Chapter 327 - 326: Never Asked About Mother
Zhao Gang, seeing Ye Xinyan’s expression did not seem to be feigned, sighed and said, "It’s indeed unforgivable for him to propose a divorce under those circumstances. However, now that you’ve become much wiser, if he truly regrets it, you might not necessarily ..."
"Not necessarily, definitely not," Ye Xinyan emphatically shook her head, "That is absolutely out of the question. Uncle Zhao, please consider another possibility."
Zhao Gang sighed inwardly, understanding Ye Xinyan’s feelings. The incident at Duke An’s birthday banquet, although there were various faults on Miss Cousin’s part, for a woman to be seen struggling with a naked man by so many, the scene was such that no woman could bear the consequences that would follow. Then to be divorced by Jiang Yifan, blocking her last way out, it was completely understandable that Miss Cousin found it hard to let go of her feelings.
This world is harsh on women, and, faced with that situation, there were only two paths a woman could take: to be sent by her family to the ancestral temple and never see daylight again, or to take her own life.
That Miss Cousin was able to escape that fate was a great fortune amidst misfortune.
He did not blame Jiang Yifan any less, but a woman’s reputation was more important than anything. If Jiang Yifan had a change of heart and was willing to take Miss Cousin back, such a result would be quite favorable for a woman, much better than if Miss Cousin were to marry someone else.
He glanced at Ye Xinyan and tried to persuade her again, "As a woman, and still young, you will eventually have to marry. If you choose someone else’s family, Miss Cousin would be marrying again, which no matter how you put it, won’t sound good. At the time, Jiang Yifan was certainly heartless, but if he can repent, Miss Cousin and him were still husband and wife by marriage, which is better than marrying again."
Ye Xinyan continuously waved her hand, "Let’s not talk about this matter. If that’s what Uncle Zhao is here for, then I must excuse myself, as the year is coming to an end and there are still many things I need to attend to."
