"Later, the matter of the bride price was never brought up again. Moreover, when they got married, they lived in a bare shell of a house. It wasn't until the child was born that the house was renovated. The money for the renovation was borrowed by my sister from her father. She never mentioned returning the money afterward."
"Some time ago, he somehow struck it rich, and his company expanded several times over. He also had more young women around him, so he became distant towards my sister. Disregarding her efforts over the years, he got involved with a mistress and then turned his back on her, asking my sister for a divorce. He didn't want any of the children."
Xie Shanshan said indignantly, looking at Liang Tian beside her with pity. "It's a pity that after the divorce, my sister only had a few tens of thousands of yuan in her hands, with two children and no job. She had to work part-time. Fortunately, now that we do live streaming, we're already earning money."
Liang Tian patted Xie Shanshan's hand, still smiling gently. "It's all in the past."
There were some secrets that Xie Shanshan did not know.
The fortune that had made her ex-husband's company prosper was obtained through selling herself. This was because her ex-husband's company was on the verge of collapse, and he was constantly borrowing money. Later, he somehow met Shao Lin and agreed to let his wife sleep with Wang Yan.
Initially, she had refused outright. However, after her ex-husband's persistent persuasion, and considering the future of her daughter and unborn son, she decided to sacrifice her dignity, thinking it was for her family.
But she hadn't anticipated what happened next.
When she first received the money, her ex-husband was extremely attentive to her, which greatly reduced her sense of guilt.
However, soon after, her ex-husband invested the money into the company, earning even more, even becoming a major shareholder and chairman. Then, he started staying out all night.
Finally, he cheated and demanded a divorce with nothing.
Otherwise, he would expose that shameful incident to the world, making it impossible for Liang Tian to hold her head up for the rest of her life, living under the cold eyes of others.
Therefore, Liang Tian had no choice but to be kicked out of the house.
With two children.
"Yes, people have to look forward. Sister Liang Tian will definitely meet someone better in the future."
Su Ding said kindly.
Xie Shanshan quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, sister, you are so beautiful. As long as you dress up, there will definitely be someone better waiting for you."
Liang Tian had become much more weathered due to the recent changes in her life.
She was only three to five years older than Su Ding, but now, visually, she looked like she was ten years older.
"Sigh, let's not talk about me. My only hope in this life is to raise my two children."
Liang Tian sighed and smiled bitterly.
Seeing that Liang Tian did not want to talk about it much, Su Ding changed the subject.
The three of them chatted for over half an hour before Xie Shanshan and Liang Tian got up to leave. Su Ding saw them off.
"Xiao Xu, once I become famous, I'll promote you more, and may your business prosper!" Xie Shanshan said with a smile.
"Then I'll be looking forward to that day,"
Su Ding said with a smile. Watching them gradually walk away, she turned back into the shop.
Experiencing the twists and turns of others' lives firsthand gave her an inexpressible feeling. People were always changing and constantly growing. Xie Shanshan was like that, and so was she.
Entering the shop, Su Ding greeted Xiao Ai and was about to return to her office.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoya walked out of the bathroom. Her nose was a little red, and she looked like she had been crying.
"What's wrong, Xiaoya?"
"Shop... Shop manager..."
Upon seeing Su Ding, Zhang Xiaoya instinctively lowered her head and wiped away the corners of her eyes.
Seeing this, Su Ding couldn't help but say, "What happened? Is something not going well at work?"
The young girl had just been hired by her today. She didn't want her first day to be a miserable one, and she didn't want to be a capitalist who disregarded her employees' feelings.
