After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 145 - 102: Cheated On (Part 3)

Xia Hui hesitated; she didn’t think there was any problem before.

Because her mom was like that, she had a crush on her dad in high school, got married after college, and had her and her brother, always very happy.

She thought her mom was the happiest woman in the world.

But now, she’s not so sure.

Ning Youguang, of course, knew what she was hesitating about, so he very seriously told her, "In my heart, housewives and independent women carry the same weight. There’s no differentiation between them; the difference lies in the lifestyle they prefer. Take your aunt as an example, she got married right after graduation, and doesn’t work much, but she takes care of you, Chenchen, our uncle, me, grandpa, Daidai, and the whole family very well. Doing all that is not easier than being a career woman. Has anyone in our family ever denied her value? Our other aunt is a successful career woman, but has anyone ever said she’s more outstanding than our first aunt? No, right? In fact, we could do without our second aunt, but not without our first aunt. The household simply wouldn’t run without her. See how important she is?"

"But I went to Beijing Foreign Studies University."

"And our aunt went to the Central Academy of Fine Arts and even has her own art gallery."

"Is it because I’m not excellent that I got abandoned?"

Xia Hui was struggling to break free from comparing her background with the mistress of her cheating ex.

"No, it’s because you’re no longer loved that you got abandoned."

"That’s so cruel." Xia Hui’s eyes started welling up again.

"But what does it represent? It represents nothing. When you look at it from a lifelong perspective, in the long run, this phase is just a phase. When you meet someone who really understands how to love you, you’ll realize that when you’re truly loved, you don’t need to be that excellent, that accommodating, that beautiful, and yet they will love you deeply. Everything about you will be the best in their eyes and heart."

"Love that requires you to tiptoe is unstable."

...

In the hotel restaurant.

Ning Youguang and Xia Hui sat at a table by the window, having breakfast.

It was empty around them; they were the only ones eating in the whole restaurant.

The waitstaff were two young guys, and upon seeing two pretty girls dining, they were particularly attentive in their service.

One of them, noticing Xia Hui’s low mood, was especially cautious and gentle when serving her.

This ubiquitous love...

"This hotel is pretty good," Ning Youguang said, cutting a piece of omelet and putting it in her mouth.

"I used to with him..." Xia Hui felt she had said too much and lowered her head.

"You see, even a relationship with a jerk isn’t without its benefits," Ning Youguang teased.

Xia Hui’s face turned slightly red, feeling a bit shy, and she took a sip of iced orange juice to cool off her flushed face.

"Youyou, why are you so determined to become a psychologist?"

"Because a good doctor saves lives, and a good psychologist saves minds." In the future, she hopes to save lives and minds.

She’s not looking to make a significant impact on society, just to make someone’s life a little better if possible.

Xia Hui looked at her cousin, who seemed to be glowing when talking about her dreams, and felt particularly envious: "I really envy you for knowing what you want since you were little and working towards it. I don’t really have anything I want to do that badly."

Ning Youguang knew she hadn’t recovered from the combined blows of her cheating ex and the other woman.

She put down her knife, looked at Xia Hui’s gloomy eyes, and said, "Sister Hui, are you sure you want to keep demeaning yourself for a label of excellence? Is that jerk really worth you devaluing your own worth?"

Xia Hui was dazed for a moment, then gave a bitter smile: "After everything, I find that I’m less inclined to judge someone based on academic excellence and talents."

"Isn’t it true that you should look at a person from multiple dimensions? No matter how impressive the resume of a jerk, they’re just an ordinary person. It’s only because you care about him that you think he’s the best in the world. If you don’t care, looking back, he’s just worthless. Look at me, aren’t I excellent too? But have I ever broken up any happy families?"

"..." Xia Hui.

"Someone as exceptional as me, who can easily outshine those jerks, should naturally do it in terms of talent and morality. So there’s no need for you to feel inferior to them. I never see you being inferior to me, do I?"

The girl raised an eyebrow, making Xia Hui chuckle uncontrollably.

She thought for a moment and said, "There are also rumors this woman has a bad reputation, like she’s gone out with many seniors alone and doesn’t do any work in the department."

Ning Youguang sighed; her cousin’s romance brain never seemed to change from past life to this.

Luckily, there’s still hope.

"If thinking about these things makes you feel better, then think about them, but ultimately, it’s that girl’s and the jerk’s business, nothing to do with you."

Xia Hui sighed, "That’s true."

"Look at things from a long-term and multi-angled perspective. That way, you won’t be trapped in one corner, stuck in shallow waters."

"But I’m still so sad."

"Actually, think about it, why can’t you let go of that jerk? Is it for his money?"

"Doesn’t seem like it. He didn’t spend much on me, I spent more on him."

"For his companionship?"

"He didn’t really give me the companionship I wanted."

"For his good points?"

"His good points weren’t exclusive to me."

"For his love?"

"Apart from the sweet beginning, it didn’t feel particularly happy later."

"If there’s nothing you’re after."

"Then why are you clinging on?"

"..."

"What you can’t let go of is the self that threw itself in, no matter what anyone said."

"..."

"What tortures you was never anyone else’s emotions but the hopeful expectations you held onto. Everything in the world has a way of healing, except you’re the only one refusing to let yourself go."

After saying most of what needed to be said, Ning Youguang popped a plump grape into her mouth, "I know you’re really sad and can’t help but think about him and her. Be good, eat a little more breakfast, then go back to the room. I brought you some herbal tea, drink a cup later and have a good sleep after."

Xia Hui’s eyes moistened, "Thank you, Youyou."

...

While Xia Hui was sleeping, Ning Youguang was texting Shi Wangyue.

Today’s hotel breakfast was particularly delicious, and she couldn’t help but share it with him.

[Kid: Why are you staying in a hotel?]

[Sister: With Hui Hui. ]

[Kid: What’s up?]

[Sister: The story isn’t long; it begins with a blush and ends with tears.]

[Kid: She... broke up?]

[Sister: Sigh.jpg, correct, no prize.]

[Kid: [WeChat transfer ¥13140] Take Hui Hui for some shopping and relaxation.]

[Sister: Such a big amount, got rich recently?]

[Kid: Helped a professor with something, earned a bit.]

[Sister: 666, but there’s no need, sister’s got money.]

[Kid: Heartache.jpg, feels bad that I can’t help Hui Hui when she’s so sad...]

[Sister: Alright, alright, I’ve accepted it. Thanks.jpg.]

[Kid: Happy.jpg]

...

After staying with Xia Hui at the hotel for two days, Ning Youguang returned to school for exams.

After the exams, Xia Hui still wasn’t doing well.

To avoid her family noticing something was wrong when she returned home, the sisters let their family know and immediately bought a plane ticket to Europe to unwind.
