Love is like sugar and marriage is like water

Ever since he received the vague video and the text describing his wife's affair from Cheng Gong, Cao Pu's mood fell into a chaotic and complicated situation - like a bunch of intricate and tightly wrapped things. The ball of twine kept getting messy after being cut and sorted, making him feel endless confusion and exhaustion.

He took out a cigarette - he hadn't smoked for a long time because Murong Lian never allowed him to smoke, so he quit smoking obediently. Despite this, given his current mood, he still took out his cigarettes rebelliously and started smoking one cigarette after another, so violently that he couldn't stop coughing...

He suddenly remembered the past experience of Murong Lian's parents who helped him wholeheartedly - if it weren't for the enlightenment and help of Murong Lian's parents, he would not have achieved the career success he has today.

Cao Pu lost his mother in his early years. After graduating from high school, he failed to pass the college entrance examination just by a few points. In order to earn more money to make a living, he learned the carpenter trade from his father... With his intelligence, he could master the craftsmanship as soon as he learned it.

However, not long after he learned the carpenter's trade and was ready to start his career, his father fell seriously ill and died of overwork - his heart was as painful as being pierced by a sharp arrow.

He happened to be eighteen years old at that time. He was an only child and had no other relatives around him, so he could only take care of himself. So, he came to this city from the countryside to work. First, he worked at a construction site, but later because the contractor withheld wages, he went out to work alone.

He endured hardships and stood hard work... He held signs everywhere asking for carpentry jobs in squares, bridgeheads, alleys, communities and other places. Because he was smart, capable, skilled in craftsmanship, paid reasonably, and well-spoken, business was very good for a time.

After more than ten years of this, he only earned more than [-] yuan... But he felt that carpentry was too hard, so he used the money he earned to open a clothing store...

Who knew that he was not the material to run the clothing business at all? In addition, because online shopping has just emerged, buying clothes online has become a fashion, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to do business in physical clothing stores.

As a result, the business of his clothing store plummeted and he had to close down... Not only did he lose all the [-] yuan he earned, but he also owed a huge amount of foreign debt.

He felt desperate, like a dark and bottomless abyss, swallowing up all his hope and light. He found a small restaurant... drank more than a pound of white wine, made himself drunk, and prepared to commit suicide by jumping into the river to end his life...

Unexpectedly, he fell down. On the way to the river bank, he fell to the ground due to drunkenness and fell unconscious.

At this time, Murong Lian's parents happened to be passing by and sent Cao Pu to the hospital for treatment without hesitation. Thanks to timely treatment, he was able to save his life.

Murong Lian's parents were both big businessmen with business acumen. After they heard about Cao Pu's experience, they enlightened Cao Pu and said: "A businessman must build up confidence and withstand beatings. It is normal to make profits and losses in business." Yes, but as long as the confidence remains, there will be opportunities and hopes for a comeback."

Then they told Cao Pu their perseverance entrepreneurial stories. Cao Pu was greatly moved after hearing this. He regained his confidence and courage and plunged into the business world again...

Murong Lian's parents had no sons but only a daughter, Murong Lian. When they saw that Cao Pu was a good young man, they always treated Cao Pu as their son.

At that time, the real estate industry was just emerging, and Murong Lian's parents guaranteed and mortgaged loans to banks on behalf of Cao Pu, giving Cao Pu the capital to start his business. Cao Pu used the money to buy land and build commercial housing for sale.

Cao Pu took advantage of the fact that the laws, regulations and rules of the real estate market were not perfect, so that the commercial housing he built was sold at a high price even though the procedures were not complete.

In this way, Cao Pu not only paid off the bank loan, but also made a net profit of several million yuan... He used the money he earned to buy land to build commercial housing... This cycle goes back and forth, and his funds are exhausted. It snowballs more and more.

With this money, Cao Pu expanded his business, not only repairing houses for sale, but also operating building materials, home appliances, furniture, catering, advertising, e-commerce, logistics, property, decoration and other real estate-related businesses.

Later, he established the Cao Group on these foundations and built a group building in the city center.

He became a successful businessman in the city and became so popular that some media outlets rushed to cover him.

Cao Pu met Murong Lian when he was taken in by Murong's parents. Murong Lian also encouraged him to find the motivation to move forward in difficult situations. He thought Murong Lian was pretty good. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also extremely kind-hearted.

At that time, Murong Lian had many suitors behind her, and these people were either rich or noble, so Cao Pu felt extremely inferior in front of her. He vowed to behave well before he could be qualified to marry her.

Among the many suitors, Murong Lian found that Cao Pu was honest, diligent, and sincere to others... These qualities were not found in other suitors.

In addition, Murong Lian's parents were both killed in a car accident. At that time, Murong Lian felt like the sky was falling, without any support or support.

Cao Pu was not only busy at the funeral of Murong Lian's parents, but also stayed with her wholeheartedly. He was like a warm and practical light that illuminated and comforted her lonely and helpless soul. He was like a pillar and a mountain that gave Murong Lian support and support, making him her guide to moving forward. man of life.

Later, Murong Lian chose to marry Cao Pu.

Cao Pu was twenty years older than Murong Lian and had average appearance. When they were in love, he treated Murong Lian like a brother to his sister. He was obedient to her and won the envious and jealous eyes of countless people.

They once had a sweet and happy time. During that time, Murong Lian's heart was as sweet as honey and she was always filled with happiness.

But the good times did not last long, especially after their son Cao Jing was born, they often quarreled. Maybe it's because the two of them have been together for too long, and once the novelty and love feeling wears off, there is an emotional generation gap and differences of opinion between the two.

For example, the two often quarreled because of their different views on educating and managing children, decorating the villa, spending money on things, and how to behave in the world.

Later, the two stopped arguing when they got tired of arguing, but no matter how much they quarreled, they never started fighting, but remained silent.

You ignore me and I ignore you and don’t talk to each other, just like strangers living under the same roof. This sometimes lasts for a long time, and the longest one lasted for half a year.

Both of them felt tired, but neither wanted a divorce. On the one hand, it’s because of the children, on the other hand, it’s because of the property—both of them are reluctant to let go.

However, despite this, Cao Pu always believed that Murong Lian would not cheat on her, and she would never do anything stupid like sorry for him and have an affair with another man.

As for Cao Pu himself, he was also loyal to his marriage. But sometimes when he was accompanying officials and clients to sing, drink, wash feet, massage, travel, play golf, etc., he also had some ambiguities with the female bartenders, female singers, female coaches, female tour guides, etc. relation.

He believes that these are one-time expenses and will not have much impact on the marriage.

Of course, although he is a successful entrepreneur, he is not good at love, marriage and family, and it can even be said that he has no experience at all.

He doesn't understand his wife's thoughts and doesn't communicate with her. He ignores his wife's emotional life...

He is sometimes self-righteous, willful, and indifferent. He thinks that his wife has food, clothing, housing, flowers... All material conditions are enough for her, and she will not be unfaithful to him.

He had been married to Murong Lian for nearly ten years, and he was used to living with his wife.

Now that he received this video and text unexpectedly, he was at a loss and at a loss what to do - because he didn't know whether this was true or false, he couldn't be sure... If this was false, it was not a misunderstanding. Did he kill his wife and harm her?
  He thought: "Cheng Gong is my competitor in the business world. What purpose did he purposely send and tell me about this? Maybe it was to sow discord...or some other conspiracy."

The answer to this question in his mind was vague and uncertain. He really wanted to find someone he trusted to talk to or discuss, but he didn't know who to turn to. In the past, the person he felt he could trust the most was Murong Lian. If he was unsure about anything, he would always discuss it with her, but now?

"If you ask my wife again, wouldn't that be... asking for trouble?"

He suddenly woke up as if someone had poured cold water on him, and then patted his shiny bald forehead with his hand.

"I am really a stupid fool. Before this issue is clarified, whether she betrayed me is still a question mark. I should be more careful with her!"

"But, but... I have become accustomed to living with her for so many years. She understands me, and I understand her. She is a good woman, a good wife, and a good mother, isn't she?"

"If I divorce her tomorrow, although I can marry another woman, will I be able to find a more suitable and beautiful woman than her?"

When Cao Pu thought of this, he blindly and confidently believed that his wife was innocent, so much so that he was convinced... The anger he had just been filled with was swept away and disappeared.
