Chapter 299: Confusion

Ye Cheng felt as though his heart was being strangled; he could not breathe. Y-you You mean, you had other men as well?

Gao Wen laughed. She laughed so hard that her body began to rock back and forth. Of course. Of course, I had other men. Otherwise, how would I spend the long lonely nights? How would I ease my loneliness then? Im human. Im made of flesh and blood. My husband was outside, fooling around. Am I supposed to sleep in our bed alone and wait for him? Do you think Im a fool?

Ye Chengs entire body grew cold. He suppressed the pain in his heart and asked, Why didnt you divorce him? Leave him and find your own happiness. Why did you have to humiliate yourself in that manner?

Gao Wen choked on the wine before she laughed again. Her hands that were clutching the wine bottle were cold and sticky as she reached out and touched Ye Chengs face. She chuckled before she said, My silly son, how can I get a divorce? What would happen to me if Id gotten a divorce? Im not a strong and independent woman with a career of her own. If Id gotten a divorce, Id only be able to live on his alimony. What would happen if I couldnt support myself?

Gao Wen laughed before she took another swig from the wine bottle again. Isnt it great that I didnt get a divorce? Look at how were cheating on each other. Since he liked beautiful young women, I looked for handsome younger men as well. Its easy when you have the money to buy men. The Ye family has plenty of money so I can spend it as I please. She giggled before she continued to say, Didnt you say a womans greatest blessing is to be able to spend as she pleases?

Ye Cheng had grown numb from his mothers confessions. The woman in front of him felt like a stranger at this moment.

Gao Wen continued to laugh and laugh before her laughter suddenly turned into tears as her mood took a sudden turn. No, no, sometimes happiness cant be bought with money. A woman without love is just like a withered flower. The men dont love me. Ye He doesnt love me. How could he love me when he goes out to look for those dirty women?

And that man That man doesnt love me either. I once thought that as long as he asked me to get a divorce, I would divorce Ye He. It didnt matter if that man didnt divorce his wife; I was willing to stay by his side even if I had no status. However, he didnt say anything. He didnt want me, and he didnt love me. He only liked the thrill of having an affair with me. In his eyes, there was only that independent woman. He loved that woman so much. I cant figure it out. Why did he love that woman so much? Did he like their daughter? That cute elf-like girl? I gave birth to his daughter too. Shes so pretty as well. Why couldnt he love me even if it was just a little bit? Gao Wens voice was filled with pain.

Whats funny is that he actually got a divorce! That strong and independent woman divorced him! Ye Cheng, whats wrong with the world? He loved his wife so much, but she insisted on divorcing him! She didnt want him anymore because he had an affair and his mistress gave birth to a son for him!

What about me? I gave birth to a daughter for him as well! Why didnt he get a divorce for me? I would have accepted if he didnt get a divorce because he loved his wife. However, he actually divorced his beloved wife and married another woman who gave birth to a son for him!

All my life, Id suffered all kinds of losses. I gave birth to a son, but I still couldnt obtain my husbands love. I gave birth to a daughter, but I also couldnt obtain that mans love! Is there anyone more unlucky than I am? Is there?

Gao Wen reached up and wiped her tears away. I really hate them. I hate them so much I wish theyre all dead! Dead!

Then, she began to laugh hysterically again as she drank from the wine bottle and clutched it to her chest as though she was holding onto a life-saving raft.

Meanwhile, Ye Chengs legs had grown numb. He did not have the strength to stand up at all.
