My Ares Son-in-Law

Ten years, for a woman, it is so long and precious.

To those women who only care about money and benefits, such a life may be a kind of happiness and satisfaction. But to Lin Miaomiao, this is undoubtedly the hell of her life, the pain and shadow that can never be erased from her heart.

After all, Lin Miaomiao's family background was not bad. Although they were not a wealthy family that could spend money like water and live a luxurious life, they were also a well-off family with no worries about food and clothing.

Her parents are small businessmen with some money. Although they are not wealthy, they are a happy family and live a fulfilling life.

Growing up in such a family environment, Lin Miaomiao has learned to respect herself and love herself since childhood. She has her own bottom line and principles. There is no need for her to sell her body for money, and it is even more impossible for her to sell her personality and dignity for material benefits.

However, fate always seems to play jokes on people.

Lin Miaomiao's peaceful life was broken by Cheng Jia, who seemed glamorous but actually had hidden secrets. Cheng Jia used money and power as means to forcibly pull her out of her original life trajectory and throw her into this abyss full of pain and despair.

The root of all this, in the final analysis, is the sin of the Cheng family. In order to satisfy their own selfish desires, they use and exploit others by any means, trampling on the happiness and dignity of others. Such behavior is really extremely shameless, and people can't help but feel sad and angry for Lin Miaomiao's experience.

Xiao Chen stood quietly by the side, listening to Lin Miaomiao's story, his eyes full of anger and sympathy. He knew very well that in this seemingly prosperous but actually indifferent society, there were many people like Lin Miaomiao who were oppressed by power and money.

"If you could start over again, what would you do?" Xiao Chen's voice suddenly rang out in the quiet air, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness and expectation.

"Start over?" When Lin Miaomiao heard this, a glimmer of joy like the first light of dawn quietly emerged in her eyes. The light was warm and short-lived, but in the blink of an eye it was covered by the haze of reality and dimmed. She sighed softly, with a bit of helplessness and self-mockery in her tone.

"How can I start over? I'm already in my early thirties, and my youth has long gone. At this age, talking about learning new knowledge or changing careers seems so inadequate and out of place.

What’s more, I was threatened by Cheng’s family, so I had to compromise and give up my dreams, and tied myself tightly to Cheng’s ship, which looked gorgeous but was actually turbulent. ”

At this point, Lin Miaomiao's expression became complicated, showing both regret for past choices and a sense of powerlessness against the constraints of reality.

"Do you think the Cheng family will let me go easily?" She smiled bitterly and continued.

"Back then, I was still a young girl who had not experienced much of the world. They bound me tightly with a contract. Every word in the contract was like a cold shackle, nailing me firmly to a position that did not belong to me.

I tried to resist, but every time I struggled, I was only oppressed more severely. My parents, because of the threat and intimidation of starting a family, always advised me to be patient and obedient.

If I don't obey, not only myself, but also my parents will suffer unimaginable consequences... In this case, how can I start over? Forget it, everything is a foregone conclusion. "After saying this, Lin Miaomiao's shoulders drooped slightly, and the whole person seemed to be drained of all strength by an invisible force, leaving only a deep helplessness and sadness, slowly spreading in the air.

"You don't have to worry about starting a family. I'm here to help you solve it. As for age... that's not a problem. Now is the age of warriors, and human life expectancy has been greatly extended. If you really want to start over, I can introduce you to the school you want to study in. After graduation, I can arrange a job for you based on your grades."

A gentle but firm smile appeared on Xiao Chen's lips, his eyes were clear and deep, as if he could see into people's hearts.

"Don't doubt my words. I can do what I say." There was no exaggeration in his tone, only unquestionable confidence and seriousness. Every word sounded like a promise from the bottom of his heart, so heavy that people couldn't help but want to believe it.

There was a flash of astonishment in Lin Miaomiao's eyes. She looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. The man didn't look very old, but his words revealed an extraordinary aura.

His smile was warm and inclusive, yet powerful, as if it could easily smooth out the wrinkles in people's hearts and give them an unprecedented sense of security. Her heartbeat inexplicably accelerated, and an unprecedented emotion surged in her chest, a desire for the unknown and a rekindling of hope.

"You... who are you..." Lin Miaomiao's voice trembled slightly, and there was both confusion and a hint of imperceptible expectation in her eyes.

She had never met such a confident and serious person. The power revealed in his tone made her want to explore more and understand this man who seemed ordinary but seemed to have infinite possibilities.

"I..." Lin Miaomiao hesitated, her lips moving slightly, as if she had a thousand words to say, but didn't know where to start. Her eyes flashed with complex emotions, surprise, confusion, and a subtle excitement and hope.

"Don't worry about answering me. Think about it. When you've made up your mind, call me." Xiao Chen's voice was gentle but firm. He understood Lin Miaomiao's mood at the moment and gave her enough time and space to think and choose.

Immediately, he pulled out an exquisite business card with his contact information printed on it from his pocket and gently placed it in Lin Miaomiao's palm. "I really don't want to see a passionate young man like you being defeated by reality. If others don't give you a chance, I will!"

Lin Miaomiao looked down at the business card in her hand. The concise and powerful handwriting on it seemed to carry an inexplicable power, which made her feel warm. She felt like she saw a ray of light in the darkness, and an unprecedented hope quietly took root in her heart.

She hadn't expected that she had planned to live a life of idleness and waiting for death, and to live like a living dead in this abyss. Could there really be a chance to start over? This thought made her excited and nervous, with mixed feelings in her heart.

"I was so sarcastic before... so..." Lin Miaomiao blushed for a moment when she thought of her previous coldness and resistance to Xiao Chen.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and a hint of apology and embarrassment flashed in her eyes. She knew that her previous attitude was not good, even a little excessive, but Xiao Chen's tolerance and generosity made her feel ashamed and grateful. (End of this chapter)
