CHAPTER 927: CHAPTER 928: IGNORANCE IS BLISS

Qi Fenglian practically fled from Cheng Su’s family. She originally came to find out the truth and to plead.

But this truth slapped her hard several times, leaving her utterly humiliated.

Qi Fenglian returned home with immense embarrassment, wanting to ask Zhang Jisheng how he could do such a thing. Where was he placing her dignity?

Cheng Su walked into the room. Qi Taiguo had his hands behind his head, eyes fixed on the top of the mosquito net, his mouth pressed into a straight line.

He was angry!

Having shared a bed for more than a year, Cheng Su had come to understand him well. Although he seemed calm, he was actually angry.

Cheng Su sat down on the edge of the bed and said, "Still angry?"

Qi Taiguo snorted.

"In this world of countless couples, which pairing willingly chooses to live apart? It’s all out of necessity. Look at it this way; if you and I were living apart, could you handle it?" Cheng Su sighed.

Qi Taiguo hesitated, saying, "We wouldn’t live apart."

"Nothing in life is absolute. I mean if it really happened, it would be out of necessity. So, it’s only natural Fenglian doesn’t want Zhang Jisheng to go back. After all, two people earning money is better than one, and you know how much Fenglian wants to break free from that family." Cheng Su pulled his hand over and patted it, "That’s why, a couple working together achieves things faster than one person going at it alone."

She could understand Qi Fenglian’s mindset, wanting to live an independent life, free from her in-laws’ control. That kind of life requires strength, and a couple striving together makes progress faster.

"I know, but you also know what Zhang Jisheng is like, he..." Qi Taiguo ground his teeth in anger, "I really felt like telling her all the disgusting things he’s done. Then she’d have no reason to let him stay here."

Cheng Su sighed and said, "If you say it, do you think she would divorce him?"

"Then let them divorce. What’s the use of such a man?" Qi Taiguo sneered, "Besides, with the disgraceful things he’s done, why should the two children suffer from it too?"

"That’s true, but what about the children’s custody? Do you think the Zhang family will give Fenglian the children? Those two kids are Fenglian’s life." Cheng Su understood people of this era too well. Take for example Chen Shouwang’s affair; even though Hualing hasn’t expressed her thoughts, her parents already represent her stance. Their marriage is unlikely to end.

Divorce is too shameful and complicated for people of this era.

Last year, when Fenglian gave birth, she merely mentioned divorce, and her mother-in-law lashed out at her, saying divorce might as well take her life. So, if Fenglian ever talked about divorce, no one would agree with that decision.

And since divorce isn’t an option, bringing up Zhang Jisheng’s dirty deeds would only be like stabbing her heart, adding unnecessary trouble.

Sometimes, remaining in the dark and knowing nothing can be a kind of happiness, though it’s an illusion.

But isn’t that how most people are? Ignorance is bliss!

"I don’t know if I can keep holding it in," Qi Taiguo said, aware of his own temper.

"Who wouldn’t feel that way?" Cheng Su was also suppressing her feelings, many words reached the tip of her tongue but were swallowed back down, but does hiding it make everything alright?

Cheng Su murmured, "Keeping such things hidden, watching Zhang Jisheng deceive her, is that really for her own good? Is such a marriage meaningful?" She genuinely felt conflicted.

Qi Taiguo’s body stiffened, lips pressed together in silence.
