After the Shang family left Da Qing Feng’s home, Da Ming Sheng felt restless and scared. If she didn’t go back home, Shang Duan Hua would divorce her.
Da Ming Sheng got out of bed, she walked to the front door, and Ning Kan stopped her.
‘Ming Sheng, where are you going?’ Ning Kan asked.
‘Mum, I need to go back to the Shang family home,’ Da Ming Sheng said.
‘No,’ Ning Kan said.
‘Mum, if I don’t go back now then I can’t ever go back there,’ Da Ming Sheng said.
‘Ming Sheng, do you think they’ll welcome you home with open arms?’ Ning Kan asked.
‘Mum, I worked hard to get Duan Hua to marry me,’ Da Ming Sheng said. ‘If Duan Hua divorces me now, I’ll get nothing.’
‘Ming Sheng, wake up,’ Ning Kan said. ‘If you go back, you’ll only receive their anger. Shang Duan Hua isn’t going to protect you. Shang Duan Hua regrets marrying you. Didn’t you see Shang Duan Hua was jealous of Da Tian Ting’s boyfriend?’
‘Mum…’ Da Ming Sheng said.
Ning Kan grabbed Da Ming Sheng’s arm and pulled her to sit on the sofa.
‘Ming Sheng, Shang Duan Hua wants to get back together with Da Tian Ting since Da Tian Ting turned into a beautiful woman,’ Ning Kan said.
‘Mum, what should I do now?’ Da Ming Sheng said. ‘I don’t want Duan Hua to divorce me.’
‘Ming Sheng, you need to get pregnant,’ Ning Kan said. ‘Shang Duan Hua’s parents won’t let him divorce you if you give birth to their grandchild.’
‘Mum, since the wedding, Duan Hua rarely touches me,’ Da Ming Sheng said. ‘How am I supposed to get pregnant?’
‘Then you need to take their money and valuable possessions before the divorce,’ Ning Kan said.
‘Mum, I don’t want to divorce Duan Hua,’ Da Ming Sheng said.
‘Ming Sheng, Shang Duan Hua and his family hates you after they found out you framed Da Tian Ting,’ Ning Kan said. ‘Even if you stay married to Shang Duan Hua, they’ll make your life h.e.l.l. Listen to me, if you divorce Shang Duan Hua now, you can find a better man. Right now you have your youthful looks. After your looks fade, no man will want you.’
‘Mum, are you saying I made a mistake marrying into Duan Hua’s family?’ Da Ming Sheng asked.
‘The Shang family is an average rich family compared to the Feng family and the Hong family,’ Ning Kan said.
‘Feng and Hong?’ Da Ming Sheng asked. ‘Mum, do you have a plan?’
‘It’s too late for you to marry into the Feng family,’ Ning Kan said. ‘Everyone knows the Hong Shi’s company’s heiress is marrying the Feng’s company’s heir. There’s only the Hong Shi’s company’s heir available. His name is Hong Shi Chi. I heard Hong Shi Chi never had a girlfriend. I regret letting you marry Shang Duan Hua.’
‘Mum, how can I divorce Duan Hua to marry another man?’ Da Ming Sheng asked.
‘Ming Sheng, I regret marrying your father,’ Ning Kan said. ‘My life is a struggle because I married a poor man. I wished I was like Da Tian Ting’s mother, Lam Xin Yu. Lam Xin Yu was smart, she left Da Zheng Li to be with a rich man. If I left your father when I was young, I’ll be married to a rich man right now.’
‘Lam Xin Yu?’ Da Ming Sheng asked.
‘Yes,’ Shang Duan Hua said. ‘I heard Lam Xin Yu married a rich man who owns a bank. Lam Xin Yu is living the high life now unlike me. Ming Sheng, don’t make the same mistake I made by staying married to a poor man.’
‘Mum, I’m scared to divorce Duan Hua,’ Ming Sheng said. ‘What happens if I can’t find a better man?’
‘Ming Sheng, you’re young and beautiful right now,’ Ning Kan said. ‘Rich men will desire you. You’ll regret wasting your youth if you stay married to Shang Duan Hua. You can’t rely on Shang Duan Hua to provide you a happy luxurious life. You need to believe in yourself that you can find a better man than Shang Duan Hua.’
‘Mum, I understand,’ Da Ming Sheng said. ‘I won’t go back there today.’
Da Ming Sheng stood, and walked back to her bedroom.
Ning Kan was happy she persuaded Da Ming Sheng to consider divorcing Shang Duan Hua. Ning Kan needed Da Ming Sheng to secure a rich man so she would have a better future.
Da Qing Feng cried in his bedroom, he overheard Ning Kan and Da Ming Sheng’s conversation. Although he knew Ning Kan didn’t love him, he was sad Ning Kan gave heartless advice to Da Ming Sheng. No wonder Da Ming Sheng turned out to be a bad daughter and wife under Ning Kan’s influence.
Da Qing Feng didn’t think it was worth going outside to fight with Ning Kan and Da Ming Sheng.
Da Qing Feng opened the big box Da Tian Ting gave him. Inside were winter coats, sweaters and vests. Da Tian Ting was right, he was going to keep warm during winter.
Da Qing Feng regretted he wasn’t successful in life, and couldn’t give Ning Kan a luxurious life. But he was grateful for being blessed with a loving big brother and niece.
Da Qing Feng hugged one of his new warm winter coats. He wouldn’t give up a loving niece like Da Tian Ting in exchange for success and money.
