AMRWFA -Chapter 298 The Ambition of a Man

Isn’t it normal for a man to keep thinking about that kind of thing? Hua Yirou wasn’t surprised at all. It’s not like she had never had boyfriends before—her previous ones were even more impatient, some even used all kinds of tricks.

It’s just that they weren’t willing to “move in” with her, so things always fell apart.

When it came to Hua Mingjie, Hua Yirou didn’t bother pretending anymore. She directly brought up the idea of him moving in.

He agreed, and only then did she consider whether to officially date him.

【According to the usual “pregnancy trope” logic, at this point he should already be eager to get Hua Yirou pregnant. But Hua Yirou was very careful—every time she insisted he use protection. He had no choice but to pretend he didn’t know much about contraception and kept asking her questions…】

【Oh right, he also had a huge advantage: he was a virgin.】

【When he said that, he could clearly see Hua Yirou was very happy.】

【Hua Mingjie complained inwardly: tsk! Women! Just like certain men.】

Hua Yirou: “……”

Those men always shouted that women should respect themselves. So what’s wrong with her wanting to find a “self-respecting man” by their standards?

She had been in relationships before, but she was young, beautiful, and rich—why couldn’t she choose a virgin man according to her preference?

【So just because Hua Mingjie is a virgin, Hua Yirou thinks he’s special and wants to take responsibility for him?】

Hua Yirou: Why not?

When men choose wives, they want virgins too. Why can’t she “marry” a virgin man when she’s choosing a husband?

【It’s not that she can’t. If Hua Mingjie could just behave himself as a kept man, that would be fine—but the problem is…】

【This is a “pregnancy scam trope,” basically the same kind of setup as a loan scam. How could something like this be good?】

【Hua Mingjie pretended so well before marriage. In the end, wasn’t it just to “marry into” a wealthy family and live off her?】

【But after marriage, he realized life in a rich family wasn’t what he imagined. Yes, there were cars when going out, servants at home, good food and clothes—but…】

【He didn’t get to decide what to eat or wear, and he had almost no money. Hua Yirou only gave him 10,000 yuan a month as pocket money.】

【What can you even do with 10,000 yuan? You can’t even buy a watch.】

Hua Yirou: 10,000 is a bit little… how about 20,000?

He doesn’t work anyway, and food and clothes are all provided at home. The money is just for appearances—why would he need that much?

Men become bad when they have money; she didn’t want him to go astray.

【Sigh…】

Ruan Yaoyao sighed inwardly, because without even reading further, she already knew something bad was going to happen.

Otherwise, this book wouldn’t be called Entanglement, and it wouldn’t be classified as a tragedy.

And indeed, things only became more heartbreaking afterward.

After Hua Yirou successfully became pregnant, Hua Mingjie initially still pretended, but as her pregnancy symptoms worsened and her temper grew worse, he could no longer keep up the act.

Especially when Hua Yirou’s father suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized, Hua Mingjie persuaded her to bring his mother into the house, claiming that “a daughter-in-law shouldn’t dislike her mother-in-law,” and that with his mother taking care of things, her pregnancy would be easier.

In reality, Hua Mingjie wanted to use his mother as a scapegoat.

Yes, exactly that.

He planned to take this opportunity to “get rid of” Hua Yirou.

Since her father was already in the hospital and critically ill, and her mother was just a housewife who couldn’t handle anything, if anything happened to Hua Yirou at this time, as the only “man” in the family, he would naturally appear as the pillar of support.

Hua Yirou widened her eyes in disbelief: What?!

Hua Mingjie wanted to harm her?!

How was that possible?

She was already married to him—and carrying his child…

【Hua Mingjie was also worried that poisoning might be traced back to him, so he chose a simpler method: letting his mother do all kinds of “toxic” and outrageous things, disrupting Hua Yirou’s pregnancy and ideally causing both mother and child to die.】

【If they both died, as her husband, he could legally “inherit” everything from the Hua family.】

【But what he didn’t expect was that although Hua Yirou looked gentle, she actually had a strong personality. So when his mother started causing trouble, Hua Yirou first tried reasoning. When reasoning didn’t work, she directly sent bodyguards to send his mother back to her hometown.】

【Hua Mingjie, seeing the plan fail, became furious and anxious, cursing his mother for being useless.】

【He immediately changed his strategy and started picking fights with Hua Yirou, blaming her for mistreating his mother. He ignored her explanations and smeared her, saying she looked down on his mother for being from the countryside, and therefore looked down on him as well.】

【In a rage, he moved out and stayed in one of the Hua family’s hotels.】

【Why stay in her family’s hotel instead of somewhere else? Because he had no money.】

Hua Yirou: So you try to kill me and still think you’re in the right?

What the hell is this?!

【The pregnant Hua Yirou had no choice but to try to appease him, buying gifts for his mother as compensation, but firmly refused to let his mother live in the house again.】

【Hua Mingjie took what benefits he could and backed off. His mother moved back, but his attitude didn’t improve. He constantly brought it up to provoke Hua Yirou.】

【She was already overwhelmed—pregnant, her father hospitalized, and her family’s greedy relatives fighting over the inheritance. With Hua Mingjie adding to the chaos, she became exhausted and mentally drained.】

【Sigh… originally Hua Yirou thought she would just have a child and let her father raise it, while she enjoyed an easy life. Who would’ve thought things would turn out like this?】

【Now her father was hospitalized, her mother was just an ordinary housewife, and her husband was useless and causing trouble, while a bunch of greedy relatives circled around. In the end, she had no choice but to handle everything herself.】

【When she finally stabilized the company, it was time to give birth. She almost died on the operating table—and even then, she gave birth to a baby girl who had to stay in an incubator. Her uterus was also removed…】

【Oh, and she still had to manage the company herself.】

Hua Yirou: Am I really that miserable?

What was all this struggle even for?

If I had known, I should’ve just done everything myself from the start.

【At that moment, she thought: if only she had handled everything herself in the first place.】

Xu Nannan and Yu Xiangqiao secretly glanced at Hua Yirou and nodded in agreement inwardly: exactly—why go through all that trouble?

【Then, Hua Mingjie despised her for giving birth to a daughter.】

【Hua Yirou argued with him, and he left home, not returning for a month.】

【From then on, he rarely came back.】

Hua Yirou was speechless. Wasn’t the whole point just to have a child?

Now that she had, and couldn’t have more children, what was the point of keeping him?

No emotional value, nothing but trouble—was her home a garbage dump?

If he didn’t come back, then he should never come back.

Clearly, the “Hua Yirou” in Ruan Yaoyao’s vision wasn’t thinking this way. She would lower herself to beg him to return.

Even after discovering he had another woman outside, she endured it—as long as he came home.

Hua Yirou: “……”

Are you sure that’s me?

Or some lovesick woman just using my name?
