Inside and Outside the Siege: A Woman's Battle for Marriage

Chapter 23 Face to face with the mistress (2)
Du Mengyuan smiled meaningfully again, and said: "I believe you love him, and I also believe that love has no age distinction. But you can't love my husband. There are so many men in the world, why don't you love? You must love What about other people's husbands and married men?" As she spoke, Du Mengyuan became a little excited, she spread her right hand and kept shaking up and down, and said with emphasis, "Do you know that the man you love today He is a successful man, Zhang Zhonghou who has been reborn. If you go back 20 years, I don’t think you will fall in love with him. When I married him, he was so ordinary that you couldn’t find it if you threw it into the crowd. , as ordinary as any man on the street, but I still married him, and many men who were better than him were puzzled." Recalling the past, Du Mengyuan slowed down her tone, "You know what? ?In order to help him start a business, I gave up the career I love because I love him very much. Although he is very ordinary, I still love him very much and am willing to give up my career for him. Do you know? I also had you back then So young and beautiful, even prettier than you. I am a singer in an art troupe, I sing very well, and I have a lot of fans, yes, I am called a fan now..." Recalling the past, Du Mengyuan was a little intoxicated, but immediately returned to reality , said very sadly, "But for this man, I reluctantly gave up my career and started a restaurant business with him. Every day I carry a vegetable basket to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and bargain with the vegetable vendors... You know how much courage it takes Can you understand the feeling of a singer carrying a vegetable basket and bargaining with a vegetable vendor? For him, I could give up everything and not want anything. Can you do this? What you see now is a Zhang Zhonghou, a famous entrepreneur and billionaire; Zhang Zhonghou, a representative of the Provincial People's Congress and vice chairman of the Federation of Industry and Commerce; Zhang Zhonghou is a well-dressed and dignified Zhang Zhonghou. He has a halo on his head and money in his pocket. He runs a company and rides in a BMW , spend a lot of money, that's why he has grace and charm, that's why you love him, right? If he's just an ordinary man Zhang Zhonghou, even a poor and unkempt Zhang Zhonghou, would you still love him ? That's right, you are young and beautiful now, and you have the capital to make successful men like you, but I also used to have a beautiful face. Although it has passed, can it be written off? Do you know that Zhang Zhonghou's success has My silent efforts include my sweat and even tears. I will not say that I am a stepping stone and a ladder on his road to success, but at least I am his right-hand man and entrepreneurial partner, right? ? His success is not his alone, but belongs to our family."

Xu Qiuying lowered her head, her face was burning hot, like a thief who had stolen everything and was exposed in full view, ashamed and with nowhere to escape.He could only defend in a low voice: "I am the one who likes him..."

Du Mengyuan shook her head and became more and more excited: "No, you're lying! You like his money! You like his money first and then you like him. If he doesn't have money, you will never like him Don’t tell me how romantic and touching love exists between you and him, it’s all played by money, with money as the foundation.” Du Mengyuan paused and said, “As I said just now, he The success is not his alone, it belongs to our family, and all his money is due to me. Now you are enjoying the success without any effort, and you are on the ground. The mistress of a married family; to put it bluntly, you are a thief, you stole my things! You have to figure out that everything you have now is mine. I originally wanted to have a fight with Zhang Zhonghou and you You are dead, but I see that you are still young and have a better future, so I don't want to embarrass you too much, I just hope you rein in the precipice..."

Xu Qiuying was speechless and ashamed.I just hate that there are no seams on the ground, otherwise she would definitely get in.

Du Mengyuan sighed and continued: "Every time he lied to me that he was going on a business trip, socializing, or playing cards with the leader. In fact, I already guessed that he came to you. Poor me, I still believe in this scam. I helped him pack his luggage, packed his clothes, toothpaste, toothbrush, razor, etc., and even prepared a few pairs of underwear for him to wear. I even remembered clearly which brand of tea he liked to drink. You said you love him, can you do this?" As she spoke, Du Mengyuan burst into tears, "I have lived with him for decades, and we have had a beautiful love, how about we Will we get together? He must have told you that we have no love but marriage. This is a common trick used by old men to deceive little girls. Men are all bastards who are good at acting, and Zhang Zhonghou is the bastard among bastards! His Acting skills are comparable to professional actors... Well, even if we have no love now, we still have family ties! He likes to eat fried eggs with leeks from the farm, likes to eat seafood, and likes to put chili in stir-fried dishes, but he doesn’t like to put Monosodium glutamate... do you know this?" She shook her head and said, "You said you love him, but you definitely don't know what I said, and you can't do it, because you are still young, how can you know how to take care of him? You'll just lie in his arms and act like a spoiled child..."

Xu Qiuying's head was buzzing, and she silently listened to the bloody and tearful accusation of an angry wife, feeling ashamed, mixed feelings, and panicked.At this moment, she was very contradictory and felt in a dilemma.Jin, through Du Mengyuan's words, her heart was strongly shocked and her conscience was condemned, as if she couldn't bear it.Back, how should I go back?How can a back word be so good?It wasn't me who seduced her husband on my own initiative, it was Zhang Zhonghou who seduced me. Do you blame me?Haven't I paid and sacrificed?I gave him my youth and gave up my dream. I lived alone in this house, waiting for him every day.Others have a decent job, get married and start a family in a serious manner, but I am a mistress who can't see the sun.I am also a victim!

Du Mengyuan said: "You are still young now, and you still have the capital to make him miss you, but one day you will also grow old. At that time, do you still dare to say that he loves you? I have experienced so much suffering with him, Start a business together, have children, and he once kept saying that he loves me forever, but he still changed his mind today. You have no relationship with him at all. You like his money, and he likes your youth and beauty , between you is just a transaction, can your so-called love withstand the wear and tear of time? I can tell you: Impossible! Don't say you are my age, I dare say that in a few years, he will be another Find a younger woman to replace you! You will become an outdated mistress!"

Du Mengyuan's words were deafening and enlightening.Yes!In fact, everything Du Mengyuan said is the truth.She has also considered these issues, and she has also been troubled in her heart.Being someone else's mistress is not a good name, and being sneaky and hiding is not a long-term solution after all.More importantly, if a man can have a second wife, he can also have a third, fourth, fifth, or female wife... At that time, what role will he play?After all, Du Mengyuan is Zhang Zhonghou's legal wife. After all, she still has a marriage certificate, even if it's just a piece of paper, there is still a piece of paper, and this piece of paper is protected by law.I don't even have this piece of paper!Not to mention that she will get old in the future, even if Zhang Zhonghou will have a third wife and fourth wife one day, she will definitely be left out in the cold.At that time, who will protect her rights?Could it be that she, like Du Mengyuan now, went to negotiate with Zhang Zhonghou's three wives and four wives?In what capacity is she negotiating?Negotiate as a mistress?That doesn't make people laugh out loud!
Xu Qiuying was in a mess and didn't know what to say: "Sister Du, thank you for reminding me. I see."

Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Du Mengyuan got up and said, "Everyone is a woman, and I am talking to you with an open heart today. I hope you will think about what I said seriously, so that you can take care of yourself, respect yourself, and don't play games with your life." After she finished speaking, she Just opened the door and left.

Xu Qiuying pondered over what Du Mengyuan said over and over again.I thought so!It's time for you to think about it.If we continue to waste time with Zhang Zhonghou like this, I'm afraid it will be too late to regret it someday.

Don't push men to mistresses
After work, Zhang Zhonghou went home early.Xu Qiuying had already called to tell him that Du Mengyuan had approached her, and he was worried that if he didn't go home and deal with this matter properly, something big would happen.

Zhang Zhonghou was sitting in the living room smoking a cigarette while Du Mengyuan was watching TV. The two of them suddenly seemed like strangers, not saying a word to each other.

Zhao Pinghai ran to the kitchen to talk to Linda, saying that he would help Linda, but he was actually avoiding it. He knew that the boss and the boss's wife were bound to have a war.

Du Mengyuan turned off the TV, threw the remote control on the coffee table forcefully, and said coldly to Zhang Zhonghou: "You came back so early today? Didn't you socialize?"

Of course Zhang Zhonghou knew that it was Du Mengyuan who was teasing him, but he still responded: "Yes."

"Are you not on a business trip?"

"Ah."

"I can't believe Zhang Zhonghou, I trust you so much, you still have a mistress outside." Du Mengyuan sneered, "After a long time, it turns out that this big project of Xu Qiuying made you often travel and socialize. Zhang Zhonghou, you are really hiding it." Deep."

Zhang Zhonghou smoked a stuffy cigarette without saying a word, looking like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.

Du Mengyuan shook her head, mocking Zhang Zhonghou as if she was talking to herself: "Let's say you are acting, but you still don't admit it, Zhang Zhonghou, you act really well, it's a great loss for the Chinese performing arts circle if you don't become an actor. Every day you talk about business trips, entertainment, playing cards with the leader... I really thought you were busier than the President of the United States, so it turns out that you have a home away from home."

Zhang Zhonghou put out the cigarette in the ashtray, glanced at Du Mengyuan, and said lightly, "Isn't it just to make friends? What's the fuss about? Is it worth mobilizing so many people?"

"Make friends? Bah! You are a mistress! You have to figure it out." Du Mengyuan became excited, "In the old society, you are called a concubine! Marry a concubine!"

"You mentioned this issue, but I want to talk about it." Zhang Zhonghou lit another cigarette, and said in the tone he usually gave a report at a conference, "Throughout the ages, as a successful man, who do you think has no three wives and four fourths?" Concubine? Do you think I, Zhang Zhonghou, invented mistresses? It has been around since ancient times."

Du Mengyuan was so angry with Zhang Zhonghou's fallacies that her face turned blue, she picked up the remote control and gestured: "Zhang Zhonghou! I can't imagine that such a dignified person like you, an upright gentleman and moralist who always talk about benevolence and morality, is actually a scoundrel? What do you think? But how did you become a successful man? Without the support and assistance of me, Du Mengyuan, would you be where you are today?"

Zhang Zhonghou was upset when he heard this, and he waved his hand and said: "Joke! Can you, a woman, control the pace of my success? It's true that you have worked hard, but don't overestimate yourself. Just go up with a bamboo pole!"

Du Mengyuan stood up, the flesh on her face was trembling with anger, she glared at Zhang Zhonghou and said, "Zhang Zhonghou! You must speak with conscience! You know what you were like back then! If I hadn't gone back to my mother's house to borrow The money gave you the first pot of gold in business, can you have today?!"

This is the most depressing thing for Zhang Zhonghou. Every time the couple quarreled, Du Mengyuan would talk about it, as if he could achieve his career today because of her. She is grateful like Dade.He also admitted that the money she borrowed from her natal family played a key role in their business in the early days of starting a business, but dare to say that this is the only role?In other words, if her natal family didn't lend them the money, wouldn't Zhang Zhonghou be able to play around?Is there no today?What a joke!He, Zhang Zhonghou, was able to become a well-known entrepreneur in the province and create his own business kingdom. Apart from all kinds of help and factors, what is the most critical factor?It is his own unremitting efforts and extraordinary business talent!
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhonghou pulled his face, and said forcefully: "Mountains don't turn around, and water doesn't turn around. If your natal family doesn't lend me money, I will find a way. Doesn't the earth turn around except for your natal family?"

Du Mengyuan's expression was extremely painful, as if her heart was broken: "Okay, okay! I won't argue with you about this issue anymore. It's you, Zhang Zhonghou, who is very capable. It's okay! It's your fate, okay! But you It can’t be justified to have a mistress outside, can it?”

Zhang Zhonghou shook the ashes of the cigarette, and said slowly: "I've been looking for reasons in other people all day, have you reviewed yourself? I'm old-fashioned, have no interest at all, and have a weird temper. Is it my fault?"

Du Mengyuan felt a burning pain in her heart, and she immediately jumped into a rage and said, "So, it is my responsibility for you to find a mistress outside! What's wrong with my old face? Haven't I been young? Zhang Zhonghou, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?" ?”

Zhang Zhonghou yelled towards the kitchen: "Ping Hai, let's go!"

Zhao Pinghai ran to the living room, looked at Zhang Zhonghou, then at Du Mengyuan, looking at a loss, and asked in a low voice, "Where are you going?"

"Go out to drink! Annoyed at home!" Zhang Zhonghou slammed the door and went out.Zhao Pinghai quickly picked up Zhang Zhonghou's bag and followed him out.

Du Mengyuan yelled towards the door: "Zhang Zhonghou! You fucking never come back! Die outside!"

Linda was quite frightened by this scene, and comforted him from the side: "Madam, please don't be too sad."

Du Mengyuan said with tears: "Linda, you don't know! Zhang Zhonghou is not a man!"

Of course, Linda didn't like to comment on the male host, so she just said: "Sir, he also worked very hard to socialize, such a big business."

Du Mengyuan shook her head and said: "Linda, you don't know, Zhang Zhonghou is not socializing! He is looking for a mistress outside!"

Linda didn't know how to comfort her, so she said, "Madam, you might want to open it up a bit."

Du Mengyuan grabbed Linda's hand, shook it vigorously, and wailed, "Linda! How can I think about it! Zhang Zhonghou is not a human being! He raises women outside..." After speaking, she beat herself vigorously chest, excruciating pain.

Seeing the hostess like this, Linda felt uncomfortable, but she didn't know how to comfort her.I thought that although rich people have endless money to spend, they also have countless troubles.

Du Mengyuan took out the stack of photos from her bag, pointed to Xu Qiuying on the photo and showed it to Linda, and said desperately: "Look, it's this vixen! She hooked Zhang Zhonghou away! Zhang Zhonghou even bought it for her." Room!"

Linda was not good at commenting, but kept nodding her head in sympathy for the hostess.

A distraught Zhang Zhonghou called Zeng Deyi and said, "Where is my brother?"

"It's outside. Brother ordered."

"Annoyed, come and have a few drinks with me."

Zeng Deyi came quickly, with a bottle of Moutai in his left hand and a bottle of Hennessy in his right: "Brother, do you want to drink that?"

"Western bar."

Zeng Deyi called to the waiter: "Open foreign wine."

The two men with the same illness clinked their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp at the same time, without saying anything.

Zhang Zhonghou said dejectedly: "Old man, to tell you the truth, your brother and my backyard caught fire, and I'm upset."

Zeng Deyi smiled wryly and said: "Aren't I the same? I'm also a fallen person in the world. My wife got to the point of taking sleeping pills, and almost closed the stall. Because of this, I was almost disabled by her natal family. Now my ribs It's all in pain, and I've seen Chinese medicine several times, but it's useless. It's too cruel." Zeng Deyi said and patted his ribs, expressing that it hurts here.

Zhang Zhonghou said: "Du Mengyuan went to find Xu Qiuying, and wanted to persuade Xu Qiuying to quit. Just now she kept scolding me for being heartless! I am so upset!" He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Zeng Deyi took a sip of wine and said, "Isn't Li Yao the same? Alas, these women these days are small-minded. You can say that in ancient times, which man with a little bit of status didn't have three wives and four concubines, and a group of wives and concubines? They are all like Li If Yao and sister-in-law are like this, then they shouldn't fight in groups!"

Zhang Zhonghou seemed to have found out his conscience, and pretended to be serious: "Ancient times are ancient times, after all, they are feudal dross! I don't think it's right for us to do this outside. Brother, don't you think so?"

Zeng Deyi handed Zhang Zhonghou a soft-packed Zhonghua, lit him on fire and said, "What's wrong? Now, which rich and powerful man doesn't have a mistress? Do you think it's just us brothers? Brother, you are in real estate, you To be clear, how many houses in Haitian City were bought by mistresses? Countless!"

Zhang Zhonghou took a deep puff of cigarette, exhaled slowly and said, "Well, this is indeed true. Especially high-end real estate, corrupt officials and mistresses account for a large proportion. Some real estate are even called "Mistress Village" 'Woolen cloth."

Zeng Deyi said flatteringly: "That's right! So what guilt do we have? We are just following the trend. Especially for a man of your status, big brother, how can few women get by? In today's society, successful men are outside If you don’t have a woman, people will definitely not say you are decent, those who don’t know will say you are prudish, and those who know will say you are incompetent.”

Zhang Zhonghou asked: "Zhang Lina has been discovered by Li Yao, what are you going to do next?" In fact, he wanted to know what he should do next.

Zeng Deyi took a big sip of wine and said tactfully: "Take it easy for a while, wait and see what happens, and do whatever you want. My wife has also taken sleeping pills, and she died once. She seems to have figured it out. Then I am concerned about this matter, and now I am in a daze at home all day."

Zhang Zhonghou said in surprise, "Is she crazy?"

Zeng Deyi said with a smile: "No, no. She may have figured it out, looked down on it, and looked away. Sigh, think about which man is not like this now? We will guard you as a woman for the rest of our lives. Don't we lose money? Why are we earning so much money? Do we use money to cushion the coffin when we die?”

Zhang Zhonghou didn't speak, just nodded his head thoughtfully, smoked, and let the smoke fill the air.

Zeng Deyi raised his glass and said, "Come on! Brother, let's have another drink. Don't feel guilty, and don't feel ashamed. This is the case in this world. Look at those corrupt officials, what they say on stage So good, so good, so diligent and honest, so tall and tall, once caught, there will be a lot of mistresses and lovers! That's mistresses taking our taxpayers' wallets! We use our own money, we Peace of mind, no matter how many, there is no need to have psychological pressure. As for wives who argue, we are not afraid of boiling water, so let's drag it slowly. It's a fait accompli, what else can they do? Divorce? Suicide? Hehe , don’t be afraid, they can do whatever they like.”
