Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 693

Hearing Chen Wei put it that way, Ye Yuning now had a somewhat clearer picture.

In the marriages of the older generations, most families only became deeply intertwined after half a lifetime had passed. By then, it was often about caring for the elderly, and the daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law had more or less assimilated into each other’s lives!

But now, as soon as young people married, the older generations couldn’t wait to crowd together. With both sides essentially strangers, neither willing to yield to the other, wasn’t that just a recipe for disaster?

"I never expected you to have such insight!" Ye Yuning looked at Chen Wei in disbelief.

She had never imagined this girl could offer such a thorough analysis when it came to views on marriage. Chen Wei had thoroughly dissected and compared the marital situations of both the previous and current generations!

Indeed, after Chen Wei’s analysis, Ye Yuning also felt that the current state of marriage was truly problematic.

That’s right, everyone starts as strangers; who can truly accommodate whom?

This was probably why she had gotten so furious when Old Master Xiao spoke ill of her.

Furthermore, it was because Xiao Shuo had been sent away by Gui Xingli and Ling Yan that she hadn’t wanted to deal with the Xiao family.

In her view, she had simply endured Old Master Xiao for long enough.

Chen Wei said, "That’s why I’d rather not have this kind of ’experiential’ marriage."

Ultimately, the "experience" is just unpleasant!

Ye Yuning was at a loss for words. Originally, she had wanted to change this girl’s views on marriage, but after what Chen Wei said, Ye Yuning’s mind went blank too.

"And now that you’re returning to Upper City, who knows how much trouble is waiting for you."

"Me?" Ye Yuning echoed.

"Exactly! Even if you’re not quite ready to forgive Lord Xiao right now, you *were* brought back by him, so the Xiao and Qi Families are bound to be in an uproar."

Qi Mulan of the Qi Family was Xiao Linye’s intended fiancée—the kind who was on the verge of marriage. The Xiao Family also highly approved of Qi Mulan as a daughter-in-law. Consequently, Ye Yuning’s current appearance meant she was utterly despised by both the Qi and Xiao Families.

Ye Yuning fell silent. She herself had just insisted she didn’t want to return to Upper City!

However, after Qin Jinchuan’s assessment, it seemed Turanxi offered no refuge for her either. Country F was also not an option!

"Really, it’s just a mountain of trouble," Ye Yuning said, her head aching. This was just... what a mess.

Now she somewhat understood what Chen Wei was trying to express.

She had thought her personal feelings were her own business, separate from everything else, yet the number of people causing her trouble hadn’t diminished in the slightest.

Was this the lingering consequence of a single marriage?

"Then is there no other way to resolve this?" Ye Yuning asked.

"It can’t be resolved!" Chen Wei stated flatly.

Ye Yuning was taken aback. Is it really that serious?

Chen Wei said, "A friend of mine got divorced a while ago."

"That happened too?" Ye Yuning’s lips twitched.

Relationships... it really was a bit like what Chen Wei called an ’experiential marriage’; if you’re unhappy, you just leave.

Chen Wei continued, "Her ex-husband’s father and her cousin-in-law got into an argument, and they even ended up physically fighting!"

"What? What do you mean?" Ye Yuning asked, confused.

Ye Yuning didn’t quite grasp it. A cousin-in-law? What did she have to do with this?

Chen Wei explained, "My friend’s cousin-in-law’s child and her ex-husband’s sister’s child attended the same school. Her ex-husband’s father went to pick up his grandchild—his daughter’s child—and ran into my friend’s cousin-in-law. The two of them then started arguing."

"Over your friend’s divorce?" Ye Yuning asked.

"Exactly!" Chen Wei nodded.

Ye Yuning was dumbfounded. So, what did that even mean? Did one poorly handled marriage affect an entire circle of people around them?

No wonder Chen Wei had such a deep-seated fear.

It was a good thing she didn’t have many close relatives. If she did, and they weren’t particularly powerful, wouldn’t they have been terribly implicated by her this time?

It wasn’t just Chen Wei who was scarred by this; Ye Yuning herself was starting to feel a bit unsettled.

"It does sound incredibly troublesome," Ye Yuning conceded.

"So, I’m terrified of marriage!" Chen Wei declared.

"Never mind your fear of marriage for now. Quickly go and check on Tang Xi and Qin Jinchuan."

Those two had started arguing again. Especially Qin Jinchuan; during the time she’d spent with him, Ye Yuning had found his mouth a bit too sharp. But she hadn’t expected him to be *this* bad.

What on earth was all this about?

...

Ye Yuning had just witnessed quite the spectacle. This "spectacle" also belatedly made her even more wary of romantic relationships.

Outside, Xiao Linye separated Tang Xi and Qin Jinchuan. Qin Jinchuan’s face already showed signs of injury.

Sitting on the sofa at that moment, he drained his wine glass in one gulp and declared, "Tang Xi, you damned woman, you’re dead! I’m going to blacklist you!"

Tang Xi panted, "You’re drinking from *my* glass!"

BANG!

The moment she finished speaking, Qin Jinchuan slammed the glass down hard on the table, and its stem instantly snapped.

When Chen Wei came out, she heard Qin Jinchuan threatening to blacklist Tang Xi. Her heart clenched, and she quickly turned to go back to Ye Yuning’s dressing room. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Xiao Linye shot Qin Jinchuan a displeased look. Qin Jinchuan retorted, "Is this about the glass? Is it *really* about the glass?"

Is there something wrong with this woman’s priorities?

Seeing the two of them bickering, Xiao Linye simply turned and left.
