She must take advantage of this opportunity!
“Even if you buy the manor from your father and workers from your cousin, you still need to spend a lot of money. How can I get so much by just contributing skills?”
Knowing that Zhou Shi such a powerful background, how could she dare to take advantage of her?
“So what? I don’t have any business experience. 1 need you to teach me!” Zhou Shi said.
“After this incident, I finally understand a lot of things.”
“I was too free before, and then I took him too seriously. I cared too much about him and regarded him as my entire life. Therefore, when I found out that he might betray me, 1 lost my composure.”
“Actually, Yu Niang was not that smart, but I was easily manipulated by her. In the end, I fell out with your brother.”
“He said that I’ve changed. I’m not the same as before, but more like a crazy woman.”
“Hmph.” Zhou Shi sneered.
“I have indeed changed, from the fifth miss of the Zhou family to his wife.”
Zhou Shi pulled Lin Xiaoyue’s hand.
“So, I want to work with you!”
Zhou Shi looked straight at Lin Xiaoyue.
“Yue’er, I’ve liked you since the first time I saw you. Now I understand why. I like your temperament. That confidence! It wasn’t the boorish nature of a peasant woman or the girlish att.i.tude of a young miss!”
“You are confident, calm, and have your own vision. That’s very attractive.”
Lin Xiaoyue was surprised.
“I…you flatter me…” This praise made her feel a little overwhelmed.
“Not at all,” Zhou Shi said and gripped Lin Xiaoyue’s hand even tighter.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue’s face was a little red, Zhou Shi said, “let me put it this way. If you were me, how would you deal with this?”
Lin Xiaoyue paused.
If she were her…
Lin Xiaoyue thought for a moment before looking at her.
“I’ll also ask for an explanation, but I won’t make a scene.”
“If Li Xiao can’t bear to part with the woman, I will separate from him and draw a clear line between us.” Thinking of this situation, Lin Xiaoyue felt very uncomfortable. However, she was very sure.
Zhou Shi smiled and suddenly thought of something.
So she asked Lin Xiaoyue,” what if you already have a child?”
Lin Xiaoyue thought about it, her eyes still firm.
“I’ll take the child with me, and we will still separate.”
Zhou Shi was stunned.
“Then what if that woman is from a good family? And she just wants to be a concubine…”
“My husband can only have me,” this time, Lin Xiaoyue replied before Zhou Shi finished.
Zhou Shi’s eyes lit up.
“You’re jealous,” Lin Xiaoyue continued.
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Zhou Shi and saw that there was no seriousness in her eyes, but there was a smile.
“So be it. In my opinion, when it comes to love, one is lonely, two are happy, and three are messy.”
Zhou Shi looked surprised.
“But it’s normal for a man to take in a concubine. Moreover, sometimes, it’s not because of love. It might just be to…”
Lin Xiaoyue shook her head and interrupted her before she could say the words “carry on the family line”.
“Men and women are both humans. Since a woman only has one husband, why can’t a man only have one wife?”
Lin Xiaoyue smiled at Zhou Shi.
“Maybe my thoughts are different from many people, but that’s what I think. If Li Xiao no longer loves me or wants to have a new wife, I will divorce him.”
“I agree with you on one point. Men are not everything in my life. At least, Li Xiao is not everything in my life.”
Zhou Shi was stunned, then she heard Lin Xiaoyue continue.
“I love Li Xiao, but I love myself more.”
Her words were like a thunderclap that shook Zhou Shi’s entire being.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled and continued, “in my opinion, only by loving myself can I love others better and be worthy of others’ love.”
“Instead of worrying and preventing the people around you from leaving, it’s better to put away these thoughts and become better yourself. In this way, as long as the people around you are not blind or stupid, they would not leave..”
