Chapter 2:
Young people always have bad memory.
I quickly forgot that incident and continued to pester Zhou Ke Bai.
For him, I even started studying hard and enrolled in the same university as him.
My dad was thrilled and doubled my living allowance.
Zhou Ke Bai became even busier in university.
He couldn't secure a scholarship and his classmates with connections took away the poverty subsidy.
During the worst times, he could only afford to buy a steamed bun from the cafeteria and rely on free soup to fill his hunger.
I couldn't bear to watch and offered to support him, but he rejected me.
He worked three jobs a day and eventually even fainted on the road from exhaustion.
Unable to tolerate it any longer, I held onto him and insisted on giving him money.
"Zhou Ke Bai, why don't you want my money? What are you working so hard for?!" I went to find his class teacher and forcibly paid his tuition.
At that time, I understood a little and knew I had to take care of his self-esteem.
So during meals, I always pulled him along and said I couldn't finish the food, asking him to eat with me.
When we went out to play, I always said I had free vouchers and dragged him along.
Slowly, it seemed that my relationship with Zhou Ke Bai was getting closer.
I sponsored him until he graduated and, in order to make him happy, I even sponsored the childhood friend he grew up with, Xiao Qingmei.
After graduation, Zhou Ke Bai started his own business.
His performance had always been excellent, and he had already developed a game software with his friends during school.
However, he faced continuous setbacks and couldn't secure any investments.
Unable to bear seeing him so discouraged, I ended up asking my father to invest in him.
I remember that night, Zhou Ke Bai remained silent.
I leaned on his shoulder, almost falling asleep, when he suddenly spoke, "Shen Nanzhi, why are you doing this?" At that time, I thought he was asking why I was treating him so well, so I casually responded, "Because I like you." "Zhou Ke Bai, do you like me?" I grabbed his arm and acted spoiled, saying, "I'm treating you so well, and you're still not with me.
You're heartless!" At that time, I was just joking.
But Zhou Ke Bai didn't say anything, so I thought he had tacitly agreed.
That's how we ended up together.
Two years later, Zhou Keibai and I got married.
The wedding was done hastily.
Zhou Keibai said he didn't like too many people, so we only invited a few tables of close relatives and friends.
They were all my relatives and friends.
On his side, there was only him.
After marriage, Zhou Keibai remained indifferent to me.
At that time, I was really foolish.
I thought he was just that kind of person, and as long as I continued to treat him well, even a stone-hearted person would melt for me.
But I didn't expect that he really couldn't melt.
Because his heart, from the beginning to the end, was always with someone else.
In the third year of our marriage, the conflicts between us could no longer be reconciled.
I couldn't stand his indifference day after day.
I questioned him if he liked that girl from his past.
He just looked at me coldly, without saying a word.
When I pushed him to the limit, he simply slammed the door and left.
His cold violence pushed me to become more paranoid and crazy.
When he returned, I would interrogate him, scold him, and the most intense argument led me to say things without filter, "If I had known you were such a heartless person, I would rather have raised a dog, at least it would wag its tail at me!" There was a momentary grimness in his expression, and then he quickly calmed down.
Since that day, he never came home again.
Later, I found out that he had already been with that girl from his past.
They had a new home outside, and even...
they had a child.
In those years, he had a complete and happy family outside.
And I was left alone in the lonely house, with all the love turning into venomous hatred.
Zhou Keibai succeeded in his business, and he became richer than my father.
I had nothing to take revenge on him.
The only thing I had was my marriage.
I bet my whole life on revenge.
I would rather die than divorce him, no matter how much money he offers me.
He ruined me, and I won't let him off easily.
The woman he loves will always be the unacknowledged third party.
The son he has with someone else will always be an illegitimate child in the gutter.
Zhou Keibai also dared not sue me, he feared that our marital dispute would affect the company's stock price, and other directors would not agree.
In this way, he and I dragged on for ten years.
No matter how hysterical and crazy I became, and even when I begged him, he never softened.
He never came back to see me.
I gradually grew thinner in the despair of everyday life, and suffered from a serious illness.
In the end, I died in despair.
