CHAPTER 506: 486: MINDSET (MERGED CHAPTER 34-35)_2

Hearing his sister’s voice, Liu Zhiyuan slowly sat up. Seeing his sister so thin shocked him, and his expression immediately turned sour.

"Don’t try to persuade me here. Look at yourself; you’re a mere shadow of a human. If you’re unhappy over there, then come back. I don’t believe that Xiang Weilai can stay there forever, ignoring you here all the time."

"Brother, stop saying that. He’s actually good to me."

"What do you mean by ’good’? Married for so long, yet he never touches you and fools around outside. Is this what you call good? Is this the life you want? I think you’re just too soft-hearted, always conceding, that’s why you’ve spoiled him like this. Now that you’re back, don’t go back. Stay here for now."

In response to her brother’s anger, Liu Rui just smiled, "Don’t worry, this time I also want to stay a few more days. Originally, I wanted him to come back with me. After being away for so long, we should come back to have a look. But he said he’s too busy, so I came back alone."

Then, with a bitter smile, she added, "Coming back alone is also quite good, more relaxed. I don’t have to keep worrying about what he’s doing every day."

Seeing his sister in such a state, Liu Zhiyuan didn’t want to say more for fear it would make her feel worse. "Now you’re back, when you’re free, spend more time with old friends. Actually, Ye Ling is nice too. Don’t bear a grudge against her because of what happened between her and Weilai in the past. After getting married, you realize many things; sometimes we’re blinded by what’s in front of us."

Liu Rui glanced gently at her brother, then smiled and nodded without saying much.

In fact, at first, she did resent Ye Ling, feeling that Ye Ling had taken the man she loved. And when Xiang Weilai resented her, she also hated Ye Ling, thinking that if it weren’t for Ye Ling, Xiang Weilai wouldn’t hate her. So it was all Ye Ling’s fault.

But as time passed, she slowly thought through many things and realized that the mistake wasn’t on Ye Ling; it was on herself. It was her own choice. If she hadn’t made that choice, today’s situation wouldn’t have happened, and she wouldn’t be living so painfully.

So hearing her brother say these things, even though Liu Rui didn’t say much, she knew her big brother had grown up.

Because of Liu Rui’s return, the Liu Family finally had a bit of good atmosphere. That evening, Wu Duoyi cooked a lot of delicious food. With Ye Qian back too, the family had a joyful reunion meal. After dinner, Ye Qian and Liu Rui chatted a lot, but seeing it was getting late, Liu Rui urged Ye Qian to rest.

With the bedroom door closed, Liu Zhiyuan’s mocking voice came through. "Pretending to be such a virtuous wife and good mother for so long outside must be exhausting, right? Why not stay out a bit longer; why rush back? After all, no one’s making you. Or is it that no one’s there to watch the show without you?"

"Liu Zhiyuan, do you know why I don’t want to talk to you now? It’s because of your attitude, always mocking as if I’ve done something wrong. Think about your own mistakes. Yes, you’re right, I do think about someone else, but it’s just in my mind, I haven’t done anything. But you? You sleep with someone else in our house." For over a month since returning to the Liu Family, facing Liu Zhiyuan’s sarcasm, Ye Qian couldn’t stand it anymore. "You did such wrong things, yet you have the nerve to criticize me. If you really can’t stand seeing me, we can divorce. You don’t want a divorce but speak like this every day; is this what you want?"

Confronting Ye Qian, who was about to collapse with rage, Liu Zhiyuan just burst into laughter, "Yes, this is what I want, to see you frantic yet helpless, so you can understand how I feel."

"You say you only kept someone in your heart and did nothing else, so what about your miscarriage? Don’t say it was Zhao Guodong’s doing. Knowing your true thoughts, when you think it over, it’s clear, right? You want Shen Bin to feel guilty for you his whole life, so he remembers you, always feeling he owes you, right? Thus keeping you in his heart forever, not forgetting you because you have left a mark, right!"
