After saying these words, Li Man's heart ached again, and tears uncontrollably stread down her face. "Huo Jian Sheng, do you think I'm a failure as a person? My husband cheated on , and my daughter doesn't recognize as her mother..."
Li Man's voice was hoarse, choked up, and she couldn't continue speaking. Tears gushed out.
Huo Jian Sheng looked at Li Man and suddenly felt a pang of heartache.
Truly, no woman had ever cried like this in front of him.
He raised his hand, wanting to embrace her, but he felt it might be too impulsive and feared it would startle Li Man. So he lowered his hand and comforted her, "Don't think too much. When children grow up, they will eventually leave their parents and live the life they want. Just consider it as her leaving you early, so you won't be so sad."
Li Man shook her head, and tears rolled down with her movents. "No, you don't understand. You don't have children. You simply don't understand that kind of heartache."
Huo Jian Sheng closed his mouth. Well, he truly didn't understand.
Li Man muttered to herself, "I've loved and cared for her since she was little. Whatever she wanted to eat or have, I bought it for her. I fulfilled her every desire. Every ti she fell ill, I stayed up all night taking care of her. Her father never bothered with these things. It was always , changing her diapers and cleaning her ss, raising her to adulthood. And now, she says she doesn't recognize as her mother?!"
"You tell , can I not be heartbroken?"
"I don't even know what aning there is in my life anymore!"
"What aning is there in being a person?!"
Li Man couldn't hold back anymore and cried out in pain.
Huo Jian Sheng felt sorry for her. "Don't live your life for others all the ti. Live for yourself. It's because you care too much about others' feelings that you're living in such pain. Look at , I never care that much. If I don't want to get married, I won't. I don't care about my family's feelings. As long as I'm happy, I do whatever I want. You can call selfish, but if being selfish can make you feel comfortable and happy, then what's the problem?"
"We only have a few decades in this life. If others don't treat you well, treat yourself well. Why do you always expect others to treat you well? If you don't treat yourself well, why would others care about you? Why would they value you?"
"If your daughter says she doesn't recognize you, let her be. When you beco strong, she will naturally co back to recognize you. That's how realistic people are."
"When you have money, you'll find that your relatives and friends will co to flatter you, please you, and fawn over you."
"So, now, work hard to make money. Once you have money, you'll realize that these little troubles of yours don't an anything at all."
"Don't despair and complain when you encounter difficulties. To put it bluntly, even if you die, it won't have any impact on others. The sun rises as usual every day, your daughter goes to school as usual, and your husband goes to work as usual. No one will change because of your death."
"You're here feeling sad and devastated, as if the world has collapsed and life has lost its aning. But the truth is, the sky hasn't fallen, and while you're crying here, your daughter might be watching TV and laughing. Your husband is still with his mistress, unaffected by your sorrow. No one will feel sad because you're sad. They never consider your feelings, so why should you care about them?"
Li Man listened in a daze, forgetting even to cry.
