Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

"How should I put it? Doing good deeds is certainly commendable, but it's not easy to do good these days. It's hard to be a good person. You were lucky to get away with it this time, but that doesn't mean you'll be safe next time. Promise me, okay? Don't be so impulsive in the future. Luckily, there were a lot of people there today," Chao Yan earnestly advised.

However, his advice was not understood by Bi Yan.

Bi Yan didn't take his words to heart at all.

"You're so long-winded," Bi Yan said coldly.

She suddenly felt a distance growing between herself and Chaoyan, just as the ancient saying goes:
Different road non-phase plan.

Not enough words to speculate.

At this moment, she and Chao Yan seemed like complete strangers.

"Seeing others in danger, you are so indifferent. This is completely different from when you were in China. Why have you become like this? You are no longer the Chao Yan I knew."

Bi Yan's icy tone made Chao Yan's heart tighten.

What's wrong with his girlfriend? Was what he said wrong? Wasn't he just looking out for her? Acting so rashly could very well ruin him. One or two lucky successes don't mean he can be so lucky every time.

As expected.

It was pretty much as Chao Yan had expected.

Bi Yan then uttered those words.

"Chaoyan, let's break up. We're not right for each other."

"You're so cold and indifferent; you don't fit in with me at all. We're no longer from the same world. I'll pay back all the financial assistance you gave me after I graduate," Bi Yan said earnestly.

The couple, who were deeply in love just a moment ago, were in a sweet and loving atmosphere.

In the blink of an eye, they became the most familiar strangers; the speed of their change of face was truly too fast.

Chao Yan has indeed helped Bi Yan a lot. Bi Yan was able to study abroad entirely thanks to Chao Yan's financial support, and Chao Yan has always provided her with various conveniences and stayed by her side.

Starting from junior high school.

The two then got together.

It was Chao Yan who actively pursued Bi Yan.

In Chao Yan's eyes.

Bi Yan is a strong and ambitious girl.

Despite her impoverished background and harsh environment, she never yielded.

Her perseverance and diligence are what Chao Yan admires most about her.

From junior high to high school, and then to university, every little detail between them was vivid in their minds; logically, they shouldn't have had any conflicts. Why did they break up so suddenly? Perhaps she never truly cared about him. If she didn't care, why did they argue? Was it because she always had ulterior motives that they never argued?

Having figured this out, Chao Yan gave a bitter smile, inwardly mocking himself.

"I never imagined that someone I've known for seven or eight years would turn out like this. I've been kept in the dark all this time, it's ridiculous." Chao Yan seemed quite philosophical about the matter.

Let’s just break up.

Being with a woman like that terrifies him.

Perhaps he should be grateful for this opportunity? Otherwise, wouldn't he have continued to be deceived? Thinking about these things, Chao Yan walked to the other side of the crowd.

"Um."

He gave a soft reply, which was his response to Bi Yan.

Chao Yan turned and left, leaving Bi Yan alone, bewildered in the wind.

Bi Yan stared blankly at Chao Yan's departing figure in disbelief.

The man I'd been with for seven or eight years just left like that? Didn't he even try to stop me? Didn't he even ask why I wanted to break up? He just left so abruptly?

Aren't you going to ask me why we broke up?

"You don't care about me at all, do you?!"

As Chao Yan walked further and further away, Bi Yan finally couldn't help but shout loudly.

Chao Yan paused slightly, the two standing several meters apart. His eyes held self-mockery, nonchalance, and utter indifference towards Bi Yan.

He spoke.

His tone was unusually calm.

There was not a trace of sadness in his voice.

"I don't believe I've wronged you. You know how I've treated you all these years. You were the one who initiated the breakup, so why say anything more now that we've already broken up?" As Chao Yan spoke, he casually hung up the phone that had suddenly rang.

"Oh, it's Auntie calling."

"There's no need to answer now."

These words caused Bi Yan's expression to change slightly.

"Since we've already broken up, there's no need to say more. You're asking this question because you want to hear how much I miss you and how I'll try to win you back. I think since neither of us owes the other anything, the breakup should be dignified. Don't expect me to say how much I'm heartbroken; everyone can live without each other, and I'm not going to kill myself."

After Chao Yan finished speaking, he turned and left.

It was hasty; it was indeed hasty this time.
She really didn't think things through this time.

I completely forgot about all the complicated relationships within my family.

How will her family view her breaking up with Chaoyan so inexplicably?

Furthermore, Chao Yan comes from a very wealthy family.

That's what I valued most about him in the first place, and now that we've broken up, I won't get those benefits anymore. It's over, completely over. She hasn't found anyone else yet. At this rate, her studies in the Empire will become incredibly difficult.

Once Bi Yan understood this, her expression changed drastically.

In the end, Bi Yan still chased after Chao Yan in the direction he had left.

The onlookers couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement at what they saw.

Many people in the empire are talking about Bi Yan.

"This girl is pretty brave; her boyfriend isn't."

“I like brave girls like this. James, what do you think of her? I’d like to get to know her; I’ve never dated a Chinese woman before,” said a blond, blue-eyed man.

"I'm glad you like it, young master."

James responded with a smile.

He was quite familiar with the young master's preferences.

It doesn't matter who the other person is, as long as the young master is satisfied.

Perhaps the young master is still inexperienced and hasn't realized it yet.

But as an experienced butler, how could he not see through the clues? The couple from earlier clearly had a problem, and the problem wasn't with the man.

And the girl who initiated the breakup.

In China, women have a relatively high status.

This has created a group of gold-digging women. They will stop at nothing to achieve their goals and are adept at using their advantages to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy.

Of course, most Chinese women still maintain traditions.

However, three or four out of ten Chinese women who came to the empire were not particularly concerned with tradition. After all, the empire was known for its open-mindedness. They viewed Chinese tradition as conservative and outdated.

Therefore.

That's why this blond, blue-eyed young master became interested in Bi Yan.

Bi Yan was unaware that she had already caught the eye of a wealthy young master.

Her partner comes from a wealthy family and is definitely richer than her current boyfriend.

No, I should say ex-boyfriend, since they've already broken up.

The two sides have no further connection.

"Chaoyan, Chaoyan, let me explain! I acted impulsively just now, without thinking it through. Don't go! How can we break up after so many years together? I'm just angry that you're so cowardly. You weren't like this back in China. I don't like the current you. In my memory, you've always been a pillar of strength."

Bi Yan kept calling out. She was speaking in Mandarin.

It seems they were afraid of being too embarrassed.

She had just been speaking the Imperial language, but now she was speaking Chinese.

"Chaoyan, please don't go. We grew up together as childhood sweethearts. After all these years, don't you understand me? How could I possibly break up with you?"

"I was just too angry."

"Isn't it partly your fault too? Who told you to be so timid? You're completely different from before." While pleading for forgiveness, Bi Yan repeatedly pointed out Chao Yan's faults, trying to change this stubborn man's mind. She knew she had to put in the effort.

Chao Yan has been like this since she was a child.

He has an extremely stubborn temper; once he's made up his mind, nothing can change it.

It's like he's convinced she's the love of his life.

That's why the two, from vastly different backgrounds, were able to come together.

His parents initially disagreed, but Chaoyan was just too stubborn.

Ultimately, they had no choice but to reluctantly accept Bi Yan as their daughter-in-law. Of course, it was only a reluctant acceptance; they never liked Bi Yan, after all, they were not a good match.

However, considering the realities of the situation...

Times have changed; arranged marriages are now outdated feudal ideas. They didn't want to ruin their child's life with their stubbornness. Since Chaoyan liked it, they could only try to accept it.

How should I put it? Old ginger is spicier.

Chao Yan is ultimately too naive.

He was easily seduced by women and fell for that vixen's tricks.

"Why did they hang up? Weren't we supposed to be discussing their wedding plans back in China? It sounded a bit noisy on the other end; could they have been arguing?"

Bi Yan's mother, who is also the "auntie" who just called.

At this moment, he frowned, not understanding what Chao Yan was doing.
This obedient son-in-law would never have dared to hang up on him like that before.

Logically speaking, hanging up the phone occasionally is normal.

Accidentally pressing the hang-up button or being unable to answer due to an emergency is a common occurrence. Why would Bi Yan's mother have this misconception? Why is she so certain that Chao Yan must answer 100% of the time? There's a reason for this situation, mainly because Chao Yan has always been extremely obedient and filial to his future mother-in-law.

I will answer any incoming calls.

He will answer the phone immediately, no matter when or where.

This has always been the case; there has never been an exception.

This prospective son-in-law was quite dutiful, already showing filial piety to his future mother-in-law even before the marriage. Because of this, the mother-in-law didn't pay much attention to her son-in-law.

Human nature has its flaws to some extent.

The better you treat him, the more unscrupulous he becomes.

He was offered alms daily and treated with kindness at all times, yet he did not appreciate it.

Bi Yan's mother was exactly like that; she didn't care about her son-in-law at all, only about her own feelings. She thought about how she often delayed answering the phone, and when she was in a good mood, she simply wouldn't answer. In comparison, Chao Yan was practically a complete simp. The most amazing thing was that Chao Yan was completely unaware that he had become a simp.

He gets angry when people call him a simp.

He always said it was true love, not just being a simp! He firmly believed that.

In the living room, besides both sets of parents, Li Chaoyan, who had been invited, was also present. Chaoyan had specifically asked him to be a witness, having already informed him beforehand.

Therefore.

The elders of both families specially invited Li Chaoyan to attend.

Bi Yan's mother also knew that Li Chaoyan was a high-ranking official in the military region.

With Li Chaoyan as a witness, I'm sure my daughter won't suffer any injustice in the future.

"I think I just heard Lin Beichen's voice? It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it really be that much of a coincidence?" Li Chaoyan frowned slightly.

He never expected that it really was Lin Beichen on the other end of the phone.

Since Chao Yan hung up after a short while, Li Chao Yan couldn't be sure. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head, assuming he was just being overly sensitive and hallucinating.

The main issue is that even if it is confirmed that it is Lin Beichen.

It's none of his business now; he absolutely mustn't contact Lin Beichen. If he does, they could very well be monitored by the Imperial communications department.

If their conversation were indeed being monitored, it could expose Lin Beichen's identity, causing the entire subsequent plan to fail.

This is a matter that can have far-reaching consequences.

Whether or not he was hallucinating, he had to pretend he knew nothing.

As for revealing information to the two families in front of him, only a madman would do that. He really likes Chaoyan; he's practically watched him grow up.

I didn't approve of Chaoyan dating a girl like that from the beginning.

Chao Yan has made significant contributions to the military and is a research-oriented talent.

After completing his studies at Paradise University, Chao Yan will resolutely return to China. Li Chao Yan naturally values ​​such top-tier scientific talent, hence his acceptance of Chao Yan's invitation to be a witness. Now it seems, indeed, a problem has arisen.

Logically, marital problems should be heartbreaking. But Li Chaoyan wasn't worried about Chaoyan's current situation at all; in fact, he was somewhat relieved. Marrying the wrong wife can ruin three generations, and a woman like Bi Yan was indeed unsuitable to be Chaoyan's wife.

Being too restless doesn't mean she's bad or not outstanding.

The main reason is that Li Chaoyan doesn't have a good impression of this type of shrewd woman.

"If Chaoyan were to marry a woman like that, his future achievements would likely be limited. With such a wife, his future would be essentially sealed off."

The ancients said:

Behind every successful man, there is a woman who silently supports him.

It may not be an absolute rule that there isn't necessarily a woman silently supporting a successful man, but it's safe to say that there is definitely no woman silently supporting a failed man.

Especially families like Chaoyan's.

Choosing a wife shouldn't be based solely on her intelligence and wit.

Bi Yan is indeed intelligent; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to get into Paradise University.

The key issue is that Bi Yan lacks the demeanor of a matriarch.

“Hey, mother-in-law, what kind of attitude is this? Can’t you care about your own son? I suspect the young couple had a fight, and we, as elders, should try to mediate,” Zhu Mei said to Chao Yan’s mother, dissatisfied.

From the moment we left until now, this mother-in-law has been ignoring us.

His attitude was completely different from when Chao Yan was present.

Zhu Mei's attitude was too arrogant.

She had no idea that there might be something wrong with her daughter.

Zhu Mei directly targeted Chao Yan, muttering profanities incessantly. Zhou Yuan was speechless at such a mother-in-law. She felt there was no need to communicate with Zhu Mei; the two were completely on different wavelengths.

There's no point in arguing any further.

After all that talk, Zhu Mei will probably just blame her son.

Her precious son was so outstanding; when had she ever neglected them? Now, the couple's arguments were mostly Bi Yan's fault. Chao Yan had never wanted to argue with Bi Yan; she knew this better than anyone. Back then, Chao Yan defied all opposition to be with Bi Yan, remaining steadfast despite her family's relentless opposition. But now, this situation had arisen.

Haha! That woman finally slipped up.

Zhou Yuan is a mother, and also a woman.

Women often understand women better, and she saw through Bi Yan's motives for approaching her son long ago. Unfortunately, the foolish son never grasped the situation, and in the end, Bi Yan was too cunning, completely manipulating his precious son.

Zhou Yuan understood it very well.

She knew exactly what she had to do.

There were reasons why I let my son run wild before.

She knew that the more she opposed his relationship with Bi Yan, the more persistent this foolish boy would become. She couldn't provoke his rebellious nature; she had to make him face reality. (End of Chapter)
