Chapter 401, Episode 434: The Current Status of Leng Zhan and His Wife (Part 1)

"Since you've already decided to marry her, I suppose you don't mind her past at least for now, you're thinking about growing old with her, and you love and protect her at least for now."

Leng Xingmao sat upright and listened attentively. He didn't feel resentful because of the words "at least for now." He understood that his aunt was doing this for his and his wife's good, which was why she specifically reminded him of these things.

"Chunhua's previous marriage was unfortunate. I'm not mentioning this to upset you or to belittle Chunhua, but to remind you that Chunhua was hurt in that marriage, and the hurt was quite significant."

"It takes a lot of courage for a person, especially a relatively emotional woman, to go through a terrible marriage before entering into another one."

“Chunhua has a job and can earn money to support herself. Under such circumstances, she is still willing to marry you. Putting aside those so-called external reasons, at least your past performance has moved Chunhua and made her willing to take another gamble.”

"But that's not a license for you to be willful. Marrying a wife means two independent individuals forming a group, supporting each other to overcome difficulties outside the home, not that once you marry her, she belongs to you and becomes a tool for relieving your emotions."

“You don’t mind Chunhua’s past now, and your third aunt knows you can do that, but I still hope you will never mind it, and never say anything that would hurt her when you’re emotional.”

"Think things through before you speak. Don't wait until after you've spoken to think about it. Since you've given her the hope to remarry, don't destroy it yourself."

“Hate words can be as painful as a cold winter’s day, especially your words. They are more damaging to Chunhua than anyone else’s. Your third aunt hopes you will be happy, but happiness needs to be cultivated. You need to remind yourself of that all the time.”

Actually, saying these words at this time was a bit out of place, but Zhang Hongying knew Leng Xingmao's personality too well. The couple's situation was special, and for their future, she had to remind them.

Leng Xingmao's own experiences were not good. He was a person who lacked love. Because of this lack of love, he was rather stubborn and possessive.

Yang Chunhua had been married before; she was someone else's wife, which would leave a lingering resentment in Leng Xingmao's heart.

For the time being, he was overjoyed because he had finally married the woman he loved, and he would indulge Yang Chunhua even if she did something that made him uncomfortable.

However, all the discomfort will remain in his heart, and over time, no one can guarantee that it won't erupt one day.

Although Zhang Hongying and Yang Chunhua had been in frequent contact these past few days, Zhang Hongying was too embarrassed to ask too many questions about such private matters. She could only guess based on her past work experience that Hua Errong often abused Yang Chunhua. Generally, men who abuse their wives will leave their wives with bad experiences in that area, and some may even make their wives fear that kind of thing.

Zhang Hongying was afraid that Yang Chunhua would have a similar experience, so just in case, she dragged Leng Xingmao over tonight to give him those instructions. She was worried that if Yang Chunhua did anything against her will during their wedding night, it would become a thorn in Leng Xingmao's side and affect the couple's future.

Zhang Hongying is so worried. Everyone says that an unhappy childhood takes a lifetime to heal. Both of them had unhappy childhoods. I wonder if it's a case of two negatives making a positive or two negatives plus N?

Leng Xingmao solemnly assured, "Third Aunt, don't worry. I've never minded Chunhua's past. I feel sorry for her, and I will only feel sorry for her. No one can predict the future. I don't want to make any hypocritical promises. I've remembered everything you said, Third Aunt. In the future, I will definitely think things through before I say anything."

Hearing this, Zhang Hongying felt relieved and immediately got up happily to drag over a huge briefcase.

"Take this back with you later. It's a wedding gift from your family. I've labeled it with their names. Now that you have your own little family, you'll have to take care of the wedding gifts yourself."

She leaned closer to him mysteriously and whispered, "Your grandfather gave you a house. He bought it a few years ago. He bought several at once, and they were all about the same price. He said it was for the younger generation to use when they got married."

"The apartment your grandfather gave you is the closest to University A. Kong Liping had her eye on it for a long time. She wanted it as a dowry for her youngest daughter, but it turns out your grandfather never intended to have those two daughters." "Kong Liping didn't dare to make a scene in front of your grandfather, but if she finds out that your grandfather gave you this apartment, she might come to you and cause trouble."

"Third Aunt isn't saying she should. What your grandfather gave you is yours. You should be able to tell from the fact that your grandfather didn't let the couple come to your wedding this time that he no longer considers them your parents."

“If she really dares to cause trouble in front of you, you must be firm. If that doesn’t work, come to me or go directly to your grandfather. Don’t forget to tell your wife about it as well.”

Leng Xingmao's pupils contracted. "What's wrong with her now...?"

In Leng Xingmao's memory, Kong Liping was an extremely proud person.

When he was a child, he was abused, but it was all done when no one else was around, and the injuries were always in places that outsiders couldn't see. In public, she always treated him like a loving mother.

He was well-fed, clothed and fed when he was a child, and anyone who saw him would say that Kong Liping was a better stepmother than his biological mother.

Besides physical harm, Kong Liping's greatest skill in dealing with him was psychological suppression.

In public, Kong Liping was always a well-mannered noblewoman, a loving mother, a virtuous wife, and a refined official's wife.

The idea of ​​someone like Kong Liping, who always maintains a high and mighty attitude, causing a scene over a house with her stepson is something that shouldn't be something she would do.

“I didn’t tell you before because I was afraid you would mind, but those two have had a tough time these past few years.”

Zhang Hongying sat on the bed, handed Leng Xingmao a handful of sunflower seeds, and then grabbed a handful for herself to crack open.

Leng Xingmao obediently placed the two jewelry boxes in his right hand aside and started eating sunflower seeds.

“A few years ago, Kong Liping’s younger brother made a mistake. Not only did your father introduce him to the job, but he was also the guarantor. Regardless of whether your father knew about the mistake or whether he benefited from it, he cannot shirk this responsibility.”

“When your grandfather found out, he instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to handle the matter officially, which meant your father couldn’t become a minister.”

"Originally, the investigation found no direct evidence that your father was involved in Kong Liping's brother's affair, and it was uncertain whether he knew about it or not. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs only demoted him because of your grandfather's influence."

"But your dad wasn't willing to give up, so he argued with your grandfather and applied to be stationed in E."

Leng Xingmao looked puzzled. Why was going to E stationed there to argue with his grandfather?
Seeing his confusion, Zhang Hongying explained the situation to him briefly, then said with indignation, "He didn't really want to go to E. He just saw the situation clearly and wanted to use Guaibao to threaten your grandfather. He still wants to continue being his minister."

Even if it's not a ministerial position, it should be something similar.

She didn't know that her older brother felt that since the Leng family had adopted Guabao and Guabao had received many benefits and achieved success, it was only right that Guabao should repay the Leng family. As a member of the Leng family, the eldest son of the old man, and Guabao's uncle, he felt that Guabao should come out to help him when he was in trouble.
