Chapter 79: Zhu Yingyue

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhu Yingyue was truly blindsided by this. After all, she could not tell that something was going on when the secretary came over for dinner in the past. The secretary was polite just like an ordinary employee.

Zhu Yingyue was unsurprisingly angry and wanted to leave, but her husband brought out their premarital agreement. It was then that she remembered that if she divorced him now, she would not get a single cent. She had not worked for over ten years and did not have any savings.

It was easy to go from being impoverished to being rich. However, it was difficult to go from being rich to being impoverished. She thought about it for a long time before she finally chose to tolerate her husband. Her husband was also shameless and continued on as though nothing had happened.

Life went on as usual, and he continued to celebrate all kinds of events with her. The only difference was her husband no longer used work as an excuse when he was spending time with his mistress. He would tell her bluntly to be more magnanimous. After all, he could see that Zhu Yingyue was unable to let go of the luxurious life she was living, and he was right. Moreover, she was not a very prideful person, to begin with.

Lin Xiaowan was greatly shocked after hearing the story.

“And then what happened?”

Zhu Yingyue smiled, looking nonchalant as though she did not have a care in the world. She replied, “Nothing happened. I didn’t divorce him until now and I’m just continuing on with my life…”

Then, she added self-deprecatingly, “You might look down on me. After all, sometimes, I also look down on myself. My husband cheated on me, and the third party even gave birth to a child. However, I actually tolerated it because he’s rich.”

At this time, the ladies were gathered in an exclusive clubhouse. It had all kinds of facilities there. For example, they were now in a private semi-open kitchen making butter biscuits as they chatted. If they needed anything, they only needed to call, and the butler would send whatever they needed over.

Lin Xiaowan hurriedly waved her hand and said, “No, no, everyone has their own reason for doing things. Who am 1 to judge?”

In fact, Lin Xiaowan felt that she had a lot in common with Zhu Yingyue. The latter got married not long after graduation and had never worked before. She met and got together with Huo Zheng as soon as she graduated, and not counting her part-time job, she had never entered the workforce before. Although she had not married Huo Zheng yet and had no intention of doing so for now, if nothing went wrong, she would marry Huo Zheng in the end. She really could not imagine being with another person other than Huo Zheng.

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Xiaowan concluded that the most important thing was to make money. With enough money, she would be able to do many things with confidence.

After a pause, Lin Xiaowan asked, “Why did you suddenly think of opening a dessert shop?

Zhu Yingyue placed the dough in the freezer and as she said with a bitter smile, “In fact, I didn’t even consider this in the beginning.”

Zhu Yingyue was a top financial student when she was at university. Naturally, the first thing she thought of was getting a job related to finance. However, she was forty this year and had zero relevant work experience. When she tried looking for a job, she was met with failure over and over again. Among the jobs she applied for, she was only called back for interviews with small companies. However, after her interview, she realized how completely out-of-depth she was professionally.

Zhu Yingyue really regretted getting married so soon after graduation. However, after returning home, when she was served by the help at home and saw the steaming food on the table, she felt that it might not be that bad to turn a blind eye to things, living life without worrying about food, shelter, and clothes.

Zhu Yingyue did not go into details and simply said to Lin Xiaowan, “It’s not easy to find a job related to my major. Moreover, I’m interested in desserts. I’ve learned baking for a while so I thought it might be a good idea to open up a dessert shop.”

Then, Zhu Yingyue asked Lin Xiaowan, “Actually, I’m curious as well. Why do you want to open a dessert shop?”

Lin Xiaowan looked a little embarrassed as she said, “I don’t want to spend Huo Zheng’s money all the time. I’ve been spending his money until now. I’m jobless so he has been supporting me.”

Zhu Yingyue sighed. “I’ve been married to my husband for so many years that I thought it only right for me to spend his money… However, when something happened, I finally realized that I really have no one to rely on…”

The two of them got to know each other today, but they did not talk much about the dessert shop. They exchanged contact information and agreed to meet again when they were free.

When Lin Xiaowan returned, she was absent-minded. She would look at Huo Zheng occasionally.

However, when Huo Zheng asked her about it, she would only shake her head and said that she was fine.

She was thinking about the future. She thought about what would happen in ten years. If she did not change and gave birth to a child, doing whatever she wanted and spending Huo Zheng’s money, she wondered if Huo Zheng would fall in love with another person. What would happen if he did?

She did not discuss this matter with Huo Zheng. After all, this was just her thoughts and speculations. She could not simply jump to conclusions..
