Become a stepmother and save the male protagonist of the painful literary school

Jane Yan put her hand on his shoulder.

I squatted down, met his eyes, and caught the hint of hurt that flashed across his eyes.

There was an indescribable bitterness in her heart. She thought that he was a man who could handle everything with ease and would not be hurt by what others said.

"Why do you think cheating is normal? As long as there is no love in the marriage, both parties are expected to cheat. What's the logic behind this?"

"If a person has his own marriage and family, and flirts with someone other than his partner and develops an extramarital affair, doesn't he feel ashamed? Doesn't he feel guilty? Doesn't he think it's immoral? Doesn't he think it's wrong?"

He stared at her, sad and angry.

Jian Yan was questioned by his words and was unable to refute. Although he was kneeling on the ground, his gaze made her feel fear and trembling.

Can't look him in the eyes.

Too sharp.

It was like she was dragged to the trial stand and he was the judge.

Somehow, I ended up with the word "cheating". I thought I had resolved it at the party, but it was brought up again.

After all, she was at a disadvantage in this matter.

Even if nothing actually happened, in the eyes of others she was having an affair.

So at this time, morality is at a low level.

She spoke softly, not to excuse herself, but simply to state the facts: "Everyone knows that cheating is wrong, but there are still thousands of people who find all kinds of excuses to do it, because few people can withstand the temptation."

Tong Ruixiao sneered, turned his head away from her, and then calmed down.

"A person who has an affair can find ten thousand reasons for himself, such as being unable to resist 'temptation' or 'seduction', but in fact it is just because he has moved his mind."

"If you don't want to, who can force you?"

Desires can be solved by oneself, and they do not mean death without others. Otherwise, what is the difference between humans and animals?

It is ridiculous that you have read so many books and dressed yourself up beautifully, but you can't even control your own behavior.

Jian Yan knew that he was accusing her, but what could she do?

Being caught on the spot, she couldn't explain whether it was true or false, so she just had to admit his accusation.

So, Jian Yan was silent for a while.

Accept what he said.

"It is because of what I think that I made such a choice. Making excuses is just to cover up right and wrong. Everyone is without exception. They appear decent on the surface but are filthy behind the scenes."

She changed the subject, "The circle around me is like this, and you who do business see even more. Some are lavish and extravagant, and there are countless more disgusting things."

"You should know that compared to these filthy things, having an affair is a normal thing."

The two of them were very close to each other, in the room filled with the smell of wine, and this was an angle from which he could kiss her if he stood up. Their breaths could brush against each other's, and the ambiguity was so dizzying.

But her words were as cold as an icy sword, cutting off all the ambiguity.

Tong Ruixiao was so angry that he was shaking. "Do you think this is normal? Comparing it to the dirtiest place in the world of decadence and extravagance is normal?"

As he spoke, he felt as if he were suffocating.

She lives in an abnormal environment and has never had a healthy relationship. Her family is made up of extramarital affairs and incest, which she is used to and believes exists as a matter of course.

But this is obviously too ridiculous!

Jian Yan subconsciously used his own thinking to refute: "I don't want to compare the bad, but this is the environment! Everyone is immoral, and you are the only one who is immoral, which seems out of place——"

When she reached this point, she suddenly realized something and her voice stopped abruptly.

His body froze as if struck by lightning.

With a blank expression, he recited the remaining half of the sentence: "If you want to be untainted by the mud, and want to be a noble lotus, you will only be stained darker in the end and become a laughing stock..."

The bullet that was fired during the argument with the original owner hit her right between the eyebrows.

She seemed to be really hit and was in so much pain that she couldn't react.

how come……

The original owner cursed me, and I responded to Tong Ruixiao unconsciously...

Because you have fallen into the quagmire and are unable to struggle out, you force others to submit to the status quo, face reality, and stop insisting on themselves.

Because they fail to see the necessity of moral integrity, they try to crush other people's principles with words.

How can this be?

When did I become like this?

My response to the original owner was: "The surroundings are rotten, do I have to rot to prove that I have adapted to the environment!"

So powerful and so unwavering.

But it was corroded unconsciously and became a part of decay...

I became the kind of person I hated the most.

"The rampant immorality around us is other people's business, not mine. For me, cheating is wrong."

“I always stick to what I believe is right and implement it consistently.”

Tong Ruixiao's words are steady and powerful.

"As you said, a pure white lotus can grow in mud, so why is it stained black?"

When he received no answer, he answered for her:

"It's because its heart has wavered and it can't stick to its original intention. As a result, it is bound to become a laughing stock."

Jian Yan suddenly came back to his senses after hearing this and stared at him intently. His face turned pale, as if the last piece of fig leaf had been lifted.

His words were clearly just an answer to her question, but Jian Yan felt that he could touch the soul of herself who had said "I won't adapt to a rotten environment."

There is excitement and resonance in my heart.

She lowered her eyes, her throat inexplicably blocked, "You're right, being stained black only means that your mind is not strong enough..."

"It was itself that wavered. Who can it blame for becoming a laughing stock?"

Jian Yan took a deep breath and calmed himself down, "Most people choose this, but it doesn't change the fact that it's incorrect."

Tong Ruixiao insisted on going against immoral behavior in an era when extramarital affairs were not uncommon, just as she firmly believed in fairness and justice in this dirty and rotten world.

Out of place, but not wrong.

Marriage requires both parties to be faithful to each other and not to cheat on each other. This is a legal requirement. As long as you get a marriage certificate, you are bound by the law and moral norms.

Extramarital affairs are wrong both emotionally and legally. Even if it is a marriage of convenience, doing so is immoral.

It was just that there were too many people doing it, and she had gotten used to it and thought it was no big deal. After his words enlightened her, she realized that some people still thought it was an important matter.

In this case, whether you support it or not, it should be respected.

Jian Yan respects Tong Ruixiao's point of view.

She looked at him seriously, her tone calm, yet inexplicably convincing:

"I respect your rejection of the idea that 'both parties in a marriage of convenience have their own affairs', and I have reached a consensus with you tonight. I will not embarrass you again during the continuation of this marriage."

"You can rest assured."

After this quarrel, she completely gave up her romantic thoughts.

The heavy emotions weighed on my heart, like a thick blanket covering me. Although the aroma of wine still lingered around my nose, the light and indulgent feeling could no longer rise.
