Chapter 614 - Chapter 614: Chapter Six Hundred and Twenty (2/2)

Su Wenyue understood that Chen Li’s intentions in revealing this information might not have been entirely for her sake, but still, they carried good will. Besides, she needed to maintain appearances.
“`
“`
“Alright, I have my own business to attend to anyway and was thinking of leaving. Take care of yourself, won’t you? No matter what happens, you have children,” Chen Li didn’t mind Su Wenyue’s discourteousness. Considering the circumstances, Su Wenyue was already behaving rationally by not lashing out in her presence. Sensing Su Wenyue’s wish for her to leave, Chen Li rose to say goodbye. She had actually been busy and made time just to drop by.
“`
“`
After seeing Chen Li out, Su Wenyue staggered and collapsed onto a chair. Her mind was in disarray. No matter how she tried to console herself, reminding herself that Han Yu was not that sort of man, Chen Li wouldn’t have come to her without reason. She had not asked Chen Li for the details, not because she had forgotten but because she wanted to wait for Han Yu to return and give her the answers himself.
“`
“`
“Madam, are you alright?”
“`
“`
Although Brother Xing had left with his younger brother and sister, he was still worried about his mother. He, therefore, asked Aunt Li to convey his concerns and to keep a careful watch over his mother. Before leaving, Chen Li had also instructed Aunt Li to take good care of Su Wenyue.
“`
“`
Thus, as soon as Chen Li was gone, Aunt Li came in straight away, her face etched with worry as she looked at Su Wenyue. Indeed, her persistent fears had materialized. Men were unreliable, she only hoped that the mistress would not be too severely affected.
“`
“`
“Aunt Li, do you think I should trust him? I really do want to trust him, but with these repeated incidents, I’m starting to waver! You think Han Yu couldn’t have betrayed me, right? He swore to me once, he said he would spend his whole life with me, with no other women, I believe him to be a man of his word, who won’t let me down,” Su Wenyue seemed to be asking Aunt Li but was actually talking to herself, not giving Aunt Li a chance to chime in. Her thoughts were too scattered as she sought to reassure herself and calm down to prevent herself from breaking down.
“`
“`
Now Su Wenyue realized how important Han Yu was to her. Even though she had once thought if Han Yu treated her poorly, she would just secure her position as the Mistress of the house and ignore everything else, able to live freely and comfortably like other women do. But once you invest your feelings, your perspective changes. Now, if Su Wenyue were to truly tolerate Han Yu having another woman, she couldn’t do it—she would rather spend her lifetime alone. True love does not tolerate betrayal.
“`
“`
“Madam…”
“`
“`
Su Wenyue gestured for Aunt Li to be silent, not wanting to hear any comforting words, “You may leave. I want to be alone for a while. Without my explicit instruction, no one is allowed to enter!”
“`
“`
General Han had been aware of Chen Li sending people to spy on him and had someone watch her in return. He had been notified immediately of any unusual movements from her. Moreover, he had warned Chen Li, trusting that she knew how to behave. He never expected this woman to be so daring, to actually go so far as to approach his wife—absurd!
“`
“`
General Han was furious. What Chen Li had seen was only the surface of the matter; she had no understanding of the truth. His wife was supremely jealous. She wouldn’t even allow other women to come too close to him on ordinary days. If she were to believe Chen Li’s nonsensical talk, there was no telling how angry she would get and what foolish things she might do. It was maddening that he was currently tied up with matters and unable to immediately rush back to explain to his wife.
