Chapter 462: What do you have to compare with others?
Bai Weiwei was eventually pulled back to the rented apartment by Zhao Kai.
With so many people watching, not a single person stood up to speak up for this vulnerable woman.
Those strangers pointed and gossiped about her with the most vicious faces, all cursing her for being promiscuous and unfaithful.
She shouted herself hoarse, accusing Zhao Kai of not being a man, but it was all in vain.
These irrelevant people are just watching the show; how could they possibly save her?
Her plan to find a live-in nanny fell through again.
As soon as they got back to the rented room, Zhao Kai threw her onto the bed. He looked down at her and cursed, "Bai Weiwei, you slut, you're really restless. You even want to divorce me to ruin Bai Zhi's marriage?"
"Why don't you look in the mirror? In what way can you compare to Bai Zhi?"
Zhao Kai's lips curled slightly, his tone contemptuous, "That woman is right, you're only fit to date a country bumpkin like me, don't overestimate yourself."
"Now we're in the city, not in the village anymore. You can easily steal anything from Bai Zhi if you want."
"Zhao Kai, you bastard, what did I steal from her?" Bai Weiwei got out of bed and questioned him indignantly.
"What do you think?" Zhao Kai sneered. "I was the one who was engaged to Bai Zhi back then. It was you who got me drunk and slept with me. Now that you see she's married well, you're jealous and want to ruin her marriage. You despise me now, don't you? Let me tell you, I will never divorce you unless I die."
"Zhao Kai, you bastard!" Bai Weiwei wanted to scratch his face, but Zhao Kai's face was gloomy and terrifying, and his fists were clenched so tightly that Bai Weiwei didn't dare to stand up.
The difference in strength between men and women is too great; if they were to really fight, she would be no match for Zhao Kai.
Bai Weiwei leaned lazily on the bed, her gaze fixed on Zhao Kai, and chuckled softly.
"Zhao Kai, don't try to smear me. Wasn't it consensual between you two?"
I think you regret marrying me because Bai Zhi has found a legendary doctor as your grandfather and a businessman as your uncle in the city. Do you also want to get back together with Bai Zhi?
Zhao Kai seemed to have been touched on a sore spot by Bai Weiwei. His eyes darted around frantically as he denied it, saying, "I didn't have that thought."
Even if he did, he would never admit it in front of Bai Weiwei.
God knows how much he regretted not marrying Bai Zhi when he was in a car accident and faced numerous setbacks while seeking medical treatment.
If he were to be with Bai Zhi, he would be the grandson-in-law of the legendary healer.
The miracle doctor will definitely do his best to treat him.
It shouldn't have been delayed until now.
Therefore, he harbored resentment towards Bai Weiwei from the bottom of his heart.
If she hadn't seduced him, he would have naturally married Bai Zhi.
Now that Bai Weiwei actually wants to kick him out, he absolutely will not let her have her way.
“Actually, I can understand why you have this thought.” Bai Weiwei’s eyes flickered as she looked at him, and her tone suddenly softened. “If you really still have feelings for Bai Zhi, divorce me, and you might have a chance to start over with her.”
"Get lost." Zhao Kai retorted righteously, "I'm not good enough for her, and I'm not going to be a toad trying to eat swan meat. I advise you to give up on that idea and live a quiet life with me, or don't blame me for being impolite."
What kind of family did Bai Zhi marry into? A military compound!
Her husband is a gunman.
Even if he wasn't very bright, he knew that as a poor commoner, he could never possibly fight against soldiers.
Besides, Bai Zhi didn't like him when they were engaged.
At the time, she only reluctantly compromised because of her parents' wishes, the matchmaker's words, and the threats from her stepmother.
He was fully aware of all of this.
He's already missed his chance to marry Bai Zhi, and now you want him to steal her away?
Is he out of his mind?
One wife is enough.
What's the difference between pretty and ugly?
He knows his own limitations very well.
Bai Weiwei was surprised that Zhao Kai was not moved at all by her words.
That bastard at least has some self-awareness.
But what does he mean?
He felt he was not good enough for Bai Zhi, yet he refused to divorce her, implying that he was good enough for her.
Bai Weiwei became even angrier because of this realization.
She no longer had a friendly expression. "Marriage is a matter of personal choice. If I can't make it work, I'll get a divorce. What can you do about it?"
Zhao Kai gritted his teeth and sneered, "What can I do to you? I'll go back to my hometown and tell everyone that you're lusting after your brother-in-law, trying to break up Bai Zhi's marriage, and that you're a promiscuous slut."
Bai Weiwei naturally retorted without backing down, "So what? Who told you to lack even the most basic functions of a man? I'm only twenty-one years old, I can't be expected to live a life of widowhood forever, can I?"
Who can't hurt each other?
She had a miserable enough life in her previous life, having endured three years of widowhood.
Having finally been reborn, why am I still forced to live a life of widowhood?
In your previous life, you were a widow, but at least you had decent material conditions.
What is she getting out of sticking with this worthless gigolo?
“You…” Zhao Kai was rendered speechless by her sarcastic remarks.
At the same time, fear arose in my heart.
If Bai Weiwei really goes back to her hometown and says something inappropriate, he will lose all face.
Bai Weiwei is a woman. Even if she divorces him and her reputation is ruined in her hometown, she can still remarry far away from her hometown.
But he's different; he's a man.
Dawancun is his root, and he will go back sooner or later.
If the villagers found out he had a problem in that area, wouldn't he be laughed at to death?
There's absolutely nothing good about him breaking ties with Bai Weiwei and getting a divorce.
Not only will his reputation be ruined, but his chances of remarrying in the future will also be slim.
After some deliberation, Zhao Kai finally compromised.
"Weiwei, my illness will be cured."
He suddenly squatted down in front of Bai Weiwei, hugged her legs, and pleaded, "Give me a little more time, okay? I'll go see Doctor Ye again after the New Year. He'll definitely have a solution."
"We're husband and wife, we should go through thick and thin together. You can't divorce me just because we encounter a little hardship. You're so kind, you're definitely not that kind of person."
Zhao Kai calmed down and Bai Weiwei tried to talk to him calmly. "Zhao Kai, my reason for divorcing you is not just because of your problem in that area."
Zhao Kai's eyes lit up slightly, signaling her to continue.
Bai Weiwei looked at her with disappointment and sighed, "I can't see a future with you, there's no hope at all."
“I always thought you were an ambitious young man who would work hard to make a name for yourself after coming from your hometown. I also made a promise to my parents that I would follow you and make them look at you with new eyes.”
She looked at Zhao Kai with exasperation and a bitter smile, "But look at you now! You don't even have a decent job, you can only do odd jobs now. What future do I have with you?"
Bai Weiwei's words hurt Zhao Kai's pride again, causing him to become agitated once more. He sneered, "Bai Weiwei, we are originally from the countryside. We came out here to work and earn money. Isn't the money I earn from odd jobs money? Are you envious of those rich people in the city?"
He looked at Bai Weiwei mockingly, "You're really got a life as fragile as paper, but your ambitions are sky-high. You always have to compare yourself to others. Bai Zhi has a grandfather who's a legendary doctor and an uncle who's a boss. After marrying Lu Ye, she even cured his illness. And what about you?"
Zhao Kai stared at her soul and asked, "What do you have? What does your family have? What makes you think you can compare to her?"
Bai Weiwei, "......."
