Marriage is long and desires are strong

The image of Qin Xiaoye's voice lingered in Jiang Wei's mind, low and melodious, traveling through the long river of time:

"Don't get used to the pain."

Jiang Wei took a deep breath and said to the little white cat, "Come on, cut the eggs."

The little white cat meowed pitifully.

Jiang Wei picked up the gleaming scalpel.

Meanwhile, at the Jiang family villa, Jiang Wei hung up the phone, and Jiang Che's phone emitted a "beep beep" sound indicating that the call had ended.

The room was empty.

Jiang Che was stunned for a long time, then whispered, rubbing his sore throat, "Weiwei, it seems she really is going to sever ties with us."

Xu Mo was also a little panicked: "No, we've raised her for over twenty years. We're not going to sever ties over this little bit of grievance. Where can she go? The Jiang family is her home."

Jiang Che paused, his voice slow and heavy with sorrow: "Actually, Weiwei is the most stubborn person; once she's made up her mind, she won't turn back. We told her not to study veterinary medicine, but she still secretly enrolled."

He let out a long sigh: "We're going to lose this daughter."

Xu Mo's breathing was a little rapid: "No, she's nothing after leaving the Jiang family. How could she not understand? She's such a grown-up, how could she not weigh the pros and cons?"

"We raised her for over twenty years, and she's such an ingrate!"

Jiang Wan bit her lip, secretly pleased, and said resentfully, "Let her go, who wants to keep her! She wasn't even a member of the Jiang family to begin with, was she?"

Xu Mo turned her head, glared at Jiang Wan, and suddenly said in a fierce tone, "Shut up!"

"She only avoided bankruptcy by marrying Qin Xiaoye into the Jiang family. What will happen to the Jiang family now? Is there any future for the partnership? Do you think eight million a month is a small amount?"

"Since you came back, I've been trying to train you every day, and what have you done? You've been causing trouble for Weiwei every day. Now look what's happened. She's not coming back. Do you think you can inherit the Jiang family's wealth? The Jiang family has nothing left!"

Jiang Wan was stunned. This was the first time Xu Mo had spoken to her so harshly and in such a bad tone since she was brought back. She felt a chill in her heart and a sense of panic washed over her.

Her legs trembled slightly; she was terrified that she would be abandoned again and sent to that dark and hopeless village to be mocked and ridiculed.

Tears welled up in Jiang Wan's eyes quickly, and she whispered, "Mom, I just want a home, parents who belong only to me..."

"She had everything when she was a child. She could have you all to herself, but what about me... I was bullied by my adoptive father to the point of almost committing suicide, and my adoptive mother always beat me."

Jiang Che sighed, looking as if he had aged considerably: "Stop arguing."

"Weiwei's household registration is still with the Jiang family. Let's not let her really transfer it. She's still a member of the Jiang family."

"Wanwan, stop going against Weiwei all the time."

"You were switched at birth, so you can't blame Weiwei. She gave you all her things, what more do you want?"

"Go apologize to Weiwei when you have time."

Jiang Wan's voice was shrill: "What, you want me to apologize to her? Why should I? She should be apologizing to me!"

Jiang Che gave her a cold look, his tone low and slow: "Jiang Wan, you can only see your own suffering. You cling to your pain to seek others' sympathy. But is sympathy a good word?"

"Compassion is when you put yourself in the position of the weak, lick your wounds again and again, and tear them open for others to see."

"Let others point fingers at your wounds."

Are you really happy?

Jiang Wan's breathing became rapid, tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked out, "But I'm in so much pain... The thought that I should have lived the life of a little princess makes me miserable."

Jiang Che's voice was low and deep: "Think about it carefully."

"Bearing pain, you will be trapped in that old village forever, never finding peace. Your body may be gone, but your soul will remain there forever."

"I am your father, and I also hope that my daughter will have a smooth and trouble-free life."

He sighed, "But things just turned out differently, and that's how it is."

"Fate always treats people like a joke."

"Wanwan, this isn't Weiwei's fault."

"Has your inner pain lessened during this time you've been targeting her?"

Jiang Wan cried, "But it's not my fault. If I didn't do this, I would be in even more pain, I would be in so much pain that I want to die..."

"I'm jealous of her. I'm jealous that she had you all growing up, and that she had pretty dresses, beautiful lingerie, and exquisite water bottles..."

She choked up as she spoke: "When I first started puberty in the village, I didn't have any underwear. People would point and whisper about me, so I would just grab a piece of cloth and wrap it around myself."

"But they still laugh at me, saying that no one cares about me."

"When I got my first period, my pants were stained with blood. My adoptive mother would only tell me to wash my pants myself and not to put on pads. She would say, 'Don't you know how much a pair of pants costs? These are your best pairs of pants.' In the dead of winter, I washed my blood-stained pants in the yard with cold water, while people walked by on the street and stared at me."

Xu Mo patted Jiang Wan's head and hugged her, saying, "Mom was wrong. Mom should have been by your side to protect you since you were little."

Jiang Wan cried even harder: "They say that God can't protect everyone, so He created mothers. Mothers will protect their children. But my adoptive mother never cared about me."

Xu Mo patted Jiang Wan's back gently, saying, "Mom shouldn't have been so harsh on you. You've already suffered so much. Take it slow. It's okay to learn slowly, as long as you're learning."

"From now on, everything in the Jiang family will be yours. Your parents will also belong to you, so don't be afraid."

Jiang Che looked at Jiang Wan and sighed, "Weiwei has done her best. Don't go against her. Wanwan, the Jiang family still needs the Qin family."

Jiang Wan suddenly looked up: "It's just an arranged marriage. Qin Xiaoye had to marry her because of their high compatibility score, and the agreement is for two years. I can take her place..."

Xu Mo seemed to be deep in thought after hearing this.

Jiang Che frowned: "Don't be silly, Wanwan. Qin Xiaoye specifically requested a marriage alliance with Weiwei. Do you really think it was entirely based on compatibility scores?"

Jiang Wan was unwilling to accept this: "Then why?"

Jiang Che said slowly, "Qin Xiaoye... has taken a liking to Weiwei."

Xu Mo thought for a moment, then sighed, feeling sorry for Jiang Wan: "Wanwan, Qin Xiaoye isn't right for you. Have you heard about his reputation?"

Jiang Wan's mind flashed to Qin Xiaoye in a black suit, exuding a wild and domineering aura, radiating a dangerous and chilling presence, handsome and indifferent.

She whispered, "Qin Xiaoye is very handsome, and he's also very protective of his woman."

She loves it.

That day, Qin Xiaoye protected Jiang Wei, pulling her forcefully into his arms, afraid that she might get hurt in the slightest.

It made Jiang Wan's heart flutter.

This is the kind of husband she wants: someone who can appear strong and protect his wife when she needs him.

It's like they came riding on colorful clouds.

Jiang Wan reached out and touched her wrist, which Qin Xiaoye had twisted forcefully with his fingers. If only Qin Xiaoye had protected her instead…

She doesn't want Li Si anymore; she wants Qin Xiaoye.

Wild, handsome, standing at the pinnacle of power.

Li Si is just a rich second-generation, but Qin Xiaoye is the head of a conglomerate.

When Qin Xiaoye's wife can also stand with him at the pinnacle of power, looking down on others and possessing that wealth, power, and status.

What Jiang Wei has, she can have too.

She was just late. Her genes are much better than Jiang Wei's. She is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family!

Xu Mo sighed and shook her head: "Wanwan, Qin Xiaoye is ruthless. Don't provoke him. He will stop at nothing and pay any price to get what he wants."

Jiang Che nodded: "No one wants to be his opponent."

"He is the most powerful and the most insane among the S-class Sentinels."
