Chapter 776: A Man’s Dignity Is Just Self-Righteousness

“Heh…” Xia Ning sneered suddenly. “Most selfish people would think the same way.”

She had investigated what happened back then and roughly knew what was going on. Plus what he said today, everything was connected.

Shen Yuanqi closed his eyes and did not refute.

Xia Ning looked at the plants in the garden that had turned green after the winter. She said suddenly, “Do you think a woman’s youth is like these plants? They can recover in the second year and then grow lushly? No! They will wither! And the feelings they give are not like the passing of time. Those feelings will slowly settle down and accumulate. Sometimes, leaving is not because they don’t love each other but because they love each other too much.”

It was a little strange for a junior like her to say these things to Shen Yuanqi. But when she thought about what happened to her grandmother back then, her heart started to feel unfair again. It was obviously his fault, but he made himself sound so innocent.

Shen Yuanqi turned around to look at Xia Ning with shock in his cloudy eyes.

Xia Ning met his eyes and said calmly, “A man’s so-called dignity is just self-righteousness. They are naive in thinking that a woman can’t live without them. So no matter how many mistakes they make, they can be forgiven. And the women are abominable if they are suspicious of betraying their family. Since a man can’t tolerate a woman’s betrayal, why does a woman have to tolerate a man’s betrayal?! You blame my grandmother for having an ambiguous relationship with someone else. Did you reflect on yourself? While you’re having fun with your secretary and partying with your female confidantes, my grandmother sat at home and took care of the house. You’re praising the beauty in your arms, but have you once thought that your wife has been eroded by the years. If a woman becomes old, that is because her man has never cared for her.

So even if my grandma likes someone else, is it wrong? You betrayed her first, what right do you have to restrict her?! Leaving was the best choice. Although she lost her wealth and glory, she protected her own dignity.”

Shen Yuanqi looked at Xia Ning. When had he ever been criticized like this? He instinctively wanted to refute and tell her that he loved Yunning. But at this moment, he realized all the reasons were feeble. Yes, he let Yunning down first.

He had been married to Yunning for more than ten years. He did not know what she liked at all. It seemed like she did not hate anything. He blamed Yunning for not loving him enough, but how much did he love her?!

Moreover, it was indeed him who let her down first. He thought that Yun Ning could not leave him and would come back one day. But who would have thought that she would be so determined and leave completely? She would never send him any news of her again.

In fact, if he had the heart to investigate, he would have been able to find her whereabouts. But for the sake of a man’s face and dignity, he missed her once again. With a beauty in his arms, with all the riches in his hands, without Xia Yunning as his wife, there were millions of women who wanted to marry him.

So he deserved to lose her.

“I’m the one who let your grandma down. She must hate me very much,” Shen Yuanqi said in a low voice, his voice filled with endless pain.

Xia Ning looked at Shen Yuanqi and sneered. “Now you know how to feel guilty. But what were you doing back then? She was married to you for more than ten years and you let her leave with the clothes on her back. Do you know that she was pregnant with my mom back then? And that year when my mom came to S City to find you, why didn’t you acknowledge her? When she lost too much blood and died on the operating table, what were you doing as a father?”
