Chapter 525 - 525 526 Marry None but Her (2)_1
?Chapter 525: Chapter 526: Marry None but Her (2)_1 Chapter 525: Chapter 526: Marry None but Her (2)_1 Jing Haohao’s complexion grew even paler. Her hands clenched into fists, gripping her skirt so tightly that its edges crinkled. Around the knuckles, a harsh white peeked through under the strain.
Jing Haohao stared at Liang Yuan before her, emotions churning in her eyes.
Memories, like a lightly sketched painting, flashed through her mind.
Once, when she discovered that Shen Liangnian had been adulterous for two years, her colorful world had been upturned into monochrome.
Back then, the only thing she could cling to was her freedom, but it was again suffocated by Liang Chen.
Now, she thought she was pregnant and could start a family, start a new life. But it turned out that her plans were nothing more than a farcical joke.
She felt like one of those pitiable and scheming side characters in TV dramas, having money thrown at her just to let the wealthy family’s son go.
After playing such roles for so many years, she had inevitably become a similar laughingstock in reality.
No one’s heart could be devoid of feelings. Even a Liang Chen, who excelled in everything, who was handsome and regarded by everyone as a heavenly being, would always be patient with her. If he had let her be indifferent all along, he would surely be lying.
Especially during the time when they were expecting a baby, when she and Chen left their past grudges behind to live as a surrogate mother and a father-to-be. She had tasted happiness then.
Especially on sunny afternoons, when he would accompany her to bask in the sun, holding a copy of “Pregnancy Care Manual” and was seriously explaining it to her.
That kind of happiness was so peaceful.
Moreover, just this morning, after they got their marriage certificate, he even took her to meet her parents, saying that even if her parents were no more, he still needed to pay respect as a son-in-law.
The more she thought about it, the more her heart became a tangled mess.
After a while, she finally composed herself, and asked Liang Yuan in front of her, ”Mr. Liang, are you sure you can help me?”
Liang Yuan nodded and replied, “Don’t worry. As long as you leave Chen, I will keep my words and meet all your conditions.”
Right now, all she had left was her pitiful dignity. She couldn’t let her pride be trampled on anymore.
Even if in their eyes, she was a despicable woman who schemed for money.
But she still had to stand her ground.
Jing Haohao swallowed, and returned Liang Yuan’s gaze without submission or arrogance. In a clear and substantial voice, she asked, “Mr. Liang, may I ask a question before I say anything else?”
Liang Yuan nodded, “Miss Jing, please ask.”
“Who determined that every time when a girl meets a rich man, that girl has to be after his wealth?”
Liang Yuan was slightly taken aback.
Jing Haohao was as calm as stagnant water, her dark, clear eyes were void of sadness or tears, “Everyone judges by appearances. When they see a woman and a man from different social classes together, they assume that she’s either using her body for money or manipulating him with her charms. But I wonder, has anyone ever looked deeper? Is that rich man truly an impeccable being? Has anyone ever asked whether that woman really treasures being with that wealthy man?”
