Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Novel - Chapter 1517

Chapter 1517: This Couldn’t Be Tolerated

As such, after the company was brought to a new level, not only did Xu Shengnan’s salary become higher, but Gao Yan, as a good boss, would also give a veteran like her a fat bonus at the end of the year.

Within a few years, Xu Shengnan paid off the mortgage on the house she bought. After all, Xu Shengnan had bought a house much earlier. In the capital, the house prices a few years before and a few years later had a huge difference.

That year, Xu Shengnan listened to Qiao Nan’s advice. Once she had money, she bought a house in the capital. As she had done so earlier than others and had started working a few years earlier, Xu Shengnan had paid off the mortgage for that house.

The man Xu Shengnan got married to had an account in the capital as he had a small house there. Strictly speaking, they weren’t from the capital. It was just that his parents moved to the capital to work earlier. With this house, the whole family became people from the capital.

After the two talked about it, the man’s mother knew that Xu Shengnan had a good job and a high salary. She was quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law. After all, she had graduated from Peking University. It was a university that was much better than the one her son attended. With such a daughter-in-law, she would have more face outside if she talked about her.

It was just that after that, this future mother-in-law expressed that it wasn’t a big deal for Xu Shengnan to stay in the small house after she got married to her son. However, if Xu Shengnan gave birth to a child, then that house would definitely be smaller.

As such, she wanted to sell the small house in her hands and use this amount of money to make the down payment for a bigger house. As for the future mortgage, she was already old and couldn’t do much work. She could only rely on her son and Xu Shengnan to slowly repay the mortgage.

After all, this had to do with Xu Shengnan. Her future mother-in-law explained the situation and asked Xu Shengnan if she was agreeable. If she was, they would proceed as planned.

Xu Shengnan felt that her mother-in-law’s words made sense. Her man’s house was smaller than the one her parents lived in. It would definitely be cramped for everyone if she raised a child after marriage in this small house.

Qiao Nan knew about this matter and mentioned it at this time.

“Qiao Nan, why are you mentioning this at this time?” There were all kinds of people in the capital. Actually, Xu Shengnan knew about this. It was just that she was sad. Xu Shengnan hadn’t thought if a divorce would be good for the children. Should she give her man a chance to turn over a new leaf again?

“Qiao Nan, tell me. Should I have another chat with my husband?” Perhaps, there was still room for negotiation.

Qiao Nan laughed coldly. “Don’t tell me you haven’t tried communicating with your husband and inexplicably ran over to my house with red eyes. Your husband really has nothing to do with you crying today? You want to give him a chance to turn over a new leaf, but I’m worried that he doesn’t want to and even finds this to be pretty good. He has you to pay off the mortgage and you and your mother-in-law to take care of your daughter. He has been a pretty successful head of the family. If he finds himself to be working hard, he’ll find a lover to comfort himself. It’s not wrong.”

“It… it can’t be, right?” Xu Shengnan’s face turned pale. She really didn’t think about the problem of her willing to give her husband a chance but he wasn’t willing to change. “Indeed, something had happened today. I feel that I must have been too fierce and anxious when I was asking him then. He should be feeling quite panicky that I had found out. Sometimes, when people do something wrong, they would become fiercer because of their guilty conscience. He didn’t do this deliberately, did he?” Toward the end, Xu Shengnan wasn’t sure herself as well.

“I… Actually, I’ve long felt that something was wrong. It wasn’t his first day going to work. He had worked for so many years but started to attend entertainment activities only this year. However, I didn’t hear that there was any movement from his company, so he shouldn’t be like this. Most importantly, every time he returned home to change his clothes, he would always smell of some other woman’s perfume and even had a lipstick mark. I asked him what was going on. He answered me for the first time that there was a female colleague who got drunk at the event and accidentally printed a mark on him…”

Xu Shengnan cried and tried to recall her memories. As such, her words were intermittent and incoherent.

Thankfully, Qiao Nan had good logic skills. Even if Xu Shengnan’s words were messy, she understood them. Qiao Nan placed a packet of tissue in front of Xu Shengnan for her to wipe her tears.

“I was curious as well and thought why he had so many activities. Thus, I went to ask around. But his colleagues told me that there wasn’t such a thing at all.” When Xu Shengnan received this answer, she was dealt a huge blow. She already had a lot of work in the company and was very busy.

Who knew that the person she was most intimate with would deal her such a blow?

Telling lies, coming home late, the perfume smell, the lipstick mark, and a bunch of unexplainable expenses—these told Xu Shengnan that there was something wrong with her man, and it was possible he had another woman outside.

Xu Shengnan couldn’t help but question her husband today. In the end, she didn’t receive an explanation but an accusation instead. “How often do you spend time in the office in a year? Without me asking, you should know the answer, right? You have always been working overtime. Who are you trying to lie to? How many men are there in your office? You have spent so little time at home, yet do you see me doubting you? Are you sure you are clean?”

“…” Hearing Xu Shengnan’s husband’s rebuttal, Qiao Nan twitched her lips. “Senior Xu, are you here at my house today purely to complain to me, or do you want me to try and provide a solution? If it’s the former, Senior Xu, I’m sorry but if you can’t make a decision or it’s a decision that I can’t accept, I don’t like to listen to this. If it’s the latter, I’m very willing to share with you my thoughts and suggestions.”

It was better to dismantle ten temples than to destroy a marriage.

Sorry, but it was the other way around here. In the face of such situations, she would always persuade people to separate instead of staying together!

“…” Xu Shengnan hesitated for a while. The purpose of her here today was actually for the former. However, after seeing Qiao Nan’s face, Xu Shengnan couldn’t say these words out. After marriage, every couple would face some stumbling blocks. Who would get a divorce after a small conflict? Was it really that serious?

Qiao Nan touched Xu Shengnan’s forehead. “Do you know that my temper is already restrained with this action? If it wasn’t the first time I saw you crying so pitifully, this ‘touch’ would have been more forceful. Take it as I have OCD toward relationships.”
