The Maid's Rise to Be a President's Wife-Chapter 257: Willfulness Requires Capital

"Is it because of Yiren? She knows that we love each other and is willing to fulfill us. Why can't you let go?" Tang Lei said softly. As long as he nodded, they could be together immediately. But he was still insisting on Yiren's status as his wife!

"Tang Lei, there are some things you don't understand now, but one day you will. Love isn't everything. Maybe we really loved each other once, but that's already in the past. I'm already married, and I must take responsibility for my wife," Ji Minze looked at Tang Lei and said. He couldn't give her any hope anymore. He and Yiren were already husband and wife, and that was a fact.

"You keep talking about responsibility. Then can you also take some responsibility for me? Take responsibility for a girl who wants no one but you. Do you really want to see me grow old alone?" Tang Lei said, crying. Ji Minze had really decided to abandon her. She couldn't accept this fact!

"Go back to George. He loves you more than I do. And I'm no longer worthy of your love," Ji Minze said with pity, looking at Tang Lei's tear-stained face. "Go inside. Don't catch a cold."

"You don't want me anymore. Why would you still care about what happens to me?" Tang Lei said desperately. She felt that Ji Minze was drifting further and further away from her!

"I've always regarded you as my sister," Ji Minze said.

"I don't want to be your sister at all. I only want to be your wife," Tang Lei looked up at Ji Minze and said.

"Tang Lei, stop being willful!" Ji Minze said and walked into the house without waiting for Tang Lei.

She no longer had the capital to be willful because Ji Minze could no longer indulge her willfulness. He would rather regard her as his sister and ignore their past feelings than give up the existing but empty status of his marriage.

Ji Minze returned to the Ji Family Estate.

He looked as haggard as if he had been completely drained of energy. He went upstairs and returned to his room.

In the bathroom, he soaked in the bathtub and unconsciously fell asleep.

He was really too tired!

Ji Aier heard the sound of Ji Minze coming back and went upstairs to check on him. Recently, Ji Minze's mental state had been very poor, and she was worried about him.

She knocked on the door, but there was no answer. So she opened the door and went in. She didn't see Ji Minze in the bedroom, and the bathroom door was closed. So she sat on the sofa outside and waited for him.

After a long while, she still didn't see Ji Minze come out. She began to worry and walked over to knock on the glass door of the bathroom.

Ji Minze woke up and asked in a hoarse voice,

"Is there something wrong?" He thought it was the servant.

"Minze, it's Mom. Why have you been taking such a long time?" Ji Aier stood at the bathroom door and asked.

"Mom, wait a moment. I'll come out right away," Ji Minze got out of the bathtub, took a shower, changed into a set of clothes, and walked out of the dressing room. He actually fell asleep in the bathtub.

"Mom, did you come to see me for something?" Ji Minze ran his fingers through his still-dripping hair and asked.

"It's nothing. I just came to check on you," Ji Aier looked at her beloved son and said. She knew Ji Minze's character. He didn't have the same cold and decisive side as his father, Ji En. He thought deeply about everything he did and pursued perfection. It was this character that made him seem indecisive and unable to act without hesitation.

"I'm fine. I'm just a bit worried about Yiren," Ji Minze said. So far, there was still no news about her.

"For now, we can only wait for Yiren to show up on her own. Otherwise, if she deliberately hides from us, we won't be able to find her. It's actually very easy to hide, but it's much harder to find someone who is deliberately hiding. So if Yiren doesn't show up, it will be very difficult for us to find her. Minze, don't put too much burden on yourself! There are some things that you can't control," Ji Aier said to Ji Minze.

"I know," Ji Minze nodded and said, "Mom, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure," Ji Aier nodded and smiled at Ji Minze.

"If Dad had really married Ouyang Xue back then, would you have hated him?" Ji Minze looked into Ji Aier's eyes and asked. His mother had once been his only support.

"Yes," Ji Aier nodded and said, "At that time, in the church, when I saw them having the wedding ceremony, I felt completely disheartened! That feeling was like the whole world had abandoned me, and it was really painful." Ji Aier always treated Ji Minze as an equal, so she never deliberately hid her true thoughts.

"Then Tang Lei must be feeling just as bad now that she knows I'm married," Ji Minze thought. In fact, he didn't want to hurt anyone, but he had hurt three girls who loved him at the same time.

"Do you want to be with Tang Lei?" Ji Aier asked in return. If he loved Tang Lei in his heart, then forcing himself to be with Yiren wouldn't last long. But if he loved Yiren in his heart and missed her, it would be very difficult to turn back. So it was most important now to determine whether the person he truly loved was Tang Lei or Yiren.

"No. I just don't want to hurt Tang Lei," Ji Minze looked up and said.

Some readers have said that Ji Minze is a bit like Zhang Wuji, and the author thinks this is very apt because Ji Minze is indeed not as decisive and brave as Ji En!
