SIGHHH unfortunately, not all parent-children relationships can be like Xue and Weiwei's 😞 but Yi Lan-ah, you're fine the way you are honey! Just because your mom is a nasty, vile, stinky, low life hoe with the capital HO, doesn't mean that you are as well! You're obviously one of those apples which roll far tf away from the tree so that scum guy who said otherwise can just kiss your 🍑!!!
Yi Lan doesn't need to take the blame for her mother's deeds and Shufen will not blame her for sins of someone else..😁 The guy whom Yi Lan liked is the biggest jerk on earth who doesn't deserve such a caring and sweet person🙄. Im sure she would definitely find someone who will treat her like his queen👸
Long response - A marriage takes 2 people and the problem may not necessarily be that of the woman but the man. A person can always have the best dessert in the world and still be greedy for more no matter the flavor, cost or age. There could be problems that even the children don't know about that could ruin it, or he could be a habitual cheater, she a spender etc, no one is perfect. Not that I am not blaming YL's mother as an affair also takes 2 persons but it is the man's choice to cheat, dump his wife and children. He is not 10 or 18, he's one in his 40's so this is supposedly a mature person. Also, if the wife cannot take it anymore, she also must make a choice about her marriage whether to fight for it, ignore it, give up, give a tit for tat or leave it. The other thing, condoms and birth control exists - use them. There is also STDs although its pretty common that these do not exist in these novels, just like contraceptives. Everyone loves to play without the protective gear and never think about the consequences. Its like this, the woman may or may not be a "conniving diamond digger", she got pregnant- her offer was marriage or the shame of illegitmacy etc. He chose to accept said offer as he wants to dispose of the mature egg he no longer cares for, for the young fruit which he so happens to love. YL is a result of this mature-young fruit union - she should stop blaming herself for choices her parents made. As for the a-shole, I would love to know where he got said information, YL should realize soon that she got a lucky escape because this type of person is also a hypocrite who is likely to harm her in the future by doing wrong and saying that's its her fault that he did wrong. We really live in a double standard world where it is expected that the woman should take the blame for everything. Lets remind ourselves that the world do not compose of women only and men are just as guilty too. He needs to take responsibility for his actions. The Feng's marriage had hidden trouble, the husband chose to solve them by cheating, getting his mistress pregnant, kicking out wife and moving the mistress into the house. He now has the young fruit all to himself. As for stepmother dearest she so happen to be one that loves power, money and status that comes with this marriage, she may also so happen to love hubby and her family which we may or may not doubt. Done talk.
