Can’t Take My Eyes Off You

Chapter 1551: Spinster

Her stepdaughter always looked down on her for marrying a husband who was so much older than her.
She had grown tired of her stepdaughter as she always looked down on people with her nose in the air.

Furthermore, Zhu Suping also looked down on her stepdaughter.
Ye Xueli had not gotten married yet; it was not because she could not find a partner, but because she had high standards.

Ye Xueli was a teacher at Luo City Primary School.
She had a decent job and had studied for many years.
In addition, she had a father who was a colonel in the army.
She would have been considered a popular girl.

In the early years, Ye Xueli was also engaged.
Colonel Ye personally had chosen her partner.
The man’s family background was not great, but it was not bad either.
Colonel Ye thought he was a young man with a bright future.
He was also a soldier in the army.

However, that man was later seriously injured during a mission.
After his injury healed, he had a large scar on his face.
With one look, Ye Xueli could tell that he was ugly.
She insisted on asking Colonel Ye to cancel the engagement.

After the engagement was canceled, Ye Xueli was left alone.
The people in the army looked down on her because she had canceled the engagement because of the injury on the man’s face.
Outside the military, competent men looked down on her.
She did not have much of a future.
There might be men interested in her, but she was too arrogant for them.

When Ye Xueli heard that Colonel Lu was married, the news affected her greatly.
It was not easy for her to fall in love with a man, but she did not expect another woman to strike first.

“His wife has also moved into the army base?” Ye Xueli hated the woman.
You’ve met his wife? How does she look? What does she do for a living?”

“A few days ago, she stayed in the army base for a few days, but I heard that she went back to her hometown to recuperate.
I saw her once.
The rest of the time, she stayed at home.
Because of her poor health, Colonel Lu did not allow anyone to disturb her, so none of us could go meet her properly.”

Zhu Su Ping did not clear the dishes.
She immediately dragged a chair and sat back down, saying, “You haven’t seen how much he dotes on his wife.
Every day, he would buy fresh vegetables and cook for her.
Every day, he would also buy fresh fruits.
He would buy different kinds of fruit every day.
He did not care about money at all.
He even had people bring back imported fruits from the city.
Any woman who saw that would die of envy.”

Looking at Ye Xueli’s increasingly hideous face, Zhu Suping’s heart felt even happier.
“That woman really knows how to pick a husband.
Colonel Lu treats her so well.
That girl looks extremely frail, but she’s exceptionally beautiful.
She’s fair and neat, and it’s obvious that she’s enjoying her life.”

“His wife is right next door? I want to see her!”Ye Xueli was so angry that she was about to walk out.

Zhu Suping said unhurriedly.
“She left yesterday.
I heard she went back to her hometown to recuperate.
Colonel Lu will be participating in closed-door training in a few days and won’t have time to take care of his wife.
How can he be at ease with his wife living alone here? Of course, he sent her home and let the servants take care of her.”

At that point, Zhu Suping stood up and smiled hypocritically.
“Even though you’re old, it’s useless to be anxious about getting married.
You can’t go to someone who has a wife.
Anyway, you’re already so old.
It’s the same even if you wait for another one or two years.”
