Jian stormed off after being questioned about Han Qian. Meanwhile, Wen Yi confided in Ming Wei about the harsh treatment she and her sisters receive from their stepmother, Auntie Su, contrasting it with Ming Wei's loving relationship with her own stepmother, Kang. The scene then shifts to the Shen family residence, where Jian's father, Austin, has unexpectedly arrived, expressing his desire to reconnect with his son.
"Are you toying with me right now?" Wen Siyuan questioned He Wei, his gaze fixed on him. "Or are you claiming ignorance regarding Teacher Shen's affections for Group Leader Luo?" Taken aback by Wen Siyuan's direct question, He Wei's expression shifted to one of embarrassment. "Old Wen, you're misinterpreting my intentions. I wasn't pretending ignorance; it's just that I genuinely didn't expect Teacher Shen to still harbor feelings for our group leader after all these years. Honestly, I'm telling you the truth. After all, Teacher Shen remarried and even has a child with his current wife..." He trailed off, assuming Wen Siyuan had grasped the implication. "You don't need to elaborate for me," Wen Siyuan stated flatly. He continued walking, his gaze not meeting He Wei's, yet a profound sense of disappointment washed over him concerning Shen Yun. How could such a brilliant talent and esteemed researcher be so utterly oblivious in matters of the heart? To be so base and shameless that one could only feel contempt! As his thoughts meandered, Wen Siyuan found himself recalling Su Man. He considered that even if she weren't college-bound, even nearing graduation, a high school graduate should possess a certain level of decorum and moral integrity, shouldn't they? Yet, what had transpired? While he dedicated himself to his work at the institute, she had shamelessly entangled herself with another man, betrayed him, and then cruelly blamed the child she carried on him, falsely claiming he had consented to an abortion. Utterly shameless! Detestably despicable! A cold glint flickered in his eyes, quickly followed by a wave of regret. He lamented divorcing his ex-wife, Song Ning, regretting his ruthless pursuit of a divorce solely for the sake of having a son. Song Ning, his ex-wife, was gentle, kind, diligent, and never once raised her voice at him. Every time he returned home on leave, she would handle all household chores, ensuring their home, him, and their child were meticulously cared for. Before he departed back to the institute, she would neatly fold his clean clothes into his luggage and pack various snacks, anticipating that his work might cause him to miss meals. In stark contrast, Su Man was entirely self-absorbed. Even when she initially joined the family and appeared to manage the household competently, she would occasionally throw childish tantrums in front of him whenever he was present, requiring sweet words and coaxing to appease her. At the time, he had mistaken this for marital intimacy. But looking back now, he realized he had been utterly foolish! His ex-wife had treated him with such genuine care, centering her world around him and their child, yet he had been ungrateful. After demanding a divorce and bringing another woman into their home, look at his own foolishness, constantly needing to placate Su Man with a smile, always anxious to keep her happy. He feared that she, a woman who had no inkling of his hard work and failed to understand him, might be displeased. Before he would return to the institute after his leave, she would carelessly toss his clothes into his bag, not offering a single word of concern. She never prepared any snacks for him, not even to occasionally stave off hunger during demanding work hours. Reflecting on these memories, Wen Siyuan felt a surge of both indignation and bitterness. The indignation stemmed from his current wife, Su Man. The bitterness, undeniably, arose from recalling his past moments with his ex-wife, Song Ning. Regret? Yes, Wen Siyuan was steeped in regret now. He should never have forced a divorce upon his ex-wife for the sake of a son. "I'm not explaining; I simply find it hard to believe," He Wei's voice interrupted Wen Siyuan's reverie. He continued, "Actually, when you think about it, Teacher Shen is also quite shameless. Even if he had feelings for Group Leader Luo, she was already with Comrade Kang before joining our institution. I can't believe he was unaware of this. Knowing this and still pursuing Group Leader Luo demonstrated a complete lack of moral sense. Now, years later, he's capitalizing on Comrade Kang's overseas studies to secretly sow discord with Group Leader Luo, attempting to shatter their marriage. He thoroughly deserved the public scolding he received from Group Leader Luo!" Wen Siyuan offered no comment upon hearing He Wei's words. "By the way, Old Wen, what exactly led you and your wife to divorce?" He Wei inquired, seemingly out of concern for Wen Siyuan. However, Wen Siyuan remained silent. Noticing his silence, He Wei nudged Wen Siyuan with his shoulder. "Can't you confide in your brother? Your wife is quite something, threatening suicide right in front of you. How much animosity did she harbor against you for everyone to be gossiping about you behind your back?"
