Chapter 973: Chapter 970: Why Is It That We’re All Human, Yet Our Fates Are So Different? Qi Meiyi: "Lately, quite a few people have returned. If Yan Songping comes back, he will definitely inquire about me right away, and then try to take Rourou away. If he finds out that Rourou went to the Northwest on behalf of Xue Hong, with his temper, he would likely do something to me. Moreover, Hoonghoong is your daughter, he will probably think it’s through you that I treated Rourou that way." Xue Weiwen: "I didn’t do it, he won’t blame me for it." Qi Meiyi: "If Yan Songping really does come back, given his status, would he waste his breath on a mere junior director like you?" "I think you are trying to drag me down with you!" Annoyed by Qi Meiyi’s every word, Xue Weiwen sat up, pulled the cotton jacket from the quilt onto himself, leaned against the headboard, and stared at Qi Meiyi, saying: "Is it that you can’t stand me? Since it was you who did it, if your ex-husband does come knocking, you better explain yourself. If it involves me, then we’re done." If it wasn’t for her being eleven or twelve years younger and good-looking, he would never have married her. But he never expected the seemingly gentle woman to have such a cranky streak? Once or twice is fine, but she frequently made a fuss, and it was driving him crazy. Is it a pretty woman’s privilege? If it is, he would have known not to marry her! "Stop trying to scare me! And don’t think I can’t live without you." Unfazed by Xue Weiwen’s words, Qi Meiyi tossed the cotton jacket on the quilt and lay back in bed, turning her back to Xue Weiwen, "I’m going to sleep now. But let me be clear, if Yan Songping doesn’t confront me, fine. If he does, you must share the responsibility for Rourou’s situation." Xue Weiwen glared. Aoli Village. Yan Songping’s two secretaries are both men, and the three of them shared a room for the night. Right now, Yan Songping lay on the warm bed, contemplating how to deal with his ex-wife Qi Meiyi once he returns to North City. Before they divorced, undeniably, he had genuine feelings for her. Even though he later found out she remarried within a week after their divorce, he still couldn’t quite let go of his daughter Rourou and his ex-wife Qi Meiyi. But the last time he returned to North City, after learning some things about his daughter at the Xue family, honestly, he felt very disappointed with his ex-wife, especially after arriving at Aoli Village and knowing his daughter nearly lost her life. That disappointment had turned into resentment. However, no matter what he wanted to do to Qi Meiyi, he couldn’t disregard his daughter’s feelings. The reason is simple, regardless of Qi Meiyi’s faults, one cannot deny that she bore the daughter painstakingly for ten months and gave birth to her. Yet, it’s impossible for him to do nothing, with a pent-up frustration inside. In the deep quiet of the night, not only was Yan Songping, the official from North City, unable to sleep, but many others in Aoli Village also were sleepless. Xu family. "Third Sister, are you tossing and turning because something’s on your mind?" Xu Chunmei lay on her side on the bed, noticing Xu Chunxia turning like a pancake, somewhat guessing what was on her mind, but couldn’t help asking with concern. "Why are everyone human but have different fates?" Xu Chunxia’s tone was complex amid the gloom: "She’s just a girl like us, why does she have such a good family, while we... our sisters, from childhood to adulthood, were either beaten and scolded or frozen and starved. That’s nothing—she even got to attend school! Chunmei, tell Third Sister, why is that?"
