Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 890: Chapter 537: Opening One’s Heart / Going Public / Visit (2)

After the waiter left with the tea taken away, Yu Feng sighed lightly and spoke first: ”Wen Tong, I know you’re a good man, but given Xiao Miao’s current state, it’s impossible for us to remain friends.”

She isn’t even forty yet, but her eyes were as lifeless as an old person awaiting death, void of any spark. Saying she was utterly despondent wouldn’t be exaggerating.

As her sister, I genuinely feel for her. Seeing you reminds me of who she used to be. Yes, Xiao Miao has a bad temper, but reaching this point, do you really think you bear no responsibility at all?

Infertility weighs on her like a boulder, suffocating her. You say you don’t mind, but how could she gauge the truth of your words? Each time she wants a deep conversation, you impatiently dismiss her as overthinking.

She inherently lacks a sense of security, and your attitude only exacerbates her uncertainty. Ever since she was young, Xiao Miao feared loneliness, so she chose to follow our uncle’s arrangement, hoping her maternal home could be her eternal refuge.

Wen Tong, you gradually pushed her towards the brink of betrayal. Loving someone isn’t about bottling it all up; some things, if unsaid, remain forever unknown to the other person. You might think actions speak louder than words, but some matters can’t be displayed through actions.

To outsiders, it seems you’ve been enduring Xiao Miao’s behavior, but as her former husband, you should know whether you truly cared for her when you were alone together.”

Wen Tong remained silent for a long while before saying, ”Third sister, I went to see Yu Miao.”

Yu Feng looked at him in surprise: ”Really? Then you two...”

”She didn’t see me.” A flash of pain crossed Wen Tong’s eyes. ”Seeing her like that, I didn’t know how to face her. After hesitating for a long time, I ultimately didn’t dare to meet her face to face.”

Yu Feng sighed deeply, ”Wen Tong, do you think I asked you here to blame you or urge you to reconcile with Xiao Miao?”

Wen Tong remained silent, not uttering a word for a long time.

”As expected, that’s what you thought, but you’re wrong. You and Xiao Miao can never get back together. Her current mindset won’t allow her to live a worldly life, and you can’t give up everything for her either.

I asked you here because of our previously good relationship, hoping to resolve your inner knots. Of course, if it weren’t for your recent behavior, I would still be on the fence about mentioning it.” Yu Feng looked earnestly at Wen Tong. ”The woman with you, is she your girlfriend?”

Wen Tong nodded: ”Yes.”

”You haven’t gone public with your relationship, have you?”

”No.” Surprise flickered in Wen Tong’s eyes.

”Nothing surprising about it. You were my brother-in-law for so many years. I’m well aware of your personality. Even if you hadn’t gone to see Xiao Miao, her current state would still be a barrier for you deep down.

Just like last time, you almost married Liang Huarui. If you had given her enough security, she wouldn’t have done something so outrageous. Of course, part of it is due to her personality, but you must admit, being with her wasn’t mainly because you wanted to be with her, but to give your parents an explanation, right?”

Wen Tong was silent for a long while before saying, ”Pretty much.”

”Not just pretty much, it’s a hundred percent. This time, it was that woman who took the initiative, wasn’t it?”

”Not really, we both felt pretty good about each other.” Wen Tong scratched his head, ”Third sister, I feel like you’re almost a psychologist; you can guess what others are thinking nearly accurately.”

”Alright, you understand my point even if I don’t delve into details, right? The matters between you and Xiao Miao are all in the past. Xiao Miao’s current state partly stems from her personality and also from our uncle’s pressure. You don’t need to carry that heavy cross for a lifetime.

A woman’s intuition is incredibly sensitive. Whether you truly like her wholeheartedly, if you sincerely want to be with her, she feels it. Hesitating like this will only end up hurting her and yourself. That woman is good; seize the opportunity, lest you regret it in the future.”

”Third sister...” Wen Tong didn’t know what to say for a moment. Having known Yu Feng for so many years, he never realized she had such keen insight. She could see the issues between him and Hua Rong clearly.

Indeed, Hua Rong had hinted at meeting each other’s parents, but he had diverted the topic. Hua Rong, being a smart woman, never brought it up again since then.
