Chapter 942 Devoted
Regardless of their ulterior motives, some people prioritize self-interest above all else.
Moreover, considering Qin Ruixue's conditions, Xie Wenjie knew that this was already his best choice.
So the two of them have been doing quite well since they got married.
There are countless marriages that are not based on love, so the fact that these two are now is a pleasant surprise.
Of course, this is what everyone sees on the surface; no one knows what the real situation is.
But no matter what, no one would dare to bully her.
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is acceptable, fairly standard, and similar to that of most mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships in this circle where the families are well-matched.
However, when Qin Ruixue saw Lu Qiaoge with her mother, she still felt a little envious.
To be honest, her mother-in-law looked down on her deep down.
She just didn't understand, what was there to look down on?
I'm divorced, but I'm still a virgin. Your son, on the other hand, is actually married. Although he doesn't have children, he's been used by someone else; he's a secondhand woman.
On one occasion, her mother-in-law couldn't hold back her dissatisfaction and said a few sarcastic things to her.
Qin Ruixue was definitely not the type to swallow her anger, so she immediately retaliated with the words mentioned above.
She said even harsher things, showing no respect whatsoever to her mother-in-law.
“I’m not afraid of you telling Xie Wenjie. I dare to tell you directly right now that I have been married and divorced, but everyone knows our situation, it’s just a certificate.”
But your son is different. He and your ex-daughter-in-law were living a very happy life together. She was used, secondhand. I haven't even complained about him, but you're already complaining about me.
"Are you going to say that to your son?"
At that time, her mother-in-law was so angry that her face turned blue and she almost fainted.
After that confrontation, Qin Ruixue's mother-in-law never dared to make sarcastic remarks or gossip again; she was incredibly obedient.
However, she must have had some resentment towards her, but Qin Ruixue didn't care.
She had no intention of living with her mother-in-law. Xie Wenjie's workplace provided her with housing, and she also had her own place, so there was no need for her to be subservient to her mother-in-law. Besides, her family wasn't ordinary; in fact, it was the Xie family who were marrying above their station.
Therefore, Qin Ruixue's complexion was rosy, and although she didn't have children yet, she didn't seem to be unhappy with her life.
But after dinner, when she pulled Lu Qiaoge aside to speak alone, Lu Qiaoge learned that Xie Wenjie's ex-wife was ill, and Xie Wenjie was now preparing to bring her to Beidu. His former mother-in-law was also coming with him.
After Lu Qiaoge asked what the illness was, she didn't say anything else. Qin Ruixue was still Qin Ruixue after all.
He glanced at her with surprise and asked, "Big sister, what are your thoughts now?"
Qin Ruixue curled the corners of her lips. She knew what Lu Qiaoge meant. She sighed and said, "Qiaoge, I'm not afraid to tell you, this marriage of ours is just like that. I don't like him, and he doesn't like me."
What he's doing now is understandable. People say that even if a deal falls through, goodwill should remain. In any case, they've been together for several years and are a loving couple, unlike the two of us.
It's normal to go to the capital for treatment when you're sick; how could they possibly ignore it?
If Xie Wenjie were a sensible person, he could handle this matter well.
If he's a clueless person who makes me lose face, I won't let him off the hook!
She then added, "This is also a test for him. If he passes this test, really, I will settle down and live a peaceful life with him, and have a child with him."
Nowadays, the rule of only allowing one child is still strictly enforced by workplaces.
What could Lu Qiaoge say?
There's really nothing you can say. Actually, when it comes to relationships and marriage, many people have a very clear understanding of their own thoughts and feelings.
In a relationship where everyone gets what they want and no feelings are invested, you can't say that it can't last, right?
Meanwhile, Xie Wenjie found an opportunity to tell his father-in-law about his past relationship with his ex-wife. Even if he didn't say it, his father-in-law would find out in a few days anyway, and he didn't dare lie to the old man. However, his father-in-law was reasonable.
"...Dad, don't worry, I will definitely arrange this matter properly. It will absolutely not affect my relationship with Ruixue, nor will it affect our marriage."
When Xie Wenjie mentioned the word "relationships," he paused for a moment.
He knew perfectly well whether Qin Ruixue had feelings for him, Xie Wenjie.
Qin Feng also knew the truth about his eldest daughter's marriage.
Although he felt helpless, there were many things he couldn't control.
Moreover, as a father, there are some things he can't say to his eldest daughter. Although the relationship between the mother and daughter has improved a lot in the past two years, it is still different from those children who have been raised by their parents since childhood.
There are regrets, but there's nothing we can do. When the mission takes precedence over everything else, everything else can be ignored.
Fortunately, Lu Qiaoge is at home.
It's not that Lu Qiaoge came to act as a peacemaker; that's not her role.
Qin Feng often felt that Lu Qiaoge could be his eldest daughter's teacher.
Moreover, the eldest daughter truly admires Lu Qiaoge.
I imagine that the eldest daughter called Lu Qiaoge upstairs just now, probably to talk about something similar.
Qin Feng said calmly to Xie Wenjie, "You're being too polite, kid. Of course I trust you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have entrusted Ruixue to you. Anyway, this is a matter for you young people; you can handle it well."
Xie Wenjie nodded quickly: "Dad, don't worry, I can definitely handle it."
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Speaking of his father-in-law's family, they are really understanding and reasonable. He often feels that he is lucky.
Deep down, he didn't really understand the psychology of women like Qin Ruixue and his ex-wife.
Why is it that if you like someone, you can stay by their side like this?
Like his ex-wife, she truly loved him; he was all she could think about.
But the two of them are really not a good match.
In previous years, things were alright, but once he was able to return to Beidu, not only his mother but also his family warned him that his ex-wife was not suitable to be his wife, and that her family would always be a burden and a drag on him.
Although I don't want to say it, I have to say that his ex-wife was somewhat timid and petty. She met his parents once and behaved terribly.
Then his mother told him that if he brought this person back to Beidu, she would commit suicide by drinking poison.
He felt guilty towards his ex-wife, so he made these arrangements before the divorce.
But his ex-wife couldn't forget him at all, refused to go on blind dates, and became depressed, which led to her current illness.
What can he do?
Can we just ignore it?
But he knew in his heart that his love for him... strictly speaking, was gone!
But his ex-wife still loves him wholeheartedly.
Just like his current wife, Qin Ruixue, who still seems to love Gu Jingwen wholeheartedly!
