Mr. Yuan’s Dilemma: Can’t Help Falling in Love with You

After Yuan Tian was sure that Wen Ya and Yuan Zhe had walked far away, she and Mu Chenyan walked out from behind the tree. Yuan Tian immediately began to curse, “He’s my older brother but why are they so different?

I’ve known for a long time that my eldest brother was up to no good! However, I’d never expected him to be this bad.”

Yuan Tian’s anger was understandable. Anyone else would have cherished a woman like Wen Ya, but Yuan Zhe treated her like a pair of worn-out shoes that he wanted to throw away. Moreover, she had even been domestically abused by him.

Since Mu Chenyan had known about Yuan Zhe for a long time now, her reaction was not as intense as Yuan Tian’s. Her cold gaze glanced in the direction of Peace Mansion before she whispered, “There are too many monsters in that Yuan Family of yours…”

Yuan Tian had yet to understand what Mu Chenyan meant and assumed that she was just still mad at Yuan Xuan. Thus, she consoled her, saying,

“Chenyan, you’ve seen what a freaking scumbag this man truly is! Although Yuan Xuan has a proud personality and is somewhat overbearing, at least he still holds you in his heart, right? Look at my eldest brother. How could he possibly be a suitable partner for our eldest sister-in-law?”

It seemed as though Yuan Tian could not hide her anger as she stared in the direction of Peace Mansion.

Mu Chenyan’s mood had also become gloomy because of Wen Ya’s predicament.

She had previously turned down Yuan Xuan when he offered to track down the people who bullied her because she was thinking of Wen Ya.

If this matter was exposed, no one would suffer as much as that pitiful woman.

It was exactly as she had said it. No matter how much Yuan Zhe fooled around, she could always turn him a blind eye. However, when he messed around with someone in his own household, she would surely learn of it sooner or later. How would she be able to face everyone else then?

“Tian Tian, our sister-in-law Wen Ya has been married for four years already, right?” Mu Chenyan suddenly asked.

Yuan Tian hesitated before she nodded and replied, “That’s about right. You had yet to graduate at the time, and were still overseas. She’d even told me that it was very unfortunate that you were one of her best friends but there was no way for you to attend her wedding.”

Mu Chenyan’s sharp eyebrows furrowed slightly while a confused look flashed across her eyes.

She and Wen Ya had certainly been closer at the time. However, all of the changes began after Wen Ya returned from abroad. She gradually severed all communications between them, and when it was rumored that the Wen Family’s business was in the midst of a crisis, Wen Ya was so busy that she became confused and disorientated. Mu Chenyan could understand her actions and did not blame her for this.

However, Wen Ya had not informed her when she got married after that.

She only discovered after she had returned from overseas that Wen Ya’s husband was apparently Yuan Zhe.

There had been a year-long gap between Yuan Xuan’s initial proposal and the date of the actual wedding. Mu Chenyan was only 21 years old at that time, but she handled everything on her own. Since there was no one whom she could consult, she tried to contact Wen Ya numerous times to get her advice. However, Wen Ya was intentionally avoiding her.

“Tian Tian, why did Wen Ya suddenly marry Yuan Zhe?”

Mu Chenyan remembered that Wen Ya and Yuan Zhe had previously not spent much time together. Moreover, Wen Ya was her equal in terms of her good looks, talent, and temperament. During those years, many people had compared her to Wen Ya and said that the title of the number one socialite was firmly shared between the two of them.

However, neither she, nor Wen Ya, were competitive individuals. Hence, they were unconcerned about their little ‘competition’.

“I’m not too sure about the entire situation, but I heard my father and mother secretly discussing that it seemed like our sister-in-law was pregnant. Meanwhile, Old Mistress thought that since this involved the descendants of the second son and that the men of the Yuan Family also have to bear the consequences of their actions, she proposed that my eldest brother marry our sister-in-law Wen Ya into the family.”

When Yuan Tian thought about it, she realized that it would have been better if Wen Ya had not married Yuan Zhe.

Once a woman had committed herself to the wrong man, the remained of her life would be ruined.

She thought of Wen Ya, a woman who had been pampered and spoiled since childhood in her own home, only to suffer such cruel abuse after being married into the Yuan Family.

“They’re truly a real life example of the saying ‘a beautiful woman who married an incompetent husband is like a flower stuck in dog poop’.” Yuan Tian continued to grumble but the words that she blurted out had amused Mu Chenyan.

“People usually say ‘cow dung’. Why must you always try to differentiate yourself from everyone else?”
