Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 993 - 992: Indifference

After listening to Xu Ke’s words, Tangtang not only didn’t let go of her own views, but instead grew even more disgusted with Xu Ke, thinking that she was blind before to have considered Xu Ke a good person.

Xu Ke is not a good person at all; he is an utter hypocrite.

And he talks about not regretting it, claiming it’s for their own good—it’s truly ridiculous.

This is simply the funniest joke in the world. It’s clear he wants to enjoy the best of both worlds, and now he’s coming up with this theory. How did she not realize earlier that Xu Ke is so shameless?

Tangtang’s face turned dark, and she silently watched Xu Ke, her eyes as dark as black holes in the universe.

Xu Ke could sense the change in Tangtang’s attitude toward him, but he could understand her perspective.

Although today’s society emphasizes gender equality, in some respects, the status of men and women is unequal, such as in relationships between the sexes.

If a man sleeps with a woman, there is no blame, but if a woman sleeps with a man, people throw contemptuous looks at her, which might even affect her future marriage or life, yet these consequences don’t befall a man.

The world does not demand a man to keep his chastity, but it requires a woman to maintain her purity from start to finish.

Some men, during courtship, will ask for a deeper relationship, and if the woman disagrees, they use morality to pressure her and emotions to manipulate her.

If the woman agrees, they may think she’s easily deceived and worthless, and if they break up, this might become a reason for attack, and when they marry, they demand their wife to be pure.

If it is discovered she is not, even if they say nothing, it will make them very uncomfortable, like a thorn deeply embedded in them.

So are social statuses truly equal for men and women? They’re not.

If a woman walking on the street is assaulted by a stranger, many people blame the woman, saying she is indiscreet, lacks self-respect, or criticizes her style of dress.

Rarely would anyone blame the man, even if he is caught and jailed for it.

But when he is released, he can continue living in society as if nothing happened, while the woman has to endure the judgmental glances of society.

So he can understand how unacceptable this was for Tangtang and Guoguo. He is willing to give them time to think it over.

Whether they choose to stay with him or take the money he offers and start a new life, Xu Ke will respect their choice.

Because the world is truly tough for women, full of hidden clauses and unspoken rules, whenever Xu Ke can help, he doesn’t refuse.

Moreover, Tangtang and Guoguo are not strangers. After living together for so long, even if they can’t accept him or even hate him, they’ll always be like sisters to Xu Ke.

If there’s a day when they need his help, Xu Ke won’t stand by idly.

Tangtang looked at Xu Ke with his affectionate gaze, feeling her stomach churn. She didn’t care what Xu Ke was thinking at that moment; she only knew that Xu Ke was a sanctimonious villain, unworthy of her respect or affection.

"I’m not feeling well; I want to return to my room to rest. You can eat the food yourself." Tangtang said lightly, then turned and left.

Watching her leave, Xu Ke let out a long sigh.

In the room, Guoguo’s eyes were swollen from crying. Hearing the door open, she thought Xu Ke had come in, and her whole body tensed up.

But when she turned and saw it was her sister, she relaxed again.

"Why are you crying like this?" Tangtang walked over to Guoguo and reached out to wipe the tears from her eyes.

"I just feel so unwilling, unwilling that we met someone like this. Why is our fate so bitter? We thought he was a good person, but he turned out to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing. We even felt so grateful to him." Guoguo said, wiping away her tears, and threw herself into Tangtang’s arms, speaking through gritted teeth.

Tangtang had managed to control her emotions, but hearing Guoguo speak, she couldn’t hold back anymore and tears flowed from her eyes, startling Guoguo.

"Sis, why are you crying too?" Guoguo asked in a panic, looking at Tangtang.

"I feel that this is all my fault. It’s my attitude that affected you. If I hadn’t told you how nice he was or given you these ideas, you wouldn’t be so sad now." Tangtang said to Guoguo with guilt.

"How could it be your fault? After all, you can know a person but not their heart. He behaved so well in front of us before. It’s normal that you couldn’t see through him. Not only you, but I also couldn’t see him for what he was. If we take your reasoning, then I am at fault too for falling in love with him. If I hadn’t loved him, we wouldn’t have talked about it everyday. Without those conversations, we wouldn’t have confessed. Without confessing, none of this would have happened." Saying this, Guoguo’s tears once again flowed uncontrollably.

Her sadness was not just because she lost her virginity, although that was part of it, but not the main reason.

She was mainly sad because she felt betrayed, deceived of her feelings and harmed her body.

Guoguo thought that the day she and Xu Ke left was their Heaven, but it turned out they just ran from one Hell into another.

Xu Ke’s actions while they trusted him wholeheartedly were like a slap in the face, a stab to the heart.

Tangtang and Guoguo couldn’t bear Xu Ke’s behavior. They hated being deceived in love most of all.

Having never experienced parental love, they cherished others’ feelings profoundly, with a demand for purity in feelings without the slightest impurity. Yet their first love was for this scumbag.

Is the sky mocking them? Did something done wrong in a past life lead heaven to punish them like this in this one?

They’re doomed never to receive love, and even if they love someone, it’s always the wrong person.
