Reborn and Counterattack: The CEO's Powerful Sweetheart

Chapter 905: Chapter 904: Is There Any Essential Difference Between Divorce?

”When he first hit you, you should have been alert. When he came to your company, you should have been cautious. When he got involved with your sister, you should have stopped it. But you chose to give in!”

Human concessions have no bottom line. When there is a first, there will be a second. When others think you can back down, they will push layer by layer, until you are forced into a corner.

Ding Suzhu is a typical example. Because of traditional beliefs, she believed in enduring first in everything, always thinking that retreating would broaden her horizons. Moreover, the one entangled with her husband was her own sister. As the saying goes, family scandals shouldn’t be made public. It’s this mindset that ultimately harmed her.

This forward-thinking was the first time they had heard it, and they all fell into silence.

They admitted that Gu Tong was right, but they wanted to refute.

This might be the drawback of traditional thoughts clashing with new ideas.

In just a few words, everything in the past was denied. No matter who, they would argue based on reason.

”I want to protect my family. I want to be with my husband. If I’m too strong, will he stay?”

Ding Suzhu’s eyes were like torches, but her rebuttal was mixed with urgency and doubt. She posed this long-troublesome question to Gu Tong, hoping for an answer.

Or perhaps, she had long wanted to change but lacked a reason.

In fact, many people already have their ideas, but they need persuasion to take the difficult first step.

Gu Tong usually found dealing with such people troublesome, but this time, perhaps because both she and Ding Suzhu had been criticized before, she was patient.

”Let me ask you a few questions.”

The sudden question caught Ding Suzhu off guard.

Before she was ready, Gu Tong’s voice sounded again, ”Is there anything worse than the current situation?”

”Divorce,” Ding Suzhu responded without hesitation.

This had been her true goal for years.

”What’s the essential difference between being a nominal couple and being divorced? A man who doesn’t come home, who gets involved with other women, who doesn’t protect you or cherish you, but instead helps others hurt you, is this still your man?”

Ding Suzhu was slightly stunned, not knowing how to answer this question.

But thinking carefully, there really wasn’t any difference...

”Actually, you know in your heart, enduring humiliation is useless, because whether you are soft or strong, it’s the same to him.”

”Gu Tong...” Bai Yingqing tugged at Gu Tong’s clothes, thinking her words were a bit harsh.

Although she wanted to help Ding Suzhu, it was inevitably too hurtful.

Ding Suzhu drained her drink in one gulp, even if it hurt, she still wanted to keep listening, and said, ”It’s okay, Miss Gu, please continue.”

Gu Tong calmly continued, ”Mrs. Ding, perhaps you haven’t realized your real advantage.”

Ding Suzhu was surprised and said, ”I really don’t know.” She’s at this age, no longer matching young pretty girls, wondering what advantage she could have.

”Mrs. Ding, you can bring unexpected wealth to your husband.” Actually, when Ding Suzhu complained, it was always about pleasing, but she forgot that wealth is the thing that can truly please people. So, she said, ”Therefore, your relationship with Ma Zongyu is no different from his with Ding Caiyan. The one who truly holds power is actually you.”

Ding Suzhu gasped, finally understanding Gu Tong’s meaning, and said, ”But if he...”

Gu Tong supported her chin with one hand, chuckled, and said, ”There is no ’if’. Haha, he is already living in heaven, would he be willing to return to hell? Mrs. Ding can help him to heaven, and also can send him to hell. Actually, all the decisions are in your hands.”
