Shameless

Su Nianen couldn't get rid of the anger in her heart.

In their two-year marriage, there were too many times where she wanted to express her frustrations, but could not find the opening to do so.

Should she blame him for not actually helping her when her mother-in-law made things difficult for her? Or should she hate him for the many times he was missing when she woke up late at night? That even his explanations came in the morning, through a phone call?

Should she blame him for only being nice to her verbally? Or should she hate him for being more and more perfunctory to her? So much so that he could openly say that it was just a fling when he cheated on her?

Should she blame him for his unclear attitude when her mother-in-law suggested surrogacy, when she found out that she was having difficulty getting pregnant? Or should she hate him for bringing a mistress into the family while still dreaming of getting connections from her father?

She was too disappointed in this man. There was simply too much disappointment.

In this marriage, this trivial daily life, day after day of exhaustion, and the increasingly vicious abuse and verbal insults her mother-in-law gave her. It gradually devoured her spirit.

If she hadn't found out that he was doing something as extreme as cheating, she would still be living like a zombie in the Lin family.

So, Lin Wenfeng asked her how he had provoked her?

"No, you didn't. You didn't provoke me. It's me. I provoked you. I shouldn't have believed your nonsense from the beginning. I accepted your pursuit five years ago and your proposal two years ago. I was the one who provoked you and your mother! I've only just returned to reality, and I can't afford to provoke you. I want to have my life back. Do you understand?"

Lin Wenfeng looked puzzled. "Nianen, our relationship has always been very good and stable. Why do you insist on getting a divorce?"

"We have a good relationship? So why did you cheat?"

"That wasn't real, it was just a fling. Would I divorce you because of that woman? I've never even thought of it!"

Su Nianen couldn't help but admire this man's thick skin.

"The most impressive justification ever recorded. It's one thing for me to be manipulated and abused by the two of you after two years of marriage, but you're even having an affair! You can even righteously say that it was just a fling when you're having an affair! Such a dignified reason. I can't help myself but applaud your shamelessness. We're all adults, Lin Wenfeng. Take responsibility for what you've done."

"Nianen," Lin Wenfeng argued, "It was just a fling…"

"I beg you to stop using that word. Don't you find it disgusting? Are you heartless? Do you think I can continue to live with a dirty man full of lies and unwilling to change? Or do you think that after I'd finally gotten rid of your manipulation and abuse, I'd still be willing to be controlled by you two and endure your mother's endless yelling at me? Or was I born just to be a servant in your house and serve your family?"

Su Nianen's eyes were filled with mockery. "Lin Wenfeng, you had me, and the moment you did, you forgot how hard you worked to woo me back then."

She deserved this. Why had she been so stupid all these years?

Why did she let the Lin family do worse and worse manipulative and abusive things to her, never realizing it?

It was laughable that she had defended such a man more than once. She had found all kinds of excuses for him in front of her parents and even put in good words for him.

She was completely blind!

She deserved it!

It served her right!

"Nianen, don't be so extreme, how did I manipulate and abuse you? Am I not good to you? My mother has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She was born with that personality, but has she really harmed you?"

"Pft!"

Su Nianen retaliated rudely, "Lin Wenfeng! Don't f*cking force me to go crazy here! It wouldn't be the first time I've attacked you."

"Nianen," Lin Wenfeng called out helplessly.

Su Nianen's eyes were burning with anger. Lin Wenfeng had no choice but to shut up.
