My life is ending, and my aloof CEO wife is taking revenge on me.

Chapter 118 The Belated Truth

Perhaps because of our encounter at the stadium entrance, Song Yafei was afraid I would misunderstand, so she quickly called me.

I was in my room preparing the things I needed for painting when I answered her call. I put my phone aside and put it on speakerphone.

Song Yafei's voice came through the phone very quickly; she told me.

"Zhang Tian, ​​I've already asked Yu Chengliang to withdraw from the competition. Don't worry, he won't bother you anymore."

"And I also want to tell you that I didn't arrange for him to participate in the competition; it was my mother."

I already know, but I don't know what his original intention was. But right now, I don't have much time to be distracted, so I just replied, "I know."

Then he hung up the phone.

Once the matter was resolved, I was able to focus on my painting.

After the competition, I packed up my painting and left the competition venue with all the other participants.

I originally planned to go back with Jiang Yi, but he seemed to have some things to take care of, so I went back to the farmhouse alone.

Perhaps I returned too early, because the people at the agritainment business didn't notice me.

Instead, I unintentionally overheard the truth that had been lingering for years.

I had just returned to the farmhouse and was about to turn the corner when I heard a sound coming from Song Yafei's room.

Her door was open, and I could hear sounds coming from inside. I stopped in my tracks.

I never expected that it was Song's mother arguing with Song Yafei.

Song Ma seemed very dissatisfied with Song Yafei's recent performance, and she was heard criticizing Song Yafei.

"Have you been fooling around enough? You're actually abandoning the company for a man?"

"Are you going to hand over the entire Song family to someone else? How can you face all the years of training and support I've given you?"

Song Yafei was furious and retorted without any politeness.

"Cultivation? Is your so-called cultivation just about suppressing me repeatedly and negating everything I have?"

I remembered some things Song had told me before.

I remember she said that Song Ma was a very controlling person, not only towards her, but also towards her father and the Song family.

It was alright when her father was around; at least he didn't focus all his attention on her.

Now that her father has passed away, Song Ma can only control her.

When we first started dating, I felt very sorry for her misfortune.

But having never seen Song Ma's true colors before, seeing them now is truly disheartening.

I remember Song Yafei saying that her mother and father had a business marriage and no feelings for each other; they were just acquaintances.

She was born shortly after their marriage, but her father still had a mistress outside the marriage.

Perhaps that's why her father didn't like her and her mother very much.

From a young age, she wanted to do what she wanted, but she was never allowed to.

I remember that she originally wanted to study fine arts, but Song Ma changed her major without her consent and she applied for financial management.

This led to the current image of the cold and domineering female CEO, Song Yafei.

Song's mother was very dissatisfied with Song Yafei's resistance. Her tone was full of disdain and even sarcasm towards her daughter.

"Now you're denying it? If I hadn't nurtured you back then, would you be where you are today? How could a woman like you control the entire Song Group?"

"Can you honestly say you could have done it without me?"

Song Yafei sneered repeatedly, "Mom, are you sure it's because of you that I got this training position?"

"If it weren't for the help of others back then, would the Song family have been able to rise again? Are you still going to hide it from me?"

A slight tremor passed through Song Ma's voice, "You already knew?"

Song Yafei found out, so naturally she knew.

What puzzled me was that Song Ma also knew about this, and from what she said, it seemed that she had known about it before.

Perhaps she knew it all along.

She's such a good actress.

After all these years, knowing the truth of what happened back then, she can still be so harsh on me. It's really hard on her!

Perhaps Song Yafei had been enduring this for a long time, and now she was no longer willing to endure it.

"I investigated what happened back then but couldn't find any results. Could it have been you who did it too?"

"Are you happy to just stand by and watch me misunderstand Zhang Tian, ​​making us suffer all these years?"

"You even put Yu Chengliang next to me, what are you thinking? Are you really my mother?"

My jaw dropped again.

I never expected that Yu Chengliang was arranged by Song Ma. Then why did you ask me to drive Yu Chengliang away in the first place?

Is it that Yu Chengliang has slipped out of control, or does he think I'm easier to control?

As a mother, her actions are truly baffling.

What was her purpose in doing this?

Isn't her daughter's happiness what she wants to see?

Over the years, so many things have happened, and she just watched helplessly as Song Yafei and I misunderstood each other.

How could it be so hard to understand?

Having been suppressed for too long, Song Yafei angrily berated her mother.

"What did I do wrong? Just because your marriage with Father wasn't ideal, does that mean I shouldn't be happy either?"

The father seemed to be a taboo topic between the mother and daughter, and they rarely mentioned him before.

When Song's father was mentioned, Song's mother seemed to break down emotionally and became hysterical.

"What did I do wrong? You are my daughter, I arranged everything for you, what did I do wrong?"

"The most unreliable things in this world are feelings and men. I was just shielding you from these things. Was I wrong?"

“That’s right, Zhang Tian is a very family-oriented person and is willing to take care of you, but you shouldn’t put all your attention on him.”

"That will only wear down your will. If you want to take control of the Song family, you can only put all your emotions into your career."

What an absurd fallacy!

When I married Song Yafei, Song's mother wasn't particularly happy, but she didn't object either.

If she didn't want to, she could have completely prevented the marriage from happening.

She was the cause of this tragic marriage. The happiness we had hoped for after marriage was destined to end sadly from the start.

Even now, though I've decided to leave, seeing the girl I once loved in such misfortune still makes my heart ache uncontrollably.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that Song Ma was the one manipulating everything behind the scenes; what she wanted was never what her daughter wanted.

Her actions harmed her daughter, harmed me, and caused unhappiness in our marriages.

Song Ma was still defending her fallacies, claiming that she was the victim.

I can't listen anymore, otherwise I don't know what I would do.

I couldn't go back to my room, so I turned and walked out.

Then I heard voices chasing after them, but none of that mattered anymore.
