day, Wan Shimin’s demeanor grew more sullen.

When Su Li saw him again, he was running wildly in the streets like a madman.

Behind him, several men and women dressed in white lab coats and nurse uniforms were chasing him.

Wan Shimin was soon caught, restrained by several people and bundled into a nearby car.

Then the car started and sped away with its passenger.

The car happened to drive past Su Li, and she locked eyes with the pair in the car window, dull and lifeless.

Wan Shimin inside the car also recognized Su Li. He banged on the window desperately, lips moving as if he wanted to say something.

However, his frenzied actions were quickly stopped by the others in the car.

A sedative was injected, and all was quiet.

Wan Shimin felt as if he were dreaming, in the dream, he hadn’t married Xue Li, but after his relentless pursuit, he had married Su Li instead.

Su Li’s personality wasn’t what he recognized, but more like what Aunt Zhu once mentioned at the dinner table.

The life of being married to Su Li, that was truly a life for humans.

Even if the Wan Family fell from grace, he still lived like a young master.

Even his parents lived comfortably and at ease.

But what happened later?

Oh, that’s right, Su Li jumped off a building, something about depression...

But, if she was dead, so what? Who cared?

It was fortunate she left some money for the kids, enough for their family to use.

Thinking of this, Wan Shimin struggled frantically. He didn’t want to be here anymore, any claim of his mania was simply the wretched Xue Li trying to trick him, deliberately concocted.

He wanted to go back to Su Li, as long as he remarried her, he was certain he could have a good life.

"The patient in bed 402 is having another manic episode."

"Increase his injection dosage."

"Su Peng, are you blind? Didn’t you see me standing here?"

Enduring the cold wind, Zhu Zhizhua, who had waited a long time at the entrance of Su Peng’s company, felt a surge of anger as she saw her ex-husband pretend not to notice her.

Seeing that he remained indifferent and continued walking forward as if he hadn’t heard her, Zhu Zhizhua, fearing that he would truly walk away, hurried in front of Su Peng and stopped him.

Su Peng was truly impatient and asked irritably, "What on earth do you want?"

Zhu Zhizhua was now truly shameless, as she said, "Let’s remarry."

Only after getting divorced did she realize how good this man was.

She knew her own temper. Not many could endure it.

One was Su Peng, her ex-husband, and the other was Su Li, her daughter.

Now that both had distanced themselves from her, she realized how much shelter from the storm this underappreciated father and daughter had provided her.

Once living alone, not only did she lack someone to care for her, but because of her character, she was fighting with neighbors and friends, every three days a small quarrel, every five a big one.

Only then did she realize how disadvantageous a sharp personality was in society.

The reason her edges hadn’t been smoothed out over the years was all because of Su Peng’s protection.

Su Peng: "Impossible. I’ve finally escaped the sea of suffering, how could I possibly step back into it."

Zhu Zhizhua’s character had become much more peaceful nowadays. Had it been the past, such an impolite remark from Su Peng would probably have made her explode with rage and jump three feet high.

Zhu Zhizhua bit her lip, playing the scoundrel: "If you don’t remarry me, I’ll go find our daughter."

She had her ex-husband figured out; what he cherished most was their daughter.

Because of their daughter, he hadn’t completely cut ties with her, and that gave her a sliver of confidence.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Zhizhua brought up Su Li, Su Peng turned like a cat with its tail stepped on, his demeanor instantly changing.

"You dare. If you dare interfere with our daughter again, I won’t forgive you."

No matter how persistently Zhu Zhizhua clung on, she never remarried her ex-husband in this lifetime.

With Su Peng’s presence, Su Li also lived a very comfortable and easy life.

If the first half of her life was filled with resentment for Zhu Zhizhua, in the second half, seeing her daughter, although single, living better than all the girls in her circle of relatives and friends, she found peace.

Compared to the girls whose hair was prematurely grayed by marriage and children, her daughter, even past fifty, looked as if she was only in her early thirties.

Indeed, marriage was the grave of a woman’s happiness.

By the end, Zhu Zhizhua even thought, if she was decades younger and lived in this era, she wouldn’t marry either.
