“You’ve been working hard for so many years after we got married, earning money to support your family? You make it sound like I don’t have any money on hand and need you to support me.”
“Ding Juesi, have you forgotten who’s behind where you are today? If it weren’t for my father and brother using their connections to help you get a bunch of high-end resources on my account, do you think that with your talent, you would have been able to get to where you are today and get so many ‘difficult’ jobs? You would have long been trampled under the feet of the artists of the same period and have disappeared from the entertainment industry!”
Although Mrs. Ding married Ding Juesi and became a housewife to take care of her husband and raise her children, she was, after all, a rich young lady who had been pampered and spoiled by her family since she was young. Not to mention the shares of the company her parents had transferred to her when she got married, just the annual dividend alone was enough to cover the contract fees that Ding Juesi had earned after working hard for more than half a year.
Even if she occasionally bought a few stocks in her free time, the money she earned would still be more than Ding Juesi’s single advertisement. She did not need to spend any of Ding Juesi’s money at all.
On the contrary, after Ding Juesi married her, he used his wife’s family’s connections to pull in a lot of investments and high-end endorsements for himself. If one were to really count, it would basically be Ding Juesi benefitting from the marriage.
Now, this beneficiary backstabbed his benefactor and even complained that it was not easy for him.
“As for handing over the money you earned to me for safekeeping, was it me who begged you for it? You were the one who sweet-talked me into taking advantage of my family and then married a treasure like me. You felt bad and begged me to help you manage it. Now, you actually have the face to brag about how much you’ve done for this family, as if I’m bullying you? Do you really think that just because you have the image of a good family man, you’re really one? You’ve even made yourself so emotional over it. You really should think if you are even worthy.”
“You!” This was the first time Ding Juesi had heard such sharp words from his usually demure and dignified wife. His face turned livid. “Is there a need to say such harsh words?”
“If you think my words are harsh, then don’t do such shameful acts and say so much disgusting garbage. What? Wasn’t what I said just now the truth?”
Ding Juesi choked because what his wife said was indeed the truth, and the truth was so true that it hurt him.
Mrs. Ding saw the resentment in Ding Juesi’s eyes and suddenly felt like laughing.
When they were in love, she had always thought that this person was good in every aspect. He was refined and polished, had a gracious manner of speaking, was kind to others, and knew how to dote on her.
Now that she knew that he was not what he seemed to be, she had lost that layer of filter. Only then did she realize that the so-called refined man was just his vanity, and his refinement was just cowardice.
What she thought was doting meant that he could dote on her, but he could also dote on others. He was very philanthropic.
“Since you think it’s hard for you to do work so hard, that’s fine. From today onwards, I’ll inform my subordinates that they don’t have to worry about helping you get resources. You and I are going to get a divorce. From now on, we won’t see each other ever again. I have nothing to do with you anymore, and neither does my family. My father and my brother won’t give you any more help. You should take care of yourself.”
Mrs. Ding’s words were like a knife that stabbed Ding Juesi’s heart.
Ding Juesi realized that this matter had already blown out of proportion. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he realized that his wife had already started packing her bags.
Ding Juesi was shocked. “What are you doing?”
