Preparing dowries for her sisters, building houses, raising children...
Xinping met Liu Jinming during her internship at university, and they quickly fell in love. At the beginning of their relationship, Liu Jinming was reluctant to talk about his family, but Xinping kept pressing him until he revealed a little.
Xinping thought that Liu Jinming, having received a university education, should be more progressive in his thinking and not be too influenced by his upbringing. Moreover, Xinping was the daughter of a wealthy local businessman and came from a good family background.
She was determined to be with Liu Jinming, even though her parents were initially skeptical of him and only arranged for him to have a low-level position. However, Liu Jinming worked hard and gradually climbed the corporate ladder until he reached a high position in the company. Only then did Xinping's parents acknowledge him.
Xinping disliked the term "phoenix man," believing it carried too many negative connotations and discrimination. But now it seemed she might have been wrong. Everything Liu Jinming had now was given by her family. Without her, he might never have risen at all.
Looking at the timid man before her, Xinping felt a mix of emotions. "Liu Jinming," she began, her voice slightly hoarse, "how did you promise my parents back then?"
Liu Jinming lowered his head and remained silent.
"You promised them you would treat me well and love only me for a lifetime," Xinping took a deep breath, "how can you act like this now? Who do you think you're fooling?"
Liu Jinming still said nothing.
Xinping forced a smile: "Do you remember what you said to me when we first met?"
Liu Jinming glanced at her before looking down again.
"You said you would always treat me well."
Xinping's nose tinged with bitterness, tears nearly falling from her eyes. "Is this how you treat me well?"
Liu Jinming sighed. "I'm sorry, Xinping."
"Sorry?" Xinping laughed bitterly. "What good does saying sorry do?"
"I..." Liu Jinming hesitated, unable to continue.
Xinping looked at him and felt increasingly heartbroken. She turned her head, wiped away the tears that had spilled from the corners of her eyes, and said softly, "Just go."
Liu Jinming hesitated for a few seconds before turning to leave.
Xinping watched his back, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
"Damn it, that bastard!" Ma Ziming clenched his fists. "Xinping, just wait; I will definitely take revenge for you!"
After hearing the news, her brother immediately took a leave of absence and drove to Xinping's house.
Xinping urged him not to act impulsively, wanting Liu Jinming to resolve it himself.
Her brother angrily slammed the steering wheel. "That bastard is already on top of you, and you still want to endure it?"
Xinping bit her lip and remained silent.
Her brother made a phone call, briefly explained the situation, then turned to Xinping and said, "Mom and Dad are already asleep; let's go straight there."
Xinping hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded.
Her brother drove quickly, reaching Xinping's house in less than twenty minutes.
When Xinping took out her keys to open the door, she found it was locked from the inside.
Her brother angrily banged on the door and shouted, "Open up!"
After a few minutes, the door opened just a crack.
A woman with a simple appearance, dressed in pajamas, peeked out with a wary expression at Xinping and her brother.
Xinping recognized her as Liu Jinming's wife, Yang Zixuan.
"What do you want?" Yang Zixuan asked with an unfriendly tone.
Seeing her like this made Xinping laugh in anger. "This is my house; what do you think we want?"
Yang Zixuan instinctively tried to close the door, but her brother grabbed the doorknob and forcefully pulled the door open.
He was tall and stood in front of the door, giving off an invisible sense of pressure.
Yang Zixuan was so frightened that she took two steps back, her face pale and trembling, unable to speak.
"Who are you?" the brother frowned, "Why are you living in my sister's house?"
