Ma Yuan sighed, "Jingjing, you and your family are really foolish!"
"Do you know what I saw that day?"
"I saw your parents welcoming guests with smiles on their faces, but secretly wiping away their tears."
"You say that Uncle and Aunt have seen the world, yet if they can cry like that, it shows just how reluctant they are to let you get married."
"But your family comes from a scholarly background, so Uncle and Aunt can only swallow their grievances. No matter how painful it is inside, they can only face everyone with a smile."
Ma Yuan said with red-rimmed eyes, "Jingjing, I really couldn't hold back that day. I thought such a wonderful girl shouldn't be wasted on Zhang Heng!"
"So I told myself that as long as you know how to protect yourself, I will do everything I can to help you."
I was moved and hugged Ma Yuan tightly. "Ma Yuan!"
She patted my back like she was comforting a child. "Jingjing, don't cry. You still have me in the future."
The car drove into the community and came to a stop.
Ma Yuan and my brother-in-law helped me out of the car, reminding me to get a good night's sleep and not to overthink things.
The couple watched me walk into the building before driving away.
I leaned against the elevator wall, tears streaming down my face.
Without Ma Yuan, my life might have been ruined by Zhang Heng's deceit.
I would have spent my life being ground down by my family.
But now things were different.
Since Zhang Heng doesn't love me, I have decided to get a divorce.
I want to leave this family filled with selfishness and a preference for sons!
Since they all think I'm an easy target, let them see whether I truly am one!
Early the next morning, Sister Ma Yuan called me and invited me to spend the New Year at her home.
I gladly accepted.
This year's New Year's Eve was spent at Sister Ma Yuan and her husband's place.
We enjoyed hot pot together, opened champagne, and counted down to the new year.
Sister Ma Yuan even wished me health and happiness in the coming year.
I felt as if I had been reborn.
I am grateful to the heavens for bringing Sister Ma Yuan into my life.
My divorce from Zhang Heng was delayed until the first day back at work after the holiday.
During this time, Zhang Heng repeatedly begged for my forgiveness and even suggested we hold a wedding again.
But I completely ignored him.
Before the divorce, Zhang Heng wanted me to return the betrothal gifts and dowry.
However, my parents had already sent those items back to him long ago.
After the divorce, Zhang Heng's mother complained every day about not having a well-behaved daughter-in-law in the house.
But all of this is their own doing.
Because Zhang Heng has already lost a good wife like me.
Sister Ma Yuan told me that they have had enough of the Zhang Family's eccentricities and are now going on vacation to clear their minds.
I am grateful to have such a wonderful sister.
As I walked out of the Zhang Family's gate, the cold wind howled past, but it could not disperse the anger and sense of relief within me.
Zhang Heng was still calling my name from behind, trying to hold me back, but his voice sounded so pale and powerless at that moment.
The next morning, sunlight flooded the windowsill as I sat at Sister Ma Yuan's dining table, feeling a long-lost sense of ease for the first time.
At that moment, the phone rang; it was a colleague from work, informing me that an important project was looking for a leader.
After hanging up, I looked up at Sister Ma Yuan and my brother-in-law, a smile spreading across my face: "Thank you for helping me realize that a woman can live well without relying on anyone."
A few days later, when Zhang Heng came knocking again, seeking reconciliation, I looked at him coldly: "Zhang Heng, if you can't even offer the most basic respect, how can you expect my forgiveness?" His face turned crimson, yet he had no words to respond.
As I turned to leave, I heard him mumble something behind me, but I no longer cared.
