Chapter 1577: Chapter 1041: Still Worrisome (Part 2)
What’s past is past, the urgent matter now is to walk the road ahead properly. You and Fang Tao have dragged this on for so long, have you made a decision now?"
"I..." Zhou Nanping furrowed her brows in conflict, "I haven’t decided yet."
"About someone like that, what’s there to think about?" Zhou Xiangping rolled her eyes, "He treated you like this, and you still think about living with him. Do you think, even if he’s willing to continue with you, can he guarantee not to run away when things happen?
Or to put it bluntly, you know he used you before, are you willing to let him continue using you in the future, pretending to be good to you?"
"Not exactly..." Zhou Nanping sighed, a look of confusion on her face, "Before, he was quite good to me, and he was my first love, the only person I’ve loved. Even knowing he used me, it’s still hard to let go.
I don’t know, if I leave him, will there be someone willing to marry me. What if the next one also marries me just because I’m the daughter of the Zhou family?
And, I’m not willing to let him marry another woman. Why should he be able to find someone younger and prettier to help him after separating from me?
Just thinking about it makes my heart ache like needles; even if I spend my whole life like this, I won’t let him have his way!"
"Didn’t he and that woman separate?" Zhou Xiangping looked at her speechlessly, "Why are you still obsessing over it? Dragging it on like this will only be bad for you, don’t you understand?"
"I understand, but I can’t let go, and they’re secretly in contact again, I caught them!"
Zhou Xiangping: "..."
"You’re only in your twenties..." Chuxia looked at her with helplessness, "If it were someone worth doing this for, we wouldn’t advise you against it.
If you weren’t Zhou Mikang’s cousin, based on what you did before, I probably wouldn’t forgive you, and my forgiveness isn’t meant for you to demean yourself.
Compared to the other uncles and aunts, the second uncle and aunt have had a tough time, neither of you have been a comfort to them. Now, you’ve finally figured some things out, so shouldn’t you be a bit more filial to them, to ease their worries?
If you keep struggling like this, your brother being the way he is, it will worry the uncle and aunt to the point their hair turns white from stress, isn’t that what’s happening?
As for that girl with Fang Tao, since she’s willing to continue with him behind her family’s back, when she suffers for it one day, she can’t blame anyone, and you definitely don’t need to pay for her mistakes!"
Zhou Nanping looked up sharply at Chuxia: "Are you saying she can’t marry Fang Tao?"
"I can’t guarantee things like that, but it’s a fact that the girl’s parents don’t agree with her marrying Fang Tao. If she’s brave enough to marry him secretly, then maybe she truly loves him.
But with a person like Fang Tao, if the Yue family doesn’t bring him any help after the marriage, and the wife even becomes a burden, what do you think he’ll do?
You’re just unwilling to see someone you once loved marry someone else, it’s not that you truly still love him or can’t let go, I can guarantee that if you really got back together, you’d regret it!
"I..." Zhou Nanping’s face was even more conflicted, she understood these reasons clearly because Fang Tao knew that even if he stayed with her, the Zhou family wouldn’t give the Fang family any assistance, so even if he reluctantly agreed to be with her, he would never treat her sincerely, let alone live wholeheartedly with her.
And if she asked herself honestly, does she still feel the same way she did about Fang Tao initially? The answer is no, it’s more because she’s unwilling to be alone...
But, she’s only twenty-five, is it worth giving up her life like this...
The more she thought about it, the more conflicted she became, and the more torn she felt, the others stopped advising her, and the room fell into a long silence...
"I..." finally, Zhou Nanping opened her mouth but paused again for a long moment before continuing, "I’m divorcing Fang Tao!"
"That’s right!" Zhou Xiangping exclaimed with excitement, clapping once, "Such a man should be dropped sooner, don’t worry, sis will help you find a better man, so you definitely won’t regret today’s decision!"
"I’ll also ask your brother-in-law to keep an eye out..." Zhou Jiping looked seriously at Zhou Nanping, "As for whether you’ll be happy in the future or regret today’s decision, it ultimately depends on yourself, don’t rely on your fourth sister’s assurance, she speaks without thinking when excited, not considering the essence of things."
