Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 724: Chapter 724: Xiao Ya Comforts

The frustration of the past few days at home needed an outlet, and Cheng Su needed to find someone to confide in. Ying Xiaoya was a very close friend and sister to her here, so when the question came, her eyes reddened.

Seeing this, Ying Xiaoya sat down next to her and asked, ”Did you have a fight with Qi Taiguo?”

Cheng Su shook her head.

Ying Xiaoya glanced at Yanmei, who then said she would go to the sales department to see if they needed help filling out some forms.

After Yanmei left, Ying Xiaoya poured another cup of hot water for Cheng Su and placed it in front of her, ”What happened? Tell me.”

Cheng Su took a sip of water and said, ”It’s nothing really, just feeling repressed and annoyed.”

Ying Xiaoya waited for her to continue.

”Do you know what my mother-in-law did regarding my pregnancy? What ’amazing’ thing she pulled off?” Cheng Su let out a scoff and without waiting for Ying Xiaoya to respond, she spilled everything about her mother-in-law’s actions like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.

Ying Xiaoya’s eyes widened in shock, No way, how can there be such people!

”I mean, what bad luck have I run into to end up with such a peculiar mother-in-law?” Cheng Su took a breath.

”This, this is too, too bizarre!” Ying Xiaoya gulped, ”How can a mother-in-law act like this... Are all mothers-in-law this terrifying? Oh my, it makes me not even want to get married.”

Cheng Su, already feeling gloomy, couldn’t help but let out a laugh at this, which seemed to lessen some of the heaviness in her heart.

”There are good mothers-in-law out there, don’t worry,” Cheng Su chided her with a glance.

Ying Xiaoya then sighed, ”Even the best mother-in-law is not like a mom. No matter how close, there’s always a barrier, a layer of skin between.”

That was true, and Cheng Su admitted, ”I’m not as clear-sighted as you are.”

Ying Xiaoya asked, ”Did you confront her about this? Have you fallen out with your mother-in-law?”

Cheng Su snorted, ”How could I not? At that moment, I really felt like tearing her face off.”

”And what happened after that? Does Big Brother Qi know?”

”Of course, he knows. He was there when it happened.” Cheng Su lowered her eyelids, ”He sent his mother home and told her not to come anymore.”

Ying Xiaoya uttered an ”Eh” and asked, ”So what’s still bothering you?”

”Because of this, I brought up divorce with him, and we’ve been at odds these past few days. We’ve been married so long, and aside from the beginning, this is the first time we’ve been this polite with each other, treating each other with such courtesy. It’s really uncomfortable!”

Ying Xiaoya was stunned, ”You brought up divorce? Just because of his mother?”

”Yes, I’ve had that thought, simply because I can’t stand my mother-in-law’s behavior,” Cheng Su said.

”With your personality, well, how do I put this! I think you both dearly love each other, and it would be a real shame to divorce over a mother-in-law. A mother-in-law can be annoying, sure, but she’s not the one you have to live with your whole life. If you really can’t get along, just keep your distance. Is that reason really worth a divorce?” Ying Xiaoya consoled.

”That’s what’s bothering me. I love him, and I don’t want a divorce. But when I think about what his mom did, I just feel so sad, so fed up,” Cheng Su sighed deeply, ”Sometimes I wonder, why do people insist on getting married? Being alone isn’t so bad, right? Once you’re married, there are two families, double the trouble.”

”It’s pointless to talk about that now. If you ask for my opinion, I’m definitely against you getting a divorce, especially for this reason with your mother-in-law. Like I said, if you can’t get along, just keep your distance,” Ying Xiaoya said.

Cheng Su pursed her lips and replied, ”I’ll think it through carefully.”

She needed to seriously consider which path they should take from here.
