The Useless Stepmom Brings Her Kids to Reality TV Shows to Photograph Them

Chapter 436: Li Yanchen Is Indeed An Extraordinary Person

“What do you think, Wanwan? Shouldn’t we arrange to meet this despicable person and give him a good beating?” Fang Ru asked.

This is a civilized world, and resorting to violence was definitely not right.

Lin Wan pursed her lips. “If you physically attack him, he might end up accusing you of intentional harm, and then the truth will be twisted.”

“You’re right, Wanwan. You’re more rational than us. So, do you have any good ideas? Something that follows the rules but still teaches that person a lesson?” Mrs. Zhou asked.

Lin Wan didn’t have a foolproof solution for such a tricky problem.

She rubbed her hands together. “Block this friend first. There’s no need to say anything. Then, when Mr. Zhou comes back, have a serious talk with him. Ask him what he means by all this. Is this just a fling, or does he genuinely like someone else? If he’s sincere about it… Well, if I were in your place, I would choose to divorce. I can’t spend the rest of my life with someone who doesn’t love me.”

“Of course, it also depends on what you choose or how much you can tolerate,” Mrs. Han said.

“It depends on what you want, whether it’s money or affection. I remember you mentioned that you signed a prenuptial agreement with Mr. Zhou, so you won’t get any of his assets if you divorce him.” At Royal Water Bay, Fang Ru and Mrs. Zhou had the best relationship. They often talked about private matters with each other.

“I used to laugh at others. I thought it was ridiculous for a wife to ask for a divorce when her husband gave her a monthly allowance of 200,000 yuan, even if he didn’t come home or paid attention to her. When it’s happening to me, I realize how much it hurts. I used to think that if my husband gives me 200,000 yuan every month, then I don’t really care what he does. I just hope he doesn’t come back.” Mrs. Zhou laughed bitterly.

Lin Wan was familiar with this kind of talk. She thought about it and realized that Yang Ruoxi had also mentioned something similar.

Back when she and Yang Ruoxi were still office workers, they received 200,000 yuan each month. They didn’t need a man. They were happy.

“Meimei, you’re better off than me. My husband seems pretty honest, but he controls the finances very strictly. He’s one step away from assigning me a personal accountant for every penny spent.” Mrs. Han looked sad.

Lin Wan had assumed that these wealthy wives never lacked money, but it seemed that they didn’t have as much freedom with money as she thought. Their husbands controlled the finances. But was Li Yanchen always telling her to spend money?

Indeed, Li Yanchen was very strange.

Of course, Lin Wan didn’t mention this aloud. She was afraid that Mrs. Han and Mrs. Zhou would think she was showing off.

“Do you know why he gives me 200,000 yuan per month, and I’m still not content? For example, if Mr. Zhou earns 5 million yuan per month, then I get just a tiny fraction of it. Even if I can’t get a share after divorce, I will make sure I at least get an eight-digit sum once he’s gone bankrupt,” Mrs. Zhou said.

“Greed, to put it plainly, it’s greed. My family deals with agricultural products, and our family income is only as much as your allowance. Mr. Han deposits 200,000 yuan into my account every month, and I can’t even use it the way I want.” Fang Ru admitted she hadn’t achieved financial freedom yet.

Mrs. Zhou pouted. “So… are you saying I should just accept my fate and stay put?”

“You have to make the decision yourself. Wanwan and I are just here to support you. It’s different when things happen to you in real life. We can only give you hypothetical advice because we haven’t gone through what you are going through. I don’t think I would be as composed if I were in that situation.” Mrs. Han clasped her hands in front of her. “Why don’t we follow Lin Wan’s lead and start a career?”

“Look at Dou Qing. This year, she opened a salon. Although she doesn’t earn as much as her husband, she still makes her own money and doesn’t have to depend on anyone. Her salon only cost 2 million yuan to start,” said Mrs. Han. “Look at Lin Wan too. Her husband adores her, and I think he loves her even more because she is independent and excellent in every aspect.”

Lin Wan blushed. She agreed with Mrs. Han.

“Well… I just have a small job and can’t really compare to Mr. Li in terms of my earnings. But having a source of income and spending your own money does give me a sense of accomplishment,” said Lin Wan.

Mrs. Zhou wanted to badmouth her husband for cheating on her with her best friend. But unexpectedly, this meeting turned into a discussion about starting a business.

She even started calculating her savings and thinking about what kind of business would be good for her. In the end, she decided to open a flower shop opposite her best friend’s store, so she could annoy her every day.

Mrs. Han enthusiastically supported the idea. She thought it was brilliant. If her best friend had a flower shop, it was absolutely brilliant for Mrs. Zhou to open a flower shop near her and steal her thunder as revenge.

Lin Wan felt awkward. Wasn’t this discussion about earning one’s own money and becoming self-reliant? When had it turned into a plot for revenge?

“If you want to do something, do it for yourself first. Other people are insignificant. I support Mrs. Zhou. You used to work in finance, right?” Lin Wan asked.

“Wanwan, you even remember? I mentioned it just once in the group chat. Before I got married, I worked in finance for five years. To be precise, the year I resigned, I had become the manager. Although my salary was not as much as my current allowance, it was wonderful. I worked with many colleagues every day, and my boss appreciated my work. I felt independent and valuable.” Mrs. Zhou recounted her previous work experience with a gleam in her eyes.

“You really loved working, didn’t you? Whenever you talk about work, you smile so happily,” said Lin Wan.

‘Yes! Thank you both. I know what to do now. I’ll come up with a plan. By the way, I know a few wives in our community who are quite unhappy. I’ll create a small group and add them in. Wanwan and Fang Ru, you can be our advisers,” said Mrs. Zhou.

She had already created the group and was ready to get to work.

Lin Wan was pulled into a small group chat with the name “Sisters Awakening. ”

The group description read: “When men go out to cheat, we use their money to pursue our own careers.”

Lin Wan was about to leave the group. Her finger hovered over the button, but Mrs. Zhou noticed it. “Wanwan, don’t leave. Just wait for a while till the group takes off, then you can leave if you want.”

Lin Wan looked at the list of people in the group and recognized a few of them. They were all experiencing difficulties in their family lives. In this group, would they all end up discussing their miserable lives?

“Send a message first to tell them that you and Fang Ru are just here to provide friendly assistance. We can’t all be resentful wives. There should be at least two positive examples,” Mrs. Zhou said.

Fang Ru sighed. “Will we have to deal with a lot of negativity every day?”

“Not really. The purpose of this group is for everyone to abandon negativity and proactively claim themselves and make a career in their lives. It is for taking control of their own lives.”

“Alright,” Fang Ru said.

That afternoon, Mrs. Zhou pleaded with Lin Wan and Fang Ru to accompany her to rent a place opposite the flower shop. Unexpectedly, an accident occurred before they could finalize the rental..
