Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1449: Chapter 1450: One Must Pay for Their Impulses

Upon hearing Cheng Su’s question, Liu Wenjing trembled slightly, lifted her head, then lowered it again, murmuring softly: "What’s the point in regretting or not regretting now? It’s already done!"

"But you’ve pushed yourself to the brink." Cheng Su’s voice slightly raised: "What you did is already disgraceful, an uncle and sister-in-law eloping, it concerns human ethics and morals. Sure, you now have a child together, and no matter how unhappy or upset your aunt is, she basically has no choice but to admit defeat and nod."

Especially now, it’s difficult for Weiqiu to find a partner, no matter how stubborn the aunt is, she can’t drag her daughter along for a lifetime, so she surely has to step back, otherwise these two might run off again, and she’ll be stuck putting up with two people, Weiqiu, for a lifetime?

"But have you thought about it, when she nods and you are together, even if you leave your hometown and live elsewhere, wouldn’t your mother-in-law torment you? I’m afraid given her temperament, she would intensify it, and at that time, how would you cope? How would you and Weixia’s child cope?" Cheng Su said.

Liu Wenjing began to cry softly: "I have no choice, she forced me. She made me swear in front of Weidong’s memorial tablet that I would never remarry, keep my chastity in the Deng family for him. I couldn’t stand it, I’m so young, how can I take it? I hate her, if she wants to keep it, fine, but why should I? I’m indignant!"

"So to retaliate against her, you eloped with Weixia?" Cheng Su said bluntly.

Liu Wenjing paused, then nodded after a moment: "Isn’t it because she wants a good reputation? A lifetime of seeking a good reputation, wanting me to be the virtuous widow, so the Deng family has a good reputation. Then I want her to be unable to show her face, let’s see if she’s still going to force others for a reputation."

Indeed, that’s how it is.

Cheng Su said coldly: "Weixia is foolish and you are even more so. This rivalry of yours has cost you your entire life. Carrying such a heavy shackle forward, is it worth it?"

"You don’t understand, how could you understand..."

"I don’t understand. I don’t understand how you could be so foolish!" Cheng Su interrupted her coldly, saying: "In terms of emotions, reason, and law, does remarrying require the mother-in-law’s consent? That’s unreasonable anywhere. You are determined to remarry, even if you secretly run away, what’s she going to do to you? But doing this with Weixia, yes, you got the pleasure of revenge, but you’ve sacrificed yourself and your child. How will you face your mother-in-law later on?"

Liu Wenjing was dumbfounded.

"Any other man you choose, no matter how difficult life is, won’t be harder than being with Weixia." Cheng Su said indifferently: "Just wait, there will be ample times of hardship in the future, carrying shackles, and this child won’t be able to hold his head up either." She pointed to the child in her arms.

Thinking about that scene, Liu Wenjing began to cry again.

She cried sorrowfully, making Cheng Su feel agitated, then handed her two tissues, saying: "Stop crying, save those tears for later, there will be plenty you’ll have to cry about in the future."

Liu Wenjing opened her mouth.

Cheng Su said: "Don’t blame anyone, the situation has developed to this point because of your own choices. Keep this lesson in mind, acting on impulse carries consequences far bigger than you imagine. Whenever you feel impulsive in the future, think about this incident, and consider whether you have the ability to bear the consequences of impulsivity."

People always have to pay for their impulses, remember this, and perhaps in the future, when you encounter matters, you’ll think twice and become rational.
